The Jackal, a highly effective assassin, stages a false flag attack to wound Elias Fest, the son of far right German Chancellor candidate Manfred Fest. This draws the senior Fest into a hospital visit where the Jackal assassinates him with a record distance sniper rifle shot. Reviewing the footage of the Jackal leaving the scene, MI6 firearms expert Bianca realises he used a sniper rifle with a collapsable barrel. She theorises it was made by Northern Irish gunsmith Norman Stoke. Following the Fest assassination, the Jackal is contacted by an anonymous source, who offers him $10 million for a job. At an in-person meeting with the contact, Zina Jansone, the Jackal learns the target is tech mogul Ulle Dag Charles (UDC), who is about to release a disruptive technology known as River. The Jackal demands $100 million to kill such a high-profile and well-protected target. After returning home to his wife Nuria, the person who commissioned the Jackal to assassinate Fest refuses to pay him. Meanwhile, Bianca attempts to force her Belfast contact, Allison, to find Stoke. When she is unsuccessful, Bianca has Allison's activist daughter, Emma, arrested. However, the plan backfires when Emma goes into cardiac arrest in custody.
2"Episode 2"Brian KirkRonan Bennett7 November 2024 (2024-11-07)14 November 2024
Emma dies from her cardiac arrest. Bianca covers up her death to force Allison to find Norman. Using his alias Charles, the Jackal spends time at his home in Spain with Nuria and their son Carlito. However, he is forced to leave early when he receives a lead on the source of the withheld payment for the Fest assassination. After dropping the Jackal at the airport, Nuria spies him by chance after he briefly returns to their town to visit his bank, leading her to assume he is having an affair. Upon re-arriving in Munich, the Jackal is forced to divert to meet with Zina again, who confirms that her employer, Timothy Winthorp, has agreed to the Jackal's terms. However, she also informs him that the assassination must be completed within the month before UDC can launch revolutionary new software to expose dark money worldwide. The Jackal agrees. After further investigation in Munich, the Jackal discovers Elias Fest was the one who hired him and is refusing to pay him after being shot. Meanwhile, pursuing her investigation of the assassin, Bianca theorises he is British and former British Army. Allison obtains Norman's phone number, and Bianca is deployed to Belarus to arrest him. The operation goes awry, though, and Norman kills two of Bianca's colleagues before escaping, leading Bianca to believe he was tipped off.

In the aftermath of the Belarus operation, Bianca uses a recovered suitcase from Norman's location to prove he made a collapsible sniper rifle that could be smuggled through customs. Her superiors, Isabel Kirby and Osita Halcrow, keep her on the investigation. MI6 fixer Carver begins investigating the source of the Belarus leak, with Bianca, her colleague Damian and Kirby and Halcrow under suspicion. In Germany, as the Jackal prepares to infiltrate Manfred Fest's funeral to reach Elias, he calls Nuria. She confronts him about her sighting of him. He attempts to prove he isn't having an affair, but Nuria remains suspicious. With the help of her mother and brother, she searches Charles' home office. They find a hidden vault. Allison and her husband Larry arrive in London to identify Emma's body. Allison angrily rebukes Bianca whilst Norman contacts Larry and reveals what happened to him. Larry confronts Allison and assaults her upon learning she's a mole. The Jackal, now enraged due to the withheld payment from Elias, infiltrates Manfred's funeral and abducts Elias to confront him before shooting him dead. Following a lead, Bianca discovers the assassin's codename: Jackal. Nuria and her family break into the vault, which the Jackal sees via CCTV as he leaves Germany.

The Jackal convinces Nuria to join him in Paris, where he claims he is a troubleshooter engaging in corporate espionage, winning her trust. Despite concerns about blowback from Elias' murder for the UDC job, Winthrop and his conspirators decide to retain the Jackal's services. Meanwhile, Larry kills Allison and draws Bianca into a trap. She narrowly escapes with the help of protection agent Vincent Pyne, who she asks to have reassigned to her team. She returns home to find Larry has taken her daughter Jasmine hostage.
