The preview for episode 9 of the show started with a look into how the Jackal would continue his mission to assassinate Ulle Dag Charles (UDC). After a failed attempt in Tallinn, UDC retreated back to his island home, doubling up his security personnel and protective measures. However, the Jackal shall choose to be determined and pursue his target.

The preview went into details of how the world-class assassin would pursue UDC. The Jackal shall be seen using a steady-cam unit meant for cameras to stabilise his gun on a moving speedboat.

Using the speedboat, the Jackal shall navigate the waters around the island to disable UDC's security drones and take down guards before making an attempt on his target's life.

Meanwhile, the audience might see the Jackal's private life falling apart. He shall finally reveal his identity to his wife Nuria, confessing to her that he is paid to kill people off. The shock and betrayal after this confession shall leave their marriage and familial state in doubt.

Nuria might act on instinct to protect her son and her family. Though she is deeply attached to the love of her life, her child might come as a priority in the face of this reveal. Conversely, the Jackal might be forced to consider the true implications and impact of his actions at last.

On the other hand, Bianca shall be seen trying to reach out to her own family for comfort and support. In her pursuit of the Jackal, she has become estranged from her home and shall be making an effort to mend that. Bianca's husband shall be seen becoming a shoulder of support for her as she vents to him about her situation.
