What happened previously in The Day of the Jackal? A quick summary of episode 8
The previous episode of The Day of the Jackal gave viewers an insight into the Jackal's past, and how his former identity affected his present. It was revealed that the Jackal was a part of the British army stationed in Turkey at an outpost. He was involved in a shooting that went wrong, with his fellow soldiers killing many civilians in the area, just to pursue a target.
This made the Jackal quit the army and utilize his skills as a targeted hitman. These scenes were contrasted with Jackal's present life and the failure of the hit on Ulle Dag Charles. Jackal's wife Nuria also found his true identity out and demanded to see him so that she could hear the whole story.
