The Day of the Jackal Ending Explained: Who Dies?

Viewers are anxiously waiting to know if the central character Bianca Pullman, portrayed by Lashana Lynch, dies at the end of The Day of the Jackal. The final episode features Jackal, the most-wanted man who makes his best attempts to return to his wife, Nuria. However, Bianca faces the last opportunity to catch the man and put him behind bars. Does she manage to do it or face a brutal fate? Here are the details.

Does Bianca die at the end of The Day of the Jackal Season 1?

Bianca appears to be dead at the end of The Day of the Jackal Season 1.

Episode 10 features Bianca and associate Vince Pyne looking into the recent arrest of Jackal’s dangerous brother-in-law, Alvaro. During the investigation, they also get their hands on the home address of Jackal which they immediately head to. Upon reaching, they find his wife, Nuria, and her son, running away from their home to remain safe from the on-run criminal.

They don’t stop her and let her escape, per her plans. Nonetheless, they head to his home to see if they can find any information. That’s when Jackal, who is bruised badly, arrives at the place following an altercation with his older hostages. However, he soon comes to his senses and realizes that Nuria has betrayed him and escaped.

At this point, viewers might assume that Bianca and Vince have a clear chance to bring the killer to justice. However, an unexpected turn of events occurs. As the duo heads to trap the Jackal, Vince bumps into something, alerting him of their presence eventually.

Jackal immediately runs and hides in a weapons room, which the duo remains unaware of. Bianca comes close to catching him but eventually fails. Being two steps ahead of them, Jackal strategically plans a perilous move. As the duo tries to track him, he brutally kills them both. Bianca’s death sent shockwaves through the fandom which had become so invested in her story since the beginning.

The story ends with her tragic demise. However, if Season 2 ever happens, the creators could perhaps find a way to revive her creatively, if they want to.
