Polish body guard was being duped by French agents. They learn of the existence of an assassin--but nothing more. Body guard dies after interrogation. Jackal kills the ID forger who tried to blackmail him--not a good idea to blackmail the Jackal. He's off to commit the murder though his employees would call the whole thing off if they could get in touch with him. Introduction to the physically unimpressive detective who will stop the Jackal. The assassins also have in an "in" on the investigation--mistress to one of the police superintendents. Very enjoyable.
Solid opening 30 minutes (we're treating this like a mini-series). O's involvement with left-wing causes . . . rift with Einstein (O thinks of him as over-the-hill and Einstein knows it.) First splitting of atom. Lawrence Lab in Berkeley--Lawrence practical applied physics . . . not O's strength. Main actor is from Peaky Blinders.
