They needed to go back to the movie and find someone like Michael Lonsdale. At first, you do not think he has a chance of stopping the Jackal (then Edward Fox, the guy they casted for the Jackal reminds me of him a little), but as you watch him, you realize that he has everything it takes to beat the Jackal and more. The show's producers are trying to sell the idea that only some kind of intelligence person chasing all over the world can deal with a situation like this. Nothing could be further from the truth, considering all the intelligence failures our history is replete with. Even worse, MI-6? For years, they were in the back pocket of the KGB! Check out Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy for details. I can't wonder who owns them now?
