In 1943 Rome, LIEUTENANT JACKSON (30s, black) watches GIUSEPPE approach FATHER WALSH (50s, Irish) at the edge of Vatican jurisdiction at the behest of a few Nazis. Jackson alerts a Swiss guard, CONRAD, to warn Walsh that Giuseppe is trying to lure him out of Vatican territory so the Nazis can capture and interrogate him. Walsh and Conrad call out Giuseppe, who admits he was blackmailed. Jackson tries to arrange for Giuseppe to escape the city, but a Nazi known as THE HAWK kills him. Jackson narrowly escapes. Later he chastises Walsh for risking himself. Walsh apologizes and convinces Jackson to take a vacation to relax.
