Deliberate mistake: When Walker leaves the tunnels in London and Hunt follows him, they both start their way to the Tate Modern Museum at Queens Head Passage / Paternoster Row. While Hunt is being chased and cannot choose his route, besides not knowing about Walker's destination, Walker deliberately takes a detour to Blackfriars Station and the bridge, even though he could just have walked a direct line from St. Paul's Cathedral towards Tate Modern using Millennium Bridge to directly cross to the museum and his getaway. The whole chase sequence would be obsolete. (01:31:58 - 01:36:56)

Question: What's the idea behind the name 'Nils Debruuk'? It's stated he's Norwegian, but 'Debruuk' doesn't sound Norwegian at all, more like someone from the Netherlands?

Answer: Nils Debruuk could be Norwegian by nationality, rather than by race if his parents, Grandparents, etc. immigrated to Norway. He may also be part Norwegian on his maternal side if his mother had a child by someone from another country. It is also possible his mother was full-blooded Norwegian and his father was half and had a non-Norwegian father. There's a number of possibilities. I did an Internet search on the name. In that form, I didn't find anything as a surname. There is De Bruuk, which is an area in the Netherlands.
