this is exactly why i liked it so much. i was very confused the first couple times watching it, but then everything clicked.
food for thought: how long do you think Altobello was involved with the vatican?
also: the check that altobello wrote to mike in the beginning i almost see as a sign, its like he was saying "you dont know this yet, but me and the vatican are or are going to become partners.
just thinking out loud sorry
