| The Red Jacket / int_643618e5 | comment |
Replacement Goldfish: After Nikola is dropped off at Walter's house, because of the label on the jacket, Walter gives him some breakfast. It seems that the grieving father will take the orphaned boy in. | |

Ominous Fog | |
| The Red Jacket / int_93deab19 | comment |
Ominous Fog: Nikola's family's farm is wreathed in fog as the UN peacekeeper soldiers search it the morning after the bandits came through. The ominous mood is justified when one of the UN soldiers is grievously wounded by a bomb. | |

Precision F-Strike | |
| The Red Jacket / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: Nikola runs out of the hospital, then runs into a road, into the path of a car. The German woman slams on her brakes and as a result barely taps Nikola with the front fender of her car. All she can say is "Scheisse!". | |
