1927

In 1927 Jack Harkness landed in Ellis Island. His forged visa was stolen by Angelo Colasanto. Angelo was imprisoned, but Jack faked papers to let him out. Jack and Angelo eventually found a room to share in New York City. They thwarted a plot by the Trickster's Brigade to use an alien parasite to harm future US President Roosevelt's mind and let the Third Reich to win World War II. Jack disintegrated the creature, but was caught by the police. Jack was shot and Angelo arrested. He assumed Jack was dead. (TW: Immortal Sins)
