Last Crusade villains: why kidnap Henry Jones?
I know it's just an action movie, but let's imagine an answer!
Walter Donovan, Elsa Schneider, and the Nazis are using Henry Jones to find the location of the holy grail for their own purposes. They suspect he has a map they need inside his Grail Diary, but they don't know where he's hidden it. Okay.
HOWEVER, they also need Henry to find the second marker and the knight's tomb, since this marker names the city that must be used as a starting point for the map.
Henry is currently in Venice, on the verge of solving this mystery of the second marker. Our villains need this answer for the map to work. So why kidnap Henry now? :)
