|Sawyer House Fire|
_______________________________________________________________________________
For some reason, the bodies of the victims are listed as a clue if you use
intuition, even though they offer no clue. Also, after looking at both the
bodies and the regulator valve(below), the investigation music was still
going, even though intuition said there were no clues left. Not sure if this is
a glitch or if I'm missing something.
Clue- Regulator valve
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After talking to the coroner, look on the ground just off of the front right
corner of the house. It's kind of small.
After looking at the valve, you'll see someone across the street. He starts
running, so chase him down. After you question him, head over to Suburban
Redevelopment and watch the cutscene there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look in the trunk of the car. You'll also find the Elysian Fields flyers in
there.
After you close the trunk, you'll spot Chapman. He hops on the trolley and
takes control of it. That thing will blow through traffic, pushes cars to the
sides, so be careful, or you'll hit them. Try to damage the side a little bit.
Once one of the side panels are off, and after you've chased the trolley a
bit, your partner will start shooting at the wheels. This stops the trolley.
Chapman gets off, packing heat. Shoot him to close this case.

There are two desks pushed together in the building. The receipt is on one of
them.
Clue- Demolition order; Clue- Company memo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both of these items are on the lone desk in the building.
Clue- Broken wood
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit the first building and fight the man outside. Beat him down and he'll
tell you where the demolished house is. Go over there and head around to the
back of it on the left side. You'll see a red flag in the ground. Investigate
the wood here and piece it together. It says Keystone Films.
At this point you'll be chased into a trench by a bulldozer. Adjust the camera
so you can see the bulldozer behind you and keep running forward. Take shots
at him whenever you get a chance to slow him down. You can also actually shoot
the driver, but you have to be pretty lucky to catch him when the front end is
down. If you can't kill the driver, just keep shooting to slow him down and
run to the end. Once you're out of the trench, use a phone to get the address
for Keystone Film Studios.

Jump the fence to your left and look on the first pile of lumber to your left.
It's hard to see, but there's a receipt on the end of one of the planks.
Clue- Inferior quality lumber
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the opposite side of the receipt you should see another pile of lumber.
Check the end for a small sign that says Inferior Quality.
Clue- Film canister
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hop back over the gate, then hop over the other gate, the one to your right.
Keep going straight until you see an open door to your left with "Screening
Room" above it. There's a table to your right just after you enter. You'll
find the empty film canister on it.
Clue- Film
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the vertical case in the middle of the room. You'll need to adjust the
focus of the film and the speed. It's going in reverse right now. When you
think you've got it, flip the direction switch to start the film over from
the beginning and watch it.
Use the phone after you're done to talk with Curtis Benson and Elsa Lichtmann.

|Elysian Fields Site Two|
_______________________________________________________________________________
Enter the house across the street with the flickering light. Go upstairs and
you'll be ambushed by three guys. You'll need to fight one of them off, but
eventually you'll still be put down. After a couple of cutscenes, you manage
to escape from the trunk of the car. Run down the alley. A red car stops on
the street in front of you. Get in and drive away. They'll be right behind you,
so you'll need to use the alleys and side streets to try and get away from
them. Keep an eye out for narrow roads on your mini-map and use them. You'll
ditch them for good as you get close to Elsa's apartment. Once there, the
case is closed.

P.O.I.- Courtney Sheldon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk to the guard, then go upstairs to the Land Registry Office. The guy up
here will lead you to the S section. Find Suburban Redevelopment in the
ledger and tap on Courtney Sheldon's name at the bottom.
Clue- Elysian lot number 1876988
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go over to the lat/lon dials that the guy leads you to. The latitude should
read 034-04-29, and the longitude should read 118-17-58. After this, go over
to the adding machine and put in 1876988 divided by 90,000, then pull the
lever. The number is 20, but you have to add 1, so it's 21. The 21st letter of
the alphabet is U, so search the U section. You'll find the lot number on the
second page in the ledger, third from the top.
After you've found the lot, four guys will come in and start a firefight with
you. Watch the bookshelves to your right. A guy with a shotgun likes to flank
that way. After you've taken them out, watch the cutscene and you'll wind up
back at your apartment. Answer the phone.
_______________________
|Leland Monroe's Mansion|
_______________________________________________________________________________
This is one big firefight you're about to get mixed up in. There are plenty of
thugs guarding the grounds of the mansion, but you'll have plenty of help
taking them all on. There are more people inside though, and you'll be alone.
In fact, when you kick open the first door, step back, or you'll be ambushed
by the two people on the other side. Keep fighting your way through the
mansion until you get to Monroe himself.
Newspaper
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the cabinet behind the desk in Monroe's office.
You won't get clues, but you still need to check out some things before you
can move on. The photograph by the Newspaper, the open safe (and contents
within), and the folder on Monroe's desk all offer insight. This closes the
case.

doors to your left. Once you find it, look inside and you'll see a stockpile
of morphine.
Clue- Fontaine's blackmail papers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as you enter the room with the body, look on the desk to your right.
You should see a folder. Open it up and tap on both papers in here.
Clue- Crystal ball
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laying on the ground in front of the white cabinets/bookcase.
Clue- Freeway route
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look on the desk in the room. You'll see a notepad. Shade it in to reveal some
kind of map. Back out of it and check the newspaper next to it. Cole will put
the paper under the shading. Turns out it's a freeway, and Leland Monroe's
housing divisions were being built right in the path of it.
Newspaper
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the same desk as the freeway route.
You can also examine Fontaine's body for some more insight.

this table.
__________________
|L.A. River Tunnels|
_______________________________________________________________________________
You'll have to escort Kelso to the river tunnels. A ton of cops will be after
him. Disable them as they come and make sure Kelso's car doesn't take too much
damage. Once you're actually at the tunnels, you'll have a lot of shooting to
do. The place is crawling with bad guys. Keep going until you find yourself in
waist high water. You'll climb a ladder to get out of the water, and there will
be a guy to your right. Kill him and explore the room he was standing in front
of. It has some weapons in it.
Keep going until you have to go down some stairs. Kill the guys down here and
head into the room at the end. You'll find a flamethrower. Head down the ladder
and the room will start to fill up with water. You'll need to cross over to
the other side. There's a ladder in the opposite corner. To get over there,
you'll have to use one of the platforms with guard rails around them in the
middle of the room. Use the furthrest one. You can use the pillars as cover,
since a guy pops up on the other side. Climb the ladder, clear this hallway
out, then go upstairs and take the two guys up here down. After a few
cutscenes, the game is over.
