Dispatch Call ScriptEdit

Cole Phelps: Car 11K, we'll handle the outstanding suspect.

Dispatch: Roger, 11K. See the detective, a possible 484 at Sunset and Ivar, bookmakers. 11 King, Code Two.

Cole Phelps: Always time for a visit to the bookmakers. Isn't that what you keep telling me, Roy?

WalkthroughEdit

After the cutscene introducing the crime, walk into the bar and go incognito at the table to your left or the payphone on your right. Your target will walk in and talk to the man at the counter. Once he leaves, you have to get up and follow him. This also presents you with a chance for The Shadow. Your target will stop and check behind him so be sure to have cover until you see him turn a corner to be safe. Once he is behind some buildings and you catch up, a cutscene will show his boss getting out of a car. When you tell them to surrender, they pull out their weapons and start to attack. You then must kill the two men.

NoteEdit

• This is the only street crime where you need to tail the suspect.
• You can work with Harold Caldwell in this street crime.
