Objectives

Create a distraction. To survive the trek through Dumas Industrial Enterprises, you must avoid cameras, guards, and workers. Not an easy task! Grab the intelligence item off the receptionist's desk and walk into the hall behind the desk. Go left and into the cafeteria. Go through the cafeteria into the hallway to the right. There is a guard patrolling out here, but by the time you get there, he is probably already down an adjacent hall.

Before going into the men's restroom straight across from your position, turn right and right again down the hallway you were just in. There is an intelligence item on the first desk on the left, though you must be quick to avoid detection by the camera. Enter the men's bathroom and pull out the cigarette lighter. Use it on the trash in the wastebasket and a new objective appears.

Objective: Find the security office and disable the alarm system. Exit the men's restroom through the hanging plywood in the rear. There is a guard patrolling this section; hide behind the lumber (and snag the intelligence item) to avoid him. Go around to the left and locate the door along the wall. Enter and run forward into the open room. Pull the lever inside to disable the alarm system (and the cameras).

Objective: Locate Baron Dumas' private office. Exit and search the nearby offices for intelligence items. Be careful to avoid the two workers engaged in conversation. You will find Dumas' office the last one in the hall on the left. Enter inside and use the pens on the desk to reveal a secret passage behind the bookcase. Enter the revealed passage and use the lever inside to reveal a hidden staircase. Ascend the staircase.

Objective

Search for evidence linking the baron to H.A.R.M. Open the concrete door ahead and go up the staircase. Follow the narrow hallway to two guards discussing the Beatles. Hide in the alcove just before the hall exit. Wait until one of the guards passes by, then exit into the hall and to the left into the large room. Hug the left wall and locate the switch next to the power box. Pull the switch to open the central room. Drop into the circular office. Grab the intelligence item and the remote control. Using the remote control reveals a small warehouse blueprint of sorts. You have the evidence - now return back to Tom.

Objective

Return to the front desk. Exit the door with the control panel to its right. Exit the curtain ahead. Descend the stairs back into Dumas' first office. Exit and go straight down the hall to the receptionist's desk. You will pass by a conference room on the left - it contains two scientists. There is an intelligence item inside. To get it, leap onto the desk and crouch-walk to the item. Avoid detection by not bumping into either scientist.

The scene ends when you reach Tom in the receptionist's area. You return with information and make an appointment to meet Baron Dumas around 11:00 a.m. on Friday.

Walkthrough

If you cannot sneak, this level will be very hard for you, especially if you want to get all of the items. You must sneak and are not allowed to kill anyone.

Get the ENVELOPE on the table. Sneak up to the doorway and listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION. Head left and listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION. Then turn around and dash right, past the camera and into the office on the right. There should be 2 scientists looking at an overhead projector. If you are feeling lucky, jump up onto the table and sneak forward to get the FOLDER on the table there. Otherwise, just go back out into the hall and into the office at the end of the hall.

Run in and shut the door. Listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION. This is the Baron's office. you return here in a few moments. Wait until the conversation is over and the manager leaves the area.

Quickly dash around the corner to the open office in the right. If you feel lucky, dash back out the way you came and open the office door right ahead of you, sort of on the left side. Inside is an ENVELOPE.

In any case, open the door next to the open office and go in. Take the ENVELOPE on the table. Return to the open office and set the trash on fire with your lighter and run as fast as you can into the office that you were just in. A security guy should come out from across the hall and run into that office to put out the fire. This will give you the opportunity to run into the room he was just in, the security office, and pull the lever there. This shuts off security.

Now you can make your way back to the Baron's office at your leisure. You can, of course, head down to the next door on the hall, which is under construction, and grab the blueprints in there, but there's a guard in there that you need to avoid.

Once you have returned to the Baron's office, close the door and 'use' the pen holder on the desk. The bookshelf lowers and you can go into the next room. Pull the lever and go up the stairs. Use the porthole door and go up the stairs and around the corner, onto the roof. Go into the alcove on the left and listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION. Then wait for the guard to pass the alcove and turn around. Then dash out after him and to the left. Go along the left wall and you will see a lever attached to an electrical box. Pull it and jump down into the office.

you will see a radio-control device with an antenna on a small table nearby. Hit it and grab the MICROFILM on the table next to it. Then head for the wood-and-glass door. 'Use' the gray control box next to the door and go down the hall through the wood double doors, and then back down the stairs. Close everything you opened, and head back to Goodman. End level.

Walkthrough Amendment

After using the pen holder, the book case moves to reveal another room. You enter the room, hit the switch and go up the ladder. At the top is a door with three circular windows. Passing through the door you enter a rooftop patio. To the right is a gray door. Behind the gray door is a room with an elevator. The elevator does not work.

After hitting the switch in the security office, you are safe from all the security cameras. Ignore the noise that the cameras are making. Although they sound like they are operating normally, they are not.

The model that pops up in Dumas's penhouse office appears to be the warehouse area in Scene 2.

Go through the opened gates and through the door on the left. Listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION there. Go through the next door in this room and up the ramp. At the top of the ramp is an open road with two guards. You must get them both before they sound the alarm. Go for the one on the far right first, as the one on the near right is not facing you.

Go into the wood door on the left, at the left end of this road section. Sneak into the steaming room and listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION. Sneak back and wait for the guy to leave for his office. Shoot him in the head as he leaves. Then get his buddy with the AK between the machinery and the flaming machinery.

Go in the gray door with the window, on your left. it is locked with a padlock, so you will have to pick it; shooting it off will make noise, which will alert the guards and cause them to raise the alarm, and you will fail the mission.

Go up the stairs, and shoot the guy on the right in the head. Climb the ladder and head left to hear a FUNNY CONVERSATION. Wait for one of the guys to leave and then the other guy will come through the door you are looking at. Presumably, you will shoot him in the head real fast, and he will not make much noise.

Head right along the tracks and then left to the locked door. Pick it. Go in, open the door on the right, and jump up on the crates by going to the smaller ones in the back.

Go into the courtyard, turn left, and go in the wood door at the top of the short stairway. Get the ENVELOPE on the table here. Listen to the FUNNY CONVERSATION by the doorway.

The guards are on the other side of a long fence, which you must get around if you intend to kill them. However, you do have a minimal amount of cover in the form of some large fuel containers. What you can do is wait at the doorway you are with the hampton on zoom and after a few moments one of the guards will come around to your side of the fence You can get him, and then sneak up on the other one by going around the fence when he is not looking.

Climb up the ladder on the other side of the fence and head along the walkway. you will come to a hall with a red door on it. Wait for the guard to come near you and wax him. Then go into the room with the red door. There should be armor behind the door. Go further down the hall and you will note a door that must be opened with a codebreaker. Go into the office behind the glass and photograph the LEDGER #3 there. There should be armor in his office, and/or in the office with the camera.
