At the start of the game you will be in Slayton's office. First thing
to do
is go to the desk. The intercom will begin buzzing at random
intervals.
Turn to the intercom, which is behind the desk, and switch it on. You
will
hear the secretary give you instructions before she leaves the office.
Jack
Slayton is missing and the answer to his disappearance may lie in the
cases
he was working on.
(Note: Once Secretary Premise is set to TRUE you can leave the office
through the office door or go to another location via the map.)
Open the right top desk drawer and get the rolodex key. Now use the
key and
open the rolodex. Flip the cards until the help telephone number comes
up. Go to the phone and pick up the receiver, you will hear the first
message from the Informant.
After hearing the first Informant massage open the center desk drawer
and
remove the coin purse. Now you will be able to call the Informant from
any
pay phone.
Open the middle right drawer and remove the flash light.
Open the desk return all the way (two pulls are required) to get the
combination to the wall safe (hidden behind the picture): open the
safe and

Winthrop Case
Slayton's Office
Read Winthrop file (right lower drawer of desk) and you learn that he
hired
Slayton to investigate the death of his prize race horse Pegasus
Leave the office and go to the Race Track.
Race Track:
At the Race Track go to the stable doors. Look away from the stable
doors
and down to find the muddy footprints. Now go find Pegasus stall door
and
discover that it is locked. A video of Eddie the Jockey tells you that
Pegasus was too healthy to die of natural causes and he gives you
permission to look in his stall.
Unlock Pegasus stall and enter. Turn on the light and look at the
close-up
of Pegasus feed schedule. Now look at the bulletin board and see the
close
up of Mannies business card, also look at the close-up of the
newspaper
article about Winthrop Mansion. Find the saddle and look down to find
the
syringe hidden in the hay. Hmmm?
Go to Winthrop Mansion.
Winthrop Mansion:
Look up immediately after entering through the gate and wait for the
upstairs light to turn off.
Enter the mansion through the window. Open the kitchen door to see a
video
of the staff discussing how Winthrop can't think straight since
Pegasus
death and he is having financial problems as a result.
Now find Winthrop's desk and discover several thank you letters from
various charities. Look in the left desk drawer to find an insurance
policy
on Pegasus. Find the prescription for Pegasus medicine on the desk. In
the
right desk drawer you will find Winthrop's contract with Pollock which
states that if Winthrop defaults everything goes to Pollock.

guard
telling you to "Scram"!

Enter the construction shack and find the guard sleeping. Look at the
second pair of boots from the left.
Locate Pollock's desk and read the survey letter saying that there are
vast
oil deposits here, but money is needed to develop them. Find the bank
letter on the desk denying Pollock a loan. Read the note telling us
that
Winthrop is backing out of the deal due to his being upset about
Pegasus'
death. Find the medicine vile hidden in Pollock's desk. Receive
Informant's
phone call that Pollock is coming ...
(Note: there are three different endings to this case depending on
your
actions here, they are listed as A, B and C)
A. Enter the closet and see video of Pollock discovering the missing
vial
of medicine and running away. Back at Slayton's office you will see a
newspaper headline about Pegasus Killer Escaping to U.K.
B. If after you receive the warning about Pollock coming you attempt
to
leave the shack without the gun Pollock will see you and the guard
will
shoot you. Back at Slayton's office you will see a newspaper headline
saying Detective found in Gutter.
(Note: depending on the difficulty level setting you will loose your
memory
of this case)
C. If after you receive the warning about Pollock you attempt to leave
the
shack with the gun Pollock will see you but you will win the shoot-out
with
the guard. Back at Slayton's office you will see a newspaper heading
saying
the same as in option A.

Nazis
from entering the vault, insert the paper clip into the gears.
