[INT!] Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L.A. Noire is similar to Rockstar's other open-world games (such as Red Dead
Redemption or Grand Theft Auto), but it introduces some very unique differences
that (in my opinion) completely set it apart from its predecessors. The first
and most obvious difference are the amazing facial animations used to bring the
characters to life. This is the first game in which this new technology has
been used, and I can tell it will change the way games are experienced. The
second difference is the detective interview system; using the facial
animation technology, this is the first game that effectively employs a way to
tell if an interviewee is lying.
This document is a walkthrough guide to beating the DLC Case "A Slip of the
Tongue" in L.A. Noire with a five-star rating; it is equally applicable to all
the major release versions of the DLC, which include the Playstation 3 and Xbox
360 versions. In this guide I will provide you with a step-by-step guide to
finding all of the clues, what you need to do, and where you need to go. I also
offer strategies and tactics for getting through certain action sequences of
the case, as well as give you all the answers for the interviews.
Also included with this guide are links to video guides (all video guides were
made by me), which will help you to visually connect with the information in
this written guide. A good way to make the most out of this written guide and
the video guides is to have one browser tab open for the written guide and
another browser tab open for the selected video guide. Doing that will allow
you to keep the written guide open and then copy and paste the link to the
video guide in the second browser tab. If you happen to use two monitors with
your computer, you can also have two browser windows open on each monitor,
which will allow you to view both the written guide and the video guide at the
same time. Technology is great isn't it?
Thank you for checking this guide out and I hope that it helps you.

[STO!] Story Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are Cole Phelps, an up-and-coming police officer who is destined for great
things. The setting is the city of Los Angeles; the year is 1947, just a few
years after World War II. After serving as an officer in the war, Cole Phelps
is ready to get on with his life and leave his past behind him. Little does he
know, the future will put him in situations that bring his past right back to
the forefront, mixing his past life with his new life.
Join with Phelps as he meets many new faces, most of which are friendly. Some
are not so friendly though; many more are several shades of gray. As you solve
cases and begin to gain an understanding of the Los Angeles area and its
various factions, you soon realize that everything is not as it seems. There
are conspiracies, intricate plots, and instances of corruption a plenty. Along
with the help of some colorful company, you will need to solve them all.
The DLC Case "A Slip of the Tongue" takes place in the second half of Cole
Phelps' time at the Traffic desk.

[Slip] DLC Case: A Slip of the Tongue (Traffic Case)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-=- Obj 1: Investigate Stolen Vehicle Report
1. Exit the police station and drive to the crime scene.
-=- Obj 2: Apprehend fleeing suspect
1. Right as you arrive, you see a suspect leaving in the stolen vehicle. A
vehicle chase scene starts.
2. If you've played some of the cases later in the game (i.e. after the traffic
cases), then you'll have an easy time with this chase. It's a typical chase
through the city streets; your partner will not fire at the suspect's tires
though, which means you'll have to disable the vehicle yourself.
3. The easiest way to disable the green car is to ram the engine as it makes a
turn. The green car isn't very sporty, so it takes wide turns; this gives you
the perfect opportunity to ram its engine from the side.

1. After the vehicle chase ends, you question Cliff.

your partner. There are a couple more enemies up here, who will rush behind
cover. After they are gone, head to the door at the far side.
