- Walkthrough
Your first task here, as Bentley, is to learn how to use Bentley's bombs. A crate is placed ahead of you. Follow the instructions and place a bomb on it using
. After that, run away quickly before the bomb goes off.
The second part of the tutorial involves taking out guards with bombs. Follow the instructions again and run to the snoozing guard and bomb him. Next, you'll need to pull out the binocucom and put him to sleep using Bentley's sleep darts. Don't kill the guard while he's awake. Press
to pull up the binocucom. Press and hold the button to zoom in or out. Press
to fire a dart. Then, go up to the guard and bomb him. Third, you will now need to take a moving guard. First, put him to sleep with the dart, then bomb him.
For the third part, you will learn Bentley's way of pickpocketing guards, which is the PPP (short for Pick Pocket Pole), which is linked to
by default. Use this gadget on the guard in front of you. Don't either discover or kill the guard while pickpocketing him. Just hold down that button to pull out the pole, and when close enough, it will attach to the loot in the guard's pocket, allowing you to pull back and yank the loot out.

For the next part, you will be learning Murray's interaction with guards. The first thing you must do is walk up to the flashlight guard ahead and knock him out with a simple punch, and then stomp to pick him up. Once above your head, press
to throw him into the next pillar.
For the next part, you will learn another way Murray can knock guards out - throwing things at them. Pick up a rock with Murray's stomp move and hurl it at the guard to knock him unconscious, then head up to him, pick him up and toss him at the pillar.
The next part involves Murray's unique pickpocketing technique. Since Murray doesn't have the agility or technology to pick people's pockets, he can use his mighty strength to mug his foes.

The August 2005 build also has the player complete the “Interacting With Guards” job to unlock "An Opera of Fear." However, in the final version of the game, the “Interacting With Guards” job won’t be unlocked in the Hazard Room until the player finishes "Police HQ."
