Episode 1: Back to School

With new partner, Khai Minh Dao, Nick Mendoza heads out on assignment to find Tyson Latchford. After a tour of a Miami neighborhood, Khai comes to a stop near the projects. No need to spook the locals, the detectives will hoof it from here.

Find Brix

Exit the vehicle and follow Khai through the old neighborhood. Once Brix is spotted across the street, approach the trio of men.

Freeze the suspect by holding down the Show Badge button as you train your taser on him. His friends flee the scene as Mendoza asks some questions.

Interrogate Brix

When instructed to do so, approach and cuff him. The detectives find out what they need through some quick questioning.

Get to the Projects

Continue down the sidewalk toward the Arcola Projects before spotting Tap’s crew to the right.

Avoid Detection

Follow Khai across the street, taking cover behind the wall alongside her. The way is blocked ahead, so follow the detective up the driveway and through the small gate.

Approach a bigger gate on the right and open it. Click the Sprint button to keep up with your partner, vaulting the fence when the prompt appears.

Run to the right and crouch through the busted fence. Continue behind Khai until you find a few of Tap’s guys. Crouch down, let the first pass, and then weave around the dumpster ahead. Move quietly, but quickly, to avoid detection. Alert Meters appear, but as long as you move silently, everything is fine.

To the right, a thug blocks the path. Aim further down the alley and tap the Throw Distraction button to toss a shell casing. Follow Detective Dao as she cuts through the apartments on the left.

Crouch as you near the courtyard ahead, as you spot two men to the right. They block the path and must be separated, so that they can be taken down one at a time.

Toss a shell casing to the left and the thug looks that way. Now you can sneak around to the right and get behind the other guy. Perform a melee attack when within range to quietly knock him out. Now approach the first guy and take him down in the same manner.

Interrogate Tap

Continue along the path until you find Tap, as his buddy ditches him.

Scan and Analyze Tap

As the detectives keep watch over Tap from a nearby rooftop, you are introduced to a valuable piece of equipment, the Scanner. Tap the Scanner button to equip the device.

Move the reticle onto Tap, standing next to a dumpster on the left, to tag him. This allows the detective to follow the suspect. Hold the Jump button to analyze him. A full analysis of a tagged person identifies suspects with warrants or high-value targets.

Follow Tap to Find Tyson

Once Tap enters the school, scan as many criminals as you can—inside and out. Look for the blue diamonds and simply move the reticle over each one.

After Tap and Tyson’s short conversation, two vehicles pull into the courtyard on the left. Scan the criminals inside each one.

Save Tyson

Follow Khai into the nearby roof access and run down the stairwell. Two thugs hide behind cover ahead. Flash your badge to cause them both to freeze. Keep them both frozen as you approach and cuff them. There is no way around it, the second guy goes after his gun and your partner takes him out.

Descend another set of stairs and approach the guy at the next doorway. He has a warrant, so quietly arresting him gives extra rewards. Flash the badge to freeze him and then cuff the criminal.

As you enter the courtyard, as long as the criminals were scanned, their positions should all be shown with chevrons. Quietly move to the far right, flash the badge at the lone thug, and cuff him.

Weave through the obstacles in the courtyard as you move toward the school entrance. Freeze the two guards and arrest them before entering the building.

There is only one guy in the first floor; approach his location just inside and handcuff the suspect. Meet up with your partner at the stairs on the left side of the school and move up to the next level, where four more guys hold out.

Take care of the lone criminal in the right room. Turn around and flip a shell casing across the hall to attract the attention of the nearby thug. Arrest him before quietly moving down the hallway into the central area.

Take cover behind the right wall and toss a shell into the room across the hall. Handcuff the guy who comes to investigate. Move into the classroom on the right and take down the final suspect.

Investigate the Room

Enter the room across the hall and equip the Scanner. Analyze the document on the nearby desk to log the first piece of evidence. Another document can be scanned on the right counter, next to the printer.

Interacting with the case on the table ahead gives you access to your Tactical Gear—in case you wish to make any changes.

Finally, move into the next room and analyze the trace on the table to complete The Hot Shot File. At this point, Khai opens a nearby door. Move inside and open the laptop.

Get to the Car

Return to the staircase and head downstairs. Three thugs chat at the hall intersection. Quietly, but quickly, walk toward them until all three are within range of a badge flash—indicated by the white exclamation points above their heads. Use it to freeze them until you can cuff each one.

Take cover behind the bookcase near the entrance and take note of the final three criminals’ positions. Use shell casings or your badge to take them down, as you move toward and enter the vehicle that is parked on the road to the right.

Once control is regained, knock on the door and then kick it open. When directed to do so, hold the left stick Up to apply pressure. At this point, you are only able to fire your handgun. Bad guys enter through the doorway and the windows. Quickly take them all down as they approach until the episode is complete.
