LA Noire Walkthrough Part 13 - The Set Up

L.A. Noire – The Set Up

The case actually starts with a flashback to the war. After that, things start up with Roy and Cole start with slipping into a fight. The fight goes down differently that it was supposed to and that puts the other fighter in a lot of danger.

First thing is first, search the locker room some to find a newspaper behind you, on the bench closest to the door you came in. Time to search his locker, which is second from the board that you see. You'll get a few clues from the notepad but that's it. Head out of the locker room and you'll get a little cut scene. Now head toward the phone and call in the number you got. You'll get the address for the Hotel El Mar.

Hotel El Mar
Walk on in and talk to the guy behind the desk. While whomever this is won't use their real name, considering things about this place, why would Winston Churchill be here? You get the room 203 to search for your missing fighter. Head on over to the stairs and up to the second floor. It's the door on the right just in front of you. Head over to the dresser first to look at the movie ticket stub and the chocolate box. Now look to the left at the tipped over trash can to find another clue in the form of a Western Union telegram. Now, turn to your right and look at the newspaper on the table to the right of the dresser. Look at the bottom right of the newspaper to find your next clue. Now turn around and  check the table on the left-side of the bed. You'll find a sheet of paper with some numbers. That wraps up this area so it's time to investigate Candy.

Candy Edward's Apartment
Head over there and talk with the receptionist to find out her room number, 7. Once you get there, someone will come at you with their fist. Take him down and start searching the apartment. Start with the fellow you laid out. Search his breast pockets to find a notebook on the left, with names in it, and a switchblade on the right. Next look at the dresser. You will find a boat ticket you'll want to look at for a clue. Next check the picture of the boat for another clue, be sure to be thorough. Just after this, our stripper Candy should return. Time for some questions to get answered.

After you question her, you'll need to tail her. Done right you can get an achievement/trophy for this lengthy scene.

Bookmaker's Office (Thrifty Liquor)
Once you make it here, there is only really one thing to see. Head over to the phone and you'll see a blank notepad. Use your pencil to get the message from it by shading it all in. You get a drug store address so it's time to head there.

Bookmaker's Office (Examiner's Drug Store)
After the arrival cut scene, look nearby the phone in the store for a clue on the cab card. Call in the information then talk with the bookie there.

Ray's Bookmaker's
Once you get there you will need to tail the cab from the store to the bus station. Keep about 2-3 car lengths back to keep them in sight but not really rouse suspecsion.

Bus Depot
When you get there you need to stay incognito and watch Candy. You'll hear a gun shot after she goes into the restroom. Investigate once that happens. Check the revolver outside of the stall for a clue then the purse for another. The second is a movie theater ticket for the Egyptian Theater. Time to follow this lead.

Egyptian Theater
When you get there, things are with a cut scene but then pick up in terms of action. Keep walking in and you'll find yourself in a gun fight. Once this is all done, the case is wrapped up.
