Brief[edit]

Kenji requests that Claude break a yakuza kanbu out of the Staunton Island Police Station and take him to the dojo in Bedford Point.

Walkthrough[edit]

Your first order of business is steal a police cruiser, as you won't be able to get near the back door of the police station without one. The easiest way to do this is to locate a cruiser on the streets somewhere, and then collide with it (gently; you don't want to seriously damage it). Then exit your vehicle. When the officer exits his cruiser to pursue you, get in his vehicle and get away fast; if he manages to open the cruiser door, or if you don't get in quick enough, you'll be Busted and fail the mission.

Once you've secured a cruiser, head over to 8-Ball's garage and have a bomb planted inside. Then follow the map to the police station. (Make sure your wanted level is completely clear before attempting the next phase of the mission.)

Drive through the gate (which opens only for police vehicles) and around the back of the building. Before driving into the blue corona, note the heavy-duty police truck parked to the side. Position that truck so it's pointed towards the gate, but close enough to the blue corona so you can immediately hop into it. (NOTE: this last part can be completed with one of the other cruisers parked nearby instead of the truck, but it's more difficult.)

Drive into the blue corona, detonate the bomb and run towards the police truck, but don't get in yet. A gaping hole will be blown in the side of the building and the kanbu will run out and follow you. Make sure he's near you when you get into the truck, otherwise he won't follow you. Then cruise out through the gate and into the area beneath the police station.

The explosion automatically gives you a three-star wanted level; however, under the station you'll find a Police Bribe that will knock it down to two. After that it's simple; evade the police and find two more bribes somewhere in the city. With the heavy truck, the pursuing cruisers will bounce off of you for the most part. Just be sure not to flip the truck or fall off a bridge. Once your alert status is clear, drive the kanbu to the dojo (it will be marked on the map) and into the blue corona, ending the mission as he leaves and enters the dojo... but not he before insults you in Japanese.
