The Crook walkthrough

Answer the payphone

Marty’s jobs come through a payphone on the street outside his factory in Trenton. It only rings between 9am and 7pm. Walk up to it when it rings. Marty introduces himself: he runs the Bitch’n’ Dog Food factory around the corner, and his bank manager is a crooked man who keeps raising the repayments so he can take a cut.

Pick up the bank manager

Marty’s red Perennial is parked in the factory yard. Take it and drive to the Bank of Liberty in Chinatown, marked on the radar. The manager is waiting outside and gets in, cheerfully saying Mr Chonks sent you, so let’s go and pay the fellow a visit.

Bring him to Marty

Drive back to the factory and stop in the marker by the loading bay. The manager walks inside, and it is clear he will not be coming out. Marty’s voice tells you to take the car to the crusher and get rid of the evidence.

Crush the car

The Harwood Autocrusher is the junkyard at the north end of Portland. Drive into the marked area under the crane, get out when told, and walk away. The crane lifts the car into the crusher, and when it is crushed the mission is passed. You can wander off while it happens.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • The bank manager dies
  • Marty’s Perennial is destroyed before it reaches the crusher

After the mission

Marty pays $1,000. The payphone rings again with his next job, The Thieves. All four of Marty’s jobs come from the same phone.
