Chan’s idea

Chan tells Huang that a reporter called Melanie is making a documentary about the drug trade from the Triads’ side, and he wants Huang to take part. Huang thinks it is a bad idea, but Chan promises faces will be blurred and names left out. His job for now is to pick up her TV van from the compound in Hove Beach, where it was impounded for a parking violation.

The dock compound

Drive to the dock compound and take out the security guard at the gate. Inside, climb into the crane. Help text explains the controls, which swing the crane around and lower and raise the hook. Move the hook above a container, lower it and press to pick it up. The guard is alone, so a few shots or a quick melee finish is enough before you head for the crane.

Search the containers

Lift a container and put it down on the clear space, then walk over to open it. The first one hides body armor and no van. Put it back and try again. The second holds illegal immigrants locked in for a week, so be ready to fight when you open it. A third hold only a stash of magazines. The van is in the final container, so keep sorting until you find it.

Drive it home

Get in the van and drive to Melanie’s place in BOABO. Armed security show up and will shoot at the van, so drive out fast and avoid damage. The van must not be destroyed or the mission fails. Pull the van into the garage at her address to finish and meet Melanie.
