  3. Go to the station cells.
  4. Use the computer or an explosive to open the door.

Dispatch I walkthrough

Drive to Mission Row

Martin warns you the station is on lockdown, so expect a hard fight. Take the fastest car you have and head down out of the hills toward Downtown. The route takes you through Alta and past the Del Perro Freeway before you reach Mission Row. Stop short of the main steps so you can plan your entry, and have your weapon ready before you leave the car.

Enter the station

Martin mentions a quiet rooftop entrance, but the front is the quicker way in. Officers wait behind the glass doors of the lobby. Stay beside the wall and take the guards down through the windows before stepping inside. With a partner, one of you can cover the doors while the other advances to the desk.

Open the cell block

Follow the arrows through the lobby and down the stairs to the cells. The door to the cell corridor is locked. Find the computer in the side room and use it to open the door, or blow the door with an explosive. Officers in the corridor shoot from both ends, so clear them before you move to the last cell and take out the target.

Escape and lose the cops

Once the target is down you have a wanted level and the building is crawling with officers. Fight back up through the station and head for the roof access door. A Police Maverick sits on the helipad and flies you out far faster than any car. Fly away from the city, set down somewhere quiet and wait out the wanted level until it clears.
