Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the first floor, punch the dog that immediately appears and keep punching upward to take out two melee (close-range combat) sentries.
  2. 2
    Aim left and punch the dog who rushes in from the west.
  3. 3
    Head east and wait for one of the patrols to be at the door. Door slam him and kill the other guy.
  4. 4
    Wait for the two guys in the south-east room to be close and take them out with a melee weapon.
  5. 5
    For the final guys in the west, kill the two melee guys in the south room.
  6. 6
    Next, target the guy in the far north. Open the door and throw a weapon at the north guy as you walk over and punch the south guy. Kill them off to complete the stage.
  7. 7
    On the second floor, stay on the right side as much as possible.
  8. 8
    Knock out the three guys near you, then use the knife to kill the guy at the east end of the hall.
  9. 9
    Grab the shotgun and use it to shoot through the glass toward the guy in the far north.
  10. 10
    Kill as many others as you can with one shot.
  11. 11
    Back away in the right area and kill others who venture near you.
  12. 12
    If you've killed any wanderers, your only choice is to go to the east and kill one or two more guys inside the south-west room with a gun.
  13. 13
    If you see a red laser appear in windows and SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) guys, it's time to go.
  14. 14
    The first floor return will have a few SWAT guys; although you can't kill them, you can knock them down.
  15. 15
    Fight your way through the south-east room and get to the car to escape.

PUZZLE PIECE: The "L" shaped piece is located in the north hallway of the second floor.
