LA Noire: Reefer Madness is a DLC (Downloadable Content) for LA Noire, that is
listed as a Vice case. It can be played during the story after The Black
Caesar, but if you already finished the story or it didn�t start, you can
access this case from the Cases option on the Main Menu when you start up the
game.

This walkthrough will get you through the case with all the clues and
interviews perfectly, getting you 5 stars. There�s an achievement you will miss
out on when going for 5 stars, but this is covered in more detail at the bottom
of this section.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.0 CASE BRIEFING
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Freddie Calhoun, a drug addict, is willing to reveal information about a huge
marijuana operation to the police... for fifty dollars. Despite doubt in the
usefulness of his information, Roy and Phelps decide to talk to him.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.1 POLICE STATION
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After the briefing, head downstairs out of the police station and outside.
Enter the car and set a course for Lyman�s Bar on Hollywood Blvd., where you
are to meet up with Freddie.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2 MIKE LYMAN�S BAR
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once you arrive, enter the bar and approach the bartender. As you get close,
Roy points Freddie out in the back. Follow Roy and talk with Freddie.

After an informative exchange of dialog (and a foreshadow of the dangers
ahead), head back to the police car and drive to Cruz�s Residence to the
southwest.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3 JUAN GARCIA CRUZ�S HOUSE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|=========================\
|CLUE CHECKLIST:           \
|[ ] = �Masangkay�          \
|[ ] = Juan�s Silver Dollar  \
|[ ] = Soup Cans              \
|[ ] = Tijuana Dope Shipments  \
|===============================\

Be very careful here! If you stay in one spot for too long, the bullets will
chip a bit of the wall away and possibly hit you. Also, whatever you do, do not
get out of cover while behind the wall, or you will instantly die.

With the warning out of the way, stay in cover and head right. Switch cover
positions and continue right until you reach the end of the wall next to a car.
Now, make sure you are fully healed before this next part, or you might die.
Get out of cover and RUN behind the car and get in cover next to it. Once you
move along the side of the car to the back, you are safe for awhile. Get out of
cover and run to the backyard of the house. Head to the back door of the house
and kick it open. Head through the rooms until you are in the kitchen. Hurry up
and get in cover next to the doorway, as one of the gunmen will rush you.
Quickly shoot him down before he can kill you. Once he�s dead, get out of
cover, and very, very slowly walk through the doorway with your gun pointed in
the hallway to the left. You should be able to eventually he the second
gunman�s arm. Start shooting it, and he should fall soon after.

After that intense action sequence, it�s time to begin looking for clues! Start
out by looking on the boxes next to the dead body to find a notepad with the
name �Masangkay� on it, adding the clue �MASANGKAY�. This clue doesn�t vibrate,
so I missed it first play through. Next, start examining the dead gunman (Juan
Garcia Cruz) right in front of you. Look in his right coat pocket for his
license, which updates his information. Look in his left coat pocket for the
GUNMAN�S (Juan�s) SILVER DOLLAR clue!

End the body examination, and head down the hall the second gunman was in and
take a left into the bedroom. Examine the boxes at the back against the broken
bed to find a newspaper, which adds the 20TH CENTURY MARKET location. Also, step
back and examine the boxes themselves to add the PARNELL�S SOUP COMPANY (?)
location. These are all the clues inside the house. You can open the brown book
on the kitchen counter to see some pretty good drawings, but they aren�t a
clue.

Now, from now until you finish investigating this area, keep an eye out for the
phone icon, and go to it immediately when it appears. This is because I�ve had
some trouble where the icon doesn�t show, so it�s best to finish the call ASAP
when it does show. This updates the address on Parnell�s Soup Company.

Head outside the house the same way you got in during the action sequence, and
head to the shed in the backyard. Enter and examine the shelf to the left with
4 cans on it. Open the right closed can for a funny surprise, and then try to
open the left closed can to open a secret area of the shed! Before continuing
with the peek in the secret area, go back into the house and use the phone in
the living room to call KGPL to get an updated address on Parnell�s Soup
Company. In the secret area, approach the can opener to use it to open the left
can of soup. Inside you find, surprisingly, soup... err, marijuana. This adds
the SOUP CANS clue! Next open the right soup can to find more marijuana.

Next, head to the desk with the blue delivery ledger in this secret area. Open
it and tap any of the �Tijuana� names, adding the TIGUANA DOPE SHIPMENTS clue.
These are all the clues. Head back to your car and head to Parnell�s Soup Co.
Factory.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.4 PARNELL�S SOUP COMPANY FACTORY
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|===========================\
|CLUE CHECKLIST:             \
|[ ] = Sergio�s Silver Dollar \
|==============================\

Enter the factory and talk to the receptionist. Follow her up the stairs and
into the owner�s office. After Roy�s pleasant greeting and exchange, open the
employee records and tap on the name �Jorge Garcia Cruz�, adding him as a POI.
Now, you interview Howard Parnell!

========================================================
INTERVIEW: HOWARD PARNELL
========================================================
QUESTION: Factory sealed soup cans
ANSWER: He has a very fake, innocent reply when you ask him about the cans, but
no real tells other than this. However, you have no real proof to connect him
with it, so say DOUBT.

QUESTION: Parnell�s Soup Company
ANSWER: His answer�s uneasy, and his facial expression afterwards confirms his
nerves. Select DOUBT.

QUESTION: Knowledge of Cruz Brothers
ANSWER: While there are no big tells, the likelihood that he�d not know the
brother of one of the workers and their operation is extremely unlikely, so
select DOUBT.

QUESTION: Inside man Jorge Garcia (unlocked after Knowledge of Cruz Brothers)
ANSWER: His answer�s reasonable and believable, and there are no signs of real
discomfort, so select TRUTH.
========================================================

Time to begin the searching! Follow Parnell out of his office, down the hall,
and into the main factory area. Follow Parnell and listen to his tour of the
place. Once you reach the Packaging and Distribution area, you meet Sergio, who
becomes a POI. Head to the blue book and tap on any of the �20th Century Market�
names. Talk to Sergio to get the SERGIO�S SILVER DOLLAR clue! Interesting...
Now, another interview commences with him.

========================================================
INTERVIEW: SERGIO ROJAS
========================================================
QUESTION: Factory sealed soup cans
ANSWER: He looks away from you and gives a very curious look after he answers,
so it�s obviously DOUBT.

QUESTION: 20TH CENTURY MARKET
ANSWER: He denies knowing Juan, but remember the fact they both happened to
have the exact same silver dollar, so select LIE, and then JUAN�S SILVER
DOLLAR.
========================================================

Leave the factory and head back to your car, and then set a destination for 20th
Century Market.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.5 20TH CENTURY MARKET
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|===============================\
|CLUE CHECKLIST:                 \
|[ ] = Shopkeeper�s Silver Dollar \
|==================================\

Watch the cut scene, and afterwards chase down the Grocery Clerk. This is an
extremely easy chase. Just follow him until you go outside, and then tap A to
sprint and tackle him in the parking lot.

You see the clerk show you a little bit of marijuana, and after an emptying of
his pockets, you find the SHOPKEEPER�S SILVER DOLLAR clue, linking him with
Juan and Sergio! He will also show his identification, so his name gets
revealed as Airto Sanchez. Following this is an interview with him.

========================================================
INTERVIEW: AIRTO SANCHEZ
========================================================
QUESTION: Knowledge of �E.J.�
ANSWER: He plays as innocent, but the fact that he has a silver dollar like the
others says otherwise. Select LIE, then SERGIO�S SILVER DOLLAR.

QUESTION: Parnell�s Soup shipments
ANSWER: His smug expression and looking away lead to DOUBT being the right
choice, as there�s no proof pinning him with knowledge of the soup cans.

QUESTION: Juan and Jorge Cruz
ANSWER: It sounds reasonable, and he doesn�t look away. Select TRUTH.
========================================================

Following this is a cut scene moving you to...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.6 PARNELL�S SOUP COMPANY FACTORY (SECOND VISIT)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|============================\
|CLUE CHECKLIST:              \
|[ ] = Ernesto�s Silver Dollar \
|[ ] = Boxed marijuana shipment \
|[ ] = Jorge�s Silver Dollar     \
|=================================\

Run into the factory, smash open the doors the two police officers are
surrounding on the bottom floor, and charge into cover inside the main factory
area. Shoot down all the people inside. Going along the right side to the back
area�s good for easier accuracy.

Once everyone�s down, follow the cop into the room, and investigate the dead
body. Look in his shirt pocket for his identification (and also the address of
the Tijuana delivery area). Next, look in his left hand for, wait for it, the
GUNMAN�S (Ernesto�s) SILVER DOLLAR clue!

Leave the body and the room, and approach the boxes straight ahead of the door
as you leave (next to Roy) and examine them to find a lot of marijuana as the
BOXED MARIJUANA SHIPMENT clue.

Run to the complete opposite end of the main factory area to the staircase next
to the dumpsters, and take it up to the above floor. Walk forward to the dead
body and examine it. Look in his left hand for a huge wad of cash. Next, look
in his shirt pocket for ANOTHER silver dollar (JORGE�S SILVER DOLLAR)! After
this and the following cut scene, examine the table to be brought up to the 5
coins.

The minor puzzle here involves moving the coins around until they are in
alphabetical order based on the black ink printing on each coin. From left to
right, it should read:

MAS ANG KAY MET ALS

This is Masangkay Metals! The address is handed over, so leave the factory and
head to Masangkay Metals.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.7 MASANGKAY METALS WAREHOUSE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Facing the gate, run right all the way to the intersection, and turn left while
still staying on the sidewalk you are on. Follow it until you find an alley to
your left. Enter the alley and run down it until you see a pipe on the left
brick wall. Climb the pipe to the top and run across the roof northwest towards
your car. You should see another pipe on the edge of the roof. Take it down to
be on the other side of the fence. Run around the building until you reach the
back area, and Phelps pulls his gun out. You know what this means...

Go through the opening in the back to enter the warehouse, and run for cover
behind the flatbed. Take out all the gunmen and continue straight ahead to the
other end. Go through the doorway and up the stairs. Go straight to the door in
front of you and kick it open. Go inside and carefully shoot the gunman in the
other room across from you. Continue out the other side and kill another
gunman. Run forward and kill the third gunman in the room by the stairs. Go up
these and take down the three gunmen up here. Follow Roy to the door and bust
it open with your foot.

Enjoy the ending cut scene. Case closed!

If you want the Achievement �High Flyer�, you must go from Juan�s house
straight to the 20th Century Market, but this lowers your star rating since you
skip part of the case, so I didn�t include it in the main walkthrough.
