The Sugarbomber is still on the loose, and I'm the only one who can stop him.
"I made mayor Covet an offer - I'll catch the Sugarbomber if he reinstates Lucy Gordon. He said "yes"."
Solution[]
Alphonse Covet: To what do I owe the honor, detective? I thought you're done with me and my way of doing things.
Detective: Look, I know we had our disagreements. But the Sugarbomber is still on the loose and the police can't find him.
Alphonse Covet: Hmmm, yes. I think we can put behind our differences. I'll pay you the usual rate.
Detective: I'm not interested only in money. I want you to pull some strings and reinstate Lucy Gordon.
Alphonse Covet: I assume your interest in officer Gordon isn't a just a wide rumor, then. Fine, I'll reinstate her if you manage to catch the assassin.
Alphonse Covet: Your loyalty is astounding.. Fine, I'll reinstate Gordon if you manage to catch the assassin.

Detective: Great. It's you. Are you going to try to scare me off again?
Leonardo McLean: No. I'm sorry. I tried to warn you about the trap. And I want to help you this time, I swear.
Detective: Then start talking about your connection with Malone.
Leonardo McLean: It's true, I work for him. But it's all a part of my plan. I need to get close to Malone if I want to fight him.
Detective: Fight him? Why?
Leonardo McLean: Can't you see? He's turning the city into his personal crime empire. If he succeeds, he'll get rid of the likes like you or me.
Detective: So he's behind the assasination attempt?
Leonardo McLean: I don't know. Malone and the Sugarbomber were talking on the phone while I was listening. Malone was angry. I think the Sugarbomber will try to skip town.
Detective: Well, there's only one way to find out if you're telling the truth.Detective: Don't even try to stop me Leo. I'm in no mood for a fight.
Leonardo McLean: I'm sorry, about the other time, dear. I tried to warn you about the trap, and I'm here to help you!
Detective: Does your boss, Tony Malone, approve?
Leonardo McLean: It's true, I work for him. But it's all a part of my plan. I need to get close to Malone if I want to fight him.
Detective: So you haven't join the dark side?
Leonardo McLean: Can't you see? He's turning the city into his personal crime empire. If he succeeds, he'll get rid of the likes like you or me.
Detective: So he's behind the assasination attempt?
Leonardo McLean: I don't know. Malone and the Sugarbomber were talking on the phone while I was listening. Malone was angry. I think the Sugarbomber will try to skip town.
Detective: Thank you Leo, I'll call you as soon as I close this case!City search: Evacuation plan[]
Detective: If the Sugarbomber is trying to run, this is the place to look for him. But how is he going to do it? By train, by bus, by plane, by ship? So many options...

If you win:
Detective: Bingo. This is his plane!
Crime scene search: A Long Flight[]
Detective: The plane is almost ready to take off. I need to find the Sugarbomber's seat, and fast!
If you fail:
Detective: I've got no idea where the Sugarbomber is, and the plane will take off any second now. I need to get off!
If you win:
Detective: A suitcase full of cash. Well, well.
Gustavo von Rache: Excuse me, that's mine! Uhm...wait, you're that detective!
Detective: As someone once told me, too bad you figured out too late. Now get off the plane and come with me nicely.. or I'll give you another chance at 20 thousand feet.
Suspect identification: A Little Bag Full of Green[]
Detective: Start talking. Who hired you?
Gustavo von Rache: I was hired by an intermediary. I only talked with my employer once, in a dark alley. I barely saw their face. I'm telling the truth, really!
Detective: Give me the details, then. I won't give up so easily.

Solution: Perry J. Jameson
If you fail:
Detective: Oh, darn. The bomber really doesn't know who hired him. His mysterious employer might just want to hire another hitman instead!
If you win:
Detective: It's over, Jameson. The sugarbomber ratted you out. Now the only election you have a chance to win will be the "Prisoner of the year" contest.
Perry J. Jameson: Do you know what I can do to you?! I can destroy your reputation! If I end up behid bars, Pola Chapelle will release information about your ties with the mayor to the press.
Perry J. Jameson: How about it? Are you willing to sacrifice everything you've built around your name?
Detective: Yes, because that's a real, selfless sacrifice. You? You're only sacrificing other people. Like during the ship heist. Or your plan to assassinate Covet.
Perry J. Jameson: Oh, kid. Covet? He's even worse than me. But you'll discover that soon enough. Fine, throw me to the lions. I'll drag you with me.
Finale[]
If you fail:
Alphonse Covet: We had an arrangement, but you didn't fulfill your part. Maybe miss Gordon should start looking for a new job. I bet she'd make a better P.I. than you
Detective: Very funny, Covet. I swear, I'll find the Sugarbomber, no matter what!
If you win:
Lucy Gordon: I'm here to say thanks! It was my first day on the job after reinstatement. I know I wouldn't pass the disciplinary commission's review if it wasn't for your help.
Detective: That was nothing, really.
Lucy Gordon: Yeah, right. I saw the article in the Daily News. That hack wrote that you're the "mayor's lapdog". How could she!
Detective: I dunno. Maybe she had her reasons. Maybe Jameson used leverage against her. Or maybe she just hates my guts.
Lucy Gordon: You're right. Let's forget about it. Hey, I was wondering... You remember that jazz cafe close to your office? Well, there's...
Detective: Don't tell me. There's been a murder and you want me to take a look.
Lucy Gordon: No, no! There's a concert this evening. I'll just drop by my home to change into something more comfortable. So, what do you say?Lucy Gordon: You're right. Let's forget about it. Hey, I was wondering... would you like to go and grab a coffee?
Detective: I'd love to, but not tonight. I managed to get two tickets for a concert in a nearby jazz cafe, and I plan to have a great time.
Lucy Gordon: Two tickets? Well, well... Have fun, and say hello to Leo from me.
