Blue Force Hints

How can I deal with Brad Green?

  • 1 of 24: He refuses to open the door or confront you.
  • 2 of 24: You can try loading and firing your gun.
  • 3 of 24: But that doesn't seem to help.
  • 4 of 24: Look around the yacht.
  • 5 of 24: There's a fresh air vent and ventilation louvers.
  • 6 of 24: Maybe the vent could help.
  • 7 of 24: You can't seem to do anything with it.
  • 8 of 24: Perhaps you could smoke Brad out.
  • 9 of 24: You have a pile of rags and a half empty jar of diesel fuel.  (If you missed them, it's not too late to jump into the boat and collect them now.)
  • 10 of 24: Chuck them into the air vent.
  • 11 of 24: But you'll need something with which to ignite them.
  • 12 of 24: There's a small locker at the side of the cabin.
  • 13 of 24: It's locked.

  • 18 of 24: Open the locker.
  • 19 of 24: Get the emergency flare.
  • 20 of 24: Throw that into the air vent ... smoke! ... fire!
  • 21 of 24: Brad emerges holding a live hand grenade.
  • 22 of 24: Talk to him and get an earful of more foul language.
  • 23 of 24: Cuff him.
  • 24 of 24: Search him (and the pin is back in the hand grenade).
