Mission walkthrough

  1. Photograph the police-station meeting

    Go to Washington Beach police station and use the indicated vantage point. Frame Martinez and the DEA agent with the camera and take the requested picture before they leave. Stay back: approaching too closely can reveal the surveillance.

  2. Follow without crowding

    Once the photo is accepted, follow their car. Keep it visible on the radar while leaving enough distance to avoid suspicion. Match the route through turns rather than trying to ram past or stop the target vehicle.

  3. Take the later photograph

    At the next viewing position, use zoom to obtain the requested close-up of Martinez. Wait for the game to accept the shot instead of assuming every photograph counts. If it is rejected, adjust framing from the safe viewpoint rather than walking directly up to him.

  4. Collect and deliver the ID

    Return to Lance’s apartment for Forbes’s DEA identification, then drive to the Print Works. Complete the handover marker to finish the evidence fabrication. The surveillance photographs are only the first part of the job.

Key point

Use camera zoom for close-ups. A close-up image does not require Vic to stand physically close to Martinez.
