Police Quest II Solutions
-First revision (1/14/89)
We have released this document only to aid some people with the game.
I must tell you that this document is not complete and it lacks some
points, but I guess It will have to do until some other person writes
up the perfect solution for the game.
Ok, lets get on with the game. During the beginning of the game you
will have to open the glove compartment of your small compact. In the
glove compartment you will find a business card and a car registration.
Take this card and read the back of it, since here is were your locker
combination is located. After acquiring your business card you will
have to get your keys form the car and enter the Police building. After
entering the building, go to the counter on the right. There is a bin
behind the counter. After acquiring the kit you should go to your
locker.
Your locker is located right beside the sinks. Open your locker (your
combo is on the back of the business card). You take all your junk from
your locker, hand cuffs, guns, ammo, etc.
Go to the homicide office, which is the second room from the bottom of
the screen, it's on your left hand side. You enter the room and go to
the back of the room and read the bulletin board, and get your keys for
the unmarked patrol car. Just wait around now for the Captain to tell
you that Bains has escaped prison and all the details. You then go to
your desk which is in the center of the room, or the desk which isn't
occupied. You unlock your drawer and open it, you get your wallet and
the note. You then look inside your wallet to reveal your diving
certificate. After doing all this you have to get up now and go to the
captain's desk (the guy who is either eating ice cream or talking on the
telephone). There you can see a bunch of paper on the desk. You will
have to look at the paper to get the passwords for computer. Some time
during the game when you're at the office, use the computer. You will
get some points for this. After getting the passwords, go over to
filing cabinet and open the drawer to get the file on Jessie Bains.
After acquiring this file you must take the photo that is attached to
it. Put the file away and proceed to the firing range where you will
calibrate your gun.
You go up to the guy at the desk and show him your gun, he will
acknowledge you that you can pick any booth and hand you back you gun,
he will also remind you to get some ammo from him after your done.
After showing your gun you have to ask the guy for a set of ear
protectors.
Enter the firing range pick any booth that isn't occupied, load your
gun, wear your protectors, then press f8 and your arm should come up.
Aim for the target and then press f10. When aiming for the target try
to hit a pretty visible spot, for example the 0 of the 10 or the middle
or the head. After firing two to three shots press f8 again to lower
your gun, then press the view button and the target will come up to you.
Look at the target and see how much you missed it by then adjust your
sights accordingly. The instructions for the sight adjustments are
pretty simple. After adjusting your sight replace the target and press
the back button. The target will move back to the wall and you can
raise your gun and fire again. Keep doing this until you hit your
target pretty close to where you were aiming for. It will acknowledge
that your aim is on target when it rewards you with a few points. After
doing this you go back to the man at the desk give him back the
protectors and then get your new ammo.
Ok, you're done at the police station. Go outside and get into the blue
unmarked car. This car is right across from your car. Put the kit in
the trunk then unlock the car and You then enter your car and you
partner will come out of the police station telling you to wait for him.
After you have entered the car you type in the phrase "Drive to jail".
Your partner will notify the office that you are enrounte to the jail.
When you arrive at the jail your partner will take off on you (as
usual). You will have to open the locker in front of the jail and put
your gun inside it. After doing this you press the button that is
located beside the door. When the jailer asks who it is, show your id.
After entering the jail, go to the jailer and ask to see the file on
Jessie Bains. The guard will hand you the file and you take the more
recent photo of Bains. Also ask for file of jail guard (Pate). Ask
about Pate's car. That's all you do here. Leave the jail, get your
gun and go back and get in your. You're worthless partner will return.
He will do this throughout the game, he's a bit of an ass.
You then type Drive to Office. Again your partner will notify the
office of where you are going. While driving to the office you will be
notified that they have found the car of the prison guard that Bains
took as a hostage. You drive to the Mall, which is where the car was
found. All you do here is go to the sports car on the screen with your
field kit. Dust the glove box and use the tape to get fingerprint. ou
should get a print. Then open the glove box, take all the items in the
glove compartment. After closing the door use the camera and then wait
for the officer to come. He will introduce you to a woman who has had
her car stolen. You question the lady (type ask for description), and
she will tell you what type of car it is and stuff like that. After
talking to the lady, get back into your car, and drive back to the
office.
While driving to the office, you will be notified to go to Cotton Cove.
There you will find this jogger you question her and she will tell you
the location of the body of the prison guard. You should go back to
your car and get the kit. After doing this you go to the top of the
present screen and then go to the left. After entering the next screen
you should draw your gun since Bains will try to kill you in this
screen. When a man jumps out of the bushes he will fire a couple of
shots. Fire back to scare him off. After firing back he will take off
and a car will come by with Bains inside. If Bains kills you it's
probably because you don't have your gun sighted right and you have to
go through the firing range procedures all over again. Assuming you've
chased him off, chase after him. Here you will find a drag mark of
blood, In this screen you will also find a garbage can search the
garbage can and you'll find some clothes with blood on it. Look at the
name tag on the clothes. You then go to the blood drag marks and use
your kit. You can get blood, take a picture and get the foot print.
After doing all this return to your patrol car.
The diving team should arrive very soon. After the team arrives you
talk to the guy he will ask you to dive with him. Show him your diving
certificate. After doing this the man will change and he will let you
change, when you enter the van take all the stuff that you need, but
when you take the oxygen tank look at the gauge before using it.
Obviously you want the tank that's most filled. You are finished in
the van and you can go diving now.
While diving, you can get the badge which is located roughly in the
middle of the screen. On the next screen left, you can acquire a knife.
The knife is located close to the edge of the screen on the right. It
will be a small grey looking object. After getting both of these, you
swim all the way to the right going through two screens. Here you will
find a bunch of rocks at the far right of the screen. Be careful here.
Swim to these rocks and move them around. This should reveal a body and
you can get the body. When you get the body you will surface
automatically.
Once on land, you talk to the other diver and he will tell you he will
take it from here. You then get into the van and change your clothes.
I, not sure if taking a picture of the body and getting another blood
sample from the body is worthwhile. After doing this you get back into
your car. Radio for the coroner. Drive to office.
While driving to the office you will be notified of a chase between the
police and Bains. They say the last location was around the airport, so,
you drive to the airport. After arriving at the airport, go look at
front plate of stolen car. You then cross the street. Remember to
press the button prior to crossing. After crossing you will buy a rose
from a lady who is passing by. Enter the airport, go into wash room
and go into the Toilet stall in the middle. There you open the toilet
and look inside to find something interesting. You get the piece, and
then leave the wash room. Go to the counter where they are selling
tickets. Go to the woman and show your id and then show the mug shot.
She will recognize the man in the picture. Ask for flight.
Leave the counter and head for the next screen, which is all the way
to the back. Go left. After entering here you should go to the rent a
car window where you again show the woman your id and mug shot. This
woman will also recognize the man in the picture.
You leave the airport, cross the road and go back into your car.
Remember that you must again press the button prior to crossing the
road. You are now back at your car, radio to notify houston and drive
back to the office.
When you reach the office go to the evidence booth and give all your
evidence to John and then go to your desk. After reaching your desk,
you will get this note from your girlfriend Marie Wilkans. The note will
tell you to call her, so you use the phone and call her. She will ask
you to meet her after work. After finishing your conversation, get up.
This may be a good spot to use the computer.
Leave the office. Drive to Arnies, where you meet Marie. After sitting
down across from her, wait for the waiter to come around. Order
meatloaf. When he leaves, give Marie the flowers. After giving her the
flowers you kiss her. Keep kissing her and you may get lucky.
The second day begins back at the police station, go back to your desk
and look at your message basket. You will see a lab report. Get it and
read it. The Captain will then notify you of a murder on 160 West Rose
St. Drive to 160 West Rose Street. After reaching West Rose you should
go search the body get the envelope corner from the guy. Get a blood
sample, take a picture and read the envelope corner. Then the Coroner
will arrive. You then type in, get body, to assist the coroner. You
then search the trunk again and you should find a death threat. Get it.
After all of this, Drive to the address which was written on the corner
of the envelope. Once at the Motel you should go up to the guy at the
window of the motel show your id and the mug shot. After he tells you
what room number, go back to your car and then radio in a report, you
then request for a warrant. After this you should call for back up and
then get out of the car. A short while after you exit the car, an
officer will come with a warrant. Get it and take the warrant and show
it to the man at the window. You then ask for the keys to the room
(108). Go to the room. Wait for your back ups to arrive before you
attempt to open the door. When opening the door make sure that your are
not in the middle of the door. Be sure to be at the right side of the
door, almost at the edge of the door.
After successfully opening the door the SWAT team will fire tear gas
into the room. Wait for the room to clear then enter the room. You
then enter the room search the room at the back to the left where you
will find Colby's business card in the sink. After retrieving the
business card, go to the night table in the room open the drawer. Get
the envelope. Open the envelope and read the letter. After reading the
letter go to the far side of the bed. Look under the bed. There should
be something under the bed for you to get. You should go then back to
your car and obtain your kit. Go back to the room and get a blood
sample. A picture might be good also.
Now you should drive to Marie's place. Just type Drive to Marie's.
After getting there, get the note from her door, read it and open the
door. After opening the door go to the ashtray and get the paper that's
in the ash tray. Dust the ashtray and get the print.
Go back to the office and submit all the evidence again. Go into the
burglary office and question the person at the first desk about the
shotgun. Then go to the firing range and re-calibrate your gun. When
you're finished doing this, drive to the airport. When you reach the
airport, cross the street. Buy a ticket for Steelton. After buying the
ticket for Steelton you call the Steelton Police Dept.(use 411 option)
so you can tell them that Colby is in danger. After doing this, get
the tickets from the man and then go to escalator.
Get on the escalator. Go to the gate. Show the man your id and he'll
let you pass. Board the plane. After you're on the plane sit down and
fasten your seat belt. Wait for the Stewardess to come around and ask
you for refreshments. Get coffee. Wait for some hijackers to come and
attempt to hijack the plane. Take off your seat belt and load your gun.
After they take control of the plane, wait for the hijacker to get the
stewardess. When he throws her to the ground the you get up and fire
your gun. You should kill the unmasked hijacker. Then the masked
hijacker should come out. Shoot this guy as well. After killing both
guy's, search the jacket of the masked hijacker and the turban of the
unmasked hijacker.
Go to the back of the plane into the wash room and open the paper towel
dispenser where you will find the bomb. If you don't see the bomb, then
open dispenser. Take your pliers and cut the yellow wire, the purple
and then the blue. You then connect the yellow wire again and then cut
the red or white wire. I think the color of this wire depends on whether
you're lucky enough to own an EGA monitor. Figure it out. Now cut the
yellow wire. Nice job.
The game will take over from here for a moment. When you arrive at the
police department, you talk to the lieutenant. Then pick up the radios
on the table and go into the hallway where your ride is waiting.
After you get to the park, go to the screen at the back. Go to the
screen on the right. Walk around and wait for a while until a guy comes
and tries to mug you. Just before he mugs you, use the radio and that
will bring in your partner. Catch the guy, question him and then read
him his rights.
Around that same area there is a manhole there near the bottom of the
screen. Open the man hole and climb down the ladder you should be in
a sewer. Frequent saves here are recomendend. Somewhere in the maze
of sewers is a door that contains a gas mask. Find it and get it. I'm
not exactly sure how I found it. Keep going down until you hit a dead
end. After you end up on this screen, cross the bridge to the right
and then go up and then make a right turn. Don't cross over the bridge
to the other side. Keep walking to the right. After this screen you
will see a screen with a door in the middle of it.
Just walk past here and onto the next screen. When you're on the next
screen walk across the bridge going from bottom to top. Then walk to
the left towards the screen with the door in the middle. After you
reach the door enter the room. There you will see your Marie. Go up
to her, calm her down first, then untie her. After doing this, hide
behind the large pipe on the left hand side of the wall and draw your
gun. When Bains enters the room and walks towards the middle of the
room face him and fire at him. He should be dead after a few shots.
You're a hero once again.
That's about it. You have finished the game. Just sit back and watch
the ending.
As I mentioned at the beginning, this is not the full solution. If
someone has gotten all the points, additions to this document, would be
much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance..
