==Walkthrough==
==Transcript==
==Impact==
The only endings shown here are the ones where a character goes to the warehouse.
===Ethan===
If he goes alone, or if all 3 characters go and Madison can't warn him, Ethan will always receive the "Ethan's Grave" ending.
If Ethan survives, forgave Madison in "On the Loose," and Madison survives, Ethan will receive the "A New Life" ending.
If Ethan survives and Madison is dead and/or rejected, Ethan will receive the "A New Start" ending.
===Madison===
If Madison is killed by Scott, she will receive the "Dead Heroine" ending.
If Madison survives with Ethan alive, free and forgiving, she will receive the "A New Life" ending.
If Madison survives with Ethan dead, jailed, or free and rejective, she will receive the "Heroine" ending.
===Norman===
If Norman is killed by Scott, he will receive the "Uploaded" ending.
If Norman survives, he will receive the "Case Closed" ending.
===Scott===
If Scott dies, he will receive the "Origami's Grave" ending.
If Scott survives with Lauren saved in "Trapped," he will receive the "A Mother's Revenge" ending.
If Scott survives with Lauren dead in "Trapped," he will receive the "Unpunished" ending.
==Trophies==
* Simple Mind – Save the Origami Killer before he falls with either Norman or Madison.
* So Close... – Reach the warehouse with all characters, but fail all of their assigned tasks by failing Norman's fight scene (killing him) and failing to warn Ethan about the police (causing Madison to be arrested and Ethan killed).
* Four Heroes – Reach the warehouse with all characters, Norman kills Scott, Ethan saves Shaun, and Madison warns Ethan.
* Saved the Kid – Save Shaun as any character.
* Perfect Crime – Received if a number of conditions are met: Both Madison and Jayden are killed (if killed in "The Doc" and "Mad Jack" they will not be mentioned in the ending news report and the trophy will not appear); Scott cleans the fingerprints from all objects in "Manfred;" Hassan is killed in "Hassan's Shop;" Lauren drowns in "Trapped;" Kramer dies of a heart attack in "Face to Face." What happens to Ethan or Shaun is irrelevant.
==Trivia==
* This chapter has a unique loading screen: instead of featuring Ethan, Scott, Norman or Madison, it features Shaun, though he differs in appearance from his in-game model.
* This is the only chapter to feature all four main characters, and Scott is the only one who is not playable.
* This is the only chapter in which Ethan and Scott can die (not including some of the endings).
* While controlling Ethan at the beginning of this chapter, it is possible to trigger a humorous glitch called "Press X to Shaun."
* Ethan going to the warehouse alone will always result in him getting shot dead by police and getting the "Ethan's Grave" ending. There are some rumors that Ethan can go alone and survive (likely attributable to a pre-patch version of the game), but under current and recent patches of the game, this is impossible.
* If Ethan goes to the warehouse alone, once he is given the choice to shoot or spare Scott, the scene will loop indefinitely until the player makes a decision. Something similar happens in "The Shark" if Ethan doesn't get caught by Brad Silver while being chased around his apartment.
* There are two considerable plot holes in this chapter:
** The police's appearances at the warehouse are inconsistent; they appear only if Ethan goes alone or if all three characters go. It is implied that Blake was suspicious that Jayden left the station and that he perhaps followed him, but the fact that Blake will make it to the warehouse even if Norman is dead seemingly disproves this theory. So really, why is it that the police don't appear if Jayden and/or Madison show up without Ethan?
** Scott's attitude towards Ethan is also inconsistent. In the "Ethan alone" scenario, Scott allows Ethan to hold him up at gunpoint and possibly kill him. In all other scenarios where Ethan is present, he will attempt to kill him before fighting either Madison or Norman.
** A possible explanation for the second plot hole is that Scott had intended for Ethan to come alone, and saw him as a liability or was angered at him for seeking outside help if he arrives with someone else. This is further supported by Scott telling Norman (if he is alone) that he has "no business" being at the warehouse because he is not Shaun's father. If Ethan and Madison arrive but Norman doesn't, Scott claims that he must kill them both because Madison knows his identity and he does not want to be imprisoned for his crimes.
** It's also possible that Scott allows Ethan to shoot him in the "Ethan alone" scenario to place himself above suspicion. Since the police believe that Ethan is the Origami Killer and Scott was investigating the case, they're likely to think that Ethan killed Scott to stop himself from being brought to justice if they arrive at the warehouse and find Ethan and a dead Scott there.
* Madison is the only main character who doesn't bring a gun to the warehouse, despite "Sexy Girl" revealing that she has one.
* If Ethan is shot outside in the "all three" scenario, Madison uses the same yell as she does in "Tears in the Rain" when she runs toward Ethan to stop him from shooting himself ("NO! Ethan, no!").
* In the "all three" scenario, the four characters will appear in the order they debuted in (Ethan, Scott, Jayden, then Madison).
* Ethan forcefully took the handle of his gun apart if he killed Brad during the Shark Trial. This means that Ethan - off-screen and perhaps in preparation for the scenario - repaired his gun if he successfully completed the trial, despite his thoughts during "The Shark" stating that he never used a gun in his life.
* Jayden is the only protagonist who shoots the lock off the grate on the drywell. Both Ethan and Madison break the lock by grabbing a piece of discarded rebar and wedging it open.
** Ethan doesn't use his gun despite bringing it with him, possibly out of fear that the bullet will ricochet and hit him or Shaun.
* Although it is likely designed to reflect Blake's impulsive, rash, and outright brutal decision-making, there was no directly justifiable reason for Blake to order shots to be fired on Ethan. He should've clearly seen a firearm before ordering the strike.
* Madison can survive being shot up to three times in her fight. The fourth shot will kill her.
* If Madison fights Scott and is killed by being thrown off the crane, her nose can be seen bleeding when the camera focuses on her face.
* If Madison is the one to fight Scott, during the chase through the docks she has the option to grab Scott's gun and attempt to shoot him with it. However, if she fails to use it after grabbing it, Scott will knock it out of her hand; if she succeeds in using it, she will discover that the gun is out of ammo. Either way, the chase will continue as normal.
* In the "Madison alone" scenario, if Madison saves Scott from falling and wins the subsequent fight, the rear shot of Scott shows a bloodstain on his trench coat before he gets impaled on the metal pole.
* Some players are confused as to how Ethan survived being shot by Scott in the "Ethan and Madison" scenario despite the shot being fired point-blank. A likely explanation is that the developers wanted Ethan to go to the warehouse and at least have a chance to survive unless he went alone, and they didn't want a scenario where every playable character except Scott died and Shaun still survived (provided Madison lost the fight after Ethan was killed, had that been the case).
* In the "Ethan and Madison" scenario, if Ethan loses the struggle with Scott, the cutscene where he is shot is shown at a different angle.
* In scenarios where Madison arrives with either Ethan or Norman, even if they fail to shoot Scott a second time when saving Madison, the scene with Scott falling into the water is the same.
* In the "Ethan and Madison" scenario, Ethan's hand can be seen clipping through his leg before he turns to face Scott.
* If Madison only arrives with Ethan, she cannot be killed by Scott near the drywell; she can only die during the docks chase or the fight on the crane.
* When playing as Norman, if he goes to the warehouse alone, he will be using the same walk that he did before fighting Korda in "Covered Market."
* Unless Ethan goes to the warehouse, Shaun is only guaranteed to survive if Norman goes alone.
* Madison is the only one of the three protagonists who cannot save Shaun before Scott arrives.
** If Ethan or Jayden arrive alone, they will always save Shaun before being confronted or ambushed by Scott.
** If Madison arrives alone, Scott will confront her before she opens the grate. If she knocks him out, she will save Shaun before Scott starts chasing her; if she fails to knock him out, he will start chasing her before she can save Shaun.
* Shaun can die in three scenarios: if no one finds the warehouse, if Madison and Norman go and are both killed, and if Madison goes alone and dies before saving Shaun.
* If Ethan doesn't drink the poison in "The Rat" and makes it to the warehouse, the scene where he tells Shaun how important he is to him will be skipped and the subsequent scene will play immediately after he revives Shaun.
* If Madison goes to the warehouse alone and is choked to death by Scott before getting Shaun out of the drywell, the scene then plays as if no one went to the warehouse as usual, except Scott can be seen standing over Madison's dead body, watching Shaun slowly drown. A similar scene plays if Madison and Norman go and both are killed, except Scott is not present.
* If Norman goes to the warehouse alone and dies, the chapter ends with a shot of Shaun looking dazed and confused as he staggers toward Norman's car. Something similar happens if Madison goes to the warehouse alone and dies after saving Shaun, only he staggers toward Madison's motorcycle.
** Why Scott doesn't return to finish Shaun off after killing Norman or Madison is unknown. It may be due to his sense of fair play and deciding to let Shaun escape even if Ethan wasn't the one who saved him, or being injured and exhausted after chasing, fighting, and killing Norman or Madison.
* All but one of Scott's deaths in this chapter occurs when another main character causes him to fall. The only exception is when he gives Ethan the choice to shoot him.
* If Norman goes to the warehouse with Madison, then he is guaranteed to survive unless Madison is killed near the drywell. If this happens, Norman will fight Scott and from here, one of them will die.
* It is impossible for Madison to die if both Ethan and Jayden are at the warehouse, likely because she was the last to arrive.
* If Ethan, Madison, and Norman all fail to find the warehouse, then this is the only chapter in the entire game to feature no on-screen characters.
* Madison, Norman, and Scott can all die in brutal ways in this chapter.
** Madison's deaths from being choked by Scott or stabbed by the metal pole twice on the crane - one injuring her, the other killing her - can arguably be considered her most brutal deaths.
** Norman's death by waste crusher when he is conscious is arguably his most brutal death, on par with getting crushed to death in "Mad Jack."
** Scott's death by falling in the waste crusher alive is considered by many to be one of the most brutal deaths in the game.
* Ethan's possible death if he is shot by the police was originally intended to be bloodier. The lights from the helicopter are also missing. This version of his death can briefly be seen in a Japanese trailer for the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6wKL-cXSQk&feature=youtu.be
* If Ethan arrives at the warehouse with Madison after rejecting or refusing to forgive her in "On the Loose," he will react to her arrival with annoyance, sarcastically asking if she's still chasing a story. He will be less hostile and more relieved if he forgave her, and will also thank her if she sent him the address.
** Oddly enough, Ethan will still somehow know that Madison is a journalist even if he didn't sleep with her and discover her phone and notebook.
