The Metro

**Puzzle Letter "U"**

**The Metro** is the prelude chapter to *Hotline Miami*, and Jacket's first mission after the Tutorial. It takes place on April 3rd, 1989, in the real Brickell Metro Station. *Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number*'s Subway scene similarly takes place in the also real Palmetto Station. The *Wrong Number* scene, Blood Money, features a return to Brickell for a bank heist.

## Phone Calls

**Don Juan:** こんにちは　あら 覚えてないのね　自分が 何者なのか…　そのほうが いいかもね

(And who do we have here? Oh, you don't know who you are..? Maybe we should leave it that way.)

**Richard:** オレは 知っているぞ　オレの顔を 見ろ　前にも 会ったことあるだろ？　覚えてないのか？

(But I know you. Look at my face. We've met before... Haven't we?)

**Rasmus:** お前なんか 知らねえ　何しに来た？　呼んだ 覚えはないぞ

(I don't know you! Why are you here? You're no guest of mine!)

**Don Juan:** 自分が 何者なのか　本当に 知りたいの？　自分を知る というのは　自分の行いを 認めることよ　ここ最近 ヒドイことばかり　してるでしょ…

(Do you really want me to reveal who you are? Knowing oneself means acknowledging ones actions. As of lately you've done some terrible things...)

**Richard:** オレを 思い出せないのか？　ヒントをやろう…　4月3日 という日付に 覚えはないか？　初めて 会ったのが　その日だった　何か 思い出しそうだな…　…

(You don't remember me? I'll give you a clue... Does April the 3rd mean anything to you? I believe that was the day of our first encounter. You look like you might be remembering something... ...)

## Phone Call

*「パン屋の ティムです　ご注文の クッキーですが　もう届いている はずです　レシピも 入れてあるので　よく 確認してください」*

*("Hi this is 'Tim' at the bakery. The cookies that you ordered should be delivered by now... A list of ingredients are included... Make sure that you read them carefully!")*

## Message

   *「ターゲットは ブリーフケースだ　手際よく 頼む　ポイントF-32に行き　ターゲットを ダストボックスに入れろ　失敗は 許されない　つねに 見ているからな」*
*("The target is a briefcase. Discretion is of essence. Leave target at point F - 32, inside the dumpster. Failure is not an option. We'll be watching you.")*

## Walkthrough

Metro is an introduction level for Hotline Miami and should not pose to be exceptionally difficult for any player. It features no guns, and appears designed to reinforce basic gameplay mechanics. The C Rank score is 13000.

* First section: Knock the first mobster down with the door and execute. Use his weapon to kill the mobster in the toilet
* Second section: Rush the first corner to take down the first mobster. Lure the second mobster around the first corner and kill him. The two mobsters down the bottom may be killed by either luring one out then killing them individually or waiting until both of them are close together and killing them both with a quick rush. Lure the two mobsters in the long hall down towards the corner and attack them as they come through the doorway or simply kill them as they approach you. Kill the Briefcase Man and take the case.
* Third section: Here the player must kill two mobsters stepping off the train. First knock down the bottom most mobster with the briefcase then knock the top mobster down as he rushes down. Once they are both down, execute the bottom mobster first then the top mobster.
* Fourth section: Drop the case into the bin. When the bum comes simply rush him and knock him down. Execute him, either by picking up the bat or barehanded.

Unless the car is entered quickly enough, Jacket will pull off his mask and proceed to vomit on the ground.

## Dialogue

[After dropping off the suitcase at point F-32, Bum from the Tutorial appears]

**Bum:** *誰だ？ そこにいるのは わかってるぞ*

*(Who's there? I can hear you! I know you're there!)*

[Jacket kills Bum, prompting him to vomit.]

## Outro

In Beard's convenience store:

*おっ アンタか　ひさしぶり だな　何かあったんじゃないかって　心配してたよ…　カノジョが あんなことになって　落ち込んでたみたい だったしな　会うのは あれ以来だよな…　…　別の話でも しよう…　夜食でも買いに 寄ったんだろ？　遠慮しなくて いい　店のおごりに しとくよ…　会えて よかったよ ゆっくりしてってくれ*

*(Hi there, man! Haven't seen you around. Thought something might have happened to you. You seemed really down over losing your girlfriend. Don't remember seeing you after that... .... Maybe we should talk about something else... So, out for a midnight snack, huh? Oh, don't worry about it. It's on the house... Good to see you! Have a nice night!)*

Snack: 6-pack

Other people: "You" from Jasper Byrne's *Lone Survivor* trying to decide between snacks.
