Go to Vincenzo and he will give you the key to the tower in the old prison from which you will shoot.
Go to the west side of the inactive prison. Jump over the fence...
...and then talk to the homeless man you meet there. He will tell you that he marked the route to the tower with a hobo sign.
First find the manhole to the sewers and go down.
Go through the sewers until you meet an aggressive homeless guy. Beat him.
Enter the canal on the right and it will lead you to a ladder, on which will take you to the inner courtyard of the prison.
Proceed to the door on the other side of the courtyard.
The gate to the next part of the prison is locked. Use a nearby switch to open it.
Go on through the successive rooms until you reach the next closed gate. Use the nearby switch again.
You will find yourself in a room with prison cells. Two homeless men you come across on the top floor will be aggressive and you will have to fight them.
In one of the cells you can find a "Dime Detective" magazine - The Corpse That Wasn't There (#5) (SM). The cell is closed...
...and to open it you have to use the cell switch.
Then the cell will open and you will be able to take the magazine.
Then go and use another switch to open the gate leading to another wing of the prison.
Going through the following rooms do not forget to take the next issue of the "Dime Detective" magazine which you will find in one of the rooms - Sealed with a Kris (#15) (SM).
You will eventually reach the door leading to the tower.
Before you go to the top of the tower go down the stairs and you will find another mystery fox there - Central Island #5 (SM).
When you get to the top of the tower, go to the other side of it and pick up the sniper rifle lying there.
Then take the right shot, preferably in the head of a politician.
Turnbull is dead. Every cop on the city wants to find you. Run.
When you try to leave the tower, a footbridge will collapse underneath you and you will fall a few meters down, causing you to lose consciousness for a while. When you regain consciousness, the prison will be searched by the police and you will have to get out and escape.
Kick the door in front of you. Then go to the end of the corridor and open the door to one of the cells. One of the walls in this cell is demolished so you can move on.
A little further on you will find an issue of the "Terror Tales" magazine lying on the desk - My Sweetheart of Death (#19).
Then through a hole in the floor in one of the rooms get to the lower floor.
This floor is patrolled by three policemen.
In one of the cells you will find another cigarette card - Vincenzo Ricci (#6) (SM).
Going further you will reach another closed gate. You will open it using the nearby switch.
To avoid fighting with a lot of cops enter one of the rooms and go down through the hole in the floor.
Then, using the right moment, sneak into the corridor on the other side of this room.
After a while you will reach the main prison hall, the one with the cells. It will be searched by a few policemen.
You can shoot them or just escape through a hole in the wall in one of the cells on the right side.
Get out of the prison area and then lose the police by running away on foot or driving away in a car.
Drive home to Sarah while the heat dies down from Turnbull's assassination.
When you lose the police, return to your home where Sarah will be waiting for you. This mission will end.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Just for Relaxation.
