Fugitive | Heavy Rain Walkthrough Heavy Rain HD Guide
Last update: 21 June 2019
On this page of Heavy Rain's game guide we've prepared a walkthrough for the Fugitive scene. In this scene, Madison will help Ethan avoid being caught by law enforcement. Jayden and Blake will try to catch Ethan. Reconciling the interests of these characters is not possible and you won't get a set of trophies right away.
Get off the bike and enter the building (blue door). You will find Ethan in really bad shape again (unless, as Ethan, you haven't cut your finger in [The Lizard], he will be completely all right then). This time though you don't have to nurse him, but help him escape.
Your next steps will influence how the plot is going to develop. The main options are these two variants:
- Successful escape from law enforcement officers - Ethan will have to successfully reach the metro station and lose Blake and Jayden. This will get you the Fugitive trophy.
- Ethan is captured by law enforcement officers - you can primarily do this on your own initiative, i.e. by not doing anything while playing Madison. This can also happen if you make too many mistakes when you run away. Catching him doesn't rule out Ethan's story, as he may still be released in the next stage of the game. If Ethan is captured, you will unlock the Hands Up! Trophy.
If you decide to run away (this is the recommended option for the first time when you play the game), ignore the front exit. Walk to the white wooden boards (or grey for women) that are covering the window. Push them away and climb up - this way you can escape. In the middle of the room, in front of Ethan, there's a red box. Move it to the window and run. If you haven't cut off your finger in [The Lizard], you will be shot.
Run towards the street, between the cars, to the subway. Don't turn left at the first truck - by doing so you will get caught. In the subway take the gates on the left or right - middle ones are out of service. After the gates go downstairs again, to the platform. Run through the station, then jump onto the rail and climb up to the next platform. Now into the train. Ok, you made it.
There's a possibility that, during your escape, you will be caught. It still doesn't end Ethan's story - he can be freed later (and this give you a trophy mentioned at the beginning of this chapter).
Under Arrest
This additional scene will only be included if Ethan has been captured by the police. Ethan will be questioned. Playing as Norman, ask him a series of questions in any order and then try to stop Blake from hitting Ethan. Norman doesn't believe Ethan is the killer and decides to liberate him. You must go to the interrogation room. Tell the guard to take a break, then help Ethan get up. You need to find the cape - it's on a chair in the hallway leading up to the interrogation room, where he can hide underneath, and the key to the cuffs.
Go to the room adjacent to the interrogation room and turn off the camera - this will allow you to win the Wise Guy trophy. Also, take the cape from the chair. Now go back to the room Ethan is in and brief the guard again or do it using the microphone on the desk in the camera room. He will also tell you that the keys to the handcuffs are on his desk. This desk is right across from Blake's desk. Go back to Ethan with the keys, uncuff him and give him the cape.
If Ethan escaped from the police station, he may be able to appear in the next stages of his journey. You will not be able to release Ethan if the police catches him twice, i.e. in the Fugitive and On the Loose chapters or if Norman died before the On the Loose stage. In that case, Ethan will remain in custody until the end of the game and will not appear as a playable character in later chapters.
