They might have hostages.

- L.A. Noire.
- Looks like one of those TMC movies from back in the day.
Turner Classic Movies.
- I've been hoping we get to play L.A. Noire.
Oh, I'm so excited. They always request it
and I thought if it's anything like film noire in old Hollywood,
that's my favorite.
- (FBE) This is a VR game. - Ah.
- (FBE) That has you taking the role of Cole Phelps,
a Los Angeles police officer in 1947 L.A.
- I've been one for 40 years. I fit right in.
- (FBE) So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna just have you
play through the first couple missions as a beat cop
in the '40s and just see how you do being
the long arm of the law. - I wanna be
on the other side of it.
- Let's do it.
- (gasps) Oh, oh, oh.
This is unbelievable.
- I'm at my office. There's my six shooter.
There's my cigar.
Coffee was stale. So was my life.
- Ah! - ♪ (jazz music) ♪
- Oh, so this is me now, huh?
- Ah, that's awesome. Ah yes, these were the days.
Still I got-- oh!
Wow, shazap.
- Okay, what kind of file do I have?
- Uh oh, here we go.
- Oh yeah, that's the old city hall.
- Talking to another cop. - (cop) Don't discuss
religion or politics.
- Oh, okay. Yeah.
- (cop) I've put him away before. - Yeah, you better run.
- Uh, three different movement modes.
- "Click the right trackpad twice to bring up your reticule.
Then click on the right trackpad to navigate
to the position you're looking at."
- "The next mode is highlight movement.
Look at the fence to make it glow and navigate to it
by clicking the right trackpad."
- "Hold down the right trackpad to initiate walking.
With your hands by your side, swing your arms using
long steady swings."
- Oh, cool.
- Oh, I'm about to hit the dumpster. (laughs)
- Come on, faster!
- Don't make me go up there.
Where'd he go, where'd he go?
- (cop) Give it up, Bowers. There's nowhere left to go.
- Oh!
- Aha. Little fistfight.
- (Bowers) Looks like we've got the place to ourselves.
- Can I shoot him?
- (Bowers) Come on then, pretty boy.
Persistent little [bleep], aren't ya?
That uniform makes you feel tough, does it?
- I thought-- why am I not punching?
- "Case failed. Officer down."
He's down!
- Come on, come on. You've got more than that,
don't you? He's in custody.
Did we expect anything else?
- Scumbag, scumbag!
- That's a workout.
- (cop) You run track in high school?
- I did.
- Oh, here I am. "Armed and dangerous."
New episode.
- Look at the cars! Look at everything.
Oh my gosh, I'm in downtown L.A.
- (radio) West Lake Savings and Loans.
- All right, we gotta go.
- Can I get in? Oh, "Grip the handle."
Okay, let's see.
- Oh, oh. Oh God.
And it's a Ford, of course.
- "Grip the wheel to steer."
- Oh, this is cool. Is there a radio?
Awesome. (laughs)
All right, how do I get started?
- (Phelps) Fourteen Adam calling KGPL.
We'll handle the 2:11. - Oh my gosh!
- "Press the left trigger to brake.
Hold to reverse. Press the right trigger
to accelerate." Oh, right trigger.
- Whoa. I'm going kinda fast.
- Whoo! I like this.
- Whoa, whoa. Well, I guess I won't
be getting there.
- Ah no, I don't wanna go there.
Stop.
- There we go. Now we're cooking.
- Oh, I didn't kill- ah.
- (cop) Straight, keep it straight.
What's so God damn hard about that?
- You come sit here in my car.
- Ah! And now I hit a wall.
Oh God, this is a lot. This is crazy.
- Oh, we gotta turn. Hold on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Here we go. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I'm a terrible driver. I gotta get off the road.
- Come on light, turn. There we go.
- Oh! Things went black.
- Whoa, whoa!
- (man) Take it quick, you guys. The cops are here.
We gotta move it. (gunshots)
- Oh boy.
- So, here I am.
"Grip to pick up." Oh.
- "Use the trigger to shoot." Where are we?
- Oh, there they are. I just dropped it.
Stay down. Oh, I dropped it again.
- "Phelps has a side arm in his holster.
Grip the side arm to unholster."
- Okay, "Use the trigger to shoot." Okay.
- Come out with your hands up. Come out before I blast you
to smithereens.
- Whoo!
- (laughs) Oh, I'm here.
- What?
- I don't have a weapon.
- (cop) Stay in cover.
- You, you're a bad guy! Come on out!
- Something fell off. "Case failed."
- "Armed and dangerous. Case failed.
Officer down." Aw.
- (cop) Stay in cover. - Okay.
- (cop) Backup will be here soon. - We haven't got time
for damn backup. They might have hostages.
- "Take your other hand off the pump and press
the grip to spawn ammo in your hand."
- (Phelps) L.A. PD. Put down your weapon.
- I'm hit!
- Oh, oh That's him, okay.
- No!
- Come on out.
- Oh, check these out. Put that in.
It's when we-- the reload.
- (Phelps) We got 'em all? - (cop) I think we got 'em, Cole.
- We got 'em? - (cop) Should be all clear.
- We got 'em!
- (FBE) And that's all we're gonna have you play
for the day. - Oh no.
Give me some more ammo. I'm still good to go.
I'm just warming up.
- I liked the background pictures of it,
but it was totally crazy. I couldn't figure it out.
- I feel like I went somewhere. I was really there,
so I think this is a great concept.
- This is perfection. It was beyond what
I thought it would be. It just took me right back there.
It's just a matter of letting yourself go and accepting
that world and being a part of that world.
