I Fought the Law Walkthrough Side Job Cyberpunk 2077

Dive in the Braindance

• First, to trigger this job, you need to complete Life During Wartime, obtain level 9 of Street Cred, and then wait for a message from Elizabeth Peralez. Once you've been contacted, head to the rendezvous place to formally meet Elizabeth and her husband, Jefferson Peralez.
• Now, get in the car and speak to them to learn about the task and accept the offer so that you can explore the braindance recording. Now, there are three clues that you need to obtain to complete the braindance sequence. In the audio layer, listen to the mayor's conversation with the deputy at 00:15; in the visual layer, the assassin as he passes the security gate at around 01:00, and finally, in the visual layer, the CCTV screen by the gate at 01:02.
• After scanning all three clues, exit the braindance and speak to Jefferson in front of his AV. After talking to them, you'll acquire River Ward's number. Call him to set a meeting.

Work with River Ward

• Next, head to Chubby Buffalo's and sit at River Ward's table. All you have to do here is speak to him and then ride with him. While in the car, Ward will suggest two possible leads, by default, he'll mention meeting his CI and the other is meeting the murderer's boss.
• If you choose to meet with the boss, you'll arrive in Japantown Market. Head to the opposite end of the market to find Christine Markov at her stall. If you're having a hard time looking for her, speak to the vendors and ask for her. When you find Christine's stall, speak to her and ask about Peter Horvath.
• After questioning Christine, head back to River's car and you'll find two Tyger Claw gang members waiting by the car. Now, you can avoid getting into a fight if you step back and let River handle them. If you butt in, you'll most likely escalate the situation and end up fighting them. Alternatively, if you have the Street Kid life path, you can deescalate the situation by answering them with a Street Kid exclusive line.
• After dealing with the Tyger Claws, join River in his car and head to Vista Del Rey to meet up with his informant. You'll now arrive at a sex shop. Enter the store and question the store clerk about Red Queen's Race - the man then runs away as you question him
• Now, you can force open the door he just went to as long as you meet 6 Body attribute or smash the glass panel and jump through it. Alternatively, you can go out the back and chase him in the nearby alleyway. Once you've interrogated the informant, River will propose to V to head over to Red Queen's Race together. Now, ride with River again and he'll drive to the warehouse.

Infiltrate the Club

• Queen's Red Race is hidden inside a warehouse, so you need to infiltrate the warehouse to reach the club. It can be accessed via a door inside a large shipping container that's in the middle of the site. Just proceed with caution since the warehouse is heavily guarded by members of the Animals gang and there are also cameras around.
• Upon reaching Red Queen's Race, your next objective is to check the computer in the office at the far end of the club, it's on the upper floor. Again the club is heavily guarded by Animals, so proceed with caution.
• There is also an elite Animal gang member here. If you incapacitate him, you can interrogate him and obtain additional information regarding the case. You can find him patrolling the lower floor. When you reach the terminal, use the computer and watch the footage in the "Files" folder. Now, talk to River and leave the club.

Report back to the Peralez

• You'll return to the parking lot of Chubby Buffalo where River confronts Detective Han. You just need to listen to River and Han talk, and when Han leaves, speak to River to progress the job. Shortly after the conversation, call Elizabeth Peralez and you'll be asked to visit her at her apartment in Charter Hill.
• When you arrive at the apartment building, use the intercom, and ride the elevator up to the penthouse. From here, talk to Jefferson and Elizabeth about the case
• While you are talking to the couple, choose the following dialogue lines: "Got a decent picture of what went down", followed by "Holt's behind it.". You'll be rewarded and now, you need to wait for 48-hours in-game before you trigger the next related side job, Dream On - leave the building to complete this job.
