Travel to the outside of Seon's Food & Stuff in the North Plaza and defeat Isabela on her motorcycle. |
Case 4-2: Girl Hunting is the tenth case Frank West receives in Dead Rising, which involves Frank confronting Isabela Keyes who is found leaving the supermarket. The pair get into a battle in which Frank ultimately defeats Isabela and is able to talk to her.
Summary[]
Isabela is walking out of Seon's Food & Stuff when she spots Frank. Frank tries to talk to her, but Isabela mounts her motorcycle and attempts to run Frank down. Now that Isabela is hostile, Frank must defeat her.
After Isabela is defeated, she falls off her motorcycle. Frank chases her and insists that he has to talk to her, but Isabela resists and kicks him in the groin. Frank grabs her by the ankle and physically restrains her, demanding to talk to her. Isabela promises not to run, and Frank lets her go.
She says that her brother, Carlito, wants them to know that it was America's fault that the zombies were created. Frank demands to be taken to him, but Isabela refuses on the grounds that he's injured and in no mood to talk. She says that she'll persuade him to talk to Frank once he's recovered. They agree to meet at midnight in the empty store next to the camera store in North Plaza.
Battling Isabela[]
 Isabela |
 Make sure to bring food to this battle. As soon as the fight starts, Isabela guns the engine of her motorcycle and drives straight toward Frank. Avoid getting hit by the motorcycle, as it can deal significant damage. Frank can either dodge, or a well-placed gunshot will cause her to swerve. Frank can alternatively run directly to his right and jump on the boxes—not up the scaffolding, but the wall leading up to the supermarket—and Isabela cannot hit Frank and he can shoot at her. One of the safest ways to fight Isabela is to use Frank's running jump kick. When timing it just right as Isabela is charging toward him straight on, jump kicking will make Frank leap over Isabela's motorcycle and simultaneously damage her. Repeating this with good timing should avoid any additional damage. If Frank needs to recover some health, climb up onto the scaffolding to get out of the way before eating anything. Do not try to go into Seon's Food & Stuff, as Isabela will escape and the mission will fail. Melee weapons are effective if the player is willing to risk attacking Isabela from the front when she stops and revs her engine; Frank will inevitably take some damage, but should be able to pull off a hit or two first. The small chainsaw will defeat her quickly. Frank can hit her from the front with the small chainsaw, but he will only get one swing before she runs him over. The best way to engage Isabela in melee combat is to head into a corner and with luck, she will get stuck long enough for Frank to get a few hits. Frank can also use the juice Quickstep to outmaneuver her. |

Frank: Wait! I've gotta talk to you! 
 Isabela: Are you... a reporter?
 Isabela: Let go. I will not run, so let go. You're hurting me.
Isabela: How much do you already know? Have you called for help? Frank: Hold your horses, babe, I'm the one asking the questions here. What is Santa Cabeza? And how is it connected to all this?  Isabela: The zombies were created by you, not us. That's what Carlito wants you all to know.
Isabela: If you want to interview someone, talk to Carlito. He has all the answers. Frank: You're talkin' about that guy that took potshots at us with a sniper rifle, aren't you? Take me to him. Isabela: No! Not now. he is injured. And in no mood to talk to anyone. I'll bring him to you once he is recovered. I can persuade him. I'm his little sister, after all. Frank: Why should I trust you to bring him to me? Isabela: The zombies are a message from Carlito. He wanted people to know. Frank: Fine. Go. When will you be back? Isabela: Tonight at midnight. Wait for us in the store next to the camera shop in the North Plaza. 
Isabela: I'm Isabela, by the way. And I promise, I'll come back.

Optional cutscene[]
After Isabela's defeat, Frank can travel back to the Security Room for an optional cutscene with Dr. Russell Barnaby.

Frank: You learn anything new on this end? Jessie: Santa Cabeza is a stronghold of the Central American Drug Trade.  Brad: The professor here seems to think that the zombies are a byproduct of these drugs.
 Frank: So you're telling me, what?
Dr. Barnaby: They're terrorists. Don't try to explain their actions with logic! I analyzed the drug in question and I've reported my findings to the government. That must be what set them off.  Dr. Barnaby: They... They didn't want to be... exposed. I've... I've told you everything I know! Now get me out of here! Call for help and kill those creeps!

Notes[]
- Make sure to have plenty of time left to do this case. If you have a small amount of time remaining, you can beat Isabela and still lose, even if there is still time remaining. You must beat her and have more than a short time left to complete the case, or else Isabela dies instead of being defeated. This seems to trigger when the case has an hour or less left.
Trivia[]
- A unique cutscene can be triggered by running out of the North Plaza or entering any of the stores such as Seon's Food & Stuff, Huntin' Shack, or Crislip's Home Saloon. All of the cases will fail, and a cutscene will play where Isabela drives off. This cutscene will also play if Frank doesn't defeat her before time runs out. However, this will force you to reload a save game or restart the story.[2]
