There will be a thug standing there, staring at you. He will not attack, but if you beat him up he will drop a pistol, which is good for a first gun. You can now select this as a weapon and shoot people to get through the next few missions with ease (before you are given a gun by the mob, and it is more powerful).

Kill that guard, but be careful — make sure the maid does not see you. Follow the maid through the door on the right. When she is facing away from the guard, be silent and kill the guard. To the left (behind the maid), you will see the money bag containing the $20,000. Always crouch and use the garrote wire so you are silent and do not get caught.
“Intensive Care” mission: Free bag of money:After you kill the first assassin, go to Room 6 (the Don’s hospital room). Adjust the camera until you see a bag of money. The door is locked.

“Whack Bruno Tataglia” mission: Easy completion:
Make sure to have full health, loaded weapons, and a Molotov cocktail before taking the elevator to the crematorium. Get some cover and kill Bruno’s henchmen first; they will come after you anyway. Then, select the Molotov cocktail and throw it so it lands near enough to burn Bruno but not kill him. He will scream and drop his weapon. You will not be able to grab him while he burns but it will not affect your health if you try it. When the flames stop, grab him and march him to the oven. When his back is against the oven, push him back so his head and shoulders are inside it. Then, act if you are really trying to shove him in there with your controller.
