Go to were the Darpa Chief is located. Enter the level 6 door in the hall were the elevator is located. Wait for approximately five seconds without getting the red box with your clothes. Walk back through the door and go to Jonny Sasaki (the guard on the ground). He will not have the censor blur over his body. Note: You cannot use the elevator until you get the box with your clothes and items.

Use a GameShark and turn on the level 10 key to open all doors after being tortured by Revolver. Open the door before getting the red box and go out in the hall. Then, go to the Darpa Chief's room where the guard was naked. He will be completely naked when you open the door. You can take a picture, then get the red box - you cannot leave because the elevator is turned off. Remember that Revolver has placed a hidden bomb in the box, so throw it away.
