I've seen this on a wintel box.  It will take you back to where you made a
mistake (in other wards, you should be able to finish it where it make you
start over.)  You have a choice of starting it over as well.  Depends on
what you have already the chase can be pretty easy, but the most fan you
can have is that you don't have much before you start the chase.  If you
have all required items before the chase starts, you can just grab the
book and you are finished w/ the chase (very boring).  If you don't have
many items required (when you start the chase), you can find all dead
bodies during the chase and see clips you would never see other wise.  One
dead end I could never get out of is where coffins(sp?) are.  I didn't
have the book at that point.  I soon discovered that I can hide in one of
the coffins by plying(sp?) it open using a spike.  I couldn't attack Dan
while I was hiding, and after he leaves I cannot do much.  I can hide in
there again, but sencond time Dan will catch Adrian.  

Anyway, good luck.
