At this point you have the option to do an easy speech check to get Paul to calm down, or encourage him to attack Cooke.

Option 1: Kill Cooke
6. Encourage Pembroke to kill Cooke, then finish the fight. You can get Cooke's note from his body telling you about a drug deal going down north of town. 7. Go north to quest marker, don't bother talking to them as all options lead to combat. 8. Once everyone else is dead you can interrogate Trish, there's a few speech checks you can make for extra XP, but it's not hard to get her to give up the details on the chem lab. Alternately can kill her and take a note off her body. Make sure to grab the chems before leaving.
