I'm getting pretty close to being able to trace the call for the sidequest Cold Call Killer. However, I was wondering if it was possible to fail the trace? It seems like there is ample opportunity to miss tracing the call, especially if you don't move your cursor. I found out that you get a game over and have to retry if you miss getting to one of the ringing phones.
What happens when you fail to trace the call? Will the entire sidequest fail, or will you get another chance to trace it?

Alright, finally tried it: if you don't get enough progress on the trace, you will trigger a game over. You'll have to restart from Zsasz sending you running for the payphone, in much the same way as if you don't pick up the second payphone before it stops ringing.
