If the gas is released everyone in the Textil Mill area dies, whether they are inside or outside the factory. This is kinda stupid considering Daud is affected by the gas only when he's inside of it.

So the only way of passing this mission with "clean hands" is by doing the deal with Trimble (which I personally don't like because his a big b*tch) or killing Hat so he tells you the combination and reload your game before you ended his life.

Anyway, this is kind of bad game design to me because what the geezer asks you is something pretty fucked up and a lot of people would do it and not consider it an assassination (which means you could still get the "clean hands" achievement).


 * edit*

I just found a third way. You can steal the Sewer Key from Trimble or talk to him so he gives it to you (the 2nd option also makes the Hatters neutral towards you) and access the sewers. There you can you straight to the right and access the engine room where you can get the Engine Coil and get back to Lizzy. Yeah, you don't free Hat from his suffering but it's the cleanest (in terms of blood and morality) choice for this mission.
