Poulet: Well, you might as well come in and rest your soles and have some tea. Do you have something there for me, Tommy? Tommy: Yeah... Poulet takes Tommy's drug package as he sits down to drink Poulet's tea. Tommy: This place feels familiar to me, uh... it's a smell of childhood, a deja vu... Poulet: Now, Tommy, I'm going to whisper a lickle errand for you. Hear me well, aye? Tommy: You look like someone, I...I... Poulet: The Cubans ("Them..." in the later versions) have fast boats they use to cross the seas with drugs. It is their livelihood. Me nephew bin making lickle flying bombs to take dem out. Blow de boats to coffin wood. Tommy: Thanks for the tea. Tommy leaves the shack and goes to a Top Fun van located not too far from Poulet's shack, which contains RC Barons. He uses the planes to destroy the boats at Starfish Island and kill any Cuban witnesses that attempt to escape.

Walkthrough

Auntie Poulet is sitting alone in her shack in Little Haiti.

Tommy walks into the shack carrying a pack of coke. After seeing Poulet sitting down he excuses and says he may have the wrong address.

Poulet tells Tommy that since he came, he may as well come in and rest and drink some tea.

Poulet notices the pack of drugs Tommy's carrying and asks if it's for her.

Tommy gives her the coke and says that the shack gives him some deja vu feelings.

Poulet and Tommy sit down and Poulet tells Tommy that he'll have to do more work for her.

Tommy says that Poulet reminds him of someone he has met before.

Poulet ignores Tommy's remarks and tells him that the Cubans have boats that they use to smuggle drugs across the sea.

Poulet reveals that her nephew has been making some bombs to take the boats out, which Tommy will be able to use.

Poulet tells Tommy to go and destroy those boats.

Tommy stands up, thanks for the tea, and walks out of the shack, accepting the job with no hesitation.

Trivia

• There is a glitch where after the cutscene right before controlling the RC plane it is possible to get out when that cutscene finishes, allowing for driving to the place and destroying the vehicles using firearms and pass the mission. The Cubans do not attack back when this happens. This is only confirmed in the PC version.
• The Top Fun van is unmovable all the time during the mission progress, even after completing the mission, it cannot be driven out of the lawn nor moved by Tommy. This was fixed in the Japanese, German "Green Pepper", and mobile versions, however, where the Top Fun is unfrozen after the mission.
• The RC Baron in this mission is extremely difficult to fly because it has a big heavy bomb under the belly. On top of that, judging when the boat is below and how to "lead" the Cuban boats is quite difficult since the camera angle does not go that far above the plane, making this mission quite difficult to complete.
  • Instead, use the RC Baron to carefully push each Cuban into the water before bombing the boats. This may take patience.
  • It is also possible to use the RC plane to bump the Cubans to their deaths, although this trick will take a long time.
