By the Book is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given by FIB agent Steve Haines to protagonists Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.
Mission
Michael or Trevor (whoever is being played at the time) receives a phone call from Steve Haines telling them to go to a warehouse and meet the other protagonist (the mission automatically begins with the receipt of the phone call). There, they find Haines and Dave Norton along with Mr. K. Haines wants Michael to assassinate Tahir Javan, an Azerbaijani man who Haines and Norton claim has ties to terrorism. Mr. K previously set up an audio-visual system for Javan and so is the FIB's sole source of information. Haines orders Michael to go with Norton to locate Javan, while Trevor and Haines remain in the warehouse with Mr. K.
Michael and Norton drive to their first location, a home in Los Santos, but this turns out to be a false lead. Haines then orders Trevor to torture Mr. K in order to discover Javan's whereabouts. There are four ways in which Trevor can torture Mr K:
- Waterboarding
- Beating him with a wrench. Where Trevor hits depends on his position as he observes Mr. K. All three areas have the same effect and damage. Mr. K's left = knee. Middle = genitals/midsection. Right = arm.
- Electrical shocks from a car battery
- Extracting a tooth using pliers. First tooth changes speech. Unknown if more pulls either further deteriorate his speech or nothing at all.
(Mr. K can't be pushed too far. If this happens, he'll need an adrenaline shot, which requires injecting him with a syringe. Mr. K can die up to three times before Trevor runs out of adrenaline) The first round of torture reveals that Javan is actually at a beach house in Chumash. Michael and Norton drive to the home, but once there, they discover that a party is in full swing and that there are several men present who could possibly be Javan. At this point, Haines orders Trevor to engage in more torture. Through three additional rounds of torture, Mr. K reveals that Javan is:
- A man of average height and weight (Able to kill Javan at this point to complete the mission early.)
- Has a beard
- Is a chain smoker and left handed
Through these clues, Michael is able to identify Javan and assassinate him.
Back at the warehouse, Haines tells Trevor that Mr. K is expendable and orders Trevor to kill Mr. K after Haines has left. Once Haines departs, Trevor instead decides to free Mr. K. He guides Mr. K from the warehouse and into a waiting vehicle, at which point he drives Mr. K to the airport.

Aftermath
Los Santos Shepherd Newspaper
"A beach front house party turned into tragedy yesterday when an Azerbaijani-American was killed, in what appeared to be a professional job by a long range sniper. Police are baffled by the case not merely because they are baffled by most things, but also because no motive is apparent. The man Tahir Javan an Azerbaijani-American in his late 40s moved to this country when he was 13 and grew rich in the green energy sector and has subsequently donated large sums to education initiatives here and his former country. Who would offer a professional hit on him and why, or whether this was a professional hit or a psychotic rank gone dangerously wrong is still unclear. Tahir was a smoker, a bon vivant and a lover of life and all that was precious. "Why would anyone want to kill him? He didn't have any enemies, just friends and friends he hadn't made yet. We all loved him," Said partygoer Rachel Withers who described herself as something big in greeting cards."

Trivia
- This mission is said to be the one of the most controversial content in the whole franchise, and have received heavy criticism by critics from various media outlets.
- This is the first mission of the game that is automatically triggered. Trevor or Michael do not have the option of triggering it at leisure; it is not triggered while playing Franklin, but will trigger soon after switching to the other two characters.
- The gold medal objective "Don't Stop Me Now" is a reference of a popular song by Queen, which has the same title.
- This mission can be triggered by Michael or Trevor, though after receiving the phone call as Trevor, the player will be prompted to switch to Michael. After the usual "perspective change" animation, the opening cutscene of the mission starts playing with Trevor and Michael together, regardless of where Trevor might have been when he received the phone call.
- If the player begins the mission as Michael, before entering the warehouse, Trevor can be seen defecating behind a dumpster, much to Michael's disgust. Also, when you then leave the building as Michael and go behind the dumpster and zoom in with a sniper rifle, Trevor's crap will actually be there. Also if the player climbs into the wreckage in front of Trevor, then zoom in on him with the sniper rifle or snapmatic, there the player can see Trevor's penis uncensored.
- If the player begins this mission as Trevor, before entering the warehouse, Michael will be seen smoking and Trevor tells him to quit that and shape up.
- When Michael and Dave are heading to Javan's location, there is dialogue between them that suggests the true fate of Brad Snider.
- The name of this mission its from a sentence that Trevor says while he is drowning Mr. K, he says "always go by the book, thats my motto."
- The gold medal objective for waterboarding Mr. K called "It's Legal!" is a reference to the rumor that the CIA uses waterboarding as a form of torture to get information.
- This also may cause a bug. If the player is wearing a full outfit which includes shoes, Trevor's model will switch to his default jeans, but not default boots. This makes him have no feet.
- It is possible to assassinate Javan early (not getting all the information) successfully, to cut the torture session short. This does not change the outcome of Mr. K's condition for the most part, but some dialogue may change depending on what torture tools you didn't use. (i.e. No pliers = clear speech and different dialogue, etc.). Doing this provides a bewildered response from Dave, and a few unique lines shared between him and Michael.
- Also, while replaying the mission, if you kill Javan early, the game will rarely bug and Michael will stand still aiming, the player will not be able to switch to Trevor and there's no Misson Failed screen. The only solution is to pause and load a previous game file.
- After the coffee break, a glitch may occur that causes the coffee cup to stick in Michael's hand.
- If the player switches to Michael immediately after the mission ends, Michael will be in front of the FIB Headquarters saying goodbye to Dave.
- After Trevor drops Mr. K off at the airport, it's possible that Mr. K escaped and went off somewhere else.
