Time to teach these Mafia thugs a lesson in revisionist history.
Mike

Down the River is a mission in Grand Theft Auto Advance given to protagonist Mike by Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen from her mansion in Bedford Point, Staunton Island, Liberty City.

Mission[]

Asuka Kasen is having problems with the Mafia, who want to make some money from her import-export business. However, Asuka has a plan to warn the Mafia against tackling her business and to make money. She wants to set up a servant ring in Asia and tells Mike that the Mafia members are going to be 'enlisted'. She gives him a Katana, a Kasen family heirloom, to attack the Mafia members and a vehicle to bring them to the docks in Newport. Mike leaves and drives to a location in Bedford Point, where he beats up and 'enlists' eight members of the Mafia. He drives them to the docks in Newport, with the Mafia members boarding Asuka's ship. Mike then drives to a second location in Bedford Point and beats up and 'enlists' more Mafia members. However, one of the Mafia members confronts Mike and is killed. Mike is then paged by Asuka and is informed that the ship is going to set sail soon. Mike drives back to the docks in Newport and drops off the remaining Mafia members, with Asuka witnessing the Mafia members boarding the ship.

At Asuka's mansion in Bedford Point.
Asuka Kasen: Mike-san, I'm quite upset. I run a profitable import-export business and the Mafia seems to want a piece of my pie, so to speak.
Mike: What do you want me to do about it?
Asuka Kasen: Well, I thought to make an object lesson out of a few of their thugs. I want to set up an indentured servant ring in east Asia and I want you to round up Mafia 'volunteers'. Take this katana; it's a family heirloom. 'Enlist' as many Mafia thugs as you can with it and we'll send them out on a cargo ship tonight. I expect at least fifteen Mafia thugs but will reward you handsomely if you bring me more, Mike-san.
Mike leaves Asuka's mansion.
Mike: You have a cruel sense of retribution, Asuka. Remind me never to cross you.
Mike drives to Bedford Point.
Mike: Time to teach these Mafia thugs a lesson in revisionist history.
Mike recruits the mafia thugs.
Mafia thug #1: Hey wise guy, don't think I won't forget your face!
Mike: Hmm... I'm not too sure how to take that. Get in the truck.
Mike gets in the truck.
Mike: Better drop this rowdy bunch off at the docks before hunting for more.
Mike delivers the thugs to the docks in Newport.
Yakuza member: Asuka sent me to supervise the operation. It'll just take a few moments to get these chumps onboard.
Mike returns to Bedford Point.
Mike: Here comes the American-born samurai! Banzai! Or something...
Mike recruits the mafia thugs.
Mafia thug #2: What's this all about? A free trip? I've never been out of my neighborhood.
Mike recruits the last mafia thugs.
Mafia thug #3: Hey tough guy! You think you can get away with the slaughter you just caused?
Mike: Well, if I don't leave any witnesses alive, I might have an even chance.
Mafia thug #3: You're crazy, princess! You're on top of the Mafia's hit list now. We'll be back.
Mike recruits at least 15 mafia thugs.
Mike: I can't work for this mad woman anymore. She's going to get me killed. Time to drive the truck over to the docks and introduce these Mafia thugs to their new lives.
Asuka Kasen (pager): Time to set sail, Mike-san! Bring the scum you've captured to the docks before the freighter leaves port. Asuka.

Asuka Kasen: Let us see what you have brought me, Mike-san. I count 15, unfortunate Mafia thugs. I have accomplished my goal of sending the Mafia a warning. Incursions into my territory will not be permitted.

Asuka Kasen: Ahh, Mike-san. How many poor Mafia souls have you brought me? [16-18] Mafia thugs, that's more than I'd expected. Good work. The first blow has been made. The Mafia will think twice before invading my territory again.

Asuka Kasen: March them off to the freighter, Mike-san. An ironic sight, don't you agree? I count [19-20] Mafia thugs here. Amazing! You deserve much more than the usual pay, Mike-san, some extra cash and my car. The Mafia will be infuriated at losing so many of their men!

Asuka Kasen: Mike-san, my katana looks like it's had quite a workout! Let's see what you've brought me. Unbelievable! I count [21-24] men here! The Mafia will be sore pressed to recover from such a blow. I will triple your pay and you may keep my katana and car!
