Just Business is the last mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Big Smoke from his home in Idlewood.

Mission

Carl drops by Big Smoke's house and finds him in the garage. They agree to take a ride somewhere, as Smoke has business to take care of. They head to Commerce and Big Smoke enters the Atrium. After a brief moment, a shootout is heard inside, and Carl quickly rushes inside, protecting Smoke from attacking Russian Mafia goons. Once all of the Russians are killed, the two hop on a BF-400 and attempt to escape. Carl acts as the shooter, killing as many enemies as possible. On the way, they jump above a ramp of a Packer to escape a roadblock, causing all of the Russians there to die in a huge explosion, however, the bike survives. After a long chase, Big Smoke rides through an alley in East Beach. The two have lost all the Russians, agreeing to split up.

Trivia

A scene in the mission featuring a Packer jumping off a surface road in slow motion into a storm drain channel, which Big Smoke and CJ are using to escape, is a nod to a similar scene in 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where a large tow-truck (driven by a Terminator) executes a similar stunt as it is pursuit of John Connor (also riding a motorcycle).
The BF-400 in this mission has the license plate reading "IMY AK" (Similar to the Feltzer in End of the Line and Cheetah when player bought it at Easter Basin Docks).
Using the Health and Armour cheat while on the bike causes it to explode; killing both Big Smoke and CJ.
This is the only mission for Big Smoke that does not involve any Vagos in it.
There is a glitch where, if the bike explodes in the sewer control paths and kills Big Smoke before it says the bike is totaled you will get to keep all of you weapons for the rest of the game (even when you die and get arrested) and you have unlimited ammo for SMG, Micro-SMG, or TEC9 until you complete the mission.
The song at the start of the cutscene is Biz Markie - The Vapors. This song can also be heard on Playback FM.
Some of Big Smoke's bike jumps will win you a few dollars in insane stunt bonuses and add to your stats in those areas, even though you're not driving.
The cutscene outside the Atrium "guest stars" the blonde pedestrian based upon Sharon Stone's character from Basic Instinct.
In the PS2 version of the game, you are given a Tec-9 with unlimited ammo at the start of the gunfight, though you have the option of changing to another gun during this segment. Once the bike chase begins, however, only a Micro-SMG is available. This is fixed in PC version and Carl receives a normal Mirco-SMG at the start of the gunfight.
The mission becomes slightly easier if the player works Carl's Micro-SMG skill level up to 100% before undertaking the mission, allowing Carl to wield dual guns during the on-foot parts of the mission.
When you conduct the health, armor, and money cheat, just as the chase begins, the bike will explode - and will also explode if the same cheat is activated again after the chase begins - showing that there is no way to replenish the health of the bike, as also going to a Pay 'n' Spray shop is impossible because Big Smoke is driving. This has been proven for the PC version of the game.
This mission is very similar to The Lost and Damned mission Shifting Weight, as both of the meetings go wrong, and the player has to ride on the back of a motorcycle to escape. (LCPD in TLAD and Russian Mafia in this mission)
This mission is also similar to The Ballad of Gay Tony mission Frosting on the Cake, as you have to ride shotgun, killing your enemies, containing a roadblock, a gang/crew chasing you on motorbikes, and also a heavy vehicle being involved.
The part of the mission where CJ and Big Smoke jump off the truck ramp with as it explodes was featured prominently in the second San Andreas trailer (the one with the the Guns 'n' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" song).
Upon closer inspection, it seems this mission was actually an attempt from Big Smoke to kill CJ: First, when Smoke enters the Atrium, there isn't enough time for a proper conversation with the Russians, Smoke calling for help only two seconds later. Second, Smoke could have used as an exit the door they came through in the first place, hinting that Smoke wanted CJ to get in the sight of more Russians. Then, Smoke drives on a path filled with Russians; the Russians couldn't have known where they actually are, thus making the return of the Packer and the various motorbkes suspicious, as they seem to appear at the right time in the right place. Last but not least, after the Packer's explosion, the Russians are already placed along the way, hinting to the fact that they were already there. Those familiar to the events following this mission will realize the darker plot and Smoke's real intentions in the mission. Others may view it as a simple deal gone wrong or a Russian ambush, but it would still mean that the Grove Street Families wouldn't have access to what the Russians are selling (later revealed to be "cheap guns", as Tenpenny states in Gray Imports, further hinting to Smoke's betrayal).
If CJ did not shoot gate of the tunnel, Big Smoke will comment, "The gate Carl, the gate!"
