Revision as of 07:25, 16 July 2014

Armando: "So...Victor...Lance. Who has been ripping us off? All of us. Because now we are partners. A team, as it were. Four brothers!"

Lance: "It was Martínez!"

Armando: "Really?! OK. Prove it. I mean...prove it now."

— The Mendez Brothers confront Victor and Lance Vance about the stolen coke

The Mugshot Longshot is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug kingpins Diego and Armando Mendez from their mansion on Prawn Island, Vice City.

Mission

Victor Vance and Lance Vance were recently hit by the Mendez brothers, who attacked their businesses but failed. The Vance brothers tell the Mendez brothers that they didn't have a part in the stolen coke, despite the fact that they did steal it. After a short talk, Armando threatens to kill them, but then tells them that they can work together and the Vance's agree. Armando asks them who stole the cocaine, to which Lance lies and says that it was Jerry Martinez. Armando asks that they prove this. Vic and Lance then leave the mansion and Lance says that Martinez is turning states. Vic then takes a photo of Martinez in a VCPD Cheetah near the police station in Washington Beach. After the photo is taken, Martinez heads for the marina in Ocean Beach, and Vic follows him. Martinez and the DEA agent stop near the boat with the shipment and board it. Vic, after getting closer, takes another photo of Martinez, this time with the drugs. Vic is spotted, causing Martinez and the DEA agent to flee in the boat. With the police in pursuit, Vic goes to Lance's apartment and gets Bryan Forbes' DEA ID number and meets Lance at the Printworks. There, Lance presses the picture and ID number together, making out Martinez as an undercover cop.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

Go to the Washington Beach police station
Take a photo of Martinez and the DEA Agent before the leave to 'prove' Martinez is undercover DEA
A good photo can be taken from the vantage point. Don't get too close or they will spot you
Take a close up photo of Martinez
Photo is good! Now follow their car
Take a photo of Martinez
A good photo can be taken from the vantage point. Don't get too close or they will spot you
Take a close up photo of Martinez
Photo is good! Now go to Lance's apartment to collect Bryan Forbes' DEA ID
Forbes' DEA ID has been collected. Go to the Print Works

Rewards

There is no reward for completing this mission, but Hostile Takeover for Armando Mendez and Diego Mendez is unlocked.

Notes

When you take the photo of Martinez in the boat, you will receive a four-star wanted level. Naturally, you will want to get to a Pay 'n' Spray to deal with this before moving on to the next part of the mission. Do not, however, steal the VCPD Cheetah that Martinez and the agent drove to the dock in. Although unmarked, it is considered a police vehicle and as such Pay 'n' Sprays will reject it.

-'''Armando''': Listen, Vance brothers, you want me to kill you now? No problem. Or we can work together. Your call.
-'''Vic''': What the hell kinda choice is that?
-'''Lance''': Alright, I guess we're gonna work together.
-'''Armando''': Good. Diego?
-'''Diego''': Si.
-'''Armando''': So... Victor, Lance, who has been ripping us off? All of us, because now we are partners; a team, as it were. Four brothers.
-'''Vic''': Yeah...
-'''Lance''': It was Martinez.
-'''Armando''': Really? OK, prove it. I mean, prove it now.
-(''Vic and Lance outside the mansion.'')
-'''Vic''': How the hell are we gonna prove Martinez was behind them losing their shipment?
-'''Lance''': Look, Martinez is turning states. All we need to do is get some photos of him with the feds. We could even make out like he was an undercover cop like Forbes. That's it. Man, I am a genius. Take some photos of Martinez talking to the feds, then get Forbes' ID from my place and meet me at the Print Works.
-'''Vic''': The Print Works?
-'''Lance''': Trust me... I see you there, brother.
-(''Martinez and a DEA agent are leaving the police station.'')
-'''Martinez''': Come on, man. This town ain't safe for me anymore.
-'''DEA agent''': Calm down, sir. You're in the witness protection program now. We'll take care of everything.
-(''Martinez and the agent walk towards a yacht in the pier.'')
-'''Martinez''': Is this the best you could get me? I should have taken my chances with the Mendez brothers.
-'''DEA agent''': Sir, turning states evidence isn't a lottery win. You're lucky to get this.
-(''Vic takes a photo of Martinez and he is spotted.'')
-'''Martinez''': Hey! Some idiot is taking photos of me. What kind of security is this? He could have a gun. Get me the hell out of here. You guys suck! I mean seriously suck!
-(''Lance and Vic at the Print Works.'')
-'''Lance''': Photos, Forbes' ID - cool. I'll put them together with these phoney ID papers my man just forged.
-'''Vic''': So, instead of DEA agent Forbes...
-'''Lance''': We've got agent Jerry Martinez - 1st class asshole. That should convince Mendez that Jerry was a cop.
-'''Vic''': What if it doesn't?
-'''Lance''': Run. But don't come running after me. My ass will be up in a tree in Haiti.
-==Rewards==
-There is no reward for completing this mission, but [[Hostile Takeover]] by the [[Mendez Cartel|Mendez's]] is unlocked.
