Once the guards on the lot are cleared, more will start to come after you. Get back into the Tailgater and speed off. You should also have the cops on you at this time as well, so try to break their line of sight and then set up an ambush for any of the Epsilon guards chasing you. If you still haven't killed all of the guards, then do so, and then lose the cops, which will then net you an exceptional $2,100,000.

Unknowing the Truth is Strangers and Freaks mission in Grand Theft Auto V for protagonist Michael De Santa. It is the last in the Epsilon Program's The Truth missions.

Overview

Michael is called to the Epsilon Program building by Cris Formage to help him transport a load of "apocalypse funds" offshore to the Cayman Islands. Michael gives Cris a final donation of $50,000 and agrees to help move the cash. Michael is given charge an Obey Tailgater (in the Epsilon colors and with the license plate "K1FFLOM") which is loaded with duffel bags of cash. Michael travels in convoy with a single baby blue Landstalker to the drop-off point behind the Burton Los Santos Customs. There, the convoy is met by a Maverick prepared to take the funds.

The player has two choices as to how to conclude the mission.

  1. Michael exits the car at the drop-off point. He is greeted by an Epsilon member Jesse coming from the helicopter. Jesse, thanking Michael for his services, leads him down a nearby stairwell to a parking lot where he presents Michael with his reward, a rusty Tractor. Jesse worships the Tractor briefly, then scuttles away. Returning to the drop-off points reveals that all Epsilon vehicles have disappeared.
  2. At any point upon entering the Tailgater, Michael can flee the convoy. Michael can also choose to attack the Epsilon members collected at the drop-off point. With either choice, Michael will immediately become targeted by angry and heavily-armed Epsilon guards. Michael must evade or kill the guards on the ground as well as the now-following Maverick, all the while protecting the Tailgater. Once Michael has eliminated or escaped from the Epsilon guards and lost any resulting wanted level, the mission will end. Michael keeps the money in the Tailgater which totals $2.1 million.

If Michael choses option 2, after the mission ends, he receives a call from Cris Formage. Formage is irate and threatens to destroy Michael's life and career. Michael laughs at Formage and announces he's taken the money as a refund.
