+ | ==Description== |
+ | Michael and Trevor are summoned to Madrazo's house in [[La Fuente Blanca]], where Madrazo has a job for them. Madrazo's cousin [[Javier Madrazo|Javier]] is going to testify against him; Madrazo wants Javier killed and sensitive documents retrieved. |
||
− | Michael must shoot down an airliner, with a heavy weapon hidden inside a van provided by Madrazo. |
||
+ | The player takes control of Michael. Michael drives to the [[Galileo Observatory]] where Madrazo has left a black [[Burrito]] with a [[Remote Sniper|heavy rifle mounted in the rear]]. Michael must use the rifle to shoot down the [[Air Emu]] [[Shamal]] carrying Javier to [[Los Santos International Airport (HD Universe)|Los Santos International Airport]]. The high-powered rifle uses a unique display that places a red square before the jet, showing the location where Michael must shoot in order to compensate for the distance if he is to hit the engine. The Shamal first appears in the upper left-hand quadrant of the rifle's display (when using the gun, the radar is hidden so it is very difficult to see the plane at first), then crosses left to right towards the airport. Michael must shoot the jet three times to take it out of the sky. |
||
− | As the plane descends towards the ground, Trevor must catch up with it on a [[Sanchez]]. Once the plane is grounded, he collects a briefcase from the cockpit, requested by Madrazo. |
||
+ | [[File:CaidaLibre-GTAV-next.jpg|thumb|300px|The mission in first-person.]] |
||
+ | Once the aircraft has been damaged, the player is switched to Trevor. Riding a [[Sanchez]], Trevor chases the fast descending jet from the Galileo Observatory through [[Great Chaparral]], [[Harmony]] and [[Sandy Shores]]. While the player has some freedom over what path to use, the pursuit does feature at least one jump that Trevor must successfully make in order to keep up with the plane. Once the aircraft crashes, Trevor must kill Javier and retrieve the sensitive documents contained onboard the Shamal. |
||
+ | |||
+ | After Trevor has obtained the documents, the player is switched once again to Michael. Michael takes the van from the area surrounding Galileo Observatory, then destroys the vehicle. Afterwards, Michael is about to make his way to La Fuente Blanca in order to meet up with Trevor, and give the documents to Madrazo. However, Michael receives a phone call from Trevor revealing that he has other ideas. Trevor asks Michael to meet him instead at [[Stoner Cement Works]], north of La Fuente Blanca along [[Senora Road]]. Trevor arrives soon after Michael. Trevor states that he went to discuss payment with Madrazo, which led to an argument. Trevor then opens the trunk of his [[Baller|vehicle]] to reveal he has kidnapped Madrazo's wife [[Patricia Madrazo|Patricia]]. With Patricia tied up, Michael and Trevor leave the cement works and go into hiding at Sandy Shores. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The player is automatically switched to Franklin after the mission is completed. |

+ | ==Consequences== |
||
+ | [[File:Notification-GTAV-MartinWarning.png|thumb|250px|Martin's warning]] |
||
+ | *Following this mission and until [[Monkey Business]] is completed, [[Martin Madrazo]] will send his [[Madrazo Cartel|henchmen]] to attempt to kill Michael or Trevor if they enter Los Santos. This notification (see picture on the right) is the game's final warning before these henchmen spawn, giving the player time to escape. |
||
+ | *Michael and Trevor are both exiled from [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|Los Santos]], and [[De Santa Residence|Michael's mansion]] will be locked while [[Floyd's Apartment]] will no longer be available as a safehouse for Trevor. Michael's garage in Vinewood and Trevor's garage in Pillbox Hill can still be accessed, but at the risk of being attacked by Martin Madrazo's henchmen. |
||
+ | **The exile also affects any side-missions located in Los Santos. Because of this, any that aren't yet completed will have to be postponed until [[Monkey Business|later in the game]]. |
||
+ | **If Michael enters Los Santos while exiled from the city, his red [[Premier]] will still be located at his mansion even though his mansion will still be locked. |
||
+ | **If the player switches to Trevor, he will sometimes be located at [[Pacific Bluffs]] or [[Vinewood Hills]]. |
||
+ | *Michael must use [[Trevor's Trailer]] as a safehouse. This creates a rare situation in the game where both playable main characters will be in the same vicinity while not on a mission, without the player having to orchestrate the circumstances. Their interactions will be unfriendly and the AI-controlled character will soon leave the vicinity. If the AI-controlled character gets into a vehicle's driver seat, the player-controlled character can enter that vehicle's passenger seat before the AI drives off, then the player can instantly switch to the driver and go for a drive with both characters and watch the argument between them. If the vehicle stops at any point, the character in the passenger seat will exit and walk off. |
||
+ | **Due to Trevor and Michael spawning so close to each other, the game's mechanism in which the AI-controlled character automatically asks the player-controlled character if they want to hang out is temporarily disabled. This goes for Franklin as well; if Franklin goes out to [[Sandy Shores]] and encounters Trevor or Michael, they'll exchange pleasantries, but the AI-controlled character will indicate they're busy and leave the area. Similarly, the three protagonists can no longer phone each other and ask to hang out. |
||
+ | **This also creates a unique situation in which Trevor or Michael are able to obtain each other's default vehicles. For this to happen, leave the character's default vehicle parked in front of the trailer and leave the vicinity and steal another vehicle. Return to the trailer where the default vehicle should still spawn. Park and exit the new vehicle and then switch to the other character. If the second character is in or near the trailer, he will interact with the other character as depicted above, only the other character will drive away in the vehicle he stole, rather than his default, but the default vehicle will still be parked and available for the other player to take it. |
||
+ | ***During the exile, both Michael and Trevor can access whatever vehicles are stored in the trailer's garage. |
||
+ | *If either Michael or Trevor attempt to enter Los Santos while in exile, they will receive a warning call from Martin, before endless waves of [[Madrazo Cartel]] gang members riding in first-generation [[Baller|Ballers]] and [[Cavalcade|Cavalcades]] spawn, and attempt to hunt them down until the protagonist retreats back to [[Blaine County]]. If either Michael or Trevor are [[Wasted|killed]] in Los Santos, they will respawn at the [[Sandy Shores Medical Center|hospital]] in Sandy Shores. If Michael or Trevor get [[Busted|arrested]] by the LSPD, they will spawn at a police station in Los Santos. Martin's Henchmen will attack them when the player spawns. Michael and Trevor can still enter the city safely by way of [[submersible]] (such as during the [[Nuclear Waste|nuclear waste collection]] side-mission), but using a boat (as in the [[Submarine Pieces|mission to collect submarine pieces]]) is risky as they may be shot at if they go too close to the shore. |
||
+ | *Michael and Trevor, however, can enter [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|Los Santos]] freely by '''air''' without being attacked. This is because Martin Madrazo's henchmen can only do ground attacks. They will only spawn if the player lands the aircraft, if they bail out while airborne or if they [[parachute]] into the city. |
||
+ | **The game will display a warning message if Trevor or Michael get too close to the city in advance of Martin's phone call or his men spawning, allowing a safe retreat. This also applies on the water. |
||
+ | **If the player gains a [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted level]] of three stars or more, Madrazo's men will retreat and the player will have to fight the [[Los Santos Police Department (HD Universe)|LSPD]] instead. Once the wanted level has been lost, Madrazo's men will return. |
||
+ | **Should the player approach an LSPD station while being pursued, police officers in the area will provide assistance and fire on the Cartel, provided that the player doesn't have a wanted level. [[Ballas (HD Universe)|Ballas]] and [[Los Santos Vagos (HD Universe)|Los Santos Vagos]] gang members, [[Ammu-Nation]] staff and [[Merryweather]] operatives at the [[Los Santos Naval Port]] will also engage gang members in gunfights if the player approaches these locations but will fire on the player if provoked. |
||
+ | **After the player leaves Los Santos, Martin will phone them again, saying that they expected the respective protagonist to have been killed by the Cartel. |
||
+ | ***The closest major location that Michael or Trevor can access without triggering the warning is the [[Galileo Observatory]], as one of Trevor's random locations (when being switched to) is near here. |
||
+ | *The Coyote Cross Country [[Triathlon]] can't be done during Michael and Trevor's exile as it goes through Blaine County and Los Santos. This also applies to Franklin for some reason as well. |
||
+ | *The next mission, "[[Minor Turbulence]]", does not trigger immediately afterwards. Franklin may need to wander around Los Santos for a bit before it appears. The mission "[[Deep Inside]]", however, is immediately available. Until "Minor Turbulence" is completed, however, the player cannot play as Michael or Trevor. |
||
+ | *Michael's wardrobe will be limited to a dirty gray suit, a white sleeveless shirt and the DLC extra clothes. However, the player can still buy clothes for Michael and those will appear in the wardrobe at Trevor's trailer. |
||
+ | *Though not a major problem, the player will be unable to quicksave the game via the phone as Michael or Trevor when they enter Los Santos unless they arrive in an aircraft and quicksave whilst still seated inside. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Deaths== |
||
+ | *[[Javier Madrazo]] - Killed by Trevor on orders from Martin Madrazo. |
||
+ | *The [[Javier Madrazo's pilot|pilot]] of the Shamal - Killed in the crash caused by Michael. |

==Trivia== |
==Trivia== |
||
− | *"Caida Libre" is Spanish for "free |
+ | *"Caida Libre" is Spanish for "free fall". |
+ | *While [[Trevor Philips|Trevor]] is chasing the descending plane, if the player passes [[Trevor's Trailer]], Trevor will say a random phrase towards [[Ron Jakowski|Ron]] (e.g. "''RON! You better be working!''" or "''How's business, Ronald?''"). |
||
− | [[Category:Missions]] |
||
+ | *In the [[Beta Releases in GTA V|beta version]], [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]] was supposed to fill Trevor's role, confirmed by a screenshot. When "Caida Libre" is unlocked, Franklin still receives a text from Michael instructing him to go to [[La Fuente Blanca|Madrazo's farm]]. However, no green mission icon appears and if Franklin goes there, he gets turned away (this could be an error that [[Rockstar Games]] forgot to remove). Michael's text actually indicates that Trevor is also being brought in for the job, suggesting all three protagonists might have been involved at some point. |
||
+ | *Originally, this mission was going to be called '''Vinewood Babylon'''. |
||
+ | *If the player (as Michael) jumps onto the truck bed before Trevor drives off, he will start insulting Michael with his usual lines for when he insults [[pedestrians]] ("''You hideous mistake''", etc.) until Michael gets off. The same applies if the player follows Trevor and performs a near miss as Michael. |
||
+ | *The [[Remote Sniper]] that Michael uses in the [[Burrito|van]] to take the plane down is similar to the weapon that Bruce Willis uses in the film ''{{WP|The Jackal (1997 film)|The Jackal}}''.<sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyXdB_AYiDs]</sup> The weapon may also be a reference to the 2003 film, ''{{WP|S.W.A.T. (film)|S.W.A.T.}}'', where an LAPD A109 is shot down by the antagonist, using a setup similar to the van. |
||
+ | *Michael can only use his [[Special Ability|special ability]] before the first successful shot. After this, it will be unavailable, even if it was fully charged previously. |
||
+ | *When Trevor says Michael was scouting the house for a heist, it is a reference to a cut beta heist known as the [[The Sharmoota Job]], where Michael and Trevor would dress as either clowns or mimes and steal Aztec artifacts from [[La Fuente Blanca|Madrazo's house]] and kidnap Patricia. |
||
+ | *The rifle Michael uses is located right next to [[Galileo Observatory]], yet when the player actually takes control of the weapon, the view through the electronic scope makes it appear to be atop [[Weazel Plaza]] in [[Rockford Hills]], a considerable distance away. Most obviously, the [[Interstate 2|Del Perro Freeway]] is visible in the bottom right of the screen after activating the rifle. |
||
+ | *It is not required to take the bike offered by the mission. The player can take any vehicle they want, despite the game saying to take the Sanchez. |
||
+ | *The Xbox One, PS4 and PC version have been patched to have Michael receive a call from Martin following the first mission for Solomon Richards, recruiting him and Franklin for the job. Michael tells Martin that he does not want to get Franklin involved but knows "another guy", referring to Trevor. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Bugs/Glitches== |
||
+ | *After the release of the [[GTA Online: After Hours|After Hours]] update, the script that requests the plane to use said livery did not work properly due to the removal of the Shamal's liveries and instead, the plane simply spawns with the [[MyFly]] livery. This also caused an inconsistency with the prop that appears when the plane crashes, as it retains the Air Emu livery. Editing the Shamal's texture database to restore the Air Emu livery, or restoring an older version of the textures results in the aircraft appearing as it was meant to appear originally. |
||
+ | **This has been patched in the [[GTA Online: Arena War|Arena War]] update, therefore the script works as normal. |

- Martin: "Some people... they no longer fear me as much as they used to. People who were close to me. My cousin... You met him, Michael. Well, apparently, he is thinking about testifying against me."
- Michael: "So have him killed."
- Martin: "I'm going to... By you."
- — Martin Madrazo, instructing Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.
Caida Libre is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given by Martin Madrazo to protagonists Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.
Description
Michael and Trevor are summoned to Madrazo's house in La Fuente Blanca, where Madrazo has a job for them. Madrazo's cousin Javier is going to testify against him; Madrazo wants Javier killed and sensitive documents retrieved.
The player takes control of Michael. Michael drives to the Galileo Observatory where Madrazo has left a black Burrito with a heavy rifle mounted in the rear. Michael must use the rifle to shoot down the Air Emu Shamal carrying Javier to Los Santos International Airport. The high-powered rifle uses a unique display that places a red square before the jet, showing the location where Michael must shoot in order to compensate for the distance if he is to hit the engine. The Shamal first appears in the upper left-hand quadrant of the rifle's display (when using the gun, the radar is hidden so it is very difficult to see the plane at first), then crosses left to right towards the airport. Michael must shoot the jet three times to take it out of the sky.
Once the aircraft has been damaged, the player is switched to Trevor. Riding a Sanchez, Trevor chases the fast descending jet from the Galileo Observatory through Great Chaparral, Harmony and Sandy Shores. While the player has some freedom over what path to use, the pursuit does feature at least one jump that Trevor must successfully make in order to keep up with the plane. Once the aircraft crashes, Trevor must kill Javier and retrieve the sensitive documents contained onboard the Shamal.
After Trevor has obtained the documents, the player is switched once again to Michael. Michael takes the van from the area surrounding Galileo Observatory, then destroys the vehicle. Afterwards, Michael is about to make his way to La Fuente Blanca in order to meet up with Trevor, and give the documents to Madrazo. However, Michael receives a phone call from Trevor revealing that he has other ideas. Trevor asks Michael to meet him instead at Stoner Cement Works, north of La Fuente Blanca along Senora Road. Trevor arrives soon after Michael. Trevor states that he went to discuss payment with Madrazo, which led to an argument. Trevor then opens the trunk of his vehicle to reveal he has kidnapped Madrazo's wife Patricia. With Patricia tied up, Michael and Trevor leave the cement works and go into hiding at Sandy Shores.
The player is automatically switched to Franklin after the mission is completed.
Mission Objectives
- Go to the observatory. - (Michael)
- Get in the van. - (Michael)
- Shoot the plane's engine. - (Michael)

- Meet Trevor at the cement works. - (Michael)
Gold Medal Objectives
- Floor It - Reach top speed on the Sanchez.
- Performing wheelies increases speed.
- Glued to the Seat - Don't fall off the Sanchez during the chase.
- Self-explanatory. Note that even exiting the Sanchez on purpose will fail this objective.
- One Two Three - Shoot down the plane with 3 shots only.
- Using Michael's special ability for the first shot can help pass this achievement (for the two later shots it is unavailable).
- Mission Time - Complete the mission in 9:45
- Skip all cutscenes. The Fusilade[1][2] in the driveway can be used to help achieve this, as it is faster than Michael's Premier. Otherwise, locate a helicopter (easy to obtain at the end of Mr. Richards) and fly to Madrazo's house as Michael. The helicopter will spawn at the left path of the parking lot. This is recomended to go to the Observatory since it is the fastest way.

- @jillsthenewblack - "Plane crash in Senora Desert either engine malfunction or really lame suicide bomber. TOO SOON???? ;)"
- @manolodeoro2 - "Anyone know the deal with Javier? The hijo de puta won't answer my calls or emails."
Consequences
- Following this mission and until Monkey Business is completed, Martin Madrazo will send his henchmen to attempt to kill Michael or Trevor if they enter Los Santos. This notification (see picture on the right) is the game's final warning before these henchmen spawn, giving the player time to escape.
- Michael and Trevor are both exiled from Los Santos, and Michael's mansion will be locked while Floyd's Apartment will no longer be available as a safehouse for Trevor. Michael's garage in Vinewood and Trevor's garage in Pillbox Hill can still be accessed, but at the risk of being attacked by Martin Madrazo's henchmen.
- The exile also affects any side-missions located in Los Santos. Because of this, any that aren't yet completed will have to be postponed until later in the game.
- If Michael enters Los Santos while exiled from the city, his red Premier will still be located at his mansion even though his mansion will still be locked.
- If the player switches to Trevor, he will sometimes be located at Pacific Bluffs or Vinewood Hills.
- Michael must use Trevor's Trailer as a safehouse. This creates a rare situation in the game where both playable main characters will be in the same vicinity while not on a mission, without the player having to orchestrate the circumstances. Their interactions will be unfriendly and the AI-controlled character will soon leave the vicinity. If the AI-controlled character gets into a vehicle's driver seat, the player-controlled character can enter that vehicle's passenger seat before the AI drives off, then the player can instantly switch to the driver and go for a drive with both characters and watch the argument between them. If the vehicle stops at any point, the character in the passenger seat will exit and walk off.
- Due to Trevor and Michael spawning so close to each other, the game's mechanism in which the AI-controlled character automatically asks the player-controlled character if they want to hang out is temporarily disabled. This goes for Franklin as well; if Franklin goes out to Sandy Shores and encounters Trevor or Michael, they'll exchange pleasantries, but the AI-controlled character will indicate they're busy and leave the area. Similarly, the three protagonists can no longer phone each other and ask to hang out.
- This also creates a unique situation in which Trevor or Michael are able to obtain each other's default vehicles. For this to happen, leave the character's default vehicle parked in front of the trailer and leave the vicinity and steal another vehicle. Return to the trailer where the default vehicle should still spawn. Park and exit the new vehicle and then switch to the other character. If the second character is in or near the trailer, he will interact with the other character as depicted above, only the other character will drive away in the vehicle he stole, rather than his default, but the default vehicle will still be parked and available for the other player to take it.
- During the exile, both Michael and Trevor can access whatever vehicles are stored in the trailer's garage.
- If either Michael or Trevor attempt to enter Los Santos while in exile, they will receive a warning call from Martin, before endless waves of Madrazo Cartel gang members riding in first-generation Ballers and Cavalcades spawn, and attempt to hunt them down until the protagonist retreats back to Blaine County. If either Michael or Trevor are killed in Los Santos, they will respawn at the hospital in Sandy Shores. If Michael or Trevor get arrested by the LSPD, they will spawn at a police station in Los Santos. Martin's Henchmen will attack them when the player spawns. Michael and Trevor can still enter the city safely by way of submersible (such as during the nuclear waste collection side-mission), but using a boat (as in the mission to collect submarine pieces) is risky as they may be shot at if they go too close to the shore.
- Michael and Trevor, however, can enter Los Santos freely by air without being attacked. This is because Martin Madrazo's henchmen can only do ground attacks. They will only spawn if the player lands the aircraft, if they bail out while airborne or if they parachute into the city.
- The game will display a warning message if Trevor or Michael get too close to the city in advance of Martin's phone call or his men spawning, allowing a safe retreat. This also applies on the water.
- If the player gains a wanted level of three stars or more, Madrazo's men will retreat and the player will have to fight the LSPD instead. Once the wanted level has been lost, Madrazo's men will return.
- Should the player approach an LSPD station while being pursued, police officers in the area will provide assistance and fire on the Cartel, provided that the player doesn't have a wanted level. Ballas and Los Santos Vagos gang members, Ammu-Nation staff and Merryweather operatives at the Los Santos Naval Port will also engage gang members in gunfights if the player approaches these locations but will fire on the player if provoked.
- After the player leaves Los Santos, Martin will phone them again, saying that they expected the respective protagonist to have been killed by the Cartel.
- The closest major location that Michael or Trevor can access without triggering the warning is the Galileo Observatory, as one of Trevor's random locations (when being switched to) is near here.
- The Coyote Cross Country Triathlon can't be done during Michael and Trevor's exile as it goes through Blaine County and Los Santos. This also applies to Franklin for some reason as well.
- The next mission, "Minor Turbulence", does not trigger immediately afterwards. Franklin may need to wander around Los Santos for a bit before it appears. The mission "Deep Inside", however, is immediately available. Until "Minor Turbulence" is completed, however, the player cannot play as Michael or Trevor.
- Michael's wardrobe will be limited to a dirty gray suit, a white sleeveless shirt and the DLC extra clothes. However, the player can still buy clothes for Michael and those will appear in the wardrobe at Trevor's trailer.
- Though not a major problem, the player will be unable to quicksave the game via the phone as Michael or Trevor when they enter Los Santos unless they arrive in an aircraft and quicksave whilst still seated inside.
Deaths
- Javier Madrazo - Killed by Trevor on orders from Martin Madrazo.
- The pilot of the Shamal - Killed in the crash caused by Michael.

Trivia
- "Caida Libre" is Spanish for "free fall".
- While Trevor is chasing the descending plane, if the player passes Trevor's Trailer, Trevor will say a random phrase towards Ron (e.g. "RON! You better be working!" or "How's business, Ronald?").
- In the beta version, Franklin was supposed to fill Trevor's role, confirmed by a screenshot. When "Caida Libre" is unlocked, Franklin still receives a text from Michael instructing him to go to Madrazo's farm. However, no green mission icon appears and if Franklin goes there, he gets turned away (this could be an error that Rockstar Games forgot to remove). Michael's text actually indicates that Trevor is also being brought in for the job, suggesting all three protagonists might have been involved at some point.
- Originally, this mission was going to be called Vinewood Babylon.
- If the player (as Michael) jumps onto the truck bed before Trevor drives off, he will start insulting Michael with his usual lines for when he insults pedestrians ("You hideous mistake", etc.) until Michael gets off. The same applies if the player follows Trevor and performs a near miss as Michael.
- The Remote Sniper that Michael uses in the van to take the plane down is similar to the weapon that Bruce Willis uses in the film The Jackal.[1] The weapon may also be a reference to the 2003 film, S.W.A.T., where an LAPD A109 is shot down by the antagonist, using a setup similar to the van.
- Michael can only use his special ability before the first successful shot. After this, it will be unavailable, even if it was fully charged previously.
- When Trevor says Michael was scouting the house for a heist, it is a reference to a cut beta heist known as the The Sharmoota Job, where Michael and Trevor would dress as either clowns or mimes and steal Aztec artifacts from Madrazo's house and kidnap Patricia.
- The rifle Michael uses is located right next to Galileo Observatory, yet when the player actually takes control of the weapon, the view through the electronic scope makes it appear to be atop Weazel Plaza in Rockford Hills, a considerable distance away. Most obviously, the Del Perro Freeway is visible in the bottom right of the screen after activating the rifle.
- It is not required to take the bike offered by the mission. The player can take any vehicle they want, despite the game saying to take the Sanchez.
- The Xbox One, PS4 and PC version have been patched to have Michael receive a call from Martin following the first mission for Solomon Richards, recruiting him and Franklin for the job. Michael tells Martin that he does not want to get Franklin involved but knows "another guy", referring to Trevor.
Bugs/Glitches
- After the release of the After Hours update, the script that requests the plane to use said livery did not work properly due to the removal of the Shamal's liveries and instead, the plane simply spawns with the MyFly livery. This also caused an inconsistency with the prop that appears when the plane crashes, as it retains the Air Emu livery. Editing the Shamal's texture database to restore the Air Emu livery, or restoring an older version of the textures results in the aircraft appearing as it was meant to appear originally.
- This has been patched in the Arena War update, therefore the script works as normal.
