Go to meet the blackmailer. When you arrive at the viewpoint, Francis will send a text message containing the phone number of the blackmailer, and you must call this number and look out for a person answering their phone, so that you know which person to kill. Keep talking to the blackmailer until you identify him. When you get close, you will hear his voice reverberate through the air and through the phone, so listen for the double echo to know who the guy is. When you find him, kill him and collect the photos. The attack triggers the [[LCPD | Police]], so you need to evade the 2 star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV | Wanted Level]].

So you look out for me and I don't look out for you. Know what I mean?

Call and Collect is the first mission provided to Niko Bellic by Francis McReary.

Description

Francis anonymously asks Niko to meet him on a pier at the south end of Algonquin. He says that he "knows a lot about Niko", including Niko killing Mikhail Faustin, and that the Russian Mafia wants him dead, so he wants Niko to "look out for him, so he don't have to look out for Niko". Francis says that there is a man who is threatening to expose to the press, proof that Francis committed acts of corruption, unless Francis pays him to be quiet. Francis wants Niko to find this blackmailer, and retrive the photos that he have against him.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Go to the viewpoint off Union Drive East
  • Look out for the blackmailer, he's using his cell phone
  • That's the blackmailer. Take him down
  • Pick up the storage device
  • Lose your wanted level
  • Take the photographs on the storage device to Francis

Walkthrough

Go meet the blackmailer, who will be waiting in a pier on Humboldt River off Silicon Street. Francis will send a text message containing the phone number of the blackmailer as soon as Niko reach his location. The player now must call this number and look out for a person answering their phone, so that he know which person to kill.

The player can call the blackmailer two times and have two long conversations to identify him, if the player gets close to the blackmailer, he will hear his voice reverberate through the air and through the phone, so listen for the double echo to know who the guy is. At the end of the second conversation, the man will try to escape, so watch out for someone running away and use a Carbine Rifle or a Sniper Rifle to kill him before he gets too far. He will always try to escape by running to the right side of the pier.

Ultimately, once the player have found and killed the blackmailer, collect the storage device that he will drop and evade the 2 star wanted level. After that, take the photos back to Francis in North Holland.

Tips

  • Because the player is so close to a river, he can jump into the river and swim out of the wanted range. Either the police can't see him in the water, or simply don't want to follow him. Either way, it's an easy way to lose the wanted status quickly. (Amazingly, the storage device is completely unharmed.)
  • If the player push the Blackmailer into the water and then kill him, Niko will tell Francis over the phone that he is unable to give him the photos, but note that they are buried in the river. The mission ends with this call, so there is a cutscene afterwards.

Trivia

  • During the conversations with the blackmailer, he will mention Tom Goldberg, the lawyer Niko must assassinate in the nest mission for Francis.
  • The storage device says 300GB, which would make it impossible to have so many photos (over 2,000). Also, USB storage devices never had so much space, as they are usually around 4GB or more.
