Victor Vance goes to meet Lance Vance outside the Hyman Memorial Stadium, only to find Bryan Forbes instead.
Forbes: Victor V. What's popping, partner?
Victor: What?
Forbes: What's popping?
Victor: What the fuck are you talking about?
Forbes: Isn't that what you guys say: what's popping?
Victor: Uh, think that must be Lance.
Vic checks behind Forbes to see if there's anyone following them.
Forbes: What?
Victor: You got everything sorted? No trouble?
Forbes: Of course. Hey, I was just giving you shit, you know?
Victor: Yeah, whatever.
Forbes: Great, great. Here's your brother. What's popping, baby?
Lance: You!
Lance pulls out a revolver and points it at Forbes.
Victor: Lance, what's going on?
Lance: You're a freaking cop! You think you can mess with Lance T. Vance, you punk?
Forbes: Hey, chill.
Lance: Chill?!
Lance fires a warning shot.
Forbes: Yes...you're right, I am a cop. I was gonna tell you. I need money, I wanna work with you guys... I ain't gonna bust you.
Lance: Not now you ain't. I'm gonna bust you!
Forbes punches Lance and makes a run for it. Vic and Lance go after him.
Victor: Let's go!
Lance: I am going!
Forbes drives away in his Stinger, while Vic and Lance get into a nearby car to chase him down.
Lance: Get him, Vic! We gotta find out what he knows.
Vic and Lance ram Forbes' car and pop the trunk open, revealing money that flies from the trunk onto the pavement for civilians to grab.
Lance: Aw, man, that's our money! Get him!
Victor: What the hell is our money doing in there?
Lance: You never know when you're gonna need a few grand...
Vic pulls Forbes out of his car.
Lance: I got a place where we can take him, come on.
Vic and Lance take Forbes to an abandoned apartment in Little Haiti, where he's tied in a chair and wearing a bag over his head.
Victor: I don't know about this, Lance.
Lance: It's either this, or kill him. What do you think, Forbes?
Forbes: Uh, I definitely prefer it this way.
Lance: We'll let him sweat for a while. We'll be back... you sit tight, buddy.

Trivia[]

  • Lance, in the beginning cutscene, is using a .357 instead of the Equalizer, which is the only available Colt Python in the game.
  • It is possible to stop Forbes before the money starts flying out of his car's trunk, but the news report will still mention money being thrown out of his car.
