There goes my careful planning blown to shit, thanks to you! You screwed up real good, Lance!

Death Row is the first and final mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Malibu Club member Kent Paul. Technically speaking, while Paul is your "employer", he is not paying you and he is only providing the bad news.

Lance Vance tried to kill Ricardo Diaz on his own but has failed and Diaz has captured him. Now Diaz's people are torturing Lance in the Junkyard....

Trivia

  • The song heard during the opening cutscene in the Malibu Club is "All Night Long" by Mary Jane Girls. It is also been featured on the radio station Fever 105.
  • After Lance is dropped off at the hospital, he wields a Micro SMG while walking in.

Walkthrough

This is perhaps the most difficult mission in the whole game. Pick-up some Body Armor and heavy weapons before accepting the mission. Time is essence here, so you will need a fast vehicle. One method for speed through traffic without delay or damage to your vehicle would be to use a FBI Washington with it's sirens on. The sirens would make it easy to clear roadways while speeding to Vance's location.

Head to the junkyard and you'll face a barricade at the gate, and if your car start spewing smoke when they start firing, there's a good chance it'll catch fire and roll out the way as it plows to their cars, causing mass destruction and saving yourself. This is quite difficult to engineer, however. A more sure-fire method is to pull in at the left side of the road just before the barricade and snipe their cars until they explode and take out the guards around them.

One recommendation is to go through the back of the junkyard, and get on top of the trash pile, as this gives you an excellent vantage point to fire down on the baddies. Make sure you're ready in battling them, as they will engage you with Rugers and Uzis in the gunfight. While the killed Diaz gang members drop lots of money, don't go out of your way to pickup the cash, and remember that Lance's health is dropping steadily. Run towards the yellow marker and reach for Lance. All that remains is to activate a little cutscene. Afterward, stay in front of Lance to shield him from any remaining goons, as he can only take a couple bullets before dying.

As you exit the junkyard, Diaz's men in four Comets will come after you as you try to deliver Lance to the Schuman Health Care Center. If you took the Sentinel, it is recommended that you back into the junkyard to trap a couple Comets there, then accelerate forward as they try to get back their bearings, since the Sentinel won't be able to outrun the agile and fast Comets in a straight chase. Alternatively, if you take the Trashmaster, it can withstand lots of punishment.

There are other variations in completing this mission, although none of them are are foolproof. A motorcycle (preferably a Freeway for the ruggedness and speed) is effective at quickly getting to Lance's shed (once you've eliminated the barricade, ignore the others in the junkyard) and it is fast enough to outrun the Comets; however if a tire gets punctured or if the motorcycle gets knocked down, you'll have to restart the mission. Landing a helicopter by Lance's shed also enables you to avoid most of the junkyard thugs. After this Tommy cuts his ties with Diaz.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Lance is being held at the junk yard. Go and rescue him
  • Get Lance to the hospital
  • Diaz's guys are after you! Get Lance to the hospital

Post mission phone call

Colonel Juan Cortez: Tommy, Thomas it's Cortez. Look, the French are giving me all kinds of trouble, amigo. Damn hyprocrites. They spend a hundred years stealing from poor countries and they call me a thief! I am going to need your help as soon as possible, amigo. So please hurry, Tommy, I need you, all right? I hate the damn French.
