Burning Bridges is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug kingpins Diego and Armando Mendez from their mansion on Prawn Island, Vice City.
Mission[]
Lance and Victor Vance go to the Mendez mansion and are told by Armando and Diego that they are free, as long as they leave Vice City and give their assets to them. Lance and Victor refuse and are attacked by Mendez goons, one of them knocks Vic out with the butt of his gun, and Juan Ovzem comes running out of the other room, and knocks Lance out with a baseball bat. They are taken to the airport fuel depot, stripped of their weapons, and are placed beside three oil and gas tankers.
They are then attacked by four Mendez goons who accidentally shoot one of the tankers, causing it to explode, burning them all alive in the process. Victor escapes the area, shooting the other tankers to blow up the place and killing the remaining goons, as he escapes on a PCJ-600, whilst Lance manages to escape in the ensuing chaos. The two meet up shortly after and decide to split up, realizing that they are now the enemies of the Mendez Cartel. After this Victor realizes Mendez's betrayal and cuts his ties with them.

Trivia[]
- If the player escapes the fuel depot using the provided PCJ-600, Lance says “WOOO-WEEE! Now that’s what I’m talking about!” However, if they move into the escape marker on foot, Lance and Vic will run out of there and Lance has a different sounding “woo-wee!” as well as another line, saying “I never doubted you, Vic.”
- The surrendered weapons can be retrieved during the mission. When Mendez's goons start the fire, after the objective "Find your way back inside the fuel depot" appears, a ramp with armor and a pistol can be found. Heading in the opposite direction of the ramp will lead to a car and all the player's weapons on the ground, ready to be picked up.
