Post mission phone call
Ricardo Diaz: Tommy, is Ricardo Diaz, I want to thank you for looking out for me my man. I ask that prick Cortez, he say you the real deal, my friend, why you not come see me. I need a guy like you. All I have now is dickheads, dickheads everywhere, yo. I make you really rich.
Tips
- Obtaining a Sub-Machine Gun, such as an Uzi, can make the mission easier to complete as it allows the player to perform drive-bys on the fleeing Haitians.
- It is better to wait until the Haitians have left the alley and returned to the road before attempting to retrieve the briefcases, as the narrow alley may cause the Haitians to crash and damage the bikes, as an explosion may destroy the briefcases.
Reward
The reward for completing this mission is $1000 and the mission The Chase is unlocked. The player can also now access Starfish Island.
Trivia
- Diaz's Admiral is bullet, fire, explosion, and damage proof. The player can obtain it by failing the mission by killing Diaz, his men, or the Cubans (to break the deal up) and then stealing it. The car can be obtained without failing the mission by quickly running to the direction Diaz left. The vehicle will be there with all its properties untouched. This Admiral also has a unique shade of light grey.
- In the iOS version of this mission, when the Haitians steal Diaz' money, he orders Tommy and Lance to chase him down. But the word "Haitian" during this dialogue is censored.
