“

Say goodnight, Mr. Diaz!

”

— Lance's last words to Ricardo Diaz.

Rub Out is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Lance Vance from outside Ricardo Diaz's mansion on Starfish Island, Vice City.

Description

After Lance Vance attempted to kill Ricardo Diaz, Tommy and Lance need to kill him before he can attack them. They meet on the bridge to Starfish Island, with Lance providing Tommy with an M4 Carbine. They enter Diaz's Mansion and manage to shoot their way through the mansions gardens. They enter the mansion through the back door, next to an indoor pool, and shoot their way through the hallways. They eventually reach the main hall where Diaz is waiting, having spotted them entering his property through CCTV.

Diaz has eight guards as protection but they, along with Diaz himself, are killed. Diaz manages to crawl to the top of the stairs and claims to have trusted Tommy, before Tommy and Lance kill him.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

Kill Diaz

Glitches

On the iPad version, a glitch may occur causing Lance to shoot Diaz during the cutscene where Diaz exits his office.
If the player infiltrates the mansion via the roof, they will not encounter any guards until they reach the hall.

Reward

The reward for completing this mission is $50,000 and the missions Love Juice, Shakedown and Check Out At The Check In are unlocked. The player can now save their game at Diaz's mansion (now renamed the Vercetti Estate) and store vehicles in the garage.

Trivia

This is one of two missions (the other being The Job) to have a reward payout higher than the final mission.
The mission is very similar to a scene in the cult classic film Scarface, which had a drug lord (Frank Lopez), who is similar to Diaz, gunned down by his former comrades after betraying them (Tony Montana, the protagonist and Manny Ribera, a close friend of Tony) in his headquarters, as his former comrades take over his crippled empire after his death.
Following this mission, the Diaz gang will only be encountered in Firefighter and Vigilante missions.

+*'''Mr. Black''': Get to the payphone at the airport terminal.
-*This mission and [[The Job]] are the only missions in the Grand Theft Auto series where the monetary reward is higher than that of the [[Climax|final mission]]. However, the reward can be somewhat seen as compensation for the previous mission "[[Death Row]]", which had no payout despite being one of the most difficult in the game.
-*Strangely, Diaz holds his SMG with two hands, while the player holds an SMG with one hand.
+===Phone Call 2===
-*The mission is very similar to a scene in the cult classic film [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarface_(1983_film) Scarface], which had a drug lord (Frank Lopez), who is similar to Diaz, gunned down by his former comrades after betraying them (Tony Montana, the protagonist and Manny Ribera, a close friend of Tony) in his headquarters, as his former comrades take over his crippled empire after his death.

-*Lance's white [[Infernus]] is absent in the weapons cutscene, most likely because it does not have sufficient trunk space to transport the [[M4 Carbine|carbines]]. Instead, a blue [[Stallion]] is used.
-*After the death of [[Diaz' Gang]], they didn't exist in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] anymore. You can find them in the [[Vigilante]] mission, even though they were wiped out.
