'''Uncle Vlad''' is a [[Missions in GTA IV|mission]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. In this mission, the player is introduced to [[Executions|executions]], a type of assassination which displays a cutscene, if a [[pistol]] is used.
 
āˆ’

==Description==
 
After [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] and [[Roman Bellic|his cousin Roman]] discovered that local Russian criminal [[Vladimir Glebov]] was sleeping with [[Mallorie Bardas|Roman's girlfriend]], Niko pressured Roman into going with him to kill Vlad. Roman believes this is a bad idea, as [[Mikhail Faustin]], Vlad's boss, may kill Niko and Roman in retaliation.
 
āˆ’  
Niko and Roman drive to [[Comrades Bar]]. Niko confronts Vlad, who escapes out the back door of the bar and drives away in his [[Marbelle]], leaving Niko to fight his two goons. Niko kills or evades the goons and then gives chase in his own car, eventually cornering Vlad on the eastern shore of the [[Humboldt River]], and [[Executions|shooting him in the head]] at point blank range. However, Roman thinks that killing Vlad may make his goons kill Niko and Roman. But, Niko confronts Roman and says that everything would be fine.
 
āˆ’  
Roman flees, eventually hiding in a dumpster on Tulsa St, [[Broker]], thinking that it would be a good hiding spot from Mikhail Faustin, Vlad's boss.

Roman becomes aware that Mallorie has been secretly going on dates with [[Vladimir Glebov|Vlad]]. Naturally he's upset, and Niko wants to go to the [[Comrades Bar]] and deal with him directly.

It is a good idea to drive to Roman's cab depot in a fast car when you go to receive this mission, as you will likely need it. Either a very fast car or one with very good handling is recommended for this mission, and for that matter all missions that involve a car chase.

Once the [[cutscene]] is over, either get into your fast car or the [[Roman's Taxi]] which now appears in the garage (and which will serve nicely if you don't have something else). Drive to the Comrades Bar to confront Vlad.

āˆ’
Vlad runs out the back door. Take out his goons with a [[Pistol|small gun]] (or push them down to the ground quickly and continue running) then head out the front door; Vlad will drive past as you get in your car so it saves time. Try not to have the shotgun armed while running, as you'll go slower.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
Vlad had a getaway car stowed around back, and now he takes off. Get into your own car and chase him down.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
Follow Vlad as he winds through the streets of [[Hove Beach]]. Once he gets to the docks, Vlad will crash his car and run away. The chase stops because the [[Humboldt River|river]] in front of Vlad blocks him from escaping any further. Niko orders Roman to stay. Get your pistol out and confront Vlad Glebov.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
After the cutscene, you're prompted to [[Executions|execute]] Vlad. Vlad tells Niko that his friends will find him, but Niko shoots Vlad in the eye, killing him.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
There is a long cutscene where Roman confronts Niko after he kills Vlad. Niko then tells Roman about the war, whenĀ [[Darko Brevic|one]] of the men Niko was with betrayed their [[Fifteen Man Squad|group]] ten years ago, leaving twelve of the fifteen men dead. Niko then tells Roman thatĀ [[Florian Cravic|one]] of the two men he was with now lives in Liberty City. Roman leaves, while Niko dumps Vlad's body into the river.

* Vlad will tell Niko that if he kills him, Niko will be throwing his and Roman's lives away for "that piece of Puerto Rican chocha". "Chocha" or "Chocho" are vulgar Spanish slang terms for vagina.

* During this mission, when Niko enters theĀ [[Comrades Bar]], the bartender, [[Mickey (GTA IV)|Mickey]], can be killed; however, this has no impact on the storyline of the game.

* Walking away instead of killing Vlad will fail the mission.
 
* Vlad will wait outside the bar indefinitely until the player exits, though the game will continue to prompt you to chase him.
 
* This is the only time that Vlad appears outside of cutscenes, mostly because you have to kill him. This is the [[The Master and the Molotov|same]] for Mikhail Faustin.
 
* If you push Vlad in the river then kill him in the water, the cutscene will show Niko pulling Vlad in the water.

* After you kill Vlad and the cutscene shows Niko dumping him, his body will disappear, and is nowhere to be seen in the [[Humboldt River|river]]Ā where it was dumped.
 
* Niko most likely knew about the affair from the previous mission when Vlad talks on the phone and when Niko leaves, he calls "Gorgeous" (Most likely Mallorie) back and says "Let's talk about tonight." It's highly possible thatĀ Vlad's phone call lead to the events of this mission.

Roman Bellic: You have, you have, but I mean officially. I need more drivers for the cab company. I'll pay you properly.
Niko Bellic: Okay then.
Roman Bellic: Just call me whenever you want to take a fare. You can do as many as you like, Niko. There are always more customers.
Call ends.

All boys from the village. But one of us betrayed the group. It was a setup... for money! Twelve people died, three escaped. I know the traitor was not me... So for ten years I've been searching for the other two. One of them lives here.
Roman Bellic: Why are you telling me this now? Do you always get sentimental after you kill people?
Niko Bellic: You kept asking...
Roman Bellic: Wonderful! You're here on some revenge mission for something that happened ten years age. And you don't care whose life you ruin on the way?
Niko Bellic: No.
Roman Bellic: Well what?
Niko Bellic: I don't know... I just want to know why they did it.
Roman Bellic: Right now I don't think you're going to find out. Let's hide the body, at least for a while.
Niko Bellic: Put him in the river...
Roman Bellic: Mikhail Faustin is going to kill us. Shit. We should get out of here.
Niko Bellic: You go. I'll catch up with you later.
