Lance’s plan

Go to the hotel at 1412 Hoarmount Avenue and meet Lance in his room. Vic says he is finished with the drug business, but Lance explains he knows how to get one big shipment, free, to pay for what Pete needs. Vic stays unconvinced until Lance reveals that the cocaine belongs to Jerry Martinez, and then he agrees. Lance says he has even arranged some insurance, and the two of you leave the hotel.

To the docks

Get into the car and drive to the docks in Little Haiti. Lance briefs you as you drive: Martinez is bringing in the shipment, and you are going to take it. Park by the marker and get out. Lance goes ahead to look around and tells you to make sure the way out is clear.

Protecting the trucks

Gang members arrive in force. Stay near Lance and the trucks, and kill the gang members as they come in. Pick off anyone who gets close to the trucks. When the area is clear, Lance tells you to take the other truck and follow him.

Following Lance

Get into the truck and follow Lance’s truck. He drives fast and does not wait, so stay behind him. The Don’t lose Lance! warning appears if you fall back, and the mission fails if you get too far away. There is no traffic along the route.

The South Bridge

On the South Bridge a helicopter opens fire on the trucks. Keep your speed up, do not stop, and keep close to Lance. After the bridge you arrive in Ocean Beach, where a cutscene shows the brothers outside Lance’s new place.
