Find a man named Alonzo in the Galveston projects, scare him into telling you where Teddy Benavidez lives, then fight up to the 20th floor and take Teddy out. You earn $8,500.

Before you start

After Alonzo talks, you can spare him or kill him. Nothing is lost either way. If you spare him, he warns Teddy and the gunmen on the 20th floor attack the moment you arrive. If you kill him, those gunmen do not know you are coming and take a little longer to react. Do not kill Alonzo before he has told you what you need, or the mission fails.

A Long Way to Fall walkthrough

Get to the projects

Ray sends you after a man who owes him money. Right after the talk, your phone buzzes with a text from Ray that includes a photo of Alonzo, one of Ray’s own men who knows where the debtor lives. Take a cab or a car to the projects on Galveston Avenue. The objective tells you to use the text message to spot Alonzo.

Niko walks into the courtyard with the objective to use Ray's text to find Alonzo.

Find and scare Alonzo

Alonzo hangs around the courtyard in front of the tower. He wears a number 72 jersey, so compare the photo on your phone with the people nearby. Walk up and pull a gun on him. Hold the aim until he talks. He claims not to know Teddy at first, then gives in and warns you that the elevator does not reach the top, so the last floors are on foot.

Take the elevator up

Go into the building and take the elevator. It only goes part of the way, because the upper floors are being repaired. Climb the rest on foot through the boarded-up section, where hard hat warnings are posted. The objective points to Teddy Benavidez’s apartment on the 20th floor.

Niko walks down a hallway with the objective about the elevator.

Clear the floors

Teddy’s gunmen wait in the corridors, and they open fire fast. Use cover, stay at the corners and fire short bursts. Take your time and watch the radar for red dots. Work through the hallway toward the apartment, and shoot anyone who steps out of a doorway. Search the apartment, because the objective says Teddy must be somewhere inside.

Chase Teddy

Teddy bursts out of a room, slams a door into Niko and runs. The objective changes to taking him out, and then he heads for the roof. Follow him up the stairs, past any gunmen waiting on the way. Do not stop to collect weapons, because he is a few steps ahead.

Stop Teddy on the roof

Teddy runs out of room at the edge of the roof. You do not need to empty a magazine. Any hit, whether it is a shot, a punch or a thrown object, is enough. Once it is done, take the stairs down and leave the building.

Niko walks across the roof of the building.
Niko aims a pistol at Teddy as he stands at the roof edge.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • You kill Alonzo before he has been intimidated.

After the mission

Ray pays $8,500, and Niko tells him by phone that the job is done. Taking in the Trash opens if Three Leaf Clover is done. If you also finished Smackdown, the Alderney safehouse and Babysitting open too, and Stevie’s Car Thefts follows once No. 1 is done.

Niko walks away from the building across a plaza.
