Babysitting walkthrough

Go to Kim’s boat

Meet Derrick on the LCPA Dock. A cutscene ends with you at the wheel of a green Squalo and Derrick in the seat beside you. The objective sends you out into the water toward Kim’s boat, off the northern tip of Alderney. The route is open water, so just steer for the blip and keep the speed up. Nothing attacks you yet.

The speedboat races across open water past rocky shoreline toward the first objective.
A small boat appears on the horizon ahead of the speedboat on the river.

Derrick talks the whole way. When you pull up, a short scene shows Kim’s boat, a white and green Reefer, and Derrick promising to text him a safe route into the city. Your job from here is to keep that boat alive.

Niko and Derrick sit in the speedboat behind a larger green and white vessel.
The speedboat trails another boat up the river with the Follow Kim objective showing.

Escort Kim up the river

The new objective says Follow Kim. His boat moves at a steady pace and you have to stay close behind it. Race ahead and the mission fails, and so does falling too far back. Ease off the throttle and sit a short distance behind his stern, and use the radar to see where he is going. The blip for Kim is teal.

The speedboat holds a steady gap behind the lead boat on the river.
The lead boat is visible a short way ahead as the speedboat follows along the water.

Near the Northwood Heights Bridge, red dots appear on the radar. These are rival boats coming in from the sides to grab Kim’s cargo, and the text changes to Stay close to Kim’s boat. Protect him from the attackers. You can stand on the deck of the Squalo with a prompt, which hands the wheel to Derrick and lets you shoot with your SMG.

Rival boats close in on the river as the objective Protect him from the attackers appears, with red dots on the radar.
The speedboat runs toward a bridge while the escort continues up the river.

Aim for the engines at the back of each boat. A few rounds make them burn and blow up, and the driver goes with them. The boats come one or two at a time, so pick the closest one to Kim first. If one gets near his hull, shoot it before anything else.

Niko stands in the speedboat firing at a rival boat beside a steel bridge.
The speedboat banks hard while enemy boats show as red dots on the radar.
Rival boats sit ahead on the river below a large crane.

Shoot down the helicopter

As you pass under the East Borough Bridge, a Maverick helicopter swings in and chases Kim. Derrick tells you there is a rocket launcher in the back. Stand on the deck, take the RPG and wait for the helicopter to come close. The objective turns to Use the rocket launcher to shoot down the chopper.

A helicopter circles over a bridge ahead while the speedboat speeds along the river.
A helicopter hovers above the river and the subtitle mentions a rocket launcher on board.

You have five rockets. Put the crosshair on the helicopter as it passes over the water and fire. Rockets travel in a straight line, so lead it a little. One or two direct hits bring it down. Once it is gone, Derrick takes over the driving again, so keep your attention on the remaining boats.

Niko aims the rocket launcher at a helicopter above the boat while Derrick drives.
Niko holds the rocket launcher at the back of the speedboat beside Kim's fishing boat.

Finish the trip to Industrial

Clear any boats still shooting at Kim. After that the objective goes back to Follow Kim, and you drive the last stretch down the river toward the docks in Industrial. Keep the same distance as before. Do not shoot at Kim’s boat, and do not run into it.

The speedboat cuts alongside Kim's white boat on the river.
The speedboat follows across calm water with a bridge in the distance.
The speedboat heads along the river toward the industrial waterfront.

Slow down as the dock comes into view so you do not overshoot it. When Kim ties up, Derrick and Niko step out to meet the men waiting there, and a cutscene ends the mission. You can leave the Squalo at the dock.

The speedboat passes under a concrete overpass with the Industrial area name on screen.
The speedboat turns toward a dock as the run ends.

What fails this mission

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

  • Kim’s boat is destroyed
  • Kim is killed
  • Derrick is killed
  • The Squalo is destroyed
  • You get too far ahead of Kim or fall too far behind him

After the mission

You get $7,000. The RPG now shows up in the Underground Gun Shops, so you can buy more rockets. Derrick’s next job, Tunnel of Death, is now open at Acter Park. If you have also finished Entourage, Dining Out opens too.
