Ransom walkthrough

Catalina strikes

Back at the construction site, you find the bodies of Asuka and Miguel. Catalina has been here. She has taken Maria and left a note: she has your precious Maria, and if you do not want her face to look like she fell out with the butcher, bring $500,000 to the villa at Cedar Grove.

The mission ends as soon as the scene finishes, and the $45,000 for S.A.M. is paid. There is nothing else to do, but you need $500,000 in hand before you can start The Exchange.

After the mission

The Exchange, the final mission, starts at Catalina’s villa in Cedar Grove, Shoreside Vale. Before you go, gather $500,000, fill your armor and stock up on heavy weapons. Most of the side content is easier to finish before the final mission, because the Cartel switch to Uzis and AK-47s afterwards.
