Before you start

This mission only starts once you have opened the Middle Park East safehouse in Hostile Negotiation, and it needs No Way on the Subway behind you. It is a story mission with no money reward, so you lose nothing by taking your time with the driving.

Objectives

  1. Pick up Roman
  2. Go and see Talbot
  3. Get a four door car
  4. Go back and get Roman and Talbot
  5. Follow Talbot’s directions to find the apartment

Weekend at Florian’s walkthrough

Pick up Roman

The mission begins with phone calls as you finish the last chase, so stay on the bike and let them play out. Ray tells you about a man named Talbot Daniels in the Triangle. Roman then calls and says he will meet you. The objective is to pick up Roman. Ride the yellow route on the radar to the pickup spot and stop beside him.

Niko rides a motorcycle down a Little Italy street while a phone call with Ray plays.
Niko rides down a wide street at night while a call with Roman appears on the phone.
Objective says to pick up Roman as Niko turns a corner on the motorcycle.

Go and see Talbot

Once Roman is with you, the next objective is to go and see Talbot. The route heads north into Star Junction, so you can take the bike or switch to a car if you like. Roman chats on the way and nothing here needs your input. Keep an eye on the radar and stop where the blip is.

Objective reads go and see Talbot as two riders on a motorcycle cross a Middle Park street.
Niko rides along a tree-lined street with a passenger riding behind him.

Park near the corner by the Bean Machine, where a man in a red vest stands next to a stand of portraits. Walk up and talk to him. When the talk ends the objective changes, and you learn you need something with more doors.

A man in a red vest studies a stand of drawn portraits on a Star Junction sidewalk.
A man in a red vest walks across the sidewalk in Star Junction toward Niko.

Get a four door car

The bike will not do, so the objective is to get a four door car. Look along the street for a sedan. Any ordinary four door works, such as the white one parked just off the corner. Take it, and keep it clean, because you need it for the whole trip.

Objective reads get a four door car as Niko stands by the portrait stand near the Bean Machine.
Niko climbs into a white sedan with the objective to get a four door car.

Drive back to the stand. The objective now is to go back and get Roman and Talbot. Pull up next to them and wait while they climb into the back seats.

Objective says go back and get Roman and Talbot as the sedan stops in front of the Bean Machine.
The white sedan waits at the curb as the two men walk up to it.

Drive to the apartment

A help message says Talbot will give directions as you approach a junction. The last objective is to follow his directions. Drive at a calm speed and listen at every intersection. He tells you left, right or straight on as you approach.

Help text about Talbot's directions on screen as the sedan crosses an intersection in the Triangle.
The sedan drives down Denver-Exeter Avenue with a police car ahead.

Talbot does not like fast driving. If you speed, he complains that he cannot see where you are going. Ease off the gas and keep to the road. If you take a turn he did not give, he gets confused, so wait for the call each time and do not turn early.

Talbot asks Niko to slow down while the sedan drives down an avenue.
The sedan approaches a turn in the Meat Quarter as Talbot gives directions.

The trip runs up through the Meat Quarter and across Middle Park West, with a few wrong guesses along the way. Stay patient. Talbot’s last turn takes you to a quiet street of old apartment buildings along Ivy Drive South. Stop in front of the building where he tells you to, and the scene begins.

The sedan stops at a Kunzite Street intersection while Talbot talks to himself.
The sedan drives down Manganese Street beside a high wall.
The sedan turns at a corner with a parked car ahead as Talbot guesses.
The sedan pulls over along Ivy Drive South by a park wall.
A quiet apartment building across the street with a lit window, as Talbot says they have arrived.

What fails this mission

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

  • Roman dies
  • Talbot dies before you find the apartment
  • Talbot gets lost, usually because you drive too fast or turn on your own

After the mission

There is no payment. Once the scene is over you are free to go. Hating the Haters is now available, and other missions open if you have finished Portrait of a Killer and Payback or Flatline and To Live and Die in Alderney.

Niko stands alone beside a park wall in his work jacket with the radar on screen after the scene.
