Mission walkthrough

The repossession

The opening scene shows Michael with his therapist and then on a bench by the beach, where Franklin and Lamar ask him for directions. Control then moves to Franklin at the Bertolt house in Pacific Bluffs. Pick either the Rapid GT or the 9F, and Lamar takes the other.

Michael in a gray suit points at Franklin and Lamar, who stand near a bench on a quiet street.

Franklin walks on foot down a narrow alley between tall buildings and hedges.

The race

Follow Lamar through the city. Tap the special ability button when the game prompts you, because this is where Franklin’s slow-motion driving is introduced. Your route runs through the Richards Majestic lot, so watch for the film crew and the people in alien costumes. It finishes in the Union Depository parking area.

Franklin drives the white Obey 9F with the Follow Lamar objective and Lamar far ahead.

On-screen text says the bar below the Radar shows Franklin special ability; the white 9F drives on.

The white 9F drives into a concrete parking garage marked Pillbox Hill on screen.

Lamar in his red convertible tells Franklin he will see him at the dealership.

Losing the police and delivering the car

Sirens start as soon as you stop, and you and Lamar split up. Break line of sight on the map until the stars fade, then take the car to the back of Premium Deluxe Motorsport. Simeon charges damage to your pay, so a clean car is worth a little care. After a scene with Simeon and Jimmy, drive Lamar to Franklin’s house in Strawberry and walk around inside to finish.

Franklin drives the white 9F under an overpass with two wanted stars and the Lose the Cops objective.

Franklin parks the white 9F in a dark alley while the wanted level instructions stay on screen.

Franklin parks the white 9F inside a repair garage with a red convertible beside it.

A man in a tan jacket and cap stands in a showroom beside a yellow car.

The white 9F drives through a back lot while the objective reads Go to Franklin house.

The wooden front door and potted plants of a house with a tiled porch.

Passing this mission opens shops, Ammu-Nation, the shooting ranges, Los Santos Customs, Stunt Jumps and the Random Event pool, which all matter later.

A notice says barber shops are now available as Franklin stands by his front door.

Franklin walks inside his house while the barber shops notice is still on screen.

Gold Medal requirements

Save the special ability for tight gaps, and hold it for at least seven seconds in total. Just before the Union Depository, take the left tunnel while Lamar goes right and use the ability to pass him. In the studio, slow time again so you can steer around the costumed aliens. Careful driving covers the damage requirement at the same time.
