The plan

Inside the Print Works, Tommy tells Earnest and Lance that he will intercept the plates, shake off any heat and bring them back. Earnest promises the presses will be ready to run, and Lance says the boys will be around the neighborhood in case Tommy needs help. When the scene ends, head for the docks.

To the docks

Drive to the docks in Viceport, the same spot where the deal went wrong at the start of the story, and wait for the courier. She arrives by helicopter, but do not shoot the helicopter, because that fails the mission and the plates are lost. Her female guards go for Tommy even if you hang back, so be ready to fight.

Kill the courier

The courier is a woman, and she drives away in a black Sentinel with many armed guards around her. Chase her down. Her doors are locked, so you must shoot her out of the car to get in. If she escapes or reaches her destination, the mission fails. She drops the plates when she dies.

Back to the Print Works

Pick up the plates from where the courier fell before anyone else does, then get away in a car. Do not let the plates get destroyed or sunk. Guards and police may follow, so lose them if you can before you reach the Print Works in Little Haiti. Pull up at the marker to hand the plates over, and the mission ends.
