Mission walkthrough

  1. Find the unmarked phone during business hours

    The phone is outside the Bitch’n’ Dog Food factory in Trenton, near Joey’s garage. It has no normal mission blip and rings between 09:00 and 19:00 after Drive Misty For Me. If it is silent at night, return during that window rather than searching another island.

  2. Use the factory car for the pickup

    Take the provided Perennial and drive to the bank manager. Stop close enough for him to enter, then wait until he is seated. Keep the car in good condition; it has a second role after the passenger delivery, so do not trade it for a faster vehicle on the way back.

  3. Bring the manager to Marty

    Return to the factory and follow the marker to deliver the passenger. Let the scene and instructions complete before moving again. The mission does not end with the arrival: you are then responsible for removing the car used for the pickup.

  4. Leave the car beneath the crusher crane

    Drive the Perennial to the Harwood crusher and place it in the pickup area. Get out and move clear so the crane can take it. Do not remain inside waiting for the crusher animation, and do not destroy it on the street instead of using the designated disposal point.

Key point

Marty’s phone is easy to overlook because it lacks a map blip. All four jobs in this chain count toward full completion even though they are optional for the ending.

Optional for reaching the ending; required for 100% game completion.
