Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect Jermaine

    Take Roman’s car to Rotterdam Hill, pick up Jermaine and drive to Masterson Street. Stay with the vehicle while he attends to the pickup; the police response is part of the mission.

  2. Escape the search circle

    When the wanted level appears, drive out of the highlighted search area while avoiding police sightlines. A fresh sighting moves the search around your new position. Turn down clear side streets rather than circling the same block.

  3. Finish the fare

    Once outside the search zone, remain unseen until the wanted stars clear. Only then take Jermaine to Gibson Street and complete the drop-off. Driving directly to the destination with active stars does not finish the escape objective.

Key point

Pay ’n’ Spray is introduced here, but you can also escape by leaving the search area and staying out of sight. Police watching you enter a spray shop prevents it from being a clean escape.
