Give Me Liberty

"I know a place on the edge of the Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up so you better drive, brother."

- 8-Ball

Give Me Liberty is the first storyline mission of Grand Theft Auto III. It is given to protagonist Claude by explosives expert 8-Ball from the Callahan Bridge, Portland Island, Liberty City. The mission serves as a tutorial mission, teaching new players the controls of the game.

Overview
Following the ambush of their prison convoy and the subsequent attack on the Callahan Bridge, Claude and 8-Ball have escaped but are now isolated on Portland Island. After locating an abandoned Kuruma, 8-Ball informs Claude that he knows a place for them to lay low and find work, but Claude will need to drive there due to 8-Ball's injured hands.

After arriving at Claude's new hideout in the Red Light District, the duo change into civilian clothes before driving to Sex Club Seven, a strip club owned by Luigi Goterelli. Arriving at the club automatically triggers the next mission.

Mission Objectives

 * Get in the car.
 * Drive to the hideout.
 * Head over to Luigi's Club.

Trivia

 * It is possible for this mission to fail to load thus keeping the prison uniform and a lot of other things.
 * Standing in the flames of the burning cars will not affect Claude's health.
 * The mission title may be a reference to 's famous words "Give me liberty or give me death!", as well as the name of Liberty City.
 * The first four cars seen in the mission (Rumpo, Police, Enforcer and Patriot) have no drivers.
 * For the first two minutes or two in-game hours (until 6:00), the player cannot gain a wanted level.
 * The two police cars driving on the other side of the bridge towards the sight of the explosion, whose sirens can be heard when the player drives forward, will not chase the player like normal police cars and the policemen inside them will never open the door.
 * The Kuruma used in the mission has a unique teal colour, which can be stored after completing the following mission. In the Beta version of the game, the player originally drove a purple Sentinel.
 * The first song that the player listens in the game is Dil-Don't's "Stripe Summer", as when the player enters any vehicle after the cutscene, Head Radio will play every time from the beginning of the audio file.
 * This is chronologically the first mission in the 3D Universe by release order.
 * Attempting to store the Kuruma in the garage of the safehouse with 8-Ball still in it will cause it to blow up, instantly failing the mission and restarting from the beginning.
