Blow Your Cover

Blow Your Cover is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. This is the second mission given to you by Elizabeta Torres. This is also the first time you meet Playboy X and Johnny Klebitz.

She asks Niko to go with Playboy and Johnny to watch over a drug deal. Skip the cutscene. A helicopter would be really useful because it's a long ride, but take any vehicle that can fit Playboy and drive him to the building in Broker. His yellow Patriot should be parked outside, but it might not.

Follow Playboy X up to the third floor and walk up to Johnny. A cutscene will follow. You should watch it - good stuff! Johnny, Playboy X and Niko go into a room where two undercover LCPD officers are. One of them is dumb and asks over and over again, "Are you carrying the stuff?" Then suddenly, Johnny and the two undercover LCPD officers surround Niko and Playboy with guns. Johnny is too scared to shoot them and runs down.

Shoot the officers on the remaining floor and go back to the stairs. Behind it are two NOOSE officers, end them. Keep going up the stairs with Playboy following you and shoot every NOOSE officer standing. When you get to the roof, kill the remaining NOOSE men. Two of them walk up the fire escape. Shoot them down the stairs; they came to the party late.

Follow Playboy down the fire escape and kill the remaining goons. Use a nearby door to go down to street level. When you're down there, lose your wanted level and drive X to his house in Algonquin (Algonquin is unlocked once you get to street level with Playboy). Some time afterwards, Roman will call Niko and tell him that the insurance money on the old cab depot has been paid to him and that he has put the moey into another taxi depot, meaning Niko can use Roman's cab service again.

During this mission the terrorist threat separating both sides of the Humboldt River is lifted. Thus, Niko is now able to travel to Algonquin via the Broker Bridge, Algonquin Bridge, East Borough Bridge or the Northwood Heights Bridge. The terrorist threat separating Algonquin and Alderney remains in place however, this threat is lifted upon completion of Three Leaf Clover.
