Start-of-Mission Phone Call

Some time after the events of Mr. & Mrs. Bellic, Niko gets a phone call from Little Jacob. Niko can also call Jacob to start this mission. Little Jacob: Niko, I found one of Jimmy Pegorino's boys inna some building in Koresh Square, ya know. See after dat heroin deal, Dimitri's hangin out wit Pegorino now. I tink dis boy gonna lead me to right where Jimmy and Dimitri dere. Niko: Wait for me, I'm on my way. We will do this for Roman. Little Jacob: Seen. One love, Niko.

Car Chase

Niko travels to Koresh Square, where Jacob is waiting in a car. As Niko approaches the car, Jacob will say one of the following: Little Jacob: Come on me breda, get inna the car. Get in, Niko. Niko, get inna the car. Niko gets into the driver's seat of the car. Little Jacob: Alright, me breda. That blood clot is inna de place dere right now. I been following him for some time. Me tink his next step is with Pegorino and Dimitri. We follow him there, seen? Niko: Thank you, Jacob. I know you cared for Roman, but he was my family. You do not have to do this. Little Jacob: Roman was my boy ya know. I doin' this for him. Two goons are seen leaving the building. Little Jacob: Rhaatid, there's Pegorino's boy. Ya have fe stick with him, bredren. Meanwhile, the goons enter a Huntley Sport parked nearby. Goon 1: Fuck, we got a tail. Better lose this piece of shit on the way back to the Peg. I don't wanna be late. The goons leave and shoot at Niko's car. Niko gives chase. (Dialogue 1) (Dialogue 2) Niko: How you know he's going back to Pegorino and Dimitri? Why would he lead us back to them? Little Jacob: Dimitri and Pegorino, they be pon top after that deal, ya know. They got de coil and de brown, didn't dey? Dem ras clots tink dem are de dons of dons. There ain't no way those boys gonna be scared of some boys like I and I following their boy, ya know. Also, dey ain't going to know their boy at the wedding didn't do his job properly. They tink ya dead, ya know. Niko: If Dimitri and Pegorino are so on top, why would they care about me? Why would they bother to send a hitman to the wedding? Little Jacob: Me tink dem be afraid of ya, ya know, me breda. Dimitri tinks dat you forget about what happen on the docks ya know, in Broker. Him screw ya over after ya kill Faustin for him. Niko: I did not forget this, but I let it slide in the interest of business. Sending an assassin after me and killing Roman on his wedding day, this is something I will not ignore. Little Jacob: True me breda, true. I ain't gwan fe let it go neither. They pass Acter Industrial Park Niko: I just want to drive this scum off of the road and smash his brain out on the concrete. Little Jacob: We not angry at him, ya know, Niko. It's di people he's working for, seen? We haffi get to dem, so we haffi follow dem bumbaclot, seen? Niko: Yeah, I understand. I get it. I just need those bastards to know and understand what they did to me. Little Jacob: Me wanna get dem bumbaclot dem too, ya know. Dem boy dey no right ya know, come inna church and some kill a man pon him wedding day. Jah know, it ain't right. Niko: Dimitri and Pegorino will find this out as well. They will find it out when they stare down the barrel of my gun. Little Jacob: Yo Niko, ya need fe lose some of dis anger, ya know, before ya go after dem boy dere. Ya mind be clouded and ya don't be able fe tink clearly, ya know. Ya want some weed? Niko: I do not need any marijuana, Jacob. I can think clearly enough. Little Jacob: Alright, Niko, man. Alright. Niko: I came to this city wanting revenge. I let that desire build up inside of me for many years. I let it eat out everything good in me. It took me over. I cannot allow that to happen again, not to me, not to Mallorie and everyone who loved Roman. We must find Dimitri and Pegorino and end all this. They drive through Leftwood Little Jacob: Ya man, we getting closer. Me hear from me source dat Pegorino might be inna di north of Alderney. Niko: Okay, this is good news. I do not know how much of this driving I can continue to do. Little Jacob: I an' I gwan find dem, we going to find dem and take dem out, for real, dat's what we doing for Roman. Niko: Roman brought me to this city and I was nothing but a curse to him. He was beaten because of me, he was shot, his business and his home were burnt down, he was kidnapped. I should have known that the lives of those close to me would be destroyed. Little Jacob: I don't tink you have a choice about dat, ya know, Niko. Roman loved you. No matter what he was gonna get close to ya. Because before you come, all him a do is talk about him cousin Niko. If you didn't wanna come up here, he was gonna go to Europe and drag you pon a boat. That's just the way Roman was. Don't ever forget him, seen? Niko: No, I will not forget him. Nor will I let these men forget him Niko: Alright, so this guy is taking us to his bosses. We cannot kill him yet then. I guess I'll just have to pass the time by thinking about how much I'm going to punish these scum. Little Jacob: Just be calm now, rasta. Just make sure ya don't lose dat blood clot. Tink bout how ya gwan mash dem up when time ya find out which part dem a hide. Niko: I must think of something. Little Jacob: Seen. Just tink how you gwan bust these bitches dem up. Niko: I can't believe I did that deal with Dimitri. How could I trust him? I'm a fool. I thought the money would help Roman and the people I loved. Little Jacob: A leopard don't change him spots, ya know, Niko. A man stab you inna de back once, him gonna keep stabbing until di job is done, seen? Niko: I have finally learned this lesson. It has taken the death of my cousin, but it is something I must accept. They pass Acter Industrial Park Niko: Come on! Why does this take so long? Where are these idiots hiding out? Little Jacob: Easy Niko, just be cool now. Pegorino and Dimitri be splitting up de large amount of money what dem get from de business deal. Everybody in Liberty City know dat, so dem after de money too. So dem man dem haffi hide out for real. Niko: They could not hide anywhere that would keep me away from them. To get them back for what they have done, I would look for them in every corner of the earth. Little Jacob: Roman was a good man, ya know. He had a righteous heart, ya know, star. Jah know him in a better place now. Niko: Roman should be in his marriage bed. He was a good man. No matter what happened to him, he would never be angry or upset for more than a minute. If there was any way I could change my actions so that he would not die, I would do it. I would sacrifice anything. Little Jacob: What's done is done, and dere ain't no way to change what happen earlier. Niko: You are right, but we can change what is about to happen. We can make sure that Roman's life is not the only one that is lost today. Little Jacob: Seen, we just need fe stay on dis bumbaclot and we'll be able to mash dem up real good. Niko: I'm doing my best. They drive through Leftwood Niko: Are we getting near to them or is this man taking us on a tour around Alderney? Little Jacob: I can tell him getting nervous, ya know, Niko. His driving different. We must be getting close. Niko: He has reason to be nervous. The man who will kill his employer is following him. Little Jacob: Yo Niko, Dimitri and Pegorino gwan have mad firepower pon di ground, ya know. Dis ain't gon' be easy. De boy leading us back because him tink him boys gwan fe tear us to pieces and ting. Niko: Well then I am looking forward to disappointing his expectations. Little Jacob: Me understand ya know, rasta. It's a good ting dat blood clot don't know you as good as I and I know ya, ya know. If he did, ya know, say him boss don' have long fe live 'pon this earth. Niko: I had the opportunity to settle my score with Dimitri the other day but chose not to take it. Instead I did a business deal that led to Roman getting killed. Had I got rid of Dimitri then, the bloodshed would have ended. Little Jacob: Dere no guarantee you gonna make it, bredren. I and I don't know what our actions can do and ting. Anyting coulda happen if you kill Dimitri pon dat day dere. Niko: Yes, but the chances of my cousin being dead would be much slimmer. Roman was a gambler; he would have liked those odds. Failures during the chase (Cognoscenti disabled) (The goons get away or their car is destroyed.) Jacob, driving his Huntley Sport, pulls up across the street from the Alderney Safehouse. Little Jacob: Dis a black day, me breda, it's a black day. Niko exits the vehicle. Niko drives back to Alderney City. Little Jacob: I'm gwan find Dimitri and Pegorino. We gwan make 'em pay for Roman. Niko: I hope so. I see you later. Jacob exits the car.

Alderney Casino

If the chase is successful, Niko will drive along the shoreline, stopping under a bridge, drifting the car with the driver side facing an area in front of an abandoned casino. There, hired goons start shooting at the car. Niko gets out, slides across the hood, and takes cover along with Jacob. Little Jacob: Alright, dis be de place, ya know, bredren. What's the plan? Niko: I have to do this alone, Jacob. Little Jacob: There be nuff blood clots inna de place ya know, that's suicide. Niko: Roman was my cousin and I cannot put anyone else at risk. If you want to help me, find a way for us to make a swift exit when these men are dead. Goodbye, Jacob. Little Jacob: One love, rasta. Jacob leaves. Niko is left alone to fight the goons. When he gets near the entrance to the casino (or on its roof), Jacob sends Niko a text message. Little Jacob: (text message) I got an escape plan for you, star. Keep your eyes on the sky, sight? After killing all the enemies inside the casino, Niko finds Pegorino and Dimitri. Dimitri is holding Pegorino at gunpoint. Pegorino: Dimitri, what's the problem? Me and you is partners now. We're back on top. Dimitri: I didn't work this hard to share the spoils of a victory. Goodbye. Dimitri shoots Pegorino, killing him. Niko: Dimitri, you and me is gonna end this. Dimitri runs toward the roof, saying one of the following. Dimitri: I do not regret sending that man for you. You will fall too, someone will take you down! I should have killed you in Hove Beach. Optionally, Niko can shoot Pegorino's body. Niko: This is for Roman. Niko follows Dimitri to the roof. Dimitri: Поймай эту свинью балтийскую! Dimitri: Убей этот кусок говна. Dimitri: Чего ты ждешь? Убей его! Dimitri: Почему это говно еще дышит? Dimitri: Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! How is he still alive? Kill him! Dimitri boards a helicopter. As it takes off, Niko grabs onto one of its skids. Niko: You're not getting away, Dimitri. One of the goons on board stomps on Niko's arm as the helicopter flies over the water, causing Niko to fall. Niko: Dammit.

Second Chase

After falling into the water, Niko boards a nearby speedboat. Alternatively, Niko can avoid the roof battle altogether by going back through the casino to get to the boat. In this case, Dimitri's helicopter takes off as Niko approaches it. Niko: I'll fucking get you. Mark my words. Niko: You're going to wish your pussy hitman killed me and not Roman. Niko: You snake, Dimitri... Niko: Roman, man, I'll get him for you. Niko: You'll stop running one day, Dimitri. Niko: You're going to have to land sometime, Dimitri. Niko: Fight me like a man. Come on. Niko: My cousin was all I had in this city. Shit! Eventually, another helicopter comes into view. Little Jacob: Niko, mek we get dis ras clot. Get under me chopper and jump on. Niko navigates the boat under Jacob's helicopter and grabs one of its skids. He climbs aboard the helicopter and takes over the controls. (Dialogue 1) (Dialogue 2) Niko: I'm going to catch Dimitri and end this for good. Little Jacob: Did you get Pegorino back at de place, bredren? Niko: Dimitri saved me the trouble. He stabbed Pegorino in the back, just like he did to everyone he has worked with while I have known him. Little Jacob: No matter what you say about dat murderer, he's consistent. He's consistently fucking anybody him can. Niko: Now, it stops. Little Jacob: Don't worry, rasta I gwan shoot him out de blood clot sky. He ain't going to be able to talk his way outta dis. Niko: You were there when Dimitri first wronged me. If we had got him then, Roman would still be alive. Things would be good. Little Jacob: Dat was a long time ago, ya know, king. Dere ain't no promise dat life would be any different from now, ya know. All we can be tinking about is taking dat ras clot down, and stopping him from hurting anyone else. Seen? Dey say a dying animal is de most dangerous inna de jungle, ya know, cousin. So, ya better be careful. Niko: That is the plan, Jacob. I will put a bullet in his heart for every life he ruined, for every agreement he went back on, for every friend he betrayed. Little Jacob: Dat be a whole heap of teeth, ya know, Niko. I don't tink we have enough ammo fe shoot him dat many times, ya know. Niko: Perhaps one bullet in his brain will have to do then. Little Jacob: Seen. Little Jacob: Who dat inna de helicopter? Did Dimitri and Pegorino both leave when you get inna de ground? Niko: No, Dimitri killed Pegorino when I arrived. I don't think he likes to share. Little Jacob: A snake always be a snake, ya know rasta. Dimitri woulda steal from him own mother fe get ahead, ya know. Niko: I think he probably did. We'd have to go to Russia to find out though. Maybe we should go with Dimitri's body. Bury him in his homeland. Little Jacob: Cha! A burial be too good for that bumbaclot, ya know. He ain't worth putting inna di ground, ya know, star. We leave him out for de dogs and crows. Niko: We catch him, then we kill him, then we decide what to do with the body. How's that sound, Jacob? Little Jacob: Ya man ya man. How'de ginnal get away from you anyway, Niko? Me tink ya get dat boy for sure. Niko: He had many men there. Both Russians and Pegorino's men. I had to fight through a lot of people to get to Dimitri. Little Jacob: Seen Niko, a whole heap of bodies left inna dat place dere, ya know? Ya a real lion for real, ya know, star? Jah know not many man could a got through dem boys, ya know, star. Ya a real badman for real, real badman! Failures during the chase (Dimitri got away) Niko's helicopter lands at the Alderney Heliport. Little Jacob: I'm gwan find Dimitri and Pegorino. We gwan make 'em pay for Roman. Niko: I hope so. I see you later. Niko exits the helicoper. As they fly over southern Algonquin, Dimitri's helicopter starts to smoke. Niko: Good shooting, Jacob. A moment later an RPG is fired from Dimitri's helicopter. It is scripted to hit Niko's helicopter, so it may be seen taking an odd turn toward it. Little Jacob: We shot, dis ain't good. We going down, we going down. Shit, we're shot. Lord protect us. We shot and ting. Someone protect us. The two helicopters approach Happiness Island. Niko: Hold on. The helicopters land on opposite sides of Happiness Island. Everyone on both helicopers exit. Dimitri heads for the Statue of Happiness. Little Jacob: Mek we finish him. Niko: Let me go alone. I want some personal time with Dimitri. Niko chases Dimitri toward the Statue of Happiness. Dimitri: You're a piece of Balkan shit. Dimitri: I should have killed you in Hove Beach. Dimitri: If only I'd let Faustin kill you. Dimitri: You and your stupid cousin is always going to be bums. Dimitri: You're a Balkan peasant. You're worth nothing. Dimitri: I knew you were nothing from the moment I saw you. Dimitri: You will fall too. Someone will take you down. Dimitri: I do not regret sending that man for you. Dimitri: I wish you had died along with your cousin. Dimitri: I laughed when I heard that Roman was dead.

Statue of Happiness

Niko approaches Dimitri, who is bloodied and groaning in pain. Niko is holding an assault rifle. Niko: Welcome to America. Dimitri: Ёб твою мать... хуй моржовый! Niko: Speak English. Dimitri coughs up blood as he crawls on the ground. Niko: You're a strange man. Dimitri collapses to the ground, dying. Niko: You killed your best friend. You betrayed everyone who ever came in contact with you. You killed my cousin! I guess the "survival of the fittest" thing really meant a lot to you. Jacob approaches Niko. Little Jacob: Come on Niko man. Get out of here. Let's go. Come on! Niko doesn't move. Little Jacob: Wha gwan? Come on. Let's go! Niko: Roman... never hurt... anyone. Jacob puts a hand of reassurance on Niko's shoulder. Little Jacob: I know. I know. Let's go, man. It's over. You won. The scene transitions to the Statue of Happiness. The camera pans upward to show the statue overlooking the city. Fade to black. The Credits Roll.

Post-Mission

After the credits... Niko: So this is what the dream feels like. This is the victory we longed for. STORY COMPLETE. We return to free roam, with Niko on Happiness Island. After the mission, Niko gets three phone calls. The first is from Mallorie Bardas-Bellic. Niko: Mallorie, the man who got Roman killed is dead. Mallorie: That won't bring him back, will it? He'll never even meet his son. Niko: Son? Mallorie: I'm pregnant. We were going to say something at the reception. Niko: Your child will never worry about anything, Mallorie. Mallorie: Thank you, Niko. I know you're trying, but a child without a father has a lot to worry about. Trust me on that one. The next phone call is from Kate McReary. Kate: Niko, I heard about your cousin. Niko, I am so sorry... Niko: So am I. Kate: If you want to talk about it, if you want anything, Niko. If you just want company, call me. Niko: I want Roman back. Kate: Don't let this ruin you, Niko. Don't let this make you even more insular and angry. Please, call me and we can do something. Niko: I might do that. There are more important things to be doing now though. The last phone call is from Brucie Kibbutz. Brucie: I can't believe it, man. He's gone, he's fucking gone. Chubby man has left us. Fuck. Niko: He didn't leave us, Brucie. He was taken away and he ain't coming back. Brucie: And on his fucking wedding day, man. I learned so much from him man, about life and shit, important stuff like that, you know? It's so wrong, so fucking wrong. Niko: I know, Brucie. Believe me, I know. Later on.
