Tommy enters his mansion and sees Lance Vance at the bar. Lance explains that the Front Page Café is refusing to pay protection because they are instead protected by a "local gang of thugs". Tommy, angered at Lance's indifference to this, decides to deal with the issue himself and takes two of his bodyguards to the Front Page Café on Ocean Drive. Tommy kills the guards in front of the café and speaks to the café owner. The owner explains that DBP Security has been supplying his protection and tells Tommy to discuss it with them. Tommy drives to DBP Security's headquarters and attacks some of their guards, but two guards survive and escape on PCJ 600s with Securicars following them as backup. Tommy gives chase to the guards, who flee to the southeastern tip of Ocean Beach, and eventually kills them.

Tommy Vercetti goes into one of his rooms in the mansion, where he finds Lance Vance and fellow gang members drinking.
Tommy:
What's the problem?
Lance:
Some bar is refusing to pay. They reckon they're protected by a local gang of thugs. But don't worry, Tommy, I can handle it.
Tommy:
(angrily) You call this handling it? You two, off your asses, let's go.
Tommy and his two gang members leave the mansion and find a 4-door vehicle.
Aw hell, not again! I don't need this crap! These idiots operate out of DBP Security around the block. You guys just sort it out amongst yourselves.
Tommy:
I'll be seeing you later.
Café Owner:
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Tommy and his gang head to the nearby DBP Security Headquarters and kill all of the guards outside. An explosion is heard in an alleyway as two remaining guards make their escape on motorcycles. Tommy chases the security guards down and kills them.
Post-Mission Phone Call[]
Lance Vance: Tommy we gotta talk about stuff.
Tommy Vercetti: What's the problem Lance?
Lance Vance: It's you, my friend. I feel you're not giving me a fair slice. And more than that, you been embarrassing me in front of the boys, I can't have that.
Tommy Vercetti: Lance, it ain't like that. You've been making mistakes.
Lance Vance: Tommy I'm not your message boy. I'm not your running boy.
Tommy Vercetti: Lance, don't screw up, and we won't have any problems. I screw up, you can lay into me any time.
Lance Vance: Tommy, I've done everything for you, you treat me like a fool. Don't do that.
Tommy Vercetti: Lance, I won't rip you off or stab you in the back, okay? Just take it easy. This is tough enough without you getting all emotional on me. Trust me. Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Lance Vance: I hear you Tommy, but I can't take this much more.
Tommy Vercetti: Lance, don't be like this. Now I'm warning you, do you hear me? Just relax, take a few days off, okay? I'll talk to you.
Tommy comes into the room and asks Lance why everyone is drinking and not doing anything meaningful.
Lance tells Tommy that some bar on Ocean Drive refuses to pay them protection money, as they claim that some gang of thugs is already protecting them.
However, Lance assures Tommy not to worry and says that he can handle the bar.
Tommy gets angry at Lance for wasting time and angrily slams the table, waking everyone up.
Tommy turns to the other two mobsters and tells them to come with him.
Tommy decides to go to the bar himself, take out the protection already there and convince the manager to go under Tommy's protection.

After Tommy arrives at the bar, he sees two armed thugs guarding the front stairs and takes them out.
After taking out the two thugs at the front stairs, Tommy goes into the bar to talk to the owner.
The owner comes out from the cafe to talk to Tommy.
Tommy tells the owner that his previous protection was weak and that he needs to give in to the Vercetti Gang if he wants to actually be safe.
The owner says that he does not need any mob wars going on in his cafe.
The owner tells Tommy the thug's location and tells Tommy to sort this disagreement out with the other gang instead.
Tommy realises that the gang of thugs will probably know of their men being taken out by Tommy and will try to leave Ocean Beach, so Tommy has to hurry, go to their headquarters and take all of them out.

After Tommy takes out all the thugs he can see, a bomb goes off in a nearby alleyway.
The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Ritmo De La Noche" by Al Di Meola. The song is not featured on any of the in-game radio stations.
The PCJ 600s used by the fleeing guards are fire-proof and bulletproof.
An Oceanic with three suitcases in the trunk can be found at DBP Security's headquarters. It can be obtained, but the suitcases will disappear once the mission is completed.
