Franklin and Trevor locate a Z-Type for Devin.
Rockstar Games Social Club description.
Right now, it is life lesson time, pal. You have got to wake up to what is real in this situation, bro. Take me, right? I am opportunity. I'm security. I'm fast cars and blowjobs. I got the world on a plate. Those two clowns...Oh, man, they are the worst kind of disaster that can ever come down. They are a full core meltdown, and you're just standing there, soaking up major radiation. You have got to take stock, man. Make that call, before it's too late.

Eye in the Sky is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V given to protagonists Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips by Devin Weston.

Description[]

The mission can be started as either Trevor or Franklin. If playing as Trevor, the player arrives at the Mission Row Police Station. Trevor enters the station and tells the desk sergeant that Weston sent him. The sergeant directs Trevor to the roof. There, Trevor boards a waiting Police Maverick. A Los Santos Police Department pilot flies Trevor to the FIB lot in the Murrieta Oil Field area where Franklin is waiting. Alternatively, if the player starts the mission as Franklin, Franklin is sitting in the lot when Trevor arrives in the Police Maverick.

The Police Maverick is equipped with a special camera, one that allows the camera's user to identify individuals by reading RFID transmitters placed in 2012 San Andreas driver licenses. Once Franklin and Trevor have spoken about the mission, the player is shifted to Trevor's perspective and takes control of the camera while the pilot flies the aircraft from the FIB lot into Downtown Los Santos. Trevor is looking for Chad Mulligan who has the Z-Type automobile Weston wants Franklin and Trevor to steal. The camera identifies four potential targets for Trevor to scan:

  • Nelson Strauser, a GoPostal mailman. Charged with speeding offense.
  • Greg Howles, a man which is seen strangled by Larry Loden. Charged with loitering with intent.
  • Larry Loden, a man which is seen strangling Greg Howles. Charged with Tax Evasion.
  • Katy Loden, a woman seen watching Greg and Larry fight. She is possibly Larry Loden's wife. Charged with Tax Evasion.

Since none of these are Mulligan, the pilot takes Trevor to a second area where six more targets are identified:

  • Karina Pearl, a woman trying to cheer Chad Mulligan up. Charged with Disorderly Conduct.
  • Zeus Karachi, a man walking his dog. Charged with DUI.
  • Lucien Stark, a hobo seen sleeping and talking through his sleep. Charged with Public Exposure.
  • Joseph Womac, a man receiving a fellatio from a prostitute and then shot by the prostitute's overprotective pimp, Julio Fabrizo. Charged with Loitering with intent.
  • Julio Fabrizo, a pimp seen killing Joseph Womac for an unknown reason. Charged with Resisting Arrest.
  • Melisa Porche, a prostitute giving oral sex to Joseph Womac. Charged with Vice Services.

Mulligan is part of this group.

Once Mulligan has been found, Trevor surveys him to the garage where Mulligan is keeping the Z-Type, all the while updating Franklin on the target's location. Once in the Z-Type, Mulligan tries to escape. Trevor continues to track him using the camera. Eventually, Mulligan attempts to hide in a parking garage. Trevor switches the camera to thermal vision. Trevor first identifies Franklin's thermal signature. After that, Trevor points out other thermal images in the garage, each of which Franklin investigates (Franklin provides interesting commentary on each one). Mulligan is located to the far left of the garage.

At this point, the player is switched to Franklin, who is standing near the Z-Type and Mulligan. Franklin can choose whether to let Mulligan live or kill him: if Mulligan is spared, he will report the Z-Type as stolen and Franklin will get a two-star Wanted Level; if Mulligan is killed or simply just knocked out, the police are not notified. Franklin drives the Z-Type to a hanger in the Los Santos International Airport where Weston and Molly Schultz are waiting. Once there, Weston admires the car and remarks that only ten of them exist in the world. Franklin complains about his payment, but Weston assures him that he will receive it once the other two cars are acquired. He advises Franklin to start thinking about his own future and to stop affiliating himself with Michael and Trevor. Weston and Schultz enter a Shamal and prepare for takeoff, but not before Schultz tells Franklin to drive away from the airport using one of the two nearby Tailgaters. Franklin must then leave the airport grounds before the mission is completed.

Gold Medal Objectives[]

    • Drive carefully to the airport. Be aware that cops will be alerted to the theft if Chad is left alive. Franklin's special ability can be used to help with this.
  • Eavesdropper - Listen to 3 conversations
    • Listen to as many conversations as possible.
  • I See You - Find Chad's hiding place on the 1st attempt
    • Chad is the leftmost person seen on the thermal camera.

Obtaining the Z-Type[]

The Z-Type is an incredibly expensive and rare vehicle that cannot be obtained in normal gameplay but through purchasing it at Legendary Motorsport for 10 million dollars. However, there is a way to obtain the car without having to purchase it. The player must drive the car to 3671 Whispymound Drive instead of driving it to Los Santos International after they have got it. They have to park the car in the garage, get out of it and let the garage door close with the Z-Type inside. Then, the player has to take the car out of the garage, exit it and abandon it, which will fail the mission. They must refuse to retry the mission and drive to the LSPD Auto Impound, where the Z-Type will be able to be retrieved for $250. [1]

Obtaining the Police Maverick[]

If you deliver the Z type and then destroy Devin Weston's airplane it will cause the mission to fail and you will spawn in front of the airfield terminal with the Police Maverick parked across the street. However, it will be much easier to simply switch to Trevor after the mission is completed, who will sit in the Maverick.

Deaths[]

Aftermath[]

Weazel News Radio[]

Only if Chad is spared[]

"Los Santos record producer Chad Mulligan narrowly escaped with his life when his $3,000,000 Z-Type was stolen in a violent carjacking. The whereabouts of the rare vintage car, one of only ten still in existence and the identity of the assailant are still unknown."

Weazel News Radio[]

Only if Chad is killed[]

"Los Santos record producer Chad Mulligan was killed and his $3,000,000 Z-Type was stolen in a violent carjacking in a Los Santos parking garage. The whereabouts of the rare vintage car, one of only ten still in existence and the identity of the killer are still unknown."

StarsTalk Newspaper[]

Only if Chad is spared[]

"The messy breakdown of fading record producer Chad Mulligan's marriage, which we're proud to have played such an integral part in bringing about, got a little messier today when his rare Truffade Z-Type was carjacked in a Los Santos parking garage. Mulligan told reporters that he was lucky to survive the violent attack and that he will definitely be thinking twice about buying a $3,000,000 car in the future. Was this a random robbery? Or was the assailant hired by Mulligan's wife to requisition the assets that he's trying to hide from the divorce settlement? I think we all know which is the more interesting story of the two, so that's the one we'll be reporting as fact over the coming weeks. Stay tuned."

  • Devin Weston - "You've got real potential, Franklin. Just don't let dead wood hold you down. Surround yourself with hasbeens and soon enough you'll become one yourself."

Bleeter Posts[]

  • @yungmarlon12 - "What's with all the police surveillance over Hawick? Something going on? I'm black, stoned and double-parked. Understandably paranoid..."

(Only if Chad Mulligan is killed)

  • @titotittyfan - "No way - some guy killed that producer dude Chad Mulligan in Rockford Hills and stole his Z-Type! That's why I don't drive 10-million-dollar cars. And also because I wait tables for a living."

(Only if Chad Mulligan was spared)

  • @ChadMulligan - "To the thug who stole my Z-Type. How are you planning to sell the rarest car in the world, genius? Just return the car, go back to the projects, and we'll pretend it never happened."

Trivia[]

  • The mission's name is a reference to a term used to describe CCTV (Closed-circuit television).
  • This mission is a fan service for Grand Theft Auto 2, bringing back three memorable elements of the game: the black Z-Type, the location compass and the top-down perspective.
  • A Weazel News report on the radio and an internet article, will both say that Chad Mulligan's Z-Type was stolen and that the Z-Type cost him $3 million, even though the regular Z-Type price is $10 million. However, a Bleeter post claims that Mulligan's Z-Type cost $10 million. This could be a developer's oversight.
  • The parking garage featured in this mission is the same one that Franklin assassinates Brett Lowrey during The Hotel Assassination mission.
  • The news broadcast that mentions Ashley Butler's death will appear after this mission.
  • Weazel News will report on the radio that Chad Mulligan was killed in the mission if the player kills him, however, an internet article will report that Chad is alive, regardless if he is killed or not, a bleet post will also say that Chad is dead, also independently of the player actions. This is probably an oversight of the game, similar of what happens after the mission Hood Safari.
  • The Z-Type only unavoidably appears in campaign in this mission and in Pack Man. After this, the player can only see this car in single player again if the player buys one on the Internet.
  • During the mission, Trevor will frequently get angry at the helicopter's pilot (in particular when they test the scanner on Franklin and discover he was likely arrested because of racial profiling), promising to drop him off. If the player switches to Trevor immediately after the mission is complete, he will be piloting the Police Maverick with the original pilot being nowhere in sight; his comment of a "having a soft landing" implies that he kept his word. The act itself, while never seen in the game proper, is shown in Trevor's character trailer.
  • Mulligan and the Z-Type are always located next to a special white Atomic Burrito.
  • Both attack helicopters (Annihilator and Buzzard) cameras are the same, except for the green screen and the lack of LSPD in a corner.
  • The Z-Type has a standard license plate in this mission, but when it appears in Pack Man it has a vanity plate reading V1NTAG3. This variant, however, is unobtainable, as the Z-Type on the trailer is a static prop rather than a functional vehicle.
  • During the parking garage segment, if one examines Franklin closely they'll notice that he's using the animations of the GTA Online Protagonist.
  • During the first part of the chase, Trevor states that Chad is going through Dutch Drive and an alleyway towards El Rancho Boulevard, although Chad is actually going through Alta Street and an alleyway towards Las Lagunas Boulevard, respectively.
    • "Dutch Drive" here may refer to Dutch London Street, implying the chase was likely to be originally set in southern Los Santos rather than in northern Los Santos.
