Walkthrough[]
Yusuf wants to send a subway car to the Gulf as a decoration for his new property (an underwater submarine train from the LTA, going through a delicate coral reef in the Gulf). Drive Yusuf to the Broker end of the Algonquin Bridge. The first objective is to jump on a train from the nearest overpass. After Luis lands on the train, a four-star wanted level (that will eventually increase to a five-star wanted level) is earned.
Luis must make his way up to the front car of the train as the police are trying to shoot him from Maverick helicopters and NOOSE TRUs are going after him with Annihilators. Once Luis has disconnected the first car from the rest of the train and the train goes past Huntington Street Station, Yusuf appears and raises it using the Skyhook helicopter.
Lowering Luis down to the baseball diamond in Meadows Park, Yusuf departs, giving his thanks over the loudspeaker.
Aftermath[]
Weazel News (Radio)[]
"Witnesses say it's like something out of a Vinewood movie. Jenny Acorn at the scene."
Reporter: "That's right, Jim. It's like a Vinewood movie, only without the hooky computer-generated effects, terrible dialogue and shitty acting. In an audacious raid, terrorists have stolen a Liberty City subway car in Broker. While it is believed no civilians were on board the missing car at the time it was taken, authorities still urgently seek its return."
Liberty Tree Newspaper[]
"From the coast of East Africa to the shores of the Humboldt River, pirates have become the principal menace to twenty first century commuters. In one of the most daring steals of the last few months, a band of pirates have stolen a subway car in Broker. Bystanders report a "dusky" looking man climbing along the roof of the train and unhooking it before it was pulled into the air by a Skylift. Authorities lost track of the car and Skylift as it disappeared behind a building."
"While no ransom demands have been delivered yet, the mayor expects this incident to be in line with other recent piracy around the world. Coming in a year in which an oil rig was stolen in the North Sea and an entire skyscraper went missing in Singapore, it is now thought that nowhere is safe from the pirate menace."

Trivia[]
- The name of this mission is a reference to the Superman comic book of 1985 written by Alan Moore For the Man Who Has Everything.
- This mission contains dialogue that is reference to the movie The Shining when Yusuf says "All work and no play make Yusuf a dull boy."
- The way Luis advances along the train and reaches the front car is somewhat similar to the train robbery early on in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
- After Yusuf exclaims that "People will write a Bible about this shit in the future, baby.", on the top left corner of the screen, a metal bar will whack a worker off a ledge and one can hear him screaming.
- The Annihilator which needs to be ducked under is indestructible; it is possible to break the glass, or even make it catch fire, but it will not explode and continue to hover above the train, likely for the scripted cinematic view of Luis ducking under it. An exception will occur if the player shoots on the stub wings, as the hit splash can affect the upper side of the vehicle, which is the weak spot of helicopters. The chopper won't be destroyed, but it leaves the area.
- If the player gets up before the train passes the Annihilator, Luis will immediately die.
- This is the only time where the player can stand on the top of a moving subway car without falling as in free roam they will simply fall off when the train starts moving.
- During this mission, Luis is immune to helicopter wrecks that may fall right next to him.
- The subway trains have a unique horn during this mission, which can also be heard on Grand Theft Auto IV's No Way on the Subway. They sound like Nathan Airchime K5LA horns.
- This is the only time where subway cars come in sets with more than 3 cars. However if the player fails the mission, the subway trains will be split into three-car sets.
- If the player fails the mission and then plays it again, Yusuf will say that he wishes he owns a subway train since he was a kid as he played with gold train toys. He also calls Tony Prince "Gayer Tony".
- Helicopters may not appear if the player is immediately looking on their spawn points, but may be still indicated in the radar. These vehicles, however, appear when the player is facing away from them.
- When the Skylift grabs the train, the windows will break as the train hits the helicopter's cab while attaching it.
- Subway trains drive on the left-hand side rather than on the right, unlike in free-roam which drives on the right. Pedestrians and passengers in stations are also absent during the mission.
