Franklin and Lamar repossess two convertibles for an Armenian car dealer, Simeon.
— Description.

Franklin and Lamar is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given to protagonist Franklin Clinton by car dealer Simeon Yetarian.

Mission

Following nine years after the events of Prologue, Michael De Santa is having a conversation with his therapist, Dr. Isiah Friedlander. Michael grows increasingly disgruntled at the fact that he is going through a midlife crisis and begins to release a small amount of stress by shouting at Friedlander that the dream life he desires is disjointed, thus ending their brief session for the day.

Michael heads outside and then rests his mind at a bench, this brings him into an encounter with Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton who he reluctantly leads into their reposition location. The story then focuses on Franklin as he upsetly questions Lamar's motives for proceeding with the repo, as he doesn't see it as legitimate work. They arrive to their location and after Franklin decides which vehicle he would like to acquire, Lamar conducts Franklin on a joyride throughout different parts of Los Santos.

Franklin and Lamar end their cruise at the Union Depository parking lot. As the men exchange repartees with each other, they hear the LSPD sirens which causes them to flee in different directions to lose the unwanted attention. Once the heat is dealt with, Franklin meets Lamar at the back of the Premium Deluxe Motorsport dealership, where they see their boss and owner of the establishment, Simeon Yetarian berating a young man, Jimmy De Santa, for making racial comments about him, (the actual reason for this being that he is trying to scam him into buying a BeeJay XL, something that Lamar himself points out to Franklin).

Both Franklin and Lamar exit the the dealership and head to the latter's house, where Lamar makes fun of Franklin after he's been denied to enter Franklin's home. The mission concludes as Franklin walks around the house, which also leads to a small introduction to his aunt, Denise Clinton.
