Investigate the data signal at the Los Santos Triads Nightclub.
ā€” Mission description.

Investigation: The Nightclub is a Data Leak investigation mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.

Description[]

ā€œ
'Ey! So, who's ready to go see some Triads? They opened up a new club in town but that shit probably a front. I don't give a fuck about that. What I do give a fuck about is that we know a copy of Dre's phone was in there not too long ago. Now let's go take a look around, see what the fuck we can find.
ā€” Franklin's brief.

The player is called by Franklin Clinton who tells them that a copy of Dr. Dre's cellphone was at a Triad nightclub in Los Santos. On the way, Imani informs them that the nightclub has had CCTV installed a while back, so they can determine who was there with the copy. However, she indicates the system "is an antique", so they need the physical tape from the office. The player is then instructed to go to either Cypress Flats or La Mesa.

ā€œ
Hey, boss. You could do this Franklin's way, or I've got an alternative if you wanna go quiet. The club are expecting cleaners to come in and wipe the place down. If you get their van, you could play the part and infiltrate the joint. However you wanna do this, it's your call.
ā€” Imani's message indicating a quiet approach.
The nearby cleaning van Cleaning Van can be used to infiltrate the nightclub as a cleaning crew. This approach will only work before entering the nightclub in normal clothes.
The cleaning outfits will be equipped when you enter the nightclub in the cleaning van.

On the way to the club location, Imani will inform the player that cleaners are expected at the nightclub, which gives them the opportunity to intercept the Sunset Bleach cleaning van and don the uniforms in order to access the nightclub unnoticed. A wanted level will need to be evaded if Harvey Molina and the other cleaner see the player take the van.

Search the nightclub for a computer console that contains the security tape.
Cones of vision on the Radar show enemy line of sight. Stay clear of these to avoid being spotted. Enemies will also be alerted if you use unsilenced weapons.

The player arrives at the nightclub and attempts to find the security footage from the time the phone was in the nightclub. The direct access to the office is blocked by several goods stacked in the way, so the player must get there through the main area of the nightclub.

The cleaning outfit will help you avoid detection. However, enemies will become suspicious if you stay in their cones of vision too long or if they spot you with a weapon equipped.

If using a cleaner ruse, they will need to fake sweeping the floors to avoid suspicion, otherwise use stealth to avoid the Triad's cones of vision, or simply take a loud approach, taking out all the gang members encountered.

Once the security tape is secured from the office desk, they return it to their Agency. However, regardless if the enemies were alerted or not, pairs of Fugitives with two Triad members each will attempt to intercept the player (up to three waves). Upon bringing the tape to the Agency, the mission is complete.

Transcript[]

First Time Dialogue
The Protagonist selects the Nightlife Leak on the Agency computer.
Imani: Okay, this copy of Dre's phone last popped up at a nightclub... that looks like it's owned by the Triads. That doesn't mean it's still there, but... s'all we got. We'll call you when you're on your way.
Mission Transcript
The Protagonist leaves the Agency. When replaying this setup, the dialogue starts from here.

Franklin: 'Ey, so we payin' a visit to the Triads. I don't know how they mixed up in all this shit, but I do know that a copy of Dre's phone was at they club, so that's where we're starting to look at.
Imani: Hey, so just before you go full enhanced interrogation on the bouncer, here's the plan. We access the security camera system and cross reference the footage with when we know the phone was there.
Franklin: Shit, sounds good to me. But can't we just hack the feed?
Imani: No deal... this system is some thrift-store level shit. It's not even online... you'll need to get the physical tape from their office.
Franklin: Oh, shit, that's easy... right, partner?

Franklin: 'Ey! So, who's ready to go see some Triads? They opened up a new club in town but that shit probably a front. I don't give a fuck about that. What I do give a fuck about is that we know a copy of Dre's phone was in there not too long ago. Now let's go take a look around and see what the fuck we can find.
Imani: Okay, who's up for some good news?
Franklin: Shit, what's up?
Imani: According to their records, the club owners had CCTV installed a while back. We can just check the footage at the time when we know the phone was on site, and see who was there.
Franklin: Sound like a plan to me.
Imani: But... this system is an antique. It's not even online. So we'll need the actual security tape from their office.
Franklin: Shit, and I thought this was goin' be difficult...

On the way, the Protagonist will get a text from Imani.
Imani: (text) Hey, boss. You could do this Franklin's way, or I've got an alternative if you wanna go quiet. The club are expecting cleaners to come in and wipe the place down. If you get their van, you could play the part and infiltrate the joint. However you wanna do this, it's your call.
If the player chooses this option, they must steal a cleaning van and possibly evade a wanted level. Either way, the Protagonist arrives at the club, which can be at one of two locations; in Cypress Flats or in La Mesa. Using their selected method, they make their way from the goods entrance, through the main nightclub floor, to the office and steal the tape. They then exit the nightclub and escape pursuing enemies. They bring the tape back to their Agency. SETUP COMPLETE.
Post-Mission Messages
Following the setup, the player gets a text from Imani.
Imani: (text) Nice work. I'm gonna look at that tape now and see what I can get. Listen out for a call.
