“This is it, I'm way over my head and I'm starting to drown here! The CIA seem to have a vested interest in SPANK and they don't like us screwing with the Cartel. I'm a marked man, so I'm getting out of here. Get me to my flight at the airport and I'll make it worth your while!”
Claude drops by the toilet block in Belleville Park. Ray tells Claude that he is a "marked man" and needs to escape Liberty City. He wants Claude to take him to the Francis International Airport so he can catch his plane out of the city to Miami. If Claude successfully drives Ray to the airport, Ray will reward him some items.
Claude and Ray have 3 minutes to their way to the airport. However, the Shoreside Lift Bridge is guarded by CIA agents (who are armed with M16s and are able to survive up over twice the amount of damage), so Claude finds an alternate route, one being the Porter Tunnel. Claude drives through the Porter Tunnel, and he and Ray eventually reach the airport to allow Ray to catch his flight. Once they reach the airport, Ray gives Claude the keys to a lockup in Newport, and enters the airport. Claude drives back to the lockup and when he arrives, Ray pages Claude asking him to take care of the bullet-proof Patriot. Other equipment, including a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle, an M16, and a flamethrower, as well as some money, are also stored in the lockup as a gift from Ray to Claude.
Mission Objectives[]
In order to complete the mission the player must:
The CIA have the bridge under surveillance, find another route across
Go over to the lockup and collect Ray's stash
Reward[]
The reward for completing the mission is $20,000 and the items stored in Ray's lockup, including a bullet-proof Patriot and another $20,000.
Good. This is it, I'm way over my head and I'm starting to drown here! The CIA seem to have a vested interest in SPANK and they don't like us screwing with the Cartel. I'm a marked man, so I'm getting out of here. Get me to my flight at the airport and I'll make it worth your while!
Claude goes with Ray to Francis International Airport, but they can't cross the Shoreside Lift Bridge due to it being under surveillance by the CIA, forcing Claude to find another way to the airport. Claude and Ray eventually reach the airport.
Ray Machowski:
Here's a key to the lock-up. You'll find some cash and some supplies I'd stashed in case things got tight. See you around!
Take care of my bullet-proof Patriot. See you in Miami, Ray

Trivia[]
Although it is generally not recommended for players to take the Shoreside Lift Bridge route due the presence of three checkpoints of hostile CIA agents with high-powered M16s, it is still possible for them to fight their way through the bridge to reach the airport.
While the player can take the tunnel, they can also take the subway, which has an exit right outside of the airport terminal in Shoreside Vale.
In The Definitive Edition, a destination marker is placed at the entrance to the Porter Tunnel to aid the player in finding a way to the airport. After reaching the tunnel, the marker at the airport appears.
