“Look, it's easy. Haven't you ever seen a movie? We walk into the bank, we wave the gun around, and leave very rich men.”
The Job is the last Malibu Club asset mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that protagonist Tommy Vercetti does independently.
Mission[]
Shortly after purchasing the Malibu Club, Tommy finds his team in order to pull of a heist at a bank in Little Havana. Tommy finds all of necessary positions for his team, and heads for the Malibu Club. Upon arrival the four of them, along with Ken Rosenberg discuss the sequence of the robbery. Then they head for the bank. Once there Tommy tells Hilary to keep driving around the block, then the three of them change out of their current clothing and into green jumpsuits with hockey masks.
Afterwards, they head inside and begin the robbery. Phil is instructed to keep an eye on all of the civilians. Tommy and Cam head upstairs to the bank's vault while killing security guards. After having difficulty with the vault, Tommy goes down to the manager's office, holds him at gunpoint, and has him follow him. Once up there the manager is forced to help them open the vault. Tommy then decides to check on Phil, only go to down there to find a civilian being shot by Phil for activating an alarm. Tommy then gets ready to fend off members of the Vice City SWAT. At the same time Cam tells them the vault is open. The three (or two if Cam is killed after cracking the safe) of them kill the SWAT Team, and head outside, only to find more SWAT waiting for them. Hilary then shows up to help them but is immediately gunned down by a SWAT agent. The team kill the remaining SWAT and drive to the nearby Pay 'n' Spray, and afterwards to Cam's Can Openers, where they meet Kent Paul and Mercedes Cortez.

Walkthrough[]
Tommy, Ken, Cam, Phil and Hilary are taking a look at their plan to carry out the job for the last time before they do it at the office in Malibu Club in Vice Point. Tommy says that this will be the easiest buck they ever made.
Phil gets up and tells Tommy that he shouldn't be so laid back, as this isn't a simple plan. He then laughs at what he just said and says that a man like himself doesn't need an easy plan anyways.
Tommy tells Phil to relax, as their team is too good to fail.
Ken tells Tommy that he has done a lot for him and asks if he hasn't forgotten him, as he wants a role in the job as well.
Tommy tells Ken that his role is to stay behind and take care of the Malibu and keeps the drinks cold.
Hilary also complains about not having too much to do and says that he doesn't understand why he's there in the first place if his role in the job is so limited.
Tommy calms down the group one last time, tells them that they have nothing to be worried about and even compares the job's simplicity to a movie.
Outside of the group Tommy tells the crew that he'll drive.
This disappoints Hilary even more, as a great driver like himself is reduced to a passenger by Tommy.
The crew getting into the taxi they'll use as a getaway vehicle.
A little ways off the Malibu, Cam starts complaining about Hilary taking too much room and the two get into a childish argument before Tommy threatens to let the two go on-foot if they don't stop.

The manager tells Cam that the safe is on a time lock and that they may as well just give up now.
Cam tells the manager that he has nothing to be happy about, as Cam can bypass the time lock, he just needs his key card.
Tommy says that he'll go and check on Phil and then come back.
Just as Tommy exits the elevator room, one of the hostages presses the alarm button and prompts Phil to shoot them.

Glitches[]
- If the player completes Two Bit Hit before this mission, the Havana Outfit will be put behind an invisible wall and become unobtainable. To avoid this, the missions Cop Land, No Escape? and The Job should be completed before Two Bit Hit. This was patched on the Mac version and the mobile ports of the game.
- Occasionally, during the SWAT breach part of the mission, one of the officers that must be killed in order to leave the bank becomes glitched within a wall and is unable to be killed, making the mission unable to be completed. Confirmed on The Definitive Edition.
Trivia[]
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Freaks Come Out at Night" by Whodini. The song isn't featured on any of the in-game radio stations. The song isn't played inside the Malibu Club during normal gameplay either, but does appear on the in-game radio station Fresh FM in the prequel Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
- If the player kills the guard who triggers the alarm, another bystander will take his place. If this bystander is killed, the hostages will begin to attack the robbers.
- If several hostages are killed before the alarm is tripped it will go off automatically after a certain number have been killed.
- Tommy mentions stealing the SWAT retirement fund, of which Kent Paul informed him: at the end of mission, Paul says "What'd I tell you, Tommy? What'd I tell you? Bent SWAT better watch out when Kent Paul is in town."
- On the way to the bank, damaging the vehicle will result in a different conversation between Hilary and Cam.
- If the player runs out to the street in the robbery outfit after being directed to enter the bank, they will fail the mission with a pop-up message scolding them for publicly giving away what they were doing by showing them what they were wearing. Following this, Phil and Cam disappear and a four-star wanted level will be instantly granted.
- Looking at the security monitors will show Phil watching over the hostages.
- If Cam is killed inside the bank, he will drop a briefcase, which the player must collect. During the cutscenes after Tommy and Phil exit the bank and after they get to Cam's house, there are some additional lines of dialogue about his death and after exiting the bank with Cam dead these additional dialogues can be heard "Where's Cam? History.".
- If Cam dies, the game script will indicate that Tommy and Phil get a bigger profit from the heist, though the reward remains the same. It might suggest that canonically Cam survives the heist.
- The SWAT officers will still attack the player even after they enter the Pay 'n' Spray. It is also the only time in-game where the SWAT team appear at a three-star wanted level as in regular gameplay they appear at a four-star wanted level. It is also one of two missions where SWAT uses MP5 instead of Micro SMG (the other being Juju Scramble).
- If Tommy is to abandon Phil and Cam and follow Hilary and the taxi in a different car, it will be revealed that Hilary will drive throughout Vice City instead of just driving "around the block" at Tommy's suggestion. This can be viewed here.
- Upon the mission's completion, the player's outfit will change to the Soiree suit regardless of what outfit the player was wearing when starting the mission.
