You see, Niko, I have been working for the government...I'm afraid it's my job to watch you.

The Snow Storm is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Puerto Rican drug dealer Elizabeta Torres from her apartment at the South Bohan Projects in South Bohan, Bohan, Liberty City.

Description[]

Niko Bellic enters Elizabeta's apartment to find her and Jacob quarrelling about an untrustworthy contact that Jacob introduced her to, which resulted in her losing her coke. Elizabeta demands that Niko get the coke back.

Mission Objectives[]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Go to the old hospital and get Elizabeta's coke back.
  • Find the drugs in the hospital and take out anyone in your way.
  • You've found Elizabeta's stuff, the coke is on the table.
  • N.O.O.S.E. are raiding the hospital, get out of there and lose your wanted level.
  • Go and meet Little Jacob.

Walkthrough[]

The player must go to the Old Hospital on Colony Island to get Elizabeta's coke back. Once the player reaches the yellow marker on the parking lot in front of the building, a cutscene will show the Angels of Death and the Spanish Lords concluding a deal. Elizabeta's coke will be in a room at the back of the hospital, so the player will have to cross the entire building to retrieve the coke, fighting anyone that gets in their way.

Niko will phone Jacob after retrieving the coke. Suddenly, the NOOSE TRUs will arrive and storm the hospital.

The player must then leave the hospital and evade the police. If the player arrived from the back, the remaining thugs will be also facing the police.

After losing the police, Niko will call Jacob to inform him. Jacob will reveal that he is embroiled with a stranger and will tell Niko to meet him in Chase Point in Bohan.

When the player arrives, the final cutscene will play. Niko walks up to Jacob in an alleyway next to the Chase Point Warehouse and berates him for his dubious phone call. Jacob says he might know where the "heat" comes from and, suddenly, Michelle calls from an adjacent alleyway. Niko, bewildered, walks up to her, asking what she's doing here. Michelle reveals with a slightly tremulous voice that she is an undercover agent working for a government organization, and that she was appointed to spy on Niko. She then asks him to give her the coke. "This is a joke, right?" says Niko, incredulous. Michelle entreats him to comply and reveals that Elizabeta is about to get arrested. When Jacob asks if she'll let them walk free, she reveals that her employers are interested in soliciting Niko's services, presumably in exchange of his impunity. Before she leaves, she asks for the coke one more time, and Niko finally complies. When she walks away with the coke, Jacob says he will tell Elizabeta that she won't lay hands on her coke again.

Aftermath[]

  • The mission Have a Heart is unlocked, as well as Wrong is Right (if the player has completed Photo Shoot for Playboy X first).
  • Niko and Michelle will break up; Niko can't date her anymore and she will ignore his calls.
  • Mallorie will also call Niko after the mission and apologize to him after finding out about Michelle's true nature.
  • Roman will also send Niko an email, stating his surprise over the fact that Michelle is actually a cop.

Niko: Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong? What's wrong?
Elizabeta: Jacob here... you know Jacob?
Niko: Yes.
Elizabeta: Jacob tells me it wasn't him. But some people he introduced me to have ripped me off big time. And put the heat on me. I know they did. Or someone did.
Niko: Alright, alright, alright.

An exchange between a Spanish Lord and an Angel of Death.
Spanish Lord Member: This is scale fish. Imported straight from Bolivia, manito. Polvo puro. The best, man.
Angel of Death Member: You're in America now. The best of everything gets made here. If the best stuff got made in Mexico or Colombia or wherever, why do you all run across the border? Tell me that.
Niko takes out everyone in his way and locates the coke. He then calls Jacob.
Niko: I've got the stuff. You know where the heat is coming from?
Little Jacob: I tink I getting closer, ya know? But dere one more cat me haffi speak to.
Niko: Shit! Speaking of fucking cops, I think I have company. I gotta go.

Michelle: As it happens, it is. You see, Niko, I have been working for the government. I'm afraid it's my job to watch you. And now I have to ask you for the coke.
Niko: This is a joke, right?
Michelle: Please, please, don't make this harder for me than it already is. Look, they are about to take down Elizabeta.
Niko: I don't fucking believe this.
Michelle: Listen... I'm sorry it had to be this way Niko. I'm really sorry. Hey, you know, you could have gone down too if you weren't so useful.

Post-Mission Messages
Mallorie Bardas
Some time after completing this mission, Niko gets a call from Mallorie.
Mallorie: Niko, I heard that Michelle was a cop or a fed or something, is it true?
Niko: I don't know what she is, but she was lying to us all along and now I'm paying for it.
Mallorie: Putanesca. There was always something funky about her. I'm real sorry.
Roman Bellic
Some time after completing this mission, Niko gets an e-mail from Roman.
Roman: (e-mail) Niko, Shit! Michelle was working for someone? Fuck... I don't know what to say. See ya later, Roman

Niko: (e-mail) You set me up with a man, and you set me up with a cop. Maybe you should give up the match making, you moron.

Niko: (e-mail) Maybe you could say that you're a moron and you won't set me up with anymore undercover agents or cops.

Trivia[]

  • The mission's name is a reference to the cocaine that must be retrieved in the mission, as "snow" is a slang term for cocaine.
  • The table which the bag and packages of cocaine were placed on disappears following completion of the mission.
  • After Elizabeta calls (therefore unlocking this mission), the player is unable to hang out or buy guns from Little Jacob.
  • Niko was originally supposed to receive a phone call from Jacob after the mission about Elizabeta's disappointment, but it was scrapped for unknown reasons. It would have progressed as follows:
    • Jacob: Liz is a bad girl fo real, y'know?
    • Niko: Did she kick your ass, man?
    • Jacob: Yo, me think she kick every ass inna South Bohan, ya know star.
    • Niko: Tell me about it. For now, we should just worry about keeping out of prison. Speak to you soon, man.
  • Niko was also originally supposed to receive a post-mission phone call from Roman expressing his shock about rumors of Michelle being a government agent, but it was scrapped as well and replaced by an email. It would have played out like this:
    • Roman: NB, Jacob told me some weird shit went down with Michelle. I couldn't understand completely; something about "Babylon"... that guy is crazy.
    • Niko: No, I'm fucking crazy for trusting anyone. Michelle is some kind of cop or informant or something; I don't know. What the fuck, man?
    • Roman: Shit, Niko... I-I am sorry for putting the two of you together. She was always saying she wanted to meet a mysterious man from the East. I thought she was kinky. I didn't think she'd be a cop.
    • Niko: That makes two of us. Later on, Roman.
  • A feature which is unused in the main game is briefly used in this mission. Two NOOSE agents can be seen rappelling down from the Annihilator. This can be seen here.
