To Live and Die in Alderney is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by the Pegorino Crime Family associate Phil Bell from the Post OP Alderney Depot office in Normandy, Alderney.
Description[]
Phil asks Niko to help him collect the heroin that Phil's nephew Frankie has been guarding and transport it to a more secure hideout. Niko drives Phil Bell to the old mansion in Westdyke. FIB agents and law enforcement surround the house just as the group are about to leave. Bell calls Frankie an idiot because he let the FIB spy on the heroin.
Niko, Frankie, and Bell open Frankie's garage and get into two separate black cars loaded with "horse". Niko and Frankie follow Phil on a wild chase throughout Alderney, eventually abandoning their cars and switching to a van Phil left behind the hospital.
Niko drives Phil Bell and Frankie Gallo to Pizza This... in Westdyke, where they separate and enjoy their cut of the money.

Trivia[]
- The mission takes its name from the movie To Live and Die in L.A., which also features a lengthy car chase sequence, although it differs significantly from that featured in the game.
- Similarly, completing the final mission in Grand Theft Auto V unlocks the "To Live or Die in Los Santos" achievement, serving as another reference to the film and this mission.
- If the player gets a higher wanted level while following Phil, it will decrease to two stars when he calls Niko.
- If the mission Babysitting is yet to be completed, this mission introduces RPGs.
- During the opening cutscene, Niko requests a favor of Phil (likely help searching for Darko Brevic), to which Phil agrees. However Niko does not give the specifics of his request and it is never brought up in dialogue again for the rest of the game.
