What Lies Beneath is a Strangers and Freaks side mission in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description[]
After all 30 of the Submarine Pieces are collected, the player must return to the Sonar Collections Dock and talk to Abigail to complete the mission. Abigail will thank Michael for his help and start getting a little nervous when Michael asks some questions about a possible sabotage that caused the death of her husband. She will give $10 and an autographed photo of her ex-lover to Michael for his hard work before leaving.
After the cutscene ends, the player will have the choice to either kill her or let her go. The player's decision will have no consequences to the game. If the player follows her after the mission (without agitating her), she will drive to the LS Airport. Upon arrival, she will claim that the protagonist is "harassing her as she is a widow", giving the player a three-star wanted level.
Mission Objectives[]
- Bring the submarine parts back to Abigail.
- Kill or spare Abigail's life.
Possible Deaths[]
- Abigail Mathers - Can be killed by Michael De Santa for being paid so cheaply for his hard work in collecting all of the Submarine Pieces and for indirectly revealing that she was the one who caused her husband's death.
Rewards[]
- $10.
- A signed photo of Frank Mathers. Michael throws this into the sea at the end of the cut-scene and it's not seen again.
Video Walkthrough[]
Trivia[]
- The $10 received for completing this mission is the lowest monetary reward in the entire series.
- Michael's private car will spawn on the dock during this mission. This is likely a glitch, because the car will be stranded here, unless you conveniently have a Cargobob to get it out.
- When the player approaches the dock before triggering the mission, Abigail's Asea is locked. If the player kills her while she leaves but before she gets into the car, it will be unlocked and free to take. This mission is one of the rare appearances of said vehicle in the original version of the game (Xbox 360 & PS3).
- Although the submarine pieces can be collected by any protagonist, this mission is exclusive to Michael.
- When the mission ends, there will be instructions on screen to view mission completion details. This function is glitched and the instructions have no effect.
- This mission is not listed on the Grand Theft Auto V Checklist found on the Rockstar Games website.
