Pre-Mission Cutscene

TK is in the living room, watching horse racing, and tries to turn the TV off to no avail. Ray soon comes in.

TV	The vote here must go to Cold Clutch, who hails from the stable of Annie Richards. According to her trainer, Dougie Walton, she's more than capable of producing the goods first time out of the stalls and is picking up a 3-1 favorite in this one. "Give me strength" as...

Ray	TV's the black remote.

TV	...see of late, but failed to set the track on fire since her last major win last year at St--

TK uses the black remote while Ray goes to the fridge to get some beer. Racing Towards the Sun - Queen Adreena plays.

Ray	The other one, that's the DVD player.

Ray hands TK a bottle of beer and turns the TV off.

TK	What happened? These things breed?

Ray	I want to help.

TK

Oh yeah?

Ray	Yeah. I did some thinking. Candy's out of town a lot. There's a girl I know helps him run things, maybe needs a driver. I told her about you...fixed up a meet for tomorrow.

TK	What's wrong with now?

Ray	Nothing I guess.

TK	So let's go.

TK gets up, while Ray finishes his bottle of beer.

TK	What about Bishop and Slink?

Ray	Like I said - I'm working on it.

Chasing the hitman

TK and Ray go outside and approach two BX-9's, one is white, and one is blue.

TK	So who's this girl?

Ray	A little patience, man.

The white BX-9 blows up, while a hitman in an Olympic speeds away.

Ray	What the fuck?

TK	They know I'm out! That fucker's going down!

TK and Ray get into the blue BX-9 and chase after the hitman.

Ray	You know which one of them sent him?

TK	Does it matter?

TK and Ray chase after the hitman and attract police attention along the way. They eventually blow the hitman's car up.

Ray	That's what I'm talking about! (if the cops are chasing TK and Ray) Now, you gotta lose the heat!

TK and Ray lose the cops.

Ray	You finished? Wanna go meet this girl or not?

TK

Let's go.

TK and Ray arrive at the firing range in Harlem.

Post-mission Cutscene

Maria is seen practicing her shooting skills with a pistol. The target shows that Maria got 3 headshots, 2 of which are in the fatal spot, and 5 shots in the stomach, 2 of which are in the fatal spot. TK and Ray greet her.

Ray	This is Maria Cortez. Maria, this is the guy I was telling you about.

Maria

You know what we do?

TK	Move things?

Maria

Candy's isn't the place for guys who wanna go straight.

TK	So who does the hiring?

Maria

I do. You any good?

Ray	Oh yeah. He's good.

TK	Your job make you tense?

Maria

There's bad guys out there.

TK	Don't they just get everywhere?

Maria

You'll hear from me.

TK	Wait. When do I get to meet Candy?

Maria

When I say.

TK	You're the boss.

Trivia

• Because this mission starts immediately after the completion of The Mexican, the pre-mission objectives/lowdown screen does not automatically show, however the player can entering the Map and selecting to view the job lowdown. This also applies to The Mexican itself, as the mission starts with a cutscene unlike many other missions.
• This is the first appearance of Maria.
• During the pre-mission cutscene, when T.K accidentally turns on the DVD player instead of turning the TV off, Racing Towards the Sun by Queen Adreena can be briefly heard. The song also plays on the radio.
