==Mission==
==Mission==
The mission is triggered automatically via a phone call from Agent Haines. Agent Haines tells either Michael or Trevor to meet him at a warehouse off Dutch London Street in [[Banning]]. If the player arrives as Trevor, Michael is waiting outside smoking a cigarette. Trevor tells Michael that he needs to give up smoking and instead take up speed. If the player arrives as Michael, Trevor is seen defecating behind a dumpster. Michael asks what's wrong with Trevor, to which he responds by saying he had abandonment issues.

If the player arrives as Michael, Trevor is seen defecating behind a dumpster. Michael asks what's wrong with Trevor, to which he responds by saying he had abandonment issues.


After going inside the warehouse, Trevor and Michael meet Agent Haines' friend [[Devin Weston]], CEO of [[Merryweather Security Consulting]], as he is leaving. Michael asks Agent Haines why he and Trevor are here, and Agent Haines brings [[Ferdinand Kerimov]], the man that Michael and Trevor [[Three's Company|kidnapped from IAA custody]], into the room. Agents Haines and Norton believe that Kerimov is an Azerbaijani spy and is withholding information valuable to Haines; however, Kerimov denies his involvement in any illegal activity. Agent Haines restrains Kerimov to a chair, preps various tools for torture, and hooks an ECG monitor up to him. Kerimov reveals that the man the FIB is looking for lives in [[Rockford Hills]] and works at the Azerbaijani consulate.

Michael and Agent [[Dave Norton]] drive to Rockford Hills to locate and assassinate the target while Trevor and Agent Haines remain at the warehouse to torture and interrogate Kerimov. On the way, Michael asks Agent Norton if Agent Haines is going to be a problem, to which Agent Norton says yes but there is nothing they can do about it. Michael tells Agent Norton that keeping secrets has become more difficult since Trevor is now working with them. Upon arriving at the house in Rockford Hills, Michael and Agent Norton find a reality show is being filmed there and not their intended target. Agent Norton calls Haines to tell him that they have a false lead and asks for a new address.
Michael and Agent [[Dave Norton]] drive to Rockford Hills, not far from [[De Santa House|Michael's house]], to locate and assassinate the target while Trevor and Agent Haines remain at the warehouse to torture and interrogate Kerimov. On the way, Michael asks Agent Norton if Agent Haines is going to be a problem, to which Agent Norton says yes but there is nothing they can do about it. Michael tells Agent Norton that keeping secrets has become more difficult since Trevor is now working with them. Upon arriving at the house in Rockford Hills, Michael and Agent Norton find the reality show [[Real Cunts of Suburbia]] is being filmed there and not their intended target. Agent Norton calls Haines to tell him that they have a false lead and asks for a new address.


The game then shifts back to the warehouse where Trevor is selecting a torture method. Trevor can either [[wp:Waterboarding|waterboard]] Kerimov with the [[Jerry Can]], pull Kerimov's tooth with the pliers, hit Kerimov with the monkey wrench, or electrocute Kerimov with the jumper cables hooked to a car battery; alternatively, Trevor can spark the clamps to intimidate Kerimov. Tortures can performed in any order; however, Kerimov's health and heart rate must be closely monitored during the torture procedure. If he goes into cardiac arrest at any time, Trevor has to use the adrenaline shot to revive him.
