[[Tommy Vercetti]], having obtained the services of locksmith/safe cracker [[Cam Jones]] and gun runner [[Phil Cassidy]], tells Cassidy and [[Ken Rosenberg]] that he needs a getaway driver for the planned [[El Banco Corrupto Grande|bank]] [[The Job|robbery]].

Tommy, [[Ken Rosenberg|Ken]] and [[Phil Cassidy|Phil]] are all in the club, with Tommy saying that the heist plan is coming together nicely, and the only thing left to do is to hire a driver. Ken suggests himself, but Phil suggests [[Hilary King]], describing him as a great driver. Phil calls Hilary, and asks if he can offer his services to Tommy. He says yes, but only if Tommy beats him in a race.


Tommy goes outside to Hilary, who is inside his [[Sabre Turbo]]. He explains that if Tommy loses to him, he will not work for Tommy. Tommy then gets inside a [[Sentinel]] and races against Hilary. He passes through all checkpoints scattered around [[Vice Beach]], all while being chased by the [[Vice City Police Department]] for illegal racing. Later on, he eventually passes the finish line first, and Hilary agrees to work for him.
Vercetti meets King outside the [[Malibu Club]] in his [[Sabre Turbo]]. King advises Vercetti that if he loses he won't assist him as a driver. Vercetti then enters a parked [[Sentinel]] and races against King, passing through the various checkpoints throughout [[Vice Point]], [[Washington Beach]], and [[Ocean Beach]] before returning to the Club ahead of King despite being [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Two stars|pursued]] by the [[VCPD in GTA III Era|Vice City Police Department]] for illegal street racing.

The Driver is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti from the Malibu Club in Vice Point, Vice City as an asset mission.

Mission

Tommy Vercetti, having obtained the services of locksmith/safe cracker Cam Jones and gun runner Phil Cassidy, tells Cassidy and Ken Rosenberg that he needs a getaway driver for the planned bank robbery. Rosenberg suggests himself but Cassidy recommends and phones Hilary King, who he describes as being a great driver. King agrees to join the team but only if Vercetti can beat him in an illegal street race.

Vercetti meets King outside the Malibu Club in his Sabre Turbo. King advises Vercetti that if he loses he won't assist him as a driver. Vercetti then enters a parked Sentinel and races against King, passing through the various checkpoints throughout Vice Point, Washington Beach, and Ocean Beach before returning to the Club ahead of King despite being pursued by the Vice City Police Department for illegal street racing. King, arriving at the final checkpoint shortly after Vercetti, agrees to assist him in the robbery.

Script

Tommy Vercetti: Things are starting to come together nicely here.

Ken Rosenberg: What's the plan, Tommy? Que pasa, amigo?

Tommy Vercetti: The plan is you keep doing that like a moron.

Phil Cassidy: (laughs)

Tommy Vercetti: Anyhow, we need a driver.

Ken Rosenberg: Tommy, I'll do it. I can drive.

Phil Cassidy: You want Hilary, mister. Not some smart-talking law school chump. Hilary's the real deal. You ain't never seen anyone drive so fast. I'll give him a call here. (dials phone) Hey Hil, it's Phil. How's it going? No, don't talk. We'll reminisce later. You want to do me a favor? I got me a guy from up north. No, no, I don't think he was in the service; but he wants a driver. For a bit of action. Okay, I understand.

Tommy Vercetti: What'd he say?

Phil Cassidy: Well, he'll do it, no problem. Well, there might be a little problem - see, he has abandonment issues. Seems he won't work for anyone who can't beat him. Something to do with his momma. Anyway, he wants to race you first, said he'd meet you outside.

(Screen turns black)

Tommy Vercetti: Abandonment issues! Who is this freak... why can't I meet someone normal for a change?

(Outside the club)

Hilary King: You Tommy? Of course you're Tommy. I mean, why else would anyone want to speak to me? OK. Consider it this way - I'll drive for you IF, and only IF, you can drive properly. Leave me alone - and I'll never forgive you.

(While racing)

VCPD: Illegal street race in progress at Vice Point. Calling all officers. Street racers, this is illegal and forbidden!

(After racing, when Tommy has won)

Hilary King: OK. I'll drive for you, but please, treat me bad.

Reward

The reward for this mission is $3,000. The mission The Job is unlocked.
