Niko, Derrick, and Packie take cover at the front of the bank and begin to gun their way out of a five-star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]] level. Due to the heavy presence of [[NOOSE|heavily armed officers]] and [[Vehicles in GTA IV|vehicles]], you must be careful with your [[Health]] and [[Body Armor|Armor]]. There are roughly 16 standard cops spread out over the street. The best way to take these and other officers in this mission out is to shoot at the police cars' gas tanks, located behind the rear wheels. If flames start coming out of the gas tanks, they will blow up in short time, but you may continue firing to cause an immediate explosion. The explosion from the cars will kill any nearby officers and knock others to the ground, and possibly ignite other cars. Any remaining officers are best dispatched by a shot to the head, especially so for the otherwise heavily-armored NOOSE officers.

Help your remaining teammates shoot their way through an alleyway. Gain protective cover and [[Wikipedia:Blindfire|blind fire]] the 12 men of authority. You must then proceed through three streets in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], but not before shooting a loaded cop car that obstructs their path to the three streets. The first street you come will have two cars (one NOOSE and one normal police car) with about 6 men in total. Get cover in a side alleyway like your teammates and pick off the men with a headshot. The second street has the most amount of cops in the level, so it is wise to take excellent cover, possibly behind a burnt out car. There are cops on fire exits above the streets, and several men on the ground, totalling 22 cops. You can just spray them with a [[Micro SMG]] or [[Sub Machine Gun|regular SMG]] so as not to waste [[AR-15#Grand Theft Auto IV|M4A1]] bullets. The final street is the easiest as there are almost no men, and you can quickly run across the street and into the alleyway ahead of schedule. There are several cops on the street, but as you are sprinting it is unlikely they will hit you. The trio are trapped out in an open alleyway by an [[Annihilator|police helicopter]] and the team attempts to shoot it down. It stays hovering, leading Packie to save the crew by taking them into a subway station.

* The outfit Niko wears during this mission (suits with [[Balaclava|balaclavas]]), the weapons you use (M4A1's), the large black bags of money slung over your back and the general set-up of the mission is an obvious homage to the 1995 film ''[[wp:Heat (1995 film)|Heat]]'', in which Robert De Niro and his henchmen rob a bank in similar fashion, including a subsequent running shootout in the surrounding city streets of Downtown L.A. In both heists a member of the gang named Michael dies.
