Three Leaf Clover is the third and final mission offered by Packie McReary. Before arriving at his mothers house, Packie will have texted you about wearing a smart suit and shoes. When you arrive at his house, you will meet Derrick McReary, Gerald McReary, and Michael Keane. Gerald does not take lightly to Niko being involved in the family business and Derrick has returned. After the cutscene, Packie tells you to get a four-door vehicle.
Overview
Niko drives the group to the Bank of Liberty which is located in Chinatown, Algonquin. They rob the place, take 1 million dollars to split between them. They help each other lose their wanted level.
Walkthrough
Niko heads down into the vault and grabs $1 million. NOOSE and FIB police officers arrive at the scene with helicopters and cars, prompting Packie to decide that they need to leave now with the money they have already collected.
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. Due to the heavy presence of highly armed officers and vehicles, escaping at this point is extremely difficult. Packie, Derrick, and Niko shoot their way through an alleyway and three streets in Chinatown. They are trapped by a police helicopter but then Packie leads them into a subway station.
Quite frankly, the police are waiting for them down in the station. Niko, aided by Packie and Derrick, shoot down most of the FIB officers in the subway station, but more of them keep coming down. Packie leads the team onto the train tracks, and back to the surface via a maintenance entrance in Easton. When they lose the police, Packie begs Niko to take him back to his Mom's house in Dukes.
On the way, Packie explains how they will split the money. Niko gets $250,000; Packie gets $250,000; Derrick gets $250,000. The remaining $250,000 will be given to Micheal's parents since Micheal himself died "on the floor of a bank in Algonquin", as Packie says.
Completion
Following successful completion of this mission, Gerry McReary will call Niko and ask to see him, followed by Packie's request that you help Derrick out in Alderney.
The terrorist threat separating both sides of the West River is lifted subsequent to completion of this mission, consequently Niko is able to travel to Alderney legally, via the Booth Tunnel and Hickey Bridge. This will also unlock the 'Full Exploration' achievement on the Xbox 360 version or 'Full Exploration' trophy on the Playstation 3 version of GTA IV, as the whole metropolitan area is now open to Niko.
Shortly after this mission Packie will call Niko and be added as a friend.
Trivia
The outfit you wear during this mission (suits with 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 may be a homage to a 1995 film called 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.
