Uncle Vlad is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by his cousin Roman Bellic from his cab depot.

Mission

Niko enters Roman's cab depot and sees Roman, drunk and upset, because he suspects Mallorie is seeing Vlad, as he saw his car parked at her house. Niko tells Roman he already knew this, which makes Roman get mad at him and call him disloyal. Niko decides it's time for Vlad to pay for what he has done, but Roman begs Niko not to hurt Vlad. Anyway, Niko leaves.

Niko and Roman drive to Comrades Bar. Along the way, Roman continues to warn Niko they shouldn't hurt Vlad, as his boss, Mikhail Faustin, may kill them. Niko doesn't care about this and is convinced the only way to end this is to kill Vlad. When they arrive to the bar, they enter and see Vlad talking to the other people. Niko confronts Vlad and he runs away. The other people at the bar attack Niko, but he avoids them and follows Vlad, who gets in his car and speeds off. Niko quickly gets in the car with Roman and chase Vlad.

Roman repeatedly begs Niko to stop and that Vlad is getting away anyway, but Niko is sure he will come back. They ultimately get into BOABO, where Vlad leaves his car at a small lot next to Humboldt River. Niko approaches Vlad.

Vlad, just standing in front of Niko, starts telling him that he's nothing in the city and that he won't survive without him, since his bosses will not allow someone killing their employees. After listening to him, Niko pulls out a pistol and executes Vlad by shooting him in the head, saying that "nobody fucks with his family".

Niko grabs Vlad's body and pushes it to the water's edge. Roman gets out of the car and sees what Niko has done. He desperately yells at Niko he shouldn't have done anything and that they will end up dead. Niko waits a moment, then sits down and starts telling Roman why he came to Liberty City. During the war, he and his fellows went on a mission that turned out to be a set up. Everybody died except him and two other men. He knows one of them is in the city and wants to find him to ask him why he betrayed his friends. Roman, still worried, tells Niko that it isn't the right moment or place to make such a confession. They then push Vlad's body into the river, and Roman just goes away.

Later, Niko calls Roman, who, whispering, tells Niko to come to the Perestroika.

Reward

The player earns the Fed The Fish achievement.

Trivia

The player automatically gets a pistol, if he/she does not already have one, after the cutscene where Vlad is cornered at the river.
If the player obtains a rocket launcher before the mission, they can take out Vlad's car as it flees from behind the bar. The car will fix itself after a few seconds, so the chase sequence continues nonetheless.
During this mission, the interior of Comrade's Bar can be entered, and the bartender, Mickey, can be killed. However, this has no impact on the storyline of the game.
Vehicles like Fortune, Feroci, Flatbed, and Bus are more common in traffic during the mission.
This is the first mission with an execution.

-{{spoiler}}
+== Mission ==
+[[Niko Bellic|Niko]] enters Roman's cab depot and sees [[Roman Bellic|Roman]], drunk and upset, because he suspects [[Mallorie Bardas|Mallorie]] is seeing [[Vladimir Glebov|Vlad]], as he saw his car parked at her house. Niko tells Roman he already knew this, which makes Roman get mad at him and call him disloyal. Niko decides it's time for Vlad to pay for what he has done, but Roman begs Niko not to hurt Vlad. Anyway, Niko leaves.
-==Brief==
+Niko and Roman drive to [[Comrades Bar]]. Along the way, Roman continues to warn Niko they shouldn't hurt Vlad, as his boss, [[Mikhail Faustin]], may kill them. Niko doesn't care about this and is convinced the only way to end this is to kill Vlad. When they arrive to the bar, they enter and see Vlad talking to the other people. Niko confronts Vlad and he runs away. The other people at the bar attack Niko, but he avoids them and follows Vlad, who gets in his car and speeds off. Niko quickly gets in the car with Roman and chase Vlad.
-[[Roman]] becomes aware that [[Mallorie]] has been having an affair with Vlad. Naturally he's upset, and [[Niko]] wants to go to the [[Comrades Bar]] and deal with him directly. Go with Roman, and look for Vlad at the Comrades in [[Hove Beach]]. Roman is reluctant to do anything, because he doesn't want to get himself into any more trouble than he already is.
-==Walkthrough==
+Roman repeatedly begs Niko to stop and that Vlad is getting away anyway, but Niko is sure he will come back. They ultimately get into [[BOABO]], where Vlad leaves his car at a small lot next to [[Humboldt River]]. Niko approaches Vlad.
-It is usually a good idea to drive to the Roman's Cab Depot in a fast car when you go to receive this mission (my favorite is the [[Banshee]], but then again, my favorite car for anything is the Banshee), as you will likely need it. Either a very fast car or one with very good handling is recommended for this mission, and for that matter all missions that involve a car chase.
-Once the cutscene is over, either get into your fast car or the [[Roman's Taxi]] which now appears in the garage (and which will serve nicely if you don't have something else). Drive to the Comrades Bar to confront Vlad.
+Vlad, just standing in front of Niko, starts telling him that he's nothing in the city and that he won't survive without him, since his bosses will not allow someone killing their employees. After listening to him, Niko pulls out a [[pistol]] and [[Executions|executes]] Vlad by shooting him in the head, saying that "nobody fucks with his family".
-Yep, he's doing a runner. Take out his goons - if you picked up a [[shotgun]] in [[Concrete Jungle]] this is an ideal environment for it- then follow him out the back. Try not to have the shotgun armed while running, as you'll go slower.
+Niko grabs Vlad's body and pushes it to the water's edge. Roman gets out of the car and sees what Niko has done. He desperately yells at Niko he shouldn't have done anything and that they will end up dead. Niko waits a moment, then sits down and starts telling Roman why he came to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. During the war, he and his fellows went on a mission that turned out to be a set up. Everybody died except him and two other men. He knows one of them is in the city and wants to find him to ask him why he betrayed his friends. Roman, still worried, tells Niko that it isn't the right moment or place to make such a confession. They then push Vlad's body into the river, and Roman just goes away.
-Not that it matters much; Vlad had a getaway car stowed around back, and now he takes off. Get into your own car and chase him down - note that it must be the car you arrived at the mission point with, or Roman will be left behind and the mission will fail.
+Later, Niko calls Roman, who, whispering, tells Niko to come to the [[Perestroika]].
-Follow Vlad as he winds through the streets of Hove Beach, making sure to stay decently close so as not to fail the mission, and he'll head down to the Navy Yard. Follow him, being careful in navigating the always-crowded and winding street down here, and soon enough he'll smash his car into a road work and try to escape on foot. Get out of your own car and follow him.
+== Reward ==
+The player earns the [[Fed The Fish]] [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement]].
-After the cutscene, you're prompted to [[Executions | execute]] Vlad. Executions are when you target in-mission characters with a [[pistol]] and the reticule flashes red. If you shoot, you will see an amazing death scene. However, you don't have to execute him, basically kill him in any way. What I like to do is take a [[knife]] and slit him with it until he dies better than than the execution.

-Enjoy your lengthy cinematic what follows, then enjoy the fabulous cash prize you receive- lifted from Vlad's pockets? Take a moment, too, to soak in that feeling of satisfaction- you've just catapulted the story forward, and there's no stopping now.
