Death Row is the only mission in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to be done for character Kent Paul. Technically speaking, while Paul is your "employer", he is not paying you and he is only providing the bad news.

Lance Vance tried to kill Ricardo Diaz on his own but has failed and Diaz has captured him. Now Diaz's people are torturing Lance in the Junkyard....

Script

(Malibu Club, Tommy Vercetti and Kent Paul)

Kent Paul: Awright mush, I'm gonna save your Vera, mate.

Tommy Vercetti: What the hell are you talking about?

Kent Paul: You know that wanker Diaz, The Bugle Master. He's got your boy, Lance. Word is your mate tried to jump him...didn't jump high enough if you know what I mean.

Tommy Vercetti: Where did he take him? In plain English!

Kent Paul: Keep your barnet on! They got him across town at the Junkyard!

(Tommy violently drops Kent to the floor and storms off.)

Kent Paul: Bloody hell...you nutter!

(Junkyard, after Tommy frees Lance, Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance)

Tommy Vercetti: There goes my careful planning blown to shit, thanks to you. You screwed up real good, Lance!

Lance Vance: He killed my brother. What do you expect me to do, mow his lawns?

Tommy Vercetti: We're gonna have to take that prick Diaz out before he takes us out. You OK to use a gun?

Lance Vance: Sure...I guess...nice to see you, too.

Tommy Vercetti: Let's get out of here.

(Schuman Health Care Center, Tommy and Lance)

Tommy Vercetti: Get patched up and meet me on the bridge to Star Island, OK?

Lance Vance: OK, I got you.

Post-mission phone call

Juan Cortez : Tommy, Thomas, it's Cortez. Look, the French are giving me all kinds of trouble, amigo. Damn hypocrites. They spend a hundred years stealing from poor countries and they call me a thief! I am going to need your help as soon as possible, amigo. So please hurry, Tommy, I need you, alright? I hate the damn French.

Trivia

  • The song heard during the opening cutscene in the Malibu Club is "All Night Long" by Mary Jane Girls. It is also been featured on the radio station Fever 105.

Walkthrough

Not withstanding some tedious racing or checkpoint missions, "Death Row" is perhaps the most difficult mission in the whole game as it requires skills in all areas. Pick-up some Body Armor and heavy weapons (assault rifle, sniper rifle, Uzi, maybe the shotgun) before accepting the mission. Time is essence here, so you will need a fast vehicle.

Head to the junkyard and you'll face a barricade at the gate, and if your car start spewing smoke when they start firing, there's a good chance it'll catch fire and roll out the way as it ploughs to their cars, causing mass destruction and saving yourself. This is quite difficult to engineer, however. A more sure-fire method is to pull in at the left side of the road just before the barricade and snipe their cars until they explode and take out the guards around them.
