The Cousins Bellic is the first mission in [[GTA IV]], where [[Roman Bellic]] welcomes [[Niko Bellic]] to America and takes him home.  
'''The Cousins Bellic''' is the first mission in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is given to protagonist [[Niko Bellic]] by his cousin [[Roman Bellic]] from the [[Platypus]]. The mission begins right after the introductory [[cutscene]].


==Transcript==
==Walkthrough==
''The whole game starts with the picture fading from black, showing an erotically dressed woman hitting a man, ([[Dave]]), with a sado whip. ''
The scene begins with the sounds of sado-masochism in a room aboard the [[Platypus]]. [[Niko Bellic]] begins knocking on the door, attempting to call [[Dave Bosoy]] out of the room. Another person, [[Hossan Ramzy]], calls to Niko, telling him to forget about Dave because they need to prepare for the docking. As Niko and Hossan discuss the "Land of Opportunity" and what are the plans, the ship is shown nearing the [[Statue of Happiness]]. Niko tells Hossan of his cousin Roman's successes: sports cars, condos, women, etc.,while a [[The Cook|a cook]] inspecting a [[Diamonds|diamond]] then mixing it into his recipe and a group of men packing [[heroin]] into a car are seen. The Platypus docks, and Niko and the other crew members depart the ship, and many are greeted by friends and family, until the only one left is Niko.
 
[[Dave Bosoy|Dave]]: “Daddy’s back, you bitches… Daddy’s back, you bitches!”
 
''Outside the door stands GTA IV’s main character, Niko Bellic, knocking at the door. ''
 
Niko: “Dave, come on. Come on, Dave!”
 
''Another man comes into the picture''
 
[[Hossan Ramzy]] : “Niko, what are you doing?”
 
Niko: “Dave, he's not coming”
 
Hossan: “Ah, ignore him. Come on, we got to get this thing ready before we dock. Let’s go”
 
''Niko follows Hossan. ''
''Camera is set outside, showing the boat they’re on. ''
 
Hossan: “Here, pass me that. There”
 
''Niko gives him his baggage and climbs up the ladder. The two men spot the big city''
 
Hossan: “Whooh, yeah! There she is… Liberty City.”
 
Niko: “Yeah”
 
Hossan: “You ever been?”
 
Niko: “No”
 
Hossan: “Crazy place, Niko.”
 
''Inside the boat are some people rigging up a car to a platform. ''
''Picture is coming to Niko again''
 
Niko: “What you going to do?”
 
Hossan: “I might come back on board… or I might try to make a go of it. Like they say; it is the land of opportunity. I always wanted to make it big… own a nice place, get a dog, a house… Live the dream!”
 
Niko: “Like my cousin.”
 
Hossan: “Oh yeah?”
 
Niko: “ Yes – he’s got the lot – house, women, cars, parties… he writes me these wild emails, and after I got into trouble I thought maybe uh… and then I got this gig, and I spend the next seven months with you fine people and I forget…”
 
''The picture shows the other crew men again, showing a cook putting diamonds in his baking. ''
 
Niko: “After the war finished I couldn’t get a job, nobody could… So I did some dumb things and got involved with some idiots.”
 
Hossan: “Ahh, we all do dumb things. That’s what makes us human.”
 
Niko: “Could be.”
 
''The boat docks. A machine lifts the car from the boat and onto the dock. All the people on the boat gets off to the dock, running to their awaiting girlfriends or other family. Everybody, except Niko. A man bumps into Niko. ''
 
Niko: “Hey!”
 
''Soon every person has left the dock. Niko is standing there waiting. The camera is filming the road outside the docks, showing a car driving towards the docks at full speed. The car is skidding, narrowly missing a moving platform holding a car. Niko’s smiling, realizing it’s his cousin driving the car''
 
Roman: “Niko! My cousin! I can’t believe it, you’re here!”
 
Niko: “Hey!”
 
Roman: “Welcome to America!”
 
Niko: (In Serbian) “''Good to see you, cousin''.”
 
Roman: “What?”
 
Niko: “Good to see you, man – what, you forgot our language?”
 
Roman: “Uhhh… ''cabbages''?
 
:''Note: when the a word in a sentence in the script is written with both bold and Italic text, like the word cabbages above, it is in a different language; in this case, Serbian. ''
 
Roman: “Maybe a little. I’ve been here 10 years! You can speak English. Remember, we learned of the English girls with the big…”
 
Niko: “Hey, a little… not so good”
 
Roman: “Ahh, you’ll be fine. Better than my Serbian.”
 
''He grabs Nikos baggage''
 
Roman: “So good to see you, cousin. I can’t believe you made it! Ha! Shit… I have to tell you I had quite a night last night. Two women! The land of opportunity. I’ve made it.”
 
''He puts his baggage into his rear trunk. ''
''He opens a bottle of unspecified vodka and drinks it.''
 
Roman: “Shit, man, I’m still a touch drunk.”
 
''He nearly falls over''
 
Niko: “A touch?”
 
''Roman starts to shout out. ''
 
Roman: “My cousin is here!”
 
''Some workers look over at the commotion Roman's causing. ''
 
Niko: “Woah! Roman, come on. Come on, relax.”
 
Roman: “We’re going to rule the world!”
 
:“Yeah, yeah, whatever, buddy.”
 
Worker 2: “Just take over the world someplace else, alright?”
 
Worker 1: “Yeah, buddy!”
 
Worker 2: “You’re in the goddamn way.”
 
Roman: “Screw you… Screw you all! My cousin is here!”
 
Niko: “Hey, come on, man!”
 
Roman: “Niko Bellic! He’s the fucking man, bitches!”
 
Niko: “Roman, come on, let’s go… to the mansion, eh?“
 
Roman: “Yes, the mansion! Whoah.”
 
''Roman stumbles.''


Roman: “Maybe you should drive…”
Roman finally arrives and greets Niko with a hug. Roman tells Niko he is very happy for seeing him and comments he is drunk. Niko then asks him why he's driving a [[Roman's Taxi|taxi]] instead of a sports car, to which he mumbles that his other car's in the shop. He's too drunk to drive himself, so he gets in the passenger seat and asks Niko to drive them to his [[Broker Safehouse|apartment]] in [[Hove Beach]]. Niko begins driving towards the apartment while he and Roman discuss about the terrorist threats, the inmigrants in the city and [[Express Car Service|Roman's cab depot]]. When they arrive to the apartment, Niko realizes Roman has been lying, as both enter the tiny place and Niko complaints to Roman about the fake e-mails he sent. Roman explains him he just needed someone he could do well, and the two start discussing about life at their old country.


Niko: “Maybe I should.”
Later, Roman rushes off to get his taxi back to the taxi firm that he owns, and tells Niko to meet him there. As he leaves, he receives a nasty call from someone he calls [[Vladimir Glebov|Vlad]].
 
Roman: “Okay!”
 
Niko: “Okay. Hey, is this a cab? Where’s the sports car?”
 
Roman: “Err, it’s in the shop… come on!”

''Now it’s the player driving.''
 
Roman: “Drive us to our place on Mohawk, it’s just up the road. I’ll let you know when we’re there.”
 
Niko: “Why don’t you show me around the city?”
 
Roman: “Fucking terrorists”
 
Niko: “What?”
 
Roman: “Terrorists! There has been a big scare and you can’t go across the bridges so good. You, without a visa. I would stay in Broker. Fuck it, stay in Hove Beach. Everyone like us does.”
 
''The Cousins Bellic drive past Roman's cab depot. ''
 
Roman: “That’s my cab depot, cousin. It is where I make all the money. Niko, you ever had two women at once? Four big titties to be playing with? ''I thought I had died and gone to Heaven, man''.”
 
Niko: “''I can’t prove that I have''.”
 
Roman: “Cousin, It’s been too long… You should have come out earlier. Think of all the girls you’ve been missing out on!”
 
''Roman's cab stops outside a mediocre apartment building in Hove Beach. ''
 
Niko: “This is the mansion?”
 
Roman: “Just a temporary place. The mansion is coming, cousin. That’s the dream… Follow me.”

''They’re walking in''
 
Roman: “Come in, come in! Make yourself at home… what’s mine is yours!”
 
''Roman runs forward, and stomps on a cockroach''
 
Roman: “Got him! Little bastard. If he paid some rent I wouldn’t care…”
 
 
 
Roman: “Oh… shit… Oh, that’s not nice… Ah, cousin, it’s so good to see you! Yeah!”
 
''Roman jumps onto his bed and lands on another cockroach.''
 
Roman: “Shit.. well, I needed to change anyway. So!”
 
Niko: “So…”
 
Roman: “So…”
 
Niko: “So, you full of crap, or what?”
 
Roman: “What?”
 
Niko: “Where’s luxury condo? Where’s sports car? Where’s Barbara with big titties and Stephanie who sucks like a vacuum?”
 
Roman: “What you talking about?”
 
Niko: “In your letters to my mother, in your letters to me… all I hear about is Mr. Big, Mr. Roman, living the American dream. Cars, parties, women, money, the beach… opportunity! I come here, and the only thing big about your life is the cockroaches!”
 
Roman: “That’s right, I got the best cockroaches, I got the best dirt!”
 
Niko: “Screw you, you idiot!”
 
Roman: “Okay, I’m an idiot, but you must admit I have the best line in bullshit you ever heard.”
 
Niko: “Yeah, this I know. Asshole.”
 
Roman: “But here, all I needed was one good guy. One good guy, I could do well. Not take over the world, but do okay. Now, maybe I have this. But what about you? What about you, cousin?”
 
Niko: “What? What about me?”
 
Roman: “Well… why you leave home after all this time? First, I hear you’re running with the wrong kind, then I hear you joined the merchant navy, now you’re here. You never tell me anything.”
 
Niko: “Huh.. No. “
 
Roman: “What do you mean ‘no’?”
 
Niko: “No, I never tell you anything. Another time.”
 
Roman: “Oooh, mystery man… strange and exotic sailor! What happened? Did your captain make you pregnant?”
 
Niko: “Screw you! No, no, it’s nothing like that. The ships were fine. It was before that, two things. You remember, during the war we did some bad things and bad things happened to us. War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other. I was very young, and very angry. Maybe that is no excuse…
 
''Niko turns over to Roman. He is asleep''
 
Niko: “ “Roman? Roman! Are you sleeping, you fat fuck? Come on!”
 
Roman: “Huh! No! no way! What’s the time? Shit… I’ve got to get the cab back. It’s on a shift.”
 
''He takes a gulp of his coffee and accidently spits it at Niko.''
 
Roman: “Oh, Jesus! Tastes like a rat shat in it!”
 
Niko: “Roman?”
 
Roman:Niko, I’ve got to run, come meet me at the cab office.
 
Niko: “Jesus… what?”
 
Roman: “It’s easy. Out the door, turn left, then the first left at the diner,”
 
Niko: “What are you talking about? I don’t…”
 
Roman: -go down one block and turn right on Iroquois,
 
Niko: “I’m new here…”
 
Roman: -then walk all the way down and we’re right there on the left on the corner of Cisco Street. It’s really flash. We got lots of titties and some incredible motors. Niko. Give me a hug. Good to have you here, cousin… I’ve got something for you.”
 
''His phone is ringing''
 
Roman: “Oh, damn… damn, damn, damn! Yes, Vlad, sorry, forgive me, okay, no… no. Please don’t cut my cock off, eh? Oh, okay, bye… Yes, no, uh, okay.”
 
''Roman has left his apartment''
 
==Walkthrough==
===Opening Scenes===
The scene begins with the sounds of sado-masochism in a room aboard the ''[[Platypus]]''. [[Niko Bellic]], the player character, begins knocking on the door, attempting to call [[Dave Bosoy|Dave]] out of the room. Another person, [[Hossan Ramzy]], calls to Niko, telling him to forget about Dave, and that they need to prepare for the docking. As Niko and Hossan discuss the "Land of Opportunity," the [[Platypus|vessel]] is shown nearing the [[Statue of Happiness]]. Niko tells of his cousin [[Roman]]'s successes: [[Comet|sports cars]], [[Middle Park East Safehouse|condos]], parties, [[Mallorie Bardas|women]], etc., while a person is shown inspecting a diamond, and then mixing it into a mixture in a mixing bowl. The ''[[Platypus]]'' docks, and Niko and the other crew members depart the ship, and many are greeted by friends and family, until the only one left is [[Niko]].


===Roman's Apartment===
== Reward ==
When Roman finally arrives (drunk/intoxicated), he's actually driving a [[Roman's Taxi|taxi]]. Niko asks about it and Roman mumbles that his other car's in the shop. He's too plastered to drive himself, so he gets in the passenger seat and asks Niko to drive them to his apartment.
The player gets $25, earns the "Off The Boat" [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement/trophy]], and the next mission is unlocked.


The drive begins near the docks in [[East Hook]]. The on-screen instructions explain driving basics and how to use the radar map. The [[GPS]] system plots a course highlighted by a yellow line on your radar. One must simply follow the yellow line to Roman's apartment in [[Hove Beach]], [[Broker]].
==Trivia==
*The first song heard in the game is "[[Soviet Connection]]" by [[Michael Hunter]], GTA IV's theme. The second song heard is "Schweineé by Glukoza, inside Roman's cab. It is featured on the radio station [[Vladivostok FM]].
*It seems that Roman's Taxi in this mission has less acceleration. This is presumably because this is the first car driven by new players that are not yet familiar with the driving style (especially those familiar with the controls used in the GTA III era games, as opposed to the different controls used in GTA IV).
*The mission is very similar to the opening of the Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption as both protagonists arrive by boat.
*The song in Roman's car will change if you skip the cutscene. But it will always be in Vladivostok FM
*Two important elements of the story this game and its two episodic packs ([[Lost and Damned]] & [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]) briefly appear in the opening cutscene; the [[Diamonds]] and the [[Heroin]].
*When Roman is talking to Niko about the loss of his native language for English, he says "Ahh, you'll be fine. Better than my Serbian.", possibly confirming that Niko and Roman are in fact ethnic Serbs.
*Niko's suitcase in the cutscene is Burberry tailored, having the unique tartan pattern. This is one of the few real-life brands that are existent within the game.
*Unlike previous GTA games, the Grand Theft Auto IV introduction (showing the logo) is made during the first cutscene instead of before starting the game.
*This mission marks the first appearances of [[Niko Bellic]], [[Roman Bellic]], [[Hossan Ramzy]], and [[The Cook]].
*Niko places his suitcase next to the front door of the apartment, but when the cutscene ends the suitcase is no longer there.
*If you try to enter the apartment before parking in the space (and thus starting the cutscene), the apartment  will be locked.
*This is one of two missions in the GTA IV Era to feature both the Diamonds and the Heroin, the other one being [[Departure Time]].


===Closing Scene===
==Gallery==
The closing scene showcases the tiny apartment in which Roman lives. Niko confronts him with his lies, and Roman insists that luxury and [[money]] are coming. He rushes off to get his taxi back to the taxi firm that he owns, and tells Niko to meet him there. As he leaves, he gets what appears to be a nasty call from someone he calls "[[Vladimir Glebov]]."

Another person, Hossan Ramzy, calls to Niko, telling him to forget about Dave because they need to prepare for the docking. As Niko and Hossan discuss the "Land of Opportunity" and what are the plans, the ship is shown nearing the Statue of Happiness. Niko tells Hossan of his cousin Roman's successes: sports cars, condos, women, etc.,while a a cook inspecting a diamond then mixing it into his recipe and a group of men packing heroin into a car are seen. The Platypus docks, and Niko and the other crew members depart the ship, and many are greeted by friends and family, until the only one left is Niko.

Roman finally arrives and greets Niko with a hug. Roman tells Niko he is very happy for seeing him and comments he is drunk. Niko then asks him why he's driving a taxi instead of a sports car, to which he mumbles that his other car's in the shop. He's too drunk to drive himself, so he gets in the passenger seat and asks Niko to drive them to his apartment in Hove Beach. Niko begins driving towards the apartment while he and Roman discuss about the terrorist threats, the inmigrants in the city and Roman's cab depot. When they arrive to the apartment, Niko realizes Roman has been lying, as both enter the tiny place and Niko complaints to Roman about the fake e-mails he sent. Roman explains him he just needed someone he could do well, and the two start discussing about life at their old country.

Later, Roman rushes off to get his taxi back to the taxi firm that he owns, and tells Niko to meet him there. As he leaves, he receives a nasty call from someone he calls Vlad.
