'''Three Leaf Clover''' is the third and final mission offered by [[Packie McReary]], involving robbing the [[Bank of Liberty]] in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], [[Algonquin]]. [[Packie McReary|Packie]] and [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] take along their friend [[Michael Keane|Michael]] and Packie's brother [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]] for extra [[Armor|protection]].

== Overview ==
Niko drives the group to the [[Bank of Liberty]] which is located in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], [[Algonquin]]. They rob the bank of $1 million [[Dollar|USD]] and make their [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|escape]] through the streets and [[Emerald LTA|subways]] of [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], [[Algonquin]]. Packie is proud that he and his gang, including [[Niko]] kept their heads and managed to get the money to split between themselves.

== Walkthrough ==
[[Image:Bank-rob1.jpg|thumb|250px|right|"Get on the floor!" In this picture, Niko, Derrick, and Packie threaten all the customers down to the floor.]]
The mission is split up into 4 sections. The drive to the bank, the shootout in the streets, the subway, and the drive back to Packie's house.
Before arriving at [[Packie McReary|his]] [[Maureen McReary|mother's]] house, Packie will have texted you about wearing a smart suit and shoes from [[Perseus]]. When you arrive at his house, you will meet [[Derrick McReary]], [[Gerald McReary]], and their friend [[Michael Keane]]. Gerald does not take lightly to Niko being involved in the family business and reminds [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] that [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]] has returned. After the cutscene, Packie tells Niko to get a car with four doors so they can all fit.

This is the first section drive to the [[Algonquin|Southern Algonquin]] branch of the [[Bank of Liberty]]. A cutscene will show [[Niko Bellic|Niko]], [[Packie McReary|Packie]], [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]], and [[Michael Keane|Michael]] threatening all the customers to get on the floor of the bank. Derrick and Packie have an argument, giving one of the hostages ([[Eugene Reaper]]), the chance to shoot Michael and kill him. Packie and Derrick kill Eugene in retaliation. The team then blows up the vault door.

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 in GTA IV|wanted level]] level. Due to the heavy presence of [[NOOSE|heavily armed officers]] and [[Vehicles in GTA IV|vehicles]], escaping at this point is extremely difficult. There is roughly 16 standard cops spread out over the street. Packie, Derrick, and Niko shoot their way through an alleyway (there is 4 swat members and 8 other cops you have to kill) and three streets in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]]. The first street you come across 2 cars (one swat car and one normal police car) with about 6 men in total. The second street has the most amount of cops in the level so take cover as there are cops on fire exits and several men on the ground, bringing the total to 22 cops. The final street is the easiest just run straight across to where Packie and Derrick are heading. You don't have to kill the cops in this part, just run right past them. Soon, the trio are trapped in the final alleyway by a [[Annihilator|police helicopter]] but then Packie leads them down into [[Emerald LTA|a subway station]].

The police are waiting for them down in the [[Emerald LTA|station]]. [[Niko Bellic|Niko]], aided by [[Packie McReary|Packie]] and [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]], shoots down most of the [[FIB|FIB officers]] in the subway station, but more of them keep coming down. 

When you enter the subway entrance, there are two cops shooting at Packie and Derrick so make them go first and equip your SMG or shotgun to kill them. The next part of the subway is killing 4 cops waiting for Niko and the crew, after dealing with them there is 8 noose coming up the stairs so equip your assault rifle and to try to aim for their heads, in orde to save ammo and health (in which there is one nearby). Go down the steps and into the subway to escape there are 8 guys across the tracks, if you have a rocker launcher, just fire at them, most likely they will all be killed. When you get onto the tracks 10 NOOSE officers try to follow you, kill them if you want, but eventually Packie and Derrick are going to make a run for it so try not to kill all of them. This is the final encounter with police until you get topside, all the while Packie and Derrick argue about Michael's death, with Niko telling them to shut up. Eventually, Packie leads the team back to the surface via a maintenance entrance in [[Easton]], [[Algonquin]], by which time the wanted level has be reduced to only three stars, easing [[police]] presence but still posing a challenge to the player.

Once outside, a parked [[Huntley Sport]] is available for the player to steal and use to ferry the team and evade the police for good. When they finally lose the police, Packie asks Niko to take him and [[Derrick McReary|his brother Derrick]] back to his [[Maureen McReary|Mom's]] house in [[Meadows Park]], [[Dukes]] (on Savannah Avenue near the [[Monoglobe]]). On the way, Packie explains how they will split the [[money]]. [[Niko Bellic|Niko]], [[Packie McReary|Packie]] and [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]] get $250,000 each. The remaining $250,000 will be given to [[Michael Keane|Michael's]] parents since he died in the heist. On average, Niko, Packie and Derrick will kill over 80 cops.

== Completion ==
Following successful completion of this mission, [[Gerald McReary]] will call Niko and ask to see him in [[Dukes]], 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, opening up the [[Booth Tunnel]] and [[Hickey Bridge]]. Consequently Niko is able to travel to [[Alderney]] legally, with the entire [[GTA IV|map]] now open to [[Niko Bellic|the player]].

This will also unlock the '''Full Exploration''' [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement]] on the [[Xbox 360]] or [[PC]] version. Or, if the [[PlayStation 3]] version is being played, the player gets a [[Achievements in GTA IV|trophy]], '''Full Exploration.'''

Shortly after this mission [[Packie]] will call [[Niko]] and be added as a [[Friendships in GTA IV|friend]].

== Trivia ==
* The outfit Niko wears during this mission (suits with [[wp: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 may be a 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.
* The amount of [[money]] that Niko grabs is unknown, however it is thought to be $1 million [[Dollar|USD]] because Niko, Packie, and Derrick each get $250,000 and Michael's parents get $250,000 making the total of the money 1 million [[Dollar|dollars]].
* The [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|five star wanted level]] that [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] gains after the robbery cannot even be removed with [[Cheats in GTA IV|cheats]].
* Some of the [[NOOSE]] and [[FIB]] agents shoot at [[Niko]] and his team from fire escapes above the streets of Chinatown. How they got up there in so little time remains unknown. Also, there is not much reason for the [[NOOSE|agents]] to be shooting from above since there are sufficient lethal agents taking cover behind their cars.
* If you kill the pilot of the [[Annihilator]] that corners you, it will explode instantly despite being very low over the ground.
*[[Luis Fernando Lopez]], the protagonist of [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], is seen in this mission, and as past missions in Grand Theft Auto IV with multiple protagonists, this mission will be seen from Luis' point of view.
*Reception of this mission by fans has shown that these types of missions are very popular.

== [[Executions|Deaths]] ==
* [[Eugene Reaper]], an [[Liberty City in GTA IV|LC]] Gun Club member - Reaper was kill by Niko's gang because Eugene killed [[Packie]]'s partner, [[Michael Keane]].
* [[Michael Keane]], [[Packie McReary|Packie]]'s partner - Keane was killed by Eugene Reaper as an act of revenge for robbing the [[Bank of Liberty|bank]].
* A heavy amount of [[NOOSE]] and [[FIB]] officers - Niko and his team ended pretty much every NOOSE and FIB agent in [[Algonquin]] to escape [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|home free]] with the [[money]] ($1 million [[Dollar|USD]]).
