The Plan[]
Henry explains the plan to Vito and Joe
Vito Scaletta receives a call from Henry Tomasino about a big deal he's setting up and asks Vito to meet him in Lincoln Park if he's interested. At the park, Henry explains that the only reason Carlo Falcone had Clemente killed was because he was selling dope and was stealing Carlo's customers. The only person left standing in Carlo's way of becoming the main supplier of drugs to Empire Bay was Frank Vinci, and he was planning to go after him next. Henry believes that if Falcone can sell drugs, they can too.
Henry explains that a kilo of heroin costs $3500 and they can make a profit of $7500 per kilo if they buy it from the Tongs and sell it to the suppliers themselves. The plan is to buy ten kilos, which will make them a hefty $75,000 in profit. All they need to do is borrow $35,000 from a loan shark he knows. Vito expresses concern about getting involved in the drug business, but Joe and Henry convince him to go along with the plan because it's easy money.
The Deal[]
Borrowing the money from Bruno
They go to see Bruno Levine, a loan shark who has ties to The Commission, to borrow the money they need to buy the drugs. However, Bruno decides the loan is high risk and wants an additional $20,000 in return by Friday, explaining that the debt will go up an additional $10,000 per week after that. Henry agrees and Bruno lends them the money.
The three leave Bruno's Office and drive the Sea Gift Fishing Co. in Chinatown, where they meet with Zhe Yun Wong of the Triads to buy the heroin. The deal goes smoothly but as they leave they're approached by some men masquerading as police officers who try to take the drugs from them. Henry realizes they're not cops and a gunfight erupts.
After they finish off the gangsters at the warehouse, they leave only to be ambushed and chased through the streets by another group. After they finally lose them, they make their way to Evergreen Street in Hunters Point to begin selling the heroin. After spending the afternoon selling the drugs around Empire Bay, the three head out for a night on the town.
Walkthrough[]
Buying the Drugs[]
Buying the drugs
After the phone call, get dressed and drive to Lincoln Park to meet with Henry and Joe. You will need a four-door vehicle so you can drive them both around later. Once Henry is done explaining the deal, drive them to Bruno's Office on Palisade Street to borrow the money. After that, drive to the Sea Gift Fishing Co. warehouse in Chinatown to buy the drugs from the Triads. When you arrive at the warehouse, instead of following the man who greets you, walk straight ahead and you will find Playboy magazine #31 at the end of an alley behind a bin.
The Gunfight[]
As the three leave with the drugs, they will be approached by several men pretending to be police officers and a gunfight will break out. Head up the stairs and make your way into the warehouse. In the first hallway you will find Playboy magazine #33 on the floor to the right. Despite Henry's instructions, you can stop and shoot the men in the parking lot from the windows here, which will make the fight in the warehouse easier.
Continue fighting your way through the warehouse and then into the parking lot. It's advisable not to shoot the cars full of men who drive in, as you will be needing one of them in good shape to make your escape later, as yours has been destroyed. Once you've killed all the gangsters there, head to the south side of the lot and you'll find Playboy magazine #32 on the ground behind a Shubert Truck.
To make the chase a lot easier, bring your own vehicle like the Smith Custom 200 or a Cossack, supercharging them is recommended. Instead of driving your souped up car into the warehouse, stop and grab a random car which is parked just outside of the warehouse. Grab your main car and park it on the right of the of the gates, and get in the random car and then drive through the gate to the warehouse. Once you get through the warehouse shootout, simply run and open the gates and retrieve the car you parked. This will allow you to outrun your pursuers easier. The downside is that you have to get through the shootout flawlessly without dying, or your car that you parked will despawn.
Car Chase[]
As you leave the warehouse, two more cars will start chasing you and opening fire. Just keep driving, as Henry and Joe will help shoot them off. Be careful, because sometimes nearby cops will join in the chase with 3 stars on you, which makes the task of escaping even more aggravating. After you manage to outrun or kill your pursuers, simply drive to Evergreen Street in Hunters Point.
Trivia[]
- During the dialogue on their way to Bruno, Henry will ironically mention three other guys that could give big loans after being asked by Joe, the first two being Carlo Falcone and Frank Vinci. He, then, mentioned that the third guy is "not in business" anymore after "somebody blew up a room full of his guys and then shot him point blank in the face", following the Empire Arms hotel shootout.
- It's possible to skip the chase altogether after leaving the warehouse by driving through the narrow alleyway ahead instead of following the road to the right.
- The song in the final cutscene is Bo Diddley.
