Player notes
Franklin Clinton answers a call from Lester Crest, who assigns him another hit. Lester identifies Enzo Bonelli, a corrupt real estate developer with connections to organized crime, as the target. Bonelli has secured construction work through extortion, murder and labor racketeering, and Lester wants him removed so Gold Coast Development can benefit. Lester warns that his informant exposed the plan, so Bonelli is expecting trouble and has increased security.
Franklin goes to Bonelli's construction site in Pillbox Hill, Los Santos. Bonelli retreats toward the rooftop, where his helicopter is waiting. Franklin fights through the guards stationed in the unfinished building's lower levels and finds the construction elevators. He rides upward through the site, dealing with further armed protection as he works his way to the roof.
On the rooftop, Franklin faces Bonelli's remaining guards while Bonelli climbs into his helicopter and attempts to flee. Franklin brings the helicopter down, killing Bonelli, then leaves the construction site by elevator or parachute. Once he is clear of the area, Lester calls to confirm the job is finished and says no further hits will be available until attention around Bonelli's death fades.

Trivia
- โAfter pressing the button for each of the two elevators, Franklin will automatically reload his equipped weapon, even if the magazine was full.
- โIf Franklin flies a helicopter to the construction site, he will only need to deal with Bonelli and his bodyguards on that part of the site.
- โIf Franklin flies a helicopter to the construction site, and then, flies to a nearby helipad and takes out Bonelli's chopper there, he will call Lester immediately thereafter.
- โIn the original version, Franklin will hang up the pay phone while Lester tells him that Bonelli will have a lot of muscle. In the enhanced version, however, he will wait until Lester is finished speaking before hanging up.
- โThis mission is somewhat similar to Deconstruction for Beginners in GTA IV, due to both being located in construction areas and both involving a large shootout with mafia associates.
