Player notes

Michael meets Dave Norton outside FIB Headquarters in Downtown Los Santos, where Steve Haines and Andreas Sanchez are waiting. Haines says the IAA is interrogating Ferdinand Kerimov, the man Michael tried to identify at the morgue, and fears that Kerimov will expose the FIB's corruption. Michael refuses to help, but Haines uses his authority over Dave to force them both into extracting Kerimov from IAA Headquarters.

Michael rides with Dave to the Dutch London warehouse and calls Franklin Clinton to bring him in. Dave reveals that Trevor Philips has already been contacted. At the warehouse, Michael introduces Franklin and Trevor, then sets out the operation: Trevor will fly the Frogger, Michael will take Kerimov from the building, and Franklin will cover them with a sniper rifle. Trevor flies Michael to IAA Headquarters while Franklin takes position atop the Arcadius Business Center.

Michael rappels down the IAA building and sees Karen and other agents torturing Kerimov. He breaks through the window, seizes Kerimov and uses him as cover while Franklin shoots the agents from across the street. Trevor lifts Michael and Kerimov away as Franklin clears further resistance. IAA helicopters pursue them. Franklin brings down one, Michael destroys the rest, and Trevor returns to the Dutch London warehouse. FIB agents take Kerimov away in a van, and Michael and Trevor part there.

Trivia

  • โ—†This mission was elaborated on page 2 of IGN's article, . Said article was published on September 3, 2013, two weeks before GTA V s release.
  • โ—†In Game Informer s demo review, it was mentioned that the target would be injured due to one of the agents smashing a flashlight on his finger, causing his finger to bleed. However, in the actual game, there is no effect on his hands.
  • โ—†In the Brazilian Portuguese version of the game, the name of the mission is "Dois รฉ bom, Trรชs รฉ Foda", which can be literally translated as Two is good, Three is Fucked Up (probably making a reference to what Michael, Franklin and Trevor can do together).
  • โ—†The mission bears some resemblance to the film The A-Team, where Hannibal Smith, Murdock, and B.A. use similar methods to extract a target.
  • โ—†In the game's files and official soundtrack, this mission is referred to as "The Agency Heist".
  • โ—†Even if Franklin has moved into his new house when this mission is started, Dave will still say they will send some agents to his aunt's house.
  • โ—†During the mission, Franklin's Heavy Sniper will automatically have an advanced scope fitted and a much higher scope magnification. Should the player replace it with a regular scope after the mission, Franklin will still have to pay the regular installation price if he wants the advanced scope reinstalled.
  • โ—†During the rappelling section, Michael fires his AP Pistol in three-round bursts instead of fully-automatic mode (though he can fire single or two-round burst shots if the player slightly taps the firing button).
  • โ—†During the mission, Michael wears a grey/black jumpsuit with rappelling gear over it. The same jumpsuit is worn by Michael during The Merryweather Heist, and the outfit is also worn in addition to a balaclava during the rappelling part of the roof entry approach of The Bureau Raid. After completing the main storyline, the jumpsuit is added to the player's wardrobe, although the rappelling gear and the gas mask cannot be obtained.
  • โ—†During this mission, Michael uses the Advanced Rifle, although the player will not be able to obtain it before completing The Big Score. If the mission is replayed, it will retain any added attachment.
  • โ—†Franklin will always wear the same outfit in this mission. Immediately after the mission, the player may switch to Franklin and see him wearing what he wore prior to the mission.
  • โ—†A pre-release photo from the mission shows Franklin in his default outfit, hinting that a particular outfit for the mission was not always intended by developers.
  • โ—†After this mission, Michael will lose the 2000 ammo he gained for the Assault Rifle/Carbine Rifle in The Jewel Store Job. This is perhaps caused by a glitch.
  • โ—†After the mission, the Frogger at Trevor's airfield will be his own custom-made version. It will respawn there if it is abandoned or destroyed, and will appear in several later missions as well.
  • โ—†This is the first mission in the game to feature all three protagonists.
  • โ—†This mission's name may be a reference to the GTA IV mission, Three's a Crowd. This is because Karen makes her first appearance in both missions across the games.
  • โ—†While rappelling as Michael, first-person mode is unavailable.
