The Jewel Store Job (Loud Approach) - Mission Details:

The mission starts with the chosen crew all meeting at Darnell Bros, doing a final briefing before starting the heist. Franklin drives Michael, the gunman and the driver to Vangelico. On the way there, Michael stresses to the crew that they all need to be able to trust one another as they're all accomplices to a major crime and all introduce themselves to each other.

Once at the jewellery store, Franklin waits outside with the getaway bikes while Michael, the gunman and the driver ransack the store. If a good gunman is chosen, Gustavo Mota or Packie McReary, they'll be able to keep the hostages and store manager under control but if a bad gunman is chosen, Norm Richards, he'll do poorly with controlling everyone and Michael will be forced to kill the manager so they don't sound the alarm, failing the mission.

The alarm will eventually go off but more time is given depending on the hacker that is chosen. Paige Harris gives 90 seconds, Christian Feltz gives 60 seconds and Rickie Lukens will give 50 seconds. If Karim Denz is picked as the driver, he'll drop some of the take.

Once they have a large enough take, the three head outside to a traffic warden hounding Franklin. Michael interjects, throws the warden to the ground and says "You forget a thousand things every day, pal, make sure this is one of 'em". Michael leaves the store on foot, switching the play over to Franklin, who is now escaping with the take on motorbikes with the gunman and the driver.

The trio makes their way around the streets of Los Santos, with a four-star heat on their backs. They make their way through an underground tunnel that leads to the Los Santos sewer network. If a low-skilled gunman was chosen, he'll crash before the tunnel, losing the part of the take he was carrying.

They make their way out of the sewers, out onto the Los Santos river but the police have worked out their plan and are awaiting them. Play switches to Michael, who uses a van to crash into the pursuing cop cars through the river.

Once at the end of the river, the heat has died down and everyone comes to a halt. The bikes are loaded back onto the van and they all drive in the van back to the lockup. Once at the lockup, Lester tells the crew they'll get their cut once the jewels are sold. The group splits up to avoid any extra heat.

After the mission has been completed, the play switches to Franklin who's in the Vanilla Unicorn, on the phone to Tanisha. She's telling Franklin that she doesn't care about his new wealth and that it's never been what she was looking for. She notices the music in the background and gets angry with Franklin, saying he's still immature. The call ends with Franklin stating he's going to change.
