Franklin deals with any guards that patrolling before Michael navigates his way around the freighter. Michael then plants four sticky bombs at various places on the freighter. As he's planting the fourth one, the alarm is triggered, sending a swarm of Merryweather guards. Franklin deals with the guards and an attack chopper while Michael plants the final bomb.
