[[Niko]] drives the group to the [[Bank of Liberty]] branch on [[Columbus Ave]] which is located in [[The Exchange]], [[Algonquin]]. They rob the bank of [[Money|$]]1 million and make their [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|escape]] through the streets and [[Emerald LTA|subways]] of [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]], [[Algonquin]]. Packie is proud that he and his gang, including Niko, kept their heads and managed to get the money to split between themselves. Niko is awarded $250,000 at the end of the mission (which makes day to day purchases such as weapons, food and clothing no longer a concern for the remainder of the game, despite Niko continuing to cite earning money as a motivation in later missions). | [[Niko]] drives the group to the [[Bank of Liberty]] branch on [[Columbus Ave]] which is located in [[The Exchange]], [[Algonquin]].

* The outfits Niko and the group wears during this mission (suits with [[Balaclava|balaclavas]]), the weapons used (AR-15s), the large black bags of money slung over each robber's back and the general set-up of the mission is an obvious homage to the 1995 film ''[[wp:Heat (1995 film)|Heat]]'', in which Robert De Niro and his henchmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzuPgkik378&NR=1 rob a bank in similar fashion], including a subsequent run-and-gun shootout in the surrounding city streets of Downtown L.A. In both heists a member of the gang named Michael dies. | * The outfits Niko and the group wears during this mission (suits with [[Balaclava|balaclavas]]), the weapons used (AR-15s), the large black bags of money slung over each robber's back and the general set-up of the mission is an obvious homage to the 1995 film ''[[wp:Heat (1995 film)|Heat]]'', in which Robert De Niro and his henchmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzuPgkik378&NR=1 rob a bank in similar fashion], including a subsequent run-and-gun shootout in the surrounding city streets of Downtown L.A.

Furthermore, if the player takes too long targeting the first two police officers in the subway they will kill one accomplice and the player will fail the mission. The same thing happens in The Job when Tommy Vercetti is on his way to the safe; if the player fails to eliminate the [[Patrol Invest Group|two PIGs]] on the second floor quickly enough they will kill Cam, leading to mission failure. | ||
