It was too late.

Jim Fitzgerald’s life was claimed by Niko along the train tracks. Another Lost member was mangled so badly that he couldn’t be identified.

Liberty City media nudges the Angels’ potential involvement, but the Lost know it was Ray.

Ashley: I love you, Johnny K.

Johnny: You're speaking a foreign language to me now, lady. Now get the fuck out of here.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: I got rid of those bikers for you. Johnny wasn't there, though.

Ray: The other guys is meant to be taking care of him. Don't worry about it, Nicky.

Niko Bellic was one step closer toward the vengeance he’s vigorously fought for.

[[classic swim]]

Niko: Hey, Roman. Can you do me a favor?

Roman: Anything for you, cousin. Just name it. You want some women?

Niko: It’s not that. I'm coming to collect you from the apartment. Wait for me there.

[[classic swim]]

Roman: I didn't have no scars until you arrived. Now, I am practically a chopping board I have so many cuts on me.

Niko: You’re a rich chopping board!

Roman: I worry for you, NB. Sometimes you just got to let the hate go.

[[classic swim]]

Ray: Johnny, that biker scumbag, has disappeared with the money. And every other mouth that came close to those diamonds is closed for good. Except for yours, that is. You gotta be grateful for that.

Niko: Screw you, Ray! I ain't your clean up guy no more.

“Nice place you've got here, Johnny. Not quite sure I meet the dress code.” - Thomas Stubbs III

[[classic swim]]

Stubbs: Your friend, Ray. Don't worry about him.

Johnny: Why not?

Stubbs: Apparently he and a lot of his associates are under some serious observation. And in the process of imploding. They'll either be dead or inside within a month or so. Best thing you can do - stay away from him.

[[classic swim]]

Johnny: Hey one more thing, Stubbs... why you doing this?

Stubbs: I told you. I was good for a favor.
