Crime and Punishment

Overview

After Vlad's death, Roman hides in a dumpster, terrified of the Russians. Niko finds him, but both are knocked out and taken to Mikhail Faustin's basement. Dimitri Rascalov tells them Vlad's death can be forgiven, and Niko starts working for Faustin's mob. The mission introduces the police computer and the vigilante system.

In the basement Dimitri does most of the talking. He tells the cousins that Faustin did not care much for Vlad and that Niko could be useful to the organisation. The scene introduces the two men who dominate the first act of the game and shows the difference between the calm Dimitri and the unpredictable Faustin.
