The story behind GTA 5 Mission 70 - Lamar Down

Tanisha wants Franklin to get there and save Lamar as usual, but Franklin is too tired of it. Hence, he tries to deny Tanisha's wish but still has to accept it due to Tanisha desperately begging him. As Tanisha leaves, Franklin calls Lester and asks him to invite Michael and Trevor to this mission.

So, despite being in a bad relationship, Michael and Trevor still show up to help Michael rescue Lamar. The three protagonists work together again, raiding the sawmill and shooting everyone at sight. After killing the Ballas, the three men get Lamar out to the Forum Drive.

There, Franklin and Lamar from GTA 5 have a little quarrel. Franklin is very angry at the fact that he always has to be the one pulling Lamar out of the problem, just for his head right into it again. Initially, Franklin suggests Lamar stay civilized and stay away from illegal "gang banging" activities from now on. He also gives Lamar $50, and advise him to get a real job.

As Lamar leaves the house, Steve Haines and Dave Norton show up and ask Franklin to eliminate Trevor. They're annoyed by Trevor's violent behavior, and they don't trust Trevor at all. However, considering the tight relationship with Trevor, Franklin denies, suggesting that they should hire Michael to do that instead. However, after finding out the secret behind the past's raid, Trevor doesn't trust Michael anymore, so the two cops don't have anyone else to order. The mission ends as Steve and Dave drive off.

Headshots - Shoot 18 enemies in their heads: There are a bunch of enemies out there, so you can shoot them down as many as possible. Using Michael makes this requirement a lot easier, as you can slow down time for a more precise shot.
Accuracy - Complete the mission with 70% of your shots on target: Again, use Michael ability to aim better, and you can also pick up a shotgun on the ground. The shotgun unleashes packs of bullets, which makes it easier to hit.
