GTA V Story Mode - {Prologue}

In 2004, Michael Townley, Trevor Philips and Brad Snider rob a Bobcat Security cash storage facility in Ludendorff. After locking several hostages including an unnamed Bobcat guard in a room, Trevor wires an explosive to the vault doors, and Michael detonates them via his phone. Michael and Trevor enter the vault and steal just under $180,000. As the crew make their escape, Michael is held at gunpoint by Jaspers, another Bobcat security guard, who also removes the mask from his head. Michael advises the guard to forget what he saw and leave, but Trevor shoots him in the head.
The trio blow open another door and leave the building, but are immediately swarmed by the local law enforcement. A dead security guard with a gunshot wound in his head can be seen inside the checkpoint booth at the facility gate. A massive gunfight erupts, forcing the crew to fend off the oncoming police before making their escape. The crew reach their getaway vehicle and are driven away, but they are pursued by more police vehicles, and their hired local getaway driver is shot in the head and killed. Michael pushes his corpse out of the door and grabs the wheel, crashing their pursuers' car into a roadside tree. The crew continues their journey towards the helicopter waiting for them, but are forced to divert their course after encountering a police roadblock. They then speed over the train tracks, but are not quick enough and the rear end of the vehicle is hit by an oncoming train, causing them to lose control and spin out into a nearby tree. The trio survive, and Trevor suggests an alternative route to the getaway chopper, but Michael insists that they stick to the original plan.
The crew then continues on foot through the town, but realizes the chopper is nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, FIB Agent Dave Norton, who is hiding around a corner, aims at Trevor with a Sniper Rifle, then shoots Brad as he walks into the path of the bullet. Agent Norton fires again, this time at Michael, who falls to the ground. He behaves as if he is critically injured and bleeding out, though he has no visible injuries. Before "dying", Michael tells Trevor to go on without him. Trevor is forced to take out the oncoming police officers alone, refusing to abandon his crew. He does eventually flee the scene after being overrun by a large number of police officers. After taking a nearby woman hostage, Trevor exclaims to the police officers that he will kill her if they get any closer. However, shortly after, Trevor lets her go and escapes into the snowy fields while still being pursued by armed police officers.
Some time later, at a cemetery, a funeral for Michael Townley is held. Dave Norton, the agent who "shot" him, supervises the proceedings, while Michael himself observes from a distance and flicks away his cigarette. The "mourning" Amanda Townley, Michael's wife, is seen beside the grave, along with other attendants. The mission ends with flowers being thrown onto the grave of Michael Townley.
The next mission, Franklin and Lamar, will automatically begin after the introductory theme.
