The scape
The characters try to get to the bank's garage. On the way, a police officer holds Michael, discovers his mask and claims he saw his face and would remember him. Michael responds with the words, “You forget a thousand things every day. Make sure this is one of them.” This dialogue plays a very important role in the development of the story as it progresses. At this point, the player is prompted to change their character to Trevor. Trevor shoots the cop and saves Michael. They then fight their way through a locked door and arrive at the bank's garage.
the shooting
This is where players learn the combat skills of GTA 5. Players are greeted by a squad of police waiting to catch them as they exit the garage. The player is now allowed to switch between Trevor and Michael at will. They eliminate all the cops and make their way through the snow to an SUV that has been placed there for their escape. They go in and out of the bank.
the kill
The characters leave as more cops follow. The contract killer is shot by the police and the characters abandon him. They drive into an open field after nearly colliding with a moving train. Their car is damaged and they continue on foot. They are then ambushed and Brad is shot. They take cover and fight the cops, but even Michael gets shot. Trevor tries to kill the cops and save Michael, who had already lost a lot of blood. Michael tells Trevor to leave the scene as more police are approaching him and Trevor will not be able to save Michael. Trevors is enraged by this, but eventually runs away, leaving Michael and Brad to die.
