| - Unfortunately for her, two security guards find the laptop moments before she arrives. The guards agree to take it upstairs. Sam is forced to follow the guards through the bank. She remains hidden and avoids other guards as they proceed to the top floor and enter the room where they had stolen the icon from earlier. Eventually, she gets the laptop back after the guards leave it on a table. However, as she exits through the doors, they open and in comes Alexei. He gets a call from Viktor who tells him that Eddie is chasing after him. Depending on the player's choice affects what happens next. If Eddie helped Sam, then she listens to the phone call and decides she has to help him. She waits for Alexei to leave the room and then follows him out. If Eddie didn't help her, she leaves the room while he is on the phone to Viktor. However, she is caught by a security guard as she leaves. Alexei is surprised to see her and she is captured. She is then taken to his car, beaten and used as a hostage by Viktor later. If Eddie helped her however, she follows Alexei to the lifts and sneaks into the underground parking lot of the bank. She enters his car and arrives at the boat with him. The bank is also briefly mentioned during Mitch's story but is never actually seen. In Shoreditch Boys, a brief news report mentions the robbery but no one comments on it at the time. In Desperate Measures, after Jackie Philips is kidnapped again by the Thieves in Law, she leaves a note behind at the safe house telling the police that Viktor is the leader of the illegal gang. Mitch tells the crew who Viktor is and what he owns because Harvey doesn't know who it is. He asks Mitch if he was the owner of the bank that got robbed which is confirmed by Mitch. What happens to the bank after the events of the game are unclear. Because Viktor Skobel is dead it would likely be sold and given to a new owner.
