A Cat in a Bag is the tenth mission in The Getaway. It is given to protagonist Mark Hammond by Charlie Jolson as a continuation of the previous mission. It is also the last mission which Mark does for Charlie Jolson.
Mission
Mark thinks he has hit the jackpot. He phones Liam and offers to give him Jamahl's money and explains that Yasmin is dealing with Charlie. Mark also tells Liam that although he is to meet Charlie at King's Cross, he feels that Charlie is already dead. At King's Cross, Mark decides to play a trick on Jake and the lads. Mark finds a cat which he puts in the bag which should contain the cash. Then, Mark is confronted by Jake, Sparky and Eyebrows. Mark throughs the bag to Jake and asks where Alex is, but Jake tells Mark that Charlie was not going to hand Alex to Mark. Mark says he wasn't surprised and Jake opens the bag. The cat jumps out and scratches Jake's face. Jake is angry at being insulted and orders Sparky to kill Mark, but Mark ends up killing Sparky. Jake is devastated at his best friend's death. Mark chases Jake to a dark room in order to kill him, but he is knocked out by Jake. Jake attempts to kill Mark in retaliation for Sparky's murder but Charlie stops Jake as he needs Mark for his plan to work. Charlie requests that Mark be taken to his warehouse instead.

Script
Mark feels through the bag.
Mark: So this is what everyone's been dying for.
He phones Liam.
Mark: Liam... it's Mark. Things are lookin' up. I think I've just hit the fuckin' jackpot. I'm standing here with about 300 grand's worth of Yardie blood money.
Liam: You're gonna need it, mate. I don't think any amount of cash is going to get you out of this one.
Mark: You're probably right, but if we're to stand any chance, I'm gonna need this cash.
Liam: So, wait. Have you got him?
Mark: Not yet, but I think I've finally got it covered. I've got a plant inside Charlie's mansion and she's on the case, mate.
Liam: She must be pretty brave, man, or owe you a shit-load to take that lot on.
Mark: Yeah, I suppose she is. I mean she does, yeah. Look... you get your arse over to Rivington Street. It can't be long till the filth get here. The money will be in the boot and the keys will be on the driver's side rear tyre. I'll boost another one to get out of here.
Liam: What'll you be doin'? Won't Charlie be expecting the cash?
Mark: Look, don't you worry about Charlie or Jake. It's time I did London a favour and took care of those two.
Liam: Look, man, please don't do anything stupid.
Mark: What have I got to lose Liam, eh?
Liam: Only a pile of cash and your kid.
Mark: Look, if anything happens to me, you use the cash to take care of him?
Liam: You don't have to ask me.
Mark: Look, I've got to get out of here. Charlie's expecting me over at King's Cross.
Liam: Well, you do your worst, mate.
They hang up and Mark drives to the depot. At the depot, as he is walking through the parking lot, he notices a cat sitting on top of a dumpster. He shoves the cat into the bag. Jake, Eyebrows and Sparky are waiting for Mark around the corner. They turn the corner and see Mark.
Jake: Oi, Hammond! You're not doing too bad, for a Collins boy. Now, hand over the fuckin' cash.
He aims his gun at Mark.
Mark: Don't insult my intelligence. Where's Charlie? Where's my boy? He didn't say anything about handing the cash over to you. You want the cash, you produce my boy now.
Jake: So much attitude. What do I do to deserve this?
Sparky: I don't know, Jake. It seems like no one appreciates a good guy these days.
Mark: Have we finished with the comedy routine?
Eyebrows: Yeah, we have. Now, hand over the fucking money.
He also aims his gun at Mark. Mark throws the bag to Jake.
Mark: Catch, dickhead. You've got your fucking money. Now, finally, hand over my boy.
Jake: You didn't seriously think Uncle Charlie would play ball, did ya?
Mark: No, I didn't. It would be too much to expect any honour from the Jolsons. Honour amongst thieves, maybe, maggots, never.
Jake: What did he say? What the fuck is stench?
Mark runs into the depot through a side door. Jake opens the bag and the cat jumps out on his face.
Jake: What the... Oh! Oh!
Everyone's guns go off. Mark shoots his way through the depot.
