A Touch of Class is the eighth mission in The Getaway. It is given to protagonist Mark Hammond by Charlie Jolson.

Mission

After escaping from Snow Hill Police Station alive, Mark parks at Charlie's depot and phones Harry. He tells Harry that McCormack is dead as well as Yasmin, although this is a lie. Charlie feels that since he has lost one bird, Mark can get him another. It turns out that Layla, one of Charlie's girls has been hired by Nick Collins as a stripper for his club Touch of Class. Charlie wants Mark to find Layla and ask her to come back to Charlie. Mark takes Yasmin with him, who remembers Layla from her days as a prostitue. Yasmin believes that if they collect Layla, it would give them a door to Charlie's house. Mark and Yasmin drive to Soho and enter Touch of Class. A shootout breaks out between the Collins Gang and Mark and Yasmin, since Mark is a marked man in Soho.

Script

Mark and Yasmin are sitting in a car outside Charlie's depot in King's Cross. He phones Harry.

Mark: McCormack's dead.

Harry: Well-fuckin'-done, Hammond... ...and Yasmin?

Mark looks at Yasmin.

Mark: Yeah, her, too.

Harry: Shame. Not a bad piece of crumpet, but you know women, mate, too much hassle.

He tells Charlie the news.

Harry: He's only gone and done it! McCormack and the bird.

Charlie: Seems we underestimated him. Well, seeing as I've lost one girl today, he can just get me another. I hear Layla's down at The Toucher, Collins' new bar in Soho. Tell Markie I'd kinda prefer if she was here with me.

Harry: Right, Hammond, head on down to the Touch of Class. Your man Collins seems to have hired some dancing slut, goes by the name of Layla. She's one of Charlie's birds and he'd like you to politely ask her to come back. Bring her to Charlie's gaff in Mayfair. You heard me. Get her and bring her here.

Mark: When's this gonna end, Harry? This is getting past the point of ridiculous. I'll never get in and out of there in one piece. I'd be better off blowin' the whistle and taking my chances. Maybe Jamahl and his Yardie-boys would like to know what's going on.

Harry: It ends when Charlie bloody says so, all right? I'm looking at your boy right now. Just move it.

He hangs up.

Mark: You fancy going clubbing?

Yasmin: What the fuck are you talking about?

Mark: Charlie... sending me on another suicide mission. Down to Soho, my old turf. He wants me to grab some dancing slut named Layla... and take her back to his house in Mayfair.

Yasmin: Mark. That's perfect!

Mark: Perfect... Perfect. It's a fucking human sacrifice, that's what it is.

Yasmin: No, let's get her. It gives us a door into Charlie's place. That place is like a bloody prison. I'm sure that's where he's holding your boy. If I can get inside, I can get to him.

Mark: You sure?

Yasmin: Yeah. And I'll settle the score with Charlie Jolson whilst I'm at it.

Mark: I'm not worried about scores, Yasmin. I'll worry about scores when my boy's safe, all right?

Mark drives to the Touch of Class and shoots his way inside.
