Aiding and Abetting is the fourth mission in The Getaway. It is given to protagonist Mark Hammond by Charlie Jolson.
Mission
Mark arrives at the Spotted Dog pub in Whitehall, where Charlie is sitting with Harry, Grievous and Walter. Mark tells Charlie that if he wants his statue back, he gives Alex back in return. This annoys Harry who thinks that Mark is being ungrateful. Mark aims his gun at Charlie, but is hit over the head with a bottle by the bartender. Harry runs over and kicks Mark several times. Grievous and Walter restrain Harry as Charlie needs Mark. Charlie tells Mark he is not happy with his attitude so he is sending Eyebrows with him on a mission to break Jake out of a prison van. Mark remembers Jake from the old days when they were enemies, but Charlie does not want Mark to disappoint him. As Mark is lying on the ground, he receives a phone call from Liam, who is concerned after what Mark was done at the Reptilian Gallery. He also tells Mark that he has seen no sign of Alex at the warehouse. Mark then has to get into a car with Eyebrows. Eyebrows is enjoying himself but Mark is not. They drive to the Old Bailey and Mark rams the prison van off the road. Eyebrows shoots the police officers. Jake climbs out and greets Eyebrows but is not happy to see Mark. Eyebrows tells Jake that Mark is Charlie's errand boy. Eyebrows helps to fake Jake's death by putting a dummy of himself next to the van. Jake takes the grenade launcher and blows the van up. As Frank Carter drives to the scene, Jake shoots at Frank's car causing him to overturn. Mark drives Eyebrows and Jake back to the warehouse, while Jake makes snide comments to Mark throughout the journey.

Script
Mark enters the Spotted Dog with the terra cotta soldier garden ornament. Charlie is sitting at a table with Harry, Grievous and Walter.
Charlie: Very good, my son. You've done very, very well. I see you've brought a little something for me. How thoughtful. He's doing well, isn't he, lads?
Mark: Charlie... I'm tired of this. You want this statue... ...you give me my son.
Charlie: Is that what you call gratitude? I take your boy in like he's one of my own. Good ol' Uncle Charlie. Can you believe that, Harry?
Mark: I'm not playing your games any more, Charlie. I'm fuckin' sick of it!
Harry: He's out of order. He should learn some manners. He didn't seem to learn last time. Maybe we should give him another lesson.
Charlie: I think we might have to, Harry.
Mark: Don't push me, Charlie.
He aims his gun at Charlie. Harry jumps out of his chair and aims his gun at Mark.
Harry: Steady.
Charlie: Don't be silly, boy. Think what could happen to your little Alex. You're in no position to be playing around.
Mark: I ain't messin' around, Charlie!
The barkeep hits Mark over the head with a bottle and he falls to the floor. Harry goes over to him and starts kicking him in the stomach.
Harry: I'll fuckin' do you badly, Hammond!
Grievous and Walter try to pull Harry away from Mark.
Grievous: That's enough, Harry! Harry! Harry! He's still useful.
Harry: Fucking get up!
Charlie stands over Mark. Harry tries to get to Mark again.
Harry: Get off! Get off me!
Charlie: Can you hear me, boy? This ain't a two-way contract. You don't get out until I fucking say you're out, right? I can't trust you now, Markie-boy. You've spurned the hand of friendship. So, I'm sending Eyebrows with you on a little mission to the courthouse. You see, they've got our lad, Jake. You remember Jake? You've had a few run-ins with him in the past. However, he's gonna be pleased to see you, cos you're going to break him out. Now, it'll be crawling with filth. They'll be all over the place. Some of the boys'll take care of the escort. You just get the fuckin' van and ram it off the road. Eyebrows'll take care of the rest. Are you getting this? Don't you disappoint me, Hammond. Let's hope Harry here's knocked some fucking sense into you.
They start to leave and as they do, Harry kicks Mark a few more times.
Harry: Fucking manners!
Mark gets a phone call from Liam.
Mark: Yeah.
Liam: Mark, it's Liam. What the fuck have you been up to, man? The whole of Chinatown's gone mad. You're a bloody mobile disaster.
Mark: It's not by choice, mate. That bastard Jolson has got me right where he wants me.
Liam: Look, I can't find your boy anywhere. He's still gotta be at Charlie's warehouse, mate. I don't know about going there. I doubt if I'd get anywhere near the place.
Mark: I'm climbin' the walls, mate, worrying about him. If I don't do this shit, he's dead... ...and if we don't find him... it just don't bear thinking about.
Liam: Look, I'll keep askin' around, man, but look, this is getting out of control.
Mark: I'll make this up to you, Liam. You're a diamond, mate.
Liam: Listen, man, how about laying low until we can sort this out.
Mark: I'd love to, mate. I really would. That bastard Jolson has got me right where he wants me, running around all over town. Look, just ring me if you hear anything, OK?
Liam: All right, man.
Liam hangs up. Mark leaves the pub. He drives to the police van and starts ramming it until it's nearly destroyed. The drivers call for backup.
Driver: Back-up! Get some back-up. Get some back-up. We're all over the place.
Eyebrows shoots the van and it is overturned and slides along the pavement and lies on its side. Eyebrows gets out of the car and shoots the officers as they try to crawl away.
Eyebrows: This is too easy.
He shoots some more officers.
Mark: Oi, just get Jake and let's get out of here, eh?
Jake crawls out of the van.
Jake: All right, Brow?
Eyebrows: Jake!
Jake stands up and walks over to Eyebrows.
Jake: Eyebrows, you look like you're havin' a right laugh, mate.
Eyebrows: Jake, good to see ya mate. I'm having a right laugh. I'm killin' myself.
Jake sees Mark in the car.
Jake: What the fuck is that prick doin' here?
Eyebrows: He's Charlie's little errand boy. Does whatever the guv tells him, don't you, son?
Mark: Do you think we can get the hell out of here before every copper in London turns up, or what?
Jake: He never did have much sense of humour. All them Collins lot are miserable wankers.
Eyebrows opens the boot of the car and lifts a dummy of Jake out.
Jake: Here, what you doin', Brow?
Eyebrows: Just tidying up a few details.
He drags the dummy over to the police van and sets it down, making it look like Jake is dead.
Eyebrows: It's too bad you never made it, Jake.
Jake: Yeah, it's a bloody tragedy, mate.
Eyebrows: Well, at least we'll have a few drinks at your funeral.
Eyebrows takes a grenade launcher out of the car.
Jake: Yeah, well here, give that here. If I'm gonna go, I may as well top myself.
He takes the grenade launcher and shoots at the police van causing it to explode.
Jake: Yes!
He jumps up and down.
Mark: Can we get the hell out of here, then?
Jake: What's your fucking hurry, Hammond? Got any more grenades, Brow?
Eyebrows: No, we got that off some Russian geezer. The pineapples are hard to come by. I tell you what, have a go on this. I've got a few rounds left in the clip.
Jake: That'll have to do, I suppose.
At that moment, Frank Carter speeds around the corner and drives towards Jake. Jake starts firing at Frank's car.
Mark: Oi, psycho, every cop in London'll be here in a minute! Can we do this later?
Eyebrows: All right, all right, he's almost done.
Mark: Just get in the fuckin' car, will ya?
Jake: C'mon you fuckin' bastards! Have some of this!
Jake continues firing at the car and it swerves off the road and slides on to its side. Jake lies down in the back of Mark's car and they drive off.
Eyebrows: Keep your head down, Jake. You're meant to be dead.
Frank sees Mark in the car as they drive off. They drive back to Charlie's warehouse.
