Mike realizes the cops have him surrounded and wishes to have a tank to get through them and reach the airport, where Cisco, the deceased leader of the Colombian Cartel, has left a plane for him to leave Liberty City.
When the cutscene ends, a tank appears (there's a chance that it could be a Diablo) and Mike gets on it. The player is tasked to get to Francis International Airport in time with a six-star wanted level. The game gives instructions on how to fire the cannons of the tank and destroy the cop cars which block the road. When the player arrives at the airport, a cutscene starts after reaching the marker.
Mike leaves Liberty City, and remembers his friends, the bar-tender Jonnie, and Cisco, both killed, and 8-Ball, who was arrested. Then a plane is shown leaving Liberty City (for Colombia, as Mike says).
Reward[]
The reward for this mission is $40,000 and completing the main story.
Think! Think of something quick, the cops are closing in... I can't make it out of the city by the highways, the cops will have roadblocks up. There's only one shot I have and that's make it to the airport and take Cisco's plane. Damn, I wish I had a tank to get through the resistance I've got coming for me.
Hell yeah! There's no stopping me now! Liberty City... Goodbye and good riddance. I've learned hard lessons and rubbed shoulders with the worst elements - King Courtney, Vinnie, and even Asuka. I'm going to miss Jonnie the bartender and Cisco. I can't help but think I could have done more for 8-Ball. Cisco, this drink is for you, perhaps I will settle down in your beloved Columbia. To the rest, to hell with you and here's to never looking back...

Trivia[]
The mission name might be a play on the term "Freedom fries", a politically motivated move in which the United States tried to rename the French fries into the Freedom fries during the ongoing War on Terror.
This and Decoy in Grand Theft Auto III are the only two missions in the 3D era that give the protagonist a six-star wanted level; it is also the last mission until Prologue in Grand Theft Auto V in which the maximum wanted level is automatically attained.
The plane that Mike leaves Liberty City with resembles a Shamal.
Upon completing the mission, the player has two options: to save or to quit. Quitting is obvious as Mike has "left" Liberty City, but the save file can be reloaded after the mission and free roam gameplay can be resumed.
