“Michael! I thought I was with one Judas! I'm surrounded by them! You fake motherfuckers! You wanna piece of me? Fuckin’ come get me! You wanna kill me? Take a fucking shot!”
Something Sensible is one of the three possible final missions and one of the 2 non-canon endings[1] of Grand Theft Auto V. This mission is triggered if Franklin chooses option A (Kill Trevor).
Choosing choice A commences this mission and has Franklin call Trevor to meet him at the oil field off El Burro Heights. On the way there, Franklin calls Michael to inform him of the situation and ask if he can help. Michael is hesitant, saying that it "sounds like [Franklin's] thing", but that he will see what he can do.
Trevor arrives at El Burro Heights after sundown to find Franklin waiting for him. He claims to already know what this is about, saying Franklin is trying to be a "peacekeeper" between him and Michael but that Trevor, still viewing Michael as a traitor, is not interested. However, much to his shock, Franklin pulls a gun on him, telling Trevor that he is the problem, not Michael or Franklin, and he would most likely end up getting all three of them killed. Baffled, Trevor argues that he has done nothing but be truthful to Franklin, who concedes the point but does not let down the gun, remarking that the truth is not what he is interested in.
Furious at having been been betrayed again, Trevor flees in his truck, telling Franklin he is a Judas "just like [Michael]", and drives around the city and eventually into the oil fields, with Franklin in pursuit. Michael calls Franklin to tell him that he is close, then arrives in a stolen Premier and rams into Trevor's truck, which causes Trevor to crash into a gas tanker, rupturing it and covering Trevor in gasoline. Subdued, Trevor crawls out of the truck and denounces Michael and Franklin for betraying him. With nowhere to go and with gasoline spilling from the tanker and pooling around him, he resigns himself to his fate and Franklin then shoots the gasoline, setting Trevor ablaze. If Franklin hesitates, Michael will shoot the gasoline instead. Regardless, Trevor is burnt to death by the flames and the entire tank explodes, destroying his truck.
With Trevor gone, Michael and Franklin leave the fields reflecting over how Trevor's violent and psychotic behavior led to his demise and how there were no limits to his insanity. Franklin sarcastically thanks Michael for the "education," which Michael counters by telling him to survive and that everything else is "bullshit". The two head their separate ways as the credits roll in with a view of the city.
Shit, what's crackin' homie. We need to talk. But somewhere quiet. Alright?
Trevor (Voice only):
Yeah, sure, man. Whatever you need. How about one of those empty lots of El Burro on the east side of town?
Franklin:
Yeah, alright, homie. Look, I'll meet you there. Alright?
Franklin hangs up, and after a while he phones Michael.
Michael (Voice only):
Franklin. What's up, big homie?
Franklin:
Mike, man. I need to have a conversation with Trevor. You know, yeah, that conversation.
Michael (Voice only):
Oh, shit. Alright. Okay.
Franklin:
Look, man, the FIB dudes want him gone, and Devin Weston wants y'all gone, you know how it is, dog, shit, somebody got to go.
Michael (Voice only):
Well, it ain't fucking me.
Franklin:
Exactly, man. Look, we're meeting at El Burro Heights. So, you think you can help me?
Michael (Voice only):
(sighs) I dunno. That sounds like it's your thing, Frank. I'll see what I can do.
Franklin hangs up, and arrives at the meeting place, and so does Trevor in his Bodhi. Franklin is holding a pistol behind his back.
Trevor:
Hey, man. How you doin'?
Franklin:
Shit, I'm good T. And yourself?
Trevor:
Peachy. I know what this is about...
Franklin:
You do?
Trevor:
Course! It's Michael! You're the peacemaker! Well, I ain't havin' it, alright? I ain't havin' it. M-M-Maybe when the heat dies down, but this, nah, I ain't havin'. I mean that's it, right? Huh? Wasn't it? Wasn't it?
Franklin:
But Michael ain't the problem.
Franklin shows the pistol behind his back and aims it at Trevor.
Franklin:
T, I like you. You scare the shit out of me sometimes. You creep me the fuck out. But... but the way I see it, the way anyone normal will see it, not that any of this shit is normal. Man, you gonna get us all fuckin' killed.
Trevor:
You're gonna whack me? Huh? Me? I ain't been nothin' but straight and true with you.
Franklin:
I'm sorry, man. Yeah, you have been true with me. But the truth ain't what I'm interested in.
Upset, Trevor gets back into his truck and starts driving away.
Trevor:
You fucking Judas! You're just like him!
Franklin gets in his vehicle and starts chasing Trevor.
Franklin:
*Shit. *Man, come on. *Hey Trevor! *Oh so you goin' run from me? *Where you going, homie? *Pull over, let's talk. *Eh, let's do this in a quiet place homie! *Trevor, dog!
Michael calls Franklin.
Franklin:
Yo, where are you man? I'm chasing T through the oil fields.
Michael (Voice only):
Shit. Okay. I'm not far away. Try and stop him.
Trevor crashes into Michael's car and then an oil tanker which starts leaking. He then leaves his car and falls into the oil puddle.
Trevor:
Michael! Ah, fuck! I thought I was with the one Judas! I'm surrounded by them! You fake motherfuckers! You wanna piece of me? Fuckin' come get me! You wanna kill me? Take a fucking shot!
Some lines appear as Franklin doesn't shoot Trevor.
Michael:
*Do it, for Christ's sake. *Do it. *Pull the fucking trigger. *Do it, Franklin! *Finish the fucking job, Franklin.
Trevor:
*Come on! *People don't change! *Come on, you dicks! *Fuckers! *You didn't do the job ten years ago! *Oh, so you're doing it now! *Traitorous prick! *I know it! *You'll turn on each other! *Fuck you both! *Arghhh.
If Franklin doesn't shoot Trevor.
Michael:
Fuck, kid.
Franklin or Michael shoot Trevor or the gasoline and sets him, his car and the oil on fire, with Trevor screaming in agony and eventually dies. The oil tanker then explodes.
Michael:
You always liked gasoline, Trevor!
Franklin:
Man, that was your best fucking friend.
Michael:
Fuck you. You know what tough guy? It's... it's time you grow the fuck up. I mean, I admit I'm a bad piece of work. But that guy? That piece of shit! No boundaries. No sense of when to back off. No nothin'! Twenty-four seven insanity! Day in! Day out! All the time! Never regretted nothin'. Cared for nothin'. Well fuck him. I mean... there's gotta be a limit, kid. Y'know? A point where even assholes like us say enough is e-fucking-nough. Human stew... That's my limit. I know that now.
Franklin:
I guess that's that then.
Michael:
It is what it is.
Franklin:
Hey! It's certainly been an education!
Michael:
Surviving is winning, Franklin! Everything else is bullshit! Fairytales spun by people afraid to look life in the eye! Whatever it takes, kid! Survive!
Franklin:
Damn straight.
Don't Come Close is playing and credits roll.
Aftermath[]
Since Trevor is mentioned to be alive by Ron Jakowski in GTA Online's Smuggler's Run DLC (which takes place in 2017, four years after the events of GTA V), it is confirmed that this ending is non-canon.
The player can no longer play as Trevor after the completion of this mission and any Trevor-specific activities are no longer available including thoserelated to McKenzie Field Hangar. This includes Trevor's properties, his trailer and one vehicle storage that can only be purchased by him. The Vanilla Unicorn remains available as a strip club, but it is no longer usable as a safehouse. Trevor's Bodhi will be permanently destroyed, unless the player has stored it after stealing it from Trevor.
Michael and Franklin can still hang out with each other, but if the player tries to make Franklin and Michael meet before Michael's e-mail, they will talk and he will admit that he is affected and blames Franklin for it, saying he needs more time, so the option to hang out with Michael or Franklin becomes unavailable.
However, if the player does not make the protagonists meet on the street before Michael's e-mail, they can still hang out together, but they will always be out of breath, saying things like "I think I can go out with you one more time."
Jimmy will no longer hang out with Michael due to Michael's involvement in Trevor's death, but can still hang out with Franklin due to being unaware that Franklin was involved in Trevor's death.
Franklin can only hang out with Lamar at night due to the latter having to lay low to avoid Stretch.
Michael and Franklin will receive their shares from the Union Depository heist along with half of Trevor's share.

After being told that Devin Weston wanted Franklin to kill Michael, he declares that Franklin should have killed both Michael and Trevor.

Finally, he rebuffs Franklin's suggestion that he continue looking out for him, telling Franklin that his "chips are cashed" and to not contact him again.
Solomon Richards - Michael can call Solomon, who asks if everything is okay. Michael says yeah and asks when they are making their next movie.

Post-Mission Phone Calls[]
Phone Call 1[]
Michael: Hello.
Jimmy: Uncle T, Dad - I just heard he's, he's...
Michael: He's not going to bother us anymore, we're safe.
Jimmy: Uncle T! He was a good guy!
Michael: No, he WASN'T, he was dangerous!

Michael: Uncle T wanted to kill all of us, Jim, he wasn't well.
Jimmy: Uncle T - man, fuck!
Phone Call 2[]
Franklin: Hey!
Jimmy: Trevor - apparently he's, he's dead.
Franklin: Yeah, I errr... I heard.

Steve: Then you should've clapped both of them.
Franklin: Man, isn't there something you and Dave can do? Cause he might be pissed, man.
Steve: Dave can't do anything - Dave's lucky I let him do my paperwork, he's this close to discharge with no pension.
Franklin: Well shit, is there something you can do?
Steve: Sure! I can talk to Devin - he's licking his wounds after Merryweather lost their licence to operate in the state. He might need a friend.

Oversights[]
In the enhanced version of the game, if Michael shoots Trevor, an offscreen explosion, presumably from the stolen Premier Michael used, will kill Michael after the tanker blows up, causing the mission to fail. The glitch can be seen here.
Trivia[]
The mission name is a reference to Steve Haines' quote from Lamar Down. After Franklin lists a few crazy crimes that he assumes Steve Haines will order him to do, Steve says that he wants Franklin to do "something more sensible", and proceeds to tell Franklin to kill Trevor.
Even if the player shoots Trevor in the head while covered in gasoline, he still screams while on fire, due to the script of the mission.
The song that plays just before the ending credits at the end of this mission is "Don't Come Close" by Yeasayer. This song can also be heard on Radio Mirror Park.
Just like ending B, if Franklin calls Lester directly after Trevor and before proceeding to call Michael, the ending will change to the Deathwish ending/ending C instead of killing Trevor, cancelling the action to call Michael.
This ending was foreshadowed in Casing the Jewel Store when Michael asked Lester if Trevor ended up as a burnt body on the side of the road.
The line Franklin says to Trevor "Yeah, you have been true with me. But the truth ain't what I'm interested in" is similar to a line Michael can say during the mission Dead Man Walking, "Trust me, I'm not interested in the truth!"
The truck owned by Trevor cannot be overtaken or else it will dramatically speed up.
Both Trevor and his truck cannot be damaged during the car chase. However, shooting Trevor will cause visible bullet holes on his torso and arms. They will stay on his body until he is killed.
Throughout the game, Trevor foreshadows his own death in the following ways:
In a character switch scene, where he wakes up drunk, he says "You just gonna stand there while I burn to a crisp?"
Trevor may sometimes say, "Why hasn't someone sensible shot you yet?" when insulting or shooting pedestrians, referencing the name of this mission. However, he will continue to say this line occasionally if The Time's Come or The Third Way was chosen as the finale.
During the GTA Online mission Series A - Steal Meth, the GTA Online Protagonists steal a Tanker full of meth juice, after which Trevor warns them that it shouldn't be shot at too much due to its flammability, before sarcastically remarking, "But, hey, it's your flaming carcass, not mine."
Trevor will always wear his default outfit (white T-shirt, jeans) during this mission.
Michael will also be made to wear his default outfit (gray suit) in this mission.
Franklin's outfit will not change in the original version of the game. However, in the enhanced and expanded & enhanced versions of the game, his outfit will be changed to his default one (white tanktop with white pants) during the time he waits for Trevor to show up at the oil field.
If the player has changed Trevor's hairstyle before this mission, he will revert back to his default hairstyle.
Franklin and Michael will retain any hairstyle changes.
During the chase sequence, failing the mission three times and choosing to skip the current section will cause Franklin and Michael to revert to their default hairstyles, and will cause Franklin to wear a white tank top and cargo shorts, regardless of what he was wearing before the skip.
Even though skipping the chase sequence causes Franklin's hairstyle and clothing to change, he will retain any glasses or earrings he was wearing before the skip.
After this mission is completed, some Bleeter posts will mention Steve Haines' death and Merryweather Security closing its operation in the USA. Both of these events refer to The Third Way ending, and is probably an oversight of the game.
When the credits start rolling, just before the screen fades to black, the player can control Franklin for a few seconds.
If the player changed the color and wheels on the Premier that Michael drives after Jimmy steals his Tailgater, then the one he uses in this mission will have those same modifications, indicating that it is the same car. However, any other mods will not be present.
However, if the Premier was not modified, he will use an unmodified Premier that will spawn with a random color.
