GTA 5: The Time’s Come, ending B walkthrough

Guides

Franklin Clinton faces his toughest decision yet in Grand Theft Auto V: betray his mentor, Michael De Santa, or risk everything by defying powerful forces. In “The Time’s Come,” Ending B, players are thrust into a high-stakes chase through railroads and towering refinery structures, culminating in a heart-wrenching confrontation that seals Michael’s fate. Will you pull him up or let him fall? The choice is yours—but the consequences are permanent.

Ending 2 – The Time’s Come general information

Way to unlock: After you meet Devin Weston (Finale – introduction) you need to select variant B.

Playable characters: Franklin

Additional information: Murdering Michael is a bit more problematic than in the case of Trevor, abut you do not need to expect a difficult mission anyways. There are two chases that you need to play here – the first one on the car and then on foot. Note – It is a good idea to take for this mission a car that drives well in the off-road areas.

Ending B – The Time’s Come full walkthrough

The place where you meet up with Michael

Wait for Franklin to set up a meeting with Michael and to inform Trevor of his plans. You can now drive towards the meeting point, i.e. to the Ron Alternates farm located in the eastern portion of the map, close to the highway. After you get there, watch a short cutscene.

Use time-slowing to your advantage

Get into the car quickly and start your chase after Michael. While chasing him, do not attempt to stop the car driven by him prematurely, because the chase will end at the predetermined moment. Instead, focus on flawless driving and make use of Franklin’s special skill, as often as necessary, to enter sharp turns and avoid obstacles. You should be especially careful while riding along railway tracks, and make sure that you do not slide off the embankment. The chase will end near the oil refinery.

Follow the escaping Michael

Get out of the car and follow Michael, by following the red dot visible on the radar and reaching the stairs to the catwalks. Climb up the stairs to the very top to examine the spot where Franklin has seen Michael for the last time. This will result in the last part of the pursuit where you will have to dodge bullets. You do not need to aim at Michael while responding with fire, and only to make him start firing again and resume his escape.

Regardless of your decision, Michael will die

The place where you need to go is one of the tallest funnels in the refinery. Take the ladder here, which will result in a cutscene being played. Eventually, you will have to decide whether you want to let Michael fall straight away or maybe try to pull him up. Still, in both cases, Michael will fall from height to his death. You may now watch the final cutscene.

  3. Camera placement: Capturing the action effectively requires strategic camera positioning, often with cameras mounted on vehicles or using specialized rigs.

Creative Challenges

  1. Realism vs. spectacle: Balancing realistic driving with cinematic excitement can be difficult.

  2. Pacing and tension: Maintaining audience engagement throughout the sequence requires careful choreography and editing.

  3. Storytelling: Integrating the chase seamlessly into the narrative and using it to reveal character or advance the plot.

Logistical Challenges

  1. Location scouting: Finding suitable roads and obtaining necessary permits for filming.

  2. Traffic control: Managing other vehicles and pedestrians during shoots, especially in urban environments.

  3. Budget constraints: Car chases can be expensive due to vehicle costs, stunts, and potential property damage.

Overcoming these challenges requires meticulous planning, skilled stunt coordination, and innovative filmmaking techniques to create thrilling and memorable car chase sequences.

How do you ensure safety during a high-speed car chase

Ensuring safety during a high-speed car chase involves several critical measures, applicable to both real-world law enforcement scenarios and film productions. Here are some key strategies:

Real-World Law Enforcement

  1. Prioritize Safety: The safety of everyone involved, including officers, suspects, and bystanders, should be the top priority. This means maintaining safe distances and being prepared to terminate the pursuit if it becomes too dangerous.

  2. Training and Protocols: Officers should undergo extensive training in pursuit management and decision-making. This includes understanding when to initiate or terminate a chase based on factors like traffic conditions and the severity of the crime.

  3. Use of Technology: Utilize technologies such as tire deflation systems or helicopter support to safely manage and end pursuits.

  4. Communication: Maintain clear communication with dispatch and other units to coordinate efforts and ensure everyone is aware of the situation.
