After two introductory cutscenes, a chase sequence begins. Drive forward until you spot a barricade blocking the middle of the road. Ram through its center, then proceed toward the bridge. Another gang group awaits you there. To break through their blockade, approach it and press the action button. Use the special locations marked on your map to shake off pursuers. Take out three gang vehicles, then head to Little Italy.

If gangsters tail you again, ignore them and keep moving toward the second bridge. Build up speed and make the jump.
