The San Esperito Connection is the fourth storyline mission in Just Cause (1).

Introduction

Mission information from the PDA: "International drug dealer Franco Alifano is coming to San Esperito to meet with Inmaculada Palmiera of the Riojas cartel. Inmaculada has never seen Franco, and therefore you can take his place to gain the trust of the Riojas cartel. To do this, you must seek out and kill Franco before he reaches the hotel where the meeting is scheduled."

Walkthrough

Rico gets the Protec Grappler G3 at the beginning of this mission. Maria Kane gives it to him, saying that: "You know, they keep sending me new equipment for you. Don't know why. You'll just break it. Check it out anyway."

Use any vehicle to get to the airport. No need to hurry, the target won't spawn until you get there. As soon as the target spawns, turn right and get to that road that's parallel to your road, to cut them off.

Stand on the side of the road and wait until the convoy of 2 Mounted Gun-armed MVs and the Fusilier Commander get to you. Then use the Protec Grappler G3 to Hijack the Fusilier.

Do not try to drive faster than the MVs. They will just destroy your car and kill you. Instead, try outmaneuvering them to get out of their line of fire and then get out of your car and kill them.

Be sure to kill Franco Alifano, or he will contact the Riojas before you will reach the destination. Drive to the target posing as him.

Alternate ways to stop the convoy

• Get into a Huerta SPA Ocelot (marked by a black dot on the map) on the airfield and catch up with his Fusilier. Then ram the car with your plane, jumping out just in time. Franco Alifano will jump out of his car. Kill him and then hijack an MV and follow the instruction given.
  • If you don't use the Ocelot for this purpose, it can be used instead for transport to reach Inmaculada.
• Obtain an armed helicopter before the mission and kill Franco Alifano with its mounted weapons. Idealistically, use a Guerrilla Delta 5H4 Boxhead since several will be flying around Provincia Aguilar at all times.
• You could always time it and ram the limousine in the side, just like in the movies. That will slow it down, damage it, and possibly even stop it.

Trivia

• This marks the first appearance of Inmaculada. While her name is mentioned also in the PDA's mission description, most tend to skip over and only learn later than that.
• Inmaculada tells Rico that she likes very big bills. This could mean:
  • The money Rico brought to her.
  • Commenting on Rico's valor. "To have big balls" is U.S. slang for bravery.
• This is one of two storyline missions where the Fusilier Commander is featured.
• This is the only mission where:
  • Armed unmarked MVs are used. See the MV article for more details. In fact, this mission is the only time where you can find an unmarked MV with the Mounted Gun facing backward.
  • You have to kill a Rioja Cartel member (and an American on that note).
  • There is a black dot on the map during this mission that is the Huerta SPA Ocelot. This is the only time this plane is provided as a black dot during a mission.
• This is one of the few missions where:
  • The San Esperito Military is not featured as an enemy.
  • A Mounted Gun is facing the back on an MV.
