Stretch: "You ain't got no motherfucking respect."Franklin: "Motherfucker, I got respect for reality."―Stretch arguing with Franklin.
The Long Stretch is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V , given to protagonist Franklin Clinton by Lamar Davis .
Mission:
Franklin meets Lamar at his house , who reintroduces Stretch , who seems to have just been released from prison . Franklin doesn't seem too happy about his comeback, which starts an argument with each other, but Lamar reminds them of business.
Franklin, Lamar, and Stretch head over to Ammu-Nation and purchase a Pump Shotgun with a flashlight accessory, in case the deal goes wrong (If Franklin cannot afford it, then Lamar will loan him $1500). They then drive to a warehouse , where they meet up with D , whom Franklin and Lamar kidnapped earlier with some help from Chop .
What at first appears as a deal turns out to be an ambush by the Ballas ; D betrays them and Stretch shoots him in the head twice, killing him instantly. Franklin, Lamar, and Stretch then fight their way out, killing many groups of Ballas members and starting a fire inside. Then they realize that the police are just outside and have a police helicopter hovering over them. Franklin takes out the helicopter, then the trio makes their way to a nearby road , where they steal a vehicle to get away from the police.
The trio then drives back to Franklin's house after losing the cops.

- Los Santos Shepherd Newspaper:
"Something went very wrong as a drug deal at a recycling plant in La Puerta descended in to a violent shootout, leaving several gang members dead and police confused as to what has caused these recent upsurge in extreme gang crime. The dead mostly seemed to be affiliated with the notorious Ballas gang. If this was an internecine struggle between different "sets" within the gang, or part of the Ballas eternal struggle with The Families , or a falling out with another of the city's many street gangs, is at this point unclear. The LSPD called for additional funding to look into the program and potentially restart some of their long since discredited anti-gang programs. Vinewood has applied for the movie rights to yesterday's events."

- Weazel News (Radio):
"A drug deal goes very wrong. Something went very wrong as a drug deal at a recycling plant in La Puerta turned into a violent shootout, leaving several gang members dead, and police confused as to what has caused this recent upsurge in extreme gang crime. The police have called for calm, and responded by flying a lot of helicopters over poor neighborhoods all night long in a show of community spirit."
Trivia:
- Various audio entries for this mission refer to the mission as Terminador.[1]
- Scenes from this mission first appeared in the second GTA V trailer , and later in Franklin's character trailer.
- If the player destroys the second police helicopter, the game may glitch and get rid of the wanted level, which is useful for the timing objective.[citation/verification needed]
- Upon entering Ammu-Nation , Lamar will tell Franklin to "Get the shotty with the flashlight on it.". If Franklin already has a shotgun, Lamar will instead say "Get your shotty with the flashlight modification." If Franklin has a shotgun and has installed the flashlight prior to the mission, Lamar will simply say "Get some heat.".
- Franklin will always put on a jacket with jeans and shoes in this mission.
- In the remastered edition, Lamar and Stretch can be seen driving away after the mission ends. If the player shoots the car, Stretch will step out and open fire at him. However, the player cannot shoot Stretch.
- After losing the cops, the radio station will be tuned in to West Coast Classics , and the track "Still D.R.E. " by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will always play.
- If the player takes Lamar's Emperor as a getaway car and abandons the Jackal, the Jackal will still appear near Franklin's house at the end of the mission, and Stretch and Lamar will drive away in this car. However, the Emperor will be still parked in the driveway, and can be stored in the player's garage.
- If players do this mission after Franklin gets his second house , he will still enter his old house as if he still lives there. Strangely, sometimes in the opening cutscene, his room will still have his belongings, but as soon as the scene ends, it will be empty. Thus, canonically , this mission happens before Franklin obtains his second house.
- After this mission, the Ammu-Nation clerk will become interested in Franklin, which starts a conversation between both of them if Franklin visits the store.
- When Stretch shoots D, his pistol has a more realistic firing sound.
- In Franklin's trailer, Lamar originally wore his green cap backwards, and his T-shirt had the logo of the San Andreas Magnetics on it.
- According to Shawn Fonteno , an earlier version of this mission had Franklin shooting D instead of Stretch.[2]
