Hail to the Chief

"Hail to the Chief" is the penultimate mission in Saints Row.
==Overview==
While Johnny Gat, Dex, and Playa discuss Julius' fate over at the church, they receive a phone call from Chief Monroe, who has decided to renege on letting Julius go until the 3rd Street Saints do more "community service" for him. Dex quickly formulates a plan and decides to assassinate Monroe at Marshall Winslow's funeral, which he is sure to attend, thereby sending a message to "whoever he's working with" that they're not going to be used.
Dex gives Playa a McManus sniper rifle to snipe Monroe, but the plan goes slightly awry when there is more than one Five-O in the funeral procession and they cannot tell which one Monroe is in. Gat decides to blow up all of the police vehicles with the RPG Launcher, and Dex and Playa follow suit, knowing that Monroe must be in one of them. While Gat stays behind on the rooftop to continue killing oncoming policemen and the FBI, Playa and Dex flee to a nearby Forgive and Forget, having succeeded in their plan to kill Monroe.

==Gameplay==
;
Although this is only the penultimate mission, it is the final mission of Saints Row that has any gameplay, so players should stock up on food, weapons/ammo, and anything else they feel they might need before starting.
;
After arriving outside what will one day be the Rounds Square Shopping Center, Dex gives the player a McManus with six rounds. When the funeral procession comes nearby, Johnny fires an RPG at it; follow his lead and do the same, destroying all marked vehicles along with an Oppressor.
;
Now begins the final part of the mission, and it can be very tough: players must reach a Forgive and Forget with full police Notoriety. The one downtown is marked on the HUD, but players may want to drive to the one in the Suburbs District to the southwest as it's a slightly easier drive.
Regardless, what makes this so difficult is the relentlessness and aggressiveness of the FBI vehicles - they constantly ram into Playa's vehicle, causing them to spin wildly out of control or off the road, and their speed can match the fastest of cars. Players may have to swap cars during the drive as the FBI can inflict massive damage on a vehicle fairly quickly, so if this happens, stop the vehicle before exiting, and before it bursts into flames. Diving out of a moving vehicle or exiting near a SWAT Peacekeeper leaves Playa very exposed to being busted, which can be a serious problem for the unprepared. When in a new vehicle, don't forget to pick up Dex, but be careful not to get busted while sitting motionless in the vehicle.
Alternatively, one can hijack a Peterliner off the freeway on the way over and park it nearby for use as a getaway vehicle: its size and durability should let the player plow through the FBI with relative ease.
A keen awareness of one's surroundings is imperative, and the player needs some good amount of luck, but should the likely vehicle transition go smoothly, getting to a Forgive and Forget shouldn't be too much of a problem. The mission ends when the player drives through the confessional, and they are rewarded $5,000 cash.
The player can fail the mission by getting Smoked, getting Busted, or abandoning/killing Dex.
