Down Payment

"Down Payment" is the third mission in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
Johnny Gat calls Playa and tells him to come to Aisha's house. When Playa arrives, Johnny hands them a beer and surprises Aisha, who was coming downstairs after seeing Johnny use the table as a bottle opener. They decide that they need to reestablish the 3rd Street Saints and take back Stilwater; and the first step towards accomplishing this is to find a hideout. Gat and Playa opt for Aisha's house, but she blankly refuses them, so they leave in search of somewhere else.
Gat points out that part of the city was once destroyed by an earthquake long ago, and that they should be able to set up in an old hotel located beneath an old mission house. He also reminds Playa that the Saints Row Church is no longer an option since Ultor renovated it for tourism.
After they reach the abandoned mission and work their way down, Gat and Playa kill the current residents of the dilapidated hotel - a few Sons of Samedi and some bums - paving the way for the 3rd Street Saints.

==Gameplay==
After reaching one level of Respect, the Cellphone rings and Gat tells Playa to come to Aisha's Place.
;
Drive to the abandoned .
;
;Checkpoint
After entering through the double doors, a short path downward lies ahead, which leads to the future site of the Saints Hideout. Currently, however, the tenants consist of a few bums and Sons of Samedi.
;
:HUD: Samedi Killed X/14
There are fourteen marked Sons of Samedi who must be killed to complete this objective. They are all lightly armed, but may use Molotov Cocktails. The majority of enemies are situated outside the hotel and on different floors, so use the radar on the HUD to locate them all.
;
There are seven marked shanties which must be destroyed. This can be done by grabbing nearby bums as Human Shields and throwing them into the shanties.
The shanties cannot be destroyed with bullets, or by throwing Improvised Weapons, but can be destroyed with Molotovs. They immediately collapse upon any contact with a ragdolled character, such as when a bum or Playa collapses next to a shanty.
;
After all shantys are destroyed, there are 6 marked bums who must die to complete the mission.
;Failure
The mission can be failed by getting Smoked, Busted, killing Gat, or abandoning Gat.

==Trivia==
* When replaying this mission via a Newspaper Clipboard after the Saints Hideout has been upgraded, Johnny Gat still says they should add a stripper pole, despite the fact that there is one right in front of them.
* The mission's newscast and Newspaper Clipboard text contradict each other; the newscast claims that there are fewer bums on the street but the text states that the city is becoming overcrowded with them.
* In the opening cutscene, Aisha expresses her surprise that Playa is talking, referring to the first Saints Row game, in which Playa had only four lines.
* The shanties can be destroyed by throwing anyone in them - this is most obvious when replaying the mission after the Saints Hideout has been upgraded, and then throwing a prostitute or 3rd Street Saints gang member into them.
* The parking meters outside the hotel make for very powerful Improvised Weapons when thrown, as they cause enemies to ragdoll and fly away when hit.
* This mission was originally to have ended with a fight against "Bum-aga", a giant wielding a stop sign.
*At this point in the storyline, the Sons of Samedi have not been introduced, and there is no explanation why the Samedi are in this mission - prior to this mission, they do not control Old Stilwater, and are not present there. Jane's newscast only mentions "hobos", and not Samedi. In the opening cutscene of the next mission, Three Kings, Gat is piling up dead Bums, but no Samedi.
