"**Laundry Day**" is the second mission of the The Ronin story arc in *Saints Row 2*.

*Money laundering scheme uncovered*— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

## Overview

At Aisha's house, Playa, Pierce, and Johnny Gat decide that, after the heist they pulled at The Ronin-controlled Poseidon's Palace, they should clean the money.

Playa successfully launders the money through a fence. On the phone to his father, Shogo Akuji learns that he is coming to America due to the shame Shogo has brought upon his family. Shogo orders Jyunichi to attack the 3rd Street Saints, believing The Ronin must defeat them before his father arrives.

### Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

The Third Street Saints and the Ronin cut a swath of destruction downtown today. Preliminary investigations suggest that the Ronin caught the Saints in the midst of trying to launder money recently stolen from Poseidon's Palace. Chief Troy Bradshaw had no comment on the situation brewing between the Ronin and Saints.
## Gameplay

Head to the **used car salesman** and buy an expensive **car**
Head to Elysian Fields trailer park and purchase the Eiswolf.

Take the **car** you bought
Get into the Eiswolf

Head to the **arms dealer** and buy an expensive **gun**
Head to the arms dealer to buy an AR-50 w/Grenade Launcher.

Go to the **fence** and re-sell the merchandise
Head towards the fence in order to sell the stuff back.

Protect the **fence**
The fence needs to travel to her stash in southern Stilwater and must be defended with the AR-50 w/Grenade Launcher as she drives the Eiswolf. The weapon can fire both rifle ammunition and grenades, and has unlimited ammo for both.

Generally, The Ronin put up a light defense in the north of Stilwater, but shortly after crossing the bridge and going past a dip, they step up their assault, and may badly damage the Eiswolf by the end of the mission.

## Rewards

## Trivia

* During the "leaked security footage" in the opening cutscene, "15 Minutes", Playa is wearing the clothing and customization they are in in the mission, rather than what they wore during "Saint's Seven".
	+ Furthermore, Pierce is depicted as fighting, and stealing cash, alongside Playa and Johnny Gat, despite him not taking part in the actual heist.
* The game data files define additional parts to this mission; originally, there was also a second arms dealer, a female who drove a Bulldog and sold Grenades; as well as a clothing dealer who sells a "parachute suit" which Playa would wear until selling it to the fence.
* The Eiswolf is immovable before purchasing it - this is because it is defined as having an "infinite" mass by the game files.
* In the opening cutscene, Jane says "the Saints are back after a long haitus". This means Jane hasn't heard of any of the other activity the Saints have caused, such as if completing any Sons of Samedi and/or Brotherhood missions first.
* In the "15 minutes" cutscene, while Jane Valderama is interviewing Troy, two cops in the background prop up the body of a dead cop while another cop takes a picture of it.
