Third encounter
Brian meets Niko a third and final time, and relates his story -- his situation deteriorated after their last meeting (he had spent some time as a crack whore), but he is now on a nine-step recovery program for his habit, and is engaged to be married. He tells Niko he is now at step nine of his program, in which he must speak to some of the people he harmed and ask them to forgive and forget -- he apologizes for his rudeness when he first met Niko, and explains that he wants to pay back some of the former dealers he owes money to. Niko forgives him and agrees to drive Brian to their location; the dealers, however, are none too happy with Brian, and attack him -- Niko can kill them to save Brian or simply point a gun at them to scare them off, and then he'll drive Brian home


Dialogue
Brian: Hey, man. Remember me!
Niko: Sure - the crack smoking American dream.
Brian: I'm clean, man... what a ride.
Niko: Yeah. You look good.
Brian: I feel good.
Niko: Good.
Brian: I sank as far as a man can sink... when you're giving blowjobs at ten bucks a pop, so you can score your next rock. And I have an Ivy League education... Jesus. What a disgrace. But I'm over that now. I'm engaged!
Niko: Hey. Congratulations.
Brian: Hey, I owe you, man! I mean, I was a dick. But I'm making up for it. I was a loud mouthed dick and I apologize.
Niko: Hey, apology accepted. Don't worry about it.
Brian: Listen... I gotta go pay off one of my dealers. Make things right. Would you come with me? I hate to ask, but I'm afraid the temptation might get to me. Please?
Niko: Sure.
Brian: Awesome.
(Niko and Brian enter a vehicle)
Brian: They're over on Onion, just off Asparagus Avenue. I asked my sponsor to come along but he says this is something I got to do without him. Thanks for helping me, dude.
Niko: Do not mention it.
Brian: This is step number nine in the program. I'm making amends to all those I harmed. Expensive process.
Niko: Could be.
Brian: That said, it's a lot harder to ask people to write off the emotional debts than the financial ones... my problem hurt a lot of people.
(Niko drives Brian to his dealers)
Brian: That's them. Do you mind waiting here?
Dealer: You pretty dumb for a banker. You forgot about interest, bitch.
Brian: Trust the higher power... trust the HP.
(The dealers attack Brian and Niko intervenes)
Dealer: You here to make friends too?
Niko: I've got enough friends.
(Niko fends off the dealers)
Brian: Thanks, dude. I'm glad you were here for me. Take me back to my place on Wappinger.
Niko: Are you upset that you couldn't make amends?
Brian: Step nine's a tough one. Not everyone wants you to get better. I'll talk about it in group. You have to have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Right, dude? I mean that makes sense, I just can't always live it...
Niko: That is a healthy attitude.
(Niko and Brian arrive at Brian's house)
Brian: Thanks for everything, here's a token of my gratitude. Stay safe.

Alternate dialogue
Brian: It's amazing how low you can get without realizing that you actually have a problem. Finally, you hit rock bottom and you get help.
Niko: You were hitting the rocks alright.
Brian: The irony is not lost on me, friend. Addiction stole everything I had from me, it was a wild ride. I'm out of the tunnel now though.
(Niko drives Brian to Wappinger Avenue)
Niko: Are you okay?
Brian: These injuries are only physical, at least I didn't feel the hunger again. I mean I'm clean, but I'm still an addict and I can never let my guard down. At least I won't have to put myself in that position again.
Niko: Stay with your fiance and keep away from those scumbags, man. You've got a second chance here.
Brian: I do, dude. I do.
