The Third Way (Ending C) - Mission Details:
This mission is triggered if Franklin chooses option C (Deathwish). According to further developments in GTA Online, this is confirmed to be the canon ending of GTA V.
At the end of Lamar Down, Franklin is approached by Haines and Dave to kill Trevor. Later on, after The Big Score, Devin visits Franklin at his house and tasks him with killing Michael. Once Devin leaves, Franklin has to make a choice, either:
Kill Trevor (A)
Kill Michael (B)
Deathwish (C)
Franklin picks the Deathwish option, not wanting to kill Michael or Trevor. He calls Lester saying he has a problem that they're all ultimately going to need help with. Lester asks Franklin to come and meet him at his place.
Once at Lester house, he explains that Haines and Dave want Trevor dead and Devin wants Michael dead. Lester doesn't really help and just says he should kill Michael then kill Trevor. Franklin doesn't like that option and he and Lester just state that they are fucked. However, Lester comes up with a plan that could just work.
He wants to create a trap and tell both the FIB and Merryweather that Michael, Trevor and Franklin are at the foundry in Murrieta Heights, melting down the take from The Big Score, when they'll actually be there to take down the mercenaries of both factions.
Ambush at the Foundry
Franklin calls Lamar, asking for his help in it all. Lamar is more than happy to help so Franklin goes and picks him up. Franklin explains the plan as they journey to the foundry. Franklin head into the foundry and Lamar says outside on lookout.
Michael and Trevor are already in the foundry as Lester called them to tell them the plan. Michael and Trevor are in another heated argument that Franklin breaks up, explaining that he's there to save their asses and will happily kill them both if they can't keep their cool. Lamar calls to say the heat has arrived. Michael and Trevor put their differences aside and get into position.
The trio ambush the FIB team. At this point, play can be switched between all three protagonists. Merryweather agents also show up and the group continues to battle the heat in waves. Lamar radios Franklin to say he's in some trouble outside. Franklin goes outside to help him fight off all the mercenaries outside.
Michael radio's Trevor but he doesn't respond. He was last seen being swarmed by a FIB team. Play switches to Michael, who goes to check on Trevor. He goes to Trevor's last known location to find Trevor all ok, he was just a bit winded after being knocked out. The pair continue to fight the waves of mercenaries from inside the foundry. Once clear inside, Michael and Trevor join Lamar and Franklin with the fight outside.
Tying up Loose Ends
After clearing all the waves of heat outside, they all regroup outside the main doors. Between Michael, Trevor and Franklin, they decide to take out all of their enemies, in particular Steve Haines, Wei Cheng, Stretch and Devin Weston.
