There are two parts to this mission, the easy part and the hard part. First, get to the mall. That's not the easy part. Make sure you have a good strong car parked at the bottom of the escalator, facing away from the mall so you can get a clean escape.

Now, when you enter the blue mission area, things go a bit sideways. Dex replaces your perfectly good rifle, for which you probably have tons of ammo, with a totally useless McManus with six bullets. Not a rocket scientist, this Dex guy. Anyway, I found the grenades work real well here.

Start taking out the cars. Get any stragglers with the RPG (don't try to hit any close cars with the rocket launcher, you'll just hit the wall in front of you and blow the rocket up in your face). That's the easy part.

Now the hard part. You have a five star wanted level and you have to go a pretty good distance to the Forgive and Forget. Make a run for your car and do your best to keep the FBI off of you (they are by far the biggest problems). You may have to switch out to a different car before you get there (try to get one of the FBI cars, those are good and strong). Once you make it to the F&F, you finish the mission.
