With the city firmly under the control of the Saints, Julius rewards the player for their efforts by naming them his chief lieutenant. Shortly thereafter, however, Stilwater's corrupt police chief, Richard Monroe, has Julius arrested and forces the player to murder the city's mayor for his opponent, Alderman Richard Hughes (Clancy Brown), under the threat of having Julius killed in prison. The player complies, but Monroe refuses to release Julius, causing the Saints to ambush Monroe's motorcade, killing him and rescuing Julius. After winning the mayoral election, Hughes invites the player to his private yacht, and reveals his intention to have the Saints arrested and Saint's Row sold to private developers after being razed. Meanwhile, Troy is revealed to have been an undercover cop working to dismantle the Saints, and Julius watches the yacht from a distance, having placed hidden explosives on it. As Julius leaves, the yacht is destroyed in an explosion, seemingly killing everyone onboard and ending the story on a cliffhanger.
