CJ is at the airport.
CJ
(Voice-over)
After five years on the East
Coast, it was time to go home.
(On screen) Los Santos International Airport.
A previous phone call is heard.
Phone rings.
CJ
'Sup?
SWEET
Carl, it's Sweet.
CJ
Wazzup, Sweet, what you want?
SWEET
It's Moms... She's dead bro.
CJ gets into a taxi.
Police pull over the taxi. Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez get
out.
TENPENNY
(into megaphone)
Passenger. Show us your hands.
Stop. Get down on your knees. Now
down on your stomach. There you
go.
Hernandez cuffs CJ and takes his money
TENPENNY
I'll take that Hernandez.
CJ
Hey, that's my paper man. That's
money.
TENPENNY
This is drug money.
CJ
My money, man...
PULASKI
Hey don't worry about it, I'll
fill it out later.
TENPENNY
Welcome home, Carl. Glad to be
back? You haven't forgotten about
us, have you boy?
CJ
Hell no, Officer Tenpenny. I was
just wondering what took y'all so
long.
TENPENNY
Get in the car.
CJ
Ease up, man. Damn.
TENPENNY
Watch your head.
Tenpenny bangs CJ's head on the car as he's putting him in.
TENPENNY
Oh! My bad.
PULASKI
(to taxi driver)
Get outta here, you grease-ball
bastard!
(To himself)
Stupid Mexican...
(To Hernandez)
Oh, hey, sorry.
CJ
My bag. Hey, man, my bag!
View on police car driving.
TENPENNY
How you been, Carl? How's your
wonderful family?
CJ
I'm here to bury my Moms. You know
that.
TENPENNY
Yeah, I guess I do. So what else
you got shakin' Carl?
CJ
Nothing. I live in Liberty City
now. I'm clean. Legit.
TENPENNY
No, you ain't never been clean,
Carl.
PULASKI
Well what've we got here?
TENPENNY
This is a weapon, Officer Pulaski,
that was used to gun down a police
officer not ten minutes ago.
Officer Pendelbury. A fine man, I
might add. You work fast, [racial slur].
CJ
You know I just got off the plane!
PULASKI
It's a good thing we found you and
retrieved the murder weapon.
CJ
That ain't my gun.
TENPENNY
Don't bullshit me, Carl
PULASKI
Yeah, don't bullshit him, Carl.
CJ
What the [frick] you want from me
this time?
TENPENNY
When we want you, we'll find you.
In the meantime, try not to gun
down any more officers of the law.
CJ
You can't leave me here - it's
BALLAS country.
TENPENNY
I thought you said you was
innocent, Carl? That you don't
bang?
PULASKI
(into his radio)
This is car 58... WHAT?!
TENPENNY
See you around like a doughnut,
Carl...
PULASKI
Officer Pendelbury's down? We'll
be right over.
CJ
Ah shit, here we go again. Worst
place in the world. Rollin Heights
Balla Country. I ain't represented
Grove Street in five years, but
the Ballas won't give a shit.
Big Smoke
CJ is in his house.
He hears voices from when he was younger.
KENDL
Stop it! What are you doing? Carl,
Brian, stop it!
CJ
Quit it! Moms will hear!
KENDL
Mom! They're up to something!
Big Smoke enters the room holding a baseball bat.
BIG SMOKE
You picked the wrong house, fool!
CJ
Big Smoke! It's me, Carl! Chill,
chill!
BIG SMOKE
CJ, my dog! Whassup? Hey baby, you
OK, man?
CJ
No, man, it's my Moms, homie...
BIG SMOKE
Hey, I don't know why this had to
happen, but I promise you, I'm
going to find out who killed your
Moms! The streets is cold, dog.
Like it says in the book, we are
blessed and cursed.
CJ
What [frick]ing book?
BIG SMOKE
Same things make us laugh, make us
cry. But right now, we gotta take
care our business. Go see your
brother at the cemetery. C'mon,
let's bounce.
CJ and Big Smoke get into Big Smoke's car.
BIG SMOKE
You want to drive?
CJ
Yeah, that's cool. Nice car,
Smoke.
BIG SMOKE
You know me. It's not cut. Keep
the value in it. Keep it real.
Sweet & Kendl
CJ and Big Smoke enter the cemetery, where Sweet, Ryder and
Kendl are already waiting for Big Smoke.
BIG SMOKE
I've missed you these five years,
man - they gonna be real happy to
see you.
(To Sweet, Ryder and
Kendl)
Hey, what's up, y'all? Look who I
found hanging around.
KENDL
Carl, hey, good to see you.
CJ
I can't believe she's gone, man.
SWEET
That's another funeral you ran
away from, fool. Just like
Brian's.
CJ
Hey, she was my Momma too.
SWEET
Not for the past 5 years she
wasn't, [racial slur].
Kendl starts walking away.
SWEET
And were the [frick] you think you're
going?
KENDL
What? get out of my face. I'm
going to see Cesar.
SWEET
The hell you are, girl! You ain't
messing with them eses, you know
we beefing -
KENDL
Look, I love him! And what the
[frick] are you?
SWEET
At least I got principles.
KENDL
Oh, and I guess that makes you an
upstanding American. Carl, tell
him!
SWEET
Carl, don't tell me shit, bitch.
CJ
As long as he treats her right.
Disrespect you, and he's dead.
SWEET
(to CJ)
How the hell you gonna say that?
Like it's any business of yours.
KENDL
[frick] you, Sweet.
CJ
Oh, shit - here we go again.
SWEET
This shit's real [frick]ed up.
Everything!
CJ
What you mean?
SWEET
What, apart from your Mother being
dead? Things are going real bad.
Here, let me show you, running
man. Tony's buried over there.
Little Devil over there, Big Devil
over there. Man, it's just crazy -
everybody blasts on fools first
then asks questions second.
The four homies are walking to Big Smoke's car.
RYDER
Ballas! Drive by! Incoming!
Big Smoke's car gets blown up in the shooting.
BIG SMOKE
Awww, mother-[frick]er, my car!
SWEET
We gotta get back to the 'hood,
man, it's too crazy round here!
Grab a bike and pedal. Even you
ain't forgotten that.
///MISSION\\\
SWEET
Shit! A Ballas car is onto us!
Split up!
Sweet splits and CJ and Big Smoke have to follow Ryder.
RYDER
Keep up, mother-[frick]er!
///MISSION\\\
The four homies meet at Grove Street.
RYDER
I got with them mother-[frick]ers
though - showed them [racial slur]z who's
gangsta. Ryder, [racial slur]!
SWEET
So when you leaving, Carl?
CJ
I ain't sure. Thought I might
stay. Things is [frick]ed up.
SWEET
Well, the last thing we need is
your help.
CJ
Aw man, I won't let you down, I
swear.
SWEET
Hey, we're gonna call up some
'hood rats and chill the hell out.
You want some?
CJ
I gotta whole lot going on, and
I'm tired. I'll catch ya'll later.
BIG SMOKE
Hey yo' just drop in. We all
hangin' out.
RYDER
Yeah, and get yourself some
colours, fool. And a haircut -
it's embarrassing to be seen with
you!
