Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto is returning for a eighth season:
In 1987, Carl "CJ" Johnson witnesses his younger brother,
Brian, being murdered by the rival gang members. Being blamed for the murder and
under a lot of pressure, Carl leaves Los Santos and starts a new life, moving to
Liberty City.
5 years later in 1992, Carl is an ambitious car thief and working with Joey Leone, a professional mechanic and a Leone
Family member. He suddenly gets a call from his older brother, Sweet, who informs him that their mother, Beverly Johnson, has been murdered. Carl decides
to go home for the funeral.
Upon returning and arriving in the hood, corrupt C.R.A.S.H. police officers Frank Tenpenny (Samuel L. Jackson) and Edward "Eddie" Pulaski (Chris
Penn), whom Carl has had history with, apprehend him and threaten
to frame him for a fellow officer's murder (which they had commited just minutes
earlier) unless he assists them in their illegal operations.
Carl returns to his former home on Grove Street and reunites with his brother
Sweet (Faizon
Love) and fellow gangsters Ryder (MC Eiht), Big Smoke (Clifton Powell) and OG
Loc to reestablish Grove Street Families as the
predominant gang in Los Santos. Carl, Ryder and Big Smoke begin intercepting
shipments of weapons, waging war with rival gangs "Ballas" and "Vagos" for turf,
and reducing the influence of crack cocaine among Family members. Carl also
begins helping OG Loc establish a music career by ruining the career of
prominent rapper Madd Dogg (Ice-T). While working to re-establish the gang,
Carl begins mending relationships and gradually earning back respect from his
family and allies especially earning back respect from Sweet, for leaving Los
Santos five years prior.
Shortly before a large gang battle with the Ballas, Carl receives a call from
his sister Kendl’s boyfriend Cesar Vialpando (Clifton
Collins, Jr.), a leader of the smaller Hispanic street gang
"Varrios Los Aztecas", who shows Carl a green "Sabre" (the vehicle long-rumored to have been
involved in his mother’s shooting) being escorted by Big Smoke, Ryder, a group
of Ballas, and Tenpenny. Carl then realizes that they were the one's responsible
for the slaying. Carl then attempts to rush back to the battle, but is too late
to save his brother from being ambushed and nearly killed. Carl defeats the rest
of the Ballas there, but is arrested by Pulaski and Tepenny who arrive on the
scene, and dumped in the San Andreas countryside to assassinate a witness
threatening Tenpenny and Pulaski. They also instruct him to keep his distance
from them and Big Smoke. Meanwhile, Big Smoke and Ryder, now openly in league
with the Ballas, take over the remaining Grove Street territories in Los Santos,
flooding it with crack cocaine.
While hiding in the countryside from the now Ballas and Vagos-controlled Los
Santos,Carl is enlisted by Tenpenny to work with an aged marijuana farmer and
hippie "The Truth" (Peter Fonda) in preparation to discredit a
district attorney who has evidence of his and Pulaski's corruption. In the
meantime, the similarly exiled Cesar sets Carl up to assist in a robbery spree
with his cousin Catalina and joining in underground street races
for some much needed money. Through these races, Carl meets the blind Triad
leader Wu Zi “Woozie” Mu and wins the deed to a garage
in San Fierro from Catalina. With help from The Truth, Carl works to convert the
garage to a chop
shop by hiring mechanics Dwaine and Jethro, and electronics
expert Zero (David Cross).
Besides sending the D.A. to prison for planted marijuana for Tenpenny, Carl
insinuates himself in San Fierro's Loco Syndicate, Smoke and Ryder's cocaine
connection, consisting of pimp Jizzy B, San Fierro "Rifa" gang leader T-Bone
Mendez, and undercover government agent Mike Toreno. Carl eventually
assassinates the Syndicate leaders, Ryder, and destroys their crack factory. He
also helps Woozie fend off a rival San Fierro Vietnamese gang, the Da Nang Boys.
Zero also phones Carl to tell him that his landlord is selling his shop. Carl
can choose to buy Zero's shop to save his business, and help him wage an RC war
against his rival, Berkley.
Carl is contacted by the presumed-dead Loco Syndicate leader Mike Toreno (James Woods), who reveals he's a secret
government agent and agrees to secure Sweet's release from jail in return for
Carl's help in several shady operations.
Later, Carl is invited by Woozie to become a partner in the Four
Dragons Casino in Las Venturas, where they are facing harassment
from the Mafia-run Caligula's Palace casino. To displace the Mafia,
they begin planning to rob Caligula's. Through The Truth, Carl meets music
producer Kent Paul (Danny Dyer) and his client Maccer. Carl meets
Caligula's manager Ken Rosenberg (Bill
Fichtner), under pressure for support from the three Liberty City
families. When Salvatore Leone (Frank Vincent) comes to Las Venturas to take over
all of Caligula's for himself he takes Rosenberg, Kent Paul, and Maccer hostage,
but Carl helps them escape under the guise of helping Salvatore. Whilst working
for Salvatore, Carl is sent back to Liberty City in order to take out a mafia
family operating at Saint Mark's Bistro. After final planning Carl and Woozie
carry out their heist, taking millions of dollars from Salvatore's Casino. After
the heist Carl receives a phone call from an enraged Salvatore who repeatedly
tells Carl he's "Dead!" along with threats of murdering his friends and family.
Carl mocks Salvatore and hangs up. Salvatore isn't heard from again for the rest
of the game.
Meanwhile, Tenpenny and Pulaski, now under indictment, try to kill Carl, but
Carl manages to kill Pulaski. Carl also saves the fallen Madd Dogg from suicide,
becoming his manager, and reestablishing him in Los Santos. Shortly after Carl
does one last odd job for Toreno, Sweet is finally released and has Carl once
again help him restore Grove Street.
Tenpenny goes to trial for several felonies, but the charges are dropped for
lack of evidence since all the prosecution's witnesses are either disgraced,
missing, or dead. Tenpenny's release sends anger and shock throughout Los
Santos, triggering the in-game rendition of the 1992
Los Angeles Riots.
Meanwhile, Cesar has also returned to Los Santos and requests that Carl help
him reestablish the Varrios Los Aztecas, as the Vagos have taken over the area.
After Cesar returns to his gang, Sweet manages to track down Big Smoke who is
living in a fortified crack fortress. Carl breaks through all of the defenses
and kills Big Smoke in a shootout only to be confronted by Tenpenny who steals
all of Big Smoke's drug money and escapes in a firetruck. Carl and Sweet pursue
Tenpenny through the streets of Los Santos until Tenpenny loses control and
crashes off a bridge, landing at the entrance of the Grove Street cul-de-sac.
Tenpenny manages to crawl free of the wreckage before collapsing. As Tenpenny is
dying Carl considers shooting him, but Sweet stops him, saying that they
shouldn't leave evidence that Tenpenny was killed instead of it just being an
accident.
In the aftermath Carl's family and friends arrive at the Johnson house for a
meeting. Madd Dogg announces that he's received a gold record for his new album.
Cesar proposes to Kendl. As his friends and allies celebrate their success, Carl
turns to leave. When Kendl asked where he's going, he replies, "Fittin' to hit
the block, see what's happening."
