'''The Introduction''' is a roughly 20 minute video that details how events in [[GTA Vice City]] led to events in [[GTA San Andreas]], available with the American [[PS2]] Special Edition of ''GTA San Andreas'' or the official soundtrack double CD.  It is set in 1991, and appears to replace the need for a '''GTA San Andreas Stories''' prequel, like [[GTA Liberty City Stories]] and [[GTA Vice City Stories]] (each explained the events leading up to [[GTA III]] and ''GTA Vice City'' respectively).

The video features a scene that depicts [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]] discussing [[Jimmy Hernandez]]' assignment with them, and the threat [[Ralph Pendelbury]] poses.  In a later scene, Tenpenny is overheard verbally harassing an unknown person on the phone.  When they go to pick up Hernandez, he appears to be a good, straight cop, and Tenpenny is particularly hard on him.  In the last scene featuring this trio, Pulaski is kicking a downed officer, obviously Pendelbury.

==Ken Rosenberg==
A later thread of scenes documents [[Ken Rosenberg]]'s path from [[Vice City]] to [[San Andreas]].  The first scene depicts [[Johnny Sindacco]] proposing to [[Salvatore Leone]] a three-way split between the [[Sindacco Family]], the [[Leone Family]], and the [[Forelli Family]] of a new casino, with Salvatore's five million dollar investment managed by the Sindaccos.  Salvatore isn't pleased with the terms of this offer, and names his own terms; he gets control of the books.  He then suggests to Johnny that he would be pleased with a "neutral" third-party to manage things, and tells Johnny to get rid of their guy to prove the value of his involvement.

The final scene in this thread depicts Salvatore barging into Ken Rosenberg's office, demanding to know why Ken hasn't worked harder to earn his investment back.  Salvatore implies that he got this job for Ken so that he could be ''his'' man.

Line 25: Line 30:
There is another shot of a green Sabre cruising down a road in [[Ganton]], then the final scene features the Sabre driving down the street Sweet's house is on, and then gunfire coming from the car, riddling Sweet's mother's house with bullets.  As the car drives away, Sweet rushes into the house, then back out to stop [[Kendl]], who was just about to enter.  As Kendl weeps on the steps of the porch, Sweet calls CJ to tell him that his mother is dead.
