The Green Sabre/Script

The following is a script of the The Green Sabre mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Script

(Sweet is inside his house, cheering up and motivating a bunch of Grove Street Families gang members.)

Sweet: So this is it - this is when we show the Ballas what bangin' is all about. Grove Street is king! Say it with me niggaz, Grove Street is KING!

Homies: Yeah! Grove Street is KING!

(Carl enters.)

Sweet: Whassup, CJ. Where you been?

CJ: Hey sorry, bro, I got caught up.

Sweet: Yeah, you probably was hittin' one o' them Ballas rats. Yeah I know what you was up to, nigga! Listen up - y'all down with CJ, right? He's been through a lot, I mean we all been through a lot. But CJ's helping us clean up the 'hood. He's taken the fight to the enemy.

CJ: Yeah.

Sweet: Showing all of us how we used to bang, what it used to mean to be a Grove Street Family. CJ, you're my brother, my running dog. I should have never doubted you.

CJ: It's nothing.

Sweet: But you're home now, partner - home.

CJ: For sure.

Sweet: Listen up! I want all y'all to go get heated, and meet me Downtown under the Mulholland Intersection. We're gonna roll on these Balla mother-fuckers!

Homie 1: A'ight, a'ight!

Sweet: I'll see y'all in traffic.

Homie 2: Yeah, let's roll!

Sweet: (to Carl) You in?

CJ: Hell yeah, I'm in, I'm your running dog, Sweet.

Sweet: Yeah, my nigga... Alright, you go get heated up, and I'll meet you at the crossroads.

(Carl is just outside Sweet's house as Sweet and the others have left when his phone rings.)

CJ: Hello?

Cesar: Yo, CJ, it's Cesar, man!

CJ: I'm kinda busy right now, something big going down.

Cesar: Ese, I gotta see you holmes, tell you something.

CJ: Look, if it's about Kendl, don't worry, be cool, alright.

Cesar: No, CJ, you gotta come up and see something ... Something important, eh!

CJ: This gonna have to wait.

Cesar: This can't wait, holmes! If I tell you, you won't believe it, ese, I swear.

CJ: Oh, okay, I got about five so it better be good, where you at?

Cesar: I'm under the freeway, north side of Verdant Bluffs.

(Carl and Mexican-American Varrios Los Aztecas gang leader Cesar "Ces" Vialpando are in a Bravura down the alleyway in Verdant Bluffs.)

CJ: So you dragged me way across town to see... what?

Cesar: Just in time, ese, take a good hard look over there.

(2 Ballas members exit a garage.)

CJ: So, some Ballas hanging around a dope spot, so what?

Cesar: Just watch, homie.

(High-ranking Grove Street Families members Lance "Ryder" Wilson and Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris come out of the door that the Ballas have just walked out of. However, while he fails to see Ryder, Carl does sight Smoke.)

CJ: What the fuck? Oh, no! Shit, Smoke, what you into?

Cesar: Ssshhh, ese, look at that ride...

(Smoke and Ryder pull open a garage door, wherein corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officer Frank Tenpenny is inside the garage along with a green Sabre, which is being pulled out by his partner, Edward "Eddie" Pulaski.)

CJ: That's the motherfucking green Sabre! (as Pulaski gets the car out and Tenpenny apparently begins explaining things to Smoke) Shit, Smoke... C.R.A.S.H. makin' you sell us out! Moms!

Cesar: Sorry ese, I heard a rumour and poked around. I didn't believe it myself but...

CJ: No, no, you did the right thing. I owe you, Ces. I gotta go tell Sweet about - Oh, fuck! Sweet! Look, go get Kendl and take her to a safe place!

Cesar: What you thinking?

CJ: It's Sweet, I think him and the homies is walking into a trap! Just go, GO!

(On his way to the Mulholland Intersection, Carl tries to connect to Sweet via call.)

CJ: God damn it, Sweet! Pick up, pick up!

Sweet's Voicemail: Hey, you tried to connect to Sweet, but he ain't picking up. So leave your message out for him.

CJ: Shit! Shit! Shit!

(Carl arrives under the intersection after Cesar leaves, only to see that Sweet is severely wounded and has rested himself to the ground on his knees.)

CJ: (holds Sweet's hand as he falls) Eh, Sweet man, you alright? You been hit!

Sweet: CJ... Where you been?

CJ: Cesar called, showed me some shit. It's Smoke, and he in deep with Tenpenny and some Ballas! He sold us out!

Sweet: It doesn't matter, man, (points him away) you gotta get out of here. The cops gonna arrive any second.

CJ: Nah man, I ain't runnin' out on my brother! Yo', Ballas! (gets up and shouts) I'm taking you mother-fuckers, you hear me? I'M TAKING YOU ALL DOWN, BITCHES!

(The police closes in on the battle. Carl holds his hands up in the air whilst Sweet is clutching his stomach on the floor. The screen cuts to Carl, Tenpenny and Pulaski in a police car in the middle of nowhere. Carl is covered and is handcuffed over the back. C.R.A.S.H. rookie Jimmy Hernandez is outside the car having a piss.)

Tenpenny: You got a bag over you head, boy. How you feel about that?

CJ: Man, take it off. Please, man, I can't breathe! Please!

Tenpenny: Oh, alright. But only because you said please. (takes the bag off Carl's head)

CJ: You fucking sick mother-fucker!

Tenpenny: Intimidate those who intimidate others, Carl. It's my job. Right, Ed?

CJ: Hey, man, where we at?

Tenpenny: The middle-of-fucking-nowhere. Nice, clean air.

CJ: Fucking Smoke! Oh, Sweet!

Tenpenny: Sweet is alive. Alive and inside. He's in a prison hospital being treated for gunshot wounds, awaiting trial.

Pulaski: Yeah, somehow, nobody's caught you yet.

Tenpenny: Oh yeah, you should be glad, Carl. Your moron brother's alive. Your street trash, soon to be turned out sister's alive. And, she's only sucking one grease-ball's dick. Things are going pretty well for you, Carl. So behave, nigga.

Pulaski: We want you to do a little favour for us, Carl.

CJ: I can't believe that nigga Smoke turned on me.

Pulaski: (pulls Carl out roughly) Smoke? Smoke does exactly what he's told to. He learned that lesson a long time ago. (opens his handcuff and frees him)

CJ: Relax, man! Take it easy!

Tenpenny: Homies for life? Street loyalty? That's all bullshit, Carl. Didn't you learn that when they ran you out of town, just 'cause you let Brian die? Huh? Eddie, I can't deal with this guy. He's an idiot!

Pulaski: (tries to shoot Carl dead) Let me air this fucker out, I...

Tenpenny: (stops Pulaski) No no no no no no no, Officer... For once, let's let the kid do something good with his useless life. He's gonna help us with the fight against crime. Right, Carl?

Pulaski: Yeah. By any means necessary.

Tenpenny: Now you stay the fuck away from Smoke, and stay the fuck away from us. Otherwise Sweet's going to find himself on a Ballas block getting in touch with his feminine side. Hey Hernandez, you going to piss all day?

CJ: (to Pulaski) Get your hands off me, man.

Pulaski: For some reason, we've got a little problem with a former friend of ours, he seems to disagree with some of our methods.

CJ: Now who could do that?

Tenpenny: Yeah, you'll never find anybody as fork-tongued as this snake ass bastard. Soon as he gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, he'll whistle any tune Internal Affairs want him to.

Pulaski: See, they've got him hiding up Mount Chiliad someplace, so they can manipulate his testimony any way they want to.

Tenpenny: I want you to pay him a little visit, Carl. And destroy all his evidence before he testifies.

Pulaski: Sort this out, Carl, so Officer Tenpenny can sleep easy at night. We want evidence he ain't gonna talk.
