Carl Johnson: Difference between revisions

Shortly after he receives a phone call from Sweet, Carl's vendetta with Tenpenny and Smoke, fueled by Madd Dogg having to sell his [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]] to [[Los Santos Vagos]] drug lord [[Big Poppa]], prompts him to return to Los Santos, [[A Home in the Hills|taking back the rapper's mansion by force]]. While he is busy observing Paul and Maccer recording Madd Dogg's new album, Carl receives an unprecedented call from Toreno, who apparently has [[Vertical Bird|one final but highly dangerous string for Carl to pull off, despite Carl's extreme frustration and fatigue at first and later his expression of huge disgust and close-shave experience of a life-and-death crisis]] before Toreno [[Home Coming|relays in his final visit to the studio, to Carl, who is alone discussing business on phone, that Sweet has finally been released from prison]]. Carl attempts to persuade Sweet into moving away from Grove Street and joining him in Madd Dogg's Mansion, but Sweet is disgusted at Carl, who he assumes is now a lavish millionaire who has abandoned the Grove Street Families and his gang lifestyle. Sweet immediately takes Carl to begin their task of reclaiming all of their turf. As the gang returns to power, Carl finds time to [[Cut Throat Business|get back Madd Dogg's rhyme book]] from Loc, rebuilding Madd Dogg's career as well as giving a subtle blow to Smoke. In the case against Tenpenny, it is shown on the news that since there is no evidence implicating him in his criminal activities (evidence that Tenpenny had Carl destroy), along with no remaining witnesses (witnesses that Tenpenny had Carl kill), he would walk free, and only minutes after this, there were citywide [[Riot (GTA SA)|riots]]. During the confusion, [[Grove Street Families|Groves Street]] acquires almost half of the city's turf. Carl later joins Sweet back home to [[End of the Line|confront Smoke, whose whereabouts have been traced to a fortified crack den in the city]] and  

personally kills Smoke after a bitter confrontation to earn Sweet's respect after barging into his crack palace, and Tenpenny also dies after losing control of his firetruck and plunging off of the bridge above [[Grove Street]]. At a celebration at the Johnson house, Madd Dogg announces "''our'' first gold record" to Carl and [[Ken Rosenberg]]. Later in the night, Sweet insists on making Grove Street a priority, Kendl suggests going back to Las Venturas to rejoin Woozie, but Carl's only reply is that he is "fittin' to hit the block, see what's happening".
