'''Tanker Commander''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] by countryside criminal [[Catalina]] from the [[Gasso]] [[Filling Stations|filling station]] in the town of [[Dillimore]] in [[Red County]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].


'''Gonzalez''', also spelt '''Gonzales''', is a recurring character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] (set in [[1986]]) and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] (set in [[1984]]). He is voiced in both appearances by [[Jorge Pupo]], who also voices [[Alberto Robina]] in GTA Vice City Stories.
==Mission==
Catalina points a [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotgun]] at a Gasso store employee inside the store, saying that he should give her the takings. The employee responds that the store has bulletproof glass. Catalina, realizing there's nothing else to do, decides that she and Carl just steal a [[tanker]] nearby and its [[Towing|trailer]]. They both hop on the tanker, and Catalina knows a [[Mr. Whittaker|person]] who would buy it. However, both the store employee and [[Derek|the cashier]] give chase. However, Catalina and Carl safely get to [[RS Haul]] in [[Flint County]]. Mr. Whittaker receives the tanker, and he gives Carl and Catalina a lump of money.


==Character history==
==Script==
===Up to the early 1980s===
'''(''Catalina points her shotgun to the gas station employee.'')'''
At an unknown time Gonzalez and [[Juan Cortez|Colonel Juan Cortez]] became friends and allies, both gaining entry and diplomatic immunity to the [[United States]], both settling in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], with Gonzalez moving to the city first. Gonzalez becomes Cortez's right hand, although in [[1984]] he is shown to be stealing some of Cortez' cocaine to make a small profit for himself. He later allies himself with [[Victor Vance]], after testing him through a game a golf, asking Victor to [[Purple Haze|transport]] some cocaine, which was almost stolen by others looking for a profit. Gonzalez later has a number of meetings with [[Ricardo Diaz]], who also employs Victor, who is aware of his actions behind Cortez' back. He later blackmails Gonzalez into giving him secrets about Cortez' drug shipments, as Diaz plans on becoming the city's drug baron, and in return he agrees to spare his life. Gonzalez later manages to flee the city, catching a flight from [[Escobar International Airport]], although he is attacked by the [[Sharks]].


===Return to Vice City===
'''Catalina''': Hand over the takings, or I blow your fucking balls off!
At some point between 1984 and 1986 Gonzalez moves back to the city alongside Cortez. The [[Vice City Police Department]] (VCPD), already aware of his former underground work, see him as a way to learn more about Cortez' operation, and are suspicious of his relations with Diaz. He later informs Ricardo Diaz of a planned drug deal between the [[Vance Crime Family]] and the [[Forelli Family]], which is ambushed by [[Diaz's Gang|Diaz' men]]. Cortez, seemingly aware of Gonzalez' treachery, begins to look into the ambushed drug deal, that he had helped to set up, and looks closely at Gonzalez, who is also disliked by his daughter [[Mercedes Cortez|Mercedes]]. Cortez discovers his secret business relationship with Diaz, even openly suggesting to [[Tommy Vercetti]] that Diaz may have been involved in the ambushed drug deal, although he does not accuse Diaz. Cortez has the 'incompetant' Gonzalez [[Treacherous Swine|killed]] by Vercetti, who had been present at the ambushed drug deal. Gonzalez was killed whilst fleeing his penthouse in [[Vice Point]]. His killing attracts the attention of the VCPD, due to Gonzalez having diplomatic immunity, although Tommy escapes.
