Walkthrough

Brief

Sonny Forelli, Don of the Forelli Mafia, is coming into town to get his cut of Tommy Vercetti's new action, but Tommy doesn't want to pay up, so he sets up three million dollars of counterfit money andn tries to brive Sonny with it. However, Tommy's associate, Lance Vance, betrays Tommy and joins Sonny by telling him about the cunterfit money, leading a huge gun battle to ensue.

The Mission

Part 1: Defend The Safe - The first part of the mission, select your gun and prepare to slaughter incoming enemies. Several of Sonny's goons will enter the house, you will have to kill them before they reach your office. Once you've killed about 20 guys, the next part of the mission begins.

Part 2: Backstabbing Prick - It's time to kill the backstabbing prick, Lance. He will come into the main hall wielding a Krueger assault rifle, shoot him until he runs away through a hallway near him. Then five Forelli's will come in, kill them or just follow Lance. Lance will wait for you at the end of the halway he ran through, shoot him and he'll run again and set off a new Forelli man on you. Once you kill the Forelli, go to the nearby central stairs and shoot Lance who will be above you, then he'll run into the roof. Go there and you'll find 10 Forelli's, kill them and then shoot Lance, once Lance is dead, the third and final part of the mission begins.

Part 3: Finish Forelli - Now go down to the main hall again, the way you ran after Lance, get in the office, kill the Forelli's there and recover health with the health spawn in there, when you walk out of the office, Sonny will show up with two more guys, shoot Sonny and his guys, once Sonny is out, the mission is over and Tommy appoints Ken Rosenberg as his right hand man, replacing Lance.

Script

(Tommy's Office, Tommy Vercetti, Lance Vance and Ken Rosenberg.)

Tommy Vercetti: What's going on?

Ken Rosenberg: Tommy! Oh good, good. Listen, listen. Uh, listen. I like fish, I love fish. I love them as pets in bowls, or as food on a plate. But as much as I love 'em, I don't want to sleep with them. Okay, but right now your italian brothers are coming from up there to fit me with some cement shoes, and I...

Tommy: Shut up Ken. Sit down. Lance, what the hell's going on?

Lance Vance: It's your friends from up north Tommy. They ain't too happy you capped their man. They're coming down to see the business today.

Tommy: They took longer than I thought...Guys, we gotta make this final we gotta leave no doubt that this operation is mine. MINE! Ken, you get the first run of counterfit cash and put three mil in briefcases. Lance, you get the guys together...

(Vercetti Estate, Tommy, Lance, Ken and Sonny Forelli.)

Sonny Forelli: Tommy! What? No big hugs for your old buddy.

Tommy: I've had fifteen years out of the loop, I'm a bit rusty on family etiquette.

Sonny: Always angry, huh Tommy? Didn't I say your temper would get you into trouble, huh?

Tommy: There's three mil in the cases...

Sonny: How many was it? Ten, no, eleven men. That's how you get to be called The Hardwood Buthcer! Heh-heh-heh.

Tommy: You sent me to kill one man, ONE MAN! They knew I was coming Sonny...

Sonny: Tommy, Tommy, watch your tone...Anyone would think you blame me for that unfortunate set of circumstances.

Tommy: Just take the money...

Sonny: Get the damn cash. You know, Tommy? I did what I could for you, I pulled strings, called in favours...I was your friend, Tommy. I hoped you'd see sense, see what's good for business. I trusted you, Tommy, and you dissapointed me. But at least someone in your chicken shit organisation knows how to do business. Isn't that right, Lance?

Lance: I'm sorry Tommy. This is Vice City. This is business.

Tommy: You sold us out...

Lance: No, I sold YOU out, Tommy. I sold YOU out. The real cash is upstairs in the safe.

Sonny: Tommy, what was the big plan? You think I'd just take the fake cash? Save face and run away with my tail between my legs?!

Tommy: No. I just wanted to piss you off before I kill you.

(Vercetti Estate, Tommy and Lance.)

Lance: No one to cover your ass now, eh Tommy?

Tommy: Your going down, you back stabbing prick!

Lance: Oh, you think so?

(Vercetti Estate Helipad, Tommy and Lance.)

Lance: You're history, Tommy, HISTORY!

Tommy: This is the last Dance for Lance Vance.

(Vercetti Estate, Tommy and Sonny.)

Tommy: You took fifteen years from me Sonny! And now I'm gonna make you pay!

Sonny: You still don't get it do you? I OWN you, Tommy! Those fifteen years were mine to spend! Get him boys, he never understood a thing.

(Vercetti Estate, Tommy and Ken.)

Ken: Tommy? Oh my god, Tommy! What happened?

Tommy: What does it look like?

Ken: It looks like you ruined yur suit! and Tommy, that was a beautiful suit! Tommy, what on earth happened!

Tommy: I had a disagreement with a business associate, you know how it is.

Ken: Tommy, I have a disagreement, I send them an angry letter. Maybe I pee in their mailbox, I don't start World War III! You know, maybe you should speak to my shrink...

Tommy: That stupid prick, Lance.

Ken: Tommy. I never liked that guy, OK? e's neurotic, he's insecure, he's selfcentred - the guy's an asshole! I'm glad you took him out!

Tommy: I don't think we're gonna be getting any more heat from up north, either...'cause there ain't no more "up north", anymore. it's all down south now.

Ken: Wait, does that mean what I think it means...? Tommy, baby!

Tommy: What do you think it means?

Ken: That we're in charge...I mean that you're in charge. Oh, Tommy!

Tommy: You know, Ken. This could be the begining of a beautiful business relationship...After all, you're a canniving, backstabbing, two-bit thief. And I'm a convicted psychotic killer and drug dealer.

Ken: I know. Ain't it just beautiful?
