Brief
Tommy Vercetti now owns the Vice City Print Works and after some consideration, decides to start counterfeiting money there, but to do so he needs money plates. It is rumored that a Counterfeit Syndicate is already operating in Florida; Kent Paul, Vice City's biggest rumor guy, may be able to confirm it.
The Mission
Set off to the Malibu Club; once there, rough up Kent Paul to learn that the Vice City Triads supply the plates to the Counterfeiting Syndicate and that the Triads' leader should know when the new plates are coming in.
Head for Viceport, since the VC Triads have their main base of operations in a freighter there. Once here, use your preferred method to dispatch the guards outside the ship; there are two patrolling the harbor side deck, one on the sea side, one on the command bridge, and one on the platform next to the steam pipes. Inside the ship, at the stern (rear), climb a set of stairs and eliminate the guard there, then kill the last guard at the entrance to the leader's office.
Note: After entering the ship from the leftmost plank, guards will start running out of the door on the left. At least on the PS2 version, more guards will spawn no matter how many you shoot.
Enter the office and in a short audio-only cutscene, Tommy beats up the Triads leader until he gives up the info. However, when you get out of the office, a guard sees you and the alarm goes off; now you have a three star Wanted Level. Either return the way you entered, or climb the last set of stairs next to the leader's office. Jump off the right edge of the freighter onto a platform about two stories below, then to the street below.
After escaping the freighter, evade the wanted level and return to the Print Works.
Script
(Vice City Print Works, Tommy Vercetti and Earnest Kelly.)
(Tommy arrives at the Print Works and looks through the machinery, then Earnest notices Tommy and goes to him.)
Earnest: Mr. Vercetti? Hey. You bought the old Print Works?
Tommy: Yeah, my old man used to work on these. I used to spend the evenings with him, cleaning the rollers...I was gonna follow him in his trade, but...I lived a different life.
Earnest: You planning on selling the old machinery, breaking it down?
Tommy: I'm thinking we could print something - a newspaper a magazine.
Earnest: Oh crap, sonny. Low grade crap. I've always fancied printing money. It ain't too hard. You know I've been doing it in a small scale for years.
Tommy: Really?
Earnest: Sure. But we need some good quality plates. Of course! There's a counterfeiting syndicate already operating in Florida.
Tommy: A syndicate?
Earnest: Yeah. But just rumors is all I've heard.
Tommy: I know a man who's good with rumors...
(The Malibu Club, Tommy and Kent Paul.)
(Kent is looking at a woman's ass in the club.)
Kent: Look at the arse on that!
(The woman leaves.)
Kent Paul: Alright, mate. Your loss, init!
(Tommy arrives.)
Kent: Awright me ol' china, how's it hangin'?
Tommy: What do you know about counterfeiting?
Kent: Oh I'm fine Paul, how 'bout you?
Tommy: Com here!
(Tommy grabs Kent's arm and bends it, then he throws him on his back on the bar.)
Kent: Awright! Awright! You're obviously a busy man! All I know about dodgy readys is that the Triads supply the plates!
(Tommy twists Kent's arm.)
Kent: AAARGHHH! They've got a shipping company down the docks! AAARGH! The boss man would know when the plates are coming in next!
Tommy: Thanks, Paul.
(Tommy lets Kent go.)
Kent: What's the matter with you, you maniac.
(Kent starts talking to the bartender.)
Kent: Gimme another drink, lively.
(Triad Freighter, Triad Leader.)
(Tommy shoots his way into the Triad Freighter and enters the Triad Boss' office.)
Triad Boss: Who are you?
(Tommy attacks the Triad Boss.)
Triad Boss: OOOOOIFF! AAAAIIEEE! Not the face! Not the face! OK, I talk! I talk!
(Tommy leaves and gets back to the Print Works.)
