Tommy Vercetti was given the opportunity to work for Ricardo, while Lance Vance infiltrated the gang under a different name. As Tommy continued to work for Ricardo and planned for a takeover of Ricardo's empire, Lance attempted the overthrow prematurely, failing to kill Ricardo and resulting in his capture and torture by the gang, before Tommy rushed to the rescue. This event forced the two to raid the Diaz Mansion and kill Ricardo before Ricardo kills the pair himself, killing many of Diaz' men on the way. | Tommy Vercetti was given the opportunity to work for Ricardo, while Lance Vance infiltrated the gang under a different name.

The two are frequently in conflict with each other, and gunfights between both parties are not uncommon; police act against both parties when gun battles occur. In addition, policemen will pursue and kill Diaz' Gang mobsters in the same manner as they do with other gang members and street criminals, allowing the player to attain "[[Good Citizen Bonus]]es" worth $50 each for each punch/kick/attack delivered to a fleeing mobster. The player must be careful though, as the mobster (or any nearby mobsters) may attack player with a pistol.
