'''Interdiction''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson]] by government agent [[Mike Toreno]] from his [[Mike Toreno's Ranch|ranch]] in [[Tierra Robada]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. | '''Interdiction''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] by undercover government agent [[Mike Toreno|Michael "Mike" Toreno]] from his [[Mike Toreno's Ranch|ranch]] in [[Tierra Robada]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. | ||

Toreno needs a favor, but | Carl arrives only to find Toreno needs a favor, but he just wants to know more about his incarcerated brother, [[Grove Street Families]] leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]]. Toreno explains that he is in prison, up-state, and that he is fine. Toreno then reveals that corrupt [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]] had killed fellow Internal Affairs officer [[Ralph Pendelbury]] after he threatened to expose their operation. The moment this convinces Carl of Toreno's identity and promise, the latter then then goes on to explain the task - there is precious cargo that needs collecting. | ||
Carl heads for [[Las Brujas]], near [[El Castillo del Diablo]]. Once there, Toreno speaks to him through a speaker, and instructs him a few things. Carl then picks up a [[rocket launcher]] and chooses a vehicle to climb up [[Arco del Oeste]]. Once atop Arco del Oeste, | Carl heads for [[Las Brujas]], near [[El Castillo del Diablo]]. Once there, Toreno speaks to him through a speaker, and instructs him a few things. Carl then picks up a [[rocket launcher]] and chooses a vehicle to climb up [[Arco del Oeste]]. Once atop Arco del Oeste, Carl lights up a flare to signal the [[Leviathan|contraband helicopter]]. The helicopter heads for Arco del Oeste, but are ambushed by agency choppers. Carl then uses the rocket launcher to shoot down the agency helicopters, protecting the contraband chopper and the package. Afterwards, the helicopter drops the contraband north of [[Verdant Meadows]]. Carl picks it up, and heads for a garage in Las Brujas. | ||

* | *Although Toreno mentions that Tenpenny and Pulaski killed Pendelbury, it was in fact C.R.A.S.H. recruit [[Jimmy Hernandez]] who killed him upon the behest of the duo, but during defection to Internal Affairs and the Feds, he did not name himself, since admitting he murdered an honest officer could bring his own life trouble. This is very much evident as a bone of contention for Tenpenny and Pulaski during finale C.R.A.S.H. missions [[Misappropriation]] and [[High Noon]], wherein Hernandez is killed in the latter after Tenpenny learns of his betrayal. However, it isn't clear whether his other possible betrayal, that of his act of exposing the C.R.A.S.H. involvement in [[The Introduction|Beverly Johnson's murder]] to Mexican-American [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] gang leader [[Cesar Vialpando]], immediately after [[Reuniting the Families|the shootout between the Families and the LSPD]], is known to Tenpenny, since it was not visible when Cesar [[The Green Sabre|exposed Tenpenny and Pulaski]] to Carl. | ||
*The unique black agent helicopters can be obtained by failing the mission and waiting for the chopper to land to [[Towing|tow]] it back to the [[Doherty Garage|Doherty garage]], however the only thing unique about them is their black color. Oddly, the chopper still makes noises while you're towing it, and the agents are scared of | *Toreno's assurance to Carl that "Sweet's just fine" makes a huge hint visible to the player - Tenpenny was simply using both Pulaski and [[Grove Street Families]] defaulter [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] for personal, selfish gains. This is evident during [[High Noon]], where Carl tells Pulaski that Tenpenny would have "rubbed him out too", and during [[End of the Line]], wherein Tenpenny steals Smoke's drug money, intending to use it to leave the city before rioters kill him. Once free, he did not care even a bit about the two, as he was simply wanting to use him to do his bidding. | ||
*This is the first time since the post-mission phone calls after [[Badlands|Carl's on-exile activity]] that Sweet is mentioned in any mission, provided [[Customs Fast Track]] has not been played beforehand. However, it is best to play [[Customs Fast Track]] after this mission, as a knowledge of Sweet's whereabouts is well-reflected when Carl mentions that he is in a shitty situation. Hence, the correct order of playing the ranch and car business missions would be:- | |||
1. [[Monster (mission)|Monster]] ---- 2. [[Zeroing In]] ---- 3. [[Highjack]] ---- 4. [[Test Drive]] ---- 5. [[Interdiction]] ---- 6. [[Customs Fast Track]] | |||
*The unique black agent helicopters can be obtained by failing the mission and waiting for the chopper to land to [[Towing|tow]] it back to the [[Doherty Garage|Doherty garage]], however the only thing unique about them is their black color. Oddly, the chopper still makes noises while you're towing it, and the agents are scared of Carl. | |||
*An easter egg is visible in the mission - a journey driving up [[Arco del Oeste]] will contain an old man and a trick. | |||
*Regardless of its status before reaching [[Arco del Oeste]], the player's wanted level will be fixed at 2 stars during the blow-up of choppers. | |||
