Pier 69 is the mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas where protagonist Carl Johnson kills two of the game's secondary antagonists, T-Bone Mendez and Ryder.

The Mission

Brief

Now that you have killed Jizzy B, you have to take out the other two heads of the Loco Syndicate, Mike Toreno and T-Bone Mendez. In addition, T-Bone and Toreno will be attending a meeting with the Ballas in Pier 69 and your former Grove Street Families homie-turned-enemy Ryder will be there, so you can take revenge on him too.

Walkthrough

When CJ arrives at Pier 69, Cesar Vialpando will be waiting on the roof of a building across the pier. When arrivng, Cesar will hand CJ a sniper rifle. Shoot down all of Mendez's guards to allow the Mountain Cloud Boys to take their place. Eventually, T-Bone Mendez and Ryder will arrive with their escorts to the deal, but, in an unexpected turn, Mike Toreno arrives in his black Maverick helicopter and sees the guards' bodies on the roofs, so he flees. Toreno's flight alerts Mendez and Ryder and a huge gun battle erupts between the Ballas, the San Fierro Rifa and the Mountain Cloud Boys.

You will then enter and fight Mendez's goons while defending both Cesar and the Mountain Cloud Boys. Eventually, all the Ballas and Rifa men will be dead. After you kill the Ballas and Rifa, you then have to kill T-Bone Mendez. When shooting him enough a cutscene will appear showing both CJ and Ceaser shoot T-Bone, who's corpse then falls into the water.

Ryder then tries to make a getaway, he jumps off the Pier and starts swimming towards a Speeder boat, you must kill him by either swimming towards the boats and giving chase doing a drive-by or use a gun and kill him from the pier, either way works. The mission is passed but Toreno is still on the run.

Glitches

  • If you beach Ryder's boat, he will keep operating it in vain until you board it.
  • Whereas Ryder knew how to swim when he swam to the boat, if you board Ryder's boat in transit, when he falls in the water, he'll drown.

Script

(Building, Cesar Vialpando and Carl Johnson.)

Cesar Vialpando: Hey holmes, I'm up here, go round the back!

(Carl gets up on the roof around the back of the building.)

Carl Johnson: Hey man.

Cesar Vialpando: Nice job getting the phone message. What's up with Jizzy?

Carl Johnson: Dead. So, what's the plan?

Cesar Vialpando: T-Bone's security got here real early. They've got men on the roof watching over the pier.

(Cesar's phone rings, he answers and starts talking to a Mountain Cloud Boy.)

Cesar Vialpando: Yeah. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah I see you.

(Cesar hangs up.)

Cesar Vialpando: That was Woozie's boys, they're in place. Look, down by the side entrance.

(Woozie's Boys head up towards the roof.)

Carl Johnson: Shit! They're headed towards the roof.

Cesar Vialpando: SHIT! Mira, we're gonna have to take out T-Bone's men on the rooftop before this gig blows wide open!

(CJ kills all the Guards with the sniper rifle.)

Carl Johnson: Man, my busting was tight!

(T-Bone and Ryder arrive with their respective gang.)

Cesar Vialpando: Here comes T-Bone.

Carl Johnson: And there's that snake Ryder. Look at that fool, hangin' out with the Ballas like they was life long pals.

(T-Bone meets with Ryder in the Pier.)

Carl Johnson: Sometin' ain't right, where's Toreno?

(A chopper approaches the Pier.)

Cesar Vialpando: Chopper inbound!

Carl Johnson: That's gotta be Toreno!

(The chopper prepares to land.)

Carl Johnson: Oh shit! He'll see the bodies on the roof!

(Toreno sees the bodies and flees in his helicopter before landing.)

Cesar Vialpando: Too late, man! He's already tripping out.

(The Rifa throw smoke grnades around the pier.)

Carl Johnson: Smoke grenades! So much for a surprise. C'mon, we gotta take these fools out right now!

(Cesar and Carl join the gunfight and help exterminate all the Ballas and Rifa present.)

(Ryder runs towards the edge of the Pier.)

Ryder: C...Can't stop me...

(Ryder gives CJ the one-fingered salute, then turns, leaping off the pier and starts swimming towards some speedboats.)

Carl Johnson: Don't worry about it, I got this.

(CJ kills Ryder.)

Trivia

  • Originally, it was going to be Ryder who gets killed on the pier, and T-Bone who swims to the boat. The game contains unused audio files that prove this.
