The three feuding families of the [[Grove Street Families]] have come together to due to Carl's efforts and Sweet decides to finally get back at the [[Ballas]]. Sweet also makes good with Carl and calls him his running dog. He then orders everyone to get heated, and meet him under the [[Mulholland Intersection]].

Sweet also makes good with Carl and calls him his running dog. He then orders everyone to get heated, and meet him under the [[Mulholland Intersection]].


Carl, however, is side-tracked on the way by a call from [[Cesar Vialpando|Cesar]], who has some important news for him. At first, Carl explains he is too busy to meet but Cesar is insistent, so Carl heads to the meeting place under the freeway north of [[Verdant Bluffs]] to meet Cesar, who is inside a [[Bravura]] with tinted windows. Cesar and Carl look ahead, as some [[Ballas]] exit a garage, followed by high-ranking Grove Street Families members [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]] and [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], and finally corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officer [[Frank Tenpenny]], whose partner, [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]] then reverses [[The Green Sabre (car)|a car]] out of the garage, which is revealed to be the green [[Sabre]] that was used in the drive-by in [[Grove Street]] which killed [[Beverly Johnson|Carl's mother Beverly]] hardly some time [[The Introduction|before]]. However, although he does not see Ryder, Carl does sight Smoke, and concludes that he has betrayed the Families to the Ballas.
Before he can catch up with the Grove Street gangsters and Sweet, however, Carl is sidetracked on the way by a call from Mexican-American [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] gang leader [[Cesar Vialpando]], his sister [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]]'s boyfriend and newfound acquaintance, who has some important news for him. At first, Carl explains he is too busy to meet but Cesar is insistent, so Carl heads to the meeting place under the freeway north of [[Verdant Bluffs]] to meet Cesar, who is inside a [[Bravura]] with tinted windows. Cesar and Carl look ahead, as some [[Ballas]] exit a garage, followed by high-ranking Grove Street Families members [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]] and [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], and finally corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officer [[Frank Tenpenny]], whose partner, [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]] then reverses [[The Green Sabre (car)|a car]] out of the garage, which is revealed to be the green [[Sabre]] that was used in the drive-by in [[Grove Street]] which killed [[Beverly Johnson|Carl's mother Beverly]] hardly some time [[The Introduction|before]]. However, although he does not see Ryder, Carl does sight Smoke, and concludes that he has betrayed the Families to the Ballas.


Suddenly, Carl remembers the shootout at the Mulholland Intersection which Sweet was partaking in, and realizes that Sweet and the rest of the Grove Street Families were lured into a set-up meant to kill the unfortunate leader himself. Remembering his professionalism, however, he first orders Cesar to escort [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] to safety in case hell breaks loose, and then races over to the underside of the Mulholland Intersection before Sweet and the homies are killed. Upon arriving, Carl sees a deadly shootout taking place, and that Sweet has taken a hit. Out of loyalty, Carl stays with his brother to hold off the Ballas hordes. Numerous Ballas members come and shoot at Carl and the rest of the gang. Carl wipes them all out until the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|police]] arrives and Carl, along with a grievously injured Sweet, surrenders.

* Although Cesar says that he discovered the whereabouts of the meeting through a "rumour", it is possible that, according to a fan-made mission, Hernandez actually takes to inform Cesar of a secret cover-up meeting between Tenpenny, Pulaski, Smoke, Ryder and a swarm of Ballas riding the Green Sabre trying to hide the car in the Verdant Bluffs garage, immediately [[Reuniting the Families|after the events of a deadly shootout between the Families and the Police]], implying that the mission expectedly occurs immediately, without loss of game time, after the preceding mission.

However, while it [[High Noon|ultimately leads to his death at the hands of the duo, when Carl kills Pulaski]], his many interactions with Internal Affairs [[Interdiction #Trivia|eventually make it to the knowledge of undercover government agent Michael "Mike" Toreno, who ironically becomes the instrument of Sweet's freedom]] [[Home Coming|after a long stint in prison]].
