“Now, there's a ruined town out west of here. Aldea Malvada. And there's some piece of shit DEA officer meeting with an FBI agent with a dossier. Now you get the dossier and you make both of them disappear!”
Carl visits C.R.A.S.H. at a house in Prickle Pine, Las Venturas and finds Tenpenny and Pulaski getting a grill ready and waiting for Hernandez to return with meat for the grill. Things start out normal, but a paranoid Tenpenny reveals that their careers are in jeopardy and Tenpenny needs Carl to get a dossier containing dirt on the duo and kill some DEA and FBI agents. Pulaski is concerned that Hernandez is taking longer than he should. This prompts Carl to snidely remark that he and Tenpenny are getting "edgy'. Tenpenny looses his patience with Carl and punches him. He orders Carl to leave and get the dossier.
Carl heads to Aldea Malvada and intercepts the meeting, killing the enemies and claiming the dossier. If the carrier is not killed immediately, he will enter a helicopter and fly to Las Venturas, with Carl giving chase. The dossier carrier will then get into a Buffalo and lead Carl to the Las Venturas Bank underground car park in Roca Escalante, where there are more FBI agents ready to attack Carl.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
Kill the target and grab the evidence dossier
The target is dead and has dropped the evidence dossier, grab it before anyone else does
Reward
Like all missions for Tenpenny, there is no reward. Though the mission High Noon is unlocked if the mission Freefall is also completed.
Post-Mission Phone Call
Note: This call only happens if Freefall is completed first.
Frank Tenpenny: Carl! You get that dossier?
Carl Johnson: Yeah, I got the files. What you want me to do with 'em?
Frank Tenpenny: We need to meet up someplace quiet and take care of things. There's a ghost town, Las Brujas in the devil's Castle, you know it?
Carl Johnson: Yeah, I'll find it.
Frank Tenpenny: I know you will. I'll see you there. Carl.
(sarcastically) Yeah, I was starting to miss you, guys.
Tenpenny:
Now, why don't I believe you? Get over here!
CJ walks closer to Tenpenny and Pulaski.
Tenpenny:
Now things have developed since the last time we met. Despite our best efforts, the gig's nearly up.
CJ:
I'm sure you'll find some way to keep your badge, your kind always do.
Tenpenny:
You still don't get, do you, Carl? This ain't about keeping some fucking badge!
Pulaski:
Hey, listen to the man.
Tenpenny:
We're all the same, Carl - you, me. We're all trying to pull ourselves out of the hole. Somebody steps on me, I gotta step on you.
Pulaski:
Where's Hernandez with that fucking meat? He's been gone too long, Tenpenny.
CJ:
(laughs) Getting a little edgy, fellas?
Tenpenny punches CJ in the stomach.
Tenpenny:
How'd you like that, you piece of shit? That give you any idea how edgy I am?
Pulaski fires up the grill with a huge fireball.
Pulaski:
Woah! What the fuck?
Tenpenny:
Get up, bitch!
CJ gets up.
Tenpenny:
You paying attention? Now, there's a ruined town out west of here, Aldea Malvada. And there's some piece of shit DEA officer meeting with an FBI agent with a dossier. Now you get the dossier and you make both of them disappear.
CJ walks off and heads to Aldea Malvada, where the target is guarded by DEA and FBI agents. He kills the targets and gets the dossier.
If the player plays the mission on the Android version, the grill can be seen jumping on the right side of the screen. The grill can be hidden on the left side of the CRT (if the player plays the mission on PS2/Xbox).
Eddie remarks that Hernandez is taking too long to bring back the meat for the barbecue. He was possibly talking with Internal Affairs at the time.
The FBI agents carry AK47s and Micro-SMGs. However, if the player kills the target before he gets into the helicopter, the agents will revert to using Micro-SMGs.
It is crucial to pick up the dossier before anyone else, because unlike most other missions, other FBI agents will pick up the dossier and escape with it should the original carrier be killed, but for Carl, once he obtains the dossier, the mission instantly passes no matter what.
If the target manages to get in a helicopter and fly away towards Las Venturas, they will fly over past Area 69 where the S.A.M. sites are disabled during this mission, but the player will still receive a five-star wanted level as normal if they trespass. This can be seen here.
