00:01The year was 1992. The American West Coast was not only hot, but also a powder keg.
00:08Racism, police brutality, and a crack epidemic that swept the streets like a plague were slowly gnawing away at the city from within.
00:15Carl Johnson had escaped that hell five years ago and sought refuge in the relatively quiet streets of Liberty City.
00:21But sometimes the past knocks on your door with the ringing of a telephone.
00:25Abis Sweet's raspy, angry voice shattered Carl's world.
00:31Our mother died, Carl, they shot her.
00:35The moment Carl landed at Los Santos Airport, he felt the weight of the air.
00:40But summer wasn't the only thing waiting for him.
00:43The true face of the city, badge-wearing criminals, was revealed by the nursery unit.
00:49Frank Tempeni, Eddie Plaski and Jimmy Hernandez.
00:52Carl was stopped at the airport before he even got home.
00:57They confiscated his money and framed him for a police killing he didn't commit.
01:02Every word Tempeni whispered in CJ's ear,
01:05This city is no longer just a place for gangs,
01:08It was proof that it was a playground for a corrupt system.
01:11Carl, to enemy territory Jefferson,
01:15She understood when she was thrown into Ballas's arms.
01:17This wouldn't be just a funeral visit.
01:20It was a fight for survival.
01:23CJ, to that dead-end street where he spent his childhood,
01:26The sight that greeted him upon arriving in Genton was even more devastating than the loss of his mother.
01:31Grove Street Families, that structure he calls a family,
01:35It had reached the breaking point due to drugs and internal conflicts.
01:39Abis Sweet doesn't treat Carl like a brother,
01:42He greeted him like a traitor.
01:44In her opinion, Carl was a coward who ran away when his family needed him most.
01:50During this time, we met Big Smoke and Ryder.
01:53Smoke hides behind philosophies and number two food orders,
01:58It was a gigantic shadow.
02:00Ryder, on the other hand, is wracked with a Napoleon complex.
02:03It was a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
02:06Carl started repainting the neighborhood green with their help.
02:10Their first task was to clear the neighborhood of drug dealers.
02:15However, he noticed something strange during this process.
02:18Big Smoke was too quiet, too distant, regarding the drug trafficking in the neighborhood.
02:24CJ tries to increase his power in the neighborhood,
02:28OG Locke had to help a friend who dreamed of becoming a rapper but lacked talent.
02:33Locke stole the rhythm notebook of famous rapper Matt Dogg to support his career.
02:38He killed his manager.
02:39These seemingly minor thefts will later save Carl's life.
02:44They were the first links in a great chain.
02:47At that moment, Carl was only pulling the trigger for the sake of the neighborhood.
02:51But unknowingly, he was also manipulating the city's entertainment industry.
02:55And that dark day arrived.
02:57Carl met Cesar, his sister Kendall's boyfriend, in a parking lot.
03:02Cesar said there was a truth he and Carl needed to see.
03:06A garage door creaked open, and out came that famous green Sabre.
03:12The car in which his mother was murdered.
03:15Carl's world collapsed when the shadows beside the car became clearer.
03:20Big Smoke and Ryder were at the same table as Tempeni.
03:24The men they called brothers were bargaining with the ballas over their mother's blood.
03:32At the same time, his older brother Sivit was ambushed at the Mulholland junction.
03:38By the time Carl arrived, bullets were flying through the air.
03:43Sivit was seriously injured; the police had raided the place.
03:46Smoke and Ryder had already escaped.
03:50Tempeni packed Carl up and dumped him miles away from the city, in the desolate mountains of Angel Pyle.
03:57Rose Street fell that day.
03:59The family fell apart.
04:01Sivit went to jail.
04:03For Carl, there was no longer a home.
04:06CJ was like a penniless refugee on the dusty roads of the Badlands.
04:10Here, Cesar met his cousin, Catalina.
04:15Catalina was the most dangerous and unstable woman to ever enter Carl's life.
04:19Together they robbed town banks and markets.
04:23These scenes showed that Carl had transformed from just a gangster into an outlaw capable of committing all sorts of crimes.
04:31That toxic relationship with Catalina took a toll on Carl, both physically and mentally.
04:36But he filled his pockets.
04:38She also met a grounded hippie named Truss.
04:42Truss was talking to Carl about government compasses and how big a lie the system was.
04:49For Carl, this was a new perspective.
04:53He had begun to see not just a neighborhood war, but a global decay.
04:59When Carl escaped from Catalina and arrived in San Fierro, all he had was a deed.
05:05This is a garage. But it had loyal friends like Cesar and Truss by its side.
05:11Here, Carl adopted the vision of a businessman.
05:15He found the best mechanics in the city. He established a network.
05:18However, there was also an organization called Loco Sindicate in San Fierro.
05:23Cizi B, T-Bone Mendes, and a mysterious man.
05:27Mike Toreno.
05:29Carl infiltrated this organization.
05:31He dismantled their drug trade from within.
05:35He killed Cizi.
05:36He executed T-Bone on the bridge.
05:38And most importantly, he settled the score with Ryder here.
05:42Ryder, the man he once called brother, died in San Fierro.
05:47Carl's list of those to be revenged was slowly getting shorter, but the real snake was still out there.
05:54Mike Toreno, whom he thought he had killed.
05:56He wasn't actually dead.
05:58Toreno is not a drug trafficker.
06:01He was an agent working for the darkest branches of the state.
06:05He imprisoned Carl in a desert and gave him only one condition.
06:09If you want your brother Sivit to stay alive in prison and one day be free, you will work for me.
06:17Carl received flight training in the desert and became a spy.
06:22He infiltrated the R-69 and stole Black Project.
06:25He jumped from moving planes.
06:28Carl was no longer a gangster, but a ghost operative cleaning up the government's dirtiest jobs.
06:35During these assignments, Carl's character became increasingly hardened.
06:39It was now a war machine that controlled all kinds of technology and weapons.
06:45When Toreno's work was finished, Carl moved on to the dazzling world of Las Venturas.
06:50Here, he formed a casino partnership with Wuzi Mui.
06:55Caligulas played a cat-and-mouse game with the Italian mafia to rob the casino.
07:01Ken Rosenberg, whom we know from Weistie, appears here as a lawyer who needs Carl's help.
07:07Carl turned the mafia against each other.
07:10He pulled off the big heist and became one of the most powerful figures in Las Venturas.
07:17But amidst all those millions of dollars, his mind was still in Los Santos, in that dusty neighborhood.
07:25CJ faced Tempene and Pulaski one last time in the middle of the desert.
07:31Although Tempene managed to escape, it was the end of the road for Eddie Pulaski.
07:36When Carl chased and cornered Pulaski, Pulaski was still insulting Carl's family.
07:43Carl's final blow not only brought down Pulaski, but also all the humiliations of the past.
07:48Only two names remained.
07:51Big Smoke and Frank Tempene.
07:55Toreno kept his word and Sweet was released.
07:59Carl gave his brother a lavish welcome.
08:02But Sweet had only one problem.
08:04Returning to Grove Street.
08:07When they returned to the city, Los Santos was a war zone.
08:11Tempene's acquittal in court had sparked public outrage, leading to street protests.
08:15Carl and Sweet fought street by street, block by block, and reclaimed Grove Street.
08:22Now it was time for the finale.
08:24Big Smoke's drug stronghold.
08:27When Carl reached the top floor of that castle, he encountered not just a traitor.
08:32A scene of wreckage, a victim of one's own ambitions.
08:36When Smoke died, there was sadness, not triumph, in Carl's eyes.
08:41But the real monster was out there.
08:43That epic fire truck chase with Tempene.
08:48It's tangible, right in the middle of Grove Street.
08:52When Tempene's car plunged off the bridge, Carl stood beside it.
08:57The monster perished in the chaos it created.
09:05When the dust settled, Carl Johnson found himself standing in the same dead-end alley where he had started.
09:11His family was with him.
09:13His older brother was free.
09:15The betrayal had been eradicated.
09:17But this journey had taken a heavy toll on Carl.
09:21He had built an empire, but he knew he could never bring back the old days of the neighborhood.
09:29Carl turned around and walked away.
09:31As the sun set over Los Santos, history wrote the story of a man's downfall and his rebirth from the ashes.
09:40The streets always hold the real story.
09:43And that story is told by the last bullet fired.
