CJ is at the airport.

CJ
(voice-over)
After five years on the East
Coast, it was time to go home.

(On screen) Los Santos International Airport.

A previous phone call is heard.

Phone rings.

CJ
'Sup?

SWEET
Carl, it's Sweet.

CJ
Whassup, Sweet, what you want?

SWEET
It's Moms... She's dead bro.

CJ gets into a taxi.

Police pull over the taxi. Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez get
out.

TENPENNY
(into megaphone)
Passenger. Show us your hands.
Stop. Get down on your knees. Now
down on your stomach. There you
go.

Hernandez cuffs CJ and takes his money

TENPENNY
I'll take that Hernandez.

CJ
Hey, that's my paper man. That's
money.

TENPENNY
This is drug money.

CJ
My money, man...

PULASKI
Hey don't worry about it, I'll
fill it out later.

TENPENNY
Welcome home, Carl. Glad to be
back? You haven't forgotten about
us, have you boy?

CJ
Hell no, Officer Tenpenny. I was
just wondering what took y'all so
long.

TENPENNY
Get in the car.

CJ
Ease up, man. Damn.

TENPENNY
Watch your head.

Tenpenny bangs CJ's head on the car as he's putting him in.

TENPENNY
Oh! My bad.

PULASKI
(to taxi driver)
Get outta here, you grease-ball
bastard!
(To himself)
Stupid Mexican...
(To Hernandez)
Oh, hey, sorry.

CJ
My bag. Hey, man, my bag!

View on police car driving.

TENPENNY
How you been, Carl? How's your
wonderful family?

CJ
I'm here to bury my Moms. You know
that.

TENPENNY
Yeah, I guess I do. So what else
you got shakin' Carl?

CJ
Nothing. I live in Liberty City
now. I'm clean. Legit.

TENPENNY
No, you ain't never been clean,
Carl.

PULASKI
Well what've we got here?

TENPENNY
This is a weapon, Officer Pulaski,
that was used to gun down a police
officer not ten minutes ago.
Officer Pendelbury. A fine man, I
might add. You work fast, ♥♥♥♥♥.

CJ
You know I just got off the plane!

PULASKI
It's a good thing we found you and
retrieved the murder weapon.

CJ
That ain't my gun.

TENPENNY
Don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me, Carl

PULASKI
Yeah, don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ him, Carl.

CJ
What the ♥♥♥♥ you want from me
this time?

TENPENNY
When we want you, we'll find you.
In the meantime, try not to gun
down any more officers of the law.

CJ
You can't leave me here - it's
BALLAS country.

TENPENNY
I thought you said you was
innocent, Carl? That you don't
bang?

PULASKI
(into his radio)
This is car 58... WHAT?!

TENPENNY
See you around like a doughnut,
Carl...

PULASKI
Officer Pendelbury's down? We'll
be right over.

CJ
Ah ♥♥♥♥, here we go again. Worst
place in the world. Rollin Heights
Balla Country. I ain't represented
Grove Street in five years, but
the Ballas won't give a ♥♥♥♥.

He hears voices from when he was younger.

KENDL
Stop it! What are you doing? Carl,
