Walkthrough[]
Tommy arrives at K. Rosenberg & Co. and is greeted by Ken who immediately asks what Tommy could find out at Colonel Cortez's party.
Tommy tells Ken that he couldn't find anything out, except that more criminals in Vice City are roaming free than in prison. Tommy tells Ken that they will need a lead from the streets if they want to find out who ruined the deal they took part in.
Ken tells Tommy to wait until he thinks of a person they could talk to.
After a few moments of thinking, Ken comes up with someone from the music industry.
The person Ken is thinking of is Kent Paul.
Ken says that Kent is well connected in the Vice City underworld, and that if anyone would know about a large amount of missing cocaine, it'd be him.
Ken also tells Tommy that Kent always hangs out at the Malibu Club.
After learning of this information, Tommy goes out to find Kent.
Tommy is tasked with going to the Malibu Club and meeting Kent Paul.

In the club, an English man is seen flirting with a woman.
Back at the entrance, Tommy asks one of the club's guards for an Englishman. The guard points out the one flirting with the woman.

As Kent continues flirting, Tommy approaches them.

Tommy asks Kent if he is who Tommy thinks he is and introduces himself as Ken Rosenberg's friend.
Kent struggles remembering who Ken is before remembering that he is a lawyer and calls him an "ambulance chaser".
Kent jokingly suggests that Ken is so terrible at his job that he could make an innocent man receive a death sentence.
Kent asks the bartender to give him and Tommy a drink.
This joke angers Tommy who is not interested in joking and wants to get straight to the point.
Tommy tells Kent that he is in no mood for jokes and that he lost 20 kilos of cocaine and a large amount of money.
Kent tries to fool Tommy into thinking that he does not involve himself in drug activities.
Tommy is not fooled by Kent and shoves him to the ground asking him what he knows.
Kent says that he was just about to tell Tommy about a chef in Ocean Beach.
Kent says that the chef was looking really pleased with himself lately for something and that Tommy should meet him.
Tommy says that he will check him out and tells Kent that he'll come back if he needs more information from the streets.
As Tommy walks off, an embarrassed Kent stands up and tells Tommy that he did good for leaving, before Kent could beat him up, before asking the bartender to give him a drink and asks where the woman he was flirting with went.

After the brawl, Tommy is catching his breath.
A black man wearing a white suit with a purple shirt approaches Tommy and beating the chef to death will not work.
Tommy asks the man if he wants a beating too.
The man tells him to relax, as he wants the same thing as Tommy.
After Tommy asks the man what he wants, the man reveals that he is the brother of the dealer who was selling Tommy and his associates cocaine and was present at it. The man once again criticizes Tommy for killing their lead to finding the men responsible.
Tommy is uninterested in the man's attempts to befriend him and tells him that he didn't mean to kill the chef, before telling the man to leave him alone.
The man tells Tommy that there's no need to reject him now.
The man explains that they're two men in a town they don't know very well and that they should watch help each other.
Tommy tells the man that he doesn't need any help as other chefs emerge from around the corner, possibly looking for their fallen friend.
The man brings this to Tommy's attention and tells him to look behind.
The man throws Tommy a pistol to defend himself with.

Trivia[]
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the Malibu Club cutscene is "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" by The Human League. The song can also be heard on the in-game radio station Wave 103, but is not played inside the Malibu Club during normal gameplay.
- The song "I Melt with You" by Modern English is heard in the background of the cutscene that plays after you kill Leo, this song is not featured on any radio station and cannot be heard at any other point in game. There's a similar occurance in the opening cutscene for the mission Boomshine Saigon, where the song "Burnin' for You" by Blue Öyster Cult is heard despite it not appearing at any other time in the game.
- Even if the player runs over or shoots Teal without briefly confronting him first, Tommy will still express exertion in the following cutscene. The confrontation cutscene will not be played if the player decides to kill Leo.
- If the player fails the mission by destroying the Infernus before Lance gets in, Lance will remain in the area, unlike other instances of the game where storyline characters instantly disappear at mission failures. He will behave like a normal NPC, and if Tommy attacks him he will fight back by shooting him.
- The game will instruct the player to pick up Lance (by name) if he is left behind, even though Lance had not told Tommy his name until the mission Guardian Angels.
