Transcript
Tommy Vercetti, Lance Vance, Avery Carrington and Ken Rosenberg explore the mansion that Tommy took over from Ricardo Diaz.
Ken: Oh, we gotta redecorate this place, we gotta make it look older. I can't stand this look! Tommy, what do you say? What do you say we put a bar in...
Tommy: You're my lawyer, Rosenberg, not my interior decorator, got it? Listen to me, the time to take over this town is now, it's all out there waiting for us!
Lance: We need to start seizing territory, let Vice City know we're the new players in town, know what I'm saying?
Avery: What you need is a legitimate front, Tommy. Real estate. It's never done me no harm.
Lance: We need to start using some muscle, or we can kiss all that hard work goodbye. Local businesses know Diaz is dead, and they're refusing to pay protection!
Ken: Ooh! We could try bribery...
Tommy: Bribery? Screw bribery! I'll show you how to make 'em scared! I'll be back here in five minutes...
Tommy leaves the mansion and heads to the North Point Mall in Vice Point. Upon arriving at the mall, Tommy shoots at the shops' windows to scare them into paying protection money, gaining increasing police attention along the way.

Trivia[]

  • This mission features a unique weather state. The weather is cloudy but with more clouds than usual, giving the city a darker appearance.
  • In the 10th Anniversary Edition and Definitive Edition versions of the game, the requirements of this mission have changed. The player is only required to smash ten windows, and the wanted level is capped at two stars rather than progressively rising to five.
    • If multiple windows are destroyed in a single explosion, the game will not count those towards the ten required. If too many are destroyed this way, the mission can't be completed and the original five star wanted level will be attained.
