After escaping Los Santos with [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]], Cesar meets with Carl. Cesar finds an available street race with the mysterious [[Wu Zi Mu]]. Carl races Catalina's "new boyfriend" [[Claude]], for the ownership of a garage in San Fierro. Soon after, The Police discover The Truth's weed fields, and Carl flees to San Fierro with The Truth.

Once there, Carl finds that all is wrong. The [[Doherty Garage|garage]] he won from Catalina is derelict, and he discovers the disturbing truth about the [[Loco Syndicate]], the crime organization responsible for the spread of drugs in Los Santos. The syndicate is run by [[Mike Toreno]], a shady person with a surprising background. [[T-Bone Mendez]], a [[San Fierro Rifa]], serves as the muscle of the organization, along with [[Ryder]], CJ's homie from [[Grove Street]], and [[Jizzy B.]], the biggest pimp in town. As he is investigating the Loco Syndicate, Carl also discovers that Wu Zi Mu (Woozie) is actually the head of a [[San Fierro Triads|San Fierro Triad]] gang, the Mountain Cloud Boys, who are in the midst of a war with the [[Da Nang Boys]], a Vietnamese crime organization.
Once there, Carl finds that all is wrong.

The syndicate is run by leader de mysterio [[Mike Toreno|Michael "Mike" Toreno]], a shady person with a surprising background. [[T-Bone Mendez|"T-Bone" Mendez]], a [[San Fierro Rifa]] leader, serves as the muscle of the organization, along with [[Jizzy B.]], the biggest pimp in town, serving as concierge. As he is investigating the Loco Syndicate, Carl also discovers that Woozie is actually the head of a [[San Fierro Triads|San Fierro Triad]] gang, the Mountain Cloud Boys, who are in the midst of a war with the [[Da Nang Boys]], a Vietnamese crime organization.


After many odd jobs and errands for multiple bosses, Carl, Woozie and Cesar decide to take down the Loco Syndicate from the inside. Carl first pays Jizzy a visit, offering Jizzy his services. Jizzy gives Carl some work, during which he meets [[T-Bone Mendez]] and [[Mike Toreno]]. After being sure that Jizzy didn't suspect him, Carl confronted him at the [[The Pleasure Domes Club|Pleasure Domes]] nightclub. A massive shootout was followed by a high-speed car chase, in which Jizzy was killed by Carl. Then, he heads down to [[Pier 69]], and kills T-Bone and Ryder in a massive shootout between [[San Fierro Triads|Triads]], San Fierro Rifa, Ballas, Carl and Cesar. Finally, Woozie informs him that Toreno is getting ready to leave in a helicopter, and Carl shoots him down with a rocket launcher. He then destroys the syndicate's crack lab in [[Doherty]], ending the Loco Syndicate once and for all.

He then destroys the syndicate's crack lab in [[Doherty]], ending the Loco Syndicate once and for all.


Carl then receives a mysterious call from a "friend" who claims knowledge of Sweet's whereabouts, prompting him to head out to the desert, to find none other than Mike Toreno. From there, a new chapter in the San Andreas storyline unfolds.

Simultaneously, Carl and Cesar also succeed in establishing their garage business in a successful vehicular chop-chop, which stores some of its "customer's wishlist" cars in a nearby showroom. For the most part, Kendl and Cesar decide to stay back in San Fierro, attracted to the city's gentle appeal, before joining Carl back in Los Santos after Kendl briefly joins him in Las Venturas.

As with every other city in the GTA world, many landmarks in San Fierro are based on real life:
* The [[:wp:Golden Gate Bridge|Golden Gate Bridge]] makes an appearance as the [[Gant Bridge]]. This bridge links San Fierro and the town of Bayside. The bridge appears to have functioning [[tollbooths]], as evidenced by the fact that cars heading into San Fierro stop at the toll plaza. However, the player is apparently immune to the toll, not having to pay it.  Gant Bridge extends over [[San Fierro Bay]], which is a re-creation of [[wp:San Francisco Bay|San Francisco Bay]], and physically separates San Fierro from [[Bayside]] and [[Tierra Robada]].

* The [[wp:San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge|San Francisco Bay Bridge]] makes an appearance as the [[Garver Bridge]]. This bridge links San Fierro and [[Tierra Robada]] near [[Las Venturas]]. Alongside the Garver Bridge is the [[Kincaid Bridge]], which is modeled after the Forth Rail Bridge, which itself sits beside the Forth Road Bridge outside Edinburgh, Scotland. This may also be a reference to the home of ''Rockstar North'', where the original bridges are located. The Forth Road Bridge and the western span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge look remarkably similar.
