— Cesar Vialpando

Los Desperados is the penultimate mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Grove Street Families leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson from his home in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission[]

Carl drops by Sweet's house in Grove Street and starts to talk about the hood and the rioting going on. After a short argument, Cesar arrives and says that his hood is screwed up and he needs to get his gang back together. Sweet tells CJ he needs to pay his debts to his friends so CJ agrees and they recruit two Grove Street gang members for assistance while meeting up with three Aztecas veterans, Sunny, Hazer and Gal at Unity Station. On the way to the station, Cesar reveals his intentions to propose to Kendl, which CJ approves, and Cesar asks Carl to put in a good word for him with Sweet.

Upon arrival, they all start to attack the waves of Vagos gang members protecting El Corona. After clearing out the houses by the railway, they head deeper into the area through an alleyway. The Vagos manage to injure Hazer shortly before being completely cleared out. The crew head to the serious part of the district and the last wave of Vagos have gang members carrying flamethrowers and Rocket Launchers. CJ and the rest of the team manage to survive the gunfight, with the Aztecas taking over El Corona. Cesar and his fellow homies decide to get Hazer to a hospital and thank CJ for helping out.

Sweet Johnson is talking to someone on phone inside his house when his brother, Carl Johnson enters the house.

Sweet Johnson:

Yeah, so get the place locked down. No one's gonna ruin the hood. You hear me? No one! Alright, See you.

The call was cut while Sweet was speaking.

Carl Johnson:

What´s up?

Sweet:

We almost got the hood under control, man. CJ, this is some serious shit, man.

Carl:

Hey, man, I know, man. I went through a lot of shit for this family since you been gone, so I know...

Sweet:

What? For yourself, not for the family. Don't get shit confused, ni**a.

Carl:

Man, you gonna give me a break?

Sweet:

When you stop acting like you the man. You keep yapping about what you done did, let me tell you what I done did. When Kendl needed shoes, I went out and got the money. When moms needed operation, I robbed people for the bread. While you were of Liberty City thinking of your own shit. For five years, come on, man! Now you do something, you want a fucking parade? Ni**a, please.

Carl:

Now, that ain't fair, man.

Suddenly, Cesar Vialpando enters the house, in the middle of their conversation

Cesar Vialpando:

Carl, man, I need your help.

Carl Johnson:

Man, I am kinda' busy right now. Family shit.

Cesar:

I helped you guys hombre. It's time you helped me and my homies. My hood's screwed up too. We got this shitty neighborhood on lockdown now.

Carl Johnson:

Alright, what you need?

Cesar:

It's time to get my old gang back together, push out those yay slanging punks, eh.

Carl:

I know, but I got a lot going on here in my own hood man. And I made my brother a promise.

Sweet:

All your brother wants you to do is to payback your debts, CJ.

Carl:

Alright, I hear you. I got your back - c'mon, let's roll.

Cesar:

Orale, the Varrios is coming back!

Carl and Cesar leave Sweet's house.

Carl:

So, what's the plan?

Cesar:

Hey, I'll take him.

Cesar:

CJ, you have done more than enough (, holmes). You should get back to Grove.

Carl:

Alright ese, I will see you after all this is settled down.

Trivia[]

This is the only mission to show the conflict between the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas.
Similarly to Grove 4 Life, if CJ has reclaimed the Azteca turf from the Vagos via gang warfare prior to this mission, Grove Street will lose control of the turf and it will be reoccupied by the Vagos for the mission, before being handed back to the Aztecas upon completion.
Although when the mission is completed, the Varrios Los Aztecas will still confront CJ if he enters their territory. If he drives a car through their turf, they will just stand on the sidewalk and won't even chase him. However, if he is on foot, the Aztecas will chase him. One possible explanation to why they still behave like this after the mission is completed is because Rockstar forgot to make them neutral to the player.
"Los desperados" means "the desperados" in Spanish. A "desperado" is a desperate or reckless person, especially a criminal.
