Last update: 11 May 2016
Mission rewards:
- Gang Member: Mario "Two-Gun" Tucci
- Gang Member: Luigi "Fixit" Tucci
- Gang Member: Joey "Princess" Tucci
Your new district has the "King Liquor" warehouse - your job will be to buy it and get the alcohol. To do it, you're going to need clean money ($$), which you can earn by running a legitimate alcohol business - by selling it as medicine in a Pharmacy. Rent a Joint and establish the business. Next, secure alcohol supply - use Jobs to buy Liquor; it will be automatically delivered to the Pharmacy and sold for $$. From now on it's enough to restock your warehouses and wait until you've collected $$1000. In the meantime, you can upgrade the Pharmacy to increase its effectiveness.
Sadly, it will soon turn out that a guy named Joey had bought the warehouse before you could get the required sum. You're going to have to talk to him face to face, but for that you need to find out where he's at. All leads point to a garage run by his brother - Mario. Let your informants earn some cash, find the garage and go for a walk. To soften the owner, give him two Beers, which you can easily buy through Jobs.
You'll find out that Joey may be found in another part of the city, with a third Tucci brother - Luigi. Use your informants to unlock the junkyard, and go for a little visit there. As it happens, Joey had gotten a loan which he cannot pay, and it will be up to you to see if he can be freed and the warehouse's title deed retrieved.
Use an informant again (this time you're going to have to threaten him with a gun) - you'll learn that the young Tucci is currently held at a Loan Shark. There are several ways to free him: by threatening the owner (you need 40 Feared rating), causing a fight (Heat will go up), or paying $$1000 of his debt. The choice is yours; remember, though, that you've recently collected the required sum, so there's nothing stopping you from using it now. In return, the Tucci brothers will join you and you will receive the deed to the warehouse.
Next objective - to recover whisky seized by the police. The easiest way to do that is to bless it, given that alcohol used in rituals is legal. However, you'll need help from a local rabbi. To win him over, upgrade your Hideout to level 2, then rent premises and establish a Soup Kitchen. The rabbi will be happy to bless the alcohol, making you a happy owner of 400 casks of Whisky. Time to start making some real money!
Sadly, your plans will be thwarted by an old friend - Louie Castaneda. He demands to share the profit at $$5000. Once again, you're going to have to expand your little empire and start making money. Make sure to secure a steady flow of dirty money right from the beginning - you can do it the quickest by setting up a Brewery and selling Beer - both through a Speakeasy or Jobs In the meantime, you should establish a second Pharmacy to increase your income. Now you have a couple of options - you can either wait a little until the beverages are sold and you gather the $$5000, or you can speed the whole process up by laundering dirty money through city officials or Jobs. Meanwhile, you're also going to have to defend your warehouse against attacks from the competition. If you don't want any problems, use the Tuccis (i.e. by hiring Luigi instead of Doc). After you've collected $$5000, the mission will successfully end, and you can move over to the next district.
