At Caligula's, Rosie, heavily stoned, is unable to compose himself following [[Johnny Sindacco]]'s near death [[Intensive Care|earlier]].

Carl and Ken make their way to [[Whitewood Estates]], where the abattoir is housed at. When they arrive at the abattoir, Carl tries to stay behind, knowing that if Johnny recognizes him, there will be trouble. However, Ken begs Carl to come with him, his confidence faltering. Unfortunately, Johnny suffers another heart attack when Carl steps out of the shadows during the meeting and dies. The Sindaccos realize that Johnny had a heart-attack due to [[Fender Ketchup|a previous encounter]] with Carl, so they launch an attack on the two. Carl and Ken fight their way out of the abattoir, making sure there are no witnesses left alive before driving back to Caligula's Palace. During the trip back, Ken realizes how screwed he would be after this. Carl promises him that he would think of something to get him out of the trouble.
Unfortunately, the meeting only results in Johnny's sudden death from a heart failure upon glancing at Carl once more (which presumably triggered another traumatizing flashback of [[Fender Ketchup|his previous encounter with Carl]]). With their boss slumped on the ground, members under the command of the now deceased Johnny turn hostile at both Carl and Rosie. Both men must fight their way out of the abattoir and return to Caligula's.

In order to complete the mission the player must:
Walk into the yellow marker to enter the [[Sindacco Abattoir|abattoir]]. A cutscene begins, and Carl doesn't want to go any further for the obvious fact that Johnny will recognize him as the guy who put him in this poor condition (Carl did this in the mission [[Fender Ketchup]]). Rosie insists that Carl come along. Johnny comes out of his office in a wheelchair and greets Ken, but as soon as he see's Carl, he clutches his heart and falls to the ground. The Sindacco's launch a full attack. One mobster throws a [[Molotov Cocktail|molotov cocktail]], which creates a fiery barrier between two areas of the abattoir. Another mobster carrying a [[Chainsaw|chainsaw]] walks towards CJ.

Kill the mobster, and any other attackers while Ken looks for a [[Fire Extinguisher|fire extinguisher]]. Rosie's health bar appears on-screen.

Rosie will run into the freezer after extinguishing the fire. If the mobsters are close enough to the freezer, one of them will try to run toward the switch to close the freezer door, locking Rosie in, including you if you entered it. You can reopen the door if you are outside it. If you are locked inside you will fail the mission.

Carl and Ken make their way to Whitewood Estates, where the abattoir is housed at. When they arrive at the abattoir, Carl tries to stay behind, knowing that if Johnny recognizes him, there will be trouble. However, Ken begs Carl to come with him, his confidence faltering. Unfortunately, Johnny suffers another heart attack when Carl steps out of the shadows during the meeting and dies. The Sindaccos realize that Johnny had a heart-attack due to a previous encounter with Carl, so they launch an attack on the two. Carl and Ken fight their way out of the abattoir, making sure there are no witnesses left alive before driving back to Caligula's Palace.
