Events of GTA San Andreas
Carl Johnson's arrival in Las Venturas is met with a very tantalizing opportunity. After meeting up with his friend, Wu Zi Mu, at his new headquarters in the Four Dragons Casino, Carl learns that Caligula's Palace, a casino just up The Strip, is being acquired by the Leone Family in a hostile take-over. Carl's new associate in Las Venturas, the bent lawyer Ken Rosenberg, provides him the opportunity to befriend Salvatore Leone and infiltrate the casino's operations. Part of the developing plan to rob the casino's vaults is to temporarily disrupt the city's power supply in order to provide the cover of darkness and confusion to the would-be thieves. In order to do this, Carl sets off to Sherman Dam, which provides hydroelectric power to the city of Las Venturas, in order to plant remotely detonated explosives on the dam's generators. He pilots a Nevada from Verdant Meadows to the dam, parachutes onto the quay, and sneaks inside the dam's facilities unnoticed. After planting the explosives, Carl is trapped on top of one of the dam's intake towers, and is forced to plummet into Sherman Reservoir to evade the pursuing authorities.
