King in Exile

C.J. goes to the trailer at the CV icon to see Kendl and Cesar. Cesar wants to kill some Los Santos drug dealers. Cesar tells C.J. that the drug dealers who've infested the Grove Street neighborhood are Tenpenny, Pulaski, and Big Smoke. C.J. can't believe that about Big Smoke, but Cesar says Big Smoke sends a car to San Fierro twice a week to get cocaine. C.J. says he'll watch the highway to San Fierro for it. Catalina calls and angrily insists that C.J. has to help her rob places. A pink "C" icon appears in Fern Ridge.
C.J. gets another save house: Fern Ridge C4 free
At the dot just NE of the "O" of "RED COUNTY" (Red County).

Body Harvest

Tenpenny, using a bong and President Clinton-like inhales to get stoned on herb, introduces C.J. to The Truth. The Truth is a marijuana farmer and dealer of various kinds of street drugs. Tenpenny tells C.J. to pay The Truth for marijuana to deliver ("555 WE TIP"), then he leaves. C.J. won't do the drugs The Truth offers him. The Truth needs to know he can trust C.J., so he tells C.J. to steal a Combine Harvester from the survivalists at The Farm for him before C.J. can pay him and get the job. The Truth says "Amaste" as a farewell. 

First Date / Tanker Commander

Send C.J. to the "?" icon at the diner in Dillimore to meet Cesar's cousin. (I'd stop at the TV studio to get some Sniper Rifle ammo on the way.) Cesar's cousin is Catalina from "GTA III," a very abusive nutcake that likes armed robbery, murder, and being the S of S and M, yet C.J. has important concerns that preclude introducing her to Denise. Poor C.J.--this is Cesar's help C.J. has to rely on? She gives him four locations she wants to rob. He (and we) can pick the order.
C.J. gets Respect.

Four "$" icons appear.

Badlands

C.J. has to kill, and get photographic evidence he's killed, the person that could inform on Tenpenny's group. We're shown how to use a Camera: press the RMB to use the view finder, zoom with X and Z or the Scroll Wheel, and shoot the picture with the LMB.
The BradyGames guide has a good tip about killing the guy from a good distance from the cabin so he doesn't leaves it and turn this into a chase. Rusk found a good vantage point NW of the cabin; since C.J. approaches from the S, keep him out of view along the W side of the plateau until you can see the target with a red glow--one of those inverted cones over the target's head, I guess--just inside a cabin door. After you have C.J. snipe the target's body (if C.J. shoots the target's head, he won't be able to be identified), have C.J. snipe the four FBI men who run, practically single file, at C.J.. Then have C.J. photograph the target.
Cesar calls. He knows Sweet is in jail and assures C.J. that Kendl's safe. Cesar says he's sending the C.J. help of Cesar's cousin, and wants C.J. to meet the cousin in the diner in Dillimore.
Sweet calls from the prison hospital. C.J. says he has to make sure Kendl's okay 1st, but he's going to help Sweet get out of jail.

The Green Sabre


Sweet is proud of C.J. and wants him to join the GSF gang in hitting the Ballas under the Mulholland Intersection. But Cesar persuades C.J. to meet him 1st. Have C.J. get there fast then transfer to Cesar's car. Cesar, going on tips he knew would be important to C.J., has C.J. watch in secret with him as two Ballas, Big Smoke and Ryder, Pulaski driving the green Sabre used for the drive-by that killed C.J.'s Mom, and Tenpenny come out of a building. C.J. thanks Cesar, and realizes that Sweet is going to an ambush. He has Cesar put Kendl in safe place. Have C.J. get back to his car and speed to Sweet--in the lot under the Mulholland Intersection--where he finds a shoot out going on, and that Sweet has been shot. C.J. tells him about Big Smoke's duplicity, etc. Sweet wants C.J. to leave before the police arrive, but C.J. wants to fight off the Ballas until they do.
