Hey, guys! We have noticed one slight mistake in our video and would like to point it out right away. Throughout the video, there are some instances where we have used the alleged character model of Ralph Pendelbury which many players are associated with. However, we want to emphasize that it's not really Pendelbury's model, but in fact, it is how Eddie Pulaski was going to look in the beta version of the game. This can be determined, among others, thanks to the name of the model itself which is "csplas1" where 'cs' stand for "cutscene" and 'plas' for "pulaski" since his final model is called "csplas".
Have a nice day!
Hello there,I would like to put a myth for you, IDK if this is that known or not,but in both GTA VC,and GTA VCS,you can easily rob stores,in GTA VC,just pull out a gun,the shopkeeper will give you stacks of money,after that, he'll call the cops,and there will be an alarm,in GTA VCS on the other hand,when you go inside a shop,you have to damage property in the shop, after some damage,the shopkeeper will be scared,and give you the cash,I don't remember if this gives you a wanted level.
I hope you see this, and have a great day, peace ✌️.
I guess it is possible in both games but I haven't played both the games from a while so maybe it is false.
(I'm not sure about the wanted level)
To be honest, these were the most corrupt and cocky policy officers I have ever seen in a open world game. Gta san Andreas was gold.
Hell yeah, these guys are one of their kind when it comes to being highly corrupted cops. And hey, the game is still gold 😄
@Lil Curt yeah
You should watch The Shield. It’s based on the same LAPD scandal as the CRASH unit in San Andreas
@@benjamincox4211 👌
After finishing the game, I always thought that was Tenpenny an unlikely hero? For the good of Los Santos I mean.
Hernandez was obviously bullied in the trio,it looked like he was scared of being out of line,Pulaski was racist and clearly enjoyed making fun of Mexicans and blacks,But was afraid of tenpenny,all in all im pretty sure Hernandez was supposed to have a bigger role in the story but it was scrapped as he became a background character.
Yeah, Hernandez really stood out. Speaking of his role in the game, it's kinda hard to determine whether he was supposed to be more influential in the storyline, but sure, it's possible.
Yeah, Pulaski is always a yes man towards Tenpenny, he's a simp, but he doesn't realize that Tenpenny also sees him as a tool to be used, just like how he sees CJ and Hernandez.
@@ro-86alkonost78 Tenpenny was the senior officer among them, so why wouldn't Pulaski be afraid of him? Tenpenny is probably the one who first introduced Pulaski to the corrupt life.
And so the truth about 10 penny is that hes a crime mafia apparently and he became a cop to hide who he really is. also he kinda fears the russian mafia.
@@AbasSalah-dn9ij Pretty sure tenpenny and the whole C.R.A.S.H story was majorly inspired by the corrupt cop from the 90's Raphael Perez and his story. I recommend watching a video about it the similarities are interesting.
The introduction was very important but I didn't know it existed until I finished the game a few times.
Same. I've played this game since i was elementary school i think? And know about the existence of "the introduction" when i was in my senior highschool days lol
@@milanger17 Yes!It's the only 3d era gta that I bothered enough to finish without using cheats.
Don't worry, a lot of people are in the same situation 😂
R.I.P. Pendelbury and Hernandez...
I had hope when Hernandez stood up in the desert cutscene but his death is so stupid ..it makes the plot more interesting tho !
Great video!
Oh yeah, the cutscene of Hernandez's death is a bit hilarious 😂 Thanks for the constant support, man!
Jimmy Hernandez had to make his hands dirty though he's dead and his plan failed
but he did the right thing by saving CJ whether it was directly or indirectly is debatable that alone had made it inevitable that either Frank or Carl, one of them had to die he gave Carl the chance and he sure didn't waste it and his death wasn't in vain
I'd like to think that he tried to help CJ on purpose because at that point, he's probably aware that Pulaski is going to kill both of them since he woke up after being beaten to unconsciousness by Tenpenny so if CJ dies, then he (Hernandez) will also die. Besides, CJ is still a better person than Pulaski and Tenpenny since he has more morals than them, he even tried to convince Pulaski to believe that Tenpenny is just using all of them which is true.
@RO-86 Alkonost we'd all like that to happen but let's face it Hernandez can't get along with CJ because the former has to arrest him and the latter is a gangster
it's Hernandez's job to make people like cj getting lesser and lessser
even if he have high morals for a gangster and would only abuse Ballas members CJ is still a criminal
is he really dead ?
he didn't even get shot in a lethal body part and it is never mentioned that he would have died after that
@@Hardcord6
even if the shot never killed him he might die out of blood lose and he is the middle of nowhere
@@Hardcord6 He is dead.
Ralph Pendelbury should be the main protagonist of San Andreas Stories.
I used to hate Hernandez, but after putting some thought into it Officer Hernandez was really a good person
Pendulbery had the most brutal death in Gta San Andreas, they gouged his eyes out before killing him.
Tell that to those I ran over in body harvest
What about the guy CJ buried alive by pouring concrete over him?
What about farm people from the truth first mission?
@@Likexnerclose second, having ur eyes gouged out is really brutal
@@THUNDERZVOICE It is brutal but Pendelbury got shot right after that, didnt he? The eye gouging wasnt even what killed him.
The guy CJ buried in concrete probably died a much slower death, getting half crushed and half suffocated.
CJ, Cesar, Hernandez, and PendelBury were all heroes!
And Toreno but he's not the hero you would aspire to be like.
Yeah Toreno counts too
Don’t forget sweet
Sweet's soul was crushed in 1987 and was still, as Kendl rightly said, "a no-good narrow-minded hypocrite gangbanger" and ""racist" fuck" in 1992. Kendl, Cesar, Woozie, Truth, and Zero have more influence over CJ than Sweet ever had, has as of 1992, or will ever have again.
None of them are heroes lmao
Too bad that Pendelbury and Hernandez are gone, without them, the rookie police will meddle in CJ's gang fights when they patrol around.
In this game, the police should be banned from meddling into CJ's gang fights.
:D
Man I wish we can have a proper ground-up graphical remake of San Andreas one day
They already did, it's called the Definitive Edition.
@@Vengeance10164 And it's terrible.
@@ralphlorenzperolino3054 It's a blessing in disguise for us old school gamers 😁.
@@Vengeance10164 that aint ground up. that's just high definition porting. ground up is like the new resident evil or final fantasy remakes. Literally rebuilt the game using the same plot. Had to redesign everything except the map and plot. Mafia series also had an amazing rebuild ground up
I think Pendlebury is based on real cop who arrested Raul Perez (Rampart division of CRASH unit)
Interesting theory! Except that Pendelbury has died, contrary to the cop who arrested Rafael Perez 😁
@gaminginvestigators I have a theory that Jimmy Hernandez gave information to Cesar Vialpando about the encounter between Big Smoke and Frank Tenpenny in The Green Sabre mission.
Imagine if Hernandez had been assigned as Ralph’s Partner instead of joining up with Tenpenny. Maybe they both would have survived and destroyed the police corruption. Hernandez was a good guy who was forced into a bad life.
My head canon about the cops who wanted to expose Tenpenny and Pulaski had some self interests behind the scenes. Perhaps maybe Tenpenny was working for the head of the crash unit that operates all throughout the urban areas of San Andreas. Like he knew his boss was dirty and decided to branch out his own criminal kickback and maybe hope to rise up in the ladder and using the crack epidemic is a means of controlling his own branch of racketeering as well as give the kickback to the boss and his boss backing Tenpenny is why Tenpenny never got scolded. Even throughout the events of gta San Andreas, he’s like untouchable. Even using CJ to rid of witnesses and evidence of his dirty work. Even after the riots near the end and Tenpenny was killed, Tenpenny himself opened up the corruption of the crash unit and created a scandal and trial after a year since the end of gta San Andreas. And this caused the boss of the crash unit to kill himself or got arrested and tried.
The "FBI" had some crucial proves that would guarantee Tenpenny a very long time in jail
That's a really cool headcanon you got there! We are not sure about Tenpenny's boss though, it feels like he was on the top of the CRASH ladder 😃 As for the rest of the possible backstories, it's pretty much near impossible to determine whether someone was keeping Tenpenny's back. Well, CJ kinda did by getting rid of those nosey people and the evidence against the CRASH unit 🤔
Yeah these 2 cops will be the true heroes for protecting Los Santos, Too bad to see them gone!😥
Yeah... But at least were they trying to expose those corrupt cops, and one of them (Hernandez) made it 🙂
In high noon Jimmy tries to save CJ from Pulaski but idk
hernandez was def not a hero. He did terrible crimes out of peer pressure.
@@gaminginvestigators Heroes don’t die for nothing!
Hero is a bit of a loose term in this regard, though they were very impactful of the story line for GTA:SA. Officer Pendelbury was simply doing his job, poorly at that as mentioned, since he did not expose the unit, but instead either threatened to reveal what CRASH was up to, or through sloppy work, let them realize he was investigating and gathering evidence on them. It is also possible that he was trying to 1-up the corruption on Tenpenny, perhaps trying to get some financial kick-back from his growing enterprise that he learned of. As for Officer Hernandez, he was a classic green rookie cop, likely joining the police force wanting to do good, but too naive when faced with the harsh realities that society itself was not just bad on the surface, but from within too. He simply got in over his head, folded to the pressure in murdering Pendelbury, and allowed himself to be subject to Tenpenny's corruption.
Either way, neither of the acts are really heroic, despite that they did end up being killed on the job. To be heroic, Pendelbury should have simply exposed CRASH for what it was when he had the chance, not hesitating to feed information to someone at Internal Affairs, even if it was incomplete, this way his sudden disappearance would be noticed too, leaving others able to resume his investigation, rather than the evidence all dying with him. Hernandez might be more heroic if he had used the gun he had to shoot Tenpenny, and possibly Polaski if he had the chance instead of Pendelbury, but instead he went the safe route and followed instruction from his clearly corrupt leadership.
When we were talking about them being heroes, we were actually referring to their bravery 😅 Like, it takes guts to try and screw those corrupt police officers. Even though their way of doing was a bit clumsy, they were trying to expose Tenpenny and Pulaski after all. And for sure, killing them would be the easy way, but it's not always that easy in reality. A good example would be that CJ could kill Tenpenny and Pulaski tens of times: during the Snail Trail, Misappropriation, etc. Still, he didn't do that 😃
@@gaminginvestigators that is true. There is a fine line between bravdo and stupidity, and they demonstrated that well. When faced with harsh situations, people are unpredictable, though a hero usually is someone whose efforts actually impacted the resolution. In that, Hernandez saved CJ in a way against Pulaski, which is heroic in its own right, taking a risk for someone else's well-being.
@@michaelrigoletti2410you do realize Hernandez had no choice in offing Pendelburry right? It was either cap Pendelburry or get capped himself. Let's not forget Hernandez was giving the FBI info on Tenpenney and Pulaski throughout the story as well.
As for Pendelburry himself, he died doing the right thing, even it was unsuccessful. He wasn't corrupt in the slightest.
Another reason Toreno is one my favorite characters in the entire GTA universe. Always straight with Carl despite his missions.
I'm so glad that Introduction was never on the version of the game I played because it allows for more questions to be raised during the playthorough and it hits so much harder after you finished the game.
The first time I see Hernandez. I thought he was mute like Claude until he talked to CJ on the phone and in the introduction when joining C.R.A.S.H. (which kinda reminds me of Alias from Red Faction II.) until understanding that Tenpenny was threatening him and always stay quiet.
One theory I’ve heard is that Cesar found out about the green Sabre from Hernandez. I take it Hernandez grew up in an Aztecas or Vagos neighborhood and knew Cesar. Given that he was a cop with legitimate good intentions it’s possible he either stayed away from gang life or was once a member of the Aztecas or Vagos and realized he wasn’t cut out to be a gangster.
I've wondered what would've happened if Pendelberry met CJ. could make a good ally..
prob be the sme as mike toreno.
Fun Fact: All C.R.A.S.H Member are killed 😂
I love these Lore theories
Appreciate your efforts
That's music to our ears. Thanks!
Tenpenny, Pulaski, and Hernandez: **all at the bottom of a deep hole**
Hernandez: “How are we gonna get outta here?”
Pulaski: “We’ll DIG our way out!”
**digging and grunting noises heard**
Tenpenny: “No, no! Dig UP, stupid!”
6:32 hold up, why did the car get slightly bigger
The greatest mystery that needs solving was how bad was Carl smelling when he got back to San Andreas. Tenpenny says, "You ain't never been clean, Carl." Knowing this...they still put Carl in their squad car? Hernandez got close enough to search his pockets and backed away very quick...On top of that, pedestrians throughout all 3 worlds insult Carl on a personal hygiene level, going so far as to quote "You got a dead rat down your shirt?" and "Did someone die in yo' mouth?", but he gets close to Kendal at the cemetery, hugs her, and she doesn't say anything?! Originally, Carl was able to wash cars at car washes but those were deactivated, but not allowed to take showers? There's a "Spook-o-Meter" in the game, but no "Stink-o-Meter"? This requires further investigating...
Interesting episode
Thank you!
Hernandez is really a true hero. He sacrificed his life to save CJ. He died a hero's death.
Hernandez just wanted to save himself
So he is not a real hero
I mean, he decided to tell Internal Affairs about what happens in the corrupt CRASH unit, so we feel like it is a bit heroic 😅
@@gaminginvestigators hernandez was in las vanturas after this he was go to los santos in 1991 and join the crash with pulaski and tennpeny
He literally save CJ from dying,he took the gunshot that was supposed to be for CJ
TenPenny forgot CJ had no motive to kill PendelBury!
motive isn't required when it's a dead cop or public figure of that sort. plus they can always lie and just say they did it to look tough or they're insane
motive is always required plus it's common knowledge cops, politicians, et cetera make Pinocchio look honest
@@miguelpasamano8840 the motive can also be explained as simple insanity and a random act of violence whihmch is actually very common
@@jason200912 only by a liar can such a nonexistent "motive" be "explained" plus the persecutor - I mean prosecutor - always has the impossible burden of proof plus all a good defense has to do is character assassinate not only the persecutor - I mean prosecutor - but also TenPenny, Pulaski, and Hernandez which, given the well-deserved bad reputation of the LSPD, shouldn't be hard to do plus CJ's fingerprints were never on the gun plus TenPenny's, Pulaski's, and Hernandez' fingerprints are on the gun so following through on their bogus "threats" would be "legal" suicide.
@@miguelpasamano8840 the motive is the lowest priority concern of the jury. They decide if someone has enough evidence showing whether they did the crime or not. The only purpose to waste hours and days on motives explanation is if there is overwhelming evidencence and the defense is doing a hail Mary on trying to lighten the sentence by explaining motive
The cop in thumbnail is not pendelbury he is beta cop named carver pendelbury is blonde version of hernandez look close his in introduction part you can see that very clear
Sure thing, we have already written some explanation behind this mistake in the attached comment 🙂
Why does Pendelbury look like Doc Rivers?!?! Lmaooo
white version of doc rivers
LOL
As always with a GTA game there are more holes in the story than in a swiss cheese,I mean Pendelbury either threatened or got sloppy and got himself killed for nothing,he isnt mentioned much at all despite setting the crash part of the storyline in motion,Hernendez just felt off,like he was meant to do more but the final product is very lame,I mean he did save CJ but the way he did was like a forced death scenario,it doesnt help that every cop or agent we meet in GTA overall are corupt.
I would definitely recommend The Professional's lore videos and Let's Plays. He often fills in the supposed plot holes with events from the game and other entries that are connected to the game he's talking about, as well as provide some context to the character dialogue.
@@dtxspeaks268 no he defends the plotholes way too much
@@jason200912 well he is a GTA expert and a creative writer. So I'd say his analyses are very valid. Not my problem you cant think critically like him
@@dtxspeaks268 not critical if he always defends plotholes and lazy writing
@@jason200912 actually no. He explains theories and plots. Dont be mad because you arent a genius like him or the R* writers
They was on some training day shit
I love this kind of video ! it really deepens our understanding of certain characters and by extent makes us appreciate the games story even more ! thanks for the cool vid guys hope your channel keeps growing more and more !!!
I thought Ralph Pendelbury was called Ralph Pulaski,every cutscene and piece of dialog in correlation to him was calling him that
Hernandez joinin CRASH reminds of the plot to training day only Hernandez was unsuccessful in bringing CRASH down.
I felt bad for hernandez
You planned that ad at the perfect time 🤣🤣
So it looks like the voice currently used in the video is now the only one the channel will use. Can you provide some insight to those of us who were here since the beginning and were accustom to the original voice?
I wanna really know. Is Hernandez dead or just falled?
He's dead because he was shot by Pulaski in High Noon
@@MarcPare2006he got shot in stomach tho I don't think he get killed easily
@@Redemption-XM4 he really is shot in the heart
@@MarcPare2006 look like he got shot in shoulder
4:35 the greater good
The InTroDuction makes "Liberty City Stories" impossible! CJ went right by Luigi's Sex Club during his last run for Joey in 1992! Paulie's Revue Bar was never there!
True the only heroes of the gta universe.
If you think about it as a San Andreas civilian tempeny wasn't that bad...yes he was corrupt and yes he made profit out of it but he did had a plan behind this,he was manipulating and playing players and if his plan worked without problems the criminals in san andreas would be combined into one single criminal organisation with big smoke as a leader puppet which from one side it would be more organised but on the other side it would be easier to be controlled by tempeny on not spilling innocent blood on drug wars!In reality police cant get rid of crime of the streets but it can control it into areas or people
imagine CJ, break in Area 51 with a long Blood streak through the State, still led him self blackmailed.
You never fail to entertain me 😊
Idc what no one says Tenpenny and Pulaski were funny af 😂
nice
I hope that there is a GTA game where the protagonist at the game of the game is a police officer at the start of the game and is about to get promotion after arresting a high-ranking member of the most powerful gang in the city frame of the murder of his wife by his best friend who is also a police officer who is on the city most powerful gang's pay roll witch the game protagonist has no idea until the end of the game.While in a police convoy the convoy is ambushes in the city poorer/run-down neighborhood by the city's most powerful gang who rescue There gang member the game protagonist free himselves while the convoy is ambushed and leave only to run into some Gang members of the neighbourhood and has to run for his life from some members of a biker gang from outside the city but he is save by neighbourhood gang who are the smallest, least powerful, and least influential gang in the city. The game protagonist repay this gang by helping them become the most powerful,influential and biggest Gang in the city but after doing some jobs for his best friend who the protagonist still has no idea that his friend have been working for the most powerful gang in the city but someone urging the protagonist to meet him they see the protagonist best friend meeting members of the most powerful gang in the city. The protagonist has to run away from the city for some time before returning to the city to help the Gang that he is a member of to take on most the powerful gang in the city and take out his ex best friend.
So basically San Andreas but CJ is a cop. Hmm, that might work.
Damn man just play LA Noire
A new member of C.R.A.S.H. and a Mexican immigrant, who Tenpenny and Pulaski love pushing around like a slave. He joined C.R.A.S.H. to eradicate gang crime, however, he was forced by Tenpenny to silence Ralph Pendelbury, an Internal Affairs officer of the LSPD who uncovered Tenpenny and Pulaski's corruption within the department. He mostly serves as their henchman in the background handling every menial task that Tenpenny and Pulaski don't want to deal with themselves. Interestingly his character is very similar to this movie character.
Expy: Of Jake Hoyt from Training Day. Both are laughed at by their new mentor upon first meeting after describing a past event on the job, both hesitate to participate in corrupt actions but are coerced into doing so, and both have the initials "J.H.".Compared to Tenpenny and Pulaski, he's practically a saint. Hell, he might as well the only honest cop in the entire GTA franchise.
For the grove
im the 7th comment great video
Thanks, bro!
maybe the superiors were corrupt too
Tennpenny had cj kill people
Who could have testified or had dirt on tennpenny and crash .
Bruh gangs do not have ppl do crimes as initiation so they can tell the cops about it if they get outa line lol
Early
hubson to się wkłada do dupy
Ralph Pendleberry was a good cop as well as Jimmy Hernandez, but unfortunately, for Officer Hernandez, he fell into the wrong group.
He was emasculated, bullied, guilt tripped and manipulated into being complicate in their corruption.
In that one mission in Las Venturas (forgot the name), the real reason Hernandez was gone long was because he told on C.R.A.S.H.
Jimmy was an honest and good cop who didn't deserve his fate.
If im not wrong the ps2 version comes with the introduction cutscene
