7/11/2025 The Last Supper

Lang woke up in Stab City and drove to Cypress in his dune buggy. He gets a call from Saab asking for a pick-up from prison and mentions he wants to talk to Lang about something bad that happened yesterday during the mayoral candidate event. Together they head to the suspicious trailer next to Speedy's old ranch that they found Wednesday. Saab said that someone from the Faceless showed up and started taking pictures of each candidate. Edgar started panicking and yelling at everyone to leave. Edgar called Saab to ask him to come to the docks to talk, Edgar seemed worried about what happened. Saab found out that the Faceless guy who took pictures was named Charlie. Lang states that "if Edgar dies, he dies. It is what it is."
Saab also told Lang about what happened during the fentanyl event yesterday. They apparently got into a shootout with Hydra because the fentanyl car was in Mirror park. After the shootout, Jonah exclaimed he was done with fentanyl and he wants nothing to do with it anymore. Lang calls Jonah "a useless f-ck."

In the car ride back Lang tells Saab that he is worried about the south dons explaining the whole new idea to south Cypress. Clark calls Saab to talk about today and they decide to meet face to face instead. On the way there Lang tells Saab that they still need to talk to Fiona and that he expects she is going to get very upset about the fact that she spent close to 2 months building the warehouse interior, for them to leave it all behind. Lang tells Saab that if Fiona decides to shoot Lang, Saab is not allowed to retaliate. Saab is very surprised by that.
Saab tells Lang that the mayor of the north, Princess Elena, was sent to jail yesterday, meaning she lost her case. Lang is shocked to hear this and wants to contact her.
Clark joins Saab and Lang and tells them he is nervous about today. Clark is ready to leave Cypress but he is afraid it's gonna f-ck some people up. Their cards are going to be shown very soon. Lang explains that some people might not make it and that they have little hope for Jonah and Dante. And that some people are automatically invited, like Sofia, Skipper, CJ and Fiona. Clark asks why they are presenting it today. Lang replies that Harry said "f-ck it, we should do it on Friday before I leave".
Clark is leaving to pick up Luciano from prison and they decide to meet back up at Stab city.

The four guys meet in the middle of Stab city. Luciano was expecting Harry to be by his side but he isn't awake today. They shortly discuss maybe combining the north and south meetings but Lang insists on wanting to do it separately so it's more intimate.
Lang then asks who is not going to make it. Luciano thinks the people who aren't part of the core group of Cypress will maybe fall. Lang mentions how this vision isn't a gang. It's a civilization. You can't bring everyone along and build Cypress 2. Lang realizes it's an ambitious idea and that they could quickly fail, or the government might shut them down and they end up in jail with treason, or they risk warring with existing gangs in Stab city.
Lang is driving the point across to Luciano and Clark that they're failing together now. United as north and south and to not blame him specifically. They can leave right now if they so choose to. Luciano and Clark both state that they're fully in. Clark has a lot of questions still unanswered. He's wondering about leadership and hierarchy. Lang answers that they don't know yet but maybe a democratic approach might be interesting. Lang says that it's important to be transparent about not knowing answers. Luciano mentions that people might have trouble with that part. Lang emphasizes not to spread information to the rest of the city as to not alarm people and also to tell Cypress members to leave everything behind. No money, no cars, no Snr. Buns food. Everybody gets a new phone and number.
They all wish each other luck and they part their ways.

Lang and Saab arrive back at the warehouse. The north gathers in the dining room inside the warehouse. Lang starts asking everyone what they have accomplished this week. Skipper answered that he decided he wanted to be a creator. He has been learning to weld and wants to make a flamethrower. Lang asks Jonah. He replies: "dogsh-t". Dante is working more on his travelling merchant idea. He is also learning how to grow weed. CJ worked the food stalls and is working on her pilots license. Then Lang starts talking about how in his absence nothing was done and people were waiting for him to come back. He notes that all the yelling, pettiness, the pleading for ambition has taught nobody anything. He then goes into the reason for this meeting. He tells everyone that Cypress is no more. Everybody gets a way out that does not involve death. He notes that after his return he has been keeping watch of those around him and how little people cared about continuing the legacy. Lang is no longer putting in the effort into building the place back up and admits he has failed because his methods and attempts have failed previously.
Lang opens the room for questions. Skipper is upset, questioning if it was all for nothing. Jonah doesn't know what's going on. Dante seems sad. He gave Cypress everything. Now there is no more family. Dante stands up and gets ready to leave. Lang wishes him luck on his ventures. Dante says people can always contact him and leaves the room.
CJ asks about the south, Lang replies that they're pretty much done too. Dante enters the room with a backpack on his back. Saab orders him to sit back down. They all take a small break to process their feelings and get some air.
Lang calls Luciano. He realizes Luciano has been giving a lot of information to the south and he urges Luciano not to go too deep with them. Meanwhile Lang has not yet said anything about the new vision to north Cypress. They agree to meet up after.

With everyone back in the dining room, Lang reiterates that everyone is free to leave, to view this as a second chance at life. He also adds that he has some plans for the future but nothing has been set in stone yet. He wishes everyone a great day.
People slowly leave the dining room. Sofia pulls Lang aside asking what to do with the warehouse. Lang comes clean and tells Sofia that Luciano gave the whole spiel to the south and that he went too deep but it is what it is. Sofia is asking why he is not telling the north. Lang explains he wants to do it 1 on 1. He thinks people feel safe thinking they will be brought along for whatever is next, he wants them to feel the weight of what is happening.

Luciano calls Lang and they agree to meet up really quick before doing 1 on 1s with people.
Clark, Saab, Luciano and Lang meet up. Lang said that the different approaches do not matter and it makes sense for each because while the south thrived, the north failed and so they needed to feel the weight of that. Lang mentions that since Luciano will be gone and Lang isn't around on weekends, that it's okay to hang around in Cypress and wait until things are set in motion, possibly on Monday. He asks the south for a list of "citizens" who will actually be proactive and can thus skip the application process. He is also asking for cash from the south to be able to purchase properties up north and reiterates that they need to leave everything behind. Meanwhile Lang receives a text from Skipper calling Lang a lying fuck and demanding to know what it going on. Lang deduced that they already heard from the south what the plans are. Lang says he might need to kill Skipper now.
Saab and Lang head to Stab City and on the way discuss entitlement and comfortability within north Cypress. Lang understands emotions are at play. He calls Sofia to ask where everyone's head is at. Sofia explains that Skipper went down to the south to ask what they are going to do now.

That is when he heard that the south was told a completely different story. Skipper then told CJ about it.
Lang calls Skipper asking where he got the audacity from to text Lang like that. Skipper responds thinking they could be honest with each other. Skipper said that Cuddles gave him the information about the new Cypress. Lang confirms there is never going to be a new Cypress and that Luciano miscommunicated that. Skipper apologizes for texting Lang like that. Lang calls Luciano telling him to get a handle on the miscommunications. Saab calls Skipper asking him to get down to Stab city to talk to him.
Lang starts explaining to Skipper how when he was in the desert, Shai Hulud showed him a vision. Lang realized that there is no point in putting in effort into something that is only going to disappear when he is gone. He wants to make sure that whatever happens, there is going to be a legacy. Lang takes off his eye bandage and reveals his red eye. Skipper is shocked. Lang begins to explain his vision for a new society. How it's going to be greater than Los Santos, how it's going to be self-sufficient. The story of Babylon. Skipper seems intrigued. Lang continues explaining the application process. Everyone will be able to apply. You have to give up everything you have. You need to be able to provide a service. Skipper asks when he can apply. Lang gives him the good news that he is being considered to be fast tracked. He will hear on Monday. Lang confirms that they can not speak to anybody about it. He states that they are a community moving into a trailer park up north, that's all people need to know. He repeats that this is no gang, this is a society. Skipper leaves.
Saab calls CJ to meet up. CJ explains she is very confused about what's happening. She's hearing things from the south about new opportunities and an application system and moving to Stab city. Lang then goes over the same story that he gave Skipper. He reiterates that Cypress is truly dead and that this new society will not be anywhere near a gang. People come here and are able to be whatever they want to be. CJ is surprised and says this is totally unexpected but is appreciative of the explanation. Lang is telling her to take the weekend to think about the idea and to think about what she can provide for the society.

Lang calls Edgar and tells him that he went ahead and abolished Cypress because he could not wait for July 21st. Edgar is shocked. Lang goes over a few things to make sure he and Edgar are on the same page. First, not everyone can make it through the application. Second, make sure the approach to the public is quiet so that the marshals don't come knocking come Monday. Edgar asks how many people from Cypress are for sure coming. Lang guesses 3 from the north and 5 from the south for sure.

Saab and Lang conclude they should probably meet with Sofia. They meet up at the old casino. Lang explains to Sofia that the south had a different vibe and approach which is fine. He tells her Jonah and Dante can apply next week. He also tells her what needs to be done over the weekend and over the coming week. Lang tells Sofia that she is fast tracked and that she is going to play a big role in figuring stuff out.
Lang drives his buggy to Roosters basement where he changes into his dark Talon robe and admires the Talon artifacts before going to sleep.
