Overview
Spilling the Beans is the first Print Works mission in GTA Vice City. After buying the Print Works, Tommy Vercetti bonds with its manager Earnest Kelly, whose own small-time counterfeiting reminds Tommy of his father's print shop. To print money properly they need high-quality plates, and the only lead is a counterfeiting syndicate operating in the state.
It is the first step in turning the Print Works into the game's most important late-game business.
Walkthrough
- Talk to Earnest at the Print Works.
- Drive to the Malibu Club and squeeze Kent Paul for information. He says the boss of a shipping company in Viceport knows about the syndicate.
- Go to the docks in Viceport and fight your way onto the ship guarded by hired security.
- Reach the boss and interrogate him: the plates are coming in by courier.
- Return to the Print Works.
Tips
- Bring armor and a rifle; the ship has guards on several levels.
- Clear the dock before going up the gangway, so you are not shot from behind.
- Pick up any health along the way before the final room.
- Take cover behind cargo containers on the dock.
