"Possession with Intent" is the eighth mission of Los Carnales story arc in Saints Row.

"He just got back from a sit-down with Orejuela and they came to an... interesting agreement: If we can get back all the drugs the cops seized, the Colombians are willing to work with us exclusively. We'll have a lock on the whole city."

— Dex to The Protagonist and Troy, at the church.

Description Edit

Dex meets with Troy and The Protagonist at the church and informs them that if they can get the drugs back that the Stilwater Police Department seized in "McManus Says Hello", then Manuel Orejuela and the Colombian Drug Cartel will stop dealing with Los Carnales and deal with the 3rd Street Saints instead.^[1]

After blowing a hole into the evidence room of the police station in the Barrio District,^[2] the 3rd Street Saints successfully steal the drugs and return them to Manuel. Julius Little and Manuel shake hands on their new business agreement, but Angelo Lopez arrives and attempts to gun everyone down with a K6 Krukov for his brother. After he fails to do any significant damage, he flees, but Manuel gives Julius the location of his home: the Lopez Mansion in Ezpata, in the Barrio District.^[3]

Story Edit

The following text has been transcribed verbatim from the game files, and can be read in-game upon completion of the mission. To do this, pause the game at any time during gameplay, go to the 'INFO' tab, and select 'Story'.

Gameplay Edit

To begin with, the player is instructed to drive a Destiny to Samson's garage to fill it with explosives. Once accomplished, they will have to drive it towards the police station in Encanto, in the Barrio District. The time limit to drive to the police station can be fairly strict and players are not allowed to damage their vehicle too much as the explosives will detonate. Therefore, players should drive careful but fast towards their destination, utilizing the handbrake around turns and weaving between cars as efficiently as possible.

The second segment of this mission revolves around simply defending the truck for 3 minutes. The player's police Notoriety will slowly fill up as the player kills more and more hostile law enforcers, so having a Homie here can help. Once the full three minutes have expired, the player will have the FBI after them, and must drive the truck back to Samson's garage.

Instead, a better idea is to set a GPS route on the Map to the nearest Forgive and Forget, which can be found at Charlestown, in the Docks & Warehouses District. Using the $500 cash is a worthy investment to lose all Notoriety, as the FBI vehicles can and will constantly ram into the truck; while the truck can take a lot of damage, it is by no means invincible, and if it is destroyed, the player will need to start the mission again from the very beginning. By using the Forgive and Forget, the rest of the drive back to the Saint's Row District presents absolutely no challenge.

Upon completing what may or may not be a long and challenging mission (depending on the player's skill at driving), the player is rewarded Encanto in the Barrio District - where the police station was located at.

The player can fail the mission by dying, getting busted, destroying the car in the beginning of the mission,^[4] failing to get to the police station on time,^[5] detonating the explosives in the car too early,^[6] abandoning the crew or truck,^[7][8] or destroying the truck.^[9]

Jack Armstrong: I'm Jack Armstrong. An explosion rocked a Stilwater police station today as hoodlums pulled off a daring heist in broad daylight. At least four police officers lost their lives when the side of the building housing the police evidence room was destroyed by a well-placed supply of explosives and a subsequent gun battle. Police estimate that of the booty seized, the crooks got away with drugs and guns with an estimated street value of over three million dollars. Police will only say that they were outnumbered and shocked at the brazen nature of the crime. The latest on this, and other Stilwater stories, at the top and bottom of the hour - news as it happens. I'm Jack Armstrong.

Trivia Edit

• Troy offers a plan that will reduce the body count when raiding the police station.^[1] It is later revealed during the end of the game that Troy is an undercover policeman.^[10]
  • The first wiretap conversation between Troy and Dex in Saints Row 2 reveals that Dex knew all along that Troy was an undercover cop. Among other reasons, Dex mentions "that shit at the police station", referring to this mission. The wiretap conversation must be listened to if the player wants to play the bonus "Revelation" mission.
• The drugs were seized at the end of the mission "McManus Says Hello",^[11] but it is never explicitly said in this mission.
• Samson's line, "Alright man, you ain't got a lot of time, so hurry. One more thing. That shit in your car ain't exactly stable. I wouldn't hit anything if I were you", is also used in the Vice Kings mission, "...To Kingdom Come".
• Manuel Orejuela states that "we'll be in touch",^[3] although he is never seen in the game with the 3rd Street Saints again. He is seen once more in the "Battlefield Promotion" cutscene, providing a lighter for Luz Avalos, who is attempting to light a cigarette at a bar.
