Brian, still licking wounds from Raja's race thrashing, cruised LA when an unmarked cop car flashed its lights, pulling him over. Two "officers" slapped on cuffs, shoving him into the back. "You're nicked, pretty boy!" one growled.
Brian, sweating, was driven to a swanky mansion—Elizabeth Taylor's old pad, bought by Eddie Fisher in the '50s, now an LAPD/FBI task force hideout. Inside, the cuffs came off, revealing the arrest was a fake to dodge prying eyes.
Sergeant Tanner and Special Agent Bilkins greeted him, unimpressed. "You're an undercover cop, O'Conner—where's the dirt on Toretto?"
Brian shrugged, "Nothing solid yet. Need more time."
Bilkins snapped, "Time's running out, kid."
Meanwhile, Johnny Tran's crew, tails between legs, dropped 150 grand and taking the shaky fight video at Toretto's cafe, cursing Raja's blackmail hustle.
Next day, Brian rolled up to Dom's shop with a totaled Toyota Supra on a tow truck—a rusted heap that had the crew cackling.
"What's this, a scrapyard special?" Vince snorted.
Dom, peering under the hood, grinned, "Parts are gold—let's rebuild it."
Using Raja's Tran cash, Dom, Brian, and the team dove in, restoring the Supra for Race Wars, a massive legal street racing event.
Raja, smirking, told Brian, "You owe me for fixing your junker. I hope you won couple of races in Race Wars make the cash better flow, Goldilocks."
Nearby, Raja and Jesse modded Brian's old Eclipse—now Raja's—tweaking it into a beast, making Brian twitch with jealousy. "That's my car!" he whined.
Raja winked, "Chaos Rider says it's mine."
Before Race Wars, Dom pulled Brian to his house, leading him to a garage where a pristine 1970 Dodge Charger R/T gleamed.
"My dad's car," Dom said, voice heavy. "He raced, taught me everything. That car's our bond."
He shared how his father died in a race, clipped by rival Kenny Linder at 120 mph, crashing and exploding. Rage took over—Dom later beat Linder with a wrench, banning him from tracks and ending Linder's driving days.
Brian nodded, seeing Dom's pain.
That night, Dom, Vince, and Brian sneaked into Tran's garage to scope Race Wars engines. Brian spotted stacks of electronics—suspiciously looks like stolen Goods.
As they snooped, Johnny and psycho cousin Lance stormed in, yelling at the garage owner, "Where's our custom engines?" They roughed him up, learned the engines were in a warehouse, and split with the goods.
Brian, back at the task force, reported Tran's Asian gang as likely truck hijackers hitting rigs with precision.
Sgt. Tanner called with news: another hijacking.
Bilkins, fed up, targeted Tran's crew as prime suspects.
Brian reluctantly agreed, "Tran's got the motive and gear But we don't have solid evidence."
Next day, LAPD and FBI raided Tran's operation, cuffing Johnny, Lance, and their goons. But the electronics? All legal, receipts clean.
Bilkins, fuming, pivoted: "Toretto's crew—they're the real hijackers."
Brian, torn, stayed quiet, suspicion gnawing.
With the raid a bust, Brian and Dom test-drove the reborn Supra, a sleek orange beast.
They spotted a Ferrari F355 Spyder on the Pacific Coast Highway and raced it, the Supra smoking the snooty driver.
At lunch, Brian probed, "Dom, where's all this cash coming from?"
Dom deflected, "Race Wars, man. Directions: desert, follow the neon. We'll talk later."
Brian frowned but dropped it. At Race Wars, a sprawling desert car fest, Dom's crew was in full swing.
Jesse, hyped, challenged Johnny Tran to a pink slip race, his Jetta against Tran's S2000. Bad move—Jesse popped nitrous too early, thinking he'd won, but Tran surged past, snagging the Jetta. Panicked, Jesse floored it, fleeing the event.
Tran, smug, confronted Dom, "Fetch your boy's car, Toretto."
Raja strolled up, vibe icy, "You'll get the Jetta, Johnny, but act up, and I'll school you in respect—again."
Tran, bristling, accused Dom and Raja of snitching to the cops.
Dom, done with the lip, lunged, pummeling Tran until security yanked him off.
Raja clapped, "Nice form, boss!"
That night, Brian saw Dom and Mia arguing outside her trailer.
When Dom stormed off, Brian cornered Mia, voice low, "I'm a cop, Mia. Dom's crew's in deep—help me keep them safe." Mia's eyes widened, but she nodded, trust shaky.
Brian and Mia peeled out in the Supra, chasing Dom's crew.
Brian called a police operator, tracing Dom's phone to Thermal, California. Dom's team—Vince, Letty, Leon—hit a hidden stash site, prepping a truck hijacking with their tricked-out Honda Civics. On a two-lane highway, the heist kicked off.
Vince leapt onto the truck, but the driver, armed with a shotgun, opened fire—BOOM! Vince dodged, but his grappling wire snagged, trapping him. Letty and Dom swerved to save him, but the trucker blasted their cars, disabling them.
MAYA: "Master, it's a mess—time to shine."
Enter Raja, roaring in on Vayu Putra, Hanuman flag flapping like a war banner.
He lobbed a smoke bomb into the truck's cab—POOF!—blinding the driver, who coughed and missed his shots.
Raja, going full Batman, flung a ninja star, slicing Vince's wire clean. As Vince fell, Raja caught him mid-air like a ragdoll, yanking him into Vayu Putra and speeding off.
Brian and Mia screeched up, jaws dropping at Raja's insane rescue. "Is he human?!" Mia gasped.
Leon scooped up Letty and Dom, regrouping as the trucker fled.
Vince, bleeding bad, groaned.
Brian fumbled for his phone, "I'm calling a medivac!"
Raja snatched it, eyes piercing, "No cops, Agent Brian."
Dom's head snapped up, fury blazing. "Cop?!" he roared.
Brian flinched, cover blown.
Raja, casually bandaging Vince like a pro surgeon—prescribing meds from memory—shrugged, "Busted, Goldilocks."
The crew, fuming, loaded Vince into a car, Raja's first aid keeping him stable as they peeled out, leaving Brian in the dust of his own deception.
