BERLIN, GERMANY
Dom busts through a wall with the team following behind him as explosions go off all around the base they are in.
"You were only supposed to create a diversion, Roman," Letty says over the comms as they see most of the base on fire.
"That was a diversion!" Roman argues with her.
"How many of the explosives did you use?" Brian asks him worriedly as there is another explosion.
"I don't know, Brian," Roman answers him as they drive past a big fire. "All of it?"
"Wait, all of it?" Tej asks him as if he was crazy.
"Roman, Jesus Christ," Hobbs says as he shakes his head.
"We got more of your fan club ahead," Letty says as she sees several vehicles heading towards them. Dom and Dixie make a quick turn with the team and the other vehicles following them.
"They're still on us!" Tej says as he sees the vehicles.
"These guys are taking this personal," Roman says as they start shooting at him.
"Roman, we just blew up their facility and stole their EMP," Hobbs explains to him while shaking his head. "Other than your doctor's cold finger, I'd say it's about as personal as it can get."
"He's got a point," Brian tells him as he smiles.
"Phase two," Dom orders as he glances over at Dixie, who nods.
"Phase two?" Roman asks since he wasn't filled in about phase two. "So you just gonna keep that to yourself? What happened to Phase one? What about that part?"
"Yeah. Remember the airplane?" Tej reminds him as he rolls his eyes.
"Everyone drove their cars out but you?" Brian adds while shaking his head.
"I told y'all, my engine seized up," Roman says quickly to defend himself.
"It's your balls that seized up," Letty states with a chuckle, causing Dixie to smile despite the current situation.
"Just follow my lead, okay?" Tej tells Roman as he prepares for what is to come. "And, Roman, whatever you do, don't think."
"Huh?" Roman says as he looks at the comms system in confusion.
"Tej, drop it," Dixie orders, causing Tej to smile.
"Bombs away," Tej says happily before he presses a button.
"Split now," Dom orders as a wrecking ball drops towards them.
"Holy shit!" Roman yells as it swings by him before it takes out most of the vehicles that are following them. "Great plan, Tej," Roman says as he sees the few vehicles still following them. "But just so you know, you missed some."
"Oh, just wait for it," Tej tells him before the wrecking ball starts swinging back towards them, taking out the remaining vehicles.
"Oh, shit!" Roman yells as the wrecking ball takes off his side mirror before he sees the smiley face painted on the wrecking ball. "I hate you Tej."
"Got your ass," Tej says as he and Ramsey laugh. Brian pulls up beside Dixie as he looks over at her, causing her to force a smile on her face.
"You good?" Brian asks her concerned, seeing past the forced smile.
"I will be when this is all over with," Dixie answers him with a nod, causing Brian to to frown as she speeds ahead to catch up to Dom. Brian couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen, but little did he know it already had and was going to get much worse.
"All right, great job, team," Hobbs says as they leave the base. "Let's break off and meet me at the safe house." Brian, Letty, Tej, and Roman turn right while Hobbs, Dixie, and Dom turn left. Brian looks in his rear view mirror confused since Dixie was supposed to break off with them.
"A hell of a job, Toretto's," Hobbs says as Dom drives beside him with Dixie following behind him. "When we get back to the base, the beer's on me." Dom rams into Hobbs, causing him to hit a light pole before his truck flips multiple times. Hobbs gasps in shock as he tries to get his bearings before Dom and Dixie drive over to him. Hobbs finds that his leg is trapped as they get out of their cars. "You lost your goddamn mind, Dom?" Dom and Dixie walk around to the back of the truck where the EMP is. "Toretto's, y'all put hands on that thing, you're both gonna have the whole world gunning for you, including me." Dixie unstraps the EMP before Dom starts taking it to his car. "I don't know what you're doing, but you better think about this." Dixie stops walking as if she is thinking about it. "It ain't too late to stop this."
"Yeah, it is," Dixie says sadly as she glances back at Hobbs before Dom puts the EMP in his car.
"It is now," Hobbs says to himself as Dixie gets into Dom's car before Dom drives off as Hobbs hears sirens heading towards them. Hobbs grabs his walkie that had disconnected from the comms system. "Those sumbitches just crossed us."
"What?" Roman asks him as Brian looks at his comms system confused since Dixie and Dom are the only ones near Hobbs.
"Wait a second, what are you talking about?" Tej asks him confused as well.
"Dom and Dixie took the EMP," Hobbs answers them as he tries to move his leg.
"Bullshit," Brian tells him as he shakes his head, knowing that Dixie and Dom would never betray their family.
"Where are you?" Letty asks Hobbs with a sigh as Dom's last words to her run through her head. I'll see you when it's done.
"It's too late for me. Get outta here," Hobbs answers her as the sirens of police cars get closer to him. "I saw that look in their eyes, and I've seen that look before. Dominic and Dixie Toretto just went rogue."
Dom drives onto an airstrip as several cars chase after them before a plane touches down in front of them. Dom speeds up to over 200mph, causing Dixie to squeeze her eyes shut as Dom enters the open cargo hold of the plane. Dom comes to a quick stop as the plane takes off again which causes Dixie to quickly get of the car before throwing up.
"You okay?" Dom asks as he quickly makes his way around to his sister before holding her hair back.
"I guess I really am pregnant," Dixie says as she looks up at Dom with tears in her eyes.
"Hey, we're all going to make it out of this," Dom reassures his sister as she wipes her tears away before nodding. A door in front of them opens before they walk inside.
Back at the safe house, Brian paces around Dom's car while Letty starts going through the car in hopes of finding any information on why she would turn on them. In the glove box she finds four pictures. One of them all at the beach, the second is of Brian, Dixie, and their daughter looking out at the city of Los Angeles. The third is of Letty and Dom while the last is of a young Dom, a young Dixie, a young Mia, and their brother, Jakob.
"Brian," Letty says softly, causing Brian to walk over to her before she hands him the pictures. Brian lightly smiles at the first three photos before a look of confusion reaches his face as he notices Jakob, who he had never seen before. Though he could tell that the guy is definitely related to them.
"All right, I got their phone records, y'all," Tej tells the team from his computer. "It's a whole bunch of calls to untraceable numbers."
"Burner phones right?" Roman asks him as Ramsey types on her computer.
"Nah, scrambler," Tej answers him as he looks at the papers he had printed before walking over. "Same number, but they got some sort of micro-router to bury the signal path, which means Dom and Dixie are clearly communicating with somebody that's above our pay grade."
"Look, I don't know Dom and Dixie as well as you, but if we just look at the facts, they've been having highly encrypted conversations with some mysterious person," Ramsey says as she walks over to Tej and Roman. "They took out Hobbs. They stole an EMP. Now they've disappeared."
"So, what are you saying?" Tej asks her as Brian hands the pictures back to Letty, who puts the pictures back in the glove box.
"Maybe we should consider the fact that Hobbs is right," Ramsey answers him as Letty gets out of Dom's car. "Dom and Dixie did go rogue." Letty slams the door before walking towards Ramsey with a glare on her face.
"Letty," Brian tries as he quickly catches up to step slightly in between them.
"Before you judge them, remember, you're breathing right now because they saved your life," Letty tells her with the glare never leaving. Letty bumps Ramsey's shoulder as she walks away from all of them.
"You just gonna let her bump your shoulder like that?" Roman asks Ramsey once Letty is out of earshot. Ramsey rolls her eyes before walking away from Roman. "I'm just saying, that was a little aggressive." Ramsey sits back down in front of her computer. "What you gonna do, email her?" Ramsey sighs before typing on her computer. "Check."
"Rome, this isn't the time or the place right now," Brian says with a stern look, causing Roman to look down with a nod before Brian goes to check on Letty.
Dom and Dixie are walking through the plane when a man named Rhodes, stands in front of them.
"Move," Dixie tells Rhodes with a glare, not in the mood to deal with anyone stopping her from completing the mission to get her child back.
"Say that again," Rhodes taunts her with a smirk.
"If we say it again, it'll be to a corpse," Dom threatens him, causing Rhodes to chuckle.
"I'm going to enjoy this," Rhodes says as the lady from Cuba, named Cipher, walks over to them.
"Welcome back, Dom," Cipher says as Dom looks over at her. "Dixie. Nice job out there. You both excited about, tonight?"
"You're going on this?" Rhodes asks her, causing her to roll her eyes at his overprotectiveness.
"Toretto's, you're with me," Cipher says before she, Dixie, and Dom leave the room. Cipher starts opening compartments as they enter another room.
"Showing me your shoe collection?" Dom asks her as he looks at all of the guns.
"Yep," Cipher answers him with a nod. "A pair for every occasion."
"You have enough guns in here to outfit a small army, huh?" Dixie asks as she walks around checking out each gun while Cipher sits down at a desk.
"Oh, this is just the tip of the iceberg," Cipher answers her with a proud smirk. "You know what I like about you two? You're both genuine outlaws. I mean, you're people who live by your own rules. Which is surprising, because when I saw you in Cuba, I heard about a guy who almost killed you with a motorcycle, and you let him keep his car?"
"Oh, that confused you?" Dixie asks her with a sarcastic laugh as she shakes her head.
"Hmm," Cipher says with a nod.
"Of course I could've taken his car. But it's about something bigger," Dom explains to her as he slowly walks around before closing one of the compartments. "This way, I changed him."
"That's not your responsibility," Cipher tells him with a slight frown.
"But it's who I am," Dom states as he walks over to her.
"Is it?" Cipher asks him with a raised eyebrow. "Let me ask you something, Dom. What's the best thing in your life?"
"Family," Dom answers her easily, causing Dixie to nod in agreement.
"No, it's not," Cipher argues with him, causing Dixie to cross her arms across her chest. "Not if you're being honest. It's the 10 seconds between start and finish, when you're not thinking about anything. No family, no obligations. Just you. Being free." Dom walks away from her knowing that it is partially true. "I got to tell you, this whole saving the world, Robin Hood nonsense you've been doing recently? It's bullshit. It's not you." Cipher closes the other compartment. "Be who you are. Why live only a quarter mile at a time when you can live your whole life that way?"
"Because when it actually comes down to it," Dixie says as she stands in front of Cipher with a smirk. "You are going to lose no matter what because our family doesn't know how to lose because we always win."
