Dirt

Americans love to race.

Seems once we make something go

you wanna make it go faster.

And once it goes faster

well, let's see who can make it go the fastest.

In drag racing, it's all about acceleration.

In drift, it's all about style points.

In NASCAR, well, it's a lotta left turns.

But in our world..

...it's all about dirt.

'We're in Round 1 of Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.'

'Trent Lerion's troubles continue heading to lap 10.'

He's gettin' squeezed out there.

You're gettin' squeezed out there, man.

Tell me something I don't know. I'm covered in sludge out here.

He's running out of mud shields.

Well, he wouldn't be so dirty if he ever had the lead.

'Behind the leaders, Trent Lerion

'is making his move on Greg Adler.'

'Battlin' it out for the last spot on the podium.'

He's gotta make a move on Turn 2.

- Trent, you gotta-- - Yeah, I got this.

'Lerion's Number 7 Rockstar car is all over Adler.'

'Now, he goes to make a move, but Adler shuts him down again''

'That has to frustrate Lerion.'

'He just can't find an opening out there.'

He's too close.

'No! Oh, no!'

'He lands on Adler's bumper, slams into the K-rail.'

'That's gonna do some damage.'

Tell me somethin'.

Status, brother.

Uh, engine's sputtering.

Tire's flat and I'm pretty sure the rear dip is broke.

Dip's gone.

That's it, we're done.

Damn it!

'Well, that looks like'

'the end of the day for Trent Lerion'

'and his Number 7 Rockstar team.'

- Suspect in sight. - 'Heads up, Dez.'

'More po-po coming from Alameda.'

Alright, flip around, 300 yards on your left.

The alley will give you some breathing room.

- Damn it, I can't see a thing. - Quick right.

Anymore five-O?

Looking. Nothing.

'Nothing.'

Go left on Viaduct Street. Then it's open for a bit.

No, I'm good.

- I'mma coast right in. - No. Viaduct is safer.

- You need to listen to me. - 'Ha. They off me.'

Alright, don't worry about it. We good, man.

'Unit 17, suspect spotted.'

'Headed east bound on Bronson.'

Oh, shit, Dez, crews are closin' in fast!

Yo, get outta there!

I got him.

Where to?

Down Ellis Street.

Suspect in sight, headed east on Bronson.

Mother Teresa, Mary, Moses, Paul, John.

Where you going, man?

Oh, shit!

Oh!

- Play it again? - No more.

Everybody, back to work.

Come on.

Don't worry, you all will get a GIF

with the best moments in your inboxes.

Rewind it.

You wanna see the impact again?

I think you can hear Pearson cry a little bit at the end.

I wanna see the driver.

You know this kid?

I do.

'He was part of the Nexgeneracers program

a few years back for Out Rescue.

Wait, so you taught him how to steal cars?

You want me to put out a warrant?

Yeah.

Didn't think you were gonna make it.

Traffic.

15,000 miles on it.

Sells for 400 grand.

No police?

Clean as a new razor blade, yo.

'Cause you know what the boss will do if you bring the heat.

Yeah, I know, Serge.

20K. Take it or leave it.

It books for almost 400.

You know anyone else that can move wheels like this?

Come on, Serge, don't do me like this, man.

19.5.

19.

It's always a pleasure, Junior.

You got skills, my man.

Nineteen k?

God, you should have got twice as much.

You wanna argue with Serge, huh?

You almost got yourself pinched tonight.

- But I didn't. - But it was stupid.

Why you gotta do stuff like that, man? It freaks me out.

Look, don't trip, alright?

No cop's gonna ever outdrive me.

Now, floor it, alright?

I'm tryin' to get home before Tanya wake up.

I am flooring it. This is top speed for my little baby, okay?

- Hooptie, that's what-- - Shh. She'll hear you.

- Did you check first? - I knew it was you.

- What are you doin' up? - I recorded "Supergirl."

Can we watch before I go to school?

- Oh. - Please?

Okay. Just hold on.

I gotta put some of this stuff up first.

- You get cereal? - Of course.

- Multigrain? - Better for you.

- They're brown. - We brown.

Ain't nothin' wrong with being brown, Tanya.

- Ooh, it comes with stickers. - Mm-hm.

You finish your homework?

- Tanya. - 'On the table.'

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

- 'Hurry up!' - Alright. I'll be right there.

[indistinct chatter on police radio]

Dez, what is it?

Um, I'm in a little bit of trouble, alright?

But everything's gonna be okay.

I'mma figure somethin' out. You gotta trust me.

- 'Police, open up!' - Dez, I'm scared.

Hey. Look at me, alright?

You gotta be strong because I can't be worrying about you.

'LAPD. Open the door.'

It's alright, Tanya. It's, it's alright.

Hey. Hi, honey.

Oh, baby. You're a savior.

- I missed you last night. - Yeah, I just crashed here.

We ran into all kinds of trouble yesterday.

I know. What's Harvey sayin'?

Well, he thinks the suspension's not dialed in.

Bulger still thinks it's the driving.

What do you think?

I don't know. Maybe Trent's not carrying

enough speed into the corners.

I don't know. God, if I could just get to the driver's seat--

Oh, you can't do that to yourself, no.

I just can't get this team to gel.

It's like they're all speakin' a different language.

You're letting it consume you.

This is all I am, baby.

If I can't make this work..

...what's left for me?

Hey.

You're Rick Radden.

Look, I know that you wanna trust your team

but you need to trust yourself.

Yeah, I hear you, babe.

Oh, man.

'You come to lecture me?'

- Would it do any good? - I didn't do anything.

You didn't steal the Rolls and lead an officer on a chase?

Or you crashed a patrol car.

That sounds like me.

But, nope. Wasn't me.

Look familiar?

Yeah. A long time ago now.

You were the smartest, most talented kid in that bunch.

Remember Richter?

Yeah, Rick. He sucked.

Well, he's working in a repair shop down in Crenshaw now.

And, uh, Lin Pao, he's a detailer.

Drivin' around in his own mobile unit.

Doin' pretty well for himself too.

- Great for them. - It is great for them.

Because they're not sittin' here with me lookin' at jail time.

I told you, I didn't do nothing.

Well, uh..

...I've got a dash cam video

with you wavin' on it that says otherwise.

They wanna try you as an adult, Dez.

That means real jail time.

I can't go to no jail. I got my sister to look after.

No, you don't anymore. She been thrown into the system.

No one is helpin' me out there!

I tried to help you, Dez.

I brought you into the Nexgeneracers.
