The Cop And The Criminal

12.1

That night Letty, Leon, Vince, Kassidy, and Dom are getting ready to leave to take a truck. Dom had agreed to let Kassidy come after much convincing on her part and the fact that they didn't have Jesse. Mia comes over and starts arguing with Dom.

"I have respected you and I haven't said shit. Now I am asking you not to go," Mia says.

"I'm doing this for both of us," Dom tells her.

"Don't give me that crap. You're doing this for you. Why are you insisting on doing this? Dom, please, just don't," Mia says before they get into the cars and leave.

"Mia, what's going on?" Brian asks as he catches up to her having seen the argument from inside the trailer.

"What?" Mia asks.

"You know what I'm talking about," Brian tells her.

"No, I don't," Mia argues.

"You always have tears in your eyes when Dom drives away?" Brian asks her.

"What's the matter with you?" She asks him.

"What's he racing off in the middle of the night for? You know about the trucks?" Brian asks her.

"No, Brian! What trucks? Jesus Christ. What?" Mia says before Brian pulls her to a stop.

"Listen to me. Mia, I'm a cop," Brian says as he decides to blow his cover.

"What are you talking about, Brian? What is this?" Mia questions him.

"Ever since the first time I met you, I've been undercover. I'm a cop," Brian tells her.

"Oh, you bastard. You bastard," Mia says before walking away.

"Mia," Brian says as he tries to get her to stop.

"Get off of me, Brian!" Mia says as she hits his arms.

"Mia! Listen to me! Everything I ever said I felt about you was real. I care about you. I swear to God. You have to believe me, Mia. But this isn't about you and me. Your brother and Kassidy are out there to pull a job. We're running out of time. Those truckers aren't laying down anymore. Maybe they'll make it through tonight, but every law enforcement agency is coming down on them. If you don't want anything to happen to your brother, to Letty, to Kass, to Vince, to Leon, you have to get in that car with me right now and help me. Mia, you are the only person that can help me right now. Please, Mia. Please help me," Brian explains to her as he worried about Kassidy since she is like his sister. Mia agrees for the sake of her family.

"Civics are stashed somewhere outside of Thermal," Mia says as she looks at the map.

"They wouldn't double back, and Highway 10 is too well patrolled. So, what does that leave us with?" Brian says as he breaks it down.

"All this," Mia says as she looks at the map. Brian then gets out his phone and calls Nextel.

"This is Officer Brian O'Conner. Serial number 34762. I need a cell phone trace," Brian says.

"Okay. What's the cell number?" The lady asks.

"Mia, what is Dom's?" Brian asks, knowing Kassidy would have her phone to where it couldn't be tracked. "Come on, Mia. She needs Dom's cell phone number now." Brian hands her the phone.

"323-555-6439" Mia says.

"Thank you. Yeah, you get that?" Brian asks before they say they will call him back.

"All right, we're one man short," Dom says as he takes the covers off of the civics. "Letty, I need you on the left side. Kassidy your with Leon."

"Your sister's right about this one. This don't feel good," Leon says as he brings the harpoon gun to Dom.

"Don't do that," Dom tells him.

"Something's wrong," Letty tells him as she brings over the other gun.

"Stop," Dom says.

"We shouldn't be doing this without Jesse," Letty adds. 

"Look. This is the mother lode. We've been on this for three months. After this, it's a long vacation for everyone. Let's go," Dom says.

"I hope so," Leon says before going to get in his car. Dom walks over to Kassidy, who has a worried look on her face.

"Listen, the other night I had a dream that you and I were on the beach in Mexico," Dom tells her with a smile.

"Really?" Kassidy asks him with a smile.

"Really," Dom answers her before kissing her.

"Come on. Let's make this happen," Kassidy tells him before kissing him again.

"Leon, keep on those scanners," Dom says as he walks over to his car.

"Copy that," Leon says as Kassidy walks over to his car.

"All right, let's go," Dom says as he looks at Kassidy one last time before they get in the cars and take off.
