"They're going to be looking for the four of us together now," Dom says as they exit the tunnel before looking at Brian. "We need to split up. You and Mia head south, Bree and I'll lead them away."

"No," Mia says as she shakes her head.

"Dom is right," Brian says as he looks at Mia. "Look how lucky we just got. What happens next time? We have no choice but to split up."

"I'm pregnant," Mia says causing Brian and Dom to freeze while Bree smiles. Mia looks between Brian, Bree, and Dom. "I already lost my family once. I'm not going through that again."

"Are you kidding me?" Brian asks as he grabs Mia's arm.

"No," Mia answers him with a smile before he kisses her then hugs her.

"I'm not going anywhere. Okay?" Brian tells her causing her to smile before he wraps an arm around her waist.

"Dom? Bree? Promise me we stick together," Mia says as they turn to face him.

"I promise," Dom tells her before walking over and pulling all three of them in a hug. "Our family just got bigger."

Dom picks them up some beer and food before finding them a place to stay for the night. Mia sleeps on the only cushioned chair in the room. Brian stands in the doorway as he watches Mia sleep. Bree slightly smiles from her spot at the window as she watches Mia and Brian.

"Hey, Dom, what do you remember about your father?" Brian asks as he sits in a chair out on the balcony.

"My father," Dom says thoughtfully as he leans against the table that's on the balcony. "He used to... He used to have a barbecue every Sunday after church with Bree's father. For anybody in the neighborhood. If you didn't go to church, you didn't get any barbecue. Every single day he was in the shop, and every single night, he was at the kitchen table with Mia and sometimes Bree, helping them with their homework. Even after Mia went to sleep, he'd stay up a few more hours so he could learn the next chapter and help her the next day. I remember everything about my father. Everything."

"That's just it," Brian says as he looks down. "I don't remember shit about my dad. I don't remember him yelling. I don't remember him smiling. To be honest with you, I don't even remember what the hell he looked like. I don't remember. He just... he was just never there."

"You ain't going to be like that, Brian," Bree tells him as Dom walks over to the window and looks at Mia. Brian goes back to looking at Mia, knowing they can't keep living the life that they are living.

"We can't keep running, Bree, Dom," Brian says as he looks over at Dom and Bree. "We got to get out. We got to get out now."

"You're right. Here's how we're going to do it," Dom says as he holds up the chip. "We're going to use this. We're going to do one last job. We're going to take all of Reyes' money. Every dime of it, and disappear. Forever." Dom sits the chip down in front of Brian.

"New passports. New lives with no more looking over our shoulder. And we're just going to buy our freedom," Brian explains in agreement.

"That's right," Dom agrees.

"You realize we're talking about going up against the most powerful guy in all of Rio?" Bree asks them, making sure they didn't want to back out.

"Yes, we are," Dom answers her.

"Then we're going to need a team," Brian says with a smile.
