Mari was kneeled in front of her daughter. "Okay baby. Mommy's going to be helping Aunt Mia and Uncle Dom for a while alright? But just know I'll always come back for you." She says as she tears up. Rosie looks up at her mother, a smile on her face. "It's okay Mommy, you'll always be back." She says as she hugs her mom. Mari stares down at her daughter, a sad smile on her face. "I love you, Rosalinda." She says. "I love you too Mommy." Rosie replies.
Mari looks up at Rosa who was bouncing Nico on her hip. "Obrigado, por tudo que você está fazendo." (Thank you, for everything you are doing.) She says as she brushes a curl out of her face. "Não é problema, um amigo dos Toretto é meu amigo." (It is no trouble; a friend of the Toretto's is a friend of mine.) Rosa says with a smile. She starts to lead her daughter inside, Rosie smiling at her mom one last time. Mari walks back to her car, a few stray tears falling down her face. "Be strong Mari, be strong." She says as she drives back to the warehouse.
After everything that happened that morning, here she was. She wore a black tank top, jean shorts, and a black ski mask over her face. "Nobody move!" Dom shouts causing the workers to scream as they huddle together. "You a dead man. You're all dead men! You don't have a place to hide." The man in the center shouts at all of them. Dom takes off his mask, looking at the man. "Who's hiding?" Dom questions causing everyone else to take off their masks.
"Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Do you know whose house this is? Whose money are you stealing?" The man questions. "We ain't stealing it." Dom says as he and Brian pour gasoline on the stack of money, Mari lighting up her lighter. Dom nods at her causing her to throw it onto the money. "You tell your boss exactly who did this. Tell him there's more coming." Dom says causing Mari to smirk as she stares at the flames.
Now they were back at the warehouse. Mari was sat on the couch, a sad smile on her face. "You okay?" Han questions walking over, raising a brow asking if he could sit. Mari nods at him. "It's weird. I've never been without Rosie, and here we are." She says rubbing her hands together. "Can I ask a question?" Han questions causing her to nod. "How is it that Rosie y'know-" Han says causing her to chuckle. "High school sweethearts. I found out I was pregnant a week before our wedding, the day I was gonna tell him I caught him in bed with my cousin." She says causing Han to grimace.
"But I'm over it, I have Rosie in my life." She says causing Han to look at her. "You ever think of getting back out there again?" Han questions causing her to shrug. "When I'm ready." She says causing Han to chuckle and for her to smile. "Well, if you ever want to, you know where I am." Han says with a wink causing her to shake her head. "Anything is better than Roman." She says causing Han to laugh. "I heard that!" Roman shouts.
"You were meant to!" Mari shouts back. "Is Mari your real name?" Han questions. "It's a nickname. My full name is Mariposa, like you know Butterfly in Spanish. My Dad was from Mexico while my mom was born here, my dad chose the name." She says with a smile. "Now where did Rosalinda come from?" Han questions causing her to chuckle. "My mother." She says turning to Han. "My turn." She says sitting cross-legged on the couch. "Favorite color." She says causing Han to burst out in laughter.
"I ask you about your kid and your ex, and the first thing you ask me is my favorite color?" Han questions causing her to nod. "Duh." She says causing him to shake his head. "Orange." He says causing her to squint her eyes and look him over, nodding. "What does that mean?" Han questions. "What?" She questions. "The little." Han says mocking her movements. "You just seem like an orange type of guy." She says. "We could use a little help over here!" Brian shouts causing her to roll her eyes.
"Come on." She says standing up and walking over. "Why'd you do that?" Mia questions hitting Brian's arm. "What?" Brian questions causing Mia to shake her head at his obliviousness. They discussed their plan, eventually setting it in motion.
That was how Mari ended up here, stood over a railing, watching a car pass. "I got mine." She says. "I got eyes on Five." Han says. "I know y'all said they were consolidating the money somewhere, but y'all ain't going to believe this." Tej says causing her to look over, noticing they were bringing the safe into a police station. "Well, this job just got a lot harder." She says. "If he's moving it into a police station he's got some serious brass in his pocket." Brian says. "Looks like this is going to be a shorter trip than I thought..." Mari mutters to herself. "Hell, yeah, we can't do this." Leo says.
""Can't"? You mean, "shouldn't."" Han says. "I think this doesn't change a thing. I say we stick to the plan." Dom says. "You say what? This just went from mission Impossible to mission In-freaking-sanity. Whatever, man. I ain't scared, I'm just letting you all know, going in that building is crazy. I got this." Roman says causing Mari to chuckle. "You sure about that Roman?" Mari questions.
Thankfully they made it back to base, no harm done. She went to the phone and called Rosa. "Olá?" (Hello?) Rosa questions. "Rosa! Só liguei para dizer boa noite à Rosalinda." (Rosa! I was just calling to say goodnight to Rosalinda.) Mari says into the phone, leaning against the wall. "Tudo bem, deixe-me ir pegá-la." (Alright, let me go grab her.) Rosa says, after a few moments, Rosie's little voice was on the phone. "Mommy?" Rosie questions causing Mari to smile. "Hey sweetie." She says.
"Mommy! How is it up there?" Rosie questions causing Mari to smile. "We're getting our work done, so don't worry I'll be back for you sooner than you think." She says causing Rosie to smile while sitting in the wooden chair. "Of course." Mari says. "You'll be safe though, right Mom?" She questions causing Mari to smile. "Of course, I will. Goodnight baby." She says. "Goodnight, Mommy." Rosie says and they hang up. She turns and smiles.
"She gonna be okay?" Dom questions causing Mari to nod. "She's my strong little warrior." Mari says. "She's just like her mother." Han says causing the woman to smile at him. "Thanks Han." She says as she grins just as Mia walks back in. "The beauty of public offices? Public records." She says as she lays down a roll of paper on the table.
"This is where he's keeping the money. The vault in the evidence room." Brian says as he points to a spot on the map, Han and Mari walking back over. "Um. Uh, yeah. Can I get everyone's attention, right here, for a second? We're talking about breaking into a police station." Tej says, everyone looking at him with a brow raised.
"Is anyone listening to those words? Anybody? Popo? Five-O. One-time. Pigs. People we don't like." Tej says, Mari shrugging. "You know, police stations are designed to keep people in, not out." Han says knowingly, everyone in the group nodding in agreement. "That's why it's a stealth mission. We'll be in and out before they even know we were there." Brian says.
"Well, we'll need to get eyes in there. At least to find out the make and model of that vault." Dom says as he looks at all of them. "So the vault and then, so...It's crazy. Who's supposed to do all this?" Roman questions, not yet seeing everyone looking at him. "Roman." Mari says, the man looking up at everyone. "What do you mean? Why me?" Roman complains.
"Because you got the biggest mouth." Brian says, Mari smiling widely. "That's for damn sure." Tej says and this caused Mari to laugh happily, Han turning to the woman with a grin.
