31.

Riley, Rome, Han, and Gisele all walk in looking tired and beat up. Brian's smile fades once he sees the condition they were in "What the hell happened?" "We met Dom's girlfriend. She's lovely." Riley answers as she walks over to Hobbs. "You all right?" he asks. "Yeah." Hobbs and Riley's attention turns to where Tej and Gianna sat at the computers "Tej, Gianna, what have you got? Footage, CCTV. Talk to me."

"We just went through all of it. Believe it or not, everywhere Shaw's team is, the cameras are down." Gianna tells Hobbs who crosses his arm. "That's a hell of a coincidence. All right, we're gonna pay CCTV a little visit. Let's roll" Hobbs says to Riley who nods, following after him. "What is that?" Tej asks Han who is standing in front of a table with something on it. "That is a new toy for you." Han tells him, Tej inspects it as Gianna looks at Rome and Han.

"So what happened?" she asks. "Shaw's goons showed up and started shooting up the place." Han started making Gisele cut in. "But we got something big." "What?" Dom asks. "Braga." Gisele tells him, this makes Gianna, Brian and Dom all look at each other remembering the familiar name, "He's working with Shaw." she throws the phone down on the table in front of Brian. "What are you talking about?" Brian questions.

"It's true. That phone's filled with coded payment transactions that lead straight to Braga's cartel." Han explains. "Now, who the hell is Braga?" Rome asks. "He ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico." Gianna tells him. "And my old boss." Gisele chimes in making Rome look around confused. "We used codes just like that to move money out of the country." Gisele explains. "All makes sense. Braga was running Letty. Now he's working with Shaw. It'd explain how the two of 'em met." Brian says.

"So you all know all this information about him. Where do we find him?" Tej questions. "He's sitting in a prison in Los Angeles." Brian answers sighing. "How do you know that?" Tej asks. "Brian put him there." Gianna responded for him. "So this is the break we were looking for. If the two of 'em were working together, Braga will know what Shaw's up to. I'm gonna pay him a visit." Brian lets out as he walks around

"Are you serious right now? Think about what you're saying. You're wanted, Brian. The moment you step foot off that plane, it's a wrap. You're not coming back." Rome tells him which is a fair point. "Coming back? How are you gonna get in the country?" Tej adds. "Let me worry about that." Brian says looking at the two Toretto siblings. "This is on me." he finally spoke. "I'm the one that served her up to Braga. I'm the one that gets to make it right." Brian lets out in all honesty. "Let me make it right." Gianna lets out a breath. "Be careful." she says before watching him walk away.

Meanwhile, Hobbs and Riley have reached their destination to look into the CCTV footage that is missing whenever Shaw's team was around

Meanwhile, Hobbs and Riley have reached their destination to look into the CCTV footage that is missing whenever Shaw's team was around. "He's ready to see you now. Right this way." A woman tells the two before they walk into an office with a bunch of people sitting at computers. "Thank you for seeing us. I won't take up much of your time. My men were attacked earlier today. I'm gonna need to see all cameras in and around Waterloo station." Hobbs tells the man who stood up from a desk. "Will somebody tell Captain America here that requires clearance?" The man jokes making the people around laugh.

Riley hands him a note, he looks at it. "Terry. Bring up cameras 58 through 62, earlier today." Terry begins to bring up the cameras as the man hands the note back to Riley. "They've been down for maintenance all morning." Terry tells them "Sorry." The man whispers as he shrugs making Hobbs sigh. "Okay. Well, we appreciate your help. Thank you." They shake hands, Hobbs grip is a little tighter as he eyes the man in front of him, "You know what I find very interesting? Interpol was attacked recently as well. Those cameras were down too. Didn't catch a thing. Nothing." This catches Terry's attention.

"Now, that means either your maintenance schedule lines up perfectly with their escape route, or someone here is working with them. And that's just ridiculous." Hobbs laughs as he talks. " 'Cause there ain't no way in hell anybody here would be working for them. Particularly you. Ain't that right?" he asks. "No. no, that's ridiculous." The man manages to let out through the tight grip Hobbs had on his hand. "That is ridiculous. I'm gonna need direct access to your live feed citywide. And I also strongly suggest that you put a hold on any more maintenance." The man instantly nods his head. "Yeah. Yeah, yeah, of course." "We appreciate your help. Thank you so much." Hobbs finally lets go of the man's hand.

"Big Brother's about to go live." Tej announces as he pulls up all the CCTV cameras before he, Gianna and Riley all look at the screens. "Damn, you can't flick a booger in London without somebody noticing." Tej says making both Gianna and Riley laugh. Rome picks up the harpoon gun once Tej turns his back. The noise doesn't help Rome's case because Tej turns around. "Hey! Don't touch that. That's nothing to play with, man." he jumps out of his seat, walking over to Rome. "What's the problem?" Rome asks. "That's high-tensile titanium cable." Gianna tells him making both of them look at her. "What does that mean?" Rome questions.

"That's what they use to anchor building and hold up bridges" Tej begins taking the harpoon gun from Rome. "Stuff you know nothing about. See, now their version, it works cool, but mine, masterpiece. See, I reversed the gears, torqued the motor.." Tej explains before sliding the cover off the back of the harpoon gun, "And added this tank to the back" revealing the NOS. "That makes it even sweeter." Rome says as he grabs the gun back. "Let me get that, man." Tej looks at him like he's crazy. "It's not dummy proof." "Man, I've been known to handle big guns. Relax." Rome argues back. "You've been known to handle that big ass head."

Han walks in as the two are arguing. "Hey, Gianna, Dom, I did some checking, asked around. Got the location of a street race tonight." He tells the two as they walk up to him. The three watch as a harpoon gets shot into the wall. Dom and Gianna turn their heads to where it came from, Gisele running in. Rome shoves the gun into Tej's hand who points at Rome. "Can we please put the gun out of Rome's reach." Gianna says sighing.
