Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

In Los Angeles, trucks full of electronics are being hijacked by drivers in souped-up cars. Cop Brian O'Conner goes undercover in the street racing scene and gets close to Dominic Toretto, the king of the street, and his sister Mia. Brian suspects rival Johnny Tran, but that lead goes nowhere, and everything points to Dom's crew. On the last heist, the job goes wrong and Vince is badly hurt. To save him, Brian reveals he's a cop. Tran attacks the Toretto house and ends up dead. Dom and Brian run one last quarter mile, and Dom wrecks the Charger. Brian hands him the keys to the Supra and lets him go. Left open: Brian has thrown away his career, and Dom is on the run.
