A recap of the last few episodes plays.

The screen is black as we hear a cell phone ringing. A pick-up tone is heard as there’s a bit of a pause with Driver (Dan Stevens) breathing hard. We hear Driver say “Hello?” “So good to hear your voice…”

We are back to where we left off as Driver is standing on Moses’ front lawn looking like he just went through a deathmatch. He just stands there like a pissed of wildebeest. “I gotta say… You live up to your rep… Almost makes me wanna see what you would’ve done if I did more damage to your girl…” His grip on the phone tightens. “What do you want…?” Driver seems to be trying very hard to contain his anger. “I wanna see what you can do… Just like I wanna see how you’ll get out of prison…” We hear police sirens coming close now. “It doesn’t matter…” “Oh… Why’s that?” “Cause… One way or another… I’m gonna kill you…” There’s a pause of silence as the police cars drive down the street. “Good Luck with that…” The phone disconnects as police start screaming at him to turn around. He complies and gets arrested.

Night by Kavinsky ft. Lovefoxx plays as the title in hot pink "DRIVE" display over the city of Phoenix, AZ. Driver ride in the back of a police car as we see the nightlife like hookers, college kids, or ghettos. The driver doesn’t show any reaction as he is completely silent but focused.


Herb (Bruce Campbell) is hard at work trying to view the security tapes as he needs to get at least a part of the so-called “Driver’s” face. Milton (Benjamin Bratt) sees Herb hard at work as he offers some distraction. Herb isn’t up to it as he wants to find who the man is. Milton then says they may have someone as Peter Ridge (Peter Capaldi) has offered to give them a chance. Herb is set back by this as they were told to fuck off last time they tried. Milton seems to be cheery as they may have a chance granted Ridge has his lawyer. Herb wastes no time as they go to question him. We see Driver get brought to a different testimony as Herb and he don’t see each other.


Peter Ridge is sitting in his own room as his missing teeth are replaced with gold teeth. Herb and Milton question him about who the Driver is but Ridge starts telling them about a man who came to him to kill someone close to the Driver. They seem intrigued as Ridge then tells them to turn all cameras off. Milton doesn’t want to but Herb thinks it would be a better idea. They do and Ridge starts tell them about this figure that is named Mr. S. How this is a guy who has been taking out numerous people. He seems to not trust anyone and anyone who can id him ends up missing or never heard of again. Herb asks if they can offer protection can he give him to proper authorities. Ridge doesn’t waste time to agree and Herb likes this. Herb and Milton goes to make this deal to their boss.

Milton and Herb talk about this as Milton doesn’t seem to be behind this. Herb does because they know they won’t find the driver since everyone has been looking for him for five years. Milton thinks this will not go well but Herb asks what the worst that can happen is. A cop hears them and begins to make a call.


We see testimonies of Moses and his friends talk about what happened in Moses’ house. They give every description of the actions and what happened after. Driver sits in his seat not answering anything that they ask him. Driver then tells them if they got nothing on him since it was all self-defense, then they can let him go. But since Driver does have DNA linking him to him the murders, he has to be held for 24 hours. Then as one of the cops leaves, the other cop tells him that Mr. S is watching him and not to get comfort cause his night here will be his last safest night ever. Driver gets up to threaten him but it leads to cops to restrain him. His partner asks him what that was but his partner shrugs in response.

Herb and Milton continue to talk but they get brushed as Herb looks at the head of the pack. Herb stops but seems to sense something. Milton asks what’s up but Herb says nothing and moves on.

Ridge hears someone walk in and thinks it’s the cops but is surprised when he hears a familiar voice of Mr. S (Norman Reedus). Ridge tries to explain his reasons for being there but Mr. S says there’s no worries. Mr. S understands considering how Driver found him and did what he did to him. Ridge doesn’t understand why this is happening. Mr. S says this is just business with pleasure and how Ridge can’t give up any details to those cops cause then they would know about Driver in one of the other rooms. Ridge begs as he hasn’t said anything, but S isn’t fooled cause he knows he would if he got protection. Ridge is now hopeless as S snaps his fingers and two big men walk in. Ridge begs still b ut S tells him to pray. Ridge is confused but S points that a true Irish Catholic prays to God when things are hopeless. Ridge tries to ask what that means but the two men put a plastic bag over his head as Ridge struggles trying to keep as much air as he can but it’s pointless. Through Mr. S’s sunglasses, we see the battle of Ridge till he fades out to the point he goes out. Mr. S sighs as he thought the resourceful bastard would last longer. He exits as his men clear up the scene for any traces of their presence. Mr. S tells them to pay the cop who called them and walks away.

Herb and Milton talk to their boss, Seth Corbin (Dominic Cooper) as they need to reach a deal so they can get more info about Mr. S. Seth seems to be surprised by that news as he has heard of the legend of Mr. S. They ask who he is and Seth tells them that everything he’s gonna say can never leave the room. He checks everything and closes the door. He then tells them that Mr. S has been a hired gun who has become a modern day ghost story. He gets a job that interests him and then finds a way to get rid of them in a way where it wouldn’t connect him. It can be anything but one thing that connects them is one white roses always found at some part of the scene. Herb’s eyes shoot open as he remembers something like for a case he worked awhile ago. He runs out of the room leaving Milton to excuse them to Seth.

Herb hurries to the room Peter Ridge is at as Driver again is taken somewhere while avoiding him all together. They walk into the room Ridge is at and sees Ridge is unconscious. They test to see he is dead and rush to see if they have anyone in the station that could have done it.

Driver is now sitting at the containment room with some inmates for the night. One inmate looks at him and driver notices and looks away not interested. The guy sniffs and walks up to him and sits next to him and no one sits next to Driver since he’s been there. “Hey man what you in for?” The driver doesn't answer. The guy continues “Hey I think I know you man. Yea.” Driver shows no expression as the guy looks back at his buds and they laugh as they know its some kind of joke.

“You’re that guy who rode my uncle and my father one day. I think it was in San Diego?” Driver doesn't answer as he continues to stare at the floor. “I just wanted to know my papi got some serious time for that, gringo.” Driver doesn't look “Maybe he shouldn't have beaten your sister to death.” The guy gets upset “What did you just say?” The driver looks at him and repeats himself but in a more complicated edition. The guy tries to shank Driver but Driver catches the knife arm with one hand at the wrist and quickly like the blink of an eye, he snaps the guy’s wrist with a flick of Driver’s wrist and the guy drops the knife and screams holding his wrist. Driver takes hold over his mouth. The guy’s buddies go to help but Driver points at them warning them to stop where they are. They do as they saw what has done so far that is not to be messed with.

Driver leans in close so only the guy can hear him as he groans over his broken wrist under Driver’s hand “Now go back to your corner and shut up...” Driver leans in closer to let his fire in his eyes to be seen, “Or I’ll break your freaking teeth down your throat and do it for you.” Driver takes his hand off and goes back to how he was as the guy bites his lip and goes back to his corner and his buddies ask what the hell was that? A police officer goes up to the cage and opens it. “You’re free.” Driver looks up and sees the officer is looking at him. “Yea you monk. You’re free to go.” Driver gets up and grabs his coat and walks out quietly leaving the man with the broken wrist cussing in Spanish and Driver whispers in Spanish “Right back at ya.”


Driver walks out slow to this as (Revolution by The Score plays) the police scrambles to figure things out. He puts on sunglasses as he exits. He hears a ringing from his shoes as he puts out the cell phone from earlier out of his socks and answers it as Mr. S tells him to do to the Hollywood Diner. He walks the way as Herb rushes out trying to see if he sees the driver or Mr. S.

Driver walks into Hollywood Diner as he asks a waitress if a Mr. S is available and she leads him to a booth and takes his order. They have monologue about how the menu is limited like how 50 Shades of Grey is to story and she wakes away to take his order later. He hears a ring and someone walks into the other side of his booth. Driver’s face grows serious as the other guy is relaxed. Driver wants to says something but the waitress intervenes. “What do you guys want?” Cut to black…
