An empty street is silent. With not very many people around or any action, we start to hear a car engine roaring. We start to see two cars in a car chase racing down the road. Various shots of the chase are shown like underneath behind the car, from the side of the hood, and a front overhead till we close up to see The Driver (Dan Stevens) is laser focused behind the wheel. The Driver tries to wait for a last second turn to throw off who’s following. Daisy (Chloe Bennett) is sitting in the passenger seat almost scared by what’s going on. Driver drives through some upcoming traffic with ease as the roar of the car is heard. Driver looks to see he’s still being followed. He tells Daisy to hold on and he pulls the emergency break to swerve into an alley under the bridge. Herb (Bruce Campbell) is still following but by a distance.
Driver looks at the rearview mirror and can see the passenger seat of the other guy have someone aim a gun at them. Driver waits till the last minute to turn into an empty alley. The other car stops and goes to back-up but Herb runs right into them. Driver races down as he looks to see Herb get out of his car. Daisy asks if it’s safe now and then loses her mind about what the hell is happening. Driver is silent to the point Daisy starts freaking out about the body in the backseat. Driver calms her down by stopping the car. He grabs a hold of her and tells her how he needs her to do exactly what he tells her to do. If she doesn’t, then tonight will be her last. Daisy understands and asks what they do now. Driver goes back to driving and stares onto the road intenseness.
Title Sequence
Herb gets out of his car as the driver tries to get out but Herb is quick to stop him. He aims his gun at him and tells to get out slowly. Herb warns him to not do anything hostile. The driver looks at him and suddenly his face shows a look that he knows who he is. The driver goes for his gun but Herb is quicker and shots him in the chest. The guy lies against the open door. Herb walks up still on alarm and checks the guy to see if he’s still alive. He suddenly hears a phone vibrate and Herb checks inside the car to see the phone with a message of a bounty set for Herb, Daisy and Driver. Herb looks at the phone and is shock not just by the hit on him but how he knows who Driver is from the first episode. Herb finally knows who he’s after but is interrupted as he hears the guy in the passenger seat groaning.
Mr. S (Norman Reedus) gets a report from his right-hand man that the bounty has started. Mr. S is happy to hear but gets interrupted by Long Shot (David Boreanaz), Ammo (John Cena), Tozawa (Lee Byung-hun) and Shadow (Eliza Dushku). They tell him how three guys tried by attacking the diner girl as they didn’t know the hunt already started. Mr. S doesn’t care as its all fair game. Mr. S isn’t worried as the thrill of a hunt is the chase and they know how to bait the prey out. He believes by the end of the night everything will be accomplished. Mr. S is also informed about how Herb has become more involved than planned. Mr. S stops with his train of thought and then makes a face of hidden anger. He walks up to the painting of him as a kid and stares at the blood stained hammer in the glass case. He tells them to finish the job or else he’ll have to get more hands on, which will involve everyone in the hit. Ammo doesn’t like the threat as does Shadow with some blade but Long Shot plays mediator and promises to take care of everything as long as the deal is open. They leave as S stares at them with a blank stare. S turns around and goes back to looking at the hammer.
Driver drives to a safe house to lay low. He makes it look like everything is normal till Daisy demands to know what’s going on. Driver tries to lie but Daisy doesn’t buy since she just saw him kill someone for the second time in her life. Driver levels with her by telling her Mr. S has put out a bounty on him and since she saw his face and survived that diner incident. She doesn’t understand why she’d be important but finds out she’s a loose end. S doesn’t like being able to be comprised and also he must know she’s Mia’s sister.
Driver brings out a bag to a table and starts putting out weapons like guns, knives, and/or stuff like pepper spray, brass knuckles, and etc. Daisy asks what all this is for and Driver tells her not to worry about it but she can’t help herself since she’s worried about him. Driver doesn’t understand now but is explained how she is noticing his change of attitude. He’s growing darker and cold. Driver shrugs her off that she’s a silly girl. Daisy is offended and insults him by what Mia would think if she saw him like this. Driver snaps by that on how she isn’t around anymore and it’s thanks S, who wants to burn around everything around him. He wants to kill S and will not stop till he gets it. Driver suddenly gets a call from his phone as it’s Moses (Morris Chestnut) who tells him to get to his house quickly. Driver thought he didn’t want anything to do with him but Moses says it’s urgent and to go to the normal meeting spot. Driver goes to leave and tells Daisy to not move or let anyone in.
Herb is at his house as he looks intense. He breathes in and out as he grabs a bag from under the sink. He goes to the basement. He fills a bucket of water, grabs some towels and walks into a dark room. Herb turns on the lights to see the passenger from the car from earlier is tied to a chair with a hanger wire. The guy has blood running down his face and some worse for wear. Herb rolls up his sleeves and takes off his watch and his ring, which he looks at with regret. He turns around and breathes one more deep breath. He slaps the guy so hard he snaps back to reality. Herb starts by saying he wants every question answered and anything else, he’ll lose his patience which at this moment who be very unwise. He asks if the guy understands. He nods his head and Herb takes off the gag. The guy tries to scream but Herb quickly grabs a towel and pours some water over his face. Herb takes it off and warns him again that was just to show how serious he is. He wants to know why there is a hit on him.
Driver shows up to Moses. Driver knocks on the door and Moses lets him in. Driver wants to know what’s going on but Ammo is quick to knock Driver down. Driver tries to stab him but is countered by Tozawa with a fury of kicks. Driver goes for his 9mm but a blade snaps it out of his hand as Shadow appears from the dark part of the room. Ammo is quick to throw him to a wall and Driver groans through the pain. Driver grabs a pair of brass knuckles and begins some decent punches to the head to the body on ammo with a hard knee into Ammo’s nose. But is quickly on guard as Tozawa goes to use some karate to slow Driver down. Tozawa knocks the knuckles of his hand and goes for some nerve punches but Driver lands a kick down low. Shadow goes to attack with her blades. Driver counters with some strikes but everytime he does Shadow gains a cut on him. Driver staggers after a cut to the outside of his right thigh. Shadow goes for the kill but flips her over into Tozawa. Driver rolls over to where his gun is and goes to shoot them but Ammo grabs the gun overpowering him. Driver then headbutts Ammo, land some hard elbow strikes but Ammo holds on. Driver then sees Tozawa and Shadow getting up and quickly puts the gun near Ammo’s ear and pulls the trigger. The gunshot stuns Ammo and Driver Spartan kicks him into Tozawa and Shadow. Driver sets the gun but a bullet knocks the gun out of hand.
Long Shot appears with Moses. Long Shot has had enough as much as he loved watching a master work. Driver asks who they are and Long Shot snickers as Driver show know already. They’re the “Hunting Party”, a group of people Mr. S has hired for whoever kills him gets the prize. Driver figures out that they must have been the ones who were chasing him. Long Shot laughs as he would embarrass if they were. They were another group for the prize as they went for the easy bait. They preferred the more personal bait. Moses mutters for them to go fuck themselves. Long Shot laughs as it took awhile to find out how to get him out of hiding. Driver is surprised by this as Moses turns out to be an informant for S as he could get back with his kids if he helped him. Driver now looks somber as he didn’t know Moses has a family. Moses reminds him that they agreed to not be personal, but this gets interrupted by how Long Shot needs to know where the girl. Driver refuses till LS tells him he’ll shoot Moses and kill his family if he doesn’t. Driver ponders as he doesn’t want Moses to die but he can’t tell them where Daisy is. Moses then tells him to not choose by how he knows either way someone is gonna die. He then tells Driver to look after his family and how he thought he saw what Driver was before but now sees how Driver is considering how to save him, a monster wouldn’t do that. Driver tells Moses to not talk like this is the end but Moses tells him it already is. “Don’t waste your chance to feel like a person for once. Not like me…” A pin drops to the floor as Long Shot’s eyes open wide. In slow motion, Driver dives over the kitchen counter as Long Shot lets go of Moses and runs with the Hunting Party out of the house. Driver sees the gas stove is running, runs through the backdoor, and goes to jump into the pool. Moses closes his eyes as he reveals a pulled hand grenade. Moses pulls out a photo of two young girls and a woman in her thirties. Moses closes his eyes as a tear drops down. He releases his hold and the whole house blows up.
A shot underwater is seen with Driver sinking into water as flames from the house shoot overhead. “Family is all anyone has… If you don’t have a reason like it, you’re not human but an animal…” Young Driver watches as his father figure, Andie Quinn (Kevin Bacon), gives a lesson to which he smiles almost sinisterly as a group of people kneeled down infront of them scared. “Now what would you do for your family…” Driver looks down to see Andie handed him a hammer.
