Summary[]
Trapped inside a hauler, the whole crew needs help as the authorities close in on them-and-their hopes may rest on the newest member of the family.
Plot[]
Still in Mexico City, the hauler breezes through the streets on autopilot, as Echo asks Frostee if they still have any police on their tail. He replies back by saying that they lost ‘em, and since the hauler is cloaked, it will be that much harder to find them now.
When Tuco suggests they take the hauler on a wrestling tour to put on a show like they did earlier, Tony shots that idea down. He explains how his manager is the guy who framed them, and was ultimately just using Tuco. Tony then tells Ms. Nowhere and the rest of his crew, that Moray was using Tuco’s wrestling matches as a cover. In reality, he is building a tunnel under the arena.
Cisco points out that he was right afterall that his uncle Tuco wasn’t working with Moray afterall. But Tony points out that technically Tuco was unknowingly working with Moray. So in the end, both Cisco and Ms. Nowhere were both technically right and wrong.
Later, an alarm rings on the hauler, and one of Moray’s ghost henchmen appears in the middle of the road. The ghost henchmen throws an emp, which causes the hauler to lose its cloaking and steering as well. Frostee then reveals that as a result, the hauler is going into automatic lockdown. Tony yells out to hit the brakes, but Frostee replies that those are gone too. As Roscoe whines, Ms. Nowhere orders everyone to hang onto something and brace for impact. The hauler flips a couple of times, and eventually comes to a stop.
Elsewhere, Palindrome informs Gary and Julius that he has decided their mission has changed. He agrees that Ms. Nowhere was right, and that Moray is up to something.
Julius then asks if they are on Ms. Nowhere’s side again, and if they should call up the authorities. Palindrome clarifies that they can’t because this is a mission their superiors would never approve. Thus, they are going to go rogue. Gary then asked what ultimately changed Palindrome’s mind; the fact that Tony saved him or if it was Ms. Nowhere calling him names. Palindrome says it was neither. Instead it was something deeper, and ultimately sometimes one has to feel it. He then tasks the two men to pull all the agency files on Moray, while he goes to chase down some leads in the field. He then tells the two agents that when he gets back, they are going out for ice cream together.
Outside of the hauler, the local police force has the area surrounded and barricaded. One of the officers explains that they have six international fugitives, a professional luchador, and an attack dog inside that hauler. She then goes onto say that they are armed and extremely dangerous, but it is up to them to take them in. The female officer then proceeds to order the other officer to crack the hauler open.
Inside the hauler, Cisco freaks out at hearing the officers trying to break into the hauler. But Ms. Nowhere assures everyone it is going to take a lot more than saw to get through the hauler’s armor. She then mentions that they could survive years inside the hauler if they had to. Tony exclaims that Moray is digging tunnels and planning on destroying half of Mexico City, so they don’t have time on their side right now. Frostee also points out that the bathroom is locked, so that would be an important issue as well.
Eventually, Tony apologizes to Layla for the way he acted without thinking. But Layla points out that this is always Tony’s problem. He tends to react without thinking, and is usually wrong. Later, Echo points out that if Ms. Nowhere and the agency had not been so hard on Moray fifteen years earlier, then maybe they would not be in the mess they are in at the moment. Ms. Nowhere however blames Tuco for running his mouth. Cisco defends his uncle, and Frostee agrees because Tuco never asked to be a spy and keep secrets. But Cisco was, and he failed at it big time. Cisco states that he only told those secrets because as he had said before, Tuco is family. Frostee argues that it still account, and brings up how he would never tell Sissy his secrets.
The gang continues to argue until Ms. Nowhere has Roscoe sniff a pair of Gary’s back up sunglasses. She firmly believes that after her little rendezvous with Palindrome the day before, they are on their side now. So she has Roscoe go and find them, and bring them to their current location.
Palindrome then heads to Tuco’s last match, and successfully gets down to some underground tunnels. He eventually launches one of his drones from his watch, and through his phone, he is able to see multiple tunnels that have been created recently.
Back at the hauler, the cops continue to break in, but to no avail. Inside, Frostee exclaims that he found a way out and points to the vent on the ground. He explains that said vent doesn’t use electricity. So it’s kind of like a fire sprinkler because when smoke hits the trigger, it pops open. He then shows them two glass beakers; one containing a purple liquid solution and the other a red liquid solution respectively. If the two are mixed together, they create a smoke bomb and all they have to do is hold their breath for a little bit, but then they can pop out and escape through the sewers.
Layla however points out that if it doesn’t work, the hauler will fill up with smoke, and they will die. Unfortunately, Frostee ends up dropping the two beakers and the two chemical solutions mix. The vent does open, but only Roscoe is able to escape.
Some time later, Echo realizes that the explosions outside have stopped. But Ms. Nowhere is able to hear a deep rumbling, and realizes the cops have a blowtorch at their disposal. Echo realizes this means they are likely going to get through. Which in turn means they will be shipped off to some remote ice prison or something similar. She then voices her fear of possibly having to bunk with Rafaela. Realizing that they are short on time, everyone begins to make up and apologize. Tuco then tries to cheer everyone up with a speech, by mentioning his matches, but this unintentionally has Ms. Nowhere discover a big clue.
It turns out that the arenas Tuco wrestled were all next to banks, government buildings and corporate skyscrapers in the richest parts of Mexico City. Thus, she deduces that Moray was in fact using the matches as a cover for the tunnels he was digging.
Meanwhile, Palindrome discovers that the tunnels lead to some volcano. He takes some pictures as evidence and sends them to Gary and Julius. Unfortunately, once he goes in deeper, it turns out to be a trap, as he’s ambushed by Moray’s ghost henchmen. Palindrome manages to successfully fight off some of the ghost henchmen, and then goes toe to toe with Moray.
Thankfully, Roscoe is able to successfully locate Gary and leads them to the rest of the gang. Gary goes to one of the female police officers and explains that they need to stop using the blowtorches. Otherwise, they are about to be in the middle of a crater if they don’t stop cutting. He lies to the officer by telling her that the hauler has a self-destruct function, and if breached, it will subsequently explode. The female officer then yells out at the other officers to shut it down, and Gary proceeds to order them to get the perimeter cleared because they are going in with their bomb-sniffing dog.
The gang is then able to successfully get out of the hauler and everyone sans Palindrome is able to meet back up. Gary and Julius then receive the pictures Palindrome sent.
Unbeknownst to them, Palindrome has been captured by Moray and is still at the volcano.
