Auto mechanic and street racer Dominic "Dom" Toretto leads the new prospective member of his team/family, Brian Spilner, to his family home's garage where the former shows the latter some items that holds special feeling to the family including his beloved Dodge Charger that he said he had made with his father. While looking around, Brian then spots a picture of a man...
"That's my dad," Dom started explaining about the picture. "He was coming up in the pro-stock circuit. Last race of the season, he was coming into the final turn when a driver named Kenny Linder tapped his bumper and put him into the wall at a hundred and twenty miles an hour. I watched my father burn to death. I can still remember him screaming. The people who were there said my father died long before the tanks blew. They said it was me that was screaming". As Dom said these words, he then flashes back to that memory...
An 18-year old Dom watches his father, Antonio "Tony" Toretto, racing as #54 in the last stock car race of the season from the sidelines with his friends 18-year old Vince, 18-year old Leon, 16-year old Letty, 14-year old Jesse, and his 13-year old sister, Mia.
"Oh! Here's Dad!" Mia called out getting everybody's attention.
"Ok, he's passing #87," Leon observed.
"Now, he's passing #74," Jesse observed next getting all excited.
"I think he's going to win!" Letty assumed based on her opinion.
"Of course he's going to win! He's better than any of these losers!" Dom said letting his competitive behavior get to him a little bit.
"Um...Dom, that car's getting pretty close," Vince warned as he spotted a racing car that is centimeters away from Tony's car. The car is #28 which is a half-red and half-white with the name, "Kenny Linder", on it. Pretty soon, Kenny's car has accidentally hit the bumper of Tony's car which then got the latter car to swerve out of control.
"Uh...Dom, is Dad going to be okay?" Mia asked now very worried.
"I don't know, Mia!" Dom answered in an angry tone as he is also getting very worried. Tony's car then hit the wall then went ramming for those flammable tanks.
"Oh, my God! He's going hit those fire tanks!" Jesse reported. And indeed, Tony's car finally hit those flammable tanks which caused a huge explosion where everyone began screaming in horror and the race was stopped to check on the action.
"Daddy!" Mia screamed in horror as she began to mourn in tears in Letty's arms.
"Dad! Dad! Please! Please don't leave us!" Dom yelled, but it was no use. Tony's pit crew declared that Tony Toretto is dead. They even reported that he died right before those flammable tanks have exploded.
"Noooo!" Dom screamed in emotional pain. He thought that was his father's screaming voice, but everyone confirmed to him that it was indeed himself screaming as he still sees those flames pushing through.
