Samson's Surprise

"Samson's Surprise" is the second mission of the Westside Rollerz story arc in Saints Row.
==Overview==
Lin meets Playa in secrecy yet again, this time dancing in a nightclub, and congratulates them on a job well-done regarding their work on the previous mission, "Stacking the Deck". She says that after Playa delivered the vehicles to Samson, he loaded them up with explosives, before delivering them to the Westside Rollerz, who were none the wiser. The explosives in each vehicle are detonated when the engine reaches a high temperature, which can only be achieved when nitrous is activated. Conveniently, a race is taking place nearby, and Lin instructs Playa to take part - if he can hold steady in first place, the racers will activate their nitrous in an attempt to take over and win. She then thanks Playa for the dance, and tells them to leave for the race.
Outside the nightclub, Troy meets up with Playa and suggests a better, easier plan: taunting the Westside Rollerz racers into activating their nitrous. They use Troy's car, a Zircon, to accomplish exactly this, and, as Lin predicted, the cars explode.
===Story===
==Gameplay==
This second mission in the Westside Rollerz story arc, is another straight-forward one.
;
Troy pulls up in a Zircon. Get inside, wait for Troy to get into the passenger seat, and drive to the beginning of the race.
;
;
;
The objective is not to win the race, but to stay close to three enemy drivers as Troy taunts them. As he does, their individual taunt meters fill up - once they are full, the racers activate their nitrous; a fatal mistake that causes their cars to explode just moments later.
The race is fairly long, giving more than enough time to taunt all three racers easily. There is no need to pay attention to the race itself - simply stay close to a driver so Troy can taunt them into activating their nitrous, and repeat twice more.
The first Westside Rollerz territory is awarded upon completion of the level.
;Failure
The mission can be failed by getting Smoked or Busted, attacking the drivers before the race begins, allowing one or more of the Rollerz to complete the race or killing/abandoning Troy.

==Trivia==
* Lin states that the race takes place in Chinatown at night, despite the fact that it clearly takes place in the Suburbs, Arena, and Apartments Districts at any time of day.
* The subtitles in this cutscene say "nitrous", but Lin actually says "NOS", which is another term for nitrous oxide.
* Troy's Zircon can be destroyed with no penalty.
* The race uses the same route as the Level 8 Westside Rollerz Racing Activity.
* Troy refers to the race as "lap-race bullshit"; a lap race is when racers drive around a track multiple times - this is a checkpoint race.
* Troy notes his concern over Lin being undercover, stating, "you roll with people long enough [...] you start [thinking] like [them]". Troy is later revealed to be an undercover cop at the end of the game, giving this line some ambiguity; he may be worried about Lin thinking like the Westside Rollerz, and, perhaps, he's worried that he's thinking like the 3rd Street Saints.
* Driving between the flaming barrels is not required, and taking part in the actual race is completely optional.
* The weapon wheel is locked out once the race begins, preventing firing upon the opponents.
