**Epic Police Chase** is the fourth episode of the series and continues where the previous episode left off. In this episode, Hellhound and Sweeper are escaping from the police after getting rid of Andy. The chase causes many crashes while the two are trying to evade the police.

## ***Summary***

The police arrive (because of Andy's 911 phone call) just after Andy's Mustang tumbles down the cliff and crashes into traffic several hundred feet below. Hellhound and Sweeper decide to have some fun getting rid of the cops. Officer Mantas narrowly dodges being hit by Sweeper and a chase ensues. Hellhound pulls up next to Officer Mantas and drives beside him for a bit before pushing him onto a car trailer; Officer Mantas ramps off the trailer and lands on Sweeper's dry box trailer. At 2:14 PM, Officer Mantas catches on the lip of a tunnel and lands on Officer Connor. Officer Sagle and Officer Miles continue the chase as Officer Sagle calls for medical assistance. Hellhound attempts to overtake Sweeper but is forced back behind him by Benjamin Tam. Sweeper rams Dean and pushes him into an 8x8 cargo truck. Hellhound rams Officer Sagle and he ramps off a rock, crashing into the police helicopter which crashes into the cliff. Hellhound overtakes Sweeper. Officer Miles tries to get in front of Sweeper but it crushed between Sweeper and a white ETK 6000-Series Base.

Officer Gerkhan, Officer Gwen, and Sheriff Geronimo9 are waiting on top of a hill with a spike strip. Hellhound jumps over the spike strip and Officer Gerkhan pursues him. Sweeper goes around the spike strip, but half of the tires on his trailer are deflated by the spike strip and Officer Gwen and Sheriff Geronimo9 pursue him. Because the trailer is slowing him down, Sweeper detaches from the trailer; the trailer tips over and blocks the tunnel, and Officer Gwen wrecks trying to avoid it. Sheriff Geromino9 stops in time and drives down the hill. Detective Ivanore and Detective 55Buick block Hellhound; he shows no signs of moving and Detective 55Buick loses control avoiding him, crashing into Officer Gerkhan. Detective Ivanore chases Hellhound after making sure the other two are ok. Sweeper comes flying down the hill and clips Officer Gerkhan, sending him flying out of his car as the car fall down the hill and bursts into flames. Shortly after Detective Ivanore requests backup, Officer Gerkhan's flaming car falls onto the road in front of him and a white Gavril H35 flatbed transporting several haybales; Detective Ivanore swerves right and gets stuck on a rock as the H35 falls off the cliff and gets caught on a tree, the haybales and Officer Gerkhan's car falling further down onto a road that Officer John and two other officers are driving on. The officer in the Grand Marshal gets clipped by Officer Gerkhan's car and the officer in the SBR4 stops after hitting a haybale, and Officer John stops without a scratch. Sheriff Geronimo9 reaches the main road where he spots and pursues Hellhound as Sweeper descends a hill. Hellhound passes through the aftermath of the haybale accident and Officer John joins the chase. As Hellhound asks Sweeper if he's being chased, Fire crashes into a barrier trying to avoid him. Sweeper says that he doesn't see any cops as he gets back onto the road. Sweeper drive along a bridge closed for roadwork, ramming an orange Gavril H-Series off the bridge where it lands on the road Hellhound is on. Hellhound jumps over Officer FluffyOreoCX, and Officer John crashes into Officer Fluffy and Officer Fluffy flips upside down; Sheriff Geronimo9 crashes into Officer Fluffy and flips onto his side.

The police chase continues all the way to Trynelgren where Hellhound is surrounded by police units that includes another helicopter. Sweeper jumps down from a road overhead and clips the helicopter, which falls into a nearby gas station and causes a massive explosion that blows back all nearby cars. Hellhound takes the chance to flee as a few officers stop to help the wounded. Meanwhile a chrome Dodge Charger SRT-8 Police Interceptor overtakes two police cars to get to the scene.

Hellhound turns left onto the dam as the road is blocked by police. He drive over a pair of spikes, deflating all four tires. The police officer in the chrome Charger Interceptor is waiting at the other end of the dam. The episode ends with both vehicles accelerating and crashing into each other head-on.
