**Epic Chase Leads To Freeway Disaster** is the fifteenth episode of the series and the fifth episode of the second season. In this episode, the Hellgang plots a revenge attack against Falcon's Gang for the events on American Road approximately a year ago. The events in this episode take place a little over a month after the heist in Italy.

## ***Summary***

The episode begins with Hellhound, Savage, and Black Widow driving towards Inertia's Service Center in Utah, where Rebel and Inertia are already waiting. Just as Hellhound plans to call Sweeper to find out where he is, he spots Falcon and Hunter making a stop at the nearby gas station and decides to make a move for revenge. After they leave the gas station, Hellhound, along with Savage, follows them to their safehouse.

Later at night, they inform the rest of the Hellgang about the safehouse and makes a move. After spotting Sithis, Sweeper and Rebel cautiously sneak around the safehouse and overhear the gang discussing about transporting the "toy" that is worth over a million dollars through the Freeway via Route 54, which happened to have Inertia’s Service Center. Sweeper plants a small bomb on Sithis' tire that comes with a tracker (as well as leaving a small "surprise" for Simna). They leave the area minutes later. Back at the Service Center, the Hellgang discusses on how to steal the "toy" Sweeper mentioned. Sweeper comes up with a plan and makes a phone call to Luca.

The next day, Black widow spies on the safehouse of Falcon's gang, noting that most of them have left early, though there is still at least one car at the safehouse. Rebel then activates the small bomb, causing Sithis' tire to burst. Inertia arrives a few minutes later to tow Sithis' truck back to the Service Center for repairs. While undergoing repairs, Hellhound, Savage, and Luca block the view of Sithis' trailer to allow Sweeper to switch the trailers. The plan was a success, until Sweeper's tire unexpectedly bursts. The trailer ramp opens while Hellhound and Sweeper attempt to repair the tire; the two realize that an SRT Tomahawk X (which was seized by Falcon in Italy, albeit painted black) is inside the trailer. Hellhound unsuccessfully tries to close the trailer before helping Sweeper on repairing the tire. Once Sithis' truck is repaired, he, Hunter, and Diablo leave the Service Center, while Falcon, Howitzer, and Simna depart the safehouse around the same time.

This is where the Hellgang's luck turns around when Black Widow informs Sweeper and Hellhound that Falcon, Howitzer, and Simna, are heading towards their location. Expecting to be caught in a few seconds, Hellhound enters the Tomahawk and waits inside the trailer, at which Sweeper realized they could’ve just switched out the trucks in order to continue moving the trailer, which Hellhound responds with “You’re telling me this now?!”. After Falcon and Howitzer drives past them, Simna spots the open trailer as Hellhound predicted, resulting in the two fleeing from the scene. Falcon eventually notifies the rest of his team that the Tomahawk was stolen. The ensuing chase creates an accident involving a police officer, who requested backup. Hellhound is being chased by Falcon; Hunter and Diablo pursues Rebel (with Savage close by); Sweeper is being followed by Sithis and Howitzer; and Black Widow is keeping Simna busy by distracting her. Diablo chases Rebel through an abandoned mineshaft, followed by the cops responding to the situation (most of them crash during the chase).

Hunter attempts to flee when his vehicle is taken down by HellCop, killing him instantly. Detective Ivanore and Officer Jamie are among the officers going after Rebel and Diablo, but both make a wrong turn, causing Officer Jamie's car to fall into an underground and Ivanore's car hanging on the cliffside. Eventually, an officer (later revealed to be Nate) arrives at the tunnel, but instead of helping Ivanore, he pushes his car into the water, drowning the detective. HellCop and Detective Max pursue Hellhound. Officer Siege and another officer join them and traps him at an unfinished bridge. However, Hellhound manages to gain enough speed and make the jump, therefore evading the pursuit. Falcon, watching the scene from the side of the road, tells his gang that they have to capture one member of the Hellgang or else the Tomahawk is gone for good. Later on, Diablo backs off from chasing Rebel when he crashes into a mobile trailer. Meanwhile, Savage loses the cops by making a police vehicle collide with a turboprop cargo plane. The plane then crashes on a highway that Sweeper, Sithis and Howitzer are on moments later. Sweeper and Sithis plow through stopped traffic ahead of them due to a roadblock put in place by the cops; the former makes a right turn at an intersection not long after. As Simna and Sithis try to turn around, the former's vehicle is blown up by the bomb Sweeper planted the day before, forcing the team to halt the chase and escape from the scene. ScarFace (name was not revealed in this episode) arrives seconds later after taking down Officer Dom, who is chasing them.

In the evening, after Inertia hides the Tomahawk and Sweeper's truck, the Hellgang meets at a secluded area. Sweeper mentions that the chase was fun for him. However, this irritates Savage as fourteen people died when he and Sithis plowed through the police blockade; Sweeper commending Savage for taking down a plane doesn't help matters either, and the latter leaves in a huff. Rebel follows Savage moments later, and during their conversation, it's revealed that Savage was haunted by the jobs that caused the death of many innocent people up to this point and wishes that the Hellgang could do one job without killing anyone.

HellCop arrives at the entrance of the mineshaft where Detective Max is at. He asks if there were any good news regarding the officers involved in the chase, to which Max said there isn't any. He proceeds to note that the death of Detective Ivanore wasn't an accident. HellCop learns that Nate was responsible for killing Ivanore, as well as several instances where he did not stop any of the members within the Hellgang. It is believed Nate intends on leaving the police force when his association with the Hellgang becomes known to the police.

The flashbacks/hints revealing Nate as the traitor are as follows:

* **When given the chance, Nate did not attempt to stop the Hellgang.** In Explosive Chain Reaction, Nate was the first to show up on the scene where Black Widow was attacked by Andy. Despite knowing that the Hellgang was wanted by the police, he did not attempt to stop them, as he was working closely with them. The reasoning he gave HellCop and Ivanore was, "I was alone, people needed help, so I didn't confront them. They even helped other survivors after the helicopter took their friend to the hospital." The flashback shows Nate's apology to HellCop and Ivanore, saying "I'm sorry I didn't try to stop them."
* **He alerted the Hellgang to the police's attempts to stop them.** This flashback is quite simple, as it shows a scene from Epic Police Chase 2, where Nate and multiple other officers have set up a roadblock to stop Hellhound. Nate informed, "Be advised, there are spikes in the middle of the road as you approach the roadblock." This message serves to inform both the police and the Hellgang, as Hellhound thanks Nate for the heads up. After Hellhound evaded the spikes with Nate's message via a narrow passage that was left unblocked, Rebel also approached the narrow passage. It is revealed in the flashback that Nate was the officer who "tried" to block the passage but ended up having his unit taken down by Rebel. Afterwards, Nate noted, "Sorry, I had to do it."
* **Nate gives them confidential information.** A few clips from Police Convoy Assault, such as Officer Viper's Sunburst being flipped by Savage, Officer Robert and Dave being shoved into Sweeper's trailer, and then HellCop's statement from the end of the episode saying, "Someone helped them." are shown. This implies that Nate told the Hellgang about the convoy in which Black Widow was being transferred.

Meanwhile, Falcon and his remaining team members meet up at an abandoned port when they notice ScarFace dropping off Simna and Sithis. They plan to retaliate against the Hellgang after ScarFace claims to know where to find them.

## ***Errors***

In *The Italian Job*, Falcon says that there is only one SRT Tomahawk in the world. However according to Sweeper, he says that there were a few Tomahawks. Although this could mean that by the time between *The Italian Job* and *Epic Chase Leads to Freeway Disaster*, a new SRT Tomahawk has been made. It is unlikely for a new model to be produced right after the events of *The Italian Job*, since it would take months to build one. Moreover, a second Tomahawk can be seen driven by an unknown driver at Los Injurus in *Seconds From Disaster* S02E05. It is likely this difference was due to Falcon having faulty memory. Falcon even said that **if he was correct**, there was only one SRT Tomahawk in the world, which can infer that he didn’t check his information carefully enough.

Another error is Hellhound driving the Tomahawk. The SRT Tomahawk X generates so much downforce that the driver can experience up to 10 sustained lateral g, far much more than modern Formula One cars and even fighter jets. A special g-suit is required, which controls the blood flow of the driver to prevent G-LOC from the extreme forces exerted by the car. It is possible that Hellhound didn't drive the Tomahawk fast enough to cause G-LOC, although Falcon drives it at high speed on the freeway in Italy. The g-suit may have already been inside the car and both drivers wore it. In the S02E05 stream chat, FrIz said to "pretend that the g-suit was in the trailer," so this was most likely an oversight from the YouTuber. However, according to Gran Turismo's page about the Tomahawk, an intensive 7-month training program is required to drive the car even with the help of the g-suit, and "only the fittest drivers are considered."

## ***Trivia***

* According to FrIzErIs, he spent 6 weeks of recording and 5 weeks of editing for this episode. 1117 clips have been recorded, with 132 GB of footage. 103 vehicles have been damaged or destroyed. It's worth noting that FrIz was involved in an accident that left him with a broken arm while making the episode.
* 61 users from the official BeamNG forums (including 5 users as the main characters) were featured in this episode.
* Originally the intro scene was much longer.
* According to FrIzErIs on Discord, the stolen Tomahawk ended up getting sold off-screen.
* Savage refers to Hellhound's Charger as a "boat", which is a term used for heavy cars.
* Savage's real name was revealed to be Ryan.
	+ In a reply to a YouTube comment, FrIzErIs suggested that he might reveal everyone's real name in the future.
* The flashback where Sweeper goes on rampage with a ramp attached to his truck was actually the Hellgang imagining what Sweeper is doing.
* Several Easter eggs and references can be seen in this episode, which includes the following:
	+ A reference to Hellhound's chrome Dodge Charger from Season 1 can be seen.
	+ The K.I.T.T car from *Knight Rider* can be seen during the beginning of the movie and during the chase in which the car crashed. However, the post-credit reveals the car survives and drives away as if nothing happened.
	+ The same Abarth 124 Spider from The Italian Job can be seen.
	+ Several vehicles from the *Grand Theft Auto* universe, such as the Bugstars van and the semis Hellhound and Savage used, can be seen. This might be a throwback that FrIzErIs used to make GTA 5 videos.
	+ Hellhound's Dodge Viper that was previously damaged in S02E03 makes an appearance; however, it's still in repair considering its been a year ever since the attack on American Road took place.
	+ Fire, the most unlucky character, returns after his truck destroyed by Howitzer. (Reply in the comment F to pay Respects for Fire)
	+ The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in the roadblock that Sweeper and Sithis plow into has a Redview County livery, which is a reference to *Need For Speed Rivals*.
	+ The bus from the movie *Speed* can be seen after Falcon losing track of Hellhound. The license plate is written "SPEED", in which it's a direct reference to the movie. The scene where Hellhound jumps through the unfinished bridge is also a reference to the movie, except he uses a Tomahawk instead of a bus.
	+ The tunnel chase might be a reference to the fourth *Fast & Furious* tunnel chase scene.
	+ Inertia's dialogue mentioning the "Brotherhood of muscle" is a direct reference to the Dodge car commercials.
	+ The prison bus from one of the *Jailbreak* episodes can be seen.
	+ Sweeper sings Ludacris' song *Move B\*\*\*h* as he rams through some police cars.
	+ As with the rest of the episodes in Season 2, several vehicles promoting FrIzErIs via liveries can be seen in this episode.
