Frustrated at failing to capture The Driver, The Detective sets up an illegal sting. He offers two captured criminals – Glasses and Teeth – a deal: pull a bank heist, hire The Driver, and deliver him to the police. In return, they will not be arrested for either crime. The two seek out The Driver via The Connection, his middleman and fence. The Driver initially refuses to work with the men due to his dislike of guns, but agrees to meet with them. When his driving prowess is questioned, he systematically wrecks the criminals' car, then fights with Teeth, defeating him. Unable to convince The Driver to pull the job, The Detective confronts The Driver at his rented room, taunting him and challenging him to a 'game' between them. The Driver agrees to take part in the job on the condition that his fee is doubled, and that Teeth does not take part.
