00:01The cars are amazing.
00:03Fashion is so dramatic.
00:06The stunts are great.
00:07The music's off the hook.
00:09This show has it all.
00:14That's what's about Jim Ellis,
00:15who is a driver for a criminal kingpin
00:17in the Southwest in the early 70s.
00:19And Nina is the first black female FBI agent.
00:23The rookie who thinks she can take down
00:24a Southwest Al Capone, black and a woman.
00:27Fantastic.
00:28Nina is this balls to the wall,
00:31relentless FBI agent
00:33who's fresh out of Quantico.
00:34You're pretty intense.
00:36Because I play to win.
00:37I think having this female perspective
00:39and also knowing that LaToya is the one
00:41who created this world,
00:42I think that's a powerful way to look at the show.
00:45Jim is a key piece of the world
00:47because he is one of Saxon's most trusted
00:50and loyal employees.
00:52Nina is gonna target him to become an informant.
00:55Work with me to build a case
00:57against Ezra Saxton.
00:59Nina, I think, is expecting Jim to be the way in,
01:03but the people that she's going after are his family.
01:06I was attracted to the story,
01:08but I was really interested in these characters.
01:11It's a very character-driven piece.
01:16Honestly, it was like working together to figure out
01:18what do we want to say?
01:19What are the themes?
01:20Where do we want this crazy sort of cast of characters to go?
01:23And mapping it all out and then getting to execute it.
01:26J.J. wrote the first half.
01:27I wrote the second half.
01:28Then we sort of blended them together, traded.
01:30We talked about family a lot, actual family,
01:33and the families you make.
01:35We talked about loyalty.
01:36We talked about betrayal.
01:37I mean, even though we could not have had
01:40a more different upbringing and background,
01:42weirdly, we kept finding ourselves in agreement.
01:45You know, even when things weren't working,
01:47we didn't know how and kind of worked through it together.
01:49And it was always just sort of a fun discovery process.
01:51You were warned not to come back, asshole!
01:53Oh, hey there, Gavin!
01:55Josh Holloway, I've just always felt that he belonged in the 70s.
02:01There was just something about him in that role in a car in the desert.
02:05It just always stayed with me.
02:07The phone rings.
02:08And J.J.'s like, hi, Josh, it's J.J.
02:11And I said, yes, absolutely, I'm in.
02:13If J.J. Abram calls, you say, yeah.
02:16Josh just brings, like, this real Fonzie-level cool
02:21to everything that he does.
02:22And we knew that that's what we wanted Jim's character to be.
02:26I love doing stunts.
02:29That's my job.
02:30I'm a wheel man.
02:31I need to know how to drive, but really drive.
02:33So that's what I did.
02:34I took my own initiative, and I went and learned every trick in the book.
02:38So much fun.
02:39Asshole!
02:40Have a good day.
02:42Every episode, we tried to put something really special and unique
02:46that felt fun, not just for the time, but for the storytelling.
02:49I think the show is a balance of action and thriller and humor and heart.
03:00I'm a hero.
03:01This is the last part we received.
03:02I hope you are...
03:03in the future.
03:04Let's hope you start by making it simple.
03:05I will see you next time.
03:06I will see you next time.
03:07Bye-bye.
