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.

01:32Actual family and 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!

01:54Josh 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 and J.J.'s like,

02:09Hi, 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.

02:28That's my job.

02:29I'm a wheel man.

02:30I need to know how to drive, but really drive.

02:32So that's what I did.

02:34I took my own initiative,

02:35and I went and learned every trick in the book.

02:37So much fun.

02:39Asshole!

02:40Have a good day.

02:41Every episode, we tried to put something really special and unique

02:45that 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.

02:55I think the idea, as well, you know.

02:58devil, you know, we do are just better.

03:00I'll find it right.

03:01Bye.

03:03Yeah.

03:05You
