SHAWN AND GUS IN DRAG (RACING) (#5_5005)
EPISODE PREMIERE: August 11, 2010

LOGLINE:
When a member of a gang of car thieves turns up dead, Shawn and Gus must infiltrate a drag racing ring to find the killer. Shawn soon finds himself enjoying the fast lane too much, which not only endangers the investigation but also their lives.

SYNOPSIS:
An expensive sports car is hijacked by a masked person. Lassiter and Juliet get the call. And since Lassiter has been frustrated by his lack of progress breaking up a car theft ring, they decide to take lead on the case. The car thief they were chasing ends up shot dead somewhere along the route of the chase. Now they have a murder and a car theft ring to solve.

Back at SBPD, Lassie is investigating the murder. Shawn gets a "vision" and tells Lassie that the shooter was in a second car that had an altered VIN number. Jules tells everyone that the victim's name is Max Contreras, who has had dealings with an exotic car dealer named Logan Paget. Shawn and Gus are on the case with Henry's blessing, as long as they stay under the wire while they snoop around the "Fast and Furious" world of streetcar racing. Lassie is none too pleased with Shawn and Gus's involvement on the case, as he has been focused on cracking down on street racers for some time.

Lassie and Jules go to question Paget. Paget tells them that he hasn't talked to Contreras in weeks. He was the registered owner of the car that Max was driving. Paget claims the car was stolen, but Lassie and Jules question why he never reported it stolen.
