It was while growing up with him that he first got into cars and street racing ( and other sorts of trouble ) . When Brian was only two months out of the Police Academy , his friend Roman Pearce was caught in a garage with eight stolen vehicles . Roman is later sent to jail then afterwards is on probation with an ankle monitor . He blamed Brian for the arrest although he had no knowledge of what had happened in the carjacking incident , but more as a form of betrayal as Brian had joined forces with the police force , an organization he opposed . After learning about Mia 's pregnancy and Dominic 's close relationship with his father , Brian later revealed that he never knew anything about his father since he was never in Brian 's life . Appearances The Fast and the Furious Main article : The Fast and the Furious ( 2001 film ) During the events of the first film , Brian is working as an undercover detective with the LAPD , who assigns him the task of solving a series of semi-trailer truck hijackings . He is given a very short amount of time to find the people responsible before the truckers start arming themselves with shotguns and taking matters into their own hands . Their only lead is a description of the vehicles used , black Honda Civics with green neon underglow . When investigating the street race scene , he then meets Dominic Toretto whose crew he later infiltrates , first as a rival racer , in a race which he loses , then as a member after helping Dom escape the police . While running with Dom , he proceeds to investigate rival race crews led by Johnny Tran ( Rick Yune ) and Hector ( played by Noel Gugliemi ) . He even goes as far as to organize and lead a large SWAT team into Johnny Tran 's house after finding large amounts of merchandise , the kind from the highway robberies , while infiltrating his garage . Although the merchandise is illegal , they find nothing on Tran except a few minor charges -- which leaves only Dom as a suspect . Brian soon finds out Toretto is responsible after watching him suddenly leave in the middle of a party at Race Wars and seeing Mia weeping to herself . He then reveals himself to Mia as a police officer and convinces her that if he does not get to her brother and his crew fast , they could get seriously injured or killed by the truckers who have begun to carry firearms . As Brian and Mia race out to stop Dominic from making another highway robbery , two of his drivers , Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez ) and Vincent , are injured in the process , with Letty rolling her car on the side of the road and Vincent being shot in the side by a shotgun from the truck driver who they tried to hijack . Brian saves Vincent only to reveal to Dom that he 's a cop . Brian later finds Dominic at his house attempting to look for Jesse ( played by Chad Lindberg ) when Tran and his accomplice roll up on their motorbikes pulling a drive by shooting on the Toretto house , narrowly missing everyone there except for Jesse who is killed in the process . Both men then drive after Tran and his accomplice , with Dom running the accomplice of the road while Brian fatally shoots Tran . Afterward he chases Dominic , who he then races resulting in Dominic winning closely just before he is hit by another car . After surviving his car rolling over , Brian later pulls him out of the wreckage only to give him the keys to his vehicle , claiming `` I owe you a ten second car '' ( the price he paid for losing the earlier race was his car ) . This leads to his aiding and abetting charge , resulting in his removal from the LAPD . The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious Main article : The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious Brian leaves Los Angeles before the LAPD gets chance to arrest him for letting Dominic escape . While the FBI launch a national manhunt for him , Brian travels across Arizona , New Mexico , and Texas , winning every street race he participates in , with his red Dodge Stealth . However , he is forced to ditch his car at a motel in San Antonio when police officers are notified of his presence . When they collect the car , he manages to hitch a ride from an unknown woman ( Minka Kelly ) , despite her knowing who he really is . She drops him at a used car lot , with him realizing she knows that he is a wanted man . There , he buys a green Nissan Skyline GT - R R34 . Later , collecting money from street races , he modifies the car with new rims and repaints it silver before traveling eastbound and winning more races on the way . Upon reaching Jacksonville , Florida , Brian heads south toward Miami . 2 Fast 2 Furious Main article : 2 Fast 2 Furious Brian , now living in Miami , Florida competes part time as a street racer for his friend Tej Parker ( Ludacris ) . While racing , he is caught by the local authorities and is facing jail time for his minor charges such as destruction of property ( while infiltrating Toretto in the first film ) and aiding and abetting Dominic Toretto . However , US Customs Agent Markham ( James Remar ) later gives him an offer to work undercover to infiltrate a local drug kingpin named Carter Verone ( Cole Hauser ) in exchange for a clean record . Seeing that they could not pin any charges on Verone until evidence of his payoff is in transit , O'Conner was in charge of being placed as a driver while undercover for Verone . Brian is given a partner named Dunn , who he quizzes regarding his knowledge of cars , and Dunn fails . Brian then proceeded to request his own driver , saying if he does n't get the driver he wants , he wo n't participate in the operation and take his chances in Chino . When Markham agrees to Brian 's terms , Brian and his old FBI boss , Agent Bilkins ( Thom Barry ) seek out his childhood friend Roman Pearce ( Tyrese Gibson ) who is now a Demolition Derby driver . Not being on good terms , they scuffle on the ground much like from their childhood days since Pearce is unhappy with Brian being a police officer , and was arrested two months after Brian got out of Police Academy for possessing eight stolen cars , which Pearce blames Brian for , despite his knowing nothing about it . He is able to convince Pearce to accept the deal . After the agreement is settled , Bilkins and Markham then introduce Brian and Roman to Monica Fuentes ( Eva Mendes ) , an undercover US Customs agent working with Carter . Brian and Roman are then given there cars . Brian drives a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII , and Roman drives a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder . While infiltrating Carter Verone , both men are successful in getting into the organization , aided by Monica Fuentes . Monica , who has fallen in love with Brian , warns him that Verone intends to kill them at the end of their mission . Now the stakes are that if they fail , they go to jail or if they succeed , they get executed . With those choices , both men hatch a scheme to avoid jail time and being shot dead . Pearce reconciles with Brian , accepting that his arrest was not his fault . With help from Tej , they orchestrate a `` scramble '' -- after driving into a garage they later have hundreds of race cars coming out , having switched cars with Tej and Suki ( Devon Aoki ) while in the garage . The cars they later move out in are outfitted with ejection seats to rid themselves of unwanted guests . Brian is forced to meet up with Verone , but after beating up Carter 's henchman ( with help from Pearce ) he proceeds to do a classic car jump onto Verone 's boat . Afterward they arrest Verone and are off the hook . He and Monica exchange a meaningful glance , and the end scene is shown between O'Conner and Pearce walking away with their pockets full of Verone 's drug money planning to open up a high performance garage . Fast & Furious Main article : Fast & Furious Paul Walker reprises his role as Brian O'Conner in the fourth installment of the film series . This film takes place after the events of The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious , much before the events of Tokyo Drift . Brian O'Conner , now a fully reinstated FBI Agent is given the task of bringing down Arturo Braga , a known trafficker in Los Angeles and his connections to the street racing world . Brian is also not surprised to see Dominic Toretto doing a Suge Knight style balcony interrogation of possible lead David Park . Brian knows that it is because of Letty 's recent murder that Dominic has returned to get answers . Also , it was Brian who was contacted by Letty with her proposal to infiltrate Braga 's organization in exchange for Dom 's safe return to Los Angeles . Despite being a full agent again , he is still seen doing his trademark bending the rules and occasionally breaking them to solve the case . Brian and Dom both infiltrate Braga 's crew , neither aware of who Braga really is . After having the FBI do a fingerprint database search for Braga , it turns up to be the messenger Campos but not before an FBI Agent envious of O'Conner sends in a SWAT team ( possibly intentional in ruining the bust as the agent responsible was at odds with O'Conner ) forcing Braga to go back into hiding . Later , as O'Conner and Dominic go into Mexico to search for Braga , they are given a tip off by one of Braga 's people , in this case , one of his females named Giselle Harabo ( Gal Gadot ) who has taken an attraction to Dom . Brian and Dom successfully apprehend Carlos Braga after doing a series of follow ups in Mexico and helps Dom kill Fenix Rise ( Laz Alonso ) , who is responsible for Letty 's death , by holding his ankles while Dominic impales him with a henchman 's ' 73 Chevy Camaro F - Bomb , and is even present at Dominic 's trial when he is given a sentence of `` 25 years to life without the possibility of early parole '' . Despite Dom 's sentencing , Brian , Mia , and two of Dom 's Latino accomplices from the beginning of the film ( Leo and Santos , played by Don Omar and Tego Calderón respectively ) are seen driving towards his prison bus in similar style to Dominic 's heists about to bust him free , which later leads to Dominic 's appearance in Tokyo , Japan during the end film events of The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift . There is no mention of the fate regarding his plans for opening an automotive shop with childhood friend Roman Pearce in Miami . It is also revealed in this film why he let Dominic go in the first film -- that he respected Dominic more than he did himself , and perhaps due to the fact that his raid on Tran 's estate indirectly caused Jesse 's death . During the course of the film , Brian also rekindles his old romance with Mia Toretto , Dominic 's younger sister . After seeing her in an FBI interrogation room , he releases her , and the two go out for coffee . During the conversation they share , she reveals her anger at his `` betrayal '' of their group at the end of the first film , questions why he let Dom go ( to which Brian claims he does n't know ) , and tells him how hurt she was when he left her suddenly , with no explanation . While Brian initially puts professional distance between himself and Mia , he finally admits to her that leaving her was the hardest thing he ever did , and later , when Mia breaks down , Brian comforts her , resulting in a passionate reunion between the two . Fast Five Main article : Fast Five O'Conner and Toretto get caught in a crossfire with corrupt businessman and ruthless drug lord Hernan Reyes 's in Rio de Janeiro and plot to steal all of Reyes ' money to buy their freedom . It is revealed in Fast Five that O'Conner's father was not there for him and O'Conner does not know anything about him , unlike the close bond that Toretto 's father had with both his children . He is often worried that he will behave in the manner that his father did , but Toretto reassured him that he wo n't because he will keep an eye on him if he does . O'Conner had been in juvenile detention with Roman before he became a cop . O'Conner has also rekindled his relationship with Mia , and she becomes pregnant with his child . Fast & Furious 6 Main article : Fast & Furious 6 O'Conner , Toretto , and Mia live peacefully in the Canary Islands in Spain , where Mia gives birth to their son . O'Conner joins Toretto 's team in complying with the request of Agent Hobbs to take down rival gang leader Owen Shaw . When the team realizes that Braga worked for Shaw , O'Conner decides to enter the United States to interrogate him about Shaw . After successfully questioning Braga and returning to London , O'Conner starts to feel guilty for letting Letty go undercover , which led to her amnesia and subsequent work for Shaw . The group captures Shaw and convinces Letty to side with them . O'Conner apologizes to Letty , who says that she might not remember him , but if she did work for him , she would have done of her own free will . Shaw reveals that he had captured Mia , leading to a high - speed chase after Shaw 's airplane , where Mia is rescued and Shaw is crippled and put into a coma . Hobbs then grants the group 's amnesty , and the entire crew move back to America , where Mia , Toretto and O'Conner have decided to reside in the old Toretto home . Furious 7 Main article : Furious 7 Brian and the rest of the crew return to the U.S. and live normal lives again . Brian begins to accustom himself to life as a father , but misses the old life he once enjoyed . Meanwhile , Dom learns from his sister , Mia , that she is pregnant again , but fears to tell Brian because of his longing for missing the bullets . However , their house is destroyed by Deckard Shaw , brother to Owen Shaw , who has come out of hiding for vengeance , which forces Brian , Roman , Tej , Letty and Dom to go after him . Before leaving , Brian makes a promise to Mia that after Shaw is dealt with , he will dedicate himself to his family . To rescue Ramsey , a hacker who has a device known as ' God 's Eye ' that can locate anyone on Earth , the team airdrops their cars over the Caucasus Mountains and ambush Jakande 's convoy and rescue Ramsey , finding out that she is a young woman . They then head to Abu Dhabi , where a billionaire has acquired the flash drive containing God 's Eye . The team break into his penthouse and manage to steal the flash drive . On the both occasions , the team is pursued by Shaw , who engages in combat with Dom , with the team barely managing to escape . With God 's Eye , the team manages to track down Shaw , who is waiting at a remote factory . Dom , Brian and Mr. Nobody , along with a covert ops unit , attempt to capture Shaw but are ambushed by Jakande and Jakande 's militants , who have allied with Deckard . After the ambush , Nobody 's men are killed and Nobody is injured , though he manages to escape with Toretto and Brian , while Jakande obtains God 's Eye . Nobody warns Brian and Dom that Jakande will use God 's Eye to hunt down Ramsey , who is the only one who can destroy it . They drive off , leaving Nobody behind to be evacuated by one of his ' stand - by ' helicopters . Left with no other choice , the team return to Los Angeles to fight Shaw , Jakande and his men on their home turf . Dom plans to confront Shaw alone while Brian and the rest of the crew prepare to deal with Jakande . Just as they are preparing , Brian calls Mia and professes his love , fearing he may not survive , and learns that she is pregnant with a baby girl , motivating him to come back alive . While Jakande pursues Brian and the rest of the crew with a stealth attack helicopter and a UAV , using God 's Eye to track down Ramsey , they barely survive and manage to shut down God 's Eye with Brian 's help to establish a connection for Ramsey to hack it . In the aftermath , Hobbs kills Jakande by shooting the bag of grenades that Dom managed to throw inside the helicopter , while also taking out the UAV . Deckard is defeated by Dom and imprisoned . Finally at peace , the team celebrate at the beach . While Brian and Mia play with their son , Dom , Letty , Ramsey , Roman and Tej observe , appreciating their happiness and acknowledging that Brian is better off retired with his family . Dom silently leaves , not wanting to disturb the happy moment and drives off . Brian notices and manages to catch up to him , asking Dom `` You thought you could leave without saying goodbye ? '' As he pulls up beside Dom 's car in his white Toyota Supra they look at each other and smile , then bid each other farewell as Brian turns off the main road , and Dom continues on ahead . The Fate of the Furious Main article : The Fate of the Furious Brian does not appear in The Fate of the Furious , but he , alongside Mia , is seen in a photo in Dom 's car . He is also mentioned by Roman and Letty as when Dom betrays the team , Roman suggests that Brian be called to help them figure out why Dom betrayed them . But Letty reminded him that they all agreed to keep Brian and Mia retired from the team due to them wanting a normal life and for the safety of their children . Dom later names his son after Brian . Character , traits and abilities His charismatic , level - headed personality often contrasts with Toretto 's aggressive behavior . Despite his composure , Brian is a secret adrenalin junkie ; once , he confides in Dom ( when describing the challenges of fatherhood ) that he misses the dangerous lifestyle . He is also shown to be brave , particularly when protecting friends or loved ones by making seemingly lethal , impulsive or courageous decisions . O'Conner was first unknown with the car tuning community , but after with meeting Toretto , he became more positive , active in the racing scene , becoming a skilled mechanic . He is very interested in tuners , especially Nissan Skyline models . He owned two Nissan Skyline GT - R R34 's ( one in the second movie and one in the fourth ) , Nissan C10 Skyline and finally a Nissan GT - R . Apart from Skylines , he has owned : a tuned Mitsubishi Eclipse in the first film ( but it 's hinted this was paid for by the LAPD - FBI task force he had gone undercover for ) , a Lancer Evo , a Subaru ( twice ) and a Supra ( twice ) .

His replacement on Saint Marie is DI Jack Mooney , played by Ardal O'Hanlon . Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Death in Paradise episodes Series Episodes Originally aired Ave .

The show is known for its formulaic approach to its plots with each episode roughly the same in both style and narrative structure . Each episode begins with a pre-credits sequence showing the events leading up to a murder , and often the discovery of the body afterwards ; this sequence also serves to introduce that particular episode 's guest characters . The police force of Saint Marie are subsequently informed of the murder , preliminary investigations and interviews take place to establish the suspects and photographs of the suspects and crime scene are placed on the whiteboard at police headquarters . Often towards the end , the lead DI will have a moment of realisation , perhaps brought on by something that someone says or does or by some occurrence . In this moment , the how , why , and who of the murder are comprehended by the DI , but are not revealed to the audience . The suspects are then all gathered together and the DI talks through the evidence ; often , flashbacks are used to show what happened . The murderer and the motive are revealed in the dénouement of the episode . Normally , each episode ends with a comedic scene or a celebratory trip by the police force to Catherine 's bar . The final episode of most series has included a subplot wherein the lead DI is tempted to return to the UK by the prospect of a job offer or personal relationship , but in the end , he decides to remain on the island . This format was subverted in the sixth series when the two - part storyline in the fifth and sixth episodes saw the team travel to London to follow up on a current case , resulting in then - lead detective Humphrey Goodman deciding to remain to be with his new girlfriend ; D.I. Jack Mooney travelled back to Saint - Marie , initially as a holiday , but decided to remain as the new detective inspector of the island in the series finale . Setting ( edit ) Saint Marie ( edit ) Main article : Saint Marie ( fictional island ) Death in Paradise is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie , described in Episode 3.3 as a `` pretty island '' that is `` situated in the Eastern Caribbean Sea '' and `` one - tenth the size of its north - west neighbour Guadeloupe '' ; this would make Saint Marie about 63 square miles ( 160 km ) in size . Saint Marie is a British Overseas Territory , but about 30 % of its people are French , due to previous history , with the language still widely spoken . The back - story appears to be a blend of two real - world islands near to Guadeloupe , with size and location aligning with Marie - Galante and history and language aligning with Dominica . In the TV show , the fictional Saint Marie island has a volcano , rainforest , sugar plantations , a fishing harbour , an airport , a university , a convent , approximately 100 public beaches and a Crown Court . It also has its own newspaper , The Saint Marie Times . Honoré , the main town , has a leisure / commercial marina , market , bars , and restaurants as well as the police station . The neighbouring town to Honoré is named as Port Royal . Saint Marie 's main economic ties are to Guadeloupe , the UK , and France . The island 's main religions are Catholicism and Voodoo , with several religious festivals featuring in the programme , including the Saint Ursula Festival ( in reality , a major festival of the Virgin Islands ) and some Voodoo festivals . Other locations ( edit ) Episode 3.7 is largely set on an islet just off Saint Marie ; it is privately owned and relatively small . This episode was actually filmed on the island of Kahouanne , around 1.2 miles ( 1.9 km ) off the north - west coast of Guadeloupe where the series is normally filmed . It can often be seen in the background from a beach on Saint Marie . Episodes 6.5 and 6.6 are largely set in London when DI Goodman , DS Cassell and Officer Myers form a liaison team with future lead DI Jack Mooney in order to track down suspects in a murder investigation in Saint Marie , and later to investigate the murder of one of the suspects .

Production ( edit ) Deshaies ' church is right next to the fictional `` Honoré police station '' . The series is filmed on the French island of Guadeloupe in the Lesser Antilles , mainly in the commune of Deshaies ( which doubles for the town of Honoré on the fictional island of Saint Marie ) , with the help of the Bureau d'accueil des tournages de la Région Guadeloupe . The site of the Honoré police station is a church hall in Deshaies with the priest 's office appearing as the incident room . Miller left the series at the start of series 3 , as he felt he was spending too much time away from his family since his wife was unable to join him on the island during production . Marshall 's family joined him on the island during his first three six - month shoots and his son Thomas enrolled at a local school . When his family did not join him during the filming of the sixth season , following the birth of his baby daughter Elsie , it left him feeling `` bereft and empty '' and he quit the show . From episode 7 of the sixth season the lead role was taken by Ardal O'Hanlon playing DI Jack Mooney , a London colleague .

Gen. John B. Floyd crossed the Gauley River and surprised the 7th Ohio Infantry under Col. Erastus Tyler at Kessler 's Cross Lanes . Outnumbered , Tyler 's inexperienced men routed , and Floyd camped near Carnifex Ferry . The Confederates began throwing up entrenchments on the Henry Patteson farm ( located on the rim of the Gauley River Canyon near Summersville ) . Concerned about Floyd 's drive to reclaim the Kanawha Valley , Union Brigadier General William S. Rosecrans led three brigades of infantry southward from Clarksburg to support Tyler 's regrouped regiment . Moving into position on the afternoon of September 10 , Rosecrans advanced against Floyd 's campsite and attacked . The Confederate lines repulsed the attacks and the Federal casualties were significantly higher than the defenders . The strength of Rosecrans 's artillery proved to be problematic however , and Floyd decided to retreat that night across the ferry to the south side of the Gauley River . He subsequently moved eastward to Meadow Bluff near Lewisburg . Floyd , seeking to deflect the blame , placed the responsibility for the defeat on his co-commander Brigadier General Henry A. Wise , furthering the dissension that marked the Confederate high command in western Virginia . Battlefield preservation ( edit ) In October 1935 , the battlefield was preserved as Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park .
