HAVANA, CUBA

"We swap in parts from Fords, Plymouths, and Cadillacs," A man says in Spanish as he work on a car. "My grandfather bought it in 1957. When he died, it passed to my father. Then my brother, and now to me."
"That's amazing," Roselyn says in Spanish with a smile.
"Rose?" Dom says causing Roselyn to turn to see her brother and Letty.
"Dom! Letty!" Roselyn says before giving them both a hug. "What are y'all doing in Cuba?"
"Honeymoon," Letty answers her with a smile. "What about you?"
"Vacation," Roselyn says before motioning to the car she had been looking at. "Look at this," Roselyn tells them in Spanish with a smile on her face. "This is an engine from a boat."
"No way!" Letty says with a shocked smile.
"Yeah," The man says before speaking in Spanish. "Whatever it takes to keep it running."
"This is the Cuban spirit," Dom says with a smile still on his face before speaking in Spanish. "Your spirit. Don't ever lose that."
"Roselyn. Dom," A woman calls as she rushes over to them before speaking in Spanish. "It's your cousin. He's in trouble. Come on!"
"You know I can't make a living without my car," Their cousin, Fernando, tells a man.
"Not my problem, bro," The man, named Raldo, states with a shrug before he sees Dom and Roselyn. "Dominic Toretto and his sister, Roselyn Toretto, I heard about you both. Welcome to my island."
"Why you hookin' up my cousin's car?" Dom asks the man, who is attaching a chain to his cousin's car.
"He needed money, I gave it to him," Raldo answers Dom with a shrug. "He can't pay, I take the car."
"I just need a few more days," Fernando pleads with him.
"'Few more days' wasn't part of the deal," Raldo says with a shake of his head.
"Come on, Fed. You make a deal, you gotta live up to it," Roselyn tells their cousin as she pats him on the shoulder.
"You make a deal, you gonna live up to it," Raldo repeats causing Roselyn to look at him with a glare.
"'Gonna' live up to it?" Dom asks him as he glares at him as well. "Oh, so you're one of those types. You take everyone's ride, and then ship it back to the States?"
"You should show your people some respect," Letty says in Spanish.
"You watch your mouth," Raldo says as he points at Letty, causing her to laugh.
"Now you got a problem," Letty says with a smirk as Dom turns to face the man.
"I'm gonna keep it about the cars," Dom says as he points at the man.
"I'm really scared," Raldo says sarcastically in Spanish.
"You should be," Roselyn tells him with a smirk.
"You want a car, get it the right way," Dom tells him.
"How?" Raldo asks him.
"Race for it," Dom answers him.
"I already own it, bro," Raldo states.
"Not that car," Dom says as he points at his cousin's car before turning to point at his car. "Mine."
"Dom, his car is the fastest car on the island," Fernando says quickly. "Do you know what he has under that hood?"
"If he's a real racer then he knows it doesn't matter what's under a hood," Roselyn tells their cousin while glancing at Raldo in challenge. "The only thing that matters is who's behind the wheel."
"You think so?" Raldo asks her with a raised eyebrow.
"I know so," Dom answers him.
"Then race his car," Raldo challenges him. "And we ain't racing no quarter-mile, here. We race the Cuban mile."
"Done," Dom says accepting the challenge, causing the crowd to cheer.
