Some traditions

you have to take 'em with you,

no matter what.

They're in your blood.

They're part of you.

So, we took hydraulics

out of fighter jets.

See a cop! Raise it up!

Pass a cop, drop it back down.

Think mom would like it?

Welcome to

the big chele invitational!

Hey, what's up? You don't take

no time off or what?

- You like it?

- It's alright.

Alright? Come on.

No, I'm proud of it.

Yo, the five o.

Good luck tonight, Danny.

Thank you.

Mr. Alvarez.

Hello, detective.

Looking good.

Thank you.

You don't think ghost

would show up, do you?

I don't know.

I hope not.

Excuse me, is this your car?

My son built it.

How much?

To buy it?

I'm sorry. It's not for sale.

If you could name a price.

Any price.

I will write a check right now.

Francisco, what are you doing?

The police are here.

I don't give a sh*t

about the cops.

You think I got

something to lose?

They're gonna arrest me

either way.

It doesn't have to be that way.

I don't want to lose you again.

I want you to tell me why.

Why you never came to see me.

I already told you, Francisco.

That's not good enough.

I didn't, I didn't come

because... I was ashamed.

Stop bullshitting me!

Not of you.

Of myself.

Listen to me.

This is my family's ride.

Sorry, it ain't for sale.

I understand.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Take it easy.

No, no, no! You don't know.

No! We can't leave him alone!

Ghost.

Get out.

You're my brother.

I'm not gonna leave you.

Oh, sh*t!

Look, ghost, it's not too late,

man! Just pull over!

Why didn't you just

listen to me?

I told you to get out!

We need to get over the bridge.

Oh, sh*t!

Freeze! Put your hands

where I can see them!

Driver, passenger! Get your

hands where I can see them!

Driver! Get the keys

and put them outside the window!

Driver,

i will not repeat myself!

This is where you get out,

brother.

No.

You gotta take care

of yourself now, Danny.

No.

Ghost, no. Don't do this!

Please, don't!

Come here.

Ghost, don't do this!

Come on, don't do this.

You don't have to do this.

Please!

But you gotta get out.

Go. Get out.

It's all good.

Lower the gun

on the ground, sir!

Slowly, get down on the ground!

Put your hands up

where we can see them!

Driver get on your knees

and put your hands up!

Driver put your hands up

on your head!

Interlock your fingers!

Driver put your hands up!

Driver! Put your hands

above your head!

Do not take one more step

forward or I will shoot you!

I didn't come see you

because I was a coward.

I was afraid.

I'm right here.

I'm sorry, son.

Please... forgive me.

Holy Mary, mother of god.

Pray for us sinners now

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

I know I haven't talked

to you in a while.

I guess I just didn't know

what to say.

And everything was

kind of messed up.

The day of the big chele show...

Changed my life.

The car that we named

after you, people loved it.

And we had

some pretty big offers.

I thought it should

stay in the family.

And pops...

Pops got crazy work.

He even hired chuy full time.

And the best part

people from all over are paying

me to paint their lowriders.

I guess

I'm a full-time artist now.

Just like you thought

I'd always be.

Who would have thought

I'd be working with pops

and be doing what I love?

I just wish

you were here to see it.

I hope I make you proud.

I love you, mom.

Selfie.

There you go.

Okay. Alright.

You look so pretty.

Oh, my god!

Okay guys, come on,

we got to get going now.

We better hurry,

the sun is going down!

Where are we gonna go?

Right here.

Okay, guys, we're gonna go

over here.

We're gonna go right there.

All the way down?

I know, I know, I'm sorry.

You look cute together.

Turn around right there.

I love you.

You know that, right?

Do you love me

more than your Chevy?

Oh!

Umm!

Hello, son.
