Unlocks Havana Good Time

Umberto’s father is stranded across town and Umberto is too upset to drive. You take his car to the Stadium, collect the old man and bring him to his cafe without upsetting him.

Before you start

The Cuban Hermes is fire-proof, but rough driving still stresses Alberto.

The clock is running, so do not waste time on the way.

Objectives

  1. Get in Umberto’s car.
  2. Pick up Alberto at the Stadium.
  3. Get Alberto to the Cafe before it opens.
  4. Drive carefully, or his heart might give out!
  5. Sneak past the Cholos.

Papi Don’t Screech walkthrough

Umberto’s problem

Walk into the house and listen to Umberto, who is upset that his father is at the wrestling and Cholos are driving nearby. He refuses to let two thugs bring his father home, and he cannot drive in his state. Vic agrees to go himself and tells Umberto he owes him one for this.

The Stadium

Get into Umberto’s Hermes and drive to the Stadium marked on the radar.

Alberto

At the marker you meet Alberto. He says Vic is late and that his cafe has never opened late in twenty years. Now drive him to the cafe before it opens. A Stress bar shows how upset he is, and it rises when you crash, speed or take corners hard. Let off the throttle at junctions and take bends gently.

Past the Cholos

Cholos appear along the way, and Alberto cannot stand the stress of an attack. Avoid their cars rather than fighting, using side roads to stay out of sight. If you are spotted, you get a warning and the stress bar climbs fast. Keep your speed steady, stay away from the gang, and keep going.

The cafe

Pull up outside the cafe before it opens. Alberto climbs out, relieved, and walks in as the mission ends. You do not need to do anything more. After the pay screen, Umberto’s cutscene follows and Havana Good Time becomes available.
