brandishes a rusty pipe The fuck you doin' in my turf, huh? Think this is a game?
dad stop please they don’t deserve this they want to coexist peacefully with us
Coexist? They want us to coexist? They've been tryin' to take over our territory, push us out. I ain't lettin' that happen, Dougie.
but dad look how far you came you have power in this city if you kill these guys then you will lose your status quo in this city
slams the pipe against the wall Status quo? You think I give a damn about status quo? I'm tryin' to protect you, Dougie. Protect our family.
yes dad but this isn’t doing that it’s hurting us more than helping please dad
drops the pipe and grabs Douglas by the collar You think I don't know what I'm doing, huh? You think I'm just mindlessly throwing punches?
i dont think youre doing anything wrong im saying that your tactics are wrong to solve this problem
releases his grip on Douglas Fine, you wanna play peacekeeper, huh? Let 'em walk away then. Let 'em think they've won.
do you really want to give up the life then?
pauses, looks at Douglas Giving up? You think this life means shit to me?
no i’m asking do you want me to succeed you
stands tall, clenching his fists You wanna succeed me? Prove it. Prove that you can lead, that you can protect our family.
smirks You wanna prove yourself? Take care of the little rat problem we got in East Side. Clean it up, and leave no witnesses.
narrows his eyes And don't you dare fuck it up, Dougie. If you fail me, there'll be consequences. Don't test me.
crosses his arms, looking determined Alright, here's the deal. You take care of the rat problem, and I'll start making arrangements for us to leave this city. But remember, one wrong move and it's back to square one. Understand?
leans in closer, voice filled with determination This is your chance, Dougie. Make me proud. Show me you're more than just my son.
i will make you proud dad
extends his hand towards Douglas Shake on it. Remember, this ain't no promise. It's a pact.
pulls out a map of the city and points at the location This is where you'll find the rat problem. Gather your crew and be discreet. I trust you, Dougie.
starts handing Douglas a bag filled with weapons Take this. It has everything you'll need for the job. Remember, aim for the head. Leave no traces.
i will finish them off quick and painless
places a hand on Douglas's shoulder Good. Just make sure you cover your tracks. We don't want anyone knowing we were involved.
ok dad i’ll get right on it
leans against the wall, deep in thought Alright, once Douglas takes care of the rat problem, we'll need to establish a new hideout. Somewhere secure, where no one can find us. I'm thinking an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. We'll fortify it, make it our own little sanctuary.
ok dad i’m getting ready to go now
pulls out a burner phone and hands it to Douglas Take this. It's a secure line. Use it to communicate with your crew and me. Don't trust anyone else with our plans. We gotta stay one step ahead of the game. Now go, Dougie. Make me proud.
watches Douglas leave, feeling a mix of pride and worry I hope he can handle this. He's gotta prove himself if we're gonna make it outta here alive. As Douglas heads out to confront the rat problem, Jermaine receives a call from an unknown number, revealing a shocking betrayal within their own ranks.
grabs his gun and hides behind a stack of crates, carefully observing Douglas's movements Watch your back, Dougie.
whispers Keep moving, Dougie. Stay low and stay sharp. We don't know who else might be waiting in the shadows.
spots a hidden gun tucked into a nearby crate Dammit, they're prepared. We need to change our plan and get out of here now. Follow me, Dougie.
raises his hand, signaling for Douglas to wait We can't stay here any longer. It's too risky.
quickly scans the area, looking for an escape route There's an exit on the west side of the warehouse. We'll use that to make our getaway.
