The third chapter of Dope Thief explores the complexities of morality in desperate circumstances. Ray Driscoll is cornered in Philadelphia, pursued by a menacing Aryan motorcycle gang after a robbery, yet clings to the idea of being a modern Robin Hood. He struggles with the pressure of his loved ones being in danger, especially as his friend Manny, who has vanished, becomes a focal point in the chaos, underscoring the personal stakes at play amidst the urban peril.
But it isn't just the heat closing in that's keeping Ray around. There's still the notion of being your own personal Robin Hood - parlaying a lifetime of loss into one big win.
"Everybody you get close to is in the crosshairs with you," Son tells him under the bridge along his morning jog. "Everybody you care about." Best to exit the scene and give the rest of us a fighting chance away from the line of fire.
