You had the chance to be something good for this club. Something your old man always wanted. But you turned into everything he hated. You became the poison, the reason he checked out.
Checked out of what?
I was the only one JT trusted at the end.
You weren't even a member of the club back then.
That's why. I knew the life, but I didn't wear his patch. I was just a friend. A safe ear.
So what did he tell you?
John couldn't live with what the club had become. But he also couldn't bring himself to take it down.
Take it down how?
He wrote some kind of book. I never read it. But whatever was in it, if it would have gotten out, would've destroyed the Sons and tore apart his family. What do you think happened to your old man that day? Out on 580?
Clay sabotaged his bike.
Yeah, we heard those rumors. But there was one thing that didn't hook up for me. That panhead was an extension of John. He would've known if anything was wrong with it the second he kicked it over.
Meaning what? You think my old man ran into that semi on purpose?
I don't know. Maybe it was his sacrifice. A way of letting his club and family survive.
My old man didn't kill himself.
It doesn't matter. As long as he ain't here to see what SAMCRO did to you.
