This episode struck me deeply. It is an essence of real life. This happens in real life---how we are drawn to go into separate paths--good and evil. Don't you think many children are impressionable and their lives then take their paths based upon impression ? Many children of immigrants who have no guidance from their immigrant parents and choose to make the quick buck in the life of crime or choose education and become good citizens. The marvelous acting also contributed to the believability. The young boy did not receive the guidance and support of his father---so he strayed into a life of organized crime.
