Then, as his father is on his death-bed, the gym is raided by the police, and David is drawn further into the dark criminal world. He tries to tell them that his father is dying, but the police refuse to let him go. With one last hope of reaching his father for a final farewell, David betrays his friends. But it’s too late.
