00:05:36.640 Sammy, come down right away.
00:05:39.200 Now, I don't question on my phone
00:05:40.960 what happened.
00:05:42.460 When I hear that, my guy saying, come on, right away, I noticed something really bad

00:05:51.980 What happened?
00:05:53.560 Hook told me.
00:05:56.500 And I said, what happened?
00:05:59.180 Stemmy got in the car with the Santiago guy, and he was a little drunk, and he killed him.
00:06:05.660 Oh, my God.
00:06:07.460 He killed him?

00:06:10.360 Is the car still around?

00:06:43.300 when he was in the fucking car 1.00
00:06:44.800 and throw those clothes 1.00
00:06:47.280 away too.
00:06:49.660 I cleaned it up.
00:06:53.060 That's all I did.
00:06:56.720 Knowing
00:06:57.280 that a hit took place,
00:07:00.360 knowing that
00:07:01.240 I cleaned it up, made me part
00:07:03.240 of it,
00:07:05.200 I'm telling the son,
00:07:07.660 that's the reason
00:07:08.680 why, what happened.
00:07:10.260 And he asked me, stymie broke the rules.
00:07:14.420 And under your own rules, questions you asked were great.
00:07:18.660 Did you kill him?
00:07:19.880 No, of course not. 0.82
00:07:23.020 He was proposed to become made. 0.99
00:07:26.140 Stymie. 0.76

00:07:38.720 but I made him know I was not happy with this fucking thing. 0.98
00:07:45.320 But I had no control over it. 0.99
00:07:48.040 I did, and when I did, I told him,
00:07:50.800 leave it on his side, and we'll talk about it.
00:07:53.460 Figuring that over time, he'd say,
00:07:57.160 all right, I mean, she cheated. 0.97
00:07:59.200 She went with us. 0.96
00:08:00.360 She's good-looking, whatever.
00:08:02.840 He would forget it or say, okay, 1.00
00:08:05.640 maybe I'll just go break his face,
00:08:07.200 and I would have told him go 0.83
00:08:08.860 go you wanted one or two
00:08:11.440 guys to go with you you want me to go with you 1.00
00:08:13.380 what the fuck you wanted and we give him a good beating 1.00
00:08:15.100 he deserves a beating for what he did 1.00
00:08:17.380 of course that's disrespect 0.99
00:08:19.080 but he didn't deserve to die
00:08:21.160 the son
