FBI Explains the Charlestown Trade, Explained：emanate from

What's really going on

The opening sequences sell Charlestown as a place where crime is inherited, almost respectable — “Heisting banks is a trade in Charlestown,” passed down “the way villages in old Europe used to be known for certain crafts.” The legal side is just as tribal: the briefing notes that closing the bridge is the first move because the suspect is always from Charlestown. The robbers, meanwhile, talk like small businessmen. “Money don't care where it came from” is the crew's whole ethic, and the claim that “there's a difference between a dealer and a straight killer” shows how carefully they rank their own sins. What looks like a crime story is really a study of a neighborhood that has turned armed robbery into a livelihood, and of men who cannot imagine leaving.
