Ok, so after the new information in the last episode, 29.3 I would have to say that they are part of a mob type family. I don't know anything about gangs, but I would assume they would work differently than this "family" that scratch spoke about. Obviously his father was heavily involved, and the way she would pick on him my calling him "blonde boy" makes me want to say that they were childhood friends, but if that were the case then she would have recognized him sooner and she said she almost didn't recognize him. What I would like is for there to have been a romantic "thing" between Angel and scratch in the past (like him getting her preggers) and thats why she isn't letting anything happen to lizzie, and (Partially) explains angel enlisting in the military. However, I don't think she would have shot him if that was the case.

Scratch says that Angel has a "birthright" and that he is carrying the same ring as herself and Durai which means they all were likely members of the same gang/crime syndicate. Angel knew how to hot-wire cars so his criminal past likely has something to do with auto theft. A birthright isn't usually something that happens in Organized crime families. The kids have to be "made" just like any other soldier and I don't know how common it would be for gang/"family" members to wear rings signifying membership. That's an advertisement to the cops that this prisoner might have info that can bring down the organization.
Shooting Angel and sparing him the slow, painful death the doctor promised was probably the least cruel thing Scratch has done Believe it or not, it's a sign of respect, like Tesio at the end of The Godfather as opposed to Carlo. Saying all of that...Angel clearly had knowledge of the "Mallers" but didn't share that information because he was to unwilling to let others know about his involvement. Scratch was right about one thing, if Angel hadn't just tossed the ring already, it means it still had value to him. It is an interesting side plot...However, I don't think she would have shot him if that was the case.

I'm so down with the organized crime theory. That was the only thing I could think of when listening to it.
