20. Mr. Diaz demonstrated that he had options.

If you work with kids like this, you never want to allow them to think that they have complete control of the situation. The kid was taking more than money, he was taking power. Mr. Diaz took some of that power back, and changed the dynamics of the relationship. My guess is, that kid is now thinking that he got the money, but at some level, he also knows he didn't "win". No doubt, the kid is still a thug, but his world just became a little more complicated.
