Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially gotten to the chapter where the game's title comes from. Dr. M worked with Sly's father and Jim McSweeney from the comic I brought up in the original thread and clearly harbors a grudge against Sky's old man for some reason which will become clearly soon enough.

So yeah, while McSweeney had a seemingly good relationship with Sly's old man, there was an apparent falling-out between the old man and Dr. M. The exact cause of this falling-out can only be speculated on but there are some key things to remember.

While Dr. M is brilliant, he's also unquestionably insane with a tenuous sense of morality. Granted, Sly's father apparently lacked his son's sense of honor as well according to M but M himself crosses the line as a criminal and it's possible that the old man objected to M's methods.

Hell, we've seen Bentley's plans be somewhat questionable as well so it's not like it's that much of a stretch to imaging someone being just as brilliant but with far fewer ethics.
