What does the expression "in the stay" mean?
Context: A conversation between the boss of a gang and a new member of the gang.
Boss: Just one more thing, Joe. You are in with us. That means you're in the stay. Don't try to pull out.
Joe: Okay, I won't betray you.

Sorry teechr, I think it's not allowed to post this kind of links here, but the man says clearly "in the stay". No back noise in this excerpt. I think that he wants to emphasize that Joe is in the gang now, and he cannot get out without being punished for it. What do you think?

Is it possible that he's saying "in this thing" or even "in this day" instead?

Thanks, teechr, but no, he doesn't say "this thing". I have listened to it again a minute ago, and 90% sure he says "in the stay"

That means you're in to stay.

The boss is saying that Joe can't leave (the gang).
