No one should come here
unless he's willing to be lucky.

:01:06
And I got lucky.
:01:09
I had an apartment downtown,
but home was City Hall.

:01:12
That's where it all began.
:01:14
The day started out like other days,
with a ceremonial function.

:01:18
The mayor was giving the key to
the city to the governor of Tokyo.

:01:22
- He liked soup for breakfast.
Fish soup.

:01:25
My dad offered to put it on the menu.
:01:28
But, "No, no,"
Mr. Hayatama said...

:01:30
...who was a very gentle soul.
:01:32
"No, it would be
too much trouble. "

:01:34
My dad replied, "Too much trouble
is no customers. "

:01:37
The mayor, and he was the best mayor
the city ever had, was my boss.

:01:42
I was his deputy mayor...
:01:43
... his right-hand man...
:01:45
... or his boy...
:01:46
... depending on who was
talking about me.

:01:49
But in Brooklyn...
:01:50
... something else was going on
that would change everything.

:01:56
It started with a cop...
:01:58
... Eddie Santos, the toughest detective
in Brooklyn North.

:02:03
He was on his way to a meeting
with Tino Zapatti, a drug dealer...

:02:06
... whose only distinction was being a
nephew to Paul Zapatti, a mafia boss.

:02:15
James Bone.
A child on his way to school.

:02:18
Watch your step.
:02:24
Finally, Vinnie Zapatti.
Cousin to Tino...

:02:26
... a rat Detective Eddie Santos
had in his pocket.

:02:33
- All set?
- Let's go.

:02:56
It happened on the corner of
Broadway and Marcy in North Brooklyn.
