:06:00
murder was everyday part of life.
:06:03
Russian mobsters had also
migrated
:06:05
from the Soviet Union
:06:06
and when they came to America,
:06:08
their baggage came with them.
:06:11
There was always some gangster
:06:12
getting whacked in my
neighborhood,
:06:14
but I'd never seen it with my own eyes.
:06:16
I had this knack of showing up
five minutes before something went down,
:06:19
or five minutes after.
:06:21
Not that day.
:06:46
It hit me.
:06:47
It couldn't have hit me harder
:06:48
if I was the one who'd been shot.
:06:51
You go into the restaurant business...
:06:52
because people are always going
to have to eat.
:06:55
That was the day I realized my destiny...
:06:57
...lay in fulfilling another basic
human need.
:07:04
The next Sabbath,
I went to temple with my father.
:07:07
However, it wasn't God
I was trying to get close to.
:07:10
Eli, my eldest son, Yuri.
:07:12
My contact at synagogue landed me
:07:14
my first Israeli-made Uzi
submachine guns.
:07:21
The first time you sell a gun...
:07:22
is a lot like the first time you have sex.
:07:25
You have absolutely no idea
what you're doing.
:07:27
But it is exciting and one way
or another,
:07:30
it's over way too fast.
:07:34
Gentlemen.
:07:36
The new Uzi machine pistol.
:07:38
Big firepower in a small package.
:07:40
This little baby uses 9 mm hollow points.
:07:42
Twenty twenty-five round extendable mags...
:07:44
...rear-flip adjustable sights.
:07:45
Silencer comes standard.
Excellent recoil reduction.
:07:47
Muzzle jump reduced forty percent.
:07:49
Sixty percent improved noise
suppression.
:07:50
You could pump a mag into me
:07:52
right now
:07:54
and never wake the guy
in the next room.
:07:57
Of course, that would eliminate your
:07:58
opportunity for repeat business.
