For the first 20-odd years of my life,
00:00:02.246 --> 00:00:05.456
Little Odessa was to me
what it is to the Q train.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.005
The end of the line.
00:00:09.628 --> 00:00:11.963
Oh, I did lie about my name.
00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:14.132
It's not really Yuri Orlov.
00:00:14.258 --> 00:00:16.426
There have been few occasions
in the 20th century
00:00:16.051 --> 00:00:18.097
when it's been an advantage to be a Jew.
00:00:19.998 --> 00:00:23.725
But in the '70s, to escape the Soviet Union
our family pretended to be Jewish.
00:00:23.767 --> 00:00:26.728
Little about my life
has been kosher ever since.
00:00:26.077 --> 00:00:30.314
- How's it going, brother?
- It's not.
00:00:30.816 --> 00:00:32.608
That's Vitaly, my younger brother.
00:00:32.651 --> 00:00:35.319
He was as lost as me.
He just didn't know it yet.
00:00:35.404 --> 00:00:37.613
Yuri, kouda prava, you're late.
00:00:41.744 --> 00:00:44.579
My father took his assumed identity
to heart.
00:00:44.083 --> 00:00:49.417
He was more Jewish than most Jews,
which drove my Catholic mother crazy.
00:00:49.046 --> 00:00:52.128
How many times? I can't eat shellfish.
00:00:53.172 --> 00:00:55.214
- It's trayf. • unfit to be eaten •
- You're not Jewish.
00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:56.674
I like it.
00:00:57.509 --> 00:00:59.385
I like the hat.
00:00:59.595 --> 00:01:02.555
To remind us there is something above us.
00:01:04.005 --> 00:01:05.001
I like that.
00:01:08.145 --> 00:01:10.354
- I'm going to temple.
- You're not going to temple.
00:01:10.999 --> 00:01:12.607
You go to temple more than the rabbi.
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:20.999
Yuri, don't forget to check the specials
at the Palace.
00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:26.999
Growing up in Little Odessa,
murder was an everyday part of life.
00:01:26.538 --> 00:01:29.749
Russian mobsters had also migrated
from the Soviet Union.
00:01:29.875 --> 00:01:33.211
And when they came to America,
their baggage came with them.
00:01:35.506 --> 00:01:38.001
There was always some gangster
getting whacked in my neighborhood,
00:01:38.509 --> 00:01:40.551
but I'd never seen it with my own eyes.
00:01:40.636 --> 00:01:44.007
I had this knack of showing up
five minutes before something went down,
00:01:44.139 --> 00:01:45.064
or five minutes after.
00:01:45.682 --> 00:01:46.974
Not that day.
