:01:02
But my story doesn't begin in Australia.
:01:06
It begins 20 years ago, halfway around
the world on a beach in Brooklyn.
:01:10
That's me...
:01:12
... Charlie Carbone.
:01:14
Three things happened on this day
that would change my life.
:01:17
First, was that my mom met Sal.
:01:20
She hadn't dated much since Dad died, but
I could tell right away she was interested.
:01:25
Why shouldn't she be? Sal Maggio was a
respected member of the community.
:01:29
Well, feared and respected.
:01:32
Well, feared.
:01:33
And that's Frankie Lombardo.
:01:35
Fresh out of Juvenile Hall,
where they named a wing after him.
:01:39
Sal was grooming Frankie
to take over the family business...
:01:42
... a family I was about to become a part of.
:01:46
The second thing that happened
was that I met Louis Booker.
:01:53
Don't tell me.
You got 75 cents in your back pocket.
:01:58
You're wrong.
It's a Captain Amazing compass.
:02:01
- How much you want for it?
- It's not for sale. No way. Sorry.
:02:05
- Wanna play some ball?
- No. You play ball.
:02:08
I gotta check this entire beach
if I'm gonna make my car payment.
:02:11
- You've got a car?
- No, but I will.
:02:14
Now, step aside. My uncle only rented me
this metal detector for the day.
:02:18
- And the third...
- Hey, kid.
:02:19
... most important thing
that happened that day...
:02:21
Go long.
:02:23
... was that I went out for a 20- yard pass.
:02:25
Unfortunately, there was only 15 yards
worth of beach...
:02:29
... and a really strong undertow.
And I couldn't swim.
:02:39
Hey, kid! You lost your...
:02:48
Somebody help! I think there's
a kid drowning out...
:02:51
I'll save you!
