It's July 28, 1978.

A low-writing Buick had slowly through a working-class neighborhood in Pittsburgh.

The day is hot and the air is thick and humid.

Buick turns a corner, passed a red brick building, and another car,

a rusted-up Chevy, follows close behind.

Behind the wheel of that Chevy, Henry Hill bites his lip and shakes his head.

He looks out at the car's dented hood and listens as the engine rattles, quietly cursing himself.

He thinks about how everything has gone so wrong these last few years.

He'll is 34 years old. He has dark eyes, a bulbous nose, and a thick New York accent.

He got out of prison just two days ago after serving eight years on charges of extortion.

But it's not the only crime he's ever committed.

Hill has a full resume, including larceny, loan-sharking, truck hijacking, and assault.

But despite his time in prison, Hill can't shake the old habit.

He has a taste for money.

That's why right now he's following behind that Buick.

The driver of the Buick is Pittsburgh mobster Paul Maisie.

Hill and Maisie first met in prison. They made a good team, selling smuggle goods to fellow inmates.

Their plan is to run heroin and cocaine between Pittsburgh and New York.
