[Brooklyn, 1986; Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne plays in background]
[narrating] In every city, people have disasters they need to survive. In Miami, they have hurricanes, in San Francisco, they have earthquakes, and in New York, we had blackouts. You never knew when one was gonna happen, and you didn't want to be on the street when it did.
[New York lights buzz, then a blackout happens, and chaos ensues; indistinct shouting, gunfire, and glass shattering]
Look out!
[tires screech and a car crashes]
Hey, Chris. I can't believe this. There's rioting, looting, people are getting killed.
I know, it's tragic.
"Tragic"? It's great. Stay up.
[runs and sees an explosion and yells in shock] Oh! [knocks on door] Help! Let me in! There's a blackout!
Go away, get out of here!
[narrating] Next to "We're the Jehovah's Witnesses. Can we have a minute of your time?", "Let me in! There's a blackout!" is the only guarantee somebody will not open a door.
[knocks on door] Help! [grunts, but easily opens the apartment door, enters, and closes the door]
[cocks rifle] Hey! [Chris raises his arms] Don't you move a muscle.
[narrating] I survived the blackout outside. Now I needed to survive the next worst thing: A white man inside.
