Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - What Does the Bee Do? - full transcript

With the Commodore's Coast Guard seizing Nucky's liquor, he partners with Rothstein to bring it through Philly, but the Commodore suffers a debilitating stroker.

Lenore:
Maybelle has a request.

Her beau... he wishes
to call at the house.

Maybe a few days.

You have a family waiting
that loves you.

How does it feel
to have everything?

- Mr. Attorney General.
- What can I do for you, Nuck?

If you were ever planning on
making good on a certain debt...

- But yours was a state election.
- So?

So I have no standing to
intervene on a federal level.

You used to call him
"the letch"... my father.

It must have been when I
was still angry with him.



I was a mere child when Nucky
brought me to your father,

you're certainly
right about that.

That card game you operate
is located in territory

that Mr. masseria
considers to be his.

A tax of 10% on the game
going forward...

- hold on...
- Charlie.

There's another speak
off baltic.

Right time of night, you'll
be good for a hundred cases.

Cash up front, officer.

- What are your talents, Mr. sleater?
- Making people stop.

I just received a call
from Bill McCoy.

The Coast Guard
is seizing his ships.

We'll not be needing
your services.

You want this order
or not?



Look, I've no quarrel
with you, sir.

We're just not buying
any liquor.

( Plate shatters )

- What did he promise you?
- More than you ever did.

I will ruin you...
all of you.

- Commodore: Jimmy!
- Have a nice dinner, gentlemen.

Angela: How was dinner
with your father?

Which one?

( Theme music playing )

( music playing )

Man: Come on, you gotta help
me move these barrels.

- Here we go.
- Jimmy: You can barely move in here.

Mickey: You got your friends at the
Coast Guard to thank for that.

Three ships' worth
of booze...

the Nina, the Pinta
and the Canadian Club.

Jimmy: Bill McCoy's probably
still crying his eyes out.

Mickey: On Nucky
Thompson's shoulder.

What happened with you
and Nucky anyway?

I guess that's between
me and Nucky, isn't it?

We need
more space, Mickey.

Ain't an empty garage
in 10 Miles.

Then try 11.
Pay cash.

End of next summer we'll be
the biggest distributors

in the Northeast.

From the tiny acorn

grows the mighty elk.

If you had a brain,

- you'd be dangerous.
- ( Giggles )

Man: Yo, be careful
with that.

( Music continues )

Don't like not knowing
what's going on.

Gillian: That's what
makes it exciting.

( Phonograph playing music )

What the hell is that?

"The Pipes of Pan."

Goddamn cat
in a rain barrel.

Open your eyes,

if thou darest.

( Chuckles )
Ain't you the humdinger?

Silence, mortal.
I am Diana,

daughter of Jupiter.

And no man may look
upon my nakedness

as I bathe.

This is one of your
little performances.

You should
have come, dear,

at least once.

I never liked
the idea of you

parading around
in front of other men.

You could have
married me.

I had a city to run.

I understand.

I always have.

But I did have
a boy to raise.

We're all here now,
aren't we?

He has so much
to learn from you.

I can't tell you
what it means to us,

after all this time.

And you're going
to take care of him,

aren't you?

Come here
with that mouth.

Do you know what happened
to the Shepherd

who spied on
the virginal Diana?

She turned him
into a stag.

He tried to run away,

but his own hounds

tore him

to pieces.

Get your ass over here.

Prepare for
the righteous punishment

of the gods.

Louis?

Louis!

- ( Stammering )
- Louis!

Louis!

( Emily reciting ) What does the bee do?
Bring home honey.

What does the father do?
Bring home money.

What does the mother do?
Lay out the money.

What do children do?
Eat up the honey!

Lovely, dear.

- Very nice.
- Good morning.

- Munchkins.
- Children: Good morning, Uncle Nucky.

- Could you not sleep?
- I have a busy day.

Will you be breakfasting, Mr.
Thompson?

I will not.
Nor will I be dinnering.

It's Ed Bader's
birthday.

Did I not mention that?

- ( Knocks )
- I take it there will be a party?

Oh, something small,
make him feel important.

A meal in his honor
maybe.

Well, be sure not
to overindulge.

Mr. Sleater.

Good day, everyone.

Top o' the mornin'.

Isn't that what
your people say?

And we also fix shoes if you
leave them outside your door.

( Laughing )

- Surely it isn't that funny.
- Yes ma'am.

Mr. Sleater will be
driving me now.

It's all I can do to stick to
the correct side of the road.

- Nucky: I'll be right out.
- Sir, ma'am.

Katy.

Please ask Lilian to get
the children dressed

and to drill Teddy
in his catechism.

Come, dears.

A bit cheeky, isn't he?

- What's that mean again?
- Impertinent.

He's serving a purpose.

And may I ask
what that is?

You may,
and I may not answer.

The weekly expenses.

There's a little extra
for the staff.

- What for?
- To let them know they're appreciated.

This is no time to be
frivolous with money.

It's $2 extra a piece.

It makes no difference to us,
but to them it's a windfall.

You do realize they steal from us.
It's what servants do.

It's what everyone does. And we
pretend not to know and life goes on.

No one gave me a bonus
when I was in service.

All the more reason
to be generous now.

I'm nearly out
of shaving soap.

Any more of them eggs?

You've had nearly half
a dozen already, Albert.

Tell them chickens
to work overtime.

- Daddy!
- There's my sweet pea.

- When did you get home?
- Last night,

past your bedtime.
Crept in like the sandman.

Will you check
my homework?

( Snorts )
You're asking daddy?

Your mama'll
do that for you.

Your brother know
I'm too strict.

- If you say so.
- Stop toying with your father.

He know who bring home
the bacon.

How my princess doin'?

Did you ask him, mother?

Ask me what?

Mama invited Samuel over
for dinner tomorrow night.

Did she now?

We did discuss this.
If a young lady is being courted,

it needs to be
in a respectable manner.

He's planning
to study medicine.

Hmph.

An educated buck.

Well, I suppose
it'd be all right.

Dinner
with all the fixings.

I been craving hoppin' John
since the moon was blue.

( Hammering )

( Knocks )

Richard.

Good morning.
I'm here for Jimmy.

I thought
he was with you.

His mother called
late last night.

He left and I assumed...

Was everything
all right?

He doesn't
tell me anything.

This business
with Nucky...

I saw him on the boardwalk.
He wouldn't even look at me.

Mmm, very bold.

My feeble attempt
at expressionism.

There was an artist
I saw in Paris.

He does cityscapes...

very stark, no people.

De Chirico.

I don't know.

He also did figures
who look like mannequins.

Have you ever posed
for an artist?

No.

Sorry.

I didn't mean
to embarrass you.

I used to draw
when I was a child.

It was very relaxing.

It can be.

It can also
be maddening.

It took me years to be
able to draw hands.

It's apoplexy...
a stroke.

His entire right side
is paralyzed.

He can eat, but so far
he's been unable to speak.

Was he agitated?
Overexcited in any way?

As I said, I found him
like this.

- Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
- No.

No one can care for
him like his family.

Commodore.

What do you want to say?

C... cock.

Cock!

Yeah, I... I, uh...

- cockfuck!
- That's enough for now.

He needs to rest.

Jesus Christ,
he's a fucking vegetable!

Keep your voice
down, please.

- What are we gonna do now?
- He's going to be fine, dear.

- Not what Dr. Surran says.
- Without him running this thing,

- his political connections...
- Stop it right now! The both of you!

Now you listen to me.

I didn't spend my life getting
groped by a bunch of drunks

to wind up
in a goddamn poorhouse.

- I've got eight kids, Gillian.
- Jimmy and I are well aware of that.

"Jimmy and you.
" That's exactly... the two of you and...

him?! None of that's normal.
It never was.

It's normal to me

and to my son
and his father.

And it suited you, didn't it?
Up till this morning.

Up till this morning
the man with the clout

wasn't drooling
into his pajamas.

You have
a cruel streak, Eli.

That's never
an attractive quality.

- He can't even talk.
- Louis is unwell.

He's going to recover.

You need to calm down.
It's all going to work out.

- How the fuck would you know?
- Because Jimmy will handle it.

We're in for 70 grand
to his cronies.

They'll get paid back
when we unload the booze.

- What are you waiting for?
- The town's flush, Eli.

Then sell it out of town...
New York, Philadelphia.

You wanna give me
names and addresses

or should I just
go door to door?

Why ask me?

You both got it
all worked out, right?

- ( Door slams )
- Maybe this wasn't the best idea,

letting Eli
see him like that.

I'm sorry if I
seemed heated, baby.

It's a difficult time
for both of us.

I want ice cream!

Alcohol and cake.
Call it for 9:00

so nobody's expecting
a full dinner.

Eddie: Hors d'oeuvres only.
Dancing girls?

Wouldn't be much of a party
otherwise, would it?

- Nucky: Fine, then you handle that.
- How old is mayor bader?

The fuck do I know?
What's the difference?

- The candles for the cake.
- Don't make a production out of it.

Eddie: He is the mayor
of Atlantic city.

And not
the Prince of Wales.

Tell them to send up
some eggs florentine.

- And get me Arnold Rothstein on the phone.
- Ja.

Arnold?

A Nucky Thompson
on the telephone?

I'll take it
in here, darling.

How's our stomach?

It's still
a little tentative.

So much apple bread.

It has a binding effect.

Is that the best thing
right now?

Sound elimination is
the basis of good health.

( Clears throat )

"Mr. Thompson."

Mr. Thompson, to what
do I owe the pleasure?

A change in my circumstances, as
I'm sure you've already heard.

And are we discussing
a problem or a proposition?

That depends which side
of the phone you're on.

I need a port
to land some cargo.

I was under the impression
Atlantic City was aptly named.

The Coast Guard's
locked me down.

I can't land a mackerel.

Well, I have an import
operation in Montauk.

Long Island.

Too far.
What about Philadelphia?

We'd have to cut in
Waxey Gordon.

I'm listening.

There's my 20%

and I'll convince Waxey that 20%
for him is a fair price also.

That's a pretty
penny, Arnold.

Of course my cut includes
men to oversee the operation.

You remember
Mr. Luciano.

- I do.
- Then it's settled.

Direct your ships to Philly
and let me know the details.

You've got
a new port of call.

I can already feel
the brotherly love.

I'd like to thank Mr. White
for joining us here today.

We know how busy he is and how
hard he works for our community.

Ain't no matter,
Wilfred.

Yes sir. Now this is
an informal gathering

so we will not adhere
to strict parliamentary rule,

but if you could just
raise your hands...

( coughs )

I give the floor
to Mr. White.

Now I know y'all got your
beefs and various complaints.

I hear an earful over the
past weeks I've been in jail.

- ( Laughter )
- But I'm back now

and everybody know
my door always open.

- Mr. White.
- Yeah?

I don't mean
to trouble you.

You ain't never no trouble, Mrs.
Mayhew.

There's this couple
next door to me.

They are habituated
to late-night rent parties.

- Mmm mmm mmm.
- There's no end to rag music being played,

and unseemly behavior
on public view.

Well, you ain't gonna be bothered
by none of that from now on.

Oh bless you,
Mr. White.

Travis Elkins, sir.

I remember you
fine, Travis.

Well, Mr. White, I been six months
in the kitchen there at the Ritz?

Near 40 of us on second shift.
12 hours on our feet.

- Uh-huh.
- Wash our aprons,

that come out your pay.

Break a cup, that come
out your pay.

Give us the one meal...
if you call it that...

it come out your pay too.

What they serve us,
Mr. White, ain't fit

for a dog tied to a stake post,
and we working men.

- I'll look into that, Travis.
- Thank you, sir.

It's true.

Everybody, enjoy
the refreshments.

- Man: Mr. White.
- And remember, come July fourth,

- all y'all...
- What about my husband?

- How's that?
- Those white men cut his throat

while he loading your trucks
with your illegal liquor...

sister, moderation
in the lord's house.

Huh-uh.

What bein' done
about that?

You'll be looked after,
I promise.

You promise.
You promise.

- My son is dead.
- I buried the father of my three children.

They bring my man home
rolled up in a washbucket.

- Man: Ladies, ladies.
- It's true.

- I said it'll be taken care of.
- When?

- How?
- Order, ladies, please.

Ain't nobody put you
in charge.

You walk around, take a bite
off everyone else's plate,

don't give nothing back
'cept a summer clambake

and a Christmas Turkey.

Continental
tea garden, $422.

Morgan's oyster house,
$216.

- Shall I tag them with currency straps?
- I'll do it.

- I don't mind, sir, I have...
- Johnny on the spot, are you?

Have you finished the affidavits
for tomorrow's search warrants?

- I was in the process...
- Concern yourself with your own duties,

agent Clarkson.

Yes sir.

I'll be in the W.C.

- According to "the New York Herald"...
- Do not start with that.

Half of all prohibition
agents accept bribes...

m not interested
in discussing...

or engage in some other
form of illegal activity.

- Just because you saw in the paper...
- Come on, Stan.

You don't notice anything
strange about him?

Where do I start?

I'm not talking
personal habits.

A few weeks back,
I'm down on Pacific

coming from the podiatrist.
I spot him

driving with another
fella in a derby.

It was suspicious.

He didn't see me,
so I tailed him.

- I did some snooping.
- You tailed our boss?

They went to a barn; Trucks
were coming and going;

The smell of alcohol
was in the air;

It was a bootlegging
operation.

- I'll tell the world.
- So he's sitting on it,

waiting for the right time
for us to make our move.

It was over a month ago.

( Door opens )

Heads will roll,
gentlemen.

- "Van Asshole."
- Sir?

Someone scribbled an obscenity
on the water closet wall.

Due to recent events,
it has become necessary

that we scale back in an effort
to conserve financially.

- Are we being sacked, ma'am?
- No.

Though I'm considering
suggesting a wage cut

- across the board.
- Pauline: If I may?

My husband has been unable
to find employment...

- I support a crippled brother...
- I'm sure you all have hardships,

which we've taken
into consideration.

You'll each find an extra
$2 in your pay this week.

Th-this week
only, mam?

Yes.
As a bonus.

I believe it's customary
to say thank you.

- Yes.
- Of course. Thank you.

What is it, ladies?

Speak your minds.

Actually, ma'am, we were
expecting a raise in pay.

- Whatever for?
- Mr. Thompson...

a few weeks back
he came in one night in...

a rather jolly mood.

He told us he was
raising our salaries.

Forgive me, ma'am,

but he may have
been drinking.

Well...

It's a special
kind of fool

who relies on the promise
of a drunkard.

Now if there's
nothing else?

- No ma'am. Thank you.
- Thank you.

To your tasks then.

You talked to him about
the cash upfront, right?

Mickey:
Munya! ( Chuckles )

We made it.
Manny Horvitz,

this is the fella I called you
about... Jimmy Darmody.

- Mr. Horvitz.
- You're Darmody?

Oysh, he's just a baby.

I thought you liked
em' young, Manny.

If we're talking
veal, yes.

But when it comes
to business...

( Speaks yiddish )

- You speak yiddish?
- That's all I know.

Still you make an effort,
I'm impressed.

Already I feel this
is going well.

This man looks
interesting.

My associate Mr. Harrow.

What happened to you?

I put my nose
where it didn't belong.

- ( Mickey giggles )
- ( Laughing )

You're funny.
He's a sweetheart

and Mickey is a gonif
from way back.

Chayem,
introduce yourself.

- Herman Kaufman.
- All right, Herman.

First in his class
at eastern state...

- Penitentiary.
- ( Laughter )

I'm kidding.
Herman only did county time.

Can I get you fellas
something to eat?

- No, but thank you.
- Ahhh.

You're gonna smell the cooking
and you're gonna get hungry.

( Speaks yiddish )

So what's your pleasure,
Mr. Horvitz?

Munya or Manny.

My pleasure?
I got a daughter.

She's an angel.

And my wife?
Ehh, ankles got thick,

but I love her anyway.

And Waxey Gordon is a
cocksucking piece of shit.

- Why is that?
- He's a greedy prick,

with his hand in my ass pocket
where my wallet should be.

- Fuckin' chazer.
- Eight years I work with the man.

Promises made
and now where am I?

Talking to a baby
in a butcher shop.

( Laughs )
I like you, boychik.

Nice warm feeling.

We hear you're flush
with hooch.

- You heard right.
- How'd you like to make some dough?

We didn't come to Philly
for the brisket.

( Chuckles )
You got liquor.

We got money.

You see where
I'm driving?

I need cash upfront.

Well, first consider
I got restaurants,

30, 40 speaks,

about 10 blocks or so
in jewtown...

weikel off somerset.
It's a nice opportunity.

We'd do 100 cases a week, build
our business from there.

And stick it right up
Waxey's tuchus.

Still has to be
in advance.

Five grand, we can make
delivery anytime.

That's a lot of green.

You could always say no.

We got a deal.
But just so we're clear,

my icebox is filled

with pieces of fellas
who tried to fuck me over.

I just got
creamsicles in mine.

( Giggles )

Mr. Harrow
will be in touch.

Gentlemen.

( Crowd clamoring ) Mr. Dempsey, Mr.
Dempsey. Hey, Mr. Dempsey!

Man:
Champ, hey, champ!

Boy:
Mr. Dempsey, please!

- Come on, Jack. Gotta go.
- All right, all right.

That's it, all right.
Thank you, thank you.

- It's worse than being in the ring.
- Yeah, I know.

( Singing in German )

Nucky: There we go. There we go.
That's my lawyer over there.

- In a while you'll see his briefs.
- Man: He's got his hands full.

( German singing continues )

Oh, gee!

Nucky: That's it, girls.
Bring him in.

- Ow ow!
- ( Singing )

Ohh.

( Laughs )
Oink oink oink oink.

- Nucky: Happy Birthday, Ed.
- Make a wish.

This was my wish.

( Cheering )

I'm sorry.
I didn't realize

you were in the middle
of a city council meeting.

Jesus, is that who
I think it is?

Jesus wouldn't
last a round.

Jack Dempsey, say hello to our
esteemed mayor Edward Bader.

Happy Birthday, sir.

I usually keep my trousers
on for visiting dignitaries.

Hell, most of the fellas I meet are
in their boxing trunks anyhow.

He could have used you a minute ago when
they were beating the tar out of him.

Heh, I wouldn't tangle
with these girls.

That's for sure.

And if you would, you'd be
doin' it in Jersey city.

Come here to gloat,
Mr. Hague?

That and...
for some cake.

How you feeling about
Carpentier, champ?

Are you kiddin'?

- I'm gonna knock his block off.
- ( All laugh )

In a brand new arena
I built for the occasion.

Jersey city in July,
what's that like?

- Once you get past the smell...
- Can't say he's lying there.

I tell you, sometimes I gotta hold my
breath running past that sewage plant.

So train here.
Fresh sea air,

early morning runs
on the beach,

not to mention our other
natural resources.

Sorry, hon,
but we ain't homegrown.

Philadelphia imports.

Ernie: I was wondering why
I hadn't seen you around.

We been here since
November, sweetie.

These are the girls we had
trucked in during the election.

She was responsible
for 1,000

republican votes
single-handed.

- Except it wasn't my hands I was usin'.
- ( Laughter )

Wait a minute.

Did you say you girls
are from Philadelphia?

- What of it?
- My friend,

you need to have
a chat with your lawyer.

- Cake?
- Partygoer: Yeah, a slice.

- Girl: Cake?
- Slice of cake?

- What's wrong?
- Wrong?

I just figured a way to get
your case dismissed.

Moving whores
across state lines?

That's a federal charge.

( Phone ringing )

Bureau of internal revenue.

Special Agent Van Alden
speaking.

Nelson, are you
all right?

Rose. Yes. I'm fine, dear.
What's wrong?

I called your boardinghouse
five times last night.

- That seems excessive.
- They said you no longer lived there.

That... what?
That's ridiculous.

Who... who did you
speak with?

A Greek gentleman.
I didn't get his name.

Well, that's preposterous.
I'll get to the bottom of this immediately.

I was very
frightened, Nelson.

I thought
something happened.

No, of course not.
There's nothing for you to worry about.

The, umm, mice
in the attic?

They've been
very active lately.

I'll set traps
next time I'm home.

- When will that be?
- Soon.

We're very busy, dear.

I'm lonely, Nelson.

And I don't like
the way you sound.

There are some
very important matters

I need to attend to.

Please try to get
some rest.

I will.
Take care and God bless.

We're making progress.
It's slow but sure.

Slow don't cut it with four of
my boys in an unmarked grave.

Their families will
be compensated.

This ain't about
money, Nucky.

It's about revenge

on them ghost-ridin'
motherfuckers.

You need to sit tight
with that.

Oh, I been sittin' tight.
My ass sore.

Well, those silk cushions
ought to help.

- You keep makin' this about money.
- It's always about money.

It took a lot of cash for my
lawyer to get you out, chalky.

That fella you have
is inept.

Did I not say thank you?

You can thank me
by being a good boy.

I gave you my word.

Now save your strength

and enjoy your family.

How am I supposed
to do that?

I got four other families

waitin' on me for justice.

You're not the only one
looking to settle scores.

( Door closes )

These are your
sworn depositions

stating that Enoch Thompson brought
you to Atlantic City last November

with the express purpose

of performing
sexual favors

for certain gentlemen
in order to...

Influence
their voting blocs.

Uh, you fucked people
to sway their votes.

Sure we did.

A couple factory owners,
some union reps.

Then this accurately reflects your
understanding of events as they occurred?

Sure, I suppose.

And the charges
keep piling up.

Well, it's not like
doesn't have it coming.

( Music playing )

( Scratching )

He loves you.

There's love

and then there's
everything else.

I'm sorry.

Am I allowed to talk?

It doesn't hinder me.

Have you ever
been in love?

Not the way you mean.

Someone you care about?

I have a sister.

A twin.

Her name is Emma.

Where does she live?

Plover, Wisconsin.

We grew up on the farm.

There were no other children
of our age.

We spent
every moment together.

- Angela: Inseparable.
- Yeah.

We milked cows,

baled hay,

fished.

She taught me
how to cook.

That's sweet.

Whatever love is,

that's what I felt

for Emma.

Do you visit her often?

When I came back

from the war,

she nursed me,

and gave me morphine

to keep the pain at bay.

Despite my injuries

she treated me
no different.

I was her brother,

the closest person
in her life.

But suddenly...

I felt different
toward her.

I would stare at her...

And feel nothing.

I lost

whatever I thought
love was.

When my wounds healed,

I moved to Chicago
to get lost there.

I haven't spoken
to her since.

It was a constable station
in tipperary.

( Tools clanging )

They pulled the bodies
of 12 black and tans

from the rubble.
One had no head.

Nucky:
For the cause?

A message for the crown.

And after that

it was our mission

to execute
a bombing a week...

lorries, sentries,
British quarters,

post offices,
even a rectory.

Uh, the wire.

This is what you used?

Uh-huh, gelignite.

Blasting gelatin
used in quarries...

for mining.

You see it doesn't sweat.

Like you are now.

What does "sweat" mean?

That it won't leak
nitroglycerine like dynamite.

It's more stable

and easier to transport.
Detonators.

- They won't bite.
- What is it?

Blasting caps

filled with Mercury
and chlorate of potash.

Someone's goin'
out of business.

Mickey Doyle.

Here you go.
( Laughs )

There's another 50 in the car.
They're ingersolls.

I wish you would
stop with this.

We schlep around with a box of
watches, what do we look like?

Fellas who know
what time it is.

Might as well
set up a pushcart.

Arnold Rothstein's here.

- We're talking, Benny.
- Oh.

So I should tell him
go fuck a duck?

Enough with the crazy shit
already, huh?

- The fuck?
- Bring him in before he breaks the house.

- Mr. Rothstein.
- Put the bag away.

A.R., did you come
to sit in?

You know
you're always welcome.

I'm afraid those sharpers
out there'd fleece me.

( Chuckles )

Owing to his present
difficulties,

I've made a deal
with Nucky Thompson.

He'll be offloading his liquor
shipments in Philadelphia.

Waxey Gordon will
ensure safe arrival.

The route to Atlantic city

will be my responsibility.

And you'd like us
to recruit the muscle?

I would like you
to be the muscle.

A.R., we, uh,

got some business
going on just now.

I can see that.

But Mr. Thompson is
paying me a premium.

Anybody could
ride shotgun.

Until you encounter
Indians.

We're honored
by your trust, A.R.,

and flattered that you would
come below 14th street

to discuss it personally.
Aren't we, Charlie?

- Sure.
- As it happens

I was down here having
dinner with Joe Masseria,

who left me with
the distinct impression

he'd still like
both of you dead.

You broke bread
with that prick?

We were served
a native dish of tripe,

which I cannot abide.

But I ate it anyway,

to keep the peace.

Some things, Charlie,
you just have to swallow.

Adeline, can you bring
the biscuits, please?

Coming.

Everyone take
your places, please.

I want to welcome Samuel
to our table...

Thank you, Mrs. White
and Mr. White.

And ask that he lead us
in the saying of grace.

I'd be honored, ma'am.

- Lord, we...
- Is that a duck?

Yes, Albert.
Of course it is.

Please,
Mr. Crawford.

- Lord, we thank you...
- I thought I asked for hoppin' John.

There's duck...

Peas, carrots,
fresh-baked biscuits.

I made chocolate
pudding for dessert.

- We'd like to thank you for the gifts...
- I asked a question.

Albert, please.

She made that pudding
all by herself.

- That's very nice.
- Where the damn hoppin' John?

Albert, you know that's not
proper food for a guest.

Now let's allow
Samuel to finish.

Lord, we come togeth...

Well, maybe our guest
would've liked some.

( Chuckles ) Well, I have always
enjoyed that type of food, sir.

What type of food?

Uh, my grandma
would make it.

I say something
funny, son?

- Beg your pardon?
- You laughing.

- What the joke?
- Hoppin' John, Albert.

You're being ridiculous.

I been eatin' rice and
beans all my life.

Tell me it ain't
good enough.

You'll have to forgive
my husband's country ways.

I completely
understand, ma'am.

This is my house!

And my country ways put the
food on this goddamn table.

Albert!

You're drunk.

( Sniffles )

Sir, I apologize.

- I'll leave...
- You stay right where you are, son.

Right there...

Inside the house.

Pretty clear who
the field nigger is.

( Door closes )

Almost finished.

Hmm.

This is
what I look like?

Yes.

Hmm, is it expensive?

- The drawing?
- I can pay for it.

No.
No, I...

it's yours,
if you want it.

Ange?

Ange, are you home?

In here.

- What are you doing?
- I was sketching Richard.

I'll put him to bed.

Thank you.

He's tuckered out.

We rode the Ferris wheel
after my mother's.

Tomorrow...

we're gonna need
to go to Philly

for that delivery.

Okay.

Good night.

He sat for you?

Is that so surprising?

I don't know.

I'm never sure what's
going on inside him.

Nucky: I gotta hand it to Icky.
This was a great idea.

The whole thing
was a setup.

I mean, Fleming
helped too of course.

It was
a means to an end.

But surely nothing
to be proud of.

It's not pride,
it's happiness.

I violated the mann act.

It prohibits the interstate
transportation of females

for immoral purposes.

It's a federal law,
which means the entire

election case can be rolled
into a federal indictment.

- So the Attorney General can help?
- Exactly.

This is how things work, Margaret.
You know that.

I had no relations
with any of these women,

if that's what
you're worried about.

I believe you.

The tide's turning,
I'll tell you that much.

I'd love to see the look
on the Commodore's...

I need $100.

Clothes
for the children.

Very well.

Where are you going?

Off to bed.

I'll be up in a while.

It's owned by a widow, but ran
by a fella named Mickey Doyle.

Van Alden arrested him
last year for bootlegging.

- This is the place?
- This is it.

It looks deserted.

( Inhales )
You don't smell that?

There's a still
in there.

I don't see
the point of this.

We're prohis, Stan.

We're going to make
an arrest.

But if it is what you think it is,
van Alden will have our heads.

Then we'll
arrest him too.

Go check around back.

( Screaming )

( Screaming continues )

- Oh. Oh God.
- ( Whimpers )

( Groans )

( Whimpering continues )

( Piano playing )

( Laughter )

- ( Waves crashing )
- ( Scraping )

That's it,
one last bite.

- ( Grunting )
- Louis dear.

You need nourishment.

Do you remember
when we met?

I'll never forget
your smile.

Jimmy sometimes,

he has it.

I look at him
and I see you.

That first night,

how you plied me
with wine...

Why I'd never felt
such a sensation.

We were downstairs.

And I'd fallen asleep
on the divan.

You carried
me to the bedroom,

went to say good night
to your guests.

And I lay there in bed...

Dreaming of the waves.

I'd been on the beach
that day.

Suddenly I felt

a crushing feeling,

I couldn't breathe.

I opened my eyes
to find you

atop me...

Your breath smelling

of whiskey
and tobacco...

One hand covering
my mouth...

And the other
groping at me.

Do you remember that?

( Mumbling )

Still...

Sometimes when I sleep,

it wakes me

with a start.

Do you remember
that night?

I...

( mumbling )

I asked you a question.
