"Previously on Boardwalk Empire..." "Nucky Thompson." "You have appointed a less-than-enthusiastic prosecutor to his case." "And if I appointed one who took Nucky's case more seriously..." "Then I'm sure my interest in how you and your cronies plan to plunder the veterans bureau would wane accordingly." "My man there." " He'll be staying on in the states." " Why?" "I have no stomach left for it, sir." "Bring him around tomorrow." "Jack Dempsey." "How you feeling about Carpentier, champ?" "I'm gonna knock his block off." "Train here." "Fresh sea air..."

"I've told you of my brother and sisters in Ireland." "There is a telephone number." "He said Peggy Rohan died 10 years ago." " I made a mistake, Nuck." " All right." " I need you to get on your knees." " What?" "Enough." "We got speedboats, over a dozen." "Once they make shore in Philly, the goods are loaded onto trucks by Waxey's men." "This could be an opportunity, gentleman." "A hundred grand there, Boychik, five of which is mine." " So they'll advance us." " Sure." "You deliver the load to Chalky" "Nucky Thompson is none the wiser." "And then we meet up." "And we figure a way to take it all." " Look at that!" " Give it to him!" " Square on the nose!" " He's got a glass jaw." "Say, champ, champ, champ, what do you tell people who say you dodged the draft?" "I don't tell them nothing!" "'Cause nobody ever says that to my face." "Does it bug you that Carpentier is the favorite?" "Yeah yeah, he is a war hero, after all." "On July 2nd, he's going to wish he had a foxhole to crawl into." "Hey, what about  his secret punch?" "You hear he's got a secret punch?" "That's a lot of hooey." "Besides, I got tricks of my own." "What, you got a secret weapon, champ?" "Yeah, matter of fact, I've been training with a fella knocked old "carpet ear" out in the first round over in Paris." " What?" " Yeah." "Hey, doc, bring him out here." "Aw, you betcha, champ!" "Wait till you guys get a load of this." "Go get him, killer!" "No hitting below ze belt." "Whoa whoa, is he talking about my belt or his?" "All right, that's it for today, everybody." "Hey, a fella's gotta get his beauty rest." "En garde!" "Whoa, look out." "Ooh!" " Hey, go get them, champ." " Whoa, don't hit... don't hit me!" "How'd I do?" "If you lose the fight, there's always vaudeville." "I'd take a rotten tomato over a left hook anytime." "Except there ain't no dough in tomatoes." "Say, I'm wondering if you'd do me a favor." "I'm sure you've heard we're selling the fight over the wireless." "Can I get your autograph?" "$2.50 a ticket to hear it as it happens." "They'll be broadcasting right from ringside." "It'd be a big boost if you did a little promotion." "Friday at babette's, shake some hands, wave to the girls." "It's all right by me, especially the part about the girls." "Uh, as long as doc here gives the okay, of course." "Considering the good doctor is pocketing 10% of the take," " I'm sure he will." " Two bits for each set of ears?" " That's progress, boys." " Gents, gents, one more question." " Save it for next time, Pal." " This one's for nuck." "What'd you and the attorney general talk about at the seaview golf club on memorial day?" "Sand trap..." "It's a doozy." "Nothing about your election-rigging case?" "Show us that hook, Jack." "Come here, you." "Get over here." "I'm gonna feed him to little frenchie." "Yeah, go."

"We'll get a paisan on the train." " He comes up, does the job..." " He goes home." "We start making some real dough." "Which is what it's all about, ain't it?" "Well?" "You don't like to keep people waiting." "Make your phone call." "I've been working out of the post office, if you can believe it." "The nearest law library is in Camden." "I'll have one of the clerks do it." "Yes, sir, I understand." "That will not be an issue, I assure you." "What in damnation is going on here?" "!" "Where is agent Sawicki?" "Yes, sir, absolutely." "Well, discovery is just beginning..." "Who is this woman at my desk?" "She's on the phone with the attorney general." "Of course." "Thank you, sir." "I'll be in touch." "Agent van Alden, I presume." "Esther Randolph, chief investigator Lathrop, and my clerks Pratt and Halsey." " What are you doing here?" " Beg pardon?" "That is my station." "This is my office." "The investigation necessitated ad hoc arrangements." "Ad hoc?" "I am the head of prohibition enforcement for this city." "And I am the assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting enoch Thompson." "That's your stuff over there." "Does the justice department not give advance notice?" "You and your colleague will practice discretion with regard to what you hear in this room." " Do you understand, agent van Alden?" " I took an oath." "As did I." "Now if you'll excuse me." "In his testimony, confidential witness #2 claims that ballot boxes with non-republican votes were tossed into absecon bay." "Take Halsey, nose around out there." "It's a long shot, but you never know." "Where's a good place to buy wading boots?" " You'll be eaten alive." " In the bay?" "By Nucky Thompson." "The charges won't stick." "And your lack of confidence is based upon what?" "That the scales of justice are weighted down with graft." "My, that is shocking." "This does not belong to me." "Thank you." "How much are you charging for those things?" "Only because you're pretty." "I'll fix it, don't you worry." "Come on." "Nice and light... yes." "Nice and sharp." "This one." "A good piece of material from Sicily." " Very good." " How much you want for that?" "Jimmy's the one that was talking." "Can't keep his trap shut, that one." " I'm sorry?" " Didn't I say it right?" "She's been practicing all day." " Is it Beth?" " The same." " And little Aylesh." " Oh... don't call me that." "What should I call you?" "Juliet!" "Very well." "Eamoinn, she's here." "Nuala." "Do you not know me?" " You're Margaret." " Yes." "Who else on earth would you be?" "Eamoinn." "Hello, Peg." "Thank you for replying to my letter." "Couldn't leave you out there wandering so far from home." "Could we?" "You can let her cross the threshold, so." "It's taffy, right from the boardwalk." "Oh aye." "They have the same at Luna Park." "Ahem." "I'm sure it's grand." "We'll hug then." "There's dinner... roast and potatoes, so come along." "Take your sister's hat now." "Make her feel at ease." "See the little bee in the rose?" "She's like you, Peg, always dashing about." "Name's Esther Randolph, from California." "U.S.C. Graduate." "10 years as a public defender representing draft dodgers and prostitutes." "And she works for Harry Daugherty?" "Yeah, caught the governor's eye in California, joined the u.S. Attorney's office." "I don't think Daugherty could get rid of her." " Why the fuck not?" " Someone has to look honest." " Transfer to federal court." " I've been waiting for this." "It was your idea." "What do you want me to say?" "More to the point is what do you want me to say?" "If the attorney general can't help you, how can I?" "I'm not the only one in town with something to lose." "But you are the one that they're coming after." "The commodore's in a diaper." "O'Neill's off hiding." "Neary, Boyd, Paddy Ryan..." "If you can't work something on them and get me out of this, what the fuck am I paying you for?" "For sitting here while you talk to me like that." "I am so sorry, but you have two visitors." "Is this a mirage sitting before me?" "I'm in the middle of something." "I realize that." "Ah ahem." "I'll leave you to your next meeting." "You and I have not seen each other since may 23rd of last year." "Don't start that way." "Shh shh shh." "I'm sorry, Lucy." "Congratulations." " You look glowing." " I look like shit." "She is kinda cute though, huh?" "10 toes and everything." "I thought I'd try shaking you down, but I knew I'd never swing it." "And anyhow, that's no way for a mother to act." "I'm glad you're taking it seriously." "I'm taking it very seriously." "I mean look at her." "She's just a little scoop of ice cream." "You and I had some good times, didn't we, daddy?" "You and me?" "Sure we did." "I always knew what I was supposed to do." "Every day, just wake up and make you happy." "Things change." "You know that." "Sure I do." "Now there's someone else I gotta make happy." "And she'll always be mine." "That's the best part of it all." "You're going to do a swell job." "I really want to." "Which is why..." "I need money." "Isn't there a father?" "Doesn't there have to be?" "You don't know who he is." "Yeah, I know." "I guess you might too." "You understand the reason for this additional deposition, Mr. Neary?" "'Cause it's federal now?" "Speak into the machine, please." "I do understand." "And your sworn testimony will be used as a basis for prosecuting Mr. Thompson." "The dictaphone can't hear you nod." "I mean yes." "In your former testimony, you mentioned cash for votes, multiple casting of ballots..." "Yep." "Mr. Neary, you were arrested last march for the storage of illegal alcohol with intent to sell." "I paid my debt on that." "A $500 fine bargained down to $50." " Quite a forgiving judge." " Special agent van Alden." "What's that got to do with Nucky?" "Consider this your chance to illuminate me." "No no no no." "I had a deal with the other prosecutor." "That deal is null and void." "I can make your life quite difficult, Mr. Neary." "In fact I might enjoy it." "I understand." "Right away." "A situation has arisen." "I'll return as soon as possible." "Did you take a boat here, miss?" "She's not a miss, Aylesh." " She's our Peg of old, just." " I took the train." "You can't take a train from Ireland." "I live in Atlantic city." " What do you do there?" " I look after my little ones." " You've children now, Peg?" " Theodore is seven" " and Emily four." " American names." " They're quite the patriots." " And the father?" " You've not mentioned him." " My husband hans." "He passed last year." "A widow so soon?" "I'm going to cry." "You've a good heart, Nuala." " And live how?" " Pardon?" "Well, how do you live?" "To come to New York on a jaunt with your children behind." " They're being looked after." " Who by?" "Eamoinn." "A woman I pay." " Well, there's a bit of luxury." " And why not, if she can?" "No reason." "Ach, you've bags of time." " He's on a night crew." " Digging the fourth avenue line." " That's the subway." " Nuala's at sewing, beside a hundred other girls." "Beth presses in a laundry." "Aylesh is in school." "They send an officer around if we don't let her go." "I know you work hard, Eamoinn." "We're as you see us." "I could offer help." "We haven't asked." "Beth made a trifle." "Oh, there's nothing like a bit of sweet." "Keep your eyes closed." "When did you start getting modest?" "This isn't a flattering light." "Men don't have to worry about these things." "All right." "Ready for your judgment." "Meeting someone?" "Just some girls from the beaux arts." "They'll clock every wrinkle." "You don't get old, ma." "Remember summers on the beach?" "People thought I was your brother." "We belong here." "It wouldn't be right anywhere else." "Do you know what happens tomorrow?" "It's not important." "It is to me." "A man's gonna get off a train." "He's gonna walk up to Nucky Thompson and he's gonna put a bullet in him..." "Right here, just because I said so." " What do you think about that?" " I think the world's going to find out what kind of man it's dealing with." "And if I call it off?" "Your friends wouldn't like that." "They don't care what happens to Nucky." "No, but they are watching you..." "Very closely." "They're delightful boys, dear..." "Colorful and ambitious, but I'd never make the mistake of letting them see me be indecisive." "And that's why he dies?" "This isn't what we talked about, ma." "Well, we weren't being honest then." "Now we are." "I don't want to do this." "It's already done." "It was done when you gave the order." "The rest is just bookkeeping." "And you can't bother with that." "Make me proud of you." "Lucy, would you be so kind as to give agent van Alden and myself a moment alone?" "I didn't know what else to..." "We'll discuss this at home..." "Dear." "If there was ever a time..." "No, thank you." "Fair enough." "First and foremost, here's to you." "It is after all a blessed event in the life of any man." "What do you want?" "This actually might be a good time to charm me." "Why?" "Does that make blackmailing easier?" "I don't judge people." "I help them." "Perhaps you can see the value of that more than you once did." "And what do you propose to help me with?" "Where to begin?" "Supporting a wife, a mistress, a baby girl, all on a government salary?" "How do you do it?" "My financial arrangements are none of your concern." "Sadly true." "My concern is Esther Randolph." "I want to know everything..." "Who she talks to, what they say, what's on every scrap of paper that comes across her desk." "She renews her subscription to "Vogue" magazine," "I want to know about it." " And in exchange?" " Your budget problems go away." "And no questions asked about how you've managed to afford this up to now." "What's her name?" "What?" "Your little girl." "She doesn't have one yet." "Well, you can't go wrong picking something from the Bible." "Just think it over." "That doesn't cost anything." "And what I gave Lucy..." "A gift, no strings attached." "You gave her money?" "Tea's on, if you still drink that." "Never say no to some Barry's." "We'll talk a bit first, Peg and I." "Let's look in on poor Mrs. Gillibrand." " Do we have to?" " It's the Christian thing." " Fag?" " No, thank you." "I'm not as American as you thought." "Mam's in the earth, so there's news for you." "Martin Hennessey wrote me." "The cousin in America." "You kept up with him at least." "She's in the Keel parish yard?" "Right beside da." "And not at each other's throats for once." "She asked for you..." "At the last." "I told her you'd be coming home." "What else could I say?" "Will you weep, Peg?" "Now that it doesn't matter?" "I did what I had to." "Can't hear ya." "I did what I had to." "So we all think to ourselves." "Would you have seen me off to the Magdalene sisters and broken in the workhouse?" "The priest judged it fit correction." "What makes it right for others and not you?" "What makes it right for anyone?" "Would you wish it upon Nuala?" "Beth?" "Aylesh?" "Or am I the only sinner you've ever met?" "Who was the father?" "You can tell me now." "Douglas Walton." "The barrister's boy." " You must have known." " I'm blind when it comes to that." "Did he force himself as you claimed?" "A son seven and your daughter four." "I miscarried on the crossing." "Then I'm sorry." " What's that for?" " To return what I stole." "It was mam you took it from, not me." "Meant for your passage here." "Is that what brought you to Brooklyn?" "To return a debt?" "To be among those who know me." "That was quick." "She wants me to pick up 3 lbs of pig trotters." "Then you'd best oblige her before the butcher closes." "Can't we have some trifle first?" "Please?" "This is a bad idea." "Don't you trust me, Charles?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Then I'll just sew up my dress and go." "I'm gonna whip you through the mud like a filly at Belmont." "Lucy!" "♪ Who told you so, dilly dilly?" "♪" "♪ who told you so?"

"And very powerful." "He has minions." "What's that when it's at home?" "It means people do his bidding or they pay the price." " Don't they?" " Yes." "With a snap of the finger." "But he has a secret tragedy." "His heart was broken." "And he'll never let anyone near it again." "Where are you getting that from?" "You with your stories." "She's always got her nose in a book." "I'll send you some if you'd like." " Would that be all right?" " Can she?" "You'll need to ask eamoinn." "Well, think of us now and then." " Three hours to Atlantic city." " Luck to you, peg."

"Hannah." "Abigail." "It wouldn't be a bad idea to start tailing Nucky Thompson." "How close?" "You don't have to hide behind the potted plants, but I would like a fuller picture of exactly..." "Mrs. Randolph." "Miss." "May we speak privately?" "Ahem." "I am a married man." "There goes my dream." "Last autumn, under great duress, my self-discipline was compromised." "I have a daughter born out of wedlock." "Surely you can speak to a minister about this." "I bare my soul not for forgiveness nor introspection." "I admit to these sins so you know that I am, in my heart, honest." "This is a file" "I've kept on Nucky Thompson for the past 16 months." "It runs the gamut from bootlegging, gambling, vice, extortion, up to and including murder." "And you've been sitting on this information for what reason?" "I was ordered by my supervisor to focus on illegal alcohol." "And you will testify to the accusations made in this file?" "I will." "Well, this could prove useful." "That's all that matters to me." "Agent van Alden?" "Your domestic situation..." "We'll get that sorted out." "Just don't go telling everyone." "Just here." "Thank you." "Olly olly oxen free!" " Go ahead." " You fancy this one?" "Thank you very much." " You haven't read it?" " No." "I hope you like it." "And when you finish, you'll tell me all about it." "How?" "You'll write me and I'll write you back." "We'll have a secret correspondence." " That'd be a good crack." " What's that mean?" "Do you not know it?" "Just something fun." "Mam would say it always." "What was she like?" "You don't remember her?" "The horse doesn't die, does it?" " No." " Because I wouldn't like that." "You can visit me, you know?" "Over the summer." "There's no end of things to do and you'd meet your niece and nephew." "I'm an aunt." "That's funny, isn't it?" "It is rather." " Morning." " And we can..." "Good morning." "What have you there?" "I brought aylesh a book." "Oh aye." "She's keen on those." " I'll make your breakfast." " Go and read." "That's what you want to do anyway." "Away with you now." " How was your work?" " I thought you were off in your car." "She's my sister too." "And you'll rescue her, will you?" " To ease your mind?" " Must you hate me so, eamoinn?" "I don't hate you." "I don't feel much about you at all." "I can't accept the money." "I don't know where it's from." " You're honest, are you?" " I don't ask for trouble." "Never take more than you need." "Never talk back to the priest or the boss or the policeman." "Never question." "Never make a fuss." "Never dare to stand up for me, your own flesh and blood, who begged you for help when she'd nowhere else to turn." " And you're proud of it." " You did as you wanted, peg." "You always have." "Nothing you bring and nothing you buy will change that." " I'll make her life better." " The way you've made yours?" "You'll go now, back to your own place and leave us be."

"Ever heard such a thing?" "Well, either way it'll be a swell fight." "And, uh, thanks to the radio corporation of America..." "What do you want?" "I just want to tell you something." "So?" "Tell me." "It doesn't make a difference if you're right or wrong..." "Carpentier saying his prayers when I start closing in..." "You just have to make a decision." "Either way, it'll be a swell fight." "I'm only gonna be here for a few more hours." "I gotta get back to training, so if you want to come up to me and, uh, introduce yourself, say hello..."
