Boardwalk Empire

Open.

Is that you?

Yes.

You did as I said?

The only one still in the house is the cook.

I'm not paying her to loaf about with nothing to do.

- Tell her to go. - All right.

This event of yours...

It's for the men from the Legion Hall.

I suppose you have some sort of bond with them.

Trenches and such?

I wasn't in the trenches.

I was a sharpshooter.

In any case,

Tommy's not to be subjected to any rough language.

At the first sign of crude behavior, you're to leave.

Take him to the Blenheim.

They set a proper Easter table there.

There's $10 in my purse.

Go on.

How are you feeling?

Murderous.

A man has no idea what we go through every month.

Can I help?

I just want to be left alone

and sit in the dark.

It's a terrible day for business anyway.

All these family gatherings.

It makes the customers feel guilty.

Kathleen, Nora,

Anne, Edith,

Brian, Patrick, Dermott,

and the oldest is Willie.

How do you know their names?

Mama told me. It's not hard to remember.

Who's our uncle again?

Um... Um...

I know everybody's name by heart.

You'll make a fine politician someday.

A girl can't be a politician.

Doesn't England have queens?

Are we all ready?

Then let's go meet your cousins.

You always leave your front door open?

That depends on whom I'm expecting.

Wasn't sure I had the right address.

I hope you're sure now.

Is this really where you live?

My late husband left it to me.

Never said you was married.

It was a troubled relationship full of sunlight and shadow.

You're talking funny.

Perhaps it's the day.

Puts me in an odd mood.

So you're rich, huh?

Oh, darling, I can barely keep the lights on.

Why don't you sell up?

I bet you'd do all right.

Did you come all the way over to talk about real estate?

Anybody else here?

No. Just me.

Rattling through the halls like a ghost.

How many rooms in this place?

Twenty.

Get over here and we'll start in this one.

Let's eat first.

Shall we?

Ain't hungry.

You're going to need your strength.

Are you sure we shouldn't help?

Not unless she asks.

Okay.

I got you.

- You're Willie. - That's me.

Well, now that we're all finally together,

the rest of you say hello to your aunt and uncle.

Nora. You're a big girl now.

Thank you for coming, Uncle Nucky.

This is my wife Margaret.

How do you do, Auntie Margaret?

A pleasure to meet you, Nora.

- This is Teddy. - Hi.

- Patrick. - Brian.

- Brian. - Brian.

- Nice to meet you. - Kathleen.

- Hello. - Dermott.

Pleasure to meet you.

Is this where your sister lives?

I told you I had a sister?

You don't remember anything.

You have a sister and a daddy and a mommy

and they live on a farm.

In Wisconsin.

Is that here?

This is Michigan Avenue.

Not the same thing.

How do I look?

You need to fix your glasses.

Mr. Harrow. Hello.

Hello.

- I'm here. - Yes, you are.

This must be Tommy.

We walked the whole way.

Here.

Aw. Did you bring those for me?

Girls.

Please come prep the table.

Edith, grab the beef by the stove.

Nora, cutlery.

All going smoothly?

How's that?

Shipments to New York.

Is this the topic of conversation?

Up to you.

You're the one who's working there, aren't you?

Mickey doesn't tell me anything.

And you'd like me to address that?

- I'm not complaining. - Eli.

Can I get a drink?

Right this second?

Do I need an appointment?

I promised June.

Not before sundown.

Not in the house.

I got to tell you, it keeps your head clear.

Preaching temperance now?

Look, Nucky, I'm glad you came.

We don't have to talk about anything.

All I want is for us to have a nice dinner.

Can we do that?

Bless us, 0 Lord, and...

And these, Thy gifts.

And these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive.

From Thy bount...

From Thy bounty.

From Thy bounty...

...through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

- Make the sign. - Let's eat.

There's just something I'd like to say,

if that's all right.

We've been through some hard times.

And I want Uncle Nucky to know

we're grateful for all that he's done for us.

We're grateful to have him back at our table

after so long.

We're grateful to meet Margaret at last,

who is so lovely,

and we welcome her

and Teddy and Emily to our family.

What I love about spring,

how everything starts growing again

when it's all been so gray.

And for this to be the day

that all of us...

Look at me now.

Beautiful words.

Eat your soup before it gets cold.

About time.

Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest.

Let these gifts to us be blessed.

Amen.

- That's how you say grace? - What's wrong with it?

Nothing, if you're six years old.

I'll bet you liked it.

It was okay.

- Tell me this, kid. - Shoot.

Who the hell are you and why are you at my table?

Dad.

Mama's sick, so we came to eat here.

Now that's all straightened out.

I told you, Dad, Mr. Harrow takes care of him.

Like Julia takes care of you, Paul.

Only without the diaper changes.

You know what? You can go right back next door

for all I care.

Thank you.

Of all the days on the calendar,

this one takes the cake.

He dies, comes back to life,

disappears for 2,000 years, but don't worry.

He'll turn up again.

- Suckers. - There's a child at the table.

Am I shocking you?

Put all this nonsense in their heads.

Man in the sky, everlasting life.

Ten years later, we dump 'em on some godforsaken shore

with a rifle in their hands, waiting to get their heads blown off.

- What good is Jesus then? - Dad!

Stop it.

What good did he do you?

You don't have to answer that. No, no, no.

He's a man, and I asked him a question.

Just because you don't believe in something

doesn't mean it isn't true.

Well, you're shaping up into a disappointment.

Can we eat now, Your Lordship?

Who's stopping you?

Let's go, guys.

Mr. Harrow, could you help me with something in the kitchen?
