Boardwalk Empire

Hey.

Buddy. Hey.

That on or off?

The radio.

It's on.

Try another station, why don't you?

Only one we get.

Comes in from Fort Wayne.

"Comes in from Fort Wayne."

A lot of traffic.

Steel mills up in Gary.

Why we stay open late.

Ask if we're far.

How far are we from Columbus?

Columbus, Ohio? 'Cause there's one in Indiana.

That's not the one we want.

You're about five hours.

What's worth seeing around here?

In Warsaw?

We've got the second longest contiguous brick wall in the world.

No kidding?

A man from the university in Vincennes drove up and measured it.

Maybe we should stay over, huh?

Let's just go.

My friend's got no appreciation.

You keep the change now.

A sawbuck on a $2 tab?

We made some easy money. What's the problem?

I thought we were laying low.

Well?

Jiggle the plugs or something.

- What? -(GUNSHOT)

Slow your roll.

These kids, I found 'em in ajuke in Louisville.

Bringing 'em along.

Akron, Youngstown, Pittsburgh.

Three weeks at the Stanley.

They rough.

They're smart boys. Pick up fast.

Little patter,

top hats and tails.

A year from now, you come to New York,

you won't find an empty seat and what you're gonna say?

What I gonna say, Dickie?

"Why didn't I? Oh, Why didn't I?"

- You selling this hard, huh? - Check that mule's teeth first.

I never sell anything. I don't have to because I represent the best.

Don't I, honey?

- Nothing but. - Mmm.

Would you freshen me up?

You don't mind, do you, Dickie?

You're thirsty, you're thirsty.

What was in here again?

Weren't you paying attention?

New York Sour.

Mix you up the Jersey version.

That's all the time you got for me?

- Appointment in Newark. - Do we have to, Dickie?

I'm tired of traipsing.

A nice hotel...

Mr. White makes me happy, I make you happy.

Two weeks at a grand per, then we talk about what comes after.

You carpetbagging me.

I'm treating you square.

I always do.

I want Fletcher Henderson up there.

Who doesn't? But Smack's in New York.

You boys break a sweat yet?

No, sir. We're barely kicking it.

Eldon, shake your lazy rump.

Grover, let's wind that clock.

Shoot some liquor to me, Eldie boy.

Whoo!

Whom.!

You can turn 3 “gm on.

All have arrived.

It's easy enough to do.

Then I Will do it.

Where is he sitting?

Where you wanted him.

Thank you.

Everybody knows each other?

Mr. Masseria and I have not actually met.

You should shake it.

- Does he speak English? - He's not in the mood.

I just want this to be clear.

He'll understand what you say.

We'd like to settle things.

We think you do, too.

What makes you think that?

Why else would you show up?

To see what the Thompson brothers are contemplating.

I have my territory.

South to Cape May, north to Asbury Park, west to Trenton.

I have the casinos, the numbers, and the wire.

I'm not looking for anything else.

Haven't we had this conversation?

I didn't ask for trouble.

What was brought to my doorstep,

I returned.

I'd expect all of you to do exactly the same.

You tried to put me in federal court.

- You were greedy. - And you were desperate.

Fifteen of his men killed on the road out of town.

- With the deal already struck. - You landed on your feet.

- You wish to pretend you never gained... - What's wrong with that?

- T'nere was no arrangement. AR. gave a guarantee.

Oh!

Now why I should trust any word come out of your mouth?

Huh?

That's a reasonable question.

Let him see it.

What do you want?

To see a Broadway show,

have the chop at Keens,

do a little window-shopping,

and not be looking over my shoulder every second I'm at it.

And in return?

Maybe you enjoy the beach here.

Not especially.

I want peace, Arnold. That's all.

Where you shop and where you eat is no concern of ours.

This ends that.

How are you, Charlie?

I'm well, A.R.

Thanks for asking.

He's a good boy.

Meyer keeps me informed.

OK Kid. Now we go home.

"All of man's troubles come from his inability to sit quietly in a room by himself."

You should try it.

Is that what you do in here?

I talked to Lolly. He's expecting you.

No limit at the table.

That's thoughtful.

Call it a thank-you.

I ran the odds on the way down.

On what?

Whether you'd attempt to kill me.

What did you come up with?

Fourteen to one against.

-(PIANO PLAYING) -(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yes. Yeah.

Five and six and seven and eight.

-(WOMAN 1 LAUGHS) All right.

I held Tommy in my arms when he was no bigger than a loaf of bread.

I never wanted to let him go.

I never wanted him hurt in any way.

I'm selling my home.

The only possession I have.

And with the proceeds, I intend to live quietly

within my means

and give Tommy the upbringing he deserves

in comfort and safety.

Julia.

And Mr. Sagorsky...

Paul,

I thank you.

You've done so much.

I'll never forget it.

But my grandson belongs with me.

It's time he came home.

She was running a cathouse.

Raising that child in a cathouse.

Stay away from all that.

Mrs. Darmody provided respectable lodging...

And what went on in there was...

As the only surviving blood relation...

You can't just take things that don't belong to you.

-(GAVEL BANGS) - Your Honor, my clients are understandably...

- He wouldn't even speak for the first... -(GAVEL BANGS)

What exactly occurred in your residence eight months ago, Mrs. Darmody?

And under what precise circumstances was the child brought to your home?

Is there anyone here willing to disclose anything

approximating the truth in this matter?

Hold her steady.

- Don't stomp on it. I'm not.

It's not a cockroach. Just easy.

Easy.

Okay, pull right in here.

Good. Yeah.

Who's he?

Guy who works for us.

I've got to go over something with him.

So he runs the place?

- What? - I smell smoke.

That's you. That's how you smell.

Your mother was very clear on this.
