Boardwalk Empire	comment	Boardwalk Empire is an HBO Sunday Evening Drama Series set in Atlantic City, New Jersey from The Roaring '20s and the beginning of Prohibition into The Great Depression.Steve Buscemi stars as Anti-Hero Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, a corrupt county treasurer who develops his own bootlegging ring in Atlantic City in the wake of Prohibition. The series focuses on how Nucky balances his dual lives as respected public figure and underworld kingpin, and the multi-sided conflicts between the federal government, his own operations, and those of his rivals, all amongst an ensemble cast."Inspired by" (rather than adapted from) the non-fiction book of the same name, the series was created and written by Terence Winter of The Sopranos renown, and its pilot episode was directed by Martin Scorsese, who also set the artistic tone of the show. HBO picked up the series for a twelve-episode first season, and it debuted September 19, 2010. A second season was announced after the pilot registered one of the highest followings in the network's history and the show completed its third season in 2012. Veteran The Wire writers Dennis Lehane and George Pelecanos joined the creative staff in the fourth season, which was aired in the second half of 2013.HBO and creator Terence Winter decided to end the show with a shortened season 5. After 56 episodes, the finale was aired on October 26, 2014.The series won seventeen Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes. It has also done its research.

Boardwalk Empire / int_11630eaa	comment	The Gambling Addict: Margaret's husband Hans Schroeder gambled away her nest egg. Arnold Rothstein's love of poker has mostly been portrayed as representative of his business savvy; he claims to only gamble on games he can win, and he's very good at poker. However, Nucky observes the depths he sinks to when he's on a losing streak (Meyer has to step in and whisper "perhaps it's best that people not see you like this" before he'll step away from the table), and concludes that he doesn't want to do business with someone who clearly doesn't Know When to Fold 'Em.

In the last season, the tempo is accelerated until at least one regular is killed off in every episode.

Prohibition is losing popularity and savvy businessmen are betting on its repeal within a few years. In Chicago, Al Capone is at the peak of his power but the Treasury Department is preparing the tax evasion case that will send him to jail and end his reign as Chicago's criminal overlord. In New York, Luciano and Lansky are laying the groundwork for a coup that will end the reign of old-world "Moustache Pete" mob dons and forever change the nature of organized crime in America. In the middle of all this, Nucky is trying not to get killed while he prepares one more big deal that will hopefully secure his legacy.

It appears again in "Two Boats and a Lifeguard", when Jimmy and Richard scalp Parkhurst, and finally, in "Under God's Power She Flourishes" when Jimmy uses it to kill the Commodore. In "Two Boats and a Lifeguard", Nucky visits a National Guard armory and is told that they have three thousand surplus Thompson submachineguns stored in the basement. At the end of the episode Nucky is making deals with the IRA. Agent Sebso comments on his new shoes in "Paris Green" and takes them off before getting into the water. Some time later, the priest performing the baptisms returns with the shoes to act as a witness of Sebso's murder. The Commodore was apparently practising with Chekhov's Spear; the pike he is seen using in "21" comes back with a vengeance in "Under God's Power She Flourishes", when he defends Gillian against Jimmy with it, stabbing him in the back of his shoulder. Jimmy gains control of it and uses his army knife to kill him. The insurance policies that Rothstein had the D'Alessio Brothers, and more importantly, Mickey Doyle, sign are also used in "Under God's Power She Flourishes". Luciano reminds Mickey that there is very little reason to keep Mickey alive, as dead, Luciano and Rothstein can split the half-million. Mickey begins to plot accordingly. Then three seasons later, Rothstein tries to convince Nucky to let him kill Mickey for the insurance. In "Battle of the Century" there is a long, lingering shot of Manny Horvitz's meat cleaver collection, conveniently embedded in a chopping block near the door. Right before Manny uses one of said cleavers to kill a would-be assassin. The bad state of roads in New Jersey is mentioned from time to time in seasons 1 and 2. In season 2, Nucky engages in a crooked land deal that will make him a fortune when a new road is finally built. In season 3, the fact that there is only one decent road between Atlantic City and New York is the source of a massive problem for Nucky when Gyp Rosetti takes over Tabor Heights, the location of the only major gas station on the coast route, and starts to ambush Nucky's delivery trucks. The dog Rosetti gives to Margaret ends up acting as a distraction when Rosetti's men come to kill Nucky in his hotel suite. When he's first introduced, Richard Harrow rattles off his impressive collection of guns. In season 3, we finally see them all assembled on his bed. Shortly thereafter he stages a one-man assault on Gyp Rosetti's hideout armed with a rifle, shotgun and several handguns. Jimmy chews gum constantly throughout the pilot episode, something he does rarely, if ever, thereafter. During the Woods Massacre, when one of the hijackers blows the brains off a man in hiding, we aren't sure whether it's Jimmy or Al... until we see the bottom of his mask shift and bob conspicuously before he removes it and we see Jimmy; thus putting the audience on notice that the protagonist is not the sympathetic, Thou Shalt Not Kill type. In fourth-season finale "Farewell Daddy Blues", one of Eli's daughters is shown playing a musical saw. That saw later gets used as a weapon in Eli's brutal fight with Agent Knox/Tolliver.

In season three, Eli becomes this particularly when he's the only one who realizes that trusting the Tabor Heights police Mickey paid off may not be a foolproof idea after Gyp burns the incumbent sheriff. He decides to scout out the road ahead of a shipment headed to Rothstein, and finds Gyp and his henchmen preparing to ambush the convoy. Unfortunately, his attempts to flag down the convoy as it reaches town fall on deaf ears due to the drivers taking Mickey's word to "not stop under any circumstances", so Eli can only listen from a distance as Gyp's men gun down the drivers and steal their trucks. Johnny Torrio is this for the Chicago crowd, which doesn't bode so well when Torrio starts to relinquish control of the organization to Capone.

The episode after that, "Spaghetti & Coffee", mirrors the imagery again when Eli gets out of jail, except in this case he has no hat on and he is looking at an empty land plot rather than the ocean, highlighting how far down he has fallen in contrast to his brother. The Season 3 episode "A Man, A Plan..." has whiskey bottles washing up onto the shore. It turns out one of Gyp Rosetti's ships lost cargo.

When the man is The Commodore and the attacker is Gillian Darmody, finally enacting revenge for his rape of her twenty-odd years previously, it's hard to find much fault. Nucky's beatdown of Eli in "Gimcrack and Bunkum". Jimmy throwing Mickey Doyle off the balcony of Babette's in "Two Boats and a Lifeguard". Nucky arranging the murder of Hans Schroeder in the pilot. It was brutal but given that how despicable Schroeder was, its difficult to see his beatdown as anything other than Karma. Doctor Narcisse has Dickie's wife murdered in "Resignation" to show what a cold-blooded kingpin he is, but the fact that she had willingly participated in what amounts to sexual assault makes her hard to sympathize with.

However, Tonino gets an Oh, Crap! moment when it's pointed out to him that Nucky chose a table under a portrait of Billie Kent, suggesting he was the one who planted the bomb that killed her. Next time we see him, he's a Dead Guy on Display. In season one Nucky humiliated Luciano and Lansky and they never forgave him for that. In season 4, Nucky and Eli humiliated Lansky again (forcing him to kneel before a freshly-dug grave). In season 5, almost 7 years later, they have finally bested Nucky and they make sure to thoroughly humiliate him before agreeing to let him live in exchange for Nucky killing Maranzano. Richard Harrow is devestated by Angela's death at the hands of Manny Horvitz at the end of "Georgia Peaches". He waits a full year and a half, until the season 3 premiere "Resolution", before he exacts his revenge.

He assaults the biggest jerkoff of the bunch with a clothes iron and smashes the place up before leaving for yet another career change, this time becoming a gang member. His former colleagues pursue him again and end up getting murdered for it.

Boardwalk Empire / int_43a045de	comment	Dropped a Bridge on Him: Owen's death in season 3 takes place off-camera. We don't learn that the hit had failed until his body is returned to Nucky in a box. The show skips right over the death of Arnold Rothstein between seasons four and five, and his funeral is mentioned in passing in the first episode of the fifth season. After spending a good portion of season four establishing Sally as a romantic partner for Nucky who holds her own in his world, her part in season five is largely reduced to a few phone calls before she's unceremoniously killed midway through.

In season 4 Chalky is arguably just as much of a main character as Nucky. Ron Livingston as Roy Phillips in season 4. Early press made a big deal of adding him and fellow film actor Jeffrey Wright to the main cast for season 4 but ultimately Livingston appears in just half the episodes.

Boardwalk Empire / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: Pretty much every season ends with a mix of this and Bitter Sweet Ending with each succeeding finale so far leaning more and more in favor of being a Downer Ending. By the end of the series, the main characters, with a few notable exceptions, are either dead, in prison, or otherwise completely broken. Season 1: Nucky and Rothstein are able to come to an agreement and make peace. Nucky and Margaret are able to move forward with their relationship. However, unknown to Nucky a conspiracy to take him down is brewing between The Commodore, Eli and Jimmy. Season 2: Jimmy, having lost his wife and killed his own father, makes up to Nucky by helping him tie up the last loose ends of the conspiracy and goes willing to his death when Nucky kills him, finally crossing the line into becoming a gangster. Eli is going to prison for his part in the conspiracy. Margaret, unconvinced by Nucky's lies about becoming a better man gives his land away to the church. Season 3: Nucky defeats Gyp Rosetti and takes back control of Atlantic City but has lost Margaret, seemingly for good. Richard saves Tommy but has to kill many men to do so and feels that he can not be with Julia and Tommy because of what he has done. Season 4: Basically, a pure downer ending. Richard fails to kill Narcisse, killing Chalky's daughter by mistake, is shot and eventually dies alone under the boardwalk. Gillian is most likely going to prison for life if not receiving the death penalty. Eli murders agent Knox, leaves for Chicago and can not return to Atlantic City. In the wake of his daughter's death Chalky is left completely broken, having lost everything. Season 5: Nucky loses all his Atlantic City holdings to Luciano and company, he tries to make up for his sins by leaving money from his take in the Mayflower stock to Eli and Gillian but ultimately he is killed by Tommy Darmody on the boardwalk.

Boardwalk Empire / int_537dd8fe	comment	Affably Evil: Nucky is quite polite and charming. Until you cross him. This is in stark contrast to Rothstein, who is polite, erudite and witty, but absolutely ruthless beneath it. Chalky White is the closest thing to the Black community's version of Santa Claus. In spite of the fact that he actually is a bootlegger as well as a brutal killer, he's one of the more sympathetic characters on the show. Just like in real life, Al Capone is a gregarious guy who gets on especially well with kids, but he's also a brutal thug. Manny Horvitz has a very avuncular personality, but he'll kill just about anyone. Jimmy also points out that his habit of calling Jimmy "boychik" isn't actually friendly. Manny's accusing him of being a snot-nosed kid trying to play grown-up. Salvatore Maranzano is a suave, soft-spoken, easy-going mobster who tries not to take things personally, even after an assassination attempt.

Two of them - Luciano and Al Capone - are historical and can't have their fates rewritten and another two (Lucy Danziger and Roy Philips) were extremely minor in the scheme of things and by the time of the finale hadn't appeared in years. Even more strikingly, only two notable characters that appeared in the pilot are still alive in the end: Eli and Margaret.

Boardwalk Empire / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
Boardwalk Empire / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: For the most part, it's surprisingly averted on a period show where the writers obviously spent time doing the research into 1920s Atlantic City, but there are some exceptions. Much of the first season's plot is driven by the election of 1920 and Nucky's anxiety over the GOP's prospects. In reality, 1920 was a strong Republican year both nationally and in New Jersey, and Atlantic City was a Republican one-party town both in 1920 and for decades thereafter. Big Jim Colosimo was killed in May 1920. In the show, it happens in January. Al Capone's son is portrayed as completely deaf from birth when he actually went partially deaf at age 7. In "Anastasia," Margaret reads newspaper accounts of pretender Anna Anderson's claim to be Anastasia Romanov a good two years before those claims actually became public. In "Nights in Ballygran", Van Alden writes with an Esterbrook "J" fountain pen, a model not available until the 1940s. Nucky uses a Parker Vacumatic fountain pen, a model not available until 1934. "Georgia Peaches" features a painting of the Divine Mercy by Hyla that wasn't made until 1943. 1943 is also the year in which the lullaby sung by Sigrid the Norwegian nanny in "Two Boats and a Lifeguard" was released. A minor one happens in "21", when Nucky is arrested by the New Jersey State Police. The NJSP was indeed founded in 1921, but the first class of officers didn't graduate until December (the episode takes place in February). In "Bone for Tuna" (1923), Gyp's right hand man Tonino vividly describes Nosferatu to his boss. While the film was released in Germany in 1922, it didn't hit the States until 1929 because of its infamous copyright problems. In "The North Star", which takes place in Season 4 (1924), J. Edgar Hoover cites Emma Goldman as an anarchist threat to America. Emma Goldman was deported in 1919 and did not gain re-entry to the USA until 1934. People can be seen eating popcorn in the movie theater scenes. Popcorn wasn't sold in movie theatres until the forties, although they did sell candy. A grand Irish American Society dinner in "Nights in Ballygran" is marked by a performance of the song "Carrickfergus", which is depicted as a song everyone knows the lyrics to. "Carrickfergus" wasn't popularised until the 1960s, in fact the first guy to publish the song says he learned it from Peter O'Toole.

The Temperance League, of course, is a legion of teetotalers. As was true historically, Arnold Rothstein is one, drinking tea or milk when others imbibe, allowing him to be sharp when engaged in gambling or other activities. As expected, given his values and dedication to his job, Van Alden starts out as one, but "gives into temptation" in this and other aspects toward the end of the first season. Even after becoming a bootlegger, he's still not much of a drinker, however.

In jail, he and Chalky discuss how they spent election night giving out money to anyone who would vote for their candidates. Season 4 shows us election campaigning Chicago-style. During a municipal election in Cicero, Al Capone gathers various gangsters and hired thugs and armed with bats and pipes they go to a rally for an opposition candidate. They beat up the candidates supporters but let enough of them get away to spread the word about what happens to those who support the wrong candidate. A later episode shows us Election Day where the Capones try to stop a group of workers from voting. It quickly escalates into a melee and this time the gangsters are outnumbered. This culminates in Frank Capone being shot dead by police.

The preeminent example is probably Jim Colosimo's death in the pilot - shot through the eye so that the blood spatters the camera. The assassination attempt on Torrio is shot similarly to the attempt on Vito Corleone's life.

Owen claims that he was visiting an old friend and lost track of time. Nucky, suspicious, pointedly asks him if that friend was from Ireland, by any chance. Owen panics, because while he did indeed visit with (and kill) an acquaintance from Ireland that day, he also had sex with Margaret (herself an Irish immigrant) afterwards, and thinks Nucky's found out about that, and is about to have him killed. Luckily for Owen, Nucky clarifies that he's asking about the assassination, and Owen gives a sigh of relief when Nucky brings up approaching the IRA for a business deal.

However, the second season begins throwing obstacles in his path, and in time, his impetuousness, ambition, and aggression gradually end up undermining his criminal career and destroying almost everything he loves. Season 2 ends with Jimmy knowingly walking into a trap set by Nucky and allowing himself to be gunned down. The series as a whole covers and consists of Nucky Thompson's arc. From corrupt powerbroker to bootlegger and then full-fledged gangster, until his eventual demise.

Boardwalk Empire / int_7cbba5d3	comment	Ruthless Foreign Gangsters: The crooks from out of town are all more ruthless than the local Atlantic City hoods. Arnold Rothstein is the most dangerous but he's reasonable and nuanced enough to downplay it sometimes. Gyp Rosetti, also from New York, is a classic example; a most violent, unpleasant and confrontational gangster who tries to take over the protagonist's turf and operation. Maranzano and Masseria are both native Italians, "Moustache Petes" who are more traditional and conservative than the younger American mobsters like Luciano. Their mutual desire for absolute control causes the massive Castellamarese War. Masseria is also one of the few people that Gyp Rosetti is afraid of, with Gyp frequently having to talk Masseria out of killing him for his screwups.

Boardwalk Empire / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: The show is excellent at giving these to its numerous characters: We first meet Nucky Thompson during his speech to the Temperance League. It introduces him as a highly-regarded politician, an excellent storyteller, and, as we find out from his following conversation, a complete liar. Jimmy Darmody is first shown literally on the outside looking in at Nucky. He also shows his limp, the first hint of his war scars. Margaret Schroeder is first seen at the Temperance League as well - a young Irish wife and mother with suffrage leanings and a bit of hero-worship for Nucky. Also in the pilot, Johnny Torrio's young driver is standing in the cold and amiably shooting the breeze with Jimmy. His name is Al Capone. He's on the bottom rung at this point, but with an eye on advancement. The Who's on First? conversation between Van Alden and Sebso introduces Sebso as a hapless sidekick and Van Alden as The Unfunny. Eli Thompson behaves like a blustering bully living in his brother's shadow during a political dinner. Lucky Luciano gets his at the gangster dinner when he mouths off to Nucky in front of Torrio and Rothstein, establishing him as a Hot-Blooded guy with a Hair-Trigger Temper. Arnold Rothstein doesn't get his true moment until "The Ivory Tower", telling Frankie Yale a story about how he met a man who swallows and regurgitates objects and wagered that he could not do so with a pool cue ball, knowing that it was slightly larger than other pool balls and would choke him to death. This establishes Rothstein's love of gambling, attention to every detail, and total ruthlessness. Chalky White is introduced in an flashy suit, commanding Eddie to tell Nucky that he doesn't have all day. This establishes Chalky's position as a powerful black man who must nevertheless bow to white authorities like Nucky. "The Ivory Tower" introduces Gillian Darmody by pulling a Bait-and-Switch. Jimmy sneaks off after arguing with his wife to see a beautiful showgirl, giving her a necklace as a gift. Is it his girlfriend? Nope, it's his mother! In "Home," Richard Harrow is first seen when Jimmy meets him in the hospital, meek and awkward. Then he starts listing the arsenal of firearms he owns and detailing his sniper exploits. "Home" also introduces Meyer Lansky, who gives a very articulate (but dishonest) business proposition, handles a failed attempt very gracefully, and muses about the future importance of the petroleum industry. This all establishes him as a shrewd and business-minded gangster. "Ourselves Alone" introduces Owen Sleater, a very charming Irish gangster eyeing up Margaret during a business dinner between Nucky and John McGarrigle. He gets a second establishing moment when he skips off to the pub and brutally executes an IRA traitor. "Peg of Old" introduces Asst. U.S. Attorney Esther Randolph, who marches into Van Alden's office, completely takes it over, and removes him from his duties. Season 3 antagonist Gyp Rosetti's first scene in "Resolution". After a mechanic is inadvertently condescending to him, Gyp beats him to death.

Boardwalk Empire / int_8767b1f3	type	Black-and-Gray Morality
Boardwalk Empire / int_8767b1f3	comment	Black-and-Gray Morality: Nucky is a corrupt politician and "half a gangster", but he has generally progressive attitudes and is a nice person to those who don't interfere in his business. Van Alden is a federal agent enforcing the law, but he is clearly deranged. Prohibition, the law Nucky's flouting and Van Alden is enforcing, is seen by posterity as a terrible idea. The conflict between these two would normally give this series Grey-and-Gray Morality. However, certain characters such as Arnold Rothstein and Gyp Rosetti serve to remind us that gangsters can certainly get a hell of a lot worse and a hell of a lot more unscrupulous than Nucky, significantly darkening this particular shade of conflict. The only "good" main character is Margaret, but her close association with Nucky and the power-by-proxy she gets a chance to wield send her on her own trip towards the middle of the morality scale.

It's like a Roaring Twenties version of Murphy's death from RoboCop (1987). In season 3, rival crime boss Gyp Rosetti puts out a hit on Nucky Thompson by blowing up an entire restaurant on the Atlantic City boardwalk in the hopes that Nucky would walk inside in time. It instead claims the lives of everyone who was already dining inside and numerous bystanders, including Nucky's mistress Billie Kent. Rosetti's backer Joe Masseria later chews him out about this pointless massacre.

Boardwalk Empire / int_8e20979	type	Wham Episode
Boardwalk Empire / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: The last three episodes of Season Two. In "Georgia Peaches", having survived an assassination attempt that Jimmy encouraged to avoid repaying the $5,000 debt owed to him, Manny goes to Jimmy's house to take care of Jimmy only to find Angela and her lover present and ends up murdering both of them. In "Under God's Power She Flourishes" we find out in a flashback that Jimmy slept with his mother and that's why he enlisted in the army. In the present storyline Jimmy murders the Commodore. Also Van Alden's murder of Agent Sebso is discovered and he goes on the run. The season finale, "To the Lost", tops it all off when Jimmy tries to make amends with Nucky and when that fails, goes on a suicide run, Nucky allies himself with Manny Horvitz and kills Jimmy. And Margaret marries Nucky, then signs over the deeds of land to the church. "Margate Sands", for season three: Richard pulls a one-man Roaring Rampage of Revenge to get Tommy back, leaving him with Julia and Paul. Rothstein sells out his proteges, sending Luciano to prison and Lansky into further debt to Masseria, and steals Nucky's distillery. Nucky plays the long con on Rothstein, selling him out to Esther Randolph, and orchestrates a massacre of Gyp and Masseria's men. Gyp Rosetti, the Big Bad of the season, goes down at the hand of his lieutenant, Tonino. The Season 4 finale, "Farewell Daddy Blues": Eli mercilessly beats down and kills Agent Tolliver, Richard accidentally kills Maybelle, an "anonymous" tip from Nucky leads to the discovery of Jimmy's body which royally screws up Gillian's defense strategy in her murder trial, Richard loses the will to live and dies from a gunshot wound, Dr. Narcisse is now cooperating with the BoI, Johnny Torrio gets shot and turns the reins over to Al, Eli moves in with Al's outfit, and a grief-stricken Chalky remains at his mentor's house. Holy shit. In the Season 5 episode "Devil You Know", both Van Alden and Chalky are killed. Van Alden attempts to steal Al's ledgers and fails. When Al confronts him, Van Alden snaps and tries to kill him, only to be shot in the head from behind. Chalky, after cornering Narcisse, makes a deal with him where in return for him sparing Narcisse's life, Narcisse will publish Maitland's record album. Chalky is then gunned down by Narcisse's men. Meanwhile, Nucky has had enough and decides to take the fight directly to Luciano.

Pretty much all the KKK members who met unfortunate endings. The arrogant bully that is poisoned by Willie in a Deadly Prank in "All In". Willie has clearly entered dark territory, but the audience isn't exactly broken up by the death.

Use of slurs about any ethnic group and their mother is rampant. Eddie Kessler, Nucky's German butler, is as meticulous and precise as you'd expect a German to be. Norweigan-born Sigrid is religious but pragmatic, cheerful and very liberal, especially when compared with The Fundamentalist Van Alden. She is also handy with a hammer. Nelson Van Alden is a native-born American of Dutch extraction. His joyless personality and fervent faith are typical Dutch Calvinist stereotypes. Margaret's French boss at the dress store is a snooty, elitist French Jerk. A minor plot point in the first season has Nucky struggling to recruit little people to play Leprechauns and get green beer for the Saint Patrick's Day celebration. In a later episode, the Irishman Owen Sleater jokes that all Irish people will clean your shoes if you leave them by your door, referencing the stereotypes of the time that they're all servants. Lansky and Rothstein are calm, cultured cerebral Jews who care about business first. And there are complete opposites in Benny Siegel and Manny Horvitz. Italians Salvatore Luciano, Al Capone, and Gyp Rosetti are impulsive, violent and loudmouthed but they are contrasted with Johnny Torrio and Joe Masseria.

Boardwalk Empire / int_a3515d6	comment	Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Each season, the main antagonistic force has a completely different flavor to what came before. Season 1 is the D'Alessio Brothers (backed by Arnold Rothstein). They're Starter Villains who are easily defeated when Nucky forms a truce with Rothstein. Season 2 is a Big Bad Ensemble of The Commodore, Jimmy Darmody and Eli Thompson, with a deeper focus on their personal histories with Nucky. Jimmy functions like an Antagonistic Offspring to Nucky while Eli and Nucky have a Cain and Abel dynamic. Season 3 is Gyp Rosetti, an Ax-Crazy gangster who can't be negotiated with and can only be defeated through a Mob War. Season 4 is a Big Bad Ensemble of Sinister Minister Doctor Narcisse and Rabid Cop Agent Knox. In contrast to the preceding seasons, neither poses a direct threat to Nucky and instead they only indirectly threaten him by targeting his allies (Chalky and Eli, respectively). Season 5 is Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel. They are the only villains (other than Rothstein as The Man Behind the Man in Season 1) who are Historical Domain Characters throughout the series, and naturally they are destined to be Saved by Canon.

After learning of a liquor warehouse protected by a booby trap, he allows his partner to get killed by the trap and then coolly executes the remaining guard, leaving all the liquor for himself.

This incentivizes Halloran to betray Eli to the feds for real. In season 5, undercover federal agent Mike Malone forces Van Alden and Eli to try to steal Capone's ledger, the key to getting Capone convicted of tax evasion. When the scheme goes bad, Malone is ordered to get the two men to name their employer: himself. When Van Alden attacks Capone and begins a frenzied confession, Malone kills him to preserve his cover, saving the life of the man he's trying to bring down. For this apparent loyalty, Malone is given the ledger.

Cheery music interrupts Lucy's screaming as she gives birth. Considering that the show's theme music is "Straight Up and Down" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, the soundtrack is (historically) pretty damn dissonant from the get-go... The song that plays in the Artemis Club as Richard slaughters his way through Rosetti's men? "What I'll Do", a rather soft and upbeat song.

No matter how much of a villain you feel he was in the second season, one has to admit the writers did a damn good job of generating sympathy for a character who, over the course of the season committed several murders, tried to overthrow the main character, was a huge jerk to pretty much everyone around him, proved to be an incredibly incompetent leader and got his poor innocent wife killed because he was too selfish to pay back Manny money he legitimately owed him. Frank Capone, a relatively temperate gangster with plenty of Evil Virtues, is horribly gunned down while trying to defend his brother.

Many of the recurring characters make more appearances than either of them in season 4. Willie and Dr. Narcisse both get this pretty badly in season 5 after both having had huge roles in season 4.

Kessler was affable, decent, but determined and capable in a fight — by no means a hero, but one of the nicest characters in the setting, and fast becoming a Morality Pet for Nucky. The replacement, Archie Ortiz, is silent, menacing, and viciously brutal in a fight — even slicing the ear off a dead attacker and keeping it in his suit pocket. The implication is that Nucky hates that he got personally attached to Kessler only to lose him, and has hired a bloodthirsty stoic he won't mistake for a friend.

Boardwalk Empire / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Boardwalk Empire / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Among the many stylistic flourishes of Martin Scorsese's that the show mimics, there are several instances when background music is used repeatedly, either within the same episodes or across several. Many times different versions of the same songs are used. This is something that Scorsese does in his films quite often. The season 1 finale does two in the same scene; the deaths of the remaining D'Alessio brothers resembles the deaths of the rival dons at the end of The Godfather in how they're shown during the midst of the main character doing something seemingly benign (Nucky is giving a speech on crime, Michael at the christening). Furthermore, one of the D'Alessio's deaths (the one killed by Al Capone while returning home with groceries) is staged to resemble the death of Steve Buscemi's character Tony Blundetto in The Sopranos. Nucky compares Chalky to Simon Legree, upon seeing Mr. White chiding his underlings, but Chalky doesn't "give a fuck they agree or not." In the second episode, the Commodore humiliates his servant, by asking her opinion about politics and finance, just to prove his point: women shouldn't be allowed to vote. There is a very similar scene in The Remains of the Day. Margaret reads The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the children, and Richard Harrow compares himself to the Tin Woodsman. Gyp's right-hand-man Tonino tells him about seeing Nosferatu in the theater. The film actually hadn't been released in America at this point in history, however. During Bugsy Siegel's assassination attempt on Gyp Rosetti, the camera looking downï»¿ on the deaths and the cinematography as a whole mirror several moments of the shootout scene of Scorsese's Taxi Driver, even the music is reminiscent. The influence is also present in the Season 3 finale when, like Travis Bickle, Richard unleashes a carnage on a bordello to rescue a minor he deeply cares for. Gyp references Barney Google and sings the theme song in the final episode of Season 3. The second-to-last scene of Season 3 has a Door-Closes Ending homaging the one from The Godfather, with a gender reversal as Margaret is the one who closes the door on Nucky. The demise of Frank Capone, mercilessly gunned down next to a car and mourned over at the morgue, is very reminiscent of Sonny Corleone's ambush at a tollbooth by machine gun-wielding gangsters. This one goes full circle, since the death of Sonny Corleone is generally supposed to be inspired by the Real Life death of Frank Capone. The address casually referred to by O'Banion is on Racine Avenue, which is clearly intended to remind the viewer of Jimmy Malone's residence in The Untouchables. The true identity of Mike D'Angelo is Mike Malone, evoking Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables. He's also a real person, although he probably didn't kill anyone for Capone. The historical assassination attempt on Johnny Torrio is staged like the assassination attempt on Vito Corleone. Both kingpins are ambushed by running gunmen who at first are only seen from below the waist, absorb numerous bullets at close range and are brought down to the ground in the presence of a disconsolate relative, and in both cases the target is not killed, only sent to the hospital. Eli and Knox fighting messily and dirty with household implements to the death is very reminiscent of Tony Soprano fighting with and killing Ralph Cifaretto. The antagonist hurts or threatens our antihero's loved one, Tony's horse/Eli's son. It ends the same with Tony/Eli killing the other by strangling and bashing their head on the ground while rage crying. While rehearsing her opening argument against Nucky Thompson, Esther Randolph describes Thompson as "a man who orders up murder the way you or I order coffee" — a description given by the prosecutor at Corrado "Junior" Soprano's trial.

In reality, Capone did not serve, but did indeed pass his scars off as war wounds. Van Alden moves to Cicero at the end of season 2, which historically savvy viewers will know will soon be the place where Al Capone first makes a name for himself. Blink and you'll miss it, but the poker chips on Rothstein's desk in "To the Lost" are from The Brook, his infamous high-stakes casino. Meyer's young lackey "Benny" is better known in real life as Bugsy Siegel. Benny's bizarre behavior is a reference to Bugsy's infamous temper and his irrational behavior in Las Vegas, which would eventually get him killed. Jess Smith is remembered today only because of his well-timed, high profile suicide at the worst of the Harding administration scandals in 1923. Most authors defend he was murdered to keep him quiet. The show compromises between the two theories, as Smith manages to thwart an assassination, only to commit suicide after realizing he was betrayed by Daugherty, his only friend.

Dunn Purnsley compliments Chalky's "yellow" wife. Chalky was born to humble origins and has a much darker skin tone than his erudite wife, who has the light skin to match her station.

Truth in Television, as the real Britton really was that obsessed with Harding and continued to believe that he loved her until her death in 1991. Deputy Halloran is rather thick. Mickey Doyle is equal parts a Smug Snake and Ditz, often cackling at his little witticisms and machinations, but just as often completely out of the loop on simple things.

Some of Rothstein's gangsters, Agent Sebso and Manny Horvitz are all examples. Lucky Luciano also reveals that he can speak Yiddish, apparently from doing business with Jews like Rothstein and Lansky.

In "The Ivory Tower", Jimmy's wife is about to perform oral sex on him, but they're interrupted by their son waking up. In "To the Lost," Jimmy and Richard barge in on Neary boning his secretary. They shoo her away, then force Neary to type a forged confession at gunpoint, before shooting him in the head and staging his death to look like a suicide. In "Bone for Tuna", Mickey is getting ready to enjoy a blowjob from a hooker only for her to turn the lights on, revealing an unhappy Richard Harrow, displeased at Mickey for wrongly taking credit for Richard's killing of Manny Horvitz. Mickey doesn't even have time to pull his pants up before Richard hustles him out. Gyp is cavorting with a waitress in "You'd Be Surprised" when Bugsy Siegel comes in to assassinate him. The waitress winds up taking the bullet.

She reads a poem that Harding actually wrote for one of his mistresses, Carrie Phillips. Also like Phillips, the character is quietly moved out of town in order to avoid a scandal until the presidential election is over. Season 2 brings IRA big-shot John McGarrigle. While his name and eventual fate indicate a loose inspiration on Real Life Irish leader SeÃ¡n McGarry, his introduction as a funding collector in the States and his mannerisms and strict Catholic doctrine remind more of Ã‰amon de Valera, to whom actor Ted Rooney also happens to have some physical resemblance too.

In season one, when one of Chalky's people is lynched, Nucky allows him to torture a Klan leader for information. In season two, the Klan has its revenge when they attack Chalky's liquor warehouse and kill four of Chalky's men. When Chalky kills one of the Klansmen in self defense, Nucky has to pull a lot of strings so Chalky is not tried and executed for murder. However, the Klan has little power in Atlantic City so they are never too serious a problem for Nucky.

Boardwalk Empire / int_e81f5639	comment	Moe Greene Special: Considering Terence Winter's love of all things The Godfather, it's unsurprising that this trope pops up a number of times. The preeminent example is probably Jim Colosimo's death in the pilot - shot through the eye so that the blood spatters the camera. The assassination attempt on Torrio is shot similarly to the attempt on Vito Corleone's life. Nelson Van Alden gets an incredibly gruesome Reverse Moe Greene, shot in the back of the head with the exit wound removing most of the side of his face. Getting shot in the cheek, just below the eye, is a recurring theme. Richard recounts shooting a sniper in this way and does so again to the gangster who slashed Pearl. This also happens to the paper boy in Tabor Heights that walks into Benny Siegel's failed assassination attempt on Gyp Rosetti, Jimmy himself, and ultimately Nucky.

With her business in the red and running out of options, the Stepford Smiler Gillian delivers a Precision F-Strike to her employees. The only thing that gets past Meyer's cool faÃ§ade is Charlie Luciano's life being threatened. In "Ourselves Alone", he shouts at Jimmy and Charlie to quit fighting in his place of business, and in "Margate Sands", he shouts at Charlie to stop trying to kill Rothstein for selling them out. During an argument that divides Lansky and Luciano's partnership, Luciano digs into Lansky with an anti-Semitic slur, despite repeatedly defending Lansky's Judaism in the past. Hoover forcing George Remus to drop his third person shtick for the first time ever shows that this young agent is a hardass and means business.

They beat up Lucky and tell him that they can trump up any charge they wish or simply kill him unless he does as they say.

Boardwalk Empire / int_f682ee6e	comment	Villainous Mother-Son Duo: James Darmody teams up with his (very young) mother Gillian in their plot to take over Atlantic City from Nucky Thompson in season 2. The Darmody family history is very sordid and tragic. Gillian was pimped out as an innocent teenage girl to the Commodore by Nucky, resulting in Jimmy's conception. Gillian herself would later initiate a sexual encounter with Jimmy during a drunken night at his college. To complete the entire Oedipal drama, Gillian egged him on to kill both the Commodore, Jimmy's biological father, as well as Nucky, Jimmy's adopted father figure.

Boardwalk Empire / int_f6b2bfb7	comment	Gold Digger: Played with Margaret, a fairly sympathetic variant. She gets along with Nucky well enough but doesn't really seem to love him all that much. Her story is a deconstructive Rags to Riches tale, the Season 1 finale makes clear that she goes back to Nucky because he's rich and the Season 3 finale reverses it. Lucy follows the trope pretty closely in season one. She's only with Nucky because he buys her pretty things and pays her for it, and throws fits when he takes up with Margaret. Annabelle, like Lucy, is another gold-digging serial mistress.

Boardwalk Empire / int_f6b30338	comment	Murder Is the Best Solution: Pretty much all of the gangsters who Jimmy associates with in the second season endorse this, and it borders on a life philosophy for Al Capone and Manny Horvitz. Well showcased when they all recommend killing Nucky, whereas Jimmy wants him imprisoned (and Richard categorically refuses to kill him). Gyp Rosetti talks his way out of his own permanent retirement by successfully convincing Masseria that killing Arnold Rothstein and Nucky Thompson instead is the most sensible and economic decision in these uneasy times. While Masseria is initially skeptical about Nucky and Gyp makes a point about encroachment, when Gyp fails to deliver, it doesn't take long for Masseria to get rid of him.

Later, Gyp shows up at Nucky's black tie party holding the dog, having apparently adopted her. After getting angry, he storms off and leaves the dog behind, to Margaret's annoyance. We later find out that the Thompsons have reluctantly adopted her. When Gyp takes over Nucky's office, he takes Regina back and orders her fed.

Ironically, Eli had him beaten because he incorrectly thought that Halloran had talked to the feds. Mickey Doyle attempts to work out a deal with Van Alden after getting pushed around once too many times by his criminal associates. After being raped by the Commodore at the age of thirteen, Gillian Darmody gets her revenge years later after the Commodore has a stroke. She beats him mercilessly and eventually goads Jimmy into killing him. Rose Van Alden is not pleased with her husband impregnating Lucy Danzinger and intending to pass off the child to Rose as abandoned. She slaps and bites him before storming out. Two episodes later, she serves him with divorce papers. Tonino asks clemency for his cousin, which is apparently given, but Gyp Rosetti brutally kills the man anyway. In the Series 3 finale Tonino gets even and backstabs Rosetti.

After a rather long conversation, the thug identifies himself as Al Capone. Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky start out the show as young upstarts still in the service of Arnold Rothstein. Meyer Lansky's yelping assistant who irritates Jimmy in "Ourselves Alone" is Benny "Bugsy" Siegel. Season 4 introduces J. Edgar Hoover who is only 29 and has just been appointed as the acting director of the relatively unknown Bureau of Investigation. "The Good Listener" gives us both Joe Kennedy — just thinking about getting into the alcohol import business which would make his fortune — and Elliot Ness — giving a press conference on his first day of the job — in the space of one episode.

Boardwalk Empire / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Nucky with Margaret, especially when he visits her at the hospital at the end of the pilot. Van Alden buys Lucy a record player after she becomes depressed and suicidal due to months of isolation (at his insistence) while she's pregnant. It's actually an equally humanizing moment for both of them. Al has a soft spot for kids, both his own son and Jimmy's son Tommy. Frequently subverted with Nucky's liberal attitudes toward all people and races. He deals with the Black community, but only because it's profitable. He hired Eddie Kessler in spite of the bad reputation that Germans had after the Great War, but he uses this fact to shame and guilt him. He supports women's suffrage, but only because he thinks he can control their votes. Julia's father's reaction to Richard showing up on his doorstep with Tommy, covered in blood. He calmly orders Julia to take Tommy to his late son's room (something that had previously caused him to become violently angry) and has a lucid discussion with Richard. He might be a drunken asshole, but he keeps his composure when blood's been spilled. Mickey plays with it when he slaps Willie Thompson for trying to steal a box of booze but finally reconsiders and allows Willie to take it anyway. While Mickey sounds like he's taking pity on the kid, it's left ambiguous if Doyle is only being nice to avoid Eli's wrath.

Boardwalk Empire / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Boardwalk Empire / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The producers spent millions painstakingly recreating 1920 Atlantic City in modern-day Brooklyn. As with HBO's earlier series CarnivÃ le, the writers have put much time and effort into creating an entire world in the show and doing the proper research into real life figures. Eli has a book on public speaking by "Dale Carnagey", who not long after changed his name's spelling and is now remembered as Dale Carnegie. Michael Stuhlbarg researched Arnold Rothstein so thoroughly that the writers often asked him how Rothstein would handle a situation. The conversation between Nucky and Harry Daugherty about how Warren Harding would take the nomination at the 1920 Republican convention is almost exactly what the real Daugherty actually said at the time. The play Eddie Cantor gives to Lucy to read, which gives its title to the episode "A Dangerous Maid", was the first play by George and Ira Gershwin. The cyclone that Daugherty and Smith reminisce about in "A Man, A Plan" really did rip through their home town in 1885, and poor 10-year-old Mary Shackleford was an actual casualty. "The Good Listener" has a scene where a reporter is quizzing Al Capone about how gangsters are portrayed in movies. That was taken from an actual interview Capone gave to Variety in 1931. In the last season, after the seven-year Time Skip to 1931, Luciano is shown with a scar and a droopy right eyelid. It's only acknowledged once, and Luciano gives only a vague and dismissive wisecrack in explanation. What happened was that in 1929, someone—Luciano never said who—abducted him, beat and stabbed him, and dumped him in Staten Island. The scar and the droopy eyelid were the results of that attack.
