Don't know. But they could have killed the entire family like Harrow suggested in a previous episode.

Anybody else love the open hand slap Van Alden dished out in the opening?! That was awesome.

I'm thinking he's gonna let Lucy have his kid and then give the baby to his wife since they can't have one. Not sure how he"ll get the kid from Lucy, maybe she"ll just give it up.


Definitley agree Jimmy is not gonna be able to screw over Nucky in the end. He's gonna eventually take over but not that way, IMO.

yeah, I don't think it was as minute as you make it out to be. When Nucky told him what he wanted, you can tell by Rothstein's reaction how big of a deal that was......anyone know how much $1M translates to today's money? Because I'm sure it's ridiculous. Especially just to get rid of an indictment.


The reaction from Rothstein may have been the realization that he actually lost money on that bet.

Didn't they say he won $1m by fixing the world series? If so, it would be significant that he had to spend that much in bribery money to Nucky. Plus, he had to pay lawyers.

who did lucky cap? I wasnt really paying attention.

nobody of notability other than the fact that he was getting paid for the booze. I think all they were doing there was setting up the next season, kind of foreshadowing that the bootlegging business is about to get nasty.

and dont get me wrong, i love this show, but the finale just seemed a little anticlimactic.

and im not afraid to say Van Alden is my favorite character.

Nah I think they set it up perfectly. Maybe they are planning the start of the next season to go apeshit. In other words most finales go crazy, and leave with a few loose ends.

I bet they start out with craziness in the opening episode, since they left us with a ton of loose ends.

$1,000,000 in 1921 equates to $12,218,491.62

I was wondering WTF when that happened. Are they fricking over Nucky in that scene?

Torio - "Jim Colosimo was a good man don't get me wrong but he didn't look ahead."

Lucky - "He didn't look from behind, neither."

Al - "Grow up and knock it off with the stupid jokes."



Al has come around since Torio ripped him a new one about jokes

I think it was more about his interaction with the Jewish man at the barmitzvah.

I think we are going to see a frickton more action next season. This season was more like a set up, I mean, it's the birth of prohibition and the gangsters and just learning their ways into the bootlegging. We are witnessing Capone's growth from an immature tough guy to what will become (as we all know) a badass business man that completely flips the bootlegging upside down with his ruthlessness. Should be pretty awesome.

Me neither. Does anyone have a guess to answer this question?

I honestly think Jimmy got wind somehow and arranged for the impromptu leave.


thats not how i fleshed it out. i figured that the photographer made his wife leave in the middle of the night because the two were whispering and making plans. he didnt want her to run off with their money or something, so he made her leave with him in the middle of the night is how i figured it went down.

Yeah for a million dollars....in 1930. That's a shite load of money.
yeah but wont rothstein make it back since he tool out life insurance policies on all of their heads and they all get murdered? i thought rothstein was getting off easy with the million dollar price tag knowing that he would get some money back if nucky killed them all off.

I think this is it, as the Jewish man said he wears the hat of a boy. Next time we see Al, he is wearing "big boy" hats
