Complete story — includes the ending
In 1897, Deputy Nucky is married to Mabel and expecting their first child, while trying to capture a young boy who has been thieving and peddling on the boardwalk—later revealed to be a young girl named Gillian. In 1931, Nucky drowns his grief over Sally's death at a sleazy dive, where he ends up in a drunken fight and is robbed by two women who leave him knocked out in the alley. Eli and Van Alden are held by Ralph Capone after their plan to steal the ledgers from Capone's office fails. Mike D'Angelo attempts to get the two out under cover of disposing them quickly and quietly with his own men, which Ralph agrees to avoid upsetting Al. Al returns with the movie stars George Raft and Paul Muni before they can leave and finds out about the failed theft. Chalky and Narcisse meet again, with Narcisse willingly entering the room unarmed and alone to talk to Chalky. In return for his loyalty, Narcisse will release Daughter Maitland and her child and remove the blockade he's placed to prevent anyone from playing Daughter's new record. Capone threatens Nelson, who admits to his past as a Prohi, but is shot in the head by Mike D'Angelo before he can reveal that the feds are investigating Capone. Mickey raises an army as Nucky prepares to move against Luciano, Lansky and Torrio. Daughter, afraid for Chalky's life, warns him of Narcisse's treachery when Chalky agrees to work for him but Chalky knows that he will be betrayed. He takes the deal to help Daughter pursue the success and life he believes she should have and tenderly says goodbye to her before being executed.
