We had business across town.
Apologies.

Come down from Buffalo, like I said.
He don't speak? - I told you about that.
- No.
In Castellammare years back.
You pinched somebody's chickens or something, right? But Magaddino brings Sam down personal for this part of the operation.
- Right.
- Well, here we all are.
It's $200 an ounce.
Straight from China.
- The fuck does that mean? - He said five pounds, $15,000.
And he doesn't appreciate you being rude.
I hope you don't mind.
You were gone all night.
I was beginning to get rather worried.
- I lost track of the time.
- That happens when you're in love.
You are, aren't you? No need to be embarrassed.
I envy you a little.
But You have to be careful.
- About what? - Dreaming about things that cannot possibly come to pass, that were never yours to begin with, because that will only wind up hurting you.
You smell of the sea.
We'll hole up here, get you some help.
Eddie, I don't know what the hell you're saying.
Stay right there.
Lay that iron on the ground.
Face me.
A man get himself killed like that.

They're at the hotel, the hospital, everywhere.
How many guns do you have? Enough for me and mine.
What's that supposed to mean? - You come round here looking for an army? - Yes.
Ain't that just something fine? 'Cause I ain't heard one peep about it till now.
This isn't the time for hurt feelings.
I ain't say nothing about how I feel, like you ain't say nothing except, "Jump, boy.
" I never called you Owen is dead.
I can't reach Eli.
Eddie is in the car with a bullet in his gut.
He needs a doctor.
I came to you for help.
What is it you would like to do? Go on out and fetch him in.
Set up a cot and stow the car around back.
You safe here for the nonce.
I want it right in the middle there.
Behind me, peacock feathers.
- Nice, but where we gonna find one of those? - On a peacock.
Then I wanna find me one of them cuckoo clocks, put it in the corner.
- Get the hos on their toes.
- Sure.
Howdy, Red.
What do you hear? - What an unexpected surprise.
- Ain't all surprises unexpected? Of course.
That's what makes life so exciting.
But I thought Atlantic City wasn't the best place for you right now.
Well, I can't think of anywhere better.
In fact, I like it so much, I'm pitching my tent.
Hi ho.
What is that? Nucky's desk from the Ritz.
- Easy, easy.
- He won't need it no more.
What happened to him? Same thing happens to everyone, just sooner.
Mr.
Rosetti Gyp.
Gyp.
You're always a welcome guest here, but I have a business to run.
And you'll keep on runnin' it.
Everything gonna stay the same.
Only now you'll have a pal in charge.
What do you say, Strawberry? It's what I've always hoped for.
Well, how about some breakfast, then, huh? We've been on the go since midnight.
Make yourselves at home, and we'll do whatever we can to see that you're comfortable.
Tommy is not to come down here.
Keep him in his room.
Lock the door.
- He's not here.
- Just put him on the line.
I just told you he's not here.
Look, I know Torrio's bullshit.
Tell him to pick up the phone.
Who are you again? - Where's Capone? - Thought you said Torrio.
I want you to listen closely.
My brother is there.
You find him.
You put him on.
Nah, there's nobody's brother.
Elias Thompson.
He's there.
He has to call me at - What's the number? - You don't know it? Eddie does.

This one big favor.
You understand? Master Samuel.
You know what I need you to do? I have some idea, sir.
This strictly between us.
Maybelle, your folks This here ain't none of their business.
I'll make it worth your while.
Let me see him.
I don't know what I can do.
You're a doctor, aren't you? I'm a medical student.
And this man needs to be in a hospital.
Can't take him to no hospital.
Gonna have to be right here.
In the kitchen? I can clean out his wound.
Try to control the bleeding.
The rest I don't know.
This could ruin me.
You realize that? We all take care of each other, son.
That's how it work.
Fill up as many pots as you have.
Get them boiling.
Sheets, towels, tablecloths, anything that's clean.
There's no ether, of course, so I strongly suggest you get him drunk.
Wash your hands, please.
I'm going to need help.
Bring me alcohol.
Sanitize my instrument.
- Come on, it's 15 grand.
- I don't know Magaddino.
Yes, you do.
I don't know him, Charlie.
All right.
Well, I do.
And there's 50 pounds of white we borrowed big from Masseria for.
We gotta start moving it, 'cause what we gotta pay off You didn't hear what happened last night? Your mother served pork chops? How the fuck do I know? Nucky's Irishman, he went after Masseria.
They sent him back in a box.
Whichever way it goes, we need to be very careful now about who people see us do business with.
He's from Buffalo, Meyer.
And it's 15 grand.
Okay, look.
I couldn't fucking sleep last night when I was running the numbers on what we're gonna owe.
You don't think I remember? Down to the penny? Everything connects, Charlie, whether you know it or not.
You need to stop and think it through.
All right? You're making my head hurt.
Let this one go.
- Yeah.
- I'm serious.
I said yeah.
- What's his name? - Eddie.
I can't call him that.
Kessler.
Mr.
Kessler, can you hear me? What's that? It's just something he's been babbling.
Give him some more whiskey.
He's on the verge of alcohol poisoning already.
Okay, okay.
Get started.
I'll need you both to hold him down.
Hold him.
Hold him! Okay, all right.
It's in deep.
You expecting somebody? Chalky White! Paging Mr.
Chalky White! Y'all keep him quiet.
Should I keep going? Giuseppe Colombano Rosetti.
My friends call me Gyp.
How do I address you? You doin' it.
I'm doin' it.
Okay.
You know what's going on, don't you, around here? Some kind of ruckus over on the white part of town.
That's all done now.
I'm gonna be running things.
People tell me you the man to see on this side of the fence.
I come to pay my respects, Mr.
White.
Do we really need all these guns? Not if you put yours down first.
Look at us now.
We're almost kissing.
Okay, okay.
All right.
Okay, okay, it's out.
It's out, Eddie.
I'm not looking to put my hand in your pockets.
However things used to work, I don't operate that way.
I mean, look at me, look at you.
We got a lot in common, huh? And what's that? We both got left out in the sun too long.
Maybe you a little longer, huh? You just ain't done cooking yet, friend.
I'm gonna treat you good.
Better than you been treated before.
That's all I come to say.
Can we shake on that? One more thing.
How about I slip 25 G's in your pocket right now, you let me walk in there, drag Nucky Thompson out by his dick? What make you think he here? If I don't stitch him up now, he won't last another five minutes.
What do you say? I ain't seen Nucky going on three weeks now.
- That's not what I heard.
- Oh, you heard wrong.
I pay that man his cut and he leave me to my business.
Now what happen to him ain't none of my concern.
Still, I'll go on in and take a look.
One way or the other, I'll still pass you the 25 G's as a gesture.
Got a little private affair going on right now.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
And I'd like it to stay private.
She see all y'all gents marching in, gonna cost me more than money.
That's something else we got in common.
We're both romantics.
Well, maybe you is.
I just aim to keep my johnson hanging in its rightful place.
I know some skirts like that, too.
$25,000.
Nucky Thompson.
Tell your friends.
I really want us to get along.
Look like we gonna need some more guns.
You can take your hand off now.
Unless you intend to asphyxiate him.
You, make sure they don't come back.
Will he live? I'm just a student.
That's a whole lot of money on the North Side.
I'll pay you.
Is that what you want to hear? I ain't talking about me.
You trust your men? I don't trust nobody, Nucky, never did.
Get me out of here.
You can name your price.
I already named it.
The club? On the boardwalk? How can I give you what I don't own anymore? What about him? Just take him somewhere safe.
- See that he's comfortable.
- He got any family? I don't know.
Let's go upstairs.
Come with me.
Come on.
Let's go.
- The fuck? - What do you think you're doing? - I told him we had to go upstairs.
- Who gives a fuck? It's all the same cathouse.
You want some, too? I'll tell Mr.
Rosetti.
Hey, she'll tell Mr.
Rosetti.
What are you doing? Just a walk around the grounds.
You say it, dear, but tell the truth.
You know that's always best.
We're going to Julia's.
Is that her name? It's an innocent question.
Yes.
Pretty girl, pretty name.
She doesn't look blind.
In the photograph.
That's mine.
My life.
You have no right.
I know it isn't fun to be stuck inside, but sometimes we have to put up with things that we don't like in order to get what we want.
So, jacket off.
Hang it up neatly.
Go on.
Ice cream later.
Could you two come in here? Please.
- What's the problem? - I'm hoping there isn't one.
I tried to explain to you this morning.
I suppose you didn't understand.
I have to remind myself you're not really a complete person.
He doesn't belong here.
Of course he does.
This is the only home he has, not in some fantasy world of yours.
Mr.
Rosetti wants this man gone.
He didn't say nothing to us.
He couldn't have been clearer.
You lied to me, Richard.
That's what hurts the most.
- 25 grand.
- That's a lot of money.
What? Should I bring the car? No.
No, I don't need the car.
But But how How will How will you go to the theater? I'm not going to a show tonight.
Then I will see to your supper.
It's all right.
It's all right.
You - You can have the evening off.
- No, no, no.
There is still too much to do.
Eddie, do you have any family? Yes, of course.
A wife.
Two boys.
Really? Where are they? Dreyer Dreyerstraße.

Where is that? I don't understand.
Yes, yes.
Very famous.

" "If you can trust yourself" "when all men are doubting you.

All due respect, General Custer, this ain't no spot for a last stand.
Go on back to the honky-tonk and round the boys up.
It's all right.
He's Eli's oldest.
They were left over from yesterday.
Call them day-olds, old bread, rock bread.
Used to soak them in sweet milk.
Best thing I ever tasted.

White in private.

Too old for that now.
Are we stuck with each other? I'll go down the road with you a mite further.

I want you to walk back slowly.
Get away as far as you can, you understand? Willie, go now.
You brought my son in on this? They came by the honky-tonk looking.
I cut a deal.
