Rothstein was actually ahead of the curve with this deal. The D’Alessio brothers signed a 500K lifetime insurance policy and Nucky wanted them all dead. Rothstein received 2 million and gave one million to Nucky, keeping a million for himself and the cherry on top, he avoided being indicted. Genius.
that whole analogy when he made the move when playing pool, about how he purposely puts the ball there without pocketing, so he is covered at least 1 move ahead.
I love how at first A.R. was reluctant to cough up the million until Nucky says he also wants the location of the remaining D'Allesio Brothers. This made it all free since A.R. had life insurance out on them worth the same.
Difference between Nucky and Jimmy. Jimmy was a soldier, a gun, and more interested in fighting enemies than making friends. Nucky was interested in making deals and putting others on positions where they owed him.
Jimmy was always a footman, never a general. He never could make out in terms of strategies. He was prone to violent outbursts, always had to speak his mind - he could never play the long-haul game, which has led to his untimely demise. Imagine how far he could've gone with Richard and Nucky on his side. They could've probably put all rival gangs in the ground or behind bars and control all of organised crime at that time.
I love seeing Al Capone in these earlier clips with Nucky and Darmondy and later in the series he forgets all the Atlantic City stuff and Charlie has to remind him who Jimmy was lol.
@@dalemcilwain Richard has no criminal background nor their honor code but he is scared by ww1 in body and mind by being sniper in the trenches, has saw way too many faces blown to pieces with his scope. One of reasons why 20's criminal world was so brutal is that there was many men with war background and did not give shit about taking life.
@@dalemcilwain Yes but that kid does not have revolver what he reloads with intend to use it, instead just giving boy good beating he blast him with shotgun cause he sees boy as part of criminal life and thus fairgame. Black or white, enemy or friend.
In the previous episode Harrow is the one that suggested a way to draw out the D'Alessio brothers would be to go to their extended family in Philidelphia and kill them. Richard goes "I'll kill the mother...hm...and the sisters and the dentist (Their brother). That would make them stick their heads up." and Jimmy gives him an almost "dude wtf" look as if that's going too far.
The guy sitting in the chair must have been blind if he didn't see the barber back away and Jimmy just walk up with a knife. Big mirror in front of him
Idk why but they cant notice for some reason. Once i saw a video of a guy in a barber in real life and like 2 guys walked up behind him with pistols and shot him to death. No one saw it coming
I dont know if people realize but Rothstein was a criminal pioneer in many vices and periods of time in his life. Check out his bio book. I think at one point he had a bail bonds business and long standing ties with the lawyers and judges on his clients cases. So his criminal clients had security from persecution. For a premium of course. Also he had very strong ties to tammany hall which was the dominant political party at that point in time.
don't think nucky Thompson was necessarily the villain, as much as he was an anti-hero so to speak. Especially since there was other "bad guys" around like Gyp Rosetti, Arnold Rothstein, Richard Harrow, Al Capone, Jimmy Darmody, Big Jim Colosimo, Chalky White and other who were way worse than Nucky. Like Gus Fring, Nucky was a Businessman, a deadly one, Who wasn't afraid of getting his own hands dirty, a good example is when he put 2 bullets thru Jimmy head.....
One of the reasons Rothstein hated Nucky because he didn't understand how much so one person who wasn't at mere intelligent than him or important than he within underworld hierarchy. Had accumulation to such status and power in such a small demographic of the country. Not understanding his boardwalk was a gateway to any and every man's most fiend indulgence. Making their leisure in other worldly aspects, namely legislation conjuring. Only knocks from his front door.
This still doesn’t change the facts that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5 million people in Wales which means if kangaroos were to invade Wales each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos. 😃

It’s closer to $15 million. However, that’s not so important. It’s an absurd amount of money and must of been a large percentage of his bank account.
Never forget..."It's easier to fool someone than it is to convince them that they have been fooled".

Piss poor casting accepted by an ignorant audience, Al was a bear of a man and softly spoken. SG portrayal is simply way off.
That was the syphilis causing memory loss.

We see he does in the afterlife.
