491"Golden Days for Boys and Girls" Tim Van Patten Howard Korder September 7, 2014 (2014-09-07)2.37 [9]
Awash in memories from his pier-boy days growing up in 1884 Atlantic City, Nucky remembers first catching the eye of the Commodore. In 1931, Nucky joins Sally Wheet in Cuba, and with a U.S Senator in tow, forges ties with Bacardi Rum with the hope of Prohibition's repeal in the U.S. The trip takes a strange turn as Nucky coincidentally bumps into Meyer Lansky while dining, who states he's just on vacation with his wife. Nucky questions Lansky's presence after a failed assassination attempt later that evening, thwarted by new bodyguard Arquimedes. Back in New York, an older Luciano sets up a meeting with Joe Masseria to discuss rival gangster Salvatore Maranzano and to put the Castellammarese War to an end. As their discussion concludes, Luciano excuses himself to the washroom, leaving Masseria to be gunned down at the table by Bugsy Siegel and Tonino Sandrelli. Albert White is now part of a chain gang and working prison detail in the woods when a riot breaks out; amidst the chaos, Chalky is able to snag the keys from a dead guard and escapes—though temporarily confronted by the gun-toting, somewhat mentally unstable Milton. Margaret is moving up the ranks at her job in New York but her life of independence and stability is thrown into danger after her boss commits suicide. Luciano appears before the Maranzano family and pledges loyalty to Maranzano. Through flashbacks, the early life of a young Enoch and Eli Thompson is depicted, showing their volatile upbringing and the relationship between Enoch and a young Commodore.
502"The Good Listener" Allen Coulter Terence Winter September 14, 2014 (2014-09-14)1.81 [10]
Seven-year exile Eli Thompson has hit rock bottom, now a perpetual drunk and working as a debt collector for the Chicago Outfit with George Mueller, who is now one of Capone's veteran members. Mueller's life is starting to unravel as well, as the tension at home becomes evident through the strained exchanges with his wife and children. Gillian Darmody has gone completely clean during her court-mandated confinement in a women's sanitarium and begins planning how to get out. Eli's son Willie Thompson is now pursuing a career as a prosecutor but with a possible ulterior motive. Nucky sits down with retired Chicago boss Johnny Torrio to discuss recent events and Torrio arranges a meeting between Nucky and Maranzano. Luciano, Lansky, Siegel and Tonino meet to discuss their next move, with the former uneasy about Tonino based on his treacherous past. Nucky later sits down with Maranzano and Luciano, but in doing so recalls Tonino's culpability after seeing a boardwalk caricature in memory of old flame Billie Kent. After the Maranzano meeting, Nucky arranges a private meeting with Tonino, who warns him that Luciano is plotting against him. When pressed by Nucky, Tonino offers his loyalty whenever Nucky should ask. Later that evening, Lansky is rushed outside to find a dead Tonino thrown on his steps—murdered in open acknowledgement of Lansky and Luciano's murder attempt on Nucky in Havana, as well as vengeance for Tonino's part in Billie's death.
513"What Jesus Said" Ed Bianchi Cristine Chambers & Howard KorderSeptember 21, 2014 (2014-09-21)2.11 [11]
Runaway convicts Chalky and Milton seek refuge in a house but stumble across a mother and daughter living there. Milton insists they take them hostage and accuses the mother of past wrongs and a hidden safe despite her insistence of neither of these things. In the past, Nucky as a child begins to learn how to work hard through his employment under the Commodore; while working there, he chances to meet a young Mabel, his future first wife. Margaret is brought in for questioning about her boss's suicide and Arnold Rothstein's name surfaces, in conjunction with questionable stock trading practices. Nucky goes forward with his rum dealing and attempts to persuade Boston powerhouse Joseph Kennedy of the merits of a working partnership. Luciano and Benny Siegel sit down with Chalky White's old rival, Dr. Valentin Narcisse, to coerce him into entering a protection deal. Narcisse rejects the offer, so Luciano has Siegel and another mobster kill some of Narcisse's men and prostitutes at his brothel. Following hours of tense confrontation and questioning of their hostages, Chalky kills Milton with a hammer to the head after Milton puts a cocked revolver to the daughter's head. While this occurs, the mother and daughter retrieve the dropped gun but do not shoot Chalky and instead order him to take the nine dollars they have and get out. After a heated discussion with Rothstein's widow, who threatens to sue Margaret for the money she knows Rothstein gave her in exchange for inside stock information, Margaret goes to see Nucky.
524"Cuanto" Jake Paltrow Howard Korder & Cristine Chambers & Terence WinterSeptember 28, 2014 (2014-09-28)2.05 [12]
Nucky and Margaret tentatively reconcile to deal with Mrs. Rothstein's threats. Luciano visits Chicago and tries to bring Al Capone into the Italian-only business plan and fails but while there recognizes Van Alden as the prohibition agent from 10 years ago in New Jersey. Van Alden pleads for his life after Capone sticks a gun in his mouth. Capone spares him after Van Alden makes a compelling speech, which shrewdly appeals to his ego while making insinuations about Luciano's lack of respect. Joseph Kennedy backs out of the potential rum deal with Nucky, citing "scotch and rum don't really mix". Sally is stopped by a Cuban federal patrol and tries to get out of the trouble she senses by flirting, dropping important names and bribery but these tactics only serve to aggravate the situation. After a brief struggle, Sally manages to grab a soldier's gun and starts to back away into the darkness slowly but is accidentally shot and killed by one of the soldiers in mid-sentence.
535"King of Norway"Ed BianchiSteve KornackiOctober 5, 2014 (2014-10-05)1.94 [13]
In 1897, Nucky as a young adult is a deputy sheriff for Atlantic City, pursuing marriage to Mabel while struggling against the disapproval and condescension of her father. In the present 1931, Chalky discreetly seeks out Nucky to learn the location of Valentin Narcisse. Although Nucky doesn't know, he gives him a safe place to stay, knowing the law is after him. Tensions hit their peak at the Mueller household as a family dinner with Eli Thompson and June reveals that the bitter Sigrid has been having an affair with Eli, which he—being constantly drunk and prone to blackouts—can't fully remember. Feds (including Mike D'Angelo) then show up at the Mueller house and arrest Eli and Nelson. Nucky sits down with Torrio to discuss a new meeting with Maranzano, which Torrio sets up and plans to attend. Nucky meets Maranzano to discuss Luciano but notes that Torrio has not shown, when men pull up and machine-gun the restaurant storefront. Eli and Nelson are blackmailed by the feds to work with them against Al Capone by stealing his financial ledgers or face prison and the death penalty. Having survived the murder attempt, Nucky calls Torrio, now knowing that he has been in league with Luciano and Lansky and warns Torrio that he is coming for all of them. Chalky locates Narcisse's brothel to kill him but instead finds a small girl sleeping on the couch and his old mistress, Daughter Maitland, in his room.
546"Devil You Know" Jeremy Podeswa Howard KorderOctober 12, 2014 (2014-10-12)1.55 [14]

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 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. Narcisse informs him that things are changing and the Luciano threat is rising, then offers him a job. 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. In a private room away from the eyes and ears of the visiting actors, Capone threatens Nelson, demanding to know what he and Eli are up to.

Nelson snaps and tries to strangle Capone while admitting 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. A rattled Capone allows D'Angelo to take Eli to kill quietly elsewhere and orders the incriminating financial ledgers given to him for safekeeping. Having got what he wanted, D'Angelo lets Eli go in the lobby, unconcerned with his fate and throws a crumpled bill at his feet for bus fare. 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 and her child, Althea-—who is, he has since learned, his daughter. After Daughter leaves, Chalky is led out the back, where he is unsurprised to find himself blocked off by a line of Narcisse's men, guns raised to execute him. After taking a moment to straighten his suit, he tells them he's ready, and closes his eyes with a smile and the memory of Daughter's singing in his ears.
557"Friendless Child"Allen CoulterRiccardo DiLoreto & Cristine Chambers and Howard KorderOctober 19, 2014 (2014-10-19)1.95 [15]

At war with Luciano, Nucky looks to hold onto his assets in Atlantic City. With these heavy losses, tension begins to rise between Nucky and Maranzano, with Nucky heatedly arguing to strike back definitively and Maranzano counseling caution. Deciding to take action, Nucky has Bugsy Siegel kidnapped after a gun battle that leaves Siegel with a bullet in the leg, though Luciano initially appears unmoved by his friend's plight. Released by Mike D'Angelo and assumed dead by Al Capone, Eli tries to reconcile with his son Will in a painful meeting outside his workplace. Eli walks away from the meeting, leaving an emotionally conflicted Will but does not get far before witnessing Pinky Rabinowitz kidnap Will. Nucky, Luciano and Lansky later meet to make an exchange of hostages but a limping Siegel cunningly feints his movements as the two walk pass each other, forcing Will back into the arms of Luciano and Lansky's men. Desperate to save Will, Nucky offers everything he has, while Lansky and Luciano consider his request and ask him to get on his knees. Siegel brashly suggests killing them all outright first and taking what they have but Nucky manages to persuade Luciano and Lansky by offering to take care of Maranzano within the next twenty-four hours. Knowing that ownership of the club will now go to Luciano and Lansky, Mickey Doyle tries to approach them and wheedle to retain management but is shot in the throat by an unimpressed Luciano. Nucky scrambles to prevent the meeting from turning into a full-on bloodbath as guns are cocked but can't keep Archimedes from going for his gun and getting shot dead by Pinky.

Back in the past, Deputy Nucky has now moved young Gillian into his home, where she is groomed and cared for by Mabel. The couple argue over what to do with her, with Mabel passionately against returning Gillian to the dreadful life she had at her orphanage and Nucky unconvinced she is truly little more than a thief. Before the two can come to a decision, Sheriff Lindsay calls Nucky away to deal with a pressing matter with the Commodore. Arriving at the Commodore's mansion, Sheriff Lindsay resigns and hands his sheriff's badge to Nucky, having finally reached the limits of his conscience. Once inside, Deputy Nucky is taken to a bedroom upstairs and learns the ugly reality of what it means to work for the Commodore; seeing the young girl shivering and clutching her clothes to herself within and the partially clothed Commodore hurriedly leaving, Deputy Nucky is left with the clear knowledge that the Commodore is a child molester. Back in the present day, Maranzano and his men are murdered at his office by men posing as federal agents, with Eli on hand as one of the gunmen. Lansky and Luciano chat with Torrio and agree that Atlantic City will go to Pinky. Sitting alone, Nucky contemplates everything that has happened and finally opens and reads the letter sent to him from Gillian Darmody, who pleads for him to show the same compassion and help he offered her as a young child.
568"Eldorado"Tim Van PattenHoward Korder & Terence WinterOctober 26, 2014 (2014-10-26)2.33 [16]

With his holdings in Atlantic City lost, Nucky decides to go for a swim in the ocean. In New York, due to Nucky's manipulation of Mayflower stock, Kennedy's business associates are nervous that repeal will not happen and begin unloading their shares. Kennedy suspects Nucky's involvement but Margaret convinces him to short sell his shares. Margaret meets Nucky to inform him of her success and it appears that they will rekindle their relationship but are interrupted. Nucky later returns to Atlantic City, intending to leave it forever. He meets Eli, gives him some money and encourages him to return to his family. He meets Gillian in the mental hospital, telling her the most he can do is set up a trust fund for her when she is released. It's revealed that Gillian has undergone surgery for her feigned insanity by psychiatrist, Dr Henry Cotton, while in the hospital. Back in New York, Luciano and Lansky gather crime bosses from around the country and form the Commission, a singular body to mediate relations between crime organizations. Luciano tells Bugsy to kill Narcisse who is assassinated in front of his church.

In Chicago, Capone is served a court summons after the authorities get his ledgers. While he publicly boasts that the charges of tax evasion won't stick, Capone says goodbye to his son before heading to court, where D'Angelo is waiting for him. Back in the past, Deputy Nucky finds out Mabel has miscarried, much to his shock. He is then summoned to his family home, where he physically beats his father for hitting his mother again and warns there will be consequences if harm ever comes to his mother. After returning to Atlantic City, Nucky comes across Gillian, who is participating in a parade. The Commodore promotes Nucky to Sheriff and his first task is to deliver Gillian to him. Nucky reluctantly approaches Gillian, telling her that the Commodore is willing to take her in, promising that he will look out for her. Back in the present, Nucky comes across Joe Harper who reveals himself as Tommy Darmody, Jimmy's son and Gillian's grandson and shoots Nucky three times before being restrained by revenue agents. As Nucky dies, he sees a younger version of himself swimming in the ocean and catching a coin.
