Still absent is Nucky’s estranged wife Margaret Thompson ( Kelly Macdonald). Part of the deal is that she goes free, but a vague racist comment in front of Narcisse on the way home ensures she’ll never be seen again, let alone have another adulterous moment. Pastor ( Jo Armeniox), the woman Purnsley was having his illicit affair with, and the one Purnsley was trying to track down and kill to prevent that crime causing any more damage to Chalky’s establishment. Narcisse, a doctor as he reminds Nucky often, is even bold enough to bring Mrs. But this is the cost of Purnsley’s mistake to keep the peace. Nucky’s in the room ostensibly as a negotiating friend for Chalky, and Narcisse is happy to exploit the white man slaver/house negro metaphor that makes Atlantic City racketeer irate.įor his troubles, Narcisse, a savvy businessman, parley’s himself into a 15% cut of the Onyx club earnings much to Chalky’s outrage. With his eye-for-talent agent dead, the way Narcisse see’s it, Chalky owes him a big debt. And now it’s revealed that Pastor worked for Narcisse. In “ New York Sour,” the season opener, Chalky’s lieutenant Dunn Purnsley ( Erik LaRay Harvey) made a mess of things, killing Dickey Pastor ( Jeremy Bobb), a famed entertainment agent for the colored actors, who were auditioning at Chalky’s Onyx Club (Dicky’s bored wife seduced Purnsely and the twisted Pastor barged in to watch at gunpoint, but things quickly turned out the worse for him).

A sharp, educated African-American businessman, he doesn’t mince words and is quite effective at getting under Chalky White’s skin ( Michael K. The meat of the episode by far however is the introduction of the aforementioned Dr. Someone else will be filling in for his assistant duties from now on, much to the surprised, but beaming look on Eddie’s face. He informs Eddie he’s going to Florida to check on business opportunities and leave him in charge to hold down the fort. Surprisingly, at the end of the episode, Nucky shows his gratitude (Eddie essentially took bullets for him last season). Embarrassed with himself and yet still angry, Eddie serves Nucky an ultimatum: promote him or fire him. He’s not really up for this assistant task any longer physically, but he still wants respect from Nucky who is becoming impatient with his hapless servant. Worse, Eddie’s feeling the sting of pride. Out of sorts physically from his wounds, Eddie’s not really up to snuff any longer, spilling the coffee he serves, barely able to get his boss dressed. Shot up badly last season, when Gyp Rossetti’s men tried to assassinate Nucky, his dutiful manservant assistant Eddie Kessler ( Anthony Laciura) appears for the first time this season and he’s in rough shape.

Meanwhile, Nucky’s already essentially confessed what he does to this undercover agent, so it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out and how much of a force Hoover ends up becoming on the show. Yes, he’s corrupt, but Knox’s “proof” is totally fabricated. What’s interesting about this is Knox narc-ing on Elliot is false. Edgar Hoover ( Eric Ladin) and now, supervising Government Revenue agent Frederick Elliot ( Peter McRobbie), who has been in cahoots with Nucky and company, is screwed. While he was introduced as a corrupt Prohibition Agent that met Nucky Thompson ( Steve Buscemi) and bootlegger Mickey Doyle ( Paul Sparks), it turns out he’s been working for J. This proves to be mistake when another mystery figures kills Billings and then calls up the Harrows demanding they pay the three years of taxes that Emma is behind on.ĭimwitted hayseed FBI Agent Warren Knox ( Brian Geraghty) is brighter than he looks. Harrow had been hired to kill a Plover County Associate Carl Billings by his own partners, but the disfigured war veteran takes mercy on him when the man reveals he has two children. They deal with old family wounds literally and figuratively, even putting down the family dog with a bullet. Killing spree completed, Richard Harrow ( Jack Huston) has made it back home to his sister Emma ( Katherine Waterston) in Plover, Wisconsin.
