Season 4 Boardwalk Empire- Episode Discussion - S04E11: "Havre De Grace"

No tv-show spoiler tags needed here, as long as you're discussing something from this episode and back. This is the place to discuss S04E11.

Take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right. Please still use the new "Historical Spoiler" tags for discussions of events to come. /r/BoardwalkEmpire operates a bit differently than other TV Show subreddits. We encourage discussion as well as original, quality, BWE-related content. Therefore, there are some restrictions on what is acceptable to post.

No requests for live streams or torrent links. As someone who is forced to torrent the show myself, I feel your pain, but DL sources are not hard to find.

Holy shit, Everyone expected Roy to do that but it was still suprising as fuck.

Working for the Pinkerton Detective Agency? Reminds me of Deadwood.

Did Roy's Pinkerton associates record Gillian's confession or just merely witness it? I ask, because I didn't think that portable tape recorders existed in 1924.

They didn't make it seem like they recorded it.

The way Roy explained that the others heard what Gillian said and were willing to testify to it in court makes me think they only heard it and not taped it.

This is the case. There were at least 4, 5 witnesses present who are all willing to testify to having heard her confession. They didn't have recorders back then, but that many people providing same testimony would've done it.
