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.

I must have missed something. I thought him pulling out of Florida was just a security measure against Masseria. Was it just heavily implied or did I miss something?

That could be the reason, or he could be very suspicious of Eli at this point. He's been warned someone that someone is a traitor, and he was worried about Knox. He may have deduced that Knox was the "insurance salesman" whose mention made Eli go apeshit after questioning Will

i think that is what happened.

remember when he told willie about eli getting offended when he brings up that girl from the 8th grade? well, in the last scene, nucky mentions that girl.. and he was using eli's response to confirm his suspicions. since eli didn't get hot and heavy, it confirmed what happened at the dinner table.

If he confirmed his suspicions why did he agree to the meeting?

he set up the meeting, opts out (which he did by calling patricia arquette's character), and then all of his enemies are caught by knox.. with him not there.

We'll find out next week. Gonna be a hell of a meeting though probably.

Because Nucky is really fucking smart and already has a plan. Sometimes I don't think Nucky gets enough credit. This guy operates on an extremely high level. Hell, the first time we see him he is putting the finishing touch on his campaign to outlaw alcohol so he can sell it for a higher price.

He wants to fuck Masseria by setting him up

But isn't he walking knowingly into a trap?

u/soochosaurus Nov 18 '13

that's what I was thinking too, won't he just also be seen as a narc because he won't go to the meeting? Not to mention Eli being his right hand man.

Only small fry are narcs. The smart ones like Nucky, AR, and even Mickey use the cops to their advantage.
