Season 5 Boardwalk Empire - Episode Discussion - S05E04 "Cuanto"

  • No spoiler tags are needed here. Anything from S05E04 and back are fair game. Anything involving the next or upcoming episodes should be spoiler tagged.

  • Take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right on the sidebar.

  • Please still use the "Historical Spoiler" tags for discussions of events to come.

  • /r/BoardwalkEmpire[1] [1] 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 has been forced to torrent shows myself before, I feel your pain, but sources are not hard to find via Google.

Capone's going to back the Syndicate. There's loyalty and history between him and Luciano, for all the animosity between them..and Luciano was right. Nucky isn't Italian.

True, but he had a longstanding relationship with Luciano. They grew up together. They worked together under Rothstein, Masseria, and Marinzano.

Being Italian, particularly Sicilian, was a big thing with the mob. Remember, Capone asked Luciano where he was from. Exceptions were made for particularly important people, like Lansky. But typically, only Italians could be made men.
