Watching the first episode again on a whim, I feel more and more that I still work hard. Decide to write a spoiler.

The story begins. In the background of the American Prohibition, Nucky is the treasurer of Atlantic City, and his younger brother is the chief of police. The local political circle is calling for trouble, and all profitable industries are involved. In the public, he is a well-known and well-known official. The Prohibition began, and the treasurer NUCKY, who was already well-known in the local area, began to be his second liquor dealer. He bought alcohol smuggled from Canada and inferior alcohol produced by illegal underground alcohol workshops, and then sold them to gang dealers in other cities or local urban entertainment venues at higher prices.

The purpose of NUCKY’s dinner with the Italian gang’s DEALER was to discuss the purchase price. During the period, the young gangster couldn’t help but impulsively report the demand and ask for the price directly. This made Nucky feel very upset and drove him away from the table. The elders continue to talk about business. Here is a description of Nucky's character characteristics. He doesn't like young people to be sharp, and they don't talk about business in the old style style of their generation. Another protagonist must be mentioned here, Jimmy.

Jimmy started working as Nucky's small attendant at the age of 12, until three years ago, his brain became hot from the Princeton University arranged by Nucky to join the army to participate in the First World War. After returning (that is, during the beginning of the story), Nucky arranged for him to be his little driver, and another young man who had finished college took the position Jimmy was supposed to be in. This makes Jimmy, who has seen the blood and blood experience, feel very unbalanced. I hope Nucky will give him a chance to show his fists and kicks, while Nucky feels that he has no hair on his mouth and is not strong (don’t like the sharp-edged characteristics of young people), thinking about you at the beginning. Follow the path that Lao Tzu has arranged for you (to complete the university), and that position is not yours yet, so you just don’t justify him and ask him to be more patient. During the business talks with the Eastern European owner of the underground winery (in the church), Jimmy was joked by the Eastern European owner (drinking alcohol mixed with methanol) and caused conflicts. Nucky yelled outside, Jimmy secretly told This boss's grudge is written down.

Going back to the dinner table with the Italian gangsters, Nucky later offered them a very high price (6W seems to be) and asked to mention it. The old Italian guy froze for a while, and finally accepted this condition, but he felt in his heart. Secret hatred. The next day, the two of their brothers (should be brothers) (the old handsome guy in the Italian gang talked about business and the young black guy who ran away) appeared in one of Nucky's industrial casinos, and won 9W as Nucky’s dismissal. In revenge, Nucky secretly endured the loss.

Speaking of Jimmy, while Nucky was discussing business with the gangsters at the wine table, Jimmy got acquainted with the driver of the old handsome gangster who also served as a soldier. After Nucky made it clear that he wanted to cultivate Jimmy's patience, Jimmy, who wanted to do a big business, wanted to do it on his own and came up with a plan of two birds with one stone. The first to inform the underground wine shop in the church to attract the attention of the FBI was also regarded as retaliation for offending him by the Eastern European boss at that time. Then I called the little fat I just met, set a card on the road to stop the Italian black list men from Nucky who had finished loading the wine, and killed them because of the courage of the little fat (left a lucky escape), and then opened The train laden with alcohol drove away. (He's cruel, so it should be a big thing)

Jimmy branched to a paragraph.

Now it’s the branch of Innocent Women. In the Women’s Alcohol Abatement Conference, Innocent Women saw Nucky's splendid and stalwart husband's good man image, so she found Nucky's office the next day and confided to him the facts about her husband’s alcoholism. I hope that Nucky can find a job for her husband. , And Nucky gave the innocent girl a sum of money that would allow her family to spend a winter, and then ordered Jimmy to send the innocent girl home.

However, the tragedy was that the husband who was drinking at home saw that his wife was sent home by a driver who drove a Rolls Royce, and he was secretly upset. Later, he found the money from Nucky under his wife's bed. He was prone to domestic violence and slapped the innocent woman a few times and left.

Going back to the scene where the two Italian brothers were looking for trouble at the Nucky Casino, Nucky was upset after the brothers’ misfortunes. The alcoholic husband also saw Nucky and called him. Nucky was angry and found out that she was an innocent female husband and took him. The innocent woman's money came to gamble, and she was so angry that she was wounded by a cotton palm. The alcoholic husband was also very angry, but he knew that his status could not be to Nucky, so he had to vent his resentment on the pregnant innocent woman, and beat her to a miscarriage.

Nucky had already learned that his client's subordinates were killed and robbed after picking up the goods from him. After some reasoning, he learned that it was Jimmy. However, this year is an election year, and no murderer can be found to have a certain influence on myself and the director's brother (it is not easy to explain to customers). However, Jimmy is his own confidant and it is not easy to confess him. At this time, I learned that the innocent woman was abused by her alcoholic husband and had a miscarriage. I thought that it was the money she gave that indirectly caused her tragedy, and she couldn't help but secretly contact her with guilt. At this time, the robbery and murder case was in need of a scapegoat, so he used his skills to kill two birds with one stone (again, two birds with one stone, old wet!) and ordered the director's brother to kidnap the alcoholic man to a boat in the sea, beat him to death, and sink into the sea. In the rally market harvested by fishing the next day, the illusion of "the murderer was unintentionally salvaged" was created to make the people think that the murderer was killed by revenge (the usual reputation of alcoholics should not be good). On the one hand, I found the guilty one, and on the other hand, I tried to make up for the guilt in my heart for the innocent female hidden.

End of the innocent female branch.


Why the old Italian who didn't understand the joke was killed but I don't know.
Since it is written from memory, there may be deviations in the details, please forgive me
