“I need a bath, some chow and then you and me sit down and we talk about who dies.”
Team Gyp or Team Nucky? Whose side are you on? War has come to the ‘Boardwalk’ and the body count continues to escalate after Sunday’s thrilling episode, ‘Two Imposters.’ I can’t remember a faster-paced episode, going as far back as Season 1 – what a rush! We’ve seen attempts on Nucky’s life before but nothing compares to the ferocity of Gyp Rosetti. This war has been on the horizon since episode 1, but even now it’s hard to fathom such a brilliant integration of story lines – well done, Terry Winter, I’m sorry I ever doubted you. Charlie Luciano pays the price of ambition, Richard is geared for war, Chalky calls the banners, Gyp finds a new home with Gillian and Nucky is a surgeon with a shotgun! Man, I love this show!
Let’s begin in New York, the only out-of-place storyline in the episode, where Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky have fallen dangerously behind in the heroin trade. The two find themselves falling steeper and steeper into debt – pretty much a death sentence in they’re world. Ignoring Meyer’s plea for patience, Charlie reaches out to unknown buyers from Buffalo, desperate to bring in some doe to pay off expenses. Where there’s desperation, comes moxie – what first appeared to be a transaction stick-up turns into Charlie in handcuffs, busted by the feds.
