No worries, Al is more than happy to finish the job. George does wing him before he reaches the cover of trees, but the gun jams.

The real kicker is that the delivery man is same the poor jackass who got a face full of electric iron from him in one of last year’s most memorable scenes…and he recognizes the man who maimed him. They give the man 10 seconds lead time to run before George is expected to shoot him.

When the delivery man asleep in the back wakes up, Al and Frank push a lot farther.

Frank shows as a real charmer in contrast to Al’s hot-headed reactionary, taking the easy way through situations and subtly motivating real loyalty.Īt the end of their evening, the Capone brothers spot a bread truck they suspect of belonging to O’Banion and waste no time in enlisting Mueller in hijacking it. Tonight he went on a little day trip with Frank and Al, making collections, tossing people out of windows, and generally having a swell time. Shannon’s marvelously conflicted former federal agent takes turns dead-panning and mugging with equal effect. Michael Shannon’s Nelson Van Alden/George Mueller gets the unenviable assignment of playing double agent between North Side boss Dean O’Banion and Cicero gangsters, the Capone brothers. Tonight they were handled very well, integrating the stories with powder keg results. The relationships of the fictional (and semi-fictional) denizens of the show to these notorious figures bring a special excitement to Boardwalk Empire when they are handled well. This week on Boardwalk Empire, we got to wade into the lives of some of the series’ better-known historical characters. **This article includes specific information about the episode of Boardwalk Empire.
