Boardwalk Empire: Episode 24 Clip - "Rothstein, Lucky and Lanksy" 

"Should be gold ya aks me"

Arnold Rothstein was in the narcotics business in the early 1900's he was into everything, not to mention that Charlie Lucky took a pinch for carrying "H" in his earlier years. Like the man says, uses it once and you got a customer for life, a sad but very true statement. Millions, no BILLIONS TO BE MADE from narcotics, just gotta be prepared for a long prison term in return if you get pinched.

An underrated show for sure. But they didn’t stick the landing for the conclusion. AR’s death and Luciano’s rise to power were skipped. Luciano was always seen as a hot head. AR and Meyer would speak to him as you would a rambunctious child. “Charlie, we’re here to listen.” Then BOOM! He becomes the leader of one of the worlds biggest criminal conspiracy. Maybe HBO’s way of foreshadowing the end of GOT…

the finale is going to be wicked! Everyone good is in it. Even Arnold and the boys! Yay can't wait!

It should be gold if you ask me 😂😄💪🏽🖕🏽

Ha. You have to love these three.

And 20 years later Vito Corleone warned how dangerous and dirty a game the narcotics business is. He would have none of it.

Ooooooohhhhhh boy everything was good up until when Charlie Luciano said "By the way, we came to about this first" then Meyer "Outta Respect". Feel How you want about Rothstein He's too much of a smart man to not know something was up with that statement.... That was "OUT THE BLUE AND NOT NEEDED TO EVEN BRING UP" also. So what he heard was "So you've went behind my back to feel get and feelers out inn the atmosphere. Now y'all feel comfortable to come to me about it, since essentially if or when you except, the ones that didn't take or hadn't enough money to accept the deal will turn from business partners to enemies. That need to be silenced immediately, because with them still wanting in on the going thing... You'll have to get rid of your competition" Arnold night of been a pale face, dear below the waste, degenerate gambler lol but the man was smart as all get out. And he wrung person to have psychological warfare battle against.

@NikoAndRoman123 Probably not. In real life history Rothstein is regarded as the first big boss of the U.S. Heroin trade.

@Crosshandz You are 100 percent correct, I apologize. He was HIGHLY involved in the dope game, just like you said. Kind of a turn off now.... just saying.

lol they are going to import "chinese lanterns"

@msKCleigh Be that as it may. This is still a great TV show. YES, Jimmy being whacked didn't need to happened. We all loved his character, but I just have my doubts that you'd abandon a show as incredible, well-written, and enticing as Boardwalk Empire. NOT trying to knock ya down just giving a little insight. You gotta admit, your reaction to the Finale is all the more proof to its in ingeniousness.

it was nothing like today thay didnt know the effect of this highly eddective drugs

It was a terrific show....until the episode wherein Nicky’s boss quits and Nicky has to deal with the child abuser the Commodore.....that plus the excess violence turned me off.......Rothstein character was my favorite
