It’s back. Nucky Thompson has returned to reestablish his dominance over Atlantic City. No one is safe.
“First episode I kill everybody,” said Steve Buscemi, who plays the notorious Nucky on the show. “I can’t really say more than that though.” Luckily, that’s all he needs to say. Fans know what to expect, which is essentially more of the same: a ruthless, bloodthirsty Nucky Thompson who will do whatever he can to seize power and control.
“He’s not a politician anymore so you don’t see that side of him, and he’s not living in the Ritz anymore, so he’s keeping a little bit more of a low profile,” Buscemi added. “But he’s still running things basically.” Clearly.
Last night’s Season 4 premiere marked the show’s return with a bang. Complete with murder, grisly images and an insight look into the underbelly of Al Capone’s life, fans can’t wait for more, which there’s plenty more of on the way.
Here’s the official synopsis for next week’s episode: Now working as a “delivery man” for Dean O’Banion, Van Alden is ordered to keep tabs on Al Capone, joining the ascendant mobster to help keep Cicero voters “informed” at a political rally. Dr. Valentin Narcisse arrives in Atlantic City, clashing with Chalky and Nucky over the loss of an employee. In Washington, Agent Knox aligns himself with J. Edgar Hoover, acting director of the Bureau of Investigation. Harrow fails to finish a job in Milwaukee, while Eddie demands a promotion after 11 years of service. With a business opportunity on the horizon, Nucky departs for Florida.
The episode, titled “Resignation,” will air September 15 on HBO.
