The tragedy of Nucky is that he never paid attention to the details in his relationships. Nurturing partnerships generates loyalty, and loyalty is priceless. He wasted so much of his time chasing profit and completely forgot that his objective was power.
Chalky: "He ain't come after whats yours." Nucky: "That's because I mind my business." Arnold: "What would you know about it conducting yours like some drunken shopkeeper?"
Chalky White has to be the most serious no-nonsense character ever created. Never laughs, never cracks a smile, has a permanent don't-fuck-with-me scowl on his face.
@@clawzx1195 chalky white is based on a real person ..the real nucky helped out black bosses in Atlantic city in those times there was always a main black leader and that's what the chalky character is based off on..the narcisse character is based on Casper Holstein a black boss from harlem ...both of those characters mostly likely had similar issues against each other as the show demonstrates
@@Kruppt808 Moe Greene was based on Bugsy Seigel and Hyman Roth was based on Meyer Lansky. Implying both Hyman and Moe were business partners and friends.
Nucky really was a SOB. Friends as long as he needed you, and not a minute more. He should have backed Chalky here. Should have dealt with the good “Dr” the way Luciano finally did.
Nucky did ultimately come through for Chalky though. Narcisse took over the North Side with Masseria’s backing and demanded Nucky help him kill Chalky. Instead, Nucky tried to help him escape safely. It almost didn’t work because Mayor Bader cut a deal with Narcisse behind Nucky’s back and the police almost killed him and Maitland. Also in season 5, Nucky gives him money while he’s a fugitive and lets him hide out at the club.
Chalky saved Nucky's life. So Nucky got him a club on the Boardwalk! A black man running an Atlantic City nightclub! But Nucky is supposed to go to war because Chalky can't keep it in his pants?!
zlistcelebrity Not only in the underworld, look at politics, were so called “lifelong friends” ditch each other if their political survival is at stake...true friendship is very very rare
Nucky sure likes to preach, but not much for practicing. Billie Kent turned his business to shit. Not sure why he refused to help Chalky here either. Chalky was one of his most loyal partners if not thee most loyal. Not to mention he saved his life, repeatedly, from Gyp.
Hal Jordan Hal, I can't argue, because I've never actually been able to watch the show -- terrible, personal circumstances. All I know is what I've been able to infer from the clips. But once upon a time (and still, I think), I had a broad knowledge of film, and if you like Michael Pitt (whom I agree is terrific), he has the lead in a great movie which I believe is his first -- Bernardo Bertolucci's 'The Dreamers', based on Bertolucci's own experience coming of age as an obsessed cinephile in the movie-mad Paris of the '68 Leftist student uprisings. It's the only other thing I've seen Michael Pitt in (he plays an American college student in Paris), and it's a terrific film. Have a good day.
@Hal Jordan the show was stellar throughout, even though it felt rushed in season 5 and there were parts of season 4 that dragged on a little bit. (also, killing off Rothstein off-screen was sad)
Like he said I’m sure any other situation He would’ve helped but like Nucky said That he wasn’t about to risk it all for some girl… not to mention Nucky was tryna remind him of his Fam as well to not make a stupid decision over the wrong female…. Nucky even said they can work something out, but Chalky seemed hell bent on going after Narciees at a certain angle that would expose the whole distributions and raise brows amongst all of them… they were helping each other out up until that point because it became pointless and highly ridiculous situation over a female that most likley was connected to Narcees to begin with .. in that world everyone is suspicious. Chalky got kitty whipped for a min lol
@@Rtb323 All fair points but I sill emotionally wish Nucky had stood by him and let's not forget Nucky himself risked everything because of that girl that was somehow linked to Rothstein. But logically you are right about Chalky putting a girl above business & his own family a mistake that seems to get repeated over and over not just in movies & shows either.
Chalky did make one major error besides the most obvious one. He believed that Nicky was his friend. They are Business partners and nothing more than that. Nucky has been where Chucky is currently in this scene. Lost in Desire and Rage.
Humble Opinion 43 Samurai Nucky tried to save Chalky’s life at the end of season 4. He got the police to escort Chalky and Daughter Maitland out of Atlantic City not knowing the police were under Narcisse’s payroll.
I guess it depends on your def of ‘friend.’ It wasn’t all chess moves w them..they were loyal to one another..had each other’s best interest at heart, beyond the business.
If anybody's not minding their business, it's Narcisse, it is clear he is encroaching upon Chalky's club and territory on the North Side, Nucky should've been completely up in arms to aid Chalky because where would Narcisse have turned his head next? Nucky's territory and that involves a North Side that is against him and then he has to face Harlem.
True, but at the end of the day, Nucky is a business man, not a soldier. That means his first instinct is always going to be to talk and negotiate, not retaliate with force.
What this scene shows from me is the parallels between both these characters both similar and indifferent. Nucky Thompson learned some hard lessons from the last two seasons prior about keeping his business all business. Yet he didn't see the enemy within his Gates later on till the end. As much as it pains me to say this, chalky white still a black man in the 1920s, with little to no power, with the only leverage he has that he's a means to in end. Nucky gives him only respect because he makes money for him. Chucky fails to realize that he thinks he has his loyalty because he saved him once. Nucky gives him a slight nod of understanding because he has something that he doesn't have, solid family unit that he throws away due to desire and lust.
Nucky literally risked his whole business/life due to being sidetracked by Billy Kent just a season ago. Now he's all high horsey about Chaulky doing the same thing. 🤦♂️
Problem is that Billy, while a pleasant distraction, wasn't just a puppet put in his way to screw him over. The piece of ass with the sugary voice was a deliberate plant by Narcises to throw Chaulky off and it worked brilliantly.
Hypocrisy does seem to be an underlying theme in this show. At least, in what I’ve watched so far. It’s less overt than in the Sopranos, but it’s there.
Nucky talking some nonsense here when he says he minds his business and only his business. Fool almost got wiped out by Rosetti because he was too occupied over a showgirl in New York while letting his operations slip.
@@pirobot668beta true. Looks like he was trying to give chalky some words of wisdom. In my life experience always taught me the lesson those words of wisdom I ignored.
Your as good as they need you, when they do. Once they don't, all ties and business you secured as to assisting them is meaningless. Even if your partnering to their situation to which you were willing to extend help depended on their lives.

Real drama in all different directions here. You feel betrayal for Chauky as he had been loyal to Nucky. But when Nucky asked him for proof, he had nothing to provide. So feeling Narcisse out actually seems like a wise next step. Especially since Chaukys judgment is questionable because of the girl.

Nucky reprimanding chalky about minding his business is hypocritical since not very long ago ,he was running around manhattan at a moments notice to rot with some showgirl.
Nucky should've seen what's what, taken Chalky's side and gotten rid of Narcisse. He was swayed too much by the power of money and all hell break loose. There are no honest men and this is why this system needs to burn to the ground. Don't be a gangster: be a revolutionary.
I would say that Mariah Dillard, Cottonmouth and Diamondback's plot in Luke Cage season 1 is a parallel of Valentin Narcisse, Chalky White, and Dunn Purnsley's in Boardwalk Empire's fourth season. Cottonmouth's office in his club has the same layout/overlooking view as Chalky's office here. Mahershala Ali bears resemblance to Michael K. Williams, and Erik LaRay Harvey was in both shows, playing Purnsley and Diamondback.

Honestly nucky not supporting chalky here never made sense. Chalky had backed him just the year prior and narcisse was another New Yorker moving into Atlantic city. The writers not having nucky back killing him was kinda dumb in my opinion
Nucky was in the same situation as Chalky in season 3. Head over heels for the showgirl, Billie Kent. Yet he lectures Chalky about minding his business. 🤣😅 Nucky is right but he's also a hypocrite.
Nucky gave him solid advice here chalky was a complete idiot for that girl lost his wife his home kids everything & she wasn’t truthful about anything.

How do you like your fucking nightclub, on the Boardwalk? You have any idea the bullshit I had to put up with? The strings I had to pull, the palms I had to grease to make this happen? Already said thank you by saving your ass.
And this place evens the score.
You've got a family, Chalky.
Children.
A wife who loves you, a daughter about to be married.
What we gonna do about Narcisse? Let me talk to him, feel him out before you do anything.
I'll give you a minute for that.
Just.

Thanks?
That black guy is a good actor.
@@capoislamort100 right
white guy's not too shabby either
Chalky "rutting with that showgirl like a drunken shopkeeper" sound familiar Nucky?
"I just like to keep my johnson hangin' in its rightful place"
-Chalkey
Chalky fucked up when he trusted that animal Blundetto
Number One, Go out & Find The Guy That Sold You That Suit~!!!
Nucky reprimanding chalky about minding his business is hypocritical since not very long ago ,he was running around manhattan at a moments notice to rot with some showgirl.
Nucky changed after he got off that asteroid....just sayin 🤷♂️
Funny as fuck
Nucky should've seen what's what, taken Chalky's side and gotten rid of Narcisse. He was swayed too much by the power of money and all hell break loose. There are no honest men and this is why this system needs to burn to the ground.
Don't be a gangster: be a revolutionary.
Nucky was 100% right...
Is that the same set as Luke Cage?
I would say that Mariah Dillard, Cottonmouth and Diamondback's plot in Luke Cage season 1 is a parallel of Valentin Narcisse, Chalky White, and Dunn Purnsley's in Boardwalk Empire's fourth season. Cottonmouth's office in his club has the same layout/overlooking view as Chalky's office here. Mahershala Ali bears resemblance to Michael K. Williams, and Erik LaRay Harvey was in both shows, playing Purnsley and Diamondback.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 met him briefly at New York Comic Con a couple years ago, Diamondback's actor. Dude was walking through one of the upper floors in a full on BE worthy suit.
Funny, cause the type that he’s describing is exactly the type to go “ello guv, you want business?”
- Let me re talk to him. Feel him out.
*hard cut to next scene, Nucky, walking in through the door, annoyed*
- I couldn't tell shit, what the fuck am I, a mind reader?
Id have his back if he had mine when my chips were down
She was a harlot despite her smooth voice….a dangerous woman that only causes trouble with her supposedly tragic ways and het fake innocence.
But did she hold a gun to his head ???? 🤣🤣🍻excuses
So he doesn’t remember how he was when he was with Billie Kent?
Maybe he is wanting Chalky to learn from his mistakes.
They made Chalky so foolish in season 4
Chalky threw it all away for some jelly
how do you like your fucking nightclub? on the boardwalk?!
LOL I hated Nucky at this point but that always gets me
Honestly nucky not supporting chalky here never made sense. Chalky had backed him just the year prior and narcisse was another New Yorker moving into Atlantic city. The writers not having nucky back killing him was kinda dumb in my opinion
Nucky was in the same situation as Chalky in season 3. Head over heels for the showgirl, Billie Kent. Yet he lectures Chalky about minding his business. 🤣😅 Nucky is right but he's also a hypocrite.
Nucky gave him solid advice here chalky was a complete idiot for that girl lost his wife his home kids everything & she wasn’t truthful about anything.
Mind!
What's the song she is singing
Year 3 was great ,the choking fetish with bobby cannavale ,show ended week ,he betrayed "maranzano " loses atlantic city &Cuba ,he sold 1000 Tommy -guns to IRA ,in previous episodes ,Steve Buscemi killing young Michael Pitt ,he was the linch-pin keeping Luciano &meyer away ,&Jeffrey Wright as a "sell-out " celebrity intellectual heroin dealer .
Still, it’s a shame what happened to chalky and how it ended
What happened?
No, wait, don’t tell me. I’m only on season 1 episode 3, and I do intend to keep watching. ☺️
@@dewilew2137 So sorry!! his story line is one the of most fascinating, theres a lot of Chalky in the entire series, its worth the watch! great series!
"WUT DAT MEAN😤😠"
How that one woman destroyed everything the Chucky had women are dangerous
Nucky got a lot of nerve lecturing Chalky about letting a woman get in the way of "business". Billie Kent ring a bell?
