Richard loved Jimmy. "I could take care of this for you" was his way of telling him not to go. But jimmy was to hurt and done. Richards hand twitching at the end of the scene was perfect. He was ready to whack everyone for his boi
@@jackdaone6469 just from the clips I can tell that Richard wanted to move on, but was literally wearing the war on his face. Jimmy was stuck in the trenches, like you said....
I remember watching it the first time and waiting for Richard to show up and save Jimmy. He never showed... Now that I'm a few years older I understand why Richard didn't follow him, because Jimmy was a solider. Richard needed to take care of Tommy.
@TheRealist 811 Richard also would have never even killed Nucky, Capone even tried to get Richard to kill Nucky and Richard immediately said no. Richard later on would tell Nucky that he spared his life because he and his wife were good to him.
I would have loved to see how this would have played out in an alternate universe, have Richard snipe some of them out and have it go on with jimmy living
First it would be eli who awaited jimmy with a shotgun. While trying to pull out their pistols, it would be owen and then nucky if jimmy didn't try to over power him in the scuffule
I wish he had followed..... Truly..... The friendship between these two. Genuine as could be. Richard didn't go, because of the respect and love he held for Jimmy. And he knew Jimmy would maybe not come back. A shame. I'd love to see how an alternate universe had gone.
richard was the only real friend of Jimmy,who was loyal and Jimmy was the only person in Richard's life,who saw him a person and a friend.Jimmy went to die knowing that Richard would protect Tommy .
+hatice bayrak Exactly. Jimmy was absolutely disgusted with his mother by the time he went to his death. The way he looks at her in the episode prior was so sad. He knew she wanted to be the "mother" now that Ang was gone. When she said Tommy would've even remember, that REALLY upset him. It was nice that Richard made sure Tommy really did remember his mother (not meemaw). Jimmy never would've left Tommy alone with just Gillian, but knowing Richard was provided for (at least for the time being) he knew Richard could help out Gillian w/ Tommy.
@@patrick4662 the sad part is , jimmy was being truthful and wasn't joking when he said he'd find richard a wife . richard just didn't believe it at the time and thought jimmy was messing with him . but he later on does find a wife
@@mithvibes4727 for real. And honestly they were great friends... when he was mean to richard by that time they had already started fucking up the jimmy character.
So sad. When Richard says "I can take care of this for you", I think we all know, and Jimmy as well, that he could. If Jimmy had said "ok, lets go", Nucky, Owen, Manny, and Eli would have died instead of Jimmy. Jimmy didnt want to live anymore though, and he left Richard alone. I love that Richard still has Jimmy's son though, and that he's transferred his allegiance to Tommy.
As a vet these two characters were all that mattered to me, and once jimmy was killed and richard got revenge and ended under a bridge to kill himself really hit hard and i just couldn’t find interest in the rest of the show. I really enjoyed luciano and capone but i just couldn’t maintain interest.
I love Jimmy's look when Richard is talking about the war again after Jimmy told the joke and the energy was lite. He's like not again Richard c'mon, but he had so much love and respect for him that he just tells him politely, its time to come home. So cool the dynamic between the two and that this had to be the last time they saw each other. I wish this show was like 10 seasons minimum and they just stretched the story line out more, had more WW1 flashbacks of these two, and more scenes. They are by far my two favorite characters in any series hands down.
I love this episode. Jimmy goes to his death with such courage and you get the impression Nucky thinks he's in complete charge of the situation but Jimmy dies with dignity.
The thing Jimmy was fighting for most since episode one was something he no longer wanted, he was broken and thought having power would repair that, well it wasnt what he expected and he just lost the will and said fuck it
@@tacticalpossum7090 literally, yes , nucky shot him and was in control . but morally , jimmy was . u can tell with nucky's demeanor , he's terrified of what he's about to do to jimmy but does it and tries to justify it by saying he's not seeking forgiveness before shooting him one more time but u can clearly see he's trying to BS himself more than jimmy
Jimmy tells Richard "It's time to come home" but secretly, he's even more broken than Richard is, dealing not only with PTSD but the self hatred that inevitably comes with incest. The first time I watched this scene I saw this as Jimmy legitimately consoling Richard, being someone who has faced war and managed to reintegrate into daily life, which is easy to believe since not having half of your face blown off is definitely a good thing. Watching it again, Jimmy's definitely more fucked up. Even if he considered suicide, Harrow decided that he wanted to live. Jimmy didn't have the slightest doubt that he wanted to die. One of the best series of all time, it's a shame the last season wasn't quite up to par.
"The self hatred that inevitably comes with incest" idk why but that cracked me up. You said it likes its a normal thing we all experience, like "we all know the self hatred that comes with fckn your mom right, its not easy to overcome" lol
Jimmy knew the whole time what was going to happen, it was very respectful of him to go out on his own. He died for his son and his mom, and Richard, to make sure nothing else happened to him.
@@saz6950Jimmy knew exactly he was gonna die that’s why he left his dog tags with his son and also richard already told him nucky wasn’t gonna forgive him. Even though eli was the reason behind the hit nucky decided to keep eli alive cause that’s his brother. Jimmy didn’t have nothing to live for after angela died.
Aww, the bromance is over. One of the best things about Boardwalk Empire was the understanding and bond the Richard and Jimmy had, and how they always looked out for each other and would fight for each other right down to the last bullet.
I think Jimmy sensed exactly that...especially, that scene on the steps when she says "they grow up so fast". From that point on you see him spending more and more time with him. Also, when he told Richard "its time to come back home...promise me you'll try",followed right away by telling him not to join him...sort of said to me, Richard wouldbe the one taking care of his family.
Jimmy knows he is walking into a death trap especially after Richard said previously "he'll never forgive you" music stops right as he tells Richard "this is something I gotta do" .....record.......... ..... ......then looks at his son knowing this'll be the last time he'll see him. Epic moment!!!!
"This is something I gotta to do myself" He knew he was gonna die....and I think Richard knew to...just that look jimmy gives him at 2:14..... and the radio cut out as he said it...Irony
@@thetributemaster1469 he wanted to die Angela dying was the straw that broke the camel's back for him. In many ways he was already dead after coming back from WWI. If he still had intention of fighting he would have came strapped and brought Richard with him.
I've always really liked Richard's line is season 3 when he tells Nucky "Jimmy was a soldier. He fought, he lost". Basically his version of "don't hate the player, hate the game"
I don't know if jimmy knew for sure he would die. Nucky once said, " I could have you killed" and jimmy responded, "but you won't". However, this scene is a hint to the audience. Its one of the few times if only that we see him laughing with a real friend. There is something about this scene that conveys a goodbye. Especially in the dialogue where jimmy is basically telling Richard to live for the both of us.
One of many brilliant scenes from this awesome series....and two of my favorite characters....I hated losing Jimmy. And now at the end of Season 4, Richard too.
Even the way Jimmy is the one handing RICHARD the drink (with straw) shows how close they were. They were both forever damaged and shell shocked but they found a bond with one another. Richard didn't even care about money and only reaffirms his loyalty to Jimmy after hearing that Jimmy would also fight for him too.
Richard- "we're still there, aren't we" Jimmy- "it's time to come home, Richard." Richard as well still didn't leave the war in his mind. Praying one day, he will make it home.
Richard is pretty damn lethal at any range, but if Jimmy had wanted back up, he wouldn't have just strolled in there with him. He's a sniper. He would've observed from a distance, acquired his targets (Nucky and Co.) and waited for things to go south. When Eli pulled the shotgun, he would've been dropped followed by Owen and Manny, leaving Nucky for Jimmy. Jimmy invited his own execution, and made it clear to Richard.
This scene and Jimmy/Richard's death scenes left me utterly depressed. I didn't feel like eating or sleeping for days. They're such well written and powerful characters that I felt like i had lost two friends or brothers. I have suffered from depression and anxiety my whole life, and PTSD more recently. I can't invest time in watching the whole series again because I'm not ready for their deaths. Yes i know I'm a weirdo
He knew what was up. For one, he showed up to the meet unarmed. And when Manny says "you're gonna get your revenge" he says "is that what this is?", as if he already knew he was being set up but has resigned to it like you said.
Yeah that comment was actually before I knew he came out and told Nucky, kind of surprised how accurate I was. The only sad thing is I dont know if we will even be seeing him soon, I havent seen this past sunday's episode yet but It appears as if Richard will not be in the show anymore because he served his one and only purpose apparently.
Jimmy could of seeked Harrow on all of ‘em and they would have been done ✅ for.. He knew it was his time to go “I died in the trenches, years ago” Jimmy was a wise soul, he was ready to ride off into the sunset 🌅... It was his time
Ive felt like Jimmy alot in my life. I just want it to be over sometimes, but i dont want to hurt the people i love. Thats why Jimmy made Harrow stay, Richards face told us it was over. And Jimmy didnt want Harrow to give up like he did.
Jimmy was brave about all this, I know he had to do what he did but I wish he would of just stayed home :(. I miss Jimmy and wish he wasn't dead but we all knew this was coming you don't cross Nucky... Big mistake. Oh and I love how Jimmy always makes sure Richard has a straw, he is such a sweetheart.
Season 3 was much less interesting without Jimmy Darmody in it - They should have just killed off Nucky Thompson at the end of Season 2 and made the rest of the series about Jimmy and Richard.
@@mrxxx2599 Nucky is NOTHING like the real Nucky who wasn't a bootlegger or killer or gangster,he had a lot of political power and was a racketeer but the character in this is fictional only the forename is the same (Nucky) the surname has been changed from Johnson to Thompson because of this,if he was real like Al Capone, lucky Luciano, meyer lansky etc they wouldn't have needed to change his name
Plot twist Jimmy should have took Harold as protection incase of a setup in a blind sniper vision. Jimmy would have been the most deadliest gangster from there on out.
Yeah he knew he was getting whacked. That's why throughout the episode he's seen playing with his son, trying to make amends with Nucky and getting drunk with Richard. He knew his time was running out so he wanted to make as many rights as he could before the end. That's why he didn't even bring a gun.
I wonder if Richard knows it was Mickie Doyle that assisted in setting up both Jimmy and Angela. Keep giggling,Mickie, Richard will be there for you soon.
Richard and Jimmy were the only ones who knew what the other had been through. When you come back from a war, you have no choice but to adjust to society. Life doesn't wait or stop for anyone, and it can be easy for veterans to get left behind.
Yeah of course i mean hes the only character that stars in the opening of the show, the recorded beginning of each episode . If anything when they decide to end the show he might be killed off or who knows but it wont happen until the last episode or last season but thats a stretch.
I think that's because he felt it would be too painful to do and I think in a way the horse ride he had his son have was meant to be his goodbye to his son.
Personally, if I had the choice to see Richard more throughout the series with the potential of him getting killed versus leaving him alone and alive, I might prefer the latter route. However, I think there's still more in store for his character. Nucky killed Jimmy after all. I think if Richard finds out about it - which is most definitely possible - things may get interesting.
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but it seems that Jimmy is dressed in different attire during the scene where he will be executed. When he left the house, he was not dressed in this attire. Did he change in his car? I know the directors wanted the effect of him shutting the door in sync with the thunder, leaving in the midst of a storm... but it all just seems a little unreasonable.
I hated nucky because he killed jimmy until I watched the second to last episode of season 3, fucking badass haha shotguns and tailored suits! Gotta love it
Jimmy should have been the central character in this show not Nucky. Jimmy had so much happen to him that they could have taken this character which ever direction they wanted but decide to kill him so Nucky can become a "Full Gangster" he still looks and acts like a bitch to me. RIP Jimmy Darmody A Toast To The Lost
If Hatrrow had gone with Jimmy and had sniper to back up Jimmy I wonder who he’d shoot first. You’d assume he’d shoot Nucky first since he has the gun to Jimmy’s head but then again Harrow thinks positively of Nucky and his family as shown later on when they meet
I loved watching this show, but sadly the day they killed off Jimmy, I was done with it. I've not watched this show since. As far as I'm concerned, Jimmy was the best character they had. Killing off was plain stupid. Michael Pitt and Steven Buscemi were a great team and had great chemistry. The only reason I watched this was because of Michael Pitt. Once again the studio got it wrong.
if Richard gets knocked off it's because Nucky's still alive. Nucky's the only one who really knows Richard and what he's capable of. but aside from that you're right, he's basically a ghost.
@GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y This is a biography show about Nucky's life, not some Sylvester Stallone revenge gun blazing show. You think Scorsese's gonna add some stupid bullshit in the key points of Nucky's life, you got another thing comin'.
I dont think so. If the two went together prepared for war, Nucky Owen Manny and Eli wouldnt have stood a chance. Jimmy and Richard could have won, Jimmy chose not to. Besides his own personal turmoil, I think he realized he didnt want to be King of Atlantic City, after he was for a short time. It was an empty life, and didnt fill the void in his life like he thought it would. I think Jimmy chose death. Owen and Manny are badasses no doubt, but Richard would have taken them out first.
It was bad writing the way they killed Jimmy off. He just goes alone knowing he'd be killed, leaving his son without a father, his wife without a husband. Just bad writing. Made zero sense whatsoever.
...and then Jimmy goes off to die...EXACTLY in the way that Richard had been killing others...an inch below the eye. Both of them break my heart. When Jimmy says " I died years ago in the trench"...somehow you feel a tiny portion of the hurt they'd been carrying (and dealing) all along.
Jimmy always treated Richard like a human. Richard really appreciated this.
A lot times, soldiers share mutual respect for one another, especially if they fought in the same war
MrFredstt that and Jimmy was a good guy who didn't give a fuck
We still do

Same here! They’re both such complex and badass characters
Of course…and Chalky until season 4

lmao
Yeap and james didnt even brought his gun and knife during that night .
Yep he knew. He left his dogtags with his son. That's how Richard knew he wouldn't see him anymore.
he definatley knew thats the whole point. state the obvious man ppl get dumber and dumber
That's why he told Harrow to sit back. He was protecting him and accepting his fate. He wanted it to be over.
2 coolest characters in the show, along with Chalky...
Agree with chalky and harrow, not so much jimmy.

Rothstein and Joe the Boss were by far the best characters

I wonder if Richard knows it was Mickie Doyle that assisted in setting up both Jimmy and Angela. Keep giggling,Mickie, Richard will be there for you soon.
@Killian Hennessey let's pray all soldiers come home.
Richard and Jimmy were the only ones who knew what the other had been through. When you come back from a war, you have no choice but to adjust to society. Life doesn't wait or stop for anyone, and it can be easy for veterans to get left behind.
Phone rings: off to die
I'll come with you
This is something I gotta do myself.
Soldier to Soldier.
Did Jimmy go out?
Yes
He does know, he even says to Eli after Eli comes homes from prison that "allowing him to go to jail was the last gift from him".
As a soldier I love harrow
i have a feeling Richard is gonna fuck some shit up in season 3...Jimmy was his boy
Such a great season finale. The death of a great character. I still love the show but I miss Jimmy so much.
Promise me you're gonna try..
Yeah of course i mean hes the only character that stars in the opening of the show, the recorded beginning of each episode . If anything when they decide to end the show he might be killed off or who knows but it wont happen until the last episode or last season but thats a stretch.
I bet Jimmy wishes he had let Richard come along !!!
well i think it is better to say that he didn't want to live anymore
I think that's because he felt it would be too painful to do and I think in a way the horse ride he had his son have was meant to be his goodbye to his son.
Personally, if I had the choice to see Richard more throughout the series with the potential of him getting killed versus leaving him alone and alive, I might prefer the latter route. However, I think there's still more in store for his character. Nucky killed Jimmy after all. I think if Richard finds out about it - which is most definitely possible - things may get interesting.
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but it seems that Jimmy is dressed in different attire during the scene where he will be executed. When he left the house, he was not dressed in this attire. Did he change in his car? I know the directors wanted the effect of him shutting the door in sync with the thunder, leaving in the midst of a storm... but it all just seems a little unreasonable.
I hated nucky because he killed jimmy until I watched the second to last episode of season 3, fucking badass haha shotguns and tailored suits! Gotta love it
I think he knew...that's why he told Richard to stay. Richard will take care of his son. I bet.
Jimmy should have been the central character in this show not Nucky. Jimmy had so much happen to him that they could have taken this character which ever direction they wanted but decide to kill him so Nucky can become a "Full Gangster" he still looks and acts like a bitch to me. RIP Jimmy Darmody A Toast To The Lost
D: Now Richard is lonely!!!! -dies-
All we have now is historical contingencies.
He already does know it was Nucky. He just knows why Nucky did it
If Hatrrow had gone with Jimmy and had sniper to back up Jimmy I wonder who he’d shoot first. You’d assume he’d shoot Nucky first since he has the gun to Jimmy’s head but then again Harrow thinks positively of Nucky and his family as shown later on when they meet
I’d say Eli then Owen. I think he’d shoot Nucky in the arm and then the same for Manny. Leave those two alive for Jimmy to finish it.
I loved watching this show, but sadly the day they killed off Jimmy, I was done with it. I've not watched this show since. As far as I'm concerned, Jimmy was the best character they had. Killing off was plain stupid. Michael Pitt and Steven Buscemi were a great team and had great chemistry. The only reason I watched this was because of Michael Pitt. Once again the studio got it wrong.
+TheWindyCity well, i felt exactly the same like you.. it took my weeks to finally start the next season but you truly have to continue boardwalk.
zzz another spastic...
Seven years after this comment and I still haven't watched a single episode of the series since Harrow's death.
Basically yes, Jimmy knew what was going on that's why he wasn't armed...
if Richard gets knocked off it's because Nucky's still alive. Nucky's the only one who really knows Richard and what he's capable of. but aside from that you're right, he's basically a ghost.
Should of brought Jimmy to quick scope them all.
Excuses are for losers.
reminds me of last spike and jet convo
oh fucking nucky!!
@GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y This is a biography show about Nucky's life, not some Sylvester Stallone revenge gun blazing show. You think Scorsese's gonna add some stupid bullshit in the key points of Nucky's life, you got another thing comin'.
Must be a really tasty snicker, then.
-Jimmy. You think I can't play this game?
-Nucky. I think you don't even know the rules.
jimmy looks tired
In regard to this past Sunday's episode, I think the only thing you really get out of it is that Gyp Rosetti is one weird dude lol..
I dont think so. If the two went together prepared for war, Nucky Owen Manny and Eli wouldnt have stood a chance. Jimmy and Richard could have won, Jimmy chose not to. Besides his own personal turmoil, I think he realized he didnt want to be King of Atlantic City, after he was for a short time. It was an empty life, and didnt fill the void in his life like he thought it would. I think Jimmy chose death.
Owen and Manny are badasses no doubt, but Richard would have taken them out first.
@cbarrett34 Yet he acts more noble than all the people around him.
It was bad writing the way they killed Jimmy off. He just goes alone knowing he'd be killed, leaving his son without a father, his wife without a husband. Just bad writing. Made zero sense whatsoever.
OVER THERE
My comrades could be cut into little pieces and they'd still be my comrades...This show sort of pissed me off in that regard.
ok commie
...and then Jimmy goes off to die...EXACTLY in the way that Richard had been killing others...an inch below the eye. Both of them break my heart. When Jimmy says " I died years ago in the trench"...somehow you feel a tiny portion of the hurt they'd been carrying (and dealing) all along.
