Band on the Run

Back inside, Samuel is finished sewing Eddie up. Chalky returns and pulls Nucky aside. He remarks that $25,000 is a whole lot of money around these parts. Nucky offers to pay Chalky more, which is really blockheaded of him and an insult to Chalky, who isn't talking about himself. Nucky asks him if he trusts his men; Chalky says he doesn't trust anybody. "Get me out of here," Nucky says. "You can name your price." Chalky has already said what he wants -- the jazz club. Nucky asks how he can promise a part of something he doesn't own anymore. Oh, would this really be the first time, Nucky? Chalky changes the subject and asks about Eddie. Nucky asks him to take Eddie somewhere safe. "He got any family?" Chalky asks. Nucky looks abashed as he realizes that he doesn't even know.

At the Maison Derriere, things are grim. Rosetti's men are uncultured slobs, throwing their shit all over the floor, breaking bottles, drunkenly fumbling with the giant harp (!), and clumsily rutting on the whores in the middle of the common room. The whores themselves all look supremely annoyed at having to put up with all of this, and when Gillian enters, she's not having any of it. She whacks at one pantsless gangster in mid-thrust with a broom. He threatens her in response, and she says she'll tell Mr. Rosetti. This only gets her laughed at by the yahoos in the room.

Gillian retreats upstairs, only to find Richard getting Tommy dressed for an excursion. Richard says they're just going for a walk around the grounds. Gillian ignores him and asks Tommy directly, instructing him to tell the truth. "We're going to Julia's," he admits. Her worst fears confirmed, Gillian goes on the offensive. "She doesn't look blind," she says to Richard, of Julia, thereby winning this season's Reading is Fundamental challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race. Richard snaps at Gillian that she had no right to go through his private photographs. She turns to Tommy and apologizes for keeping him stuck indoors, "but sometimes we have to put up with things that we don't like in order to get what we want." That's Gillian in a nutshell, huh? She has Tommy hang up his jacket and hat.
