Nights in Ballygran starts St. Paddy's day-eve-morning (there has to be a quicker way to say that) when Margret awakens to beer barrels being unloaded in her alley, prompting her making soda bread as a ham handed way to work Nucky. Rebuffed the soda bread get's tossed in the garbage and by evening Nucky's colleague James Neary gets tossed into a 'paddy wagon'.
Prompted by Eli's swing and a miss with his speech and then his haymaker at Nucky's chin, Eli finally lands one when he reminds Nuck that he has a wife at home (someone to pat his back when his head in the toliet bowl).
Before the dawn Nucky goes to Margret door , ''I don't have time to play games'' he improbably reads her, goes for it when ends up putting himself between the widow Schroeder's legs, her hallway wall and then later her life.
The genius of Ballygran just get's better with time like a bottle of Jameson. "Nights in Ballygran" This clip is from the series 5th episode and generally regarded as the episode that Boardwalk Empire hits it's stride. Which seems quaint by todays streaming series habitually raping my eyeballs in the premiere episode. Probably just me BWE feels a little cooler a little less desperate. As I write this it occurs to me that even I am not immune. In the words of Curly Howard "I resemble that remark".
Boardwalk Empire created by Terence Winter is set chiefly in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era of the 1920s and stars Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson. Winter, a Primetime Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer, created the show, inspired by Nelson Johnson's 2002 non-fiction book Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City, about the historical criminal kingpin Enoch L. Johnson.
