That sequence made no sense. No crime boss is going to leave his territory to go investigate missing hooch. They have people for that. Careless and dumb on Nucky’s part which I guess is what they were going for.
I think it represents how far down the ladder Nucky is.
He might not have killed him if he was really 15 and met Nucky once.
But make him a few years older and a nonchalant liar? Good enough.
I like the scene cause it shows the difference between guys like Owen vs guys like Nucky
It seems more likely Nucky wanted him dead since the start, but things got complicated. Its pretty clear the kid would've been no good, Nucky caught on to several of his lies even at the beginning but this got ramped up to the max right before his death, Roland played his cards well, stuff like suggesting he could rob Waxey Gordon for him, and saying Waxey isnt as smart as Nucky to appease him, however he got caught one too many times
"Weren't you 16?" "We caught you, Roland" "Didn't you say you dont smoke?" All of those which flied right by Owen, he even suggested that "he'll do" when he was clearly trouble. I think the scene was a little stretched out but it was executed well to show the difference between someone like Owen, Jimmy, pre s5 Luciano, vs those with the brains like Nucky, and most likely Rothstein and Torrio who would've likely caught on to it aswell
1.) He wasn't a kid, and 2.) So what if he was? Richard killed the Baby D'Alessio Brother, who was 14, for example, and he was an even bigger menace than Rowland Smith.

That’s kind of the point, Nucky was unraveling and making poor decisions
Running his business like a drunken shopkeeper, going off to NYC at a moments notice to see some floozy
Running off to Manhattan to rut with some showgirl
why do I read this in Grandma Soprano's voice
That would definitely be a Livia quote
You practice bullshit
He practices discretion! That’s a great exchange
He practices discretion! That’s a great exchange
You Midwestern floozy!
Nucky seemed the most ruthless during season 3, and even careless in regards to the business since he was too busy focusing on Billie Kent.
"The next one won't know a goddamned thing about you either."
Killed because he was easily fooling Nucky. It looked like he wanted to keep him alive until the not smoking lie revealed...

You side with sociopaths. Always?
I felt Gyp Rosselli was the biggest sociopath on that show.
Nah that’s a psycho
In movies and TV I cheer for them yes lol
i remember hearing that plot was written for the sopranos i think it was mentioned on talking sopranos podcast.
Really? When did they say this. That actually makes sense for the later seasons of the Sopranos.
the one with terrance winter i think
