He laments that his driver was less than twenty Nucky calls it a tragedy. It reads “liquor kills.” His gaze tracks a rope from the car door over the yard arm of the livery sign where Kendall has been lynched.Ĭhalky has Kendall's body brought into the livery and summons Nucky and Eli Thompson. Chalky ducks out of the livery into the rain and is halted by a scratched message on his car door. He instructs Kendall to bring his Packard round to the front and smokes a cigarette. In the livery Chalky has his team relabelling the diluted liquor. Chalky oversees the unloading while Nucky whispers to his assistant Eddie Kessler, asking if Eddie knows what motherfucker means Eddie guesses it is a “schwarze” (German, meaning black) word. Chalky agrees and they shake on the deal. Nucky calls Chalky sensitive and counters with 35 percent. Chalky notes that Mickey has changed his name to Doyle, calling Mickey “motherfucker.” Chalky offers 40 percent and tells Nucky that he skipped 30 percent because Nucky thought he would accept the same deal as Mickey. Chalky is disappointed at the low percentage and Nucky reassures him that it is the same percentage he gave to Mickey Kuzik. Chalky asks how they will split the income from selling the whisky and Nucky offers a 20 percent share to Chalky for repackaging it. Chalky estimates that he can turn 500 bottles into 3000. Chalky's operation dilutes the whiskey with water, replace the alcohol content with fermented potatoes and repackage it.

Nucky pauses and asks Chalky what he thinks of the delivery. Chalky mishears him and says he does not care if his team agree or not. Nucky jokes that Chalky is like Simon Legree (a cruel slave dealer character from the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe). Chalky instructs his team to unload the hearse warning them that he will be doing a bottle count and will take a drop of blood from them for every drop of whisky missing. Chalky has his driver, Kendall, open the hearse up – it is filled with crates of Canadian Club Whisky. Nucky jokingly asks the horse if it has run at Saratoga.

Chalky notes the driver’s tardiness and he says that his horse is not exactly Man’O War (a race horse). Inside, he is greeted by Nucky Thompson and Chalky.
