===Summary=== [[File:Nucky 3x04 promo.jpg|220px|thumb|right|[[Nucky Thompson|Nucky]] realizes he needs to reestablish his authority over [[Owen Sleater|Owen]].]] [[Nucky Thompson]] calls for [[Owen Sleater]] while he is having sex with [[Katy]]. He summons Owen. Owen tells Katy that Nucky is in a bad mood again and she encourages him not to hurry. Nucky assembles his men at [[Mickey Doyle]]'s [[Mickey's warehouse|warehouse]] and orders them to avoid [[Gyp Rosetti]]'s blockade of [[Tabor Heights]] and use backroads through the [[Pine Barrens]] to transport liquor to [[New York City|New York]]. Mickey is dubious given that the dirt roads will be icy until the Spring and looks to Owen for clarification. Nucky is furious at his authority being challenged. He reasserts the order and ends the meeting. He then questions Owen about the thief [[Rowland Smith]]. Owen admits that he has not looked for him since [[Manny Horvitz]] died and Nucky insists he restart the search, suggesting that he use [[Prohibition Agent]] [[Stan Sawicki]]. Eli tries to speak to Nucky about getting more responsibility and pay but Nucky tells him that merely letting him go to prison was the last favor he is willing to do him. Owen has Sawicki meet them at Smith's reported hideout. Sawicki got the address from a contact in the Philadelphia branch. They find the backwoods house filled with crates of liquor; their own and other bootleggers. Nucky leaves Owen and [[Owen's man|one of his men]] to wait for Smith. They ambush him when he returns to the house. They are surprised by how young he is. Owen calls Nucky for further guidance. Nucky drives out to question Smith. While they are at the house it is raided by Philadelphia Prohibition Agents. They kill Owen's man and Nucky's bodyguard when they find them outside. Nucky, Owen, and Smith hide in the basement while the agents search the house. They are trapped there for more than a day as the agents wait for Smith. The prohibition agents clear the building of liquor, loading it into their vehicles. The boy claims that he is not quite sixteen and tries to charm Nucky into giving him a job. [[File:Mickey and Ramsey 3x04.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Micky is fooled by Sheriff [[Ramsey]].]] Eli drives Mickey out to Tabor Heights to quiz the new Sheriff, [[Ramsey]]. Mickey asks what is being done about the murder of [[Victor Sickles|Sheriff Sickles]]. He assures them that he will take care of Rosetti. Satisfied, Mickey plans to go against Nucky's orders despite Eli's reservations. He gets an angry phone call from [[Arnold Rothstein]] asking for his shipment which solidifies his conviction. He tells his men not to stop for anything except fuel in Tabor Heights. Suspecting that Rosetti might be setting a trap, Eli decides to drive up to Tabor Heights ahead of the convoy to check things out. When he gets there, he notices that Rosetti has Ramsey's loyalty, and Rosetti's men are getting into positions. He tries to warn the approaching convoy of the ambush, but the drivers blow past him. Eli can only listen as the trucks drive straight into the ambush and are gunned down by Gyp's men. Gyp's people strip the bodies and plan to dump them in a mass grave. As they oversee the exchange, Gyp himself is more concerned with deciding which of the town's waitresses to bed. [[File:Nucky shoots Rowland.jpg|220px|thumb|right|Nucky shoots [[Rowland Smith]].]] When the agents eventually leave Nucky, Owen, and Smith emerge from the basement. Nucky offers Smith a cigarette and then shoots him in the back of the head. Owen is shocked by the unexpected murder and Nucky uses it as a lesson that he is to be respected and feared. Nucky returns to Atlantic City and Eli comes to find him to tell him what has happened. [[File:Margaret canvassing.jpg|220px|thumb|left|[[Margaret Thompson]] canvasses for participants in her prenatal care class.]] [[Margaret Thompson]] faces resistance from the nuns of [[St. Theresa's Hospital]] to her new prenatal care classes. [[Sister Agnes]] goes through a lesson plan redacting "infelicitous" language despite its scientific basis. Margaret and Dr. [[Douglas Mason]] try to maintain an understandable lexicon for the sake of the students. She canvasses the boardwalk for potential students and runs in to [[Edwina Shearer]]. Mrs. Shearer says that she already knows what she needs to and declines to attend. When she gets home Margaret reads in the paper that the wreckage of [[Carrie Duncan]]'s plane has been discovered. [[File:Luciano meets Masseria.jpg|220px|thumb|right|[[Lucky Luciano]] meets with [[Joe Masseria]].]] [[Lucky Luciano]] is summoned to meet [[Joe Masseria]]. [[Meyer Lansky]] prepares Luciano for the meeting, suggesting they offer a 2% tribute and negotiate to 5%. Masseria demands a 30% share of Luciano's heroin distribution profits in exchange for allowing Luciano to operate in his territory. Masseria warns Luciano against trusting his Jewish partners because they are not his people. [[File:Al and Sonny.jpg|220px|thumb|left|[[Al Capone]] tries to teach his boy [[Sonny Capone|Sonny]] to fight.]] [[Al Capone]] readies for his day and notices that his son, [[Sonny Capone|Sonny]], has a bruise on his face. [[Mae Capone|Mae]] tells Al that it happened at school and that Sonny is being bullied by a new boy. Al rails against the bully attacking someone who is practically deaf and Mae reminds him that it is a special school and all the students are. Al arrives for work at the [[Four Deuces]] brothel and is disgusted to receive a handful of sticky cash from [[Jake Guzik]]. He criticizes Guzik's unkempt appearance and urges him to take better care of himself. That evening Al tries to teach Sonny to defend himself but scares the boy to tears. He embraces his son, apologizing for upsetting him. [[File:Al Capone 3x04 promo.jpg|Capone goes looking for [[Joe Miller]].|220px|right|thumb]] [[Dean O'Banion]]'s man [[Joe Miller]] assaults Guzik when he is making his collections. Miller mocks Guzik's appearance and body odor as he beats him in front of a crowded bar. Guzik returns to the Deuces and tells Al what happened. Al goes out to find Miller and beats him to death. He then goes home to Sonny and play him a song on the mandolin, putting the boys hand on his throat so he can feel the vibrations of his singing.
