Boardwalk Empire - Hoover flips Narcisse

Yes... sir...

[samus]

The opening of this scene reminds of Chalky's last words to Narcisse - "It's all a dream to begin with, ain't nobody ever been free."

[parapoliticos]

It took less time for the FBI to flip the all powerful Narcisse, than what it took to flip Adriana La Cerva.

[lighthouse]

"You are just a peddler and a pimp, sitting in a jail cell". It was nice watching Narcisse finally get stripped of his fake veneer of eloquence and sophistication. Hoover's words were cold and brutal, nowhere for Narcisse to hide.

[happywanderer]

The hypocrite Narcisse giving the big speeches about Libyans and mocking Chalky for being too friendly with Nucky. Then he gets flipped by uncle Sam himself.

[ozzymosley]

"Who are you?"
"The one asking questions."
Right to the fucking throat, I love it.

[louthegiantcookie]

The guy playing Hoover is brilliant. He seems so collected and polite, but you can tell there's this sadistic monster lurking underneath the veneer of civility.

[gabos]

3:27 Narcisse whispers: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.." which basically means, "There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings".

[beazy]

Jeffrey Wright and Eric Ladin put on a master class in performance art in this scene.

[redhairmarimo]

Seeing Narcisse's disgust at saying "sir" was palpable. Very good acting.

[mobiz]

This is poetic justice for Narcisse, but not nearly enough. I need to see him suffer more for what he did to Chalky.

[jackashmore]

I feel like there’s a group of people who only watch hbo clips off YouTube than the actual shows and I love it

[shangtsung]

I love how the veneer begins to crack at 2:07 with his nervousness on full display. Looking for a way out, touching at his face in extreme discomfort. So satisfying to see Narcisse broken.

[andrewbroering]

Always enjoy seeing a very intimidating character get muscled by an even scarier one.

[daauthor]

Narcisse finally got broken down by an even bigger pimp than himself. One of the biggest pimps of all time. That pimp J Edgar Hoover.

[shuangray]

I love the answer that Narcisse gives when Hoover asks the question, "Who do you think gets to decide what the truth is?", and his response was, "The truth is what those in power wish it to be". Great answer!

[YD-uqfi]

Throughout all of Boardwalk Empire, no one even once said, "Myah, see?". I feel cheated.

[euclideszoto]

That moment you realize that the most vicious man you have ever met was Hoover.

[anewbchapter]

As much as one can dislike Hoover, seeing him so masterfully dismantle Narcisse is incredibly satisfying.

[BossaNogi]

Genius acting on both sides of that table.

[julieclayton-west]

The whole production is incredible; acting, writing, set, costumes etc. Amazing series to watch and I'm thrilled I got to view it.
