Not quite. Capone's syphillis didn't cause deafness in his son, although if he passed it to his wife there is a chance he was infected early. According to several sources, his son developed the equivalent of a serious inner ear infection as a young child and lost some of his hearing.

I have a feeling that "showgirl" that's having agent Nelson's baby will have a girl and Nelson will abandon them both.

or










he ends up treating that whore like a queen.

He winds up killing them both in the name of Jeebus.

I think that has already begun with the phonograph. He treated his wife in AC like she was his cousin (minus when he sexed that ugly beast up after getting her all hot in the restaurant kicking arse )

Hard to get a read on Nelson...dude is fit for a straight-jacket for sure. Will be interesting to see what happens when "the child" is actually born. Yet another interesting sub-plot in the show.

Nelson is by far my least favorite character in the show but is one interesting piece of work... I'm not sure what it is but something crazy is going to happen with him and the showgirl.

Seems like Nelson is slowly going over to the dark side. Is he in business with "the weasel" looking dude that changed his name? I mean he was just hanging out in his office.

I believe he was buying the phonograph from the weasel. Remember what he asked that dude last "Would you call Nucky Thompson fun?"

yeah but the line where he says (paraphrasing) : "mr doyle do you admit to running alcohol out of this establishment?" When the booze is all around him, without busting him? Not the crazy FBI agent we've seen so far. Seems he's building a slow tolerance to AC.

I think showgirls craziness might be rubbing off on him. They are a match made in heaven.

Maybe I missed this earlier in the thread, but didn't his wife go through something last season where she could have a surgery to enable her to have children, and we thought Nelson was going to take Jimmy's money and send it to her, but he sent her a note instead and the money to Jimmy's wife? I say he keeps the child for his own family.

And yes, he'll probably off the bitch after she gives birth--me thinketh she knows too much.

I had alot more respect for him last season. But, this season i see him slipping into a darker role to be honest.


Idk how much darker he can get. He sniped that guy in is second episode I think. And then he went on a D'Allessio brothers killing spree by himself.

that it's a gift from "god". You also have to remember that his wife wants nothing to do with AC.

I noticed when she was in AC she was eyeing the baby incubator place on the boardwalk. Wouldn't at all be shocked if he uses that as the angle for "getting" them a baby.
