Complete story — includes the ending

Chalky confronts Nucky at gunpoint and demands they get rid of Narcisse. Richard asks Nucky where Jimmy is buried to keep Gillian in jail; in return, Nucky employs him for a hit. Richard sends Julia, Tommy, and Paul to his sister. Nucky tells Narcisse that Chalky wants to meet. After an attempt on Torrio narrowly fails, he puts Capone in charge. Knox/Tolliver sets up an eavesdrop for the big meeting but no one shows; Eli is called to the Albatross, where Nucky puts a gun to his head until Willie intervenes. Tolliver confronts Eli in his home; they fight and Eli beats him to death. Chalky meets Narcisse at the Onyx but his bluff of giving Daughter's whereabouts is met by Narcisse revealing that he has Chalky's daughter Maybelle. From his sniper position, Richard hesitates long enough that, when he pulls the trigger, Maybelle has moved to the table and into the shot; she is killed and Richard is mortally wounded by one of Narcisse's men. Narcisse is arrested and turned by Hoover into an informant on Marcus Garvey. Chalky retreats to Havre de Grace. Nucky sends Eli off to Chicago, where he is met by Van Alden. Richard, imagining his reunion with his new family in Wisconsin, his war wounds healed, dies peacefully under the pier.
