Also, did anyone question why oh why Nucky's dad was living in such squalor? I get that he hates his dad and all but you'd think at least brother would give him money.
Sometimes when people get older they get meaner and more stubborn. I would think their father would be the sort of man who would refuse to admit until the last minute that he needed help. And if you gave him any he might pop you upside the head with that poker.. 
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
