With Donnie serving as an informant, the general took advantage of Nucky's absence from Atlantic City to start various counterattacks.
First, he used his previous favor with David Jabbar to have Eli Johnson release Vince, and then he pulled out the big guns.
Today, a four-man team arrived in Atlantic City.
Leading them was Diesel Mallard, an upright Federal Investigator!
"Since the general was arrested, control over Atlantic City fell into Nucky's hands. We are here to restore the glory of our predecessor and arrest this man who disrupts the order in Atlantic City and flagrantly defies the national constitution!"
Inside a boarding house, Diesel Mallard was brainwashing his subordinates.
At the moment, Diesel Mallard appeared incredibly excited. To him, investigating Nucky didn't seem like a dangerous task.
Because he had a precedent to follow!
His predecessor had risen rapidly in his career after investigating the general and successfully putting him behind bars.
