"The Ivory Tower" is the second episode of the first season of the HBO television series Boardwalk Empire, which originally aired September 26, 2010. The episode was written by series creator and executive producer Terence Winter and directed by executive producer Tim Van Patten.
Nucky is paid a visit by Agent Nelson Van Alden. Jimmy is forced to pay Nucky a larger sum of money. Margaret is visited by Van Alden and Eli, each seeking a different side of her story as to the death of her husband.
In Chicago, at mobster Big Jim Colosimo's funeral, Al Capone and Johnny Torrio are questioned by reporters about Colosimo's murder.
In Atlantic City, Van Alden questions Nucky about the robbery and shootings he is investigating, revealing his suspicions that Hans Schroeder had been framed for them. At Nucky's direction, his brother Eli visits Margaret Schroeder in her hospital room, delivering an envelope of cash and stressing Hans's reported involvement in criminal activities. Nucky confronts bootlegger Mickey Doyle in prison, telling Doyle his operation is being taken over by Chalky White. Jimmy Darmody buys expensive Christmas gifts for his family with part of his share of the robbery proceeds.
In New York, Lucky brings Frankie Yale to Rothstein. Rothstein threateningly questions Yale about his role in Colosimo's murder.
Jimmy visits his mother Gillian, a showgirl, and presents her with an expensive necklace, replacing one she had sold to support the family during his childhood. He then goes to work, where Nucky confronts him about the robbery and shootings in the woods. After Jimmy admits his and Capone's involvement, Nucky fires him and demands an extra $3,000 share from the proceeds.
Rothstein telephones Nucky and demands $100,000 to cover his losses from the robbery, pointing out that a member of his family was among the shooting victims. Nucky refuses the demand. Van Alden visits Margaret at her home, tells her he believes her husband was not involved in the robbery, and questions her about her involvement with Nucky.
