'Boardwalk Empire' Finale: Nucky's Showdown With Jimmy (VIDEO)

It was a showdown two seasons in the making, and finally in this week's season finale, it was Nucky versus Jimmy on 'Boardwalk Empire' (Sun., 9PM ET on HBO). After all the damage and ruckus Jimmy has caused Nucky over the past season, it was inevitable that it would come down to the two of them.Jimmy was once Nucky's right-hand man. He was the heir apparent to Nucky's bootlegging throne in Prohibition-era Atlantic City, but it just wasn't enough for Jimmy. Unfortunately, his ambition was more than his intellect could handle, and he found himself in over his head.
In the end, Jimmy never stopped talking, as if he thought he could sweet-talk his way out of his own execution. He appealed to the fact that Nucky had never killed anyone and asked him to consider the future when all this is done.
But this is a Nucky who's fully embraced his darker side. He shot Jimmy mid-sentence, and then told him as he was lying there, "I am not seeking forgiveness." Then he shot him again.
Be sure and return later today for AOL TV's exlusive Gangster Index for a more in-depth analysis of this season finale.
