Goodbye Eddie:
Eddie, who was taken away by agent Knox in the previous episode, could not hold his ground. The combination of physical torture and a secret from his past made him spill the beans about Nucky.
Apparently Eddie stole from his previous employer after having an affair. He left Germany in a hurry and left his wife and children to bear the brunt of the shame. The fact that he now betrayed the trust of Nucky was too much for the old man. He dressed himself in a good suite and jumped off the window to his death.
