Supposedly this image comes from the final episode of this season, which will also be the final episode of the series. Will the program end during the trial? Or will the series opt to show Capone behind bars? The gangster is one of the show's few real-life criminals to end up in jail, Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg) having been murdered a few years before and Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza) eventually kicked out of the country by the United States government.

Nucky Johnson, the real life counterpart to the drama's lead Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) lost his empire and died quietly from natural causes years later.

Boardwalk Empire returns to HBO for a fifth and final season Sunday, September 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
