Hey.
Everything okay?
Can't sleep. Figured I'd get a jump on work.
I was hoping it was just me.
He never would've been here if I had...
If I had just...
Jimmy.
The nuns back in Cicero would send me to hell for saying it, but...
thank God he's dead.
You want some coffee?
[Kim] Sure.

Got your six-piece bucket right here.
- [woman] Thank you. - Enjoy.
[cash register beeping]
Welcome, can I take your order?
Uh, sir? I would be happy to help you.
Good afternoon. May I take your order?
Yeah.
I'd like a 12-piece bucket, extra spicy.
[cash register beeping]
May I suggest our signature spice curls?
Sure.
- Give me a large on that. - [ominous music playing]
Also, two Cokes and a side of coleslaw...

- [serving tray clatters] - [music stops]
Sorry, Mr. Fring.
[dramatic music playing]
We are currently in the middle of a process called discovery.
What is discovery, you might ask?
It's one of the most important parts of any case,
because it's when both parties are able to discover, if you will,
information that is relevant to the claims at issue.
Now this brings us to another key term, "relevance."
If a document or a piece of evidence is relevant,
that means it has a tendency to prove or disprove an element in the case.
This whole thing is just taking so darn long.
Unfortunately, high-stakes class actions like these
often move on a protracted timeline.
[Sally] Well, okay.
But some of us don't have "a protracted timeline,"
if you know what I mean.
My son thinks I should get my own lawyer.
You have every right to pursue independent legal representation.
- Having said that... - Uh, absolutely.
It's great to see the next generation stepping up, isn't it?
Thank you, Ms. Brill.
Hi, everyone.
I'm so glad to be with you today.
For those of you who don't know me yet, I'm your lead attorney, Howard Hamlin.
Just call me Howard.
And this is my co-counsel, Cliff Main.
Listen.
I know you all wanna get to the finish line.
Boy, I sure do.
But I'm gonna level with you.
Truth is, we still have a ways to go.
Why?
Because we want the maximum from Sandpiper.
We're pushing to get an extra 30 percent on top of the penalty.
Not because we're greedy, no.
Because it's what you deserve.
Now, to get your due,
may take a little extra time.
Is it worth it?
I think it is.
Because this isn't just about money.
It's about people.
It's about you. Sally, right?
Right. Sally.
And you, sir.
We're sending a message.
We're not gonna let big corporations pick the pockets of hardworking folks.
I wanna live in a world where people can trust each other.
And I bet you do too.
- [Clifford] Thanks again, both of you. - [Erin] Thank you.
[Clifford] Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
- Oh, I feel better. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Okay.
- Bye now. You take care. - Thank you.
Well, I think we just put out a major fire.
That was impressive.
- Erin, I'll see you back at the office. - Okay.
Bye, Howard.
Howard, I need a minute.
What's up?
I threw a woman out of my car,
in the middle of the street?
And I zip, I just drive right past. That's what you're saying?
I don't even...
I don't know how to respond to that.
I'm not asking you to respond.
I just need you to know that I know.
It wasn't me, Cliff. Whoever you think...
Yeah, that's the kind of thing my son used to say.
It was your Jaguar, your "Namaste" plate. It was you.
Howard, there's no harm in asking for help.
You got a lot of people in your corner.
So there's the baggie at the country club.
- Yes. - After that,
some clients, who you can't name, because of privilege,
make insinuations.
Then on Thursday, you have a business meeting,
and you witness a Jaguar speeding past.
Who were you meeting with?
Not sure why that's germane, but Kim Wexler.
She came to me for career advice.
All right.
Okay.
Of course.
[laughs] Of course.
Cliff, I know this wasn't easy for you.
You came to me as a friend.
I appreciate it.
- You can start today, Howard. - Oh, I will.
Because you're right, I do have a problem.
Just not the problem you think.
I have a Jimmy McGill problem.
- Jimmy McGill? Howard. - You'll have to excuse me.
Julie.
- [car alarm chirps] - Cancel my week.
Yes. My whole week.
Howard.

Whoa, whoa, hold up.
Justice will be served in four and a half minutes.
9 a.m. sharp.
I look forward to sitting down with each and every one of you.
Morning rush. So that's your station.
Temporarily. Of course.
But check it out: center stage.
What?
That? It's garbagio,
on its way to the dumpster. Heh.
Uh, I know that this place needs a little TLC.
But this is just day one.
Two weeks from now, you won't recognize it.
Where's Ms. Wexler?
Uh, you mean, my wife?
That's right. Made an honest woman out of her.
She's blazing her own trail and I couldn't be prouder.
So it's just...?
Me. Just me. For now.
But think of it this way:
half the work.
[sighs] What happened to the old folks? Elder law?
Uh, I expanded the mission, uh, to be more inclusive.
Here at Saul Goodman and Associates,
we welcome all ages, all creeds, all stripes.
And who is this Saul Goodman?
- You? - You got it.
What Colonel Sanders is to chicken,
Saul Goodman is to the law.
- Why me? - Because I trust you.
And...
what happened last time, I wanna make it up to you.
- [pounding on door] - I will explain at the end of the day.
Please...
You're...
You're just desperate and need a warm body.
Good luck.
- Where are you going? - Back to the MVD.
I took half a personal day for this.
What if I double your salary?
My salary at the MVD or what you were paying me before?
Whatever's less.
No, whatever's more. "More" is the word I'm looking for.
Did I mention...
the signing bonus?
I get a say in the decorating.
Open for business.
One at a time. Thank you. I'll be right out.
Viola, hey, over here.
- Thanks for meeting me. - [Viola] Of course.
Uh...
I wanted to apologize.
Leaving Schweikart, I'm sure it looked sudden, but...
Sorry I left you in the lurch.
You probably had to clean up Mesa Verde,
everything that happened there.
Kevin.
Kevin. [groans]
Anyway, I'm sure it's a lot.
Actually, Mesa Verde calmed down.
Rich moved me over to Sandpiper.
Mm. Right. I think I heard that.
How's it going?
It's pretty interesting so far.
It's a deep dive into class action.
Uh, we have our first mediation session in a couple of weeks.
Oh. Already. Who'd you get?
Hope it's not Roger Patch.
Oh, God. Patch?
With the vegan patties?
What is in those things?
It's gotta be 80 percent garlic.
So healthy.
[both laugh]
No, it's not... It's a new guy.
A retired judge,
who lives up in Santa Fe. Casimiro.
He seems fine. Smells fine.
Well, then you dodged a bullet.
I'm glad you called.
I've been wanting to tell you.
Everyone was so shocked when you walked away.
I mean...
you were a partner.
I'm sure it seemed very...
- weird. - It did at first.
But I get it now. What you're doing to help the little guy...
it's incredible.
I'm just getting started.
I really admire you, Kim.
Changing direction like that.
Sometimes I question all of it, but...
You make me feel better about the law.
[Jimmy] Hit-and-run, 15 minutes.
Shoplifting? I can, uh, knock that out in ten.
Yeah, ten.
Hey...
This ain't fine dining, okay?
Our business model is turning tables.
So, Francesca, I'm here.
Remind me again why I'm making a house call?
Sounds like money. Okay. Great.
Great work.
Mr. Ward?
Hi.
[clears throat]
I'm an attorney. I have an appointment with Mr. Ward.
So are you Mr. Ward...? Okay.
Well, good evening to you, whatever your name is...
Hello, Jimmy.
Mr. Ward, I presume.
As in...
H.O. Ward.
That is really cute, Howard.
So wait, that means, uh...
you're the guy who shanked some dude in a rumble near Central Penn?
That's very street of you.
I thought it sounded like a Saul Goodman kind of case.
All right, so, what are we doing here?
I'm tired, Jimmy.
You and me. Us.
I'm tired of this.
Aren't you? It's exhausting.
Let's punch it out.
- Are you kidding? - Dead serious.
Hoping you might get it out of your system.
Do I think it'll work? I don't know. Call it a Hail Mary.
I have the gear. I rented the ring. It's just you and me.
And Macky, to ref.
I am sorry, but have you lost your mind?
Actually, I'm as clearheaded as I've ever been in my life.
You didn't even try to hide your tracks.
The baggie of drugs at the country club.
The clients you sent to discredit me.
Another prostitute...
- Okay, once again, as usual... - Please.
I could go on.
All roads lead back to you.
It's Psych 101.
- You want to get caught. - So what?
Is this...? It's, like, pistols at dawn?
I'm trying to give you what you want.
What I want? I don't...
I think this is what you want.
You wanna beat the shit out of me? Legally?
I think you could hold up your end.
You must have gotten into a few good scrapes in the old neighborhood.
Yeah, right, I could've been a contender.
Indulge me.
Let's see what we see.
[laughing] Thanks for the laughs...
Mr. Ward.
[guitar playing lively flamenco music]
[Macky] Come on. Come on, let's go. Come on.
I need you to keep your mitts up, protect your face.
Tap gloves.
Come on.
Okay, go ahead.
Come on.
Come on, Howard. Come on.
Yeah! I'm the champ!
Hey, look at me.
Come on.
Here we go. Here we go.
Hit me.
Hey, take a shot.
Come on, take a swing. Oh!
All right, all right, all right.
[laughs]
[groaning]
Here we go.
Okay. Okay.
[grunts]
[yells]
[music stops]
You've mistaken my kindness for weakness.
I'd like to think that tonight made a difference.
I'd like to think that this ends it.
Probably not.
[groans]
How'd it go?
Pretty much as expected.
- So we're on? - Yes.
Anything in particular you want me to look for?
No.
I need to know everything he does and everyone he talks to.
You got it.
Okay, then. I'll see you Friday.
[car engine starts]
[crickets chirping]
What are you doing?
Put the ice pack on it.
I gotta see if this will work. I mean...
I got court first thing in the morning. I can't show up looking like Leon Spinks.
Why not?
I'd say you'd be missing a bet. "I'm Saul Goodman. Pow, I fight for you."
[chuckles]
How'd it go with Viola?
I got a name. Rand Casimiro, retired judge.
Wow, you wormed it out of her. Nice work.
I don't know him, but I found a picture in the Bar Journal.
Love the 'stache. That's a lot less face to worry about.
Unless he shaves.
[Jimmy] Are you kidding? Those handlebars?
- No, that's years of grooming. - True.
"I'll fight for you," huh?
Yeah.
I should have left Howard standing there like a yutz.
Instead I let him suck me into his game.
Why'd I do that?
You had your reasons.
I did?
Like what?
Because you know.
I know.
You know what's coming next.

- Hey, Mike. - Hey.
You good?
Yep. All quiet.
You guys get dinner?
Yeah. We ate.
"Bike at 5:40"?
Just a kid dropping off menus.
It was legit.
He asleep?
All right.
Hey.
Part of the reason we set it up this way is so you can get some rest.
No news yet, I take it.
It's a waiting game.
Wherever he is now, sooner or later, he's gonna end up right here.
He can't strike. Not yet.
So...
Tell your men that we are going out.
The other end of the tunnel is plugged with 420 cubic yards of dirt.
Topped with a cement pad. No one's coming in that way.
I could put more guys on the place, if that's what you're thinking.
I'll be upstairs.
[pensive music playing]
[man in German] "Who scored the winning goal for Germany
in the 1990 World Cup Final?"
No.
[woman] No.
[man] No.
Yes, Andreas Brehme.
[woman] Yes, awesome!
"Who was the first female astronaut?"
Sally Ride, yes?
[man] Is that right?
[woman] Yes, of course.
Valentina Tereshkova.
[man] Sally Ride.
[woman] Damn it.
[bartender] What can I get you?
[Lalo in German] Martini, please.
[bartender] Vodka or gin?
[Lalo] Give me whatever you like.
- [bartender] You're American? - I guess you could spot us a mile away.
Yeah, I'm here on business.
- [bartender] From California? - No. New Mexico.
It's another state.
I mean, it's like California, just less traffic, you know?
Thank you.
Little town called Jemez.
Jemez?
- [in English] I almost visited there once. - [Lalo] Almost?
Mm. This close.
Well, I'm sorry you didn't make it. It's a beautiful place. The hot springs.
Yes. That's what I was wanting, you know, the, uh... Hm.
[sighs] How do you say?
[speaks in German]
The minerals?
[in English] Oh, it's similar. Yes. So relaxing for the muscles.
Well, maybe you'll get to go there another time.
I don't think so. But it's a nice idea.
Maybe a trip to Karlovy Vary. The baths there are wonderful.
To...
- Karlovy Vary. - Vary.
Not far from Prague.
Oh, Prague. Yes. There. I always wanted to go visit there.
I'm Ben.
Ben.
Hello. I'm Margarethe.
Oh, it's very nice to meet you, Margarethe.
[Margarethe] I knew his work was dangerous,
but I never imagined such a thing.
Well, I suppose I tried not to.
That is terrible.
What kind of accident was it?
- A cave-in. - Cave-in?
He was able to save his men,
he got them out, but then the structure collapsed.
So your husband was a hero.
He would never accept that. My Werner was too humble.
What were they building there?
My husband didn't talk much about his work.
It was very secretive.
Well, surely he must have told you something.
The lawyers came to my house, I asked questions, they wouldn't say much.
Lawyers.
They went through Werner's things, took anything that they called, uh...
Oh, how do you say it?
- Proprietary? I'm sorry, my English is... - Oh, it's excellent.
I didn't care about it.
All the boxes of folders, his papers. Why do I need all that stuff?
What about your husband's men?
I mean, they must have said something to you.
Werner loved seine Jungs, his boys.
But I never even met them.
What do you mean? Not even at the funeral?
You'd think they'd want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives.
They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on, but not one of them showed his face.
Well, that is...
It's just not right.
Hm.
Let's speak of something else.
Tell me about New Mexico.
You would love it.
[Lalo] So how do you say it?
[Margarethe laughs, then speaks in German]
[Lalo speaks in German]
- [Margarethe] Not bad. Not bad. - Yeah?
People don't live in them anymore, but for centuries, they...
Here we are. My little cave.
It's nice.
So quiet.
[Margarethe laughs]
Oh, yes. All quiet.
[dog barks]
- Except for Bärchen. - Oh.
It means "Little Bear."
I'd like to invite you in.
But I have work in the morning.
Of course.
No, that's not...
When do you fly home?
Tomorrow.
Well, in another life.
In another life, yes.
Good night.
[ominous music playing]
[Barchen barking]
[in Spanish] Good morning, Little Bear.
You're the man of the house, aren't you?
Yes. It's all right.
Be quiet. Be quiet.
[ominous music continues]
[Barchen barking]
[in German] Quiet, sweetie.
Why are you so worried?
I forgot my phone, that's all.
What's the matter with you? Oh, please!
Come on, I gotta go. Come now!
Little Bear!
What's the matter with you? What do you want? What do you want?
Hm?
I gotta go. Come now.
You stay here, okay?
You stay here. Little Bear!
Stay here!
