I Well, yes, but it's for my clients.

You're gonna call yourself "Saul Goodman"?

I'm already calling myself Saul Goodman.

We've talked about this.

The skells who've been buying my phones sure as shooting, sooner or later, every last one of them is gonna find themselves in the back of a squad car.

How do I get them to call Jimmy McGill?

I don't!

I stay Saul Goodman.

They call the guy they already know.

I thought I was wasting a year of my life.

It wasn't a waste!

It was for this!

This is it!

- When did you decide to - Just now, just back there!

It just Poom!

It just hit me!

This is the way.

Kim, it's gonna work.

I I know.

I know.

All of a sudden, I've got it all figured out, but I I do.

This is right.

So, let me just I'll get this done, and then we can talk about it, okay?

I mean Uh Unless there's Is there some angle that I'm not seeing here?

Uh if you want me to slow my roll, I-I can come back and do this another day.

If this is how you're really feeling - It is.

- I say sure.

Great.

Five minutes, max.

Okay, where were we?

Just that you need to sign documents - with your legal name.

- You got it.

Then all that's left is the Notice of Entry.

Thank you, honey.

Mm-hmm.

Werner Ziegler.

Werner Ziegler.

Werner Ziegler.

Ziegler.

You know how many Werner Zieglers there are in Germany?

26 now, according to Mrs.

Ziegler.

What about "Michael"?

Like I said, I only know the names of two guys over there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Victor and Tyrus.

You.

Yeah?

Werner Ziegler.

You ever heard of that guy?

Werner Ziegler.

Uh no.

What about Michael?

He's a bald gringo.

He's in the game.

Okay.

You're good.

Okay.

South wall, pouring concrete.

What's he up to, man?

What's he doing?

So, there's nothing new going on, huh, nothing different?

Like what?

Like anything.

Mnh-mnh.

What?

It's nothing.

It's nothing, man.

A couple of skells on fourth been complaining that the stuff is stepped on.

- Stepped on?

- Mm-hmm.

You hear that, too?

They say it's different.

- Different how?

- Skells complain.

It's what they do.

Okay.

Show me.

Arlo!

My man!

Three.

Let's see what you got.

Let's go together Hey!

Wait!

Whoa, whoa!

Yo!

Vato!

Yo!

Yo!

Vato!

Where you going?

You're not going in there.

Yo!

Mouse, it's okay.

So, where's the stuff?

It's in the chair.

What, this chair?

This about the count?

'Cause the count is good.

You holding cash?

Yeah.

Got it all right here.

If you're holding my cash what're you doing up here with my stuff?

No one's stepping on it, man.

We pick the stuff from the chicken farm.

We cut it, split it, and it lands here.

I'm with it all the way.

At his chicken farm.

You pick it up how?

He puts out 10 keys.

I pick 6.

How do you pick 'em?

I just pick different ones each time.

They're all the same.

Okay, so, these these are okay.

But these This sh1t's not ours, man.

Whoa.

This is old-school beautiful.

Yeah.

You deserve it.

But, uh "JMM".

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

I didn't know.

I got it for Jimmy McGill.

Yeah, well, Jimmy loves it.

And don't worry.

I'm using it.

If, uh, anybody says anything, I'll just say JMM is my motto.

Your motto?

Yeah.

"Justice Matters Most".

Mm, nice.

There's also this.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

"World's 2nd Best Lawyer.

Again".

Oh, that's the real mistake world's second best lawyer because Saul Goodman is gonna give you a run for your money.

I bet he will.

Thank you.

For everything.

Really.

You know what?

The real trick is gonna be to get my clients to know that the cellphone guy is now a lawyer - their lawyer.

- Yep.

That'll be a trick.

What I'm thinking is, see, I've still got almost a full pallet of cellphones left, so why not run a promotion?

I-I'll make a real event out of it.

I'll I'll give 'em away, okay?

And, uh, for added sweetener limited time only um, non-violent felonies, 50% off.

You know, it's like, uh, commit four felonies, you get the fifth one free.

And there'll be friends and family, too, so you can share 'em around.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I mean, it's just, get people in the door.

Once they're hooked, I will up-sell them.

Doesn't that sound like you're encouraging these people to commit crimes?

They don't need encouragement.

Believe me.

One scoop or two?

One.

Kim, you don't know these assholes like I do.

Rain or shine, these morons will be out there doing stupid sh1t and getting arrested for it.

Little discount won't make a bit of difference.

Do you want sprinkles?

'Cause I'm having sprinkles.

Uh, sure.

I'm just worried about how this reflects on you.

You know what?

When you're right, you're right.

What am I doing cutting prices?

Discount is a desperation move.

See?

This is why this works.

I go too far.

And you pull me back.

Don't you think you're selling yourself short?

You worked so hard to get your license back.

We worked.

We worked.

So, why be Why Why this?

It's perfect.

They already know me.

I know them.

What's not to love?

Kim, I can't go back to being Jimmy McGill.

Jimmy McGill the lawyer is always gonna be Chuck McGill's loser brother.

I'm done with that.

That name is burned.

This is a fresh start.

This is how I move forward.

And I like it.

Sorry.

It's I just can't see it.

It's okay.

You will.

It'll be most discreet.

That I can guarantee.

Did I keep you waiting?

I was admiring Gustavo's establishment.

It's tremendous.

So many trucks.

Uh are all those buildings really full of chickens?

Please sit.

There's a serious matter to discuss.

Of course, Don Juan.

You may have noticed that some of the product is altered.

Gustavo will explain.

I have a confession to make.

A man was working for me.

On the legitimate side of my business.

He was supervising a construction project.

A German engineer.

I think you know his name.

Werner Ziegler.

Through an oversight, Ziegler became aware of our other activities.

The temptation was too great for him to resist, and he stole two keys of product.

I believe you know the rest of the story.

You know of Ziegler's escape.

You know that my man tracked him down.

My shame is not simply that I allowed this to happen.

It's that I hid the truth.

When I discovered what Ziegler had done, I replaced the stolen product with methamphetamine I purchased locally.

Some of this inferior product went to your organization.

And for that I must apologize.

Sincerely.

What construction project?

I mean, you said the German was building something.

What?

Ah.

It would be simpler for me to show you.

When finished, this will be the most advanced in-line chilling system in the Southwest.

- A chicken freezer?

- Chiller.

Our product is never frozen.

These are Ziegler's men, working from his plans.

As far as they're concerned, their leader has gone home.

Nothing was keeping you from sharing all this.

A lot of trouble could have been avoided.

Yes.

There were any number of misunderstandings.

My man didn't know who was following him.

And as a result, he went to great lengths to conceal his activities.

Your man Michael, is that right?

Yes.

That's not him, is it?

It is.

Well, I'd love to say hello, if that's permitted.

Well, certainly.

Michael.

Michael, please meet my associate Eduardo.

What a pleasure.

I've heard so much about you.

That right?

Oh, yes.

I'm gonna get back to it.

Thank you, Michael.

Well that explains everything.

I am glad you are satisfied.

Listen to me.

There must be no more trouble.

You two must co-exist.

This is non-negotiable.

Gustavo, there can be no more secrets.

Yes.

Don Eladio is not happy.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

I do.

Then we are done.

You know, it's gonna be a very nice chiller.

The south wall's gonna look beautiful.

Or if I'm looking maybe Hair pulled up Let's take it easy Let's do it right here!

Whoa.

Whoa.

Back off.

There are plenty of phones.

Before you know it, the other guy is bleeding out on the pavement and the cops are giving you the evil eye.

It is a long drive.

Flight leaves at 9:40, direct to Berlin.

I will never say anything.

Sebastian, Adrian.

The Civic.

Last of them got on a plane for Zurich an hour ago.

No problem.

Will do they as they've been told?

You're asking my opinion?

I am.

They know the consequences.

And the laundry?

Entrances to the site have been sealed.

Nobody's gonna stumble on it.

As long as Lalo Salamanca is on this side of the border, we cannot continue as we were.

So this is it.

No.

This is not it.

Once Salamanca is dealt with and he will be dealt with construction will resume.

Until then, you will continue to be paid.

Mm.

So, you're gonna pay me to do nothing.

Call it a retainer.

- Even after Ziegler?

- Yes.

What happened in Frankfurt?

The attorneys spent a full day with his wife.

She accepted the facts as presented.

As per your suggestion a construction accident.

The funeral was yesterday.

And, of course, she has been compensated.

"Compensated".

I would choose my next words very carefully if I were you.

Mm.

You keep your goddamn retainer.

Mr.

Oakley!

Mr.

Oakley!

Would you care to comment on the Carl Gravenhorst case?

- Oh, I'm I - As you know, the D. A. 's office has been accused of misconduct in the Gravenhorst case.

Would you comment on the latest development?

Uh, the Graven what?

People are saying you're prosecuting an innocent man.

Does the D. A. 's office have something to hide?

- Well, what, um - Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Please let me through.

Uh, that's my client you're talking about.

- And you are ?

- I'm Saul Goodman, and Carl Gravenhorst is 100% innocent.

The Albuquerque D. A. 's office is perpetrating an outrageous miscarriage of justice.

You're who?

I'm Saul Goodman.

And we are countersuing you and the entire Albuquerque D. A. 's office for malicious persecution, unlawful detention, and abuse of process.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

We'll take this all the way to the Supreme Court.

By the time we're through, Carl Gravenhorst's name will be cleared, a-and we'll receive a settlement, a cash settlement.

Alright.

Enough.

I've got to be in court.

You Go if you must, but know this we will meet again!

I'm sorry.

What'd you say your name was?

I'm Saul Goodman, and I make it my business to defend the citizens of Albuquerque against injustices of every kind.

Wow, you must be really expensive, though.

Not at all.

I believe every man, woman, and child deserves speedy justice at a price they can afford.

Do you have a card?

- Not for me, for a friend.

- Yes.

Uh, and please tell your friend that, uh, I make no judgments and I'm available 24 hours a day.

Uh, can I get one of those?

Oh, yeah.

What about me?

Oh, sure.

Okay.

Wow.

Yeah, uh I just I just don't know.

Five months.

With overcrowding, you'll probably do less than two.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Considering your priors, sentencing guidelines would have you looking at two to four years in custody.

So five months is really good, Bobby.

Are you worried about being there when Lois delivers?

Delivers?

Oh, right.

Yeah, y-yeah, so, um so, if I go to trial, you'll be my lawyer, right?

Bobby, you do not want to go to trial.

But you'll be my lawyer.

Yes, but going to trial would be a mistake.

Trials are always unpredictable.

At trial, the D. A. will throw everything at us.

- You'd just be rolling the dice.

- Yeah.

Roll the dice.

Yeah.

I-I mean, I don't mean to tell you your business, Miss Wexler, but you put me up there, I give the people the big eyes, they see Lois here and the kid, - y'know, they gonna believe me.

- I'd believe you.

Bobby, there are a million reasons not to go to trial.

But it's up to me, right?

Yes, it is, but I'm advising you not to.

Odds are you would end up going away for more time, not less.

And I am talking about years of your life.

But I might not, right?

You don't want to take that risk.

Maybe I do.

Lois Whatever Bobby says.

Excuse me a moment.

Please think this over carefully.

Both of you.

You ready for lunch?

There's a new sandwich vending machine down by family court.

I've heard good things.

Sorry, I'm stuck here.

Really?

What's up?

He's not taking the deal.

Who?

That guy?

Isn't he the punk who tried to sell a flatbed of hot mini-fridges to an undercover cop?

What'd you get him?

- Five months.

- Five months?

With his priors?!

Well, he should be on his knees thanking you.

I'm trying to talk him out of going to trial.

No!

Seriously?

Seriously.

You know what?

No.

No.

We can fix this.

I'm from the D. A. 's office, okay?

I'm giving you what for.

You're giving me what for.

We'll be loud.

We will go over there.

We will make a scene, okay?

Uh new evidence has come to light, and I'm pulling his deal with extreme prejudice.

I-I'm pissed.

I wanna put him away permanently.

third-degree felony But you fight me, I will push back hard.

We'll have that punk on his knees begging for the five months.

- I don't think so.

- Yeah, come on, Kim.

We can do this.

Lead-pipe cinch.

He's the client.

It's his decision.

What good is it gonna do to put that dweeb away in Los Lunas, huh?

You think he's a jackass now?

Wait till he gets back from that clown college.

- Jimmy, it No.

- Yeah, but what about his wife and kid?

That's them, right?

What about them?

If this isn't using our powers for good, I don't know what is.

- We're not doing that.

- But, Kim, we can do it.

- It'll work.

- I am not scamming my client.

But it worked for Mesa Verde Jimmy, back off.

Well, y Okay.

Um yeah, I'll see you at home.

So who was that?

Is everything alright?

He's from the district attorney's office.

They're taking the deal off the table.

Uh, so what?

I mean, we weren't gonna take it anyway, so Miss Wexler, why are they taking it off the table?

I don't know for sure.

It's possible they have new evidence.

Like Like Like Like what?

Like Like cameras or or or witnesses or I really couldn't say.

We'll find out soon enough.

Bobby, I'm sorry.

It looks like they want to make an example out of you.

Uh Alright, well, we better go tell the judge that we're taking this to trial.

Yeah, yeah, you you know what?

Um are you sure we still can't get the five months?

The D. A. took that off the table.

You mean if you even if you asked real nice?

I could try.

Are you sure that's what you want?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I-I thought about it, just like you said, and I could do the five months.

Miss Wexler please?

Wait here.

I can't promise anything, but I'll look into it.

Sure, sure.

Y-You do that.

We'll We'll be right here.


En Omaha , luego de su alta del hospital , un " Gene " aterrorizado conduce a su casa, empaca algo de equipaje, recupera una tarjeta de presentación y un alijo de diamantes de su caja de zapatos, y cambia las placas de su auto. Luego conduce a Kansas, escuchando la frecuencia de radio de la policía a través de un escáner CB durante todo el viaje. Gene desayuna en un restaurante , pero tiene problemas para interactuar con un servidor cuando una historia en el periódico lo toma por sorpresa. Afuera del restaurante, llama al Cinnabon para tomarse unos días libres del trabajo. Gene regresa a casa y pasa ese tiempo escuchando el escáner y mirando afuera.

Cuando Gene regresa a trabajar en Cinnabon, es abordado por dos hombres en su hora de almuerzo, uno de ellos es el taxista de Gene de la noche de su colapso , quien se presenta como Jeff . Jeff revela que ha reconocido a Gene porque vivía en Albuquerque cuando Saul Goodman era una celebridad local. Gene inicialmente finge ignorancia, pero cede cuando Jeff lo presiona para que diga su eslogan "Better Call Saul" después de notar nerviosamente a algunos policías cercanos. Jeff le dice a Gene que si alguna vez necesita que lo lleven, debe llamar a la compañía de taxis y preguntar por él antes de irse con su amigo.

Gene va a un teléfono público y contacta a Ed Galbraith , el "desaparecido" que originalmente lo trajo a Omaha para comenzar una nueva vida. Ed rápidamente reconoce a Gene, quien le pide a Ed que lo extraiga nuevamente. Ed advierte que será muy difícil y requerirá el doble de la tarifa original. Gene inicialmente está de acuerdo y Ed programa la recogida a las 7:00 a. m. del jueves en el mismo lugar donde dejó a Gene por primera vez. Después de un momento de consideración, Gene repentinamente cambia de opinión y le dice a Ed que "lo arreglará yo mismo" antes de colgar y marcharse.
Acto I
En 2004, poco después de la restitución de su licencia de abogado, Jimmy firma el DBA que le permite ejercer con su nuevo nombre. Fuera de la sala de licencias, Jimmy le explica a una ansiosa Kim que, en lugar de ejercer la abogacía noblemente como engañó al comité de abogados para que creyeran, planea tomar a los delincuentes que lo conocen de su negocio ilícito de teléfonos y usarlos como su nueva base de clientes. . Kim, molesta por este giro de los acontecimientos, accede a regañadientes a aceptar el nuevo plan de Jimmy. Jimmy regresa a la oficina de licencias para firmar el papeleo final como "Jimmy 'Saul Goodman' McGill".

Mientras tanto, en El Michoacano , Lalo lucha por descubrir quiénes son Werner Ziegler y " Michael " y qué tienen que ver con el misterioso proyecto de construcción de Gus . Se entera por Nacho y Krazy-8 de un rumor de que una banda de narcotraficantes competidora ha estado "pisando" el negocio de la familia Salamanca. Lalo decide investigar con Nacho a cuestas, conduciendo hasta un escondite de Salamanca donde se guardan los paquetes de cocaína de la granja de pollos de Gus para su distribución. Lalo inspecciona cada paquete y determina que algunos de ellos no son producto del cartel.

Para celebrar su reincorporación, Kim le da a Jimmy un nuevo maletín, erróneamente inscrito con sus iniciales reales, y un termo que dice "El segundo mejor abogado del mundo". Jimmy contempla realizar un evento promocional vendiendo sus teléfonos móviles restantes y considera ofrecer un descuento del 50 % para los delincuentes no violentos. A Kim le preocupa que lo que Jimmy está planeando aliente a sus clientes a continuar con su comportamiento criminal y se refleje negativamente en el propio Jimmy. Él le dice que no puede volver a ser considerado como " el hermano perdedor de Chuck McGill " e insiste en que su nueva identidad como Saul le dará un nuevo comienzo.

Acto II
Lalo conduce hasta el granja de pollos para sentarse con Gus y Juan Bolsa sobre la cocaína alterada. Gus admite falsamente que reemplazó en secreto parte de la cocaína del cartel con metanfetamina después de que Werner tropezó con el negocio de drogas de Gus y robó el producto. Cuando Lalo exige saber en qué "proyecto de construcción" estaba trabajando Werner, Gus le muestra a él y a Bolsa una estructura enorme que los hombres de Werner están construyendo para un enfriador industrial. Lalo conoce a Mike, quien supervisa al equipo. Con Lalo aparentemente apaciguado, Bolsa le dice a Gus que Eladio no está satisfecho con la violación y le advierte que no vuelva a guardar secretos del cartel.

Acto III
Fuera de la granja de pollos, Bolsa confronta a Lalo por espiar la operación de Gus y asesinar al empleado de TravelWire . Lalo responde que simplemente está velando por los intereses de su tío Héctor , quien cree que Gus le guarda rencor al cartel después de que Héctor ejecutara a su " novio ". La Bolsa insiste en que Gus solo se preocupa por los negocios, a lo que Lalo expresa escepticismo debido a un incidente pasado no especificado en Santiago. Bolsa dice que Gus nunca será "uno de los nuestros", pero que es un buen trabajador que mantiene feliz a Eladio, que es todo lo que importa. Lalo le dice a Bolsa que no tiene más problemas con Gus.

Después del anochecer, Jimmy vende sus teléfonos fijos restantes desde el interior de una carpa de circo, con Huell actuando como su portero. Los delincuentes, los inadaptados y los personajes de mala reputación de la ciudad salen en tropel a comprar los teléfonos, creando una atmósfera de carnaval. Jimmy, vestido con un traje de colores brillantes, aprovecha la oportunidad para ofrecer sus servicios legales restablecidos a estos clientes y, finalmente, vende su suministro de teléfonos fijos. Cuando la multitud comienza a irse, Jimmy recupera su atención ofreciéndoles su 50% de descuento. Huell felicita a Jimmy por un trabajo bien hecho, pero Jimmy le dice que apenas están comenzando.

Acto IV
Los aterrorizados hombres de Werner son transportados en camión al medio del desierto, donde deben llevar varios vehículos a varios aeropuertos distantes y tomar vuelos a casa. Antes de entregar los boletos de avión, Mike advierte a los hombres que habrá consecuencias si alguno de ellos divulga los detalles de su trabajo para Gus.Kai le dice a Mike que Werner era "blando" y que tenía que matarlo, lo que lleva a Mike a golpearlo en la cara y tirarlo al suelo. Casper le dice a Mike que Werner "valía cincuenta de ti", lo que impacta emocionalmente a Mike.












De vuelta en la granja de pollos, Gus le explica a Mike que la construcción de la excavación no continuará mientras Lalo esté al norte de la frontera. Dice además que a la esposa de Werner le han dicho que él murió en un accidente de construcción y que ha sido compensado, y que a Mike se le seguirá pagando un anticipo. Mike, disgustado por toda la situación, le dice a Gus que se quede con su anticipo y se va.

Acto V

ADA Oakley está caminando por el juzgado cuando es emboscado por el equipo de filmación de Joey , que se hacen pasar por reporteros de televisión que lo confrontan por un caso del que no ha oído nada. Jimmy entra en escena como el abogado del acusado ficticio, se enfrenta a un Oakley confundido y pronuncia un discurso ante la cámara. El truco atrae más negocios potenciales de personas en el juzgado.

Mientras tanto, Kim, trabajando en su capacidad de defensora pública, intenta convencer a un cliente obstinado llamado Bobby para que acepte un acuerdo de culpabilidad de cinco meses y evite el juicio por cercar mini-refrigeradores robados. Jimmy aparece y, al enterarse de la situación, propone un plan para que Bobby acepte el trato haciéndose pasar por un fiscal antagónico. Kim está nerviosa ante la idea de estafar a su cliente y le ordena a Jimmy que se vaya. Sin embargo, cuando Bobby y su esposa embarazada preguntan de qué se trataba la discusión, Kim acepta la treta y les dice que Jimmy era un fiscal que eliminó el acuerdo con la fiscalía. Bobby de repente se desespera por aceptar el trato, lo que lleva a Kim a huir a una escalera para recomponerse por lo que ha hecho.
Trivialidades

El episodio concluyó con una dedicación conmemorativa del episodio a Robert Forster , quien póstumamente repite su papel de Ed Galbraith "el Desaparecedor". La dedicatoria dice "Dedicado a nuestro amigo Robert Forster".

En una entrevista, [1] Peter Gould reveló que el guión original de este episodio requería una simple aparición de audio de Robert Forster.

Otra regla introducida en "Magic Man" parece ser que los clientes habituales deben pagar el doble de la tarifa original por los servicios de Ed. Como se indicó anteriormente que la tarifa era de $125,000, esto significa que Gene habría tenido que pagar $250,000 para obtener la ayuda de Ed. Gene afirma que tiene tanto dinero.
Jesse también se vio obligado a pagar $ 250,000 por los servicios de Ed, aunque en su caso fue Ed quien obligó a Jesse a pagar tanto la recogida en la que Jesse realmente usó los servicios de Ed como la recogida previamente abortada en la que no lo hizo. (" El Camino ")
Cuando Saul llama a Ed, dice que necesita un adaptador en lugar de un filtro de polvo para la aspiradora, que se ha indicado anteriormente y se ha demostrado que es la frase de contraseña. A pesar de esto, Ed todavía parece estar satisfecho con la contraseña, lo que sugiere que "adaptador" es una palabra clave acordada para un cliente anterior que necesita una nueva identidad.
