5.7.-«JMM»

5 temporada 


He's got a gun... to my father's head.

We take care of Lalo. Then we'll talk.
Gray Monte Carlo occupied by one male.
( Tires screech )
We had a verbal agreement.
Kevin still gets his call center. Everybody wins.
I can't do this anymore.
You lie! I lie!
Either we end this now...
Or what?
Or maybe...
Maybe we get married.
( Birds chirping )
( Vehicle passing )
Jimmy: And anything that already happened... we're not going back over all that.
Let's just focus on from here on out.
Right. Past is past.
And moving forward...
Uh, if I have the urge to not tell you something, then I've gotta tell you.
Right. Full disclosure.
And it works both ways?
Works both ways.
( Air brakes hiss )
( Cellphone vibrating, ringing )
And... mute.
( Keypad beeps )
Okay, what if I have the urge to not tell you something, but I tell you, and you don't like what you hear?
I just want to know what's going on.
Yeah, but...
Jimmy, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
There he is.
( Sighs )
So, we're really doing this, huh?
Yeah, looks that way.
Am I late?
Nope.
Cool.
Mornin'.
Thanks for coming.
Good to see you.
Shall we?
Yeah.
( Children giggling )
( Indistinct conversations )
Psst!
( Telephone ringing in distance )
What's up?
Want me to hold the rings for you?
Oh, there's no rings.
Well, I can fix that easy.
I seen a clerk downstairs.
He had a nice rock, probably about a half a carat.
Huell, no. ( Chuckles )
This is a different kind of thing.
Oh. It's like that.
Then we should do it up right, then, for the rugrat.
No, there's no rugrat.
( Chuckles )
Well, you're at least gonna take her somewhere after this?
Little honeymoon?
I gotta friend who runs a B&B in Roswell.
Get you a good deal.
How about we take a raincheck on that?
We just need to get this done.
You feel me?
This is a legal arrangement.
This way, if I get into trouble, they can't make her testify against me.
You getting hitched for that?
Yeah.
Yeah. That's all this is.
You got it?
She gonna be a McGill or Goodman?
Wexler.
I-I got to go finish this.
Here you go.
Kim: Thanks.
Sir, do you have documentation of your two previous dissolutions?
Yeah.
( Indistinct conversations )
( Telephones ringing )
Great. One sec.
( Cellphone vibrating )
( Keypad beeps )
( Conversations continue )
This okay with you?
Of course.
Yeah.
I just mean, um... this might not be what you dreamed of when you were 12.
Jimmy, it's not about that. ( Chuckles )
This is just, you know... everything we talked about.
Right.
Right. I know.
Just making sure.
All set.
I just need $25.
I got it.
( Conversations continue )
( Sighs )
( Sighs )
( Sighs )
( Door opens )
( Door creaks, closes )
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Been that kind of day.
( Clears throat )
So... Wexler-McGill?
Yes.
And you picked the short vows, that right?
Yes.
And you have your witnesses?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, then.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh.
Officiant: "Do you, James Morgan McGill, take Kimberly Wexler to... "
Hmm. No middle name.
"To be your lawfully wedded wife?
To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
I do.
"And do you, Kimberly Wexler, take James Morgan McGill to be your lawfully wedded husband?
To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
I do.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have the rings?
We, um...
We didn't do that.
No rings.
Okey-dokey.
( Chuckles )
"Then by the power vested in me by the state of New Mexico, I now pronounce you husband and wife".
( Chuckles )
"You may kiss".
( Camera shutter clicks )
( Camera winding )
Psst! Psst!
One more, one more.
( Laughs )

Jimmy: So, lunch is definitely out?
Sorry. I-I just can't get away.
But I'll be home early tonight.
Me too.
( Exhales sharply )
( Cellphone vibrating )
( Inhales sharply )
( Keypad beeps )
Saul Goodman, speedy justice for you!
Nacho: I been calling you.
Yeah. I had a busy morning.
Go to lock-up. Client's waiting for you.
My "client"? Wha... ( Sighs )
Who got picked up this time?
Jorge De Guzman.
Who the hell is Jorge De Guzman?
Who do you think?
( Door opens )
( Sighs )
( Chains rattling )
( Floor creaks )
( Sighs )
( Spectators coughing )
Courtroom clerk: State vs. Jorge De Guzman.
Case CR-2004003022.
Judge Parson: Mr. De Guzman.
Murder in the first degree, robbery while armed with a deadly weapon, tampering with evidence, arson...
Your Honor, uh, my client waives the reading of the remaining charges.
How does he plead?
"Not guilty" on all charges.
I'd like to schedule a pre-trial hearing in six weeks.
And I'm going to deny bond.
Uh, Your Honor...
That's my decision.
( Gavel bangs )
Schweikart: Thank you for making time for us on such short notice.
( Indistinct conversations )
We wanted to tell you face-to-face how much everyone in the firm regrets what happened yesterday.
The situation in Tucamcari spiraled out of control, and we take full responsibility.
Kevin, you chose me as your attorney.
And that was the best day of my professional life.
Yesterday was the worst day of my professional life.
I can't tell you how much I regret that I let you down.
But I want you to know that, if you choose to move forward with me and with us, nothing like that will ever happen again.
No one's denying that things went off course, but let's keep in mind that over the last 18 months, we've opened 24 new branches.
And, until Tucamcari, the legal work has been... flawless.
Well.
Kim, you dropped the ball. That's for sure.
And, uh ( Scoffs ) with all your smarts, whole office full of associates and fancy degrees... you get rolled over by...
Well, you know what happened.
I expected more.
Paige: Thanks for coming in.
Thank you, Kevin.
Paige. Thank you.
Kim, ( Clears throat ) one more thing.
This fella... McGill or Goodman, whatever.
You could do a whole lot better.
( Indistinct conversations in distance )
I'll say 50/50, but we gave it a shot.
( PA dings )
Rich, we can't leave it like this.
Oh, he'll stew for a bit, and then we'll see.
And if he does stick with us, then what?
We walk on eggshells forever?
( Groans lightly ) What's our alternative?
( Stammers )
We countered with seven, right?
Yes, but after the survey...
( Knock on door )
Uh, sorry to interrupt.
Do you mind if we take just another minute of your time?
I guess.
( Door closes )
Kevin, no matter what our relationship looks like moving forward, we owe you the truth.
And the truth is, you ignored our advice.
Oh, so this is my fault.
We said Mesa Verde should reconsider the site for the call center.
You declined.
We advised you to keep the purchased lot as an investment.
You declined.
And we advised you to leave that meeting when it became apparent that the other side was negotiating in bad faith.
You declined.
At every point, we gave you the best guidance we could, and at every point, you chose to go your own way.
We are your attorneys, and it is our job to advise you.
The decisions will always be yours, but... if you continue to ignore us... then this is the wrong relationship.
And, Kevin, I have to tell you, whoever represents you in the future...
I hope you're gonna listen to them a little bit better.
That it?
Alright, then.
See you on Thursday.
Okay.
Well, uh... I guess we'll get out of your hair.
Thursday.
( Door closes )
( Sighs )
JMM.
What's that?
Oh, that's my motto.
Yeah?
"Justice Matters Most".
( Laughs )
Okay, brass tacks.
Um, how solid is this "De Guzman" thing?
Because if they find out you're not who they think you are, that could be a little...
It's not gonna be a problem.
Great!
Um, first up, we got to get the murder rap down to manslaughter.
Now, I think that the DA is primed to cut a deal.
So I say make 'em come to us, power move...
No.
No?
Nope. No deal.
( Sighs )
Here's the thing about going to trial...
No, no, no, no, no.
No trial. No deal.
Okay, yeah. Sure. Just...
What did you have in mind?
You're gonna get me out on bail.
Bail?
( Chuckling ) That's...
Well, the thing there...
I mean, I don't know how things work south of the border, but here, under these circumstances, uh, well, that's a long shot.
Lalo: Quieres ser amigo de el cartel?
I'm sorry. I-I don't, uh...
You wanna be a friend of the cartel?
Hmm?
Time to get yourself a new motto.
Just. Make. Money.
( Chuckles nervously )
Mike: "'But what does that mean, "ephemeral"?' repeated the little prince, who never in his life let go of a question once he had asked it.
'It means, "Which is in danger of speedy disappearance".'
'Is my flower in danger of speedy disappearance?'
'It certainly is.'"
Hmm.
Okay, kid, we'll finish the rest later.
Now, good night.
Not yet, Pop-pop.
Just two more pages.
Two more pages, and that's it, alright?
Now lie down.
"'My flower is ephemeral', the little prince said to himself, 'and she only has four thorns to defend herself against the world".
( Water running )
( Faucet turns off )
( Water drains )
( Pan clangs, clatters )
She's out.
Think "The Little Prince" did the trick.
( Chuckles )
I think you wore her out with all that hide-and-seek.
I don't know.
I think maybe she wore me out. ( Sighs )
( Faucet turns on and off )
This girl at work... she can't get her son to sleep.
The kid's 2 years old, and he's still tearing around the house at midnight.
Hmm.
Matty was like that.
Really?
Yeah, really.
( Chuckles )
Never wanted to conk out.
( Chuckles )
Too busy.
( Laughs )
( Faucet turns on and off )
He was such a cutie.
I love those pictures of him sitting on Santa's lap.
Ahh, that face.
Mm.
Cried his eyes out. Every year.
And every year, he'd want to try it again.
( Pan clangs )
( Sighs )
I'm better now.
What changed?
Decided to play the cards I was dealt.
( Door opens )
Just said he'll see us at the regular Thursday meeting.
You spoke truth to power.
We'll see if he sticks to it.
( Sighs heavily ) How'd your day go?
( Dog barking )
( Exhales sharply )
I got married. ( Chuckles )
( Briefcases thud )
Here.
( Chuckling )
( Groans )
( Both breathing heavily )
( Both smooching )
Mmm.
( Both breathing heavily )
( Chuckling ) What?
I'm having the urge not to tell you something.
( Sighs ) It's nothing.
I'll... I'll tell you later, okay?
Mm. ( Laughs )
Jimmy, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
What?
( Breathing heavily )
I have a... a new client.
He's, um, connected.
I mean, he's a cartel guy.
From Mexico.
Pretty high up.
Anyway, he's in for murder, and he wants bail, which...
That's impossible.
I mean... no way in hell this dude is ever seeing sunshine.
But if I could, you know, somehow find a way... um... he said, uh, I'd be a friend of the cartel.
"Friend of the cartel"?
You know what that means.
Means money.
Ranch in Montana kind of money, like, uh, private jet kind of money ( Inhales sharply ) press conferences, TV news, the works.
But... do you want to be a friend of the cartel?
No. No.
Absolutely not. I...
Anyway, it's a moot point 'cause the guy's the definition of a flight risk, so...
Look, I'm gonna put up a fight, right, just for show.
( Breathes deeply )
There's no judge on earth that's gonna grant him bail.
I just... I didn't want to tell you, so I thought I should tell you.
( Crickets chirping )
( Sighs )
( Exhales sharply )
You know what?
What?
( Laughs )
I'm glad you did.
Oh.
( Both smooching )


( Indistinct shouting )
( Rattling )
( Footsteps approaching )
( Keys jangling )
( Knock on door )
Man: ( In distance ) Alright, back in your cell!
Hey.
No, no. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.
So, what's happening with sixth street?
Mm-hmm.
And the take?
Okay.
So, what're you gonna do about it?
You gonna send in Ocho Loco?
Oh. Even better. Nice.
Listen.
I got something for you to do.
( Brakes squeal )
( Engine shuts off )
I'm not telling you sh1t until we talk about my dad.
( Car door closes )
What you tell me and when you say it is not up to you.
Listen, you said when Lalo's out of the picture, we'll talk about my father, right?
Well, he's out of the picture.
( Sighs )
Say your piece.
I'm done.
I want out.
And you want me to square it with Fring.
Fring's not all of it. It's the cartel.
I disappear, they're gonna go after my father.
He's gotta come with me.
But no matter what I say, with him it's the cops or nothing.
The cops won't solve this.
You got a way?
( Breathes deeply )
Hmm.
What are you holding out?
Lalo called me from inside.
He put me back in charge.
And... ?
And... he wants me to burn down a Pollos Hermanos.
Then he's not out of the picture, is he?
( Car door opens )
( Sighs )
( Engine starts )
Whiskerstay's CEO: The "avocado mania" promotion, which we've been testing in select franchises, has been a smashing success, contributing to an 18% increase in foot traffic at participating locations and a 12% bump in customer satisfaction.
We know a good thing when we see it, so we are planning to fully roll out "avocado mania" in Q2.
Additionally, our innovative "family-fun" remodel improved the in-store Whiskerstay's experience, resulting in increased repeat business system-wide.
In fact, we are happy to share the news that the latest ACSI survey now places Whiskerstay's in the top 10% of limited-service chains nationwide.
Peter: ( Laughs )
( Applause )
Very nice, Cleo, very nice.
Thank you.
And now let's hear from Gustavo Fring of Los Pollos Hermanos.
Thank you, Herr Schuler.
Bitte.
I am delighted to report that the last quarter Los Pollos Hermanos revenues have increased 8.3%.
Comparable restaurant sales increased by 4.2%, representing the eighth consecutive quarter of comparable sales increases.
( Executives murmuring) (door opens )
In addition to our continued focus on our core menu, we are very proud to introduce a new offering that will extend our product line while celebrating our traditional New Mexican culture.
I invite you to taste our delicious "Spice Curls".
( Laughter )
"The curly fry with the Southwestern kick".
( Laughter, applause )
( Indistinct conversations )
Bellhop: Here we are.
( Door closes )
The bathroom has heated floors.
You'll find the dial just under the light switch.
There's a steam shower... and bidet.
This controls the drapes.
Many of our guests have enjoyed the rodeo.
It's in town tomorrow at Reliant Stadium.
I highly recommend it.
Oh, thank you.
I'm only staying the night.
Next time, then.
Is there anything else, sir?
No. No, no, that will be all.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Fring.
My pleasure.

Gus: Hello, my friend.
Oh.

It's good to see you, my friend.
Oh, you look well.
Well, I don't feel well.
Maybe things will improve now that you're here.
Lydia tells me Salamanca is in jail.
This means you can continue construction?
( Horn honks in distance )
E-Eduardo Salamanca has been arrested for murder.
Uh-huh.
However, even from jail he creates... issues.
What kind of issues?
He ordered his men to burn down one of my restaurants.
You're kidding.
He's in jail. He can still do that?
I'm afraid so.
I know it's not exactly my area of expertise, but don't people get killed in prison all the time?
I mean, "shanked" and "shivved" and whatnot?
Anything happens to Salamanca on this side of the border, the cartel will assume that it was my doing.
It would mean war.
War for which we are unprepared.
My God.
This nightmare never ends.
He's concerned about the money.
"Concerned"?!
4,800,000 Euros.
Mm.
It's a miracle I haven't been caught.
Last year the auditors came this close.
One of them, a woman... I think she knew.
Peter...
At first it was a year.
Then it was two. Then three.
And now you're telling me...
How long?
I can't. I can't.
They will catch me, and then it is over.
Peter..
I can't.
Peter...
Gustavo, please.
I can't.
Listen to me.
I...
Listen to me.
Do you remember Santiago?
The two of us.
Our backs to the wall.
I will never forget what you did.
Oh, well...
You are still the same man.
You will do what is necessary.
Stay strong, my friend.
We've come so far.
We are so very close.
( Inhales sharply )
Okay.
( Exhales sharply )
Good.
Now... you eat.

Lydia: Tomorrow you and I are going to the rodeo.
Peter: The rodeo?
Yeah. To see the cowboys.

Jimmy: Uh, "Your guests will relax in the elegant great room, complete with soaring stone fireplace".
Soaring stone?
Yeah. That's the best kind of stone.
( Chuckles )
How about a lavender farm?
Seriously?
Yeah, well, it's, uh... it's lavender-adjacent.
Tell me more.
"Imagine a magical land called 'home'.
Watch the sun set across your own private meadow, as wild flowers sway in the breeze.
This stunning desert retreat promotes a casual yet luxurious lifestyle".
I'm casual yet luxurious.
Yeah. Totally.
It's got a five-car garage.
What? How's that gonna work?
We only get 2 and a half cars each?
Yeah.
Garbage.

So, that was wildflowers dancing in the sun?

Sorry! I can't hear you!
Maybe try again later?
( Pounding on door )
Coming!

You got me in my underwear, so enjoy the show.

You're representing Eduardo Salamanca, AKA Jorge De Guzman.
He is a client of mine, yeah. So?
Well, I need you to get him out on bail.
Wait. What do you have to do with Lalo Salamanca?
I represent someone who has an interest.
Someone like who?
Someone your client can never know about.
Yeah, look, I don't take marching orders from the man behind the curtain.
Mm?
In this case, it's better that you do.
You know what Salamanca did, right?
I am aware.
What's this?
This is everything you need to do your job.

"Significant ties to his local community"?
What ties?
Did you actually think I wasn't gonna hear about this "private eye" of yours?
Excuse me?
Dave Clark.
Dave Clark.
The mysterious "third party" who's coaching your key witness.
( Chuckles )
Alright, good.
You know what?
Do the dumb act for Parson. Please.
I can't wait to see him rip you both a new one.
( Door slams )

Hey.
Uh, play to the judge, okay?
But don't... don't, like, play to the judge.
Don't over do it. ( Sighs )
Try not to be too cool.
I mean, look humble.
( Sighs )
A little bit scared.
No problem.
( Chains rattling )
Is that them?
Yep.
Who's that?
That's gotta be his family.
Fred Whalen.
The guy who died?
At the Travel Wire?
Mm.
( Sighs )
Judge Parson: ( Slowed-down voice ) And I'm told you have new information...
An allegation of witness tampering?
( Keys clacking )
Mr. Goodman?
( Normal voice ) Mr. Goodman?
That's right, Your Honor.
Witness tampering.
I have reason to believe that the prosecution's key witness was coached by a private investigator who was hired to pervert justice.
Does the prosecution have a response?
Unfortunately, Your Honor, it seems a person unknown to my team may have interacted with our witness, causing her to call Detective Roberts and amend her statement two months after the initial interview.
This only recently came to our attention, and we are vigorously investigating.
I would hope so.
Having said that, Your Honor, this witness is one small element of the state's case.
In light of the extraordinary violence of the crime and the fact that Mr. De Guzman is a foreign national with no ties to the community, we ask that the court recognize him as a flight risk and as a danger to the citizens of New Mexico.
Mr. Goodman?
Uh, all due respect, Your Honor, but the witness is not just one "small element" of the state's case.
She's the only witness tying Mr. De Guzman to the murder scene, and she's been manipulated.
Furthermore, the claim that Mr. De Guzman has no ties to the community... that's just patently false.
Mr. De Guzman has deep ties to the city of Albuquerque.
I'd like you to meet... his family.
Uh, that's his fiancée and the love of his life, Beth McKinnon, his stepchildren, Christopher and Ella, and sitting with them is Beth's mother, Mary.
Now, Your Honor, my client is the only father that these kids have ever known.
They depend on him.
How can you possibly see fit to separate this beautiful... family?
Um... I'm sorry.
( Sighs )
The testimony, um, implicating Mr. De Guzman in this crime... it's been fabricated.
You've already held him for three days.
Given the circumstances, Mr. De Guzman should be granted bond.
Your Honor, a sidebar?
Didn't the state do any investigating at all?
We did, Your Honor.
Your honor, given what's transpired here...
( Indistinct conversations )
Alright, that's enough.
Your Honor, I really...
( Speaking indistinctly )
( Sighs )
I accept the defense's argument that bond is warranted.
But considering the severity of the charges, I will set the amount at $7 million.
Cash only.
Oh, Your Honor...
( Gavel bangs )
Bailiff: All rise.
( Door opens )
( Sighs heavily )
$7 million?
Yes, and I am so, so sorry.
I can do that.
Thing is, I'm gonna need you to pick it up.
What? Me?
Mm-hmm.
I'll call you.
Well...

Hamlin: Hey, Jimmy.
Howard.
So... have you thought any more about the job?
( Chuckling ) The job.
Yeah.
No, um...
I'm still giving it some thought.
Man: Yeah, no problem.
"Giving it some thought"?
Yeah.
You know what?
Don't bother.
It seems I've upset you.
So offer's off the table.
( Stammers ) You upset me?
How... How'd you upset me?
You tell me.
( Sighs )
( Chuckles )
This is getting a little weird, Howard.
You want to know what's "weird"?
It's "weird" to offer a job to a man and in return have bowling balls thrown at your car and prostitutes sent to your business lunch.
That's "weird".
( Scoffs )
Are you listening to yourself?
( Clears throat )
I don't know what you're into these days, Howard, but ( Chuckles ) prostitutes and, uh, bowling balls?
Uh... you sound unhinged.
( Sucks teeth )
Jimmy, I'm sorry you're in pain.
( Chuckles )
You're sorry?
You're sorry?
You kill my brother, and you say you're sorry.
Let me tell you something.
The job offer... it didn't upset me.
It amused me.
Whew. Big job at the illustrious HHM.
Chance to play at the palace? Lil' ole me?
I was trying...
You have no idea what's going on.
You're a teensy tiny man in a teensy-weensy little bubble!
Oh, Jimmy.
Ohh, don't you f*ckin' "Oh, Jimmy" me.
You look down on me?! You pity me?!
Walk away. That's right, Howard.
You know why I didn't take the job?
'Cause it's too small!
I don't care about it!
It's nothing to me!
It's a bacterium!
I travel in worlds you can't even imagine!
You can't conceive of what I'm capable of!
I'm so far beyond you!
I'm like a God in human clothing!
Lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!

Jimmy y Kim hablan sobre sus nupcias inminentes fuera del juzgado mientras esperan obtener su certificado de matrimonio. Kim le hace prometer a Jimmy que nunca más le ocultará nada. Después de que Huell llega como testigo, Jimmy le explica que este matrimonio es puramente una formalidad. La pareja intercambia sus votos frente a un juez, y Kim parece muy feliz mientras dice sus votos.

Después de la boda, Kim se va a su oficina en Schweikart & Cokely , prometiendo regresar a casa temprano. Jimmy recibe una llamada de Nacho , quien le dice que tiene un nuevo cliente llamado Jorge de Guzmán. "De Guzmán" es en realidad un alias utilizado por Lalo , quien ha sido acusado del asesinato de Fred Whalen y se encuentra recluido en el Centro de Detención Metropolitano.. Jimmy se declara inocente en nombre de Lalo; sin embargo, el juez niega la fianza. Más tarde, mientras él y Jimmy discuten el caso en privado, Lalo dice que no quiere ni un trato con la fiscalía ni un juicio, con la intención de ser liberado bajo fianza. Jimmy responde que eso será muy difícil de hacer, ya que los cargos en su contra son graves. Lalo le asegura que será considerado un "amigo del Cártel " si tiene éxito en la tarea.
En la casa de Stacey , Mike está leyendo la copia de El Principito que obtuvo de la biblioteca a Kaylee como un cuento antes de dormir. Ella finalmente se queda dormida. Mike se une a Stacey en la cocina y la ayuda a lavar los platos. Se sorprende cuando Mike saca el tema de Matty de manera casual , un tema del que se había negado a hablar en el pasado. Mike le dice que su estado emocional es mucho mejor ahora y decide aceptar las "cartas que le repartieron".
Acto II


Kim, Rich , Paige y Kevin se reúnen en las oficinas de Mesa Verde para hablar sobre su desastroso encuentro con Jimmy. Kim se disculpa profusamente por el incidente, pero Kevin está decepcionado por lo mal que S&C manejó la situación. Antes de que Kim y Rich se vayan, Kevin le dice a Kim que puede "hacerlo mejor que" Jimmy. Ella comienza a irse con Rich, pero luego regresa impulsivamente a la sala de reuniones. Kim le dice a Kevin que, a pesar de todos los deslices de S&C, Kevin también tiene cierta responsabilidad por el fiasco al ignorar su consejo legal: Kevin decidió escuchar a Jimmy, incluso cuando Kim le dijo explícitamente que no lo hiciera. Aparentemente, Kevin está impresionado al escuchar el contraargumento de Kim y programa su próxima reunión para el jueves.
Kim y Jimmy regresan a su departamento mientras Kim habla sobre su reunión. Cuando ella le pregunta sobre su día, Jimmy dice: "Me casé"; él la lleva al dormitorio. Empiezan a hacer el amor, pero Jimmy se detiene de repente, lo que hace que Kim pregunte qué le pasa. Jimmy le cuenta sobre su nuevo cliente, mencionando la oferta de ser un "amigo del Cartel". Kim dice que está contenta de que Jimmy haya compartido esta noticia con ella.
Lalo hace arreglos para que le pasen de contrabando un teléfono celular dentro del MDC. Encerrado en su litera, llama a Nacho por teléfono y le ordena que incendie un restaurante de Los Pollos Hermanos . Nacho se encuentra con Mike al día siguiente, después de haber decidido que, dado que Lalo está encarcelado, Mike debería ayudarlos a él y a su padre a encontrar una salida del negocio de las drogas. Cuando se entera de la orden de Lalo de quemar un restaurante, Mike señala que esto significa que Lalo aún no está fuera de escena; Nacho no puede salirse de su empleo o el de Gus .
Acto III


En Houston , Gus asiste a una reunión de la junta directiva de los directores ejecutivos de las cadenas de restaurantes de Madrigal Electromotive , presidida por Peter Schuler . Más tarde esa noche, después de registrarse en un hotel local, Gus visita una habitación contigua donde lo esperan Peter y Lydia . Peter se queja de los retrasos en la construcción de la excavación.y advierte que será difícil asignar más fondos, considerando lo cerca que ha estado de ser atrapado. Gus le asegura que las cosas se arreglarán y le recuerda una situación peligrosa en Santiago de la que los dos hombres escaparon, lo que resultó en que Gus se endeudara con Peter. Lydia sugiere que hagan arreglos para que Lalo sea asesinado en la cárcel, una idea que Gus descarta porque tales circunstancias lo harían sospechar del asesinato. Sin embargo, Gus se da cuenta de que tiene que hacer algo para evitar que Nacho, su información privilegiada en el equipo de Lalo, quede expuesto.
En su apartamento, Jimmy revisa los listados de bienes raíces mientras Kim se prepara para el trabajo. Después de que ella se va, recibe una llamada telefónica de Mike para ofrecerle un trabajo. Jimmy trata de inventar una excusa para terminar la llamada cuando va a responder a un golpe en la puerta, solo para encontrar a Mike parado allí. Hablando como emisario de Gus, Mike le pide a Jimmy que saque a Lalo de la cárcel. Se niega a decir en nombre de quién está entregando esta solicitud, ya que Gus no quiere que Lalo sepa lo que está haciendo, y le entrega a Jimmy un expediente con la información pertinente de su visita a Lillian Simmons .
Acto IV


Al amparo de la oscuridad, Gus y Nacho irrumpen en un restaurante Los Pollos Hermanos en Los Lunas . Mientras Nacho destroza el área de descanso, Gus enciende los quemadores de la cocina, llena la habitación con gas y calienta una freidora llena de aceite. Luego toma un pollo congelado del congelador y lo coloca en la parte trasera de la tapa de la cocina como una rampa improvisada, para que se deslice lentamente hacia la freidora. Luego sale del restaurante y regresa a su automóvil. El pollo congelado cae en la freidora y enciende el aceite caliente, provocando una gran explosión que destruye el restaurante.
Lalo comparece ante el tribunal para su audiencia de fianza. Jimmy le dice al juez que el testigo estrella del caso fue entrenado por un detective privado; el fiscal admite este hecho. Jimmy también ha contratado actores para actuar como la familia falsa de Lalo para demostrar que tiene vínculos comunitarios con Albuquerque . Con base en estos factores, el juez fija la fianza de Lalo en $7 millones en efectivo. Lalo dice que puede encargarse del dinero, pero Jimmy tendrá que cruzar personalmente la frontera para recogerlo.
Jimmy y Howard se encuentran inesperadamente fuera de la sala del tribunal. Cuando Howard pregunta sobre su oferta de trabajo anterior , Jimmy dice que aún no se ha decidido. Aparentemente, Howard está al tanto de las bromas de Jimmy y lo acusa de arrojar bolas de boliche a su automóvil y enviar prostitutas al restaurante . Jimmy inicialmente niega las acusaciones, pero después de que Howard dice: "Jimmy, lamento que estés sufriendo", las acepta y comienza a gritarle a Howard mientras sale del juzgado.













Trivialidades
Este episodio es el debut como directora de Melissa Bernstein , quien ha trabajado como productora en todas las temporadas de Breaking Bad , Better Call Saul y El Camino .
Lalo le pregunta a Jimmy si quiere ser “amigo del cartel”. En su episodio debut en Breaking Bad , cuando Walt y Jesse lo secuestran, Jimmy dice ser amigo del cartel (en español roto "siempre un amigo del cartel"). Según los escritores, esta es una devolución de llamada intencional.
Cuando Mike llama a Jimmy, Jimmy dice que está en un túnel como devolución de llamada a su última conversación . También cita burlonamente el diálogo de Mike cuando rechazó un trabajo con Jimmy en " Algo hermoso ".
El título del episodio hace referencia a las iniciales de Jimmy, James Morgan McGill, que aparecen en el maletín con monograma ofrecido por Kim . Cuando Lalo le pregunta qué significan estas letras, Jimmy responde que es su lema, "La justicia es lo más importante". Lalo se ríe y sugiere un nuevo lema: "Simplemente gana dinero".
Esto simboliza la elección que Jimmy tiene que hacer: ¿Quiere que JMM, es decir, él mismo, signifique justicia, o quiere unirse al lado oscuro y convertirse en amigo del cartel?
La discusión entre Jimmy y Lalo sobre lo que significa JMM también es una devolución de llamada a la discusión de Jimmy y Howard en el episodio " Namaste ", donde Howard le preguntó a Jimmy quién era "Saul Goodman", a lo que Jimmy respondió que él es el máximo defensor de los indefensos. . Teniendo en cuenta que Jimmy ahora está ayudando a Lalo, un asesino a sangre fría, a escapar de la justicia, parece que ha cambiado de opinión.
También evoca la cartelera de JMM de " Hero " de la temporada 1, donde parodiaba la apariencia de HHM y Howard, lo que llevó a Howard a presentar una moción ante un juez para que retirara la cartelera.
Jimmy y Kim se casan en este episodio. Jimmy tiene que darle al secretario los documentos de sus dos disoluciones anteriores, confirmando que se ha divorciado dos veces.
En el episodio " Green Light " de Breaking Bad , Saul le dice a Walt que se ha divorciado dos veces y menciona que su segunda esposa lo engañó con su padrastro, aunque no está claro si lo decía solo para probar un punto.
En una escena eliminada del episodio " Caballo sin nombre " de Breaking Bad , Saúl le dice a Walter que se ha casado tres veces.
En el episodio " Nacho " de Better Call Saul , Jimmy es arrestado después de lograr un "techo corredizo de Chicago" para vengarse de la infidelidad de su ex esposa con un hombre llamado Chet. Se desconoce si esta es su primera o segunda esposa:
Su segunda esposa podría haberse acostado con varios hombres.
Chet podría haber sido su padrastro (aunque no lo menciona en su diatriba).
Queda la simple posibilidad de que su primera esposa también le fuera infiel.
Justo antes de la confrontación de Jimmy con Howard al final del episodio, Jimmy mira a la familia de la víctima de Lalo mientras se esconde detrás de una esquina. Su rostro se refleja en la pared, simbolizando la dualidad de Jimmy y Saul, y el conflicto dentro de él para decidir qué camino quiere tomar: ¿James McGill o Saul Goodman? ¿Justicia o dinero? ¿Defensor de los indefensos o amigo del cartel?
Justo cuando Howard saluda a Jimmy, y Jimmy dice que todavía está "pensando un poco" sobre la oferta de trabajo de Howard, Jimmy gira la cabeza y ve a la familia de la víctima alejándose. Ese es el momento en que Jimmy cambia a Saul y abandona el camino de la redención que podría haber tomado. No acepta el puesto de abogado respetable en HHM con el que siempre soñó, y deja que la indefensa familia de la víctima de un cartel se aleje, negándoles justicia.
Jimmy comienza su diatriba contra Howard acusándolo de matar a su hermano , mientras que Jimmy es igualmente responsable de la muerte de Chuck. Para Jimmy, abrazar el lado oscuro de Saul Goodman es también una forma de negar y negarse a enfrentar su culpa por la muerte de su hermano.
Jimmy acusa a Howard de ser un "hombrecito diminuto en una pequeña burbuja diminuta" y afirma que el trabajo que ofrece Howard es "demasiado pequeño", que Jimmy "viaja por mundos que [Howard] ni siquiera puede imaginar". Jimmy tiene delirios de grandeza, al igual que Walter White como Heisenberg.
Al final de la diatriba de Jimmy contra Howard, afirma que "los rayos salen disparados de [sus] dedos". Este es un poder típico utilizado por los miembros del lado oscuro de la Fuerza en Star Wars ; Los relámpagos salen disparados de las yemas de los dedos del Emperador Palpatine en el Episodio 3 mientras grita "¡poder ilimitado!"
Aunque Gus rechaza las sugerencias de Lydia de un azote en la prisión, luego autoriza a la pandilla de Walt y Jack Welker a llevar a cabo este plan exacto para tratar con 11 afiliados de Gus que posiblemente revelarían los detalles de la operación de Gus. (" Deslizándose sobre todo ")
