6.6.-Axe and Grind



Better Call Saul
 Season 6, Episode 6
 Axe and Grind Transcript


Kim and Jimmy enlist a knowledgeable contact; Howard scrutinizes Jimmy's business practices. 


Previously, on "Better Call Saul"... 
Did I mention the signing bonus?
 I got a name.
 Rand Casimiro.
 Retired judge. And what about your husband, ma'am?
 He must have said something to you. 

Howard: All roads lead back to you. 
I'd like to think that this ends it. 
Probably not. I need to know everything he does. 

Saul: I let him suck me into his game.

 Kim: Because you know what's coming next.
 ( Indistinct conversations in distance ) 
( Keys jingling ) 
( Lock disengages ) 
And here she is. 
Oh, my God. Kimmy. Really?
 What is going on with you?
 She's never done anything like this before. Never.
 She's a straight-A student.
 She's always got her nose in a book.
 Well, I don't know what to tell you, ma'am. 
She was caught red-handed.
 A thief.
 You know better than this, Kim. 
I-I'd say I'm disappointed, but that doesn't even begin to cover it. 
What happens now? Well 
( sighs )
 when the merchandise in question is over $20 in value, it is company policy to call the police. The police. You know what?
 Maybe that's for the best. 
Nip it in the bud. I mean, protecting her from the consequences of her own actions...
 I do have some discretion here. Um.... 
( Sighs )
 Our main concern is we just don't want to see the same faces over and over.
 So if you can promise me that this was a one-time thing... 
Well, Kim. 
You heard  Mr. Pearson. Are you going to do it again?
 No. I'd like to believe that.
 And what was so wonderful that you just had to steal it?
 ( Lowered voice ) 
Earrings. What? 
I-I can't even hear you
. Earrings and a necklace.
 Earrings and a necklace. 
Unbelievable. It's part of our new Starlight Collection. 
It's priced at $34.50, but that one is unsellable.
 The chain was broken when she tried to hide it in that purse. 
My God. 
$34.50?
 What about tax? 
No, I-I don't expect you to... 
I'm not paying for it, sheis. 
This is coming out of your allowance.
 I don't care if it takes 10 years.
 She's going to wish we called the police. 




Mr. Pearson: Well, including sales tax, it's $35.53. 
Thirty-five... 
Uh, i-it's... it's really not necessary. 
Mnh. 
This is... 
I can...
 I can give you $13 right now. 
Uh... 
And we'll come back with the rest. 
Ma'am. Really, i-it's fine. 
You've been very, very kind. Well, Kim, what do we say? 
Thank you.
 Y'know, you got a fine mother there.
 You don't want to disappoint her again.
 ( Sighs ) Thank you for being so understanding. 
Oh, my pleasure.
 Best of luck. 
( Birds chirping ) 
( Laughs )
 "Nip it in the bud..." 
( Laughs ) 
I didn't know you had it in you.
 ( Seat belt clicks ) 
Here. I got you something. See?
 Your mom's good for something, hm? 
( Chuckling ) 
Hey, kiddo, relax. You got away with it.

 Hi. Morning. 
How'd you sleep? 
Good. 
And you?
 Alright, I think.
 Didn't you say something about replacing the mattress out there? 
It's fine
 ( Clicks tongue )
 That is for you. Thanks. 
( Clattering lightly ) 
We should talk about the Abramson fundraiser.
 Is that coming up?
 Next Friday. 
I can't believe it's been a whole year... 
How do you want to handle it?
 Well, however you want. 
You can go, or I can go. 
Or, if it's easier, we could both go. I'll go. Sure. Probably for the best. 
Uh, actually, t-there is something you should know about. 
A situation I'm dealing with.
 Y-You remember what was going on with Chuck's brother, Jimmy? 
You mean with the bowling balls and... so on? 
That's not over with? Mmh-mmh.
 I think it's getting worse. 
In fact, it's possible you might hear or see something.
 I couldn't say what. Just know that, if you do... whatever it is... 
I'm handling it. I will put an end to this. 
Whatever it takes.
 I thought you should know. 
Duly noted. 
I'm having dinner with the Appels tonight, so you've got the house to yourself. Tell them I said hello. I will. 
( Birds chirping in distance ) 
Genidowski: He saw clients starting at 9:00 a.m. 
One tried to bring a pet cockatiel into the waiting room. 
That caused a bit of a ruckus. 
Then it was more clients until lunch at 1:15. 
Takeout for him and the receptionist... 
Taco Cabeza.
 After that, another four clients.
 He left the office around 2:00. 
Made a quick stop for coffee... 
same place as the day before.
 2:30 to 3:20, he was down at the courthouse for a bail hearing. 
Then back to the office.
 Home at 10 after 8:00.
 Wednesday was more of the same.
 Out at 8:30. 
Got to the office by a quarter-of. Clients all day. 
Uh, that takes to the second composite, case you want to check them out for yourself. He got lunch for himself and his receptionist at around 1:30.
 The Vietnamese place again. Then, in the...
 What's this? Yeah, I was just getting to that.
 That was three days ago. 
Only time he broke the pattern.
 Stopped at Cradock Marine over on Central instead of going straight to the office.
 Looked like he made a cash withdrawal.
 I couldn't get a good angle through the window, but I counted four, maybe five stacks? 
I'd say somewhere in the ballpark of 20 grand. 
I'm not a lawyer, but is there any reason he'd need that much cash in the normal course of business?
No legitimate reason.
 ( Knock on door )
 ( Lock disengages )

 Mr. Oliver: Thank you so much, Doc. 
Of course. 
Of course. 
Come on in.
 We'll take a look.
 It's gonna be okay. Gonna be okay. 
( Keys jingling, lock engages ) 
Come on. 
( Dog whining )
 Caldera: Okay. Fernando's gonna be fine.
 The shot I gave him will settle his stomach.
 But I want to keep him for a few more minutes, make sure he doesn't have any reactions. After that, you're all set. That's such a relief. 
We were so worried. 
We're lucky you were able to see us.
 Ah, it's no problem. 
I was already here with another patient.
 Alright. Be back
( Smooches ) 
( Door creaks lightly )
 ( Dogs barking ) Alright. 
How are we doing? 
I dunno, um, I guess my skin's a little dry where you put that stuff on, but otherwise... 
Are you sure you used enough? 
Absolutely.
 ( Sighs ) Just give it a little more time. Look all the way to the right. Now to the left. What's it gonna feel like?
 ( Sighs ) Depends on how used to caffeine you are.
 I mean, you're not gonna be trippin' balls, but... 
it's gonna feel like, you know, two Red Bulls on an empty stomach. And how long is it gonna last?
 Is the guy roughly your size? Yeah. An hour or two.
 And if there's a blood test?
 This stuff is not showing up on any blood panel they're running in this town. 
You're gonna do this, this is the way to go. Here.
 ( Chuckling )
 Whoa, whoa. Promise me this has been sterilized.
 It's brand new, and for you, it goes under the armpit. 
( Chuckling ) 
Okay. Sorry. ( Sighs ) I cannot wait to be done with all of this. 
I hear ya. You know, I read somewhere that vets are even more depressed than lawyers. 
( Chuckles )
 Depressed? No, no, no, no, no
I love being a vet. 
Look over there. See that? That's what it's all about. 
Animals are my life. It's this other stuff that's getting to be too much, no offense. Anyway, a guy's gotta know when he's bagged his limit.
 What... so you're closing up shop? 
Yep. Leaving town.
 Once I sell my little black book, it's gonna be all animals, all the time. Black book?
 Yeah, the keys to the kingdom. 
You know, you call me up, you're looking for a someone?
 ( Taps book ) 
Keep all my "someones" in here. 
Can I see it? Knock yourself out. 
( Chuckles ) 
Oh. Alright, yeah. I think we, uh... we found the Zodiac Killer. Well... 
I'm not keeping my contacts in plain English.
 "Best Quality Vacuum"? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright. Let's give it another 10. I'll be back. 
( Sighs ) 
What a waste. You think? ( Scoffs ) Did you see how many people he had in that book? 
I mean, he's raking it in, day in, day out. It's passive income. Minimal risk.
 I can't believe he's walking away from that. Well...
 he knows what he wants. 
Anything? 
( Sighs ) 
Not really. 
( Chuckling )
 Oh, my God. What? 
Uh... 
( Chuckles ) 
Whoa.
( Breathes sharply ) 

Judge Metcalf: Hold on. Hold on. Let's just cut to the chase. Your client... 
who has, let's call it a "checkered" past, was pulled over for a clear violation of traffic laws and found in possession of a felony quantity of marijuana.


And now you're asking me to throw out this evidence?

In words of one syllable, how does this pass the smell test?

 Kim: Your Honor
 ( clears throat ) 
this is what this is all about. 
According to Officer Connell's report, this is the reason Joshua Holcome was pulled over.
 New Mexico statue 66-3-846.
 Driving with an obstructed window. 
This morning, I did an informal survey of the courthouse parking lot. 
And by my count, over a third of the vehicles had something similar hanging from their rear-view mirrors. I believe your car was one of them, Your Honor. So
 ( sighs )
 unless you and 47 of our colleagues have outstanding tickets, I'd argue that this statute is not... regularly enforced. 
Your Honor, this was a perfectly reasonable, routine stop for cause.
 Uh, what's the point here? 
The point is that this was not routine.
 Officer Connell knew my client.
 In fact, he arrested him five years ago when Joshua was a juvenile. 
And Officer Connell's record shows that this is only the third citation he's written for this statute in almost 20 years.

Your Honor, all I'm asking is that you take another look at the officer's statement. 
Ask yourself if the state's version of events passes the "smell test."
 ( Whirring )
 ( Clanking ) 
Main: That was nicely argued.
 Thanks. We'll see what the judge does. 
( Chuckles ) 
( Clears throat ) 
Defense like that takes time to pull together, doesn't it?
 Whaddya think it took... 30 hours? Oh, probably more like 50. 50 hours. 
Huh. And the contracts office...
 they pay...? $700 a case. Flat. 
So you're making minimum wage, more or less. 
Whew. 
I've been meaning to ask, if you don't mind...
 how did you leave things with Howard Hamlin? 
( Indistinct conversations in distance )
 I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Howard.
 I wouldn't be an attorney. 
I wouldn't have met my husband.
 I owe Howard and HHM a lot.
 Have you heard of the Jackson Mercer Foundation?
 Of course. 
They fund justice reform programs on the East Coast.
 I wish we had something like that out here.
 Well, it's a bit hush-hush at the moment, but we will soon. 
And that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
 ( Footsteps approaching ) 
( Door rattles )
 ( Knock on door ) 

Francesca: We're closed!
 Francesca?
( Knock on door )
 Oh, Kim! ( Lock disengages ) Hi! 

Kim: Hey. Come on...
 Come on in. Thanks. It's good to see you. 
You, too. Jimmy was so, uh, thrilled... 
( Lock engages )
 ...when you said you would work for him again. Well, so far, so good. It's no Wexler-McGill. 
( Chuckles ) 
They're... They're still working in the back.
 Oh, okay. My God, look at this place! 
Yeah, Jimmy...
 Oh, sorry, "Saul," is letting me take a free hand. 
I'm going for a vibe that's professional and refined but, still, you know, inviting. 
( Chuckles )
 Oh, it's definitely inviting. It's... It's...
 It's classy!
 Thanks! I don't know if you saw it before, but it's come a long way. 
That whole back wall is brand new. Um, everything has been repainted.
 I know there's a lot of molding. 
I-I found a contractor who does it for a price...
 so I just went for it. 
I've also got a pair of water features coming. 
For serenity. 
Wow, Francesca, you really have an eye! Well, it's still a work in progress. 
Well, I can't wait to see the final product.
 But I know you were on your way out.
 I don't want to keep you. Yeah, I should get going. 
Oh, yeah.
 Congratulations!
 The wedding? 
Uh, uh, y... 
Saul told me you guys got married. 
( Chuckles )
 I, um...
 C-Can I ask, are...
 are you registered anywhere?
 That is so sweet, but, uh 
( chuckles )
 no, it was all very low key. 
We have everything we need. 
Okay. Well, it's great to see you... Yeah, you, too...
 again
. ( Chuckles )
 Mm. Have a good night, Francesca.
 ( Sighs ) 
( Lock engages ) 
( Bag unzips )
 Hm.

 Sound Guy: Where are the extra batteries? 

Camera Guy: Black bag, front pocket...
 Umm. Well, this could work, right?
 No, our guy has more of a curl on the ends. 

Camera Guy: Doesn't matter. 
Nothing matters. It's an action shot. 
I'm gonna shoot it 1/13 of a second.
 Give it some blur. Blur?
 No! No blur, okay? We need him to be recognized...
 that's the whole point. 
( Door creaks )
 ( Sighs )
 Kim, hey! 
Hey, everyone. 
Hi.
 We started late because someone took forever to get the equipment.
 I don't control when they do inventory. 
Hey. I'm playing a man of substance, am I not?
 What?
 I see him as a man of means.
 Of style. Uh, no, these are just stills, Lenny. Just keep it simple. 
Well, b-but just... 
just to ask, though, wouldn't my character grow something more like that? 
It's docudrama.
 Doc... reality, right? 
Just keep it simple and no improvisation. 
Yes. Yes. Yes. He's gonna be great. C'mere. 
( Paper rustles )
 Weigh in on this. Okay. Uh..
. Alright. Let's try this one. 
Just trim it a little bit and put wax on the ends.
 Yes! 
( Snaps fingers )
 That one... trimmed and waxed. 
You got it. 
( Sighs ) Everything okay?
 Yeah, yeah.
 I'll talk to you later.
 Let's keep this going. You wanna...? 
10 minutes to set, guys. Oh. Thank you, 10.
 ( Clears throat ) 
( Door closes ) 
You're doing great. I am, aren't I? 
Holy sh¡t! The Jackson Mercer Foundation.
 That's like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
 Well, it... it's not a done deal. Uh... 
( Sighs ) 
Some of the foundation board members are flying in next week to meet the Lieutenant Governor at a luncheon in Santa Fe.
 So they are inviting a select group of people with... 
Cliff called them "up and coming organizations." 
And, uh, yeah, Cliff thinks I have a good shot. 
A good "shot"?
 You have more than a shot. 
They're gonna love you on sight! 
The only thing is, the lunch is on D-Day. So?
 What? 
That's... 
You don't have to be there on the day. 
Was Eisenhower on Omaha Beach? 
No! Kim, this is great. Right?
 It's huge.
 ( Chuckles )
 It is pretty great.
 ( Chuckles ) Kim, this is fantastic!

Jimmy: The last thing you want is to look like you're some kind of loner.
 If someone can come with you, a boyfriend or girlfriend, that's a good thing.
 If you can convince your mom, that's even better.
 I mean, if granny's still alive, jackpot.
 Thank you, m'dear. 
So, if you will just sign on the dotted line... 
( Clicks pen )
 ...we'll have you back to the Rusty Bucket by happy hour.
 You made that call, right? 
Uh... 
Try to
 ( sighs )
 make it legi... 
About that.
 I-I just had a couple of questions. 
Francesca, can we sidebar in the law library? 
( Clears throat ) 
( Birds chirping )
 ( Door creaks ) 
What is the holdup?
 I just... I-I don't know if I'm comfortable.
 Is this even legal?
 I'm sorry, which of us went to law school? 
Because I could stand here and go through the ins and outs of what's quote, unquote legal with you, uh, but we're on a clock. 
I just don't... 
Francesca, let's get something straight, okay?

We can't be holding a graduate seminar in Constitutional Law every time I give you something to do. But I... 
Uh, I-I'm not sure I feel...
 You know what I'm paying you. It is above market.
 To whom much is given, much is expected.
 We're not gonna make a habit of this, right?
 Of course not. Absolutely.
 No, no, no. 
Here. Put it on speaker and let me hear. 
( Line ringing )

 HHM Receptionist: Hamlin Hamlin McGill. 
Uh. 
( Stammers ) 
Hi, um, there. Uh, I'm calling because my...
 my mother is... is...
 Well, I guess she's a-a client of yours.
 She lives in the Sandpiper Assisted Living...? 
Sandpiper? Of course. Let me transfer you.
 It's just a phone call.

 HHM Assistant: Good afternoon. 
Do you have a question about the Sandpiper Crossing case?
 Uh, yes.
 My mother's out at the facility in Amarillo. 
Says she's supposed to call in to some meeting on Thursday?
 Yes, you're talking about the mediation? 
That's it. 
Uh, thing is, she lost her dial-in instructions. 
( Chuckles )
 I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. 
( Chuckles )
 I'd be happy to help you with that.
 It's very important to us that all the class members are fully looped in.
 What's your mother's name? 
Uh, Marnie Stuber. That's... 
That's 
S-T-U-B-E-R.
 ( Chuckles ) 
Oh. Bless your heart. ( Chuckles ) She'll be so relieved. 
( Chuckles ) Okay. It's very simple. 
The meeting is happening at our offices, so she just has to call the main line, the same number you called just now, press 7, and then enter the passcode.
 I can give that to you now. 
Do you have a pen? 
Uh. Yeah, yeah. Yup. I-I'm ready. 
( Pen clicks ) 
Okay. It's 8-4-2-1-5-9. 8-4-2-1-5-9? 
That's right. Okay.
 Uh, thank you so much.
 I really appreciate it. 
Of course. Take care. 
Mm. Was that so hard? 
( Urinating ) 
( Gasps )
 Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop! 
No, wait! Don't turn around!
 What?
 Finish what you're doing! 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finish.
 Uh, yeah. Hey, where are you going? 
Cleanup on aisle nine!
 You clean it up.
 ( Sighs ) 
( Woman coughing ) 
( Urinating ) 
Steady. 

( Machinery whirring )
 ( Machines thumping ) 
Need something? 
Yeah.
 The boss sent me.
 He wants to know why you took guys off your house.
 I haven't been home for more than an hour in the last three weeks. 
Still. 
Salamanca knows who you are. 
He could show up there. We're stretched thin. 
I made a judgment call. 
Yeah. 
Stretched thin. 
You got guys at, uh, the lawyers', the garage, Varga's upholstery shop, El Mich... 
Your point? 
Seems to me the most obvious place to pull from is Alameda Street.
 My guys stay on Alameda. 
Alameda is a long shot. 
The boss has a problem, he knows how to reach me.
 If you have a problem... I'm right here.

Kaylee: Want to know the star closest to Earth? 
Huh? Tell me. It's the sun.
 That's right. Hi, Pop-Pop! 
Hey, kiddo
. You ready for some star-gazing? 
Yeah! How's your view?
 Not too much light?
 No, it's good. Good. 
Alright, I want you to start by finding the Big Dipper for me.
 Um... I've got it!
 You see the handle and the bowl? 
Uh-huh.
 Trace a line across the bottom of the bowl till you see a bunch of stars that look like a backward question mark.
 Oh! It's Leo the Lion!
 I see him. There's his head. 
There you go. 
What's that underneath? 
The really bright one. 
Is it a planet?
 You know what?
 That might just be Jupiter. Wow. 
I think Jupiter is my favorite. 
Did you know it's the largest planet in our solar system? 
Is it? 
Bigger than the Earth? 
Uh-huh. 
It's called a gas giant. 
Ohh. Now, that's not very nice.
 Pop-Pop! It's not that kind of gas.

How's Chattanooga?
 Oh, it's... fine. I'm, uh...

Well, I hope they're paying you overtime. 
They're making it worth my while.

Gotta warn you, though, it's on the pricey side

And worth every penny. 
Oh, you've had it before?

En 1984 , Nebraska , una joven Kim Wexler se sienta en la oficina trasera de una tienda por departamentos. El gerente entra a la oficina con la madre de Kim y le dice que atraparon a la niña intentando robar un par de aretes y un collar. Aparentemente, la madre de Kim reprende a su hija y amenaza con quitarle el valor de los artículos de su asignación, pero el gerente amablemente rechaza eso o llama a la policía. 
Fuera de la tienda, la madre de Kim deja caer la fachada y demuestra que no le importa lo que ha pasado. Ella revela que ella misma robó otro par de aretes y se los da a Kim; ella dice que Kim debería animarse porque se salió con la suya. Mientras se alejan, Kim mira inquieta por la ventana del auto.

Acto I

En 2004, Howard inicia su rutina matutina. Él prepara café para su esposa, Cheryl , pero se hace evidente que los dos están distanciados. Después de aceptar que Cheryl asista sola a un compromiso social, Howard le cuenta los problemas que ha tenido con Jimmy y dice que han empeorado. Él le dice que, si ella ve o escucha algo relacionado con él, que recuerde que él está manejando el asunto. En HHM , el investigador privado de Howard le muestra fotos de vigilancia tomadas de Jimmy en su nueva práctica, Saul Goodman & Associates.. Howard observa una foto de Jimmy visitando un banco, donde el IP dice que había realizado varios retiros de efectivo por un monto de alrededor de $20,000. Howard afirma que Jimmy "no tiene ninguna razón legítima" para necesitar tanto dinero.

Esa noche, el Dr. Caldera tiene una consulta nocturna en su clínica con una pareja y su perro. Después de tratar al perro, se excusa para ir a otra habitación donde Jimmy y Kim están esperando. Jimmy ha recibido una droga psicotrópica, y Caldera monitorea periódicamente la evolución de su comportamiento. Caldera revela que está a punto de mudarse de Albuquerque , expresando alivio porque ya no tendrá que involucrarse en la delincuencia y ahora puede tratar animales a tiempo completo. Menciona tener un "pequeño libro negro" de contactos en el inframundo de la ciudad, que Jimmy pide ver. Él y Kim descubren que el libro está escrito en clave; entre las páginas hay varias tarjetas de presentación, incluso para una empresa de reparación de aspiradoras, confundiendo a Kim en cuanto a su propósito. Después de que Caldera sale de la habitación, Jimmy no puede creer que se alejaría del dinero que está ganando, mientras que Kim dice que "sabe lo que quiere". Kim mira a Jimmy y, divertida, lo lleva a un espejo, mostrando que sus pupilas se han dilatado.

Acto II

En el juzgado, Cliff observa una audiencia en la que Kim defiende a su cliente por un cargo de posesión de drogas, argumentando que la justificación del oficial que lo arrestó para detenerlo, un ambientador de isótopos de Albuquerque, no constituía una causa probable. Luego, en el pasillo afuera, Cliff le pregunta cómo dejó las cosas con Howard cuando dejó HHM. Kim le da crédito en broma a Howard y HHM tanto por su carrera como por su relación con Jimmy. Cliff menciona la Fundación Jackson Mercer, un grupo legal sin fines de lucro que financia programas de reforma judicial en la costa este, y le revela a Kim que quiere hablar con ella sobre un intento de llevar la fundación a Nuevo México .

Después del anochecer, Kim visita la oficina de Jimmy y Francesca la deja entrar . Kim está impresionada con la sala de espera recién construida, que tiene una apariencia elegante y de aspecto profesional acorde con los gustos de Francesca. Francesca, que no ha visto a Kim desde el cierre de Wexler McGill , felicita a Kim por su matrimonio con Jimmy. Después de que ella se va, Kim ingresa a la nueva oficina de Jimmy, donde él y el equipo de filmación de Joey están a punto de maquillar a un actor que se hace pasar por Rand Casimiro , el mediador en el caso Sandpiper . Después de elegir un bigote falso para que lo use el actor, Kim le dice a Jimmy que Cliff la ha invitado a un almuerzo en Santa Fe .en el que estarán presentes los miembros del directorio de la Fundación Jackson Mercer, así como el vicegobernador. Jimmy está extasiado, pero Kim tiene dudas porque el almuerzo está programado para el "Día D". Jimmy le asegura que nada saldrá mal porque su presencia no será necesaria. Los dos comparten un beso apasionado.

En un bosque en Alemania, Casper , un ex miembro del equipo de excavación de Werner Ziegler , está cortando leña cuando Lalo conduce a su cabaña. Al sentir el peligro, Casper huye e intenta esconderse en un granero cercano. Sacando una pistola, Lalo lo sigue adentro. Casper cae sobre Lalo y lo golpea con el extremo romo de su hacha, lo que hace que Lalo se derrumbe y aparentemente tenga dificultades para respirar. Al ser interrogado, Lalo explica que rastreó a Casper a través del bloque Lucite que le dio a la viuda de Werner, Margarethe .. Sin embargo, Lalo recupera la ventaja al atraer a Casper a una distancia cercana y cortarle la cara con una hoja de afeitar, y luego usar el hacha para cortarle el pie izquierdo. Lalo se quita el cinturón y le dice a Casper que ligue el sangrado del muñón, diciendo que van a "hablar".

Acto III

En Saul Goodman & Associates, Francesca mira con inquietud la colección de inútiles en la sala de espera de Jimmy. Ella ingresa a la oficina de Jimmy con una carta de compromiso para el cliente que está consultando actualmente. Francesca pide una palabra, lo que hace que Jimmy se disculpe mientras hablan en la "biblioteca de derecho", el callejón detrás del centro comercial. Allí, los dos discuten sobre una tarea que Jimmy le ha asignado: llamar a HHM haciéndose pasar por pariente de un demandante de Sandpiper. Jimmy desdeña sus preocupaciones y la convence para que llame a la empresa desde un teléfono desechable. Hablando con un representante de HHM, Jimmy y Francesca se enteran de que las oficinas de HHM albergarán la próxima sesión de mediación y reciben el código de acceso necesario para participar por teléfono. Regresan a la oficina de Jimmy para descubrir a su cliente orinando en una fuente de agua.
Mientras tanto, en Lavandería Brillante , Mike es convocado a una reunión con Tyrus , quien cuestiona su decisión de retirar la vigilancia de su propia casa mientras mantiene la vigilancia en otros lugares de la ciudad, específicamente en la calle Alameda. Mike responde que hizo una llamada de juicio debido a sus recursos estirados e insiste en que se mantenga la vigilancia en la calle Alameda. Esa noche, Mike va a la calle Alameda y entra en una casa vacía que está custodiada por dos de los hombres de Gus . La casa está al otro lado de la calle de Stacey y Kaylee.dirección de Los marca a través de su teléfono celular y observa cómo observan las estrellas a través de un telescopio en su jardín delantero. Finalmente, Kaylee se acuesta en la cama y Stacey conversa con Mike, teniendo la impresión de que está en un largo viaje de negocios. Mike continúa vigilando después de que Stacey regresa a su casa.

Acto IV.

En el apartamento de Kim , ella y Jimmy revisan sus notas adhesivas que describen las fases de su plan contra Howard; Kim tacha el último post-it que marca la fase final hasta el "Día D", que es el día siguiente. Jimmy sugiere que salgan a celebrar la inminente finalización de su trama visitando "Omaha Beach". Posteriormente van a un área cubierta de hierba, se sientan en una manta de picnic y comparten una botella de vino. Después de que la pareja brinda por el "mañana", se revela que están sentados afuera de las oficinas de HHM.

A la mañana siguiente, Kim y Jimmy salen del apartamento: Kim para asistir al almuerzo en Santa Fe y Jimmy para supervisar el "Día D". Jimmy va a una tienda de vinos a comprar una botella de Zafiro Añejo anticipándose al éxito del plan. Sin embargo, se sorprende al ver a Rand Casimiro parado en la línea de pago delante de él, con una gran escayola en el brazo izquierdo. Jimmy, presa del pánico, llama a Kim, que se está yendo de la ciudad, para informarle que la trama se ha torcido; no hay forma de que puedan hacer pasar fotos de Jimmy reuniéndose con el actor haciéndose pasar por Casimiro como genuinas. Jimmy sugiere que aborten el plan y "luchen otro día", pero Kim, después de mucha deliberación interna, insiste en que "sucederá hoy". Ella conduce a través de una mediana de la carretera y acelera de regreso a Albuquerque.

Trivialidades.

Entre las páginas del libro de contactos criminales de Caldera hay una tarjeta comercial para Best Quality Vacuum, que revela que Caldera tiene conexiones con Ed Galbraith , el Desaparecedor, lo que posiblemente explica cómo Saul se enteró de los servicios de Ed en el futuro.
La carta parece ser la misma o al menos similar a la carta que Saul le ofrece a Walter White en el episodio " Crawl Space " de Breaking Bad .
Esto se sugiere además por el hecho de que el libro de Caldera se encuentra entre los elementos que se ven embargados en el flashforward de " Wine and Roses ", lo que acusa a Saul de haberlo comprado.






Frases memorables

Caldera : " Una vez que venda mi librito negro, serán todos los animales todo el tiempo " .
Kim : " ¿Libro negro? "
Caldera : " Sí, las llaves del reino. Sabes, me llamas, ¿estás buscando a alguien? Mantén a todos mis "alguien" aquí " .
Un Caldera que se jubila revela su libro de contactos criminales

" Oh. Está bien, sí. Creo que, eh, encontramos al Asesino del Zodíaco " .
La reacción de Saúl al ver el libro codificado de Caldera

" ¿ Aspiradora de la mejor calidad ? "
―Kim está confundida por uno de los contactos de Caldera
