Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

So tragic how Howard's cocaine addiction went so far as to stalk Jimmy McGill, an honest and trustful lawyer who specializes in elder law :'(
And Kim caught him in his office, snorting cocaine but didn't say anything
"James and Kimberly"
Saul Goodman*
lmao

Wasn’t the literal purpose of this sabotage to finally get the sandpiper money?
Pretty sure they’d take the billion dollars in this case

"Bro, it's just a prank."
The prank:
One of the most painful yet entertaining scenes to watch in a universe full of painful yet entertaining moments
Nah it was all pain for me.
90% pain and 10% hoping it doesn't go too far
This is 99% pain, can't even get past 1 minute
@@user-lg3fy2rj1mbro what? 😂
Considering how Howard would treat Kim, this was entertaining to watch. Except for his death he didn’t deserve that.
I love how at 2:23 when Howard mentions Jimmy you can see Cliff start to facepalm, but quickly move to adjust his tie instead.
Yup, so very subtle. You can see the old lady perk up too as she loves jimmy
@@FanzyKittenz Loves Jimmy? More like she hates him for what he did to her in season 3.
@@nont18411 oh yeah you're right I forgot
He’s excellent in every appearance in the show. One of the things I love about BCS is how well performed the smaller parts are.
@@nont18411 Actually, she realized that his "accidentally" broadcast confession was made to her benefit, I had the feeling that she - being a nice lady who liked Jimmy for a while before all that - forgave him.
Howard the type of guy to say “uhh… nice kitty?” after falling into the tiger enclosure at the zoo.
"Clearly, this was all just a big misunderstanding."
There's really no need to...
He’s an embodiment of “This is fine” meme
And Jimmy’s the one who “accidentally” pushed him in there
“Well THAT just happened”
At least his life changed for the better after this scene, considering he got sent on a trip to Belize.
true
He's even got a travelling partner to Belize.
Belize is a drug haven and transshipment point. Belize is the last place a drug addict like Howard should go
I'm afraid you haven't seen the whole show yet...not to spoil, but Howard's drug addiction got to him. 😢
@@DropkickNation Belize is a metaphor for being either killed or actually shipped of to the actual place of Belize lmao
I am not crazy! I am not crazy. I know he swapped these photos! I saw this guy with a weird mustache in the photos. One with a plaster on his arm. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just- I just couldn't prove it! He - he covered his tracks, he got that idiot wife to vouch for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That bowling ball. Are you telling me a bowling ball just happens to fall from the sky like that? NO!! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof!! And Chuck saved him. He shouldn't have. And he took him into our own firm! What was he thinking!? He'll never change. He'll never change ever since the day we met, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the patients only sign! But not our Charlie. Couldn't be regular Charlie Hustle! Deceiving us blind! And he gets to be a lawyer?! What a sick joke! Chuck should've stopped him when he had the chance! And you - you have to stop him. You-

I had Chuck's voice in my head when reading this.

"Is this how these usually go?"

How are you my dear?
yes.
She is an old lady
@@nont18411I wouldn’t quite call it abuse
Man even the mediator’s spiel was pitch perfect for an actual one. The writing is so perfect.
Joe....A buddy of mine would always talk about how amazing the writing was. I still think that BCS was better written than BB.
@@tommyd1871 Breaking Bad had the better overall story, but I think what you're noticing is just how much more refined BCS is. The production is better, the characters are much more refined (contrast to BB where some characters were introduced and written on the fly).
BCS had the privilege of knowing where it was going the whole time whereas BB didn't.
Whichever you think is the better show mostly depends on what you hold higher in regard. Story and suspense, or production.
John Posey also did an excellent job with this scene.
It's a better show. BB was comically over the top sometimes. Especially Walters performance. Not to mention that wife.
Far more enjoyable to watch a couple mutually enjoy the crime than have the wife be the most annoying antagonist in TV history.
@@tommyd1871
@tommyd1871 both are entirely different shows. It is like comparing the dark knight to taxi driver. Both brilliant and yet entirely different films
"I'm looking forward to that" was such a simple line but brilliantly delivered by the actor playing the judge/mediator.

Jimmy was the planner. Lalo was the executioner.

why did it take me this long to realize the meaning of that title...
The showrunners and writers thought of EVERYTHING
OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT, HERE'S YOUR UPDOOT FELLOW REDDITOR!
Watching this now, roughly a year and a half after original air date, I'm struck again by the utter nastiness of what Jimmy & Kim did.
hater!
Like actually poor Howard. Dude's been nothing but nice and didn't deserve this at all.
Wdym, he was snorting coke at his desk.
Yeah, Jimmy is the protagonist and is likable, but he still ended up where he deserved by the end of the show.
@@Klemen1x lol dude was nothing but nice (except maybe the first season) and in the end gets his life and career ruined and finally murdered. All due to the actions of this power couple
This whole situation would have been so much different if he just interrupted the meeting and excused himself for a minute to get the photos first.
But he was on that drug
no the drug was in the photos he just touched? i believe @@coghlan2472
It would've been much better for him, but it'd still have been disruptive and unusual enough to sow the doubt that Jimmy and Kim intended.
@@coghlan2472 It wasn't even a drug was it? I thought it was just a chemical that creates a physiological response like sweating and dilated pupils.
@@billballinger5622I mean that's pretty much what drugs do
I like how as soon as Howard mentioned Jimmy, Cliff was about to put his hand on his forehead but stopped to make it look like he was dusting his coat.
He’s like “Oh God, not his Jimmy theory again!”
This is one of the best episodes in all Breaking Bad universe but, at the same time, is so uncomfortable to watch. Howard didn't deserve none of this.
Nah he did
didn't deserve ANY of this
@@zionrion5651nah he didnt
And he certainly did not deserve to die in Saul`s apartment. Just was in wrong place on wrong time.
Howard tried to be as best as he could his entire career. But every time he turned the other cheek, Jimmy and Kim were eager to strike again.
Greatest crackhead I ever knew
4:30 "I am FINE" nicely mirrors Chuck saying "I am not CRAZY!"
"This isn't what fine looks like"
"Is this how these usually go?"
Great line.
"Well, I'm going to have to insist that you be more specific." I love that line. 1:15

As the show progresses you realise Howard was the only good person the whole time.
and old lady to his right
And cliff
Good is highly debatable
No, Saul was the only Goodman all along
I wouldn't say good (better than the rest for sure) because would a good man seriously not hire someone simply because their partner told him not to and to try again in 6 months or something when he knows he won't ever be hired especially later on when he brings them Sandpiper
I love this scene. It is a hard-earned lesson that you should NEVER throw all in without checking your cards. He should have said, "Please excuse me for a moment. It won't take long. I apologize." Then, he should go to his office, retrieve the photographs, check them again, and show them to the judge FIRST. Then, give the speech. Evidence first, conclusion second.
I've seen this happen in court often (in a much less dramatic way, but similar)
True, but Howard also knows if he lets Jimmy continue a scheme it’ll unfold exactly how he wants it like in “Chicanery” so he felt like he needed to stop it dead in its tracks.
Apparently the opening speech the mediator made is standard issue to all mediators I just went through mediation for a civil case and I swear our mediator introduced himself the same way damn near word for word
Was the firm HHM?
Did he happen to know our mutual acquaintance, James morgan Mcguill?
is the mustache mandatory, too?
Although are mediator had a mustache I doubt they're mandatory LOL @@scottmatheson3346
@@scottmatheson3346 It's funny because this guy is perfectly cast as a retired judge who became a mediator lol
Anyone who started feeling bad toward Kim should be reminded of this scene of her constantly smiling and laughing at Howard. He was spot on, those two get off on making people suffer.
On the contrary, this scene is satisfaction
I love how Saul is looking directly at the camera while handing off the frisbee with a face that says "why is this random person taking pictures of me?"
Making Howard look all the crazier.
At first I was like "hahaha yeah get him" but now I'm like "nooooo poor Howard"
The extremely high tension in this scene is astonishing considering how relatively low the stakes are. The fruits of great character development.
"Oh, Markiplier's brother is an artist?"

🤢🤢🤢 grodyy nasty
"Well I'm looking forward to that" in other words, the mediator is looking forward to seeing how wrong he was

One thing that should've tipped Howard off was the amount that he believed the judge took as a bribe.
20 Grand does not feel like a lot for something like this.
Suppose if it's the case, what if it was just an advance? I mean Howard was out of line but it's possible
@@ChrisPBacon-ic6ix It's not just being partial,it's risking his entire career.
It was 2004 my guy not 1933, 20k then would be about 33k now. Like yeah, for a regular guy making the median income that's a big difference, but it's not like 20k would be worth 300k today.
I assume Howard thinks it’s one of many payments.
how much do you think the guy was being paid to be a supposedly impartial mediator in these proceedings? less than $20K. yes, if he got busted this particular time it would not have been worth it but the whole idea is you solicit bribes on a regular basis, not just once.
I remember physically crying out and actually putting my hands over my eyes when they showed the photos of Saul on the bench.
lmao yes i also remember how i loled so hard watching this episode the first time lmaoo ahahah
Now Howard knows how Chuck felt, "he switched them, Jimmy", he probablly feels really stupid now
if Howard just excused himself and went to get the photos first instead of fully interrupting the meeting this would've gone so differently
True, but if he didn’t check them first (because why would he if they’re in the same envelope?) it still would’ve unfolded with him looking unhinged.
@@matthewriley7826 he could check them first just to double check (as I would)
@@Merf_Gaming nah not really, he already accused the judge for taking a bribe real hard
I think it's also a case of tragic yet humorous irony that ALL of this is happening while Chuck's portrait is watching the whole thing go down in flames
Go down in flames... oh dear lol
You can just hear him yelling through the portrait “HE’S DONE WORSE!!!!!”
This Chicanery ???
Let's not forget two bits of additional context that made Cliff completely distrust Howard (not to mention the planted coke, strippers (at the restaurant and the one thrown from his car)), but his son was an addict and in the scene before this he was talking about how he was a friend to Judge Casamiro for many years, so he knew this wasn't something he'd do
Lol yeah Howard should’ve known someone like that wouldn’t stoop so low to take a bribe.
It wasn't suspicion... He had photographic proof.
First time viewing this was so cathartic
On a rewatch it is anything but.
I come back to watch this about once a month. Great acting. Everyone looks perfectly cast as well for their roles.
I can’t even bring myself to watch this scene, it’s just so uncomfortable. As a junior lawyer myself I know a lawyer’s rep is all he’s got, and Howard definitely didn’t deserve none of this.
Who's side are you on? 🧐
didn't deserve ANY of this
True. It's just unfair. I hated Jimmy and Kim after that.
Just tell me you're a pizza delivery boy.
If Howard "didn't deserve none of this", then how much did he deserve?
If you're going to be a lawyer I highly recommend you use your words more carefully.
The look on Schweikartz’ face at 0:32 is beautiful acting. It’s like a professor proudly sitting in on the lecture of a student he taught. He looks like he’s watching a masterclass.
The giddiness of Kimmy and Jimmy watching a man's prestige career crumble to pieces:
😂☺️🥰🤭😝
4:31 This is where Howard was not fine. Similar to "I am not crazy" Chuck s moment
It's funny how Chuck's portrait is overlooking the whole scene. This was Howard's "battery" moment.
"Is that supposed to be me?"
The suspense, the build up... Everything that led up to this point, it was a great high to ride on. But man, how it all came crushing down...
That was the point
I am not crazy!

love the account's recap of this one scene in the video description, i couldn't have made a better one myself
It just doesn't get better than this. Just fantastic story line.
One of the first things I did after I retired was to watch every episode of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul from the beginning, and I still love replaying excerpts.
4:40 Oh wow. His eyes were actually dilated. Look at how he grabs the wheelchair handle for support, then stumbles around the room upon exit. I can tell that's real, because I'm just old enough to have gone to the Optometrist back when they used to dilate the eyes every single time you went for a routine checkup. Your vision would be insanely blurry for hours, and you'd stumble around like a blind man. Now that's attention to detail that I can truly be impressed with.
Well they use contacts and post-production effects to make his eyes look dilated The stumble was practice
@@RabidNemoalso, if looking at it from the characters view point, his pupils were dialated from a stimulant. This does not have anywhere near the blurring effect on vision
@@d8dknee8rjdje8 exactly right
@2:20 Cliff getting PTSD after hearing Saul's name always gets me.
what a sick joke!
Good job by the actor playing the judge. He went from mild confusion to cold anger as the scene progressed.
Seeing Casemiro walk into the room and seeing Howard's face and slowly watching the tension build is one of the funniest moments in TV history imo
And every line from Howard just gets more and more hilarious
A normally mundane legal proceeding interrupted by absurd out of left field accusations however the reactions and dialogue remain believable and grounded in reality - brilliant writing.
This is like an interrogation in LA Noire where you just doubt and accuse the suspect of lying with zero evidence, and seem gradually more and more unhinged.
An incredible scene from an awesome episode from one of the greatest shows of all time.
You know what is the worst thing in that whole situation? The mediator, judge Casimiro was actually right. The compromise WAS the best option for all the parties.
The elderly people didn't need billions dollars as the compensation, just the refund and some extra money. What they needed was to get their money as soon as possible so that they could enjoy life and their money during the few years that were left to them.
Also, while the big portrait of Chuck is hunging behind judge Casimiro, what the mediator proposes here, is the exact opposite of Chuck's personal philosophy i.e. the winner takes it all.
What the judge is saying is that you don't need to take it all, you need to compromise. And that's something neither Jimmy nor Kim were capable of, possibly, because they learned it from Chuck.
The loser's standing small
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS SCENE FREAKING NAILED THEIR PART. HOLY MOLLY!
It never ceases me to make me laugh when his pupilles dilatate after the pictures xD
They really did him dirty.
1:32
What an evil couple, they are truly together poison
She also wasted her potential as a lawyer
@@doraemon61377 yeah, but that fixation of Howard and Chuck over Jimmy was also weird, they could just let it go and never talk to Jimmy or Kim again.
Now this is top-tier gaslighting!
Enormes actores. Una completa injusticia la falta de premios a esta obra de arte.
Poor Howard. Poor freaking Howard. Just diabolical how well setup and executed this was. I mean it was entertaining and funny to watch from Jimmy's perspective but god from a conscience standpoint this is painful. *sigh*
"Is this how these usually go?" God, I love how innocent Mrs Landry is, she's such a sweet granny XD
I'll say it. I enjoyed this scene when I watched it for the first time and then not anymore.
And that’s how he got a spin-off called “Howard gone Soured”.
After they create “Better Fuel Huel”
I AM NOT CRAZY. I KNOW HE SWAPPED THOSE PICTURES
I never quite understood why Kim wanted to nail Howard to such an extreme degree. It's one thing to humiliate him as payback for their past friction, but she wanted to completely destroy his life.
The saul setting up Howard scenes are some of the best on TV history
'Is this how these usually go?' - 😂😂😂
I feel so bad for Howard now 😢 he didn't deserve this
Saul is the master of doing baroque things.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Until the collateral damage…
Finally lol been waiting for this one
Lmao I really need to rewatch this anime, loved the first 3 seasons
bro, anime? rewatch when u havent watched all 6? more like catch up
Uh...
Classic end of scene, almost as good as “I’ll have what she’s having.”
One of the best scenes of television. Ever.
Howard is the most tragic character in the entire BB universe
Great effect on Howard’s eyes. Just last week I had a typical eye exam where they dilate your eyes. Lol. Looked just like mine
When the photos were shown of Saul casually handing a frisbee to the dude I laughed so hard milk shot from my nose
In the end, I was sad to see Howard go by the hands of Lalo. That scene is just behind Nacho's death scene.
Such a shame seeing such a talented lawyer give himself over to addiction like this. I hope he gets help soon.
He orchestrated it! Jimmy!
Watching this for the first time it was great to see Howard getting his, after seeing how he ended it makes this almost uncomfortable.
tired meme, i know, but...
this is the moment howard became chuck.
he's right there on the wall, grinning like he's saying "i told you so."
"Evidence has been tampered with" 🤣
"Howard please"
The acting is so damn good
Ah man I need to watch BCS for the third time.
I was with Breaking bad from when the first episode ever aired. I didn't think it was possible, but to me, BCS surpasses it.
When I first watched this scene, I was practically cheering Kim and Jimmy. Oh boy how quickly that changed.
I love Howard's pronunciations of Photos and Barroque
This was so damn good
One line and the old lady steals the scene 💀
In retrospect, I now feel sorry for Howard and contempt for Saul.
Never in a million years would I have guessed that it took a character like Howard to make me start to not like Jimmy......
The writers of this show didn't win enough awards for this show....
“Walter White couldn’t have done it without me”
How the F@@@ did Rhea Seehorn NOT get an emmy I will never know. Even when she is a secondary actress in a scene she steals it. Her facial expressions, her reactions, her commitment to Kim Wexler was extraordinary.
