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."

you think a car just happens to break down like that? no! he orchestrated it!
Jimmy!
He defecated through a sunroof!
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF
But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy!
Stealing them blind!
He thinks he's a wolf just for scamming the most scammable person on earth
Literally just a bottom feeder begging for a handout but he speaks of it like he just robbed a bank
because wolves prey on the weak. He literally says wolves and sheep.
Exactly 💯
And when Jimmy faced the real wolves like Lalo and Walter, he folded, like a sheep.
@@cv-05I've seen wolves hunt down some pretty big bison and musk ox, just saying
This was definitely an establishing point in the series, given Jimmy's ability to spot a con man at such a young age. Well, like Chuck said, their father wasn't the greatest businessman.
I think it was mostly in the "wolf" line. This whole turnout with the Heisenberg thing and Jimmy's cunningness bolstering all that partially into existence indirectly in the first place through his own support and connections, with that final motivation stemming from this encounter I'm sure, but specifically that line I figured.
couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer
but not our jimmy, couldnt be precious jimmy
Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke!
i should've stopped him when i had the chance!
I mean you have to stop him! He's...
@@bobsagat122 HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF
Meanwhile Hector was drowning his nephew in a cooler.
😂😂
La familia es todo…
This was in 1973
Hector was drowning his nephew somewhere in the late 80s
@@RX7821979🤓☝️
This is 1970s, Hector was probably blowing some cartel lord for a position in cartel business 😆
Chuck couldn't accept that his father was getting conned by people and put all blame on Jimmy on what happened to the store
Jimmy certainly didn’t help the situation.
@@eatmorvegetal3444 yeah he did his dad brushed him off and lost the store because of it
@@tbuckley2031 We are saying the same thing.
@@tbuckley2031Seems like his father just couldn't see it coming. The moment Jimmy boy knew, the specs couldn't even take his word. Guess had to pocket in on the take for the cartoons.
@@tbuckley2031 Jimmy could have not exacerbated the situation and asked to take over his father’s business, you know, like a normal person.
This is the beginning of everything. If this scene haven’t existed the entire trajectory of this universe would be different.
Bravo Vince
Thanks Bince 👏
If I’m not mistaken this is the earliest point in time in the entire BCS/BB universe
@@ethanbarnes7163close. It's the second earliest. This is supposed to be in 1973. The earliest is the flashback at the beginning of lantern (the last episode of season 3) of Chuck reading Mabel to Jimmy which is in 1965
So true.
The was the moment that Jimmy became Heisen- I mean became Saul Goodman.
Heisen sells coca-cola, Saul sells generic store brand cola
this is the moment a comment was stolen
@@CombustixPresents no the moment a comment BECAME stolen
Man, imagine a father believing a random stranger instead of his own son.
All because he wanted to be a “good” guy.
i mean jimmy had no evidence for it
like his father said "and what if you're wrong"
Man, imagine a son chose to follow the philosophy of a random stranger about scamming people instead of his own father who taught him to be a good person.
All because he wanted to be a “wolf”.
@@nont18411 i don't think that's a very good interpretation. Jimmy isn't interested in being a wolf, and he's not even happy about taking the money at the end. He simply believes that the man is right, that there are good natured people who get taken advantage of by people who recognize that.
@@nont18411You know kids are still developing their behavior. This is a crucial point in someone's life that dictates what they're going to be like in the future. The father, on the other hand, may have had all the evidence that he was getting conned and still kept giving the handouts
@@nont18411I think he didn’t want to be a sheep more than he wanted to be a wolf.
"There are wolves and sheeps in this world. Figure out which one are you going to be"
This advice is what began the BB universe plotline
What hunts wolves? That’s what I aspire to be.
@@ArmyJameshumans
@@ArmyJames The police. They are like a Shepard in the analogy. Trying to keep the naive, weak and stupid sheep safe from the smart but hungry wolves.
Cute quote but I gotta better one “ what is the purpose of gaining all the wealth in the world, if you forfeit your soul”
@@derekgarza553 don't know about that, gaining wealth kinda gave Walter White a purpose in his last few years. Until then he was living a meaningless and monotonous existence with no self respect.
I wonder how this scene would play out if Chuck was the one working in this store instead of Jimmy...
He would fry the man with hidden electric powers
He would've offered the conman some more chicken and some more pie
Chuck would’ve probably also recognized the guy was a con artist. Chuck isn’t a wolf, but he’s not a sheep either. He’s more like a sheep dog.
@@AP0PT0SIS chuck would immediately call the cops on the scam artist.
@@justinguyos5476 yeah true
Did you know that you have rights? Constitution says you do!!
AND he leaves his son by himself with a stranger?
Better call Saul
Better call Child Protective Services.
It was the early 70s, people did that without a second thought believe me. Very naive and trusting.
@@jamesfrancese6091 yeah. Letting their kids hitchhike and be gone for days too from what I've heard. No wonder there were a ton of serial killers and cults that popped up
@@user-yp8gg7gw2n oh yeah sending kids (like 10 yrs old) to the store to buy milk and cigarettes. My grandma literally almost got me kidnapped by a child predator with her overly trusting “70s” style supervision. The police were involved and everything (this was in the early 2000s)
Not our precious Jimmy!
Chuck saw Jimmy the way he wanted Jimmy to be, not how he was. He wasn't there with his father to see the complete picture and know the truth.
One of the most important scenes in the show. So much is left to interpretation. Was Chuck right when he said Jimmy stole a lot of money, or did Jimmy feel guilty after this one time and never touch it again? Or was it both Jimmy and the scammers that killed their father?
I do think that the majority if not all of the missing cash was taken by Jimmy. Let me explain, remember, Chuck confronted their father about the missing cash and his theory that Jimmy was taking it. If the missing money was due to their father giving it away, then he would’ve just said so. Jimmy and Chuck’s father knew that there was a load of cash missing and that Chuck was blaming Jimmy for it, so if the missing load of cash really was due to him, he wouldn’t stay silent and let his two kids hate each other for something he did. Their father was honest to a fault. The fact that their father never took the blame suggests that the missing load of money really wasn’t due to him giving it away.
@Howard-Hamlin-from-HHM But also, we only heard that story from Chuck's perspective when he was trying to convince Kim to stay away from Jimmy. He only said that he accused Jimmy of stealing and their father wouldn't hear it. I don't think Chuck knew about the handouts, so he assumed the only person who could have taken the money was Jimmy. In that case, their dad would have defended Jimmy, but he also might not have disclosed to Chuck about the handouts. I think there's evidence to prove it WAS Jimmy, and just as much that it wasn't. Personally, I think Jimmy took some, but not nearly all of it.
I have a lot of respect for your law firm by the way, Mr. Hamlin, please don't ever hire a PI without performing a thorough background check.
There's a flashback where jimmy and Marco are inside the abandoned store to pick the coins to scan people in the pub. Jimmy tells a story of a guy who handed a rare coin that was worth more than its face value and jimmy's father proceeded to go outside to reach the guy and return the coin to him. He says his dad didn't have it in him, he wasn't a good enterpreneur. Although i believe jimmy would ocasionally grab money from the till, i don't think he would grab great amounts. His dad was very soft and naive, and would let the cons walk all over him, which i believe was the reason of his bankruptcy.
@@Howard-Hamlin-from-HHM Counterpoint: Dad didn't see it as giving it away, so he didn't say so. He probably also did not keep track of "just how much" had gone unaccounted-for over the course of 10 years. So why would dad say "no Chuck, actually, I gave it all away"? He would not. He would just be shocked the the number is that high.
I would guess Jimmy was about half, and con artists the other half. Jimmy did say every conman in the city knew that his dad was an easy mark. It would be difficult for Jimmy to match that level of fraud.
The difference was back then Jimmy felt bad about it.
@@stephanbaehr6566 Yeah, but Chuck repeatedly confronted their mom and dad about his theory that Jimmy was stealing the money. I can’t imagine that the fact their dad was giving away possibly thousands of dollars wouldn’t have been brought up at all, if only to absolve Jimmy if anything. We’re told that their mom and dad repeatedly excused Jimmy’s actions even if it’s illogical of them to do so, so I don’t understand why they would just ignore the one time there was something that logically DID excused Jimmy’s actions.
If Chuck Senior really did give away 7k dollars over the course of less than a decade, I’m sure it would’ve been routine enough to for him to remember it.
“Dad. 14,000 dollars is missing. I think Jimmy has stolen all of it.”
“Hmmm. I should probably mention the fact that for every single week for the past few years, I’ve consistently and repeatedly given away massive amounts of free crap to strangers. Actually, nah.”
Chuck is full of it. Their dad gave most of the money away. Jimmy stole a little here and there but it wasn't his fault.

@@Howard-Hamlin-from-HHM Stop copy-pasting your own comments, it's really narcissistic and annoying.
@BenBeJaming-pn5fr Hey, thanks. I really appreciate that. I hope you have a good day, because this is really quite nice of you.
@@devanov3103he just wants to open up discussions, and he’s certainly not going to rewrite his comment every single time. No point nor time for that. Don’t see anything wrong with what he did, stop being petty
The father was weak to the point Jimmy couldn't even respect him. Especially after the wolf and sheep comment. Was he going to be an idiot like his father or something else? This was only a small piece in the life of Jimmy/Saul transformation.
meanwhile walt is probably doing homework lol
Probably fresh off from watching his father die of sickness. Im very sure that image wont have psychological repercutions in the future
Walt would be in high school
I thought Walt and Jimmy were the same age.
@@Couldthinkofabettername Walt comes across as being 5 or 10 years older than Jimmy.
@@AP0PT0SIS according to the wiki, jimmy was born in 1960. Walt having turned 50 in 2008 would make him born in 1958.
Pretty sad seeing lil jimmy watching people scamming his dad and even trying to tell his old man to have a back bone but he didn't listen...
In case anyone wants to know, $5 in the 1975 (no idea if this is the year, just picked the middle of the decade) is worth $30 today. So at the end he gave the guy $60 pretty much
@@amorojaz27 thanks
Pretty fitting the guy returned the $5 that he originally asked for. Ain’t his fault Jimmy’s dad gave him $10.

My name is Wolfgang and I am a wolf and not a sheep.
only in ohio!! 😆🤫🤗😵💫🥸
And what do Wolfgang bangs @wolfgangbang?
bro said his name is Wolfgang and that he is a wolf and not a sheep💀
Was he in a gang?
Gang of wolves. What a chad German name xD
Chuck blames Jimmy for all the bookkeeping discrepancies he found, but I’m pretty sure most of it was just their father getting taken advantage of.
😂 Imagine Jimmy holding that stare down until his dad came back to see the $4 on the counter.
I remember first watching the series and just having a black screen for this scene. Thought it was directed that way because it worked so well.
Moments like this is more bound to believe that it’s their fathers own fault for losing the store. And him being too much of a pushover he was neither a good businessman or parent.
The huge butterfly on all the Breaking Bad universe
The shelves were stocked with “Conn’s Potato chips” I highly doubt that was unintentional.
Chuck blames the fate of their father on Jimmy stealing from him, Jimmy blames it on their father's naivety. Like most of their disputes, the truth is somewhere in the middle
$5 was like 50 back then
One of my parents is just like the dad and It's embarrassing to see her get conned by people.
Protect him
How often does she get conned for it to be a regular problem?
How it all began
leaving him alone and guarding cash with a stranger is more negligent and sinister than depicted
They’re in earshot.
@@voli6570 somehow that's not as reassuring as it could be
gas station clerks hear so many stories
steven gerrard in bcs
The moment Jimmy becomes a criminal
Imagine this dude finds out the chain of events that all originated from his conversation with a child in a gas station. Domino effect goes crazy.
The part I love about this scene is the end. After Jimmy puts the money in his pocket he looks upset. Angry. Disappointed. He realizes his Dad’s a sheep. So he needs to be a wolf.
Never realized Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders playing in this scene.
imagine taking your morals from a guy who you know is a con artist?
And instead take morals from his sheep of a father ?
@@guilhermehank4938 i mean true i’ll admit it is a good backstory for his character
I definitely think there are both wolves and sheep in this world, but there are also shepherd dogs. My take is this: you should try to do what's right when you can, but be smart about it and also know that people will try to play you. You'll be wronged at some point by a "wolf". You just have to know and accept that it's going to happen and you probably won't even be aware of it until later, if at all. But don't let it happen. Don't be a wolf, but don't be a sheep either. Be a shepherd dog.
This is where Saul became the spark plugs
Jimmy’s dad doesn’t want to talk about it
Check out the Conn's chips on the rack @ 3:24
You want compromise? I’ll give you compromise.
I miss this fantastic show. I liked it much better than Breaking Bad in most ways
”The law is sacred! If you abuse that power people get hurt”.
Little moments like this add to the burden that Jimmy feels there at the very end; all the things he did that he got away with. Just like what he did to Chuck. So when things progress as they do in the end, no spoilers, there's a lifetime of crimes for which he still feels his punishment is due.
If you think about your own life....really small things....they can have dramatic effects. People underestimate these things or deny them completely.
@@jryan9547
Jimmy certainly had some time to reflect on all those things he'd done.
"That thing with your brother, that wasn't even a crime."
"Yeah, it was."
That part chokes me up every time.
Lets be honest, the guy deserved to get ripped off both by the scammer as well as Jimmy. You just cant run a business and trust people like that.
His dad looks just like him post vacuum store
Stealing them blind! 😩👌
Slippin!!!
It's Jimmy from The Lone Gunmen
I miss when America actually was a high trust society. If someone needed help you helped them. Nowadays you would prob get arrested for trying to help someone who is broke down along the interstate.
Hey UA-cam please stop suggesting these clips on my feed I simply can't rewatch the entire series a third time I have other shows I need to get to
Jimmy’s father is the type of guy that can help Anton Chigurh’s car before getting killed by Anton.
There are also Sheep dogs that can protect sheep from wolves. There's always other options
Thats Hank Schrader
Jimmys Indiana Jones moment
He should taken his leather jacket for collateral
Good on Jimmy. His dad probably would have given those four bucks for the next grifter.
Where's the punisher when u needed him...

Yes
Sniffin Jiffy
a whole carton of cigs for $4 that is insane
It was 1973, when the dollar was worth a lot more. I bought packs in 1988 for $1.25.
People miss a very subtle detail here: Jimmy stealing from the till is entirely Chuck’s fault. And by “Chuck,” I mean Walt. It’s on Walt.
Walt was in Middle school when this happened
@@bengonto1250 irrelevant. It’s on Walt.
It was heisenberg...somehow
In looking at what turns Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman, is it:
1)His Father
2)The Thief
3)His Brother Chuck
4)Kim Wexler
5)Himself
All of the above
His father not believing him. It made him think that ignorant people deserve to be ripped off because they are complacent.
What’s that idea that it’s your duty to take a fools money.
You're god damn right
Did Jimmy overcharge him?
Stopped being kind ages ago. It's sad how people take advantage of it nowadays.
“Nowadays” Nothing has changed about human nature
I wonder where this scam artist was during Saul's trial? 🤔
He was the old man who Saul outsmarted in the court room.
Dude's probably 6 feet in the ground.
The man’s girlfriend is Giselle SaintClair and she’s waiting out in the car
I do think that the majority if not all of the missing cash was taken by Jimmy. Let me explain, remember, Chuck confronted their father about the missing cash and his theory that Jimmy was taking it. If the missing money was due to their father giving it away, then he would’ve just said so.

Their father was honest to a fault. The fact that their father never took the blame suggests that the missing load of money really wasn’t due to him giving it away.
maybe their father felt he had an image to upkeep, maybe he was in denial of just how bad things really were and he didn't want to let his son Chuck in on it, like he was so hellbent on convincing himself and others that everything was fine, he ended up not giving Chuck a single clue as to how HE had something to do with it with everything else's pointing in Jimmy's direction. Like Chuck seen 'Slippin Jimmy' firsthand and the wonderful person his father would make himself out to be also with his own eyes, but his father, the individual he was named after a pathetic loser falling for every scam in the book? It's like he felt that believing Jimmy to be the one and only bad one was easier for him even if it meant having logic take a back seat. And with Chuck already jealousy of how Jimmy had a way with winning people over amidst his flaws to a point that maybe he could get away with them, not to mention getting away with things that Chuck wasn't able to leaving Chuck to have to abide by the rules a lot more always getting less leeway whenever he broke them.
Kinda like how you get jealous of that physically attractive motherf#*ker getting away with doing something awful that you know that you would never hear the end of about if you were the one doing it.
Bro your theory is dogggy doo, and certainly not worth copy and pasting like you just invented the printing press, slow your role martin luther.
So that guy conning Jimmy's Dad is the main cause of Breaking Bad. It's all his fault.
Hi
Edit: Thanks for the 100k likes guys
Jimmy never considered that there are other types of people too, not just wolves and sheep.
maybe...but deep down inside.............thats what people are. lol
How much was $5 back then?
I just googled how much was $10 worth in 1975 since Jimmy's dad gave him a 10 and not a 5 dollar bill. I'm not sure what year this was supposed to be, just know it was in the 70's. According to google it was about $56 in today's market
This seems really unrealistic to me lol
🐻 ⬇️
I’m watching better call Saul rn but because I just finished breaking bad I’ll say
Top 3 scenes
3. Mikes death/ the ending of “say my name”
2. HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS -Jesse pinkman
1. The ending ofc (series finale)
Jimmy was a terrible person
So everything that happens in this show is because Jimmy had some BS life lesson taught to him by this guy?
Not exactly. Yes jimmy was a huge character in breaking bad, but I’m pretty sure Gus fring would’ve been a kingpin anyway, and Walt would’ve started cooking. Sure they wouldn’t of been connected but some things would still play out
Jimmys father would have been a great Biden voter, am i right men?
Exactly! And the conman is your great Trump voter.
The scammer that comes in is the grandpa of the background actor at 4:19 in the plaza scene of breaking bad through marriage
This is the exact moment in the breaking bad universe where random con-man became random con-man with 10 more dollars
