Better Call Saul

Hey, baby.

- You ready? - Where were you?

- What? - Where were you?

I'm sorry, hon. I got held up down at the Clover.

Guess I kind of lost track of time.

You were drinking?

Kimmy. It was one beer.

- Doesn't smell like one beer. - Well, that's what it was.

So let's go. Get in.

Kim, I'm not doing this. Come on. It's cold out.

Let's go get some food, go home.

Split a box of McNuggets, see what's on TV.

I'm just gonna walk.

Really? You're gonna walk three miles with a cello.

Don't be stupid. Get in.

I'll let you choose the radio station. Come on.

Kim, get in the car right now.

I said it was one beer. You're gonna be like this?

You don't believe me?

Kim, get in, or I'm driving home.

Right now, in the car.

I mean it. I'm going.

Fine. Don't listen to me.

You never listen!

Freedom.

Freedom to ride.

Freedom to explore.

Freedom to bank...

the way you want to.

Hi, I'm Don Wachtell, president of Mesa Verde.

For the past 10 years, our family has taken pride

in helping your family grow your savings out here in the Southwest,

with freedom from hidden fees,

and freedom to choose the account that's right for you.

- Ain't that right, Kevin? - That's right, Dad.

Yup!

Let our family help find your freedom at Mesa Verde.

So can you do it?

The media lab has a Vision Mixer. I think we can get the effect you're going for.

And with makeup and costumes, we can make it look like the same time period.

That's great.

I love it.

It's gonna sing.

I'm sensing that Schleprock here is gonna puke on my parade.

You want it when?

As soon as possible. Tomorrow would be optimal.

Let me break it down for you, chief.

You got 10 spots. I count 12, 13 locations.

And then there's post, graphics, this video-effects thing you're talking.

That's a week, maybe more.

Probably more. We have midterms.

And plus, we have to lug all our stuff around. And actors, craft service...

You scout these locations? I got a place to plug in?

And bathrooms. People need bathrooms. They literally...

Just...

There's gotta be a way, right? Because we're smart.

So we can figure out a way, right?

- Cut the number of spots. - No.

It's... Shock and awe is what I'm going for here. Anything less, no.

What if you use voiceovers instead of actors?

Or if we did in all in one location.

So no actors, no scope, no impact. No. Just...

I just feel like if we just get out there and this...

We hustle. We can do it. We can.

Dude, can't be done.

- We can... - Dude, we can't.

I don't know. What if we did the Superman thing?

A what?

You know, like Superman. Like...

Well, like a weatherman. Blue screen, I think.

Do you mean a green screen?

Whatever. Blue, green, just...

Can we do that?

You got a green screen?

Looking good, gentlemen.

- Red leather, yellow leather. - What?

- Red leather, yellow leather. - Very nice.

Mah. Mah.

Mom makes meat.

- Mom makes meat. - Red leather, yellow leather.

Red leather, red... Yellow. Yellow leather.

We're ready ready.

Ahem. Everyone, a lot to do, no time to do it.

- Who knows their lines? - Yes, I believe I have it.

I love a man of confidence.

I played Prospero on the plaza a month after prostate surgery.

- One has to have confidence. - Wonderful. God bless.

Now bring that confidence right over here to this mark on the floor.

That's your spot. Do not move from it. Okay?

But also, don't be rigid, okay? Try to be natural.

And speak to me.

You know, conversational, everyday, like a friend. But... Ahem.

There's fear here, there's emotion.

You're searching for a hero, you know?

Will no one save you?

But don't hit it too hard. Just throw it away, but with feeling.

Okay? Good. How we doing?

- Let's shoot this mother. - All right.

Ahem. There's cue cards if you need them.

But don't look at them, look at me, okay?

But you know, they're there. So roll sound.

Rolling.

- Camera? - Speed.

And action.

This is great. Stand right there. You look great.

Eyes open.

Yeah, good. Good. Can I drop your jaw? Sideways, a little?

- Perfect. That's it. Press record. - I can't...

- And five, four, three, two, magic. - Magic.

- Delicious. - Can't have pizza while we do the thing.

We're trying to shoot the commercial, that's why. I'll keep it here.

Look up this way. Right? And then stay right like that.

All right. Show it to me. Boom.

You're a cool guy, okay? But not too cool. I need you to be relatable.

Give me that "Fonz." All right. Good.

Put it down. Nobody's buying it.

Okay. The cane, I think, is a little too much. Can I have it?

And five, four, three, two, magic.

- What? - Leave it. Let go. Just really... Okay?

You look very, very officious, okay?

All right. Can you smile warmly? No?

I'm trying to direct.

- Good. Get out of the way. Out of the way. - Okay.

And acting.

Cool. All right. Do that. Ready? Yeah.

Yeah, like this.

Too much... Put your hand right... Yeah, yeah.

Stand on the X. This is great.

Smile.

Turn sideways. Take your coke out of her hand.

And now, look sad. Glum.

And then when I say, "action," you look here. No, faster.

Make it a whip. Whip your head. Up here and then go. Action.

Look back. Okay. Anyone else?

So that they don't reflect, okay? That looks normal. Look right in.

Look at me. Point.

No. Like this.

More. More.

Good. Make it look real.

And cut.

Beautiful.

I'm Saul Goodman. If you...

Just hold on. Hold on.

You came. I'm sorry, you missed most of it. I'm almost through my part.

Now, you coming in? Because, hey, we still got a slice or two of pizza left.

No. I ate at the office. I'm good.

Are you sure? Because it's cold pizza fondled by community theater actors.

You're gonna pass on that?

Yeah, I think I will pass. I just wanted to talk.

Talk? Yeah, sure.

Of course. Five.

Good news. I tracked down Olivia Bitsui. She is 92 years young.

She's part of the Navajo Nation. She lives out by Window Rock.

I'm gonna call her first thing in the morning. Hopefully have a face-to-face.

- Jimmy... - I'm gonna bring a floral arrangement,

or maybe a cake assortment from Brother's Bakery?

- Good idea... - Jimmy. Do you think...?

Will Acker settle for 75,000?

- Seventy-five? - Yeah. Will he go for it?

Are you saying that Kevin is willing to go up to 75 on this?

I...

Look, we'll negotiate as far up as we can, and then I'll make up the difference.

Okay, hold on.

You'll make up the difference, as in,

out-of-your-own-pocket make up the difference?

I... Yes.

I just need to end this now and move on.

But why? No. Hey, we have him.

Rich is suspicious.

He said some things.

He's second-guessing how you got to be Acker's lawyer

and questioning my intentions.

Enough to want me off the case.

We move forward with this, Rich figures out what's happening.

Here's the truth. Rich knows nothing.

- Well, not yet. No. - Not ever.

He has nothing. There is no way to prove anything.

You may be right.

But it's just not worth it.

But what about the play here?

The play is beautiful.

God, this is like watching a walk-off home run just drift foul.

It's your play. If you wanna walk, we'll walk.

So I gotta break it to the kids.

Well, there's a lot to clean up before Mrs. Nguyen can open in the morning, so...

- I'll help. - No. You've been all day at work.

Jimmy, you're out here doing all this because of me. I'm helping.

Yeah.

All right. Just don't touch the camera. He claims it's an extension of his body.

Noted.

You're Michael?

The gringo Lalo had a bug up his ass about?

If Hector or the cousins ever find out about...

They're not gonna find out.

Get on with it.

Lalo's using his C.I. connection.

He's having Domingo call the DEA to rat out your dealers.

Times they're slinging, locations.

Your guys are gonna get swept up.

Promote low-level dealers.
