Black and Blue

Hey.

Everything okay?

Can't sleep. Figured I'd get a jump on work.

I was hoping it was just me.

He never would've been here if I had...

If I had just...

Jimmy.

The nuns back in Cicero

would send me to hell for saying it, but...

...thank God he's dead.

You want some coffee?

Sure.

To-go order?

Got your six-piece bucket right here.

Thank you. Enjoy.

Welcome. Can I take your order?

Ah. Sir, I would be happy to help you here.

Good afternoon. May I take your order?

Yeah.

I'd like a 12 piece bucket. Extra spicy.

May I suggest our signature spice curls?

Sure. Gimme a large on that.

Also, two cokes and a side of coleslaw.

Sorry, Mr. Fring.

We are currently in the middle of a process called "discovery."

What is "discovery," you might ask?

It's one of the most important parts of any case

because it's when both parties

are able to "discover," if you will,

information that is relevant to the claims at issue.

Now this brings us to another key term... "relevance."

If a document or a piece of evidence is "relevant,"

that means it has a tendency

to prove... or disprove... an element in the case.

This whole thing is just takin' so darn long.

Unfortunately, high-stakes class actions like these

often move on a protracted timeline.

Well, okay, but some of us don't have

a "protracted timeline," if you know what I mean.

Right?

My son thinks I should get my own lawyer.

You have every right to pursue

independent legal representation.

Having said that... Uh, absolutely.

It's great to see the next generation stepping up, isn't it?

Thank you, Ms. Brill.

Hi, everyone. I'm so glad to be with you today.

For those of you who don't know me yet,

I'm your lead attorney... Howard Hamlin.

Just call me Howard.

And this is my co-counsel, Cliff Main.

Listen. I know you all want to get to the finish line.

Boy, I-I sure do.

But I'm gonna level with you.

Truth is, we still have a ways to go.

Why? Because we want the maximum from Sandpiper.

We're pushing to get an extra 30% on top of the penalty.

Uh, not because we're greedy, no.

Because it's what you deserve.

Now, to get your due, it may take a little extra time.

Is it worth it?

I think it is.

Because this isn't just about money.

It's about people.

It's about you.

Sally, right?

Right. Sally.

And you, sir.

We're sending a message...

We're not gonna let big corporations

pick the pockets of hard-working folks.

I-I want to live in a world

where people can trust each other.

And I bet you do, too.

Thanks again, both of you.

Thank you for coming. Thank you.

Oh, I feel better.

Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Bye. Okay.

Bye, now. Thank you.

You take care.

Well, I think we just put out a major fire.

That was impressive.

Erin, I'll see you back at the office.

Okay. Bye, Howard.

Howard... Bye.

...I need a minute.

What's up?

I threw a woman out of my car.

In the middle of the street.

And I... Zip, I just drive right past ya...

That's what you're saying.

No, I-I don't even...

I don't know how to respond to that.

I'm not asking you to respond.

I just need you to know that I know.

It wasn't me, Cliff. Whoever you think you saw...

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that's the kinda thing my son used to say.

It was your Jaguar, your "Namaste" plate.

It was you!

Howard, there's no harm in asking for help.

You got a lot of people in your corner.

So, there's the... the baggie at the country club.

Yes. After that, some clients...

Who you can't name because of privilege... make insinuations.

Then, on Thursday, you have a business meeting,

and you witness a Jaguar speeding past.

Who were you meeting with?

I'm not sure why that's germane, but... Kim Wexler.

She came to me for career advice.

All right.

Okay.

Of course. Of course.

Cliff, I know this wasn't easy for you.

You came to me as a friend. I appreciate it.

You can start today, Howard. Oh, I will.

Because you're right. I do have a problem.

Just not the problem you think.

I have a Jimmy McGill problem.

J-Jimmy McGill? You'll have to excuse me.

Howard! Julie.

Cancel my week.

Yes. My whole week.

Whoa! Hold up!

Justice will be served in four and a half minutes.

9:00 a.m. sharp.

I look forward to sitting down with each and every one of you.

Morning rush. So, that's your station.

Temporarily, of course.

But check it out. Center stage.

What?

That? That...

It's garbagio.

On its way to the dumpster.

Ha! Ah.

I know that this place needs a little TLC.

But this is just day one.

Two weeks from now, you won't recognize it.

Where's Ms. Wexler?

Uh, you mean my wife?

That's right... made an honest woman out of her.

She's blazing her own trail, and I couldn't be prouder.

So it's just...

Me. Just me. For now.

But think of it this way...

Half the work.

What... What happened to the old folks?

Elder law?

Uh, I expanded the mission, uh, to be more inclusive.

Here at Saul Goodman and Associates,

we welcome all ages, all creeds, all stripes.

And who is this Saul Goodman?

You?

You got it!

What Colonel Sanders is to chicken,

Saul Goodman is to the law.

Why me? Because I trust you.

And what happened last time, I-I-I wanna make it up to ya.

I will explain at the end of the day.

Please. You...

You're just desperate and need a warm body.

Good luck.

Where're you going?

Back to the MVD.

I took half a personal day for this.

What if I double your salary?

My salary at the MVD or what you were paying me before?

Whatever's less.

No! Whatever's more.

"More" is the word I'm looking for.

Did I mention...

...the signing bonus?

I get a say in the decorating.

Open for business. One at a time.

Thank you. I'll be right out.

Oh, Viola. Hey. O-Over here.

Thanks for meeting me.

Of course.

Uh...

I wanted to apologize.

Leaving Schweikart...

I'm sure it looked sudden,

but sorry I left you in the lurch.

You probably had to clean up Mesa Verde,

everything that happened there.

Kevin.

Kevin.
