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."

/ breakingbad
From my point of view, Chuck was the most important character in Jimmy's journey. It was great to see him again in the finale
What about this path? The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
Either Chuck or Kim. Jimmy's parents failed him, Chuck was too jealous, and Kim only started dating Jimmy because she enjoyed the con. Everyone he cared about negated him tragically because of his charms, which made him a perfect fit as a con man.
It’s easily Kim
Kim. Then Chuck. Then Mike or Howard.
@@Hysteria98 Kim didn't date him "just" for the cons.
This scene proved that, deep down, he truly loved Jimmy
He really did. They just could never see eye to eye. So sad
the moment Jimmy regrets ... the moment where he should have been thinking about changing the path ...but he choose to live in denial !
I KNEW IT. I knew that focusing in on the Time Machine book in the first-ish episodes for like 4 seconds would become relevant eventually. Ive waited 6 seasons for this
I like that they included this because it shows us the two brothers on opposite ends of the spectrum just like always, but this time it’s Chuck being optimistic about Jimmy. It’s not too late to change your ways
It can be a bad choice road - but the path doesn't have to be straightgoing. Like Chuck said, there's no shame in going back.
"If you don't like where you're heading, there's no shame in changing your path."
Good advice for anybody.
I feel like this isn't accurate. There is A LOT OF shame in changing one's path, especially if one changes late in life. That's why the pertinent thing to consider is if it's still the right choice despite the shame.
@@evangelostse2477 But then the counterargument is becoming like Mike Ehrmentraut and sticking to a Bad Choice road out of misaligned pride. This is what resulted in Mike’s downfall, as well as Saul’s, and even Walter’s in Breaking Bad. The only reason Jimmy got a somewhat positive ending was because he admitted to his wrongdoings and refused to hide behind a chintzy lawyer persona. He still changed his path despite how “late” it was for him, and sure it resulted in a longer prison sentence, but he was at peace now. And furthermore, his admission was the decision that made Kim Wexler see Jimmy wasn’t beyond redemption.
So yeah, no-one said it would be easy to do, but it is possible. Often, the hardest thing you can do in life is the best thing you can do.
Nah he was being hypocritical. Chuck is definition of how a road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Instead of referring him to another law firm, he makes him do the cynical pro bono cases and then tells him, gtfo if u dont like this instead of actually helping. Glad Saul didnt give up.
Read this as he said it lol
@TrashcanTroubadour woooooo 10/10 speech there mateee 🎉🎉🎉🎉
When you think about it, the events of the entire Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad universe wouldn’t exist if these two brothers learned to be open with each other.
not really
@@fankantheworst Walter wouldn't have made it nearly as far as he did if he didn't have the help of Saul Goodman. If Jimmy and Chuck's relationship had been better, there would have been no Saul Goodman.
Walt likely gets caught sooner or with a bullet in his head as Mike says. But I see your point of the relationship between the brothers impacting the world as a whole.
Tragic, but at least it makes damn good television.
@@fankantheworst Jimmy becoming a legit lawyer means Mike wouldn’t have hired him and he wouldn’t have met Nacho and more importantly Hector and Gus. Nacho’s plan to poison Hector would have failed so Gus would have no spy and Lalo would have succeeded. No Gus means the Cartel reigns supreme. Walt and Jesse would be killed or captured easily. Chuck, Jimmy, Kim and Howard all would be working together.
Chuck was such a well written character, I'm glad the last we see of him isn't when he burns the house down.
Complex and tragic too. he had the same flaw Jimmy had and he knew it.
@The one who knocks wasn’t that flashback in an episode before he died?
the flashback was on season 4, he died on season 3
@The one who knocks The winner takes it ALL
@@skrabfrab1161 The loser standing small.
I love that Chuck walked away with the oil lantern, seemingly and literally into the darkness. So fitting.
Also, the lantern moves along with the transport bus when it fades away
@@ketomine. that fade away just as good as the scene with grave fade into gene’s bed
@@zavidlan6166 exactly, both gave me chills
BRAVO VINCE!
I mean a latern or any source of light is needed when walking in darkness. I'm not sure it's that deep
It's interesting how Chuck's words here echo an earlier scene with Mike. Mike said that the choices you make will "put you on a road", and that you simply have to accept things as they are and go with the flow. Chuck is saying the opposite, he says that there's no shame in changing your path. Mike was an absolute fatalist, a man who followed orders no matter how terrible because he thought anything else would be shameful, but Chuck's philosophy tells us that Mike was wrong. Admitting your mistakes and working to fix them is the right thing to do, you can't just keep barreling down that Bad Choice Road out of pride.
Or you'll end up like Saul.
Chuck is just trying to get Jimmy to quit the law here, again.
@@TaysanGalovu I don’t think this is one of those talks it seems like he is genuinely trying to reach out
Ugh reading this breaks my heart even more! I loved Chuck's character
I would disagree with the last point. I think that in the end Jimmy/Saul did exactly that, admitting his mistakes. He could have taken the 7 years but he chose to confess instead and make amends for his crimes. He lost his freedom but he regained his soul.
Too bad Chuck couldn't take that same advice
Near the end, Jimmy tells Chuck that he might bring the Financial Times the next day, and in the very first episode Uno, Jimmy gets Chuck the Financial Times, this probably means that this scene takes place right before the start of the series
And this night of regret lead to the whole universe of better call Saul and breaking bad.
The Financial Times is the best no nonsense paper one can buy.
Yeah, and it was the day of the pilot episode when he started reverting to his old Slippin' Jimmy ways after being clean for ten years by that point, which led to his getting entangled with cartel members.
Oh yeah.
Lol jimmy has been bringing newspapers every day, its not like financial times is not a daily newspaper lmao.
Mike: Wanted to change his past so he can never be dirty.
Walt: Wanted to change his past so he can be rich and successful.
Jimmy: Wanted to change his past so he can mend his broken relationship with his brother.
I know I'm a bit late, but I think that Walt may have lied about his regret like Saul did because when he was asked about regrets, Walt looked at the watch Jesse gave him for his birthday before answering, implying Walt's actual regret was Jesse
@@larsbox4713agreed
@@larsbox4713 Walt just wasn’t ready to admit that he cares about Jesse and regrets what he did to him
@@coleeckerman1390 In fact, at the time of that scene.
Walter believes that Jesse was tortured and killed by Jack after he ordered him to do so.
He did not learn of Jesse's survival until the last episode of the series.
So it has a lot more weight what he did to Jesse.
@@coleeckerman1390 He does admit that he cares about jesse to himself, just not to others.
Best example of 'Show not tell'. We know exactly where Jimmy would have gone to in the time machine.
Where?
@@morrisseykkillers To this moment
@@bl5533 how comes, so that he would have stopped being a lawyer
@@themadakh3229 I don't think he would have stopped being a lawyer, but maybe, if Chuck could've guided him towards a better professional path starting from this moment, he would have become James McGill, and not Albuquerque Con-Man
And not only changing his path at law, but changing the whole relation with his brother. So I agree he would have returned to that moment.
"That's not what I had in mind"
With his voice cracking a little really tells me that Chuck actually just wanted to have a normal heart to heart conversation with his brother this time around.
The work stuff was obviously just an excuse cause it's the only language Chuck knows how to speak. 😔
So yeah, this was for sure Jimmys time machine-moment . Actually crying re-watching this😢😢😢
oh god kenny.... now i'm crying too 😭
This scene shows both brothers' fault, Jimmy was too reckless to listen to advice and Chuck was too prideful to level down with Jimmy and tell him what he actually wanted to tell. Both of them were stubborn.
@@deuce5546 yeah, they're unable to communicate their feelings.
The last episode had many moments that was heartbreaking
Honestly this might be my favorite scene I'm the entire series. They were both trying here and it still fell short.
I feel like it’s easy to see Chuck as always working against his brother and never supporting him, but here it seems like he’s genuinely trying to reach out to him. Chuck never believed Jimmy could change because in moments like these Jimmy does the same thing, and they always end up having “the same conversation.”
Had Jimmy stayed that night and had a heart to heart with Chuck, perhaps Chuck would have learnt that Jimmy is genuinely changing and that people can in fact change.
That's the sense I got from this scene. Chuck was testing Jimmy while trying to instill passion for the law in him. Like Howard, Jimmy could have learned a lot working with Chuck, but Jimmy treated his cases and clients as an inconvenience, a lost cause. It's only after this that Chuck suggests that Jimmy rethink his path. Jimmy went into law for the wrong reasons. It's hard to blame Chuck for stonewalling Jimmy from getting hired at HHM, and was further vindicated when Jimmy squandered his opportunity and Davis and Main.
"Does the same thing" you mean goes to work? While Chuck is essentially telling him, "if you don't like being a lawyer, you can always quit", pretending to be looking out for Jimmy's interests, after he'd already gotten him rejected at HHM hiding behind Howard's back?
Chuck isn’t exactly trying to get Jimmy to change by having a heart-to-heart. It’s more of a chance to reach out to him to see if Jimmy has actually changed. With what Chuck says at the end about changing one’s path, it’s more of a piece of advice rather than a direct order. It’s true that no one can force anyone to change, and all of Jimmy’s positive changes are a result of his personal initiative, but Chuck here isn’t trying to do that.
Jimmy ultimately “does the same thing”, as in declines Chuck’s chance to talk and have a deeper conversation, thus reinforcing Chuck’s belief that Jimmy won’t change. Going back to what Chuck says about changing one’s path, I don’t think he’s telling Jimmy to simply quit lawyering, but is telling him to, as a previous commenter said, rethink his decision to become one because of his potentially shaky reasoning for becoming one. I also think Chuck is telling Jimmy to quit to his Slippin’ Jimmy ways, and by the end of the episode that’s what Jimmy ends up doing.
(Edit: grammar)
@@TaysanGalovu chuck, like jimmy, is deeply flawed, but his apprehensions about jimmy becoming a lawyer aren't completely misguided. until then, jimmy had shown little reason for chuck to believe that he had actually changed - the only reason he got a job in the mailroom was because chuck bailed him out of jail. obviously, there's some more personal issues at play - chuck's jealousy of jimmy's natural charisma and how he is well-liked by literally everyone around him, but this jealousy is worsened by the fact that he knows "slippin' jimmy" while everyone else just knows "jimmy."
while we see jimmy putting himself through law school as a major achievement and a step towards redemption, chuck sees this as him taking yet another shortcut, like he's done many times before. so his attempts to bar jimmy from joining HHM were, in his own flawed logic, a way to keep "slippin' jimmy" away from the law and thereby preventing him from hurting other people as he's done in the past.
in this scene, i don't think chuck is trying to manipulate jimmy into quitting being a lawyer - i think he's genuinely trying to connect with him and see where his head's at while also giving in to his preconceived notions that jimmy may not be suited for this profession. but the takeaway from this is that no matter what chuck's intentions were when he said that, jimmy chose not to have that conversation. maybe if he stayed to talk to him, chuck would've seen him in a different light - possibly even consider putting in a word to howard to hire him. and jimmy wouldn't have had to resort to the billboard scam that set all of the events of BB and BCS in motion.
This scene had more cheers than Walt's cameo.
Which says a lot about Better Call Saul’s writing to be its own show.
yes because before s6 e11 most viewer just wanted Walt and Jesse Cameo.
But after that appearance they relized many things are more important than this cameo
they realised that you just need to listen to chuck and have some more chicken, have some more pie, it doesnt matter if it's boiled or fried@@sobhan79
I think the most tragic thing about this show is that we all know where Jimmy ends up. since he never mentioned Kim in breaking bad, it was likely she would either leave, or take a trip to Belize. However, even with that in mind, the show still set up such a valuable and amazing relationship between Jimmy and Kim. One that made it so much more heartbreaking to see fall apart.
What about this path? The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
She was never mentioned because the character was never even created yet.
@@asahel980 Yeah~ But since Lalo and Nacho was mentioned it was easy to assume that for some reason she never made it to break in bad
@@asahel980 You're just like Walter when he couldn't fathom someone asked him a metaphorical question about a time travel and began talking about how it's scientifically impossible.
Jimmy should be fine since the other prisoners like Saul
The fact that Ernesto had to be reminded to bring the Fuji apples when Jimmy knew he had to bring them for Chuck. Really shows how good of a brother he was.
Chuck's biggest regret.
I was pleasantly surprised by Chuck's appearance. Saul finally chose to return to Jimmy, not only to be himself, but also to protect Kim.
Perfect storyline!!
What about this path? The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
He didn't do anything to help Kim out, how is everyone getting this part wrong
@@artrosemaloca4663 I know right. I think some people want to make a perfect ending even more perfect. There’s literally no way he could have stopped Kim from being sued, he only wanted redemption from her and that’s why he baited her into the courtroom. She likely still will be sued, and despite her confession and coming to terms with it, she still does deserve it. That’s why it’s the perfect ending for me, they both got what was coming to them but they made peace with themselves and each other.
@@VeganSemihCyprus33 No
Kim is still liable; and she deserves it. She shouldn’t have been saved. If Jimmy goes down so does she.
I’m so happy Michael McKean made one last appearance in this show, his performance of Chuck is incredibly electrifying and it’s a damn shame he didn’t win an Emmy.
lmao electrifying
@@sonofab30 so is his house
Hehe.
"electrifying"
You know how they say comedy actors kill it when performing a serious character
@@moimoimoiiiiiii32221 yup, it’s crazy to think that Michael McKean played both David from Spinal Tap and Chuck McGill, two completely different roles and he excels in both performances.
“We always end up having the same conversation, don’t we?”
While this line is clearly pointing out the cyclical nature of Chuck and Jimmys relationship, I like to think that this is also a conversation that echoes in Jimmys mind every night. It almost seems like Chucks ghost coming back in Jimmys nightmares, fueled by the regret of letting this moment slip between their fingers.
Amazing
This is how it made me feel. Like Jimmy is forced to repeat some form of hell where he’s unable to use the last chance he’s granted to mend his relationship with Chuck
😢
it looks like it because it probably ain’t a real memory
jimmy is wearing his pinky ring which he gets after the relation with chuck is already destroyed
Was great to see Chuck one last time.
Yeah his death was horrible especially because they never even had the chance to make up and apologized to each other this definitely helped show they loved each other deep down as brothers
@@christiansantamaria7233 they did have that chance. Jimmy came to him and apologized, and rather than apologize himself, chuck told him he never cared about him, then killed himself
Why? he was a complete a$$hole to Jimmy all his life. He held back the show before he died
@@v1per187Most media literate BrBa/BCS fan:
@@v1per187 HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA
2:47 so ironic - "when have you ever changed your [chuck's] past?" Chuck was doing it right there. To actually show some love and affection after realising how much Jimmy cared that Jimmy did this daily chore.
This is somehow super nostalgic to the first season. Jimmy’s problems seemed so tiny then compared to everything that comes after
This was Jimmy's time travel moment. Chuck handed him an olive branch here, a chance to talk through his cases and get guidance. Instead he slapped that hand down, and Chuck reverted back to chastising him. If Jimmy had only obliged, everything would have been different.
Dunno, pretty sure Chuck would have used that opportunity to backstab his brother over any lawyering mistake he would have made.
I imagine it as Chuck’s time travel moment, hence why Chucks the one reading it
@@stealthcobra1525 I love how the fans interpret the show as everyone has multiple dimensions both good and bad EXCEPT for chuck, i've never seen a fan based be so single-minded about a character, the guy literally spent the first part of his life cleaning up Jimmy's mistakes and none of yall can understand why Chuck would have serious issues trusting jimmy
I'd say Jimmy's time travel moment was compromising chucks insurance. They'd had their disagreements, but that was the moment that broke their relationship irreparably. It eventually led to chucks spiral, which jimmy tried to block out and not think about, much like his deterioration into saul when he split up with Kim.
lol @ you thinking Chuck would ever actually be nice to him.
What a hauntingly beautiful scene. Jimmy’s time machine moment, it being the night before their first scene ever… and the last time Chuck extended that olive branch. it all boils down to this one moment that Jimmy never shares with anybody and it’s only shown to the viewer after Jimmy’s lost his freedom. He will regret this for the rest of his life
1:12 Love how Chuck hesitates before saying "practice", this show's attention to detail is insane
1:19 Man you can really see how Chuck felt it when Jimmy said “Cause you’re my brother.. duh! You’d do the same for me.”
Was that due to his mental illness though? In Winner, after the karaoke, Chuck takes Jimmy home to make sure he's safe and offers to make him pancakes the next day.
He looks so ashamed
This scene is before the events of 'Better Call Saul' as Jimmy says he'll bring the 'Financial Times' for Chuck which we do get to see in the pilot episode.
I'm gonna miss this show and the whole Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul universe. Truly one of a kind. The cinematography, the varying & complex plot lines, the direction and what not. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are creative geniuses.
Cool to see it take place before the pilot.
You got that from reddit didn't you
@@---_---_---_---_---_--- Actually I got the first para from IMDB. The second one is all from the heart.
Agree
“We always end up having the same conversation, don’t we?” If only they had that heart-to-heart, one of the only times that Chuck seemed genuinely sincere to his little brother and Jimmy simply waved him off
All the destruction and death that would have been avoided if they had been able to reconcile
Chuck's face when Jimmy says "you'd do the same for me" is great because you know Chuck would just hire someone to help Jimmy, the only reason he'd go through all the effort of helping would be to show his superiority over him.
dont forget that chuck personally helped jimmy get out of jail multiple times
Chuck also was there when Jimmy was drunk and needed help getting home safely.
@@pyocopyocoultra2047 But it was because of their mom who alwayswanted to help Jimmy. Remember it was her who called Chuck to help Jimmy with his sunroof problem
Chuck never had any issues when it came to helping Jimmy, he resented him for many things but overall he still came through like bailing Jimmy out of jail and driving him home while drunk, Chuck only ever had issues when Jimmy happened to impede on his own turf as a lawyer
''Slipping Jimmy i can handle, but Slipping Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun''
The more jimmy persued being a lawyer, the more strained their relationship was eventually going to turn out, i dont think it's really that simple to just call their relationship as something binary such as ''Chuck hates Jimmy but Jimmy loves Chuck'' it's complicated like any family relationship is
@@tomekstec3243 Defecating through a sun roof with minors? He could have done a half assed job, instead of pulling a miracle.
One of the most tragic, and one of my favorite, scenes of the show. The time machine question is so perfectly wrapped up here; we know exactly what Jimmy's answer to the question is without him telling anyone. More than that, the flaws of these two are so subtly yet clearly put on display. Chuck's lack of faith and refusal to let go of his bitterness, Jimmy's stubbornness and refusal to accept help, and the sheer inability of either of them to be truly open with one another. Imagine how differently things could have gone if Jimmy decided to stay another ten minutes.
Took me forever to realize that this scene proves that Jimmy went behind everyone’s backs to go to his brothers burnt down house & take something to remember him by. The book was originally Chucks, and I went the whole season wondering what Jimmy’s connection to this book was.
Oh is this what prompted him to ask mike and walt about the time machine stuff? But when was this book shown in his possession? If it wasn't, I think it's just the director putting this clip into context, showing that this is the moment jimmy would travel back in time to change.
@@2324-v7k It’s shown in sauls post-breaking bad house at the start of season 6. Also in the middle of season 6 jimmy is seen reading it while talking to kim
Mike saw the face of Saul, only caring about money.
Walt saw the face of gene, only caring about himself.
Chuck saw the face of jimmy, caring about other people, trying and to be a better man.
“Cause you are my brother, duh. And you will do the same for me.”
And that’s Chuck’s biggest flaw. His failure to change the way he treated Jimmy made him internalized it and believed that Jimmy will not change just like him.
Fortunately, Jimmy can change even at the cost of his own freedom until the day he die.
I mean, Jimmy didn't change on his own, he had help. Chuck didn't. Not to mention, are you implying Chuck didn't save Jimmy a ton of times lol?
@@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo Chuck saved Jimmy twice but he should have more faith in Jimmy. That’s what brothers should do for each other.
What about this path? The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
@@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo Yes, Chuck saved Jimmy, but he also made sure Jimmy never succeeded, which Jimmy was desperate to do.
This made Jimmy internalize that he will never succeed unless he cheats.
@@nont18411 how can you have that much faith in someone not willing to change? He said he had the same conversation over and over. Jimmy was an adult. He could've tried to change but didn't. It's natural to Start losing faith
I’ve rewatched this scene more than the final scene. We see here that Chuck really wanted to mend the relationship between himself and Jimmy but Jimmy took it as another pitiful attempt to get him to change his behavior. Such a sad and powerful scene. Throughout the series we see Chuck try to hurt Jimmy, but not here. Chuck genuinely wants to help Jimmy but it didn’t work out. It will always just remain as what could have been.
Now let’s talk about the time machine… That aspect of this scene is so beautiful. Knowing that this is the moment Jimmy would go back to, he really did regret everything that happened between him and Chuck. This scene leaves me feeling empty inside. This is the scene that really breaks my heart. The relationship between these two characters is written very well so well. Both actors also really seal the deal. I don’t know what else to say, I love this show for everything that it is ❤️.
This might honestly be my favorite scene of the show, just the build up and context of it altogether is incredible
@@lowdownpapaya7292I agree. I love it for everything that it is
The fact that this scene takes place the day before the first episode of BCS, this being Jimmy's time-travel moment/biggest regret, gives the feeling that _all_ his actions in _both_ shows are what he would change.
This show should be renamed as "Breaking Good" it is a masterpiece, and my time machine moment would be going back to November 11,2017 the day I watched the first breaking bad episode, what a Journey!what would be yours?
Fixing Good
Fixing well
Nop.
Time machine??!! That would violate the second law of thermodynamics!
Not letting my girlfriend move back with her parents. She might still have been alive.
We all thought that the story was about not changing, of a man who couldn't change until the last moment...
And then it was the greatest story of redemption ever! And thanks to Chuck's words - Jimmy learned in the end to love people as they are not as you wish they were. Epic show.
When i saw this scene i cried a lot, never happened before to me for a TV series. It reminds me of my brother, and ironically his name is "Chuck" in Italian, Carlo. We never had a good relationship after childhood. He went away after getting a second girlfriend, who was the daughter of my neighbor, they moved to Sicily. The moment that hit me the most was when Chuck said "We always end up having the same conversation don't we" because that's similar to what my brother told me weeks before going away. This scene made me think so much and it hurt me.
Meh real redemption would've been less than 86 years. He lost his touch as a lawyer.
Wait.... redemption how exactly? Jimmy was caught in the end there's no real indication that he actually changed out of no where
@@ernestov1777 thanks for sharing your story
@@ThePatriarchXCI91 he could have gone with 7 years lying as usual.. but he fully confessed, saved Kim, cleaned Howard reputation and his brother's too.
"If you dont like where you are heading, there is no shame in going back and changing your path." I feel like people dont realise how genius and important that quote is. There is no shame in admitting you´ve made a mistake and going back to change it.
Jimmy sees it as a genuine advice, because he wants to believe Chuck actually cared about him at some point. But in reality, it was most likely Chuck trying to make him quit the law.
@@TaysanGalovu I don't think so! Chuck seems genuine here.
well its the fact that in the very end, Jimmy did take Chuck's advice and admitted everything. So even though he had fallen so far there was still a chance to change his path. His slightest reward is rekindling things with Kim but also unburdening all the guilt
When watching the finale, as soon as I heard Chuck's voice I burst into tears. And then the book 😭😭😭😭😭
I didn't expect this at all and its just so perfect.
im glad chuck got one last scene,
just like walter and mike
it wasnt forced and it was subtle
this was jimmys time machine moment , maybe things would have turned out different if he stayed and talked with chuck
maybe saul wouldnt have been born, chuck would still be alive, and the events that followed would have ended differently
perhaps a true Butterfly effect
i cant help but relate to this scene. As we get older and lose loved ones, its small moments like these that we look back on and regret that we didnt say/ do more to them while they were still around.
I cried a little during the finale and watching this scene. I was hoping we’d see Chuck one more time. He’d been a ghost haunting Jimmy, Saul, and Gene, even if neither wanted to admit it. A great scene that explained so much, just when we thought we’d seen it all.
Nah, we see it when Gene breaks down in the mall security center. He even mentions his dead brother
2:01
I don't know if it was intentional or no, but the way Michael McKean delivers that line is so soft and apologetic... it show us that Chuck always cared about Jimmy, even if a little
I believe Chuck here, but he realizes as he's saying it that Jimmy isn't going to
It's intentional, the actors in BCS are all incredible
Michael McKean is an acting juggernaut. What a performance, what a character, what a man.
this flashback was not just the night before “uno” but also before the whole gilliverse was truly born
how does no one mention how chuck says “that’s not what i had in mind”? the way his voice cracks when he says “mind” has so many layers. all the hurt and the pain of their brotherly arguments, along with the wish that they could just connect, once in their lives. it’s so heartbreaking.
He felt like he had that in his mind a lot, like he was guilt ridden of having envy towards his mind again and again. Since his mental illness started after he sabotaged Jimmy's application, he is feeling a lot of guilt.
Before the last episode, I was quite sure we would see Chuck somewhere, because a finale without him would have felt incomplete. Still, once the episode started, I was so immersed in every minute of it that Chuck had slipped from my mind. Until this scene began. The moment I heard the key sound, I knew whose house it was, and from that moment on, non-stop tears. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders. This scene is the pinnacle of this incredible universe, and it's so natural, so powerful and so special. I will never forget the feeling I experienced during this moment throughout my life.
Jimmie's biggest regret is the choices he made that broke his relationship with Chuck. Not this particular moment per se
This took place right before the pilot episode…I think we know where Jimmy would go if he had a time machine.
Where?
he has his ring tho
@@alyxbabineaux2412 +1
i dont think so, he has his ring on...i took this as being there last conversation but i could be wrong.
@@CopperSucks their last conversation was when Chuck told him that he never mattered that much to him. This is before the pilot episode.
If Jimmy could ask Chuck the Time Machine question and if Chuck gave an honest answer, this would be the moment he'd go back too.
Chuck is clearly guilt-ridden about the fact that his brother loves him unconditionally and that he perhaps isn't doing the same.
If Jimmy had stayed that night perhaps Chuck would have seen that Jimmy is trying to change and that people can infact change. Perhaps he would have been a mentor to Jimmy insead of being a constant thorn in his side.
Alas it was never meant to be.
Hence the time machine question. This was both Jimmy and Chuck's time machine moment of regret.
I can’t hate Chuck. He has tried so many times to make gestures of making amends with Jimmy, and try to understand him better in his own way. They were never able to connect. When they couldn’t, when even his smallest bids were rejected, Chuck understandably felt like Jimmy was incapable of change. Jimmy obviously showed Chuck how much he loved him but in his own way. Chuck did so too in his own way. And yet they both walked out feeling dejected and disconnected. This last scene of them together had me crying my eyes out.
I'm so glad we got one last scene with Chuck! We also got the one thing that I hoped most for the finale: Jimmy's being completely trouthful to Kim by confessing and taking responsibility about his brother's death. I feel like some people underestimate Chuck's role in Jimmy's evolution. He was as much as important person as Kim is to Jimmy's life.
Its crazy how open ended this leaves Chuck as a character. What would he have picked to change in his past?
-It may be Chuck wanted to change his past into encouraging Jimmy to go into Law
-Chuck wanted to change how he treated Jimmy and spend more time with him
-Or maybe Chuck couldn't find an answer. Which is why he asks jimmy his answer.
I know it is "just a tv show" but, Chuck's advice in this scene has really stuck with me.
it's not "just a tv show" it's "THE tv show"
It's nice seeing brothers helping eachother out. Imagine if one of them suddenly set themselves on fire and the other goes to prison or something like that, that would be crazy lol
The most crazy thing is that both of them got to their fate thanks their own faults and the major events set by one woman.
@@nont18411 woman moment
@@nont18411 Chuck died out of loneliness and despair, if anything it's mostly Jimmy's fault
@@xomi9722 Why only Jimmy is at fault here?
Why not also that particular character?
She told Jimmy to cover up tracks about 1216.
She helped him exploiting Chuck’s mental illness in court.
Jimmy threw away 7 years deal and chose life imprisonment in order to get HER out of trouble about Howard thing. He did it to make sure that she will never be persecuted and the only front she will face is Cheryl.
Will anyone ever call this character out for these things? I don’t think so. Because, unlike Jimmy, she was written to be too likable that it blinds the fans from who she really is.
@@xomi9722 No, it's your fault
This is officially, without any doubt in my mind, my favorite scene in the Breaking Bad universe.
2:40 breaks my heart completely.
Out of everything, I did not plan to cry when Chuck McGill appeared on screen. Excellent writing and excellent character.
I was honestly more hyped to see Chuck return for the finale than I was for the Walt cameo.
Me too. I love Chuck's character so much
Don't know about anybody else but when Chuck says
"We always have the same conversation don't we."
Part of me was in equal parts sad and creeped out. Almost as if the Ghost of Chuck Mcgill was reaching back in time to try and meaningfully reconnect with Jimmy in order to mend their relationship and to stop the ensuing madness.
But alas each attenpt he makes is futile, ends the same way and he is forced to walk back into the dark time and time again.
IMO this show was better than breaking bad. Two fantastic series with perfect endings
Knowing that Saul would've gone back to this moment to change it, makes it extremly emotional. such good writing.
2:00 The way Chuck said that makes me tear up. You can tell he was being completely genuine and yet Jimmy rebuffed him because he’s been hurt too many times in the past.
Such a perfect scene to give us one last true look at their relationship. They do truly care about one another, and love each other, but they just can't seem to bond very well. Jimmy makes assumptions about Chuck's intentions behind conversation, showing us how he views Chuck as well as how Chuck has treated him in the past. Chuck's response shows us he really did want to talk, and bond, but it's seems like Jimmy's response may have hurt his feelings, and caused him to shut down all together. We got to see how the cycle just goes on, and on. "we always end up having the same conversation don't we." A beautiful, impactful, and heartbreaking scene. I absolutely love this show
Wait a minute. I never noticed that Jimmy literally slipped and fell on his way through the door... so _that's_ what he was remembering when he was talking with Walt.
What's INSANE is that this is EXACTLY one day before Season 1 episode 1. Refer to the mention of financial Times both here and in S1 e1. That is, the time machine wants to go back where it all started
It is so damn heartwarming this scene, yet also heartbreaking. It shows that both Chuck and Jimmy would do the same thing if they had the time machine, fix their relationship. One of my favorite scenes in the show.
This scene broke me, the idea Chuck made one last effort to try and mend things together with Jimmy, and it was Jimmy’s last chance to repair their relationship.
I wish chuck and Jimmy got along more and perhaps things could have been different. Both were flawed men with ego issues.
When i saw this scene i cried a lot, never happened before to me for a TV series. It reminds me of my brother, and ironically his name is "Chuck" in Italian, Carlo. We never had a good relationship after childhood. He went away after getting a second girlfriend, who was the daughter of my neighbor, they moved to Sicily. The moment that hit me the most was when Chuck said "We always end up having the same conversation don't we" because that's similar to what my brother told me weeks before going away. This scene made me think so much and it hurt me.
This could've been the moment things changed and they just let it slip, the both of them
2:58 I think that was actually an attempt at an olive branch by Chuck - a way to defuse the conversation before he leaves. Jimmy could have gone with it and decided to stay a bit. Ultimately I think Jimmy was just immoral and didn't want to hear it. Chuck's lack of tact would be bearable to family, but Jimmy just couldn't hear anyone be honest about his ethics.
Gonna miss this TV show.
I'll probably watch this show over and over again for the rest of my life.
I love the final episode, but if I could I would've swapped the final scene with this one. I think the reveal that this was the moment Jimmy regretted most of all would have been the perfect final scene for the show.
This scene hits like a bag of bricks.
The most complex of brotherly relationships, and for that book to be on the table after walter and mike earlier in the episode was a moment of TV brilliance and beauty
Jimmy's time machine moment
This finale really gave me the same catharsis _El Camino_ did. In these flashbacks, characters, like Walt, Mike, Chuck, and Jane, that are now dead and gone, give our surviving protagonists (Jimmy and Jesse), a chance to choose their own path and finally let them move on. Call it nostalgia, but I’d say, after about fifteen years, we got perhaps the best farewell the Breaking Bad team could ever cook. I can’t wait to watch it all again.
0:58 chuck smiling at his brother is breaking me. breaking the bad in me if you will
the most important scene in both better call saul and breaking bad
It stings to see the warm colors of season 1 come back again
This was a side of Chuck I'm so glad we got to see at the end, all along Jimmy's greatest regret must've been his relationship with Chuck.
I'm glad we first met Jimmy as Saul in Breaking Bad, watching him unravel back into Jimmy was phenomenal throughout these last few episodes.
Yeah, considering Chuck sabotaged his career again and again, Jimmy regrets being helpful to chuck when he should have left him alone and focused on his own law practice on his own.
To think, a whole universe could have pended over this conversation that never occurred…
This felt relatable to me, and many other siblings who would have a heart to heart moments with their brothers, and sisters.
I noticed that Jimmy has Marco's pinky ring on in this scene. Technically a continuity error since Jimmy doesn't get that until after he learns Chuck was pushing him out of HHM and stops delivering Chuck's groceries
it was present jimmy reliving that moment , his time machine moment
从本质来说，Jimmy的内心一直渴望成为Chuck那样受人敬仰的强者。But，但是。。。
所以，Chuck才是Jimmy的精神支柱和生命标杆。
We don’t need Jimmy to ask Chuck what he would change with a time machine. We already know.
He saved him. He shouldn’t have. He took him into his own firm! What was he thinking!?
The Finale was the complete package ❤️ with glimpses of Walt, Mike and Chuck 🙌🏻
2:39 for some reason this seems like a line from a "choose your adventure" type game where you end up with the bad ending and you have to watch this cutscene before starting over
This takes place at the start of the series. Chuck is wearing the same button down shirt and Jimmy is wearing the same suit and tie they wore in the pilot
Jimmy and Chuck relationship reminds me a lot of mine with my grandfather. I lived with him and took care of him when i was a teenager, he was, like Chuck, a wise person, but he had difficulties expressing his feelings, so living with him was not always easy. I despised him the last years he was alive and sometimes i just wanted him to die. I was limited aswell since i was a teenager. Now he's not with us anymore, and seeing this scene i can't help but shedding a tear. Things could have been different if we (i) were more open hearted with each other, because deep down we loved each other. I'm sure also Chuck and Jimmy loved each other, and hopefully they'll meet again someday
2:56
This is a magical moment, the sentence is delivered with anger like pointing how Saul messed the oportunity to change anything even in the time machine.
😢
this is the exact moment Jimmy wants to go back to with a time machine
Once Jimmy rejects Chuck's offer for guidance with the lantern sitting between them, Chuck takes back the Lantern - the symbol of their relationship - into the darkness with him.....where it will also be the cause of his death.
Eerie. Beautiful. Creepy.
This felt like an actual ghost visiting Jimmy. Unaware of his own future, but aware that it's intwined with Jimmy's path.
Walt would NOT approve of Chuck's book choice.
But sure would allow children to die to keep his secrets
So this is the moment where Jimmy wanted to come back with the time machine. Amazing show.
This is one of the most emotionally effecting scenes I think in the whole show. This clip is from the last episode, everything is being tied up, we’re seeing a bunch of clips about Jimmy’s choices and his regret and guilt. Then this scene, and it’s still about all of those things, but you get the sense that Jimmy has finally confronted all the mistakes he’s been running from. I think this scene is very literal, it’s a memory plucked from Jimmy’s mind as he decides what to do after getting caught, and so Chuck walking away with the book is a visual and metaphorical representation of Jimmy confronting his biggest regret, and then it leaving when he makes the decision to leave his Bad Choice Road. This entire show is remarkably interconnected and thematically rich, and the final episode wraps everything up so beautifully it’s amazing.
"I was starting to worry"-we were too, Chuck. Seeing Jimmy finally rectify things somewhat and more importantly take ownership for his actions was a feeling of sweet relief.
This could also be viewed as a purgatory. Chuck because he deep down believed in what was right couldn't go to Hell, but his methods and other selfish motives meant he couldn't go to Heaven either. Jimmy is basically visiting him in his purgatory before he goes to his own. Jimmy's own being prison for what could very well be the rest of his life, but one where he always does the right thing from now on and is completely respected by everyone around him for the good he did before.
Yeah I also got the feeling that this wasn't an actual memory, something more akin to a re-encounter of the souls
@@egilsama I thought so to. The “We always end up having the same conversation, don’t we?” sounds like a person in a dream who gives the appearance of knowing it’s not real. Then the way he walks into the darkness
Breaks my heart because I feel like in this scene Chuck genuinely wanted to make amends with Jimmy, when he saw much Jimmy cared about him, but Jimmy pushed him away because he felt like Chuck just wanted to patronise and make fun of him for his cases.
A story of two brothers who love one another but can never see eye to eye.
