@@simplytom1213 what's the meaning of 'because he threw'? Sorry, english is not my native language. And why Kim was in the court? Because he wanted to confess in her presence?
@@azlanhashim9040 Yes. He lured Kim to the court, to confess his crimes at her presence. Note that Jimmy decided to confess his crimes after he knows Kim confessed all about Howard's scam and fate. He finally "buries" Saul Goodman persona and backs being Jimmy McGill once for all.
Funny thing about what Saul said about "dealer amounts" and "cops always having their thumb on the scale" So I had to get a lawyer for something. A minor infraction. The lawyer told me a story about how he had a client busted for weed, just over the "dealer amount," and what he did was delay the trial as long as possible and then motion to have the evidence re-examined. By the time they properly re-weighed the evidence, it had dried out enough that it no longer was a "dealer amount" and got the guy down to simple possession. That's a very Saul Goodman kinda move
@@dlkaran what Saul meant by the thumb and scale narrative is that cops will sneakily put their thumb down on the scale and apply pressure while weighing drugs to make it record a higher number than it actually is. So for example the guy may have only had 20 grams of meth on him, but the cop pushes the scale down harder with his thumb to record 30 grams and thus it’s a more serious charge
his conversation with Hank is actually a very clever move from the side of the director to introduce that character before this episode Hank was shown as the alpha dude with snarky lines so having Saul start off by literally roasting him and making him uncomfortable is a good way to establish him as a charismatic character
I also think the way Saul identifies Hank and Gomez as DEA is the first time we see the genius behind the persona. Saul always knows more than he lets on.
One thing I loved about Breaking Bad, is that almost EVERY side character is special and deserves a separate show on their own. It's like the whole series are a living organism
I realize reading this comment that this could be a great ending for BCS. Last episode ends just fine for them, Saul, Mike, Gus have everything going on cheering for the coming empire without knowing what is to come and a slightly visual referece to Walter White before it ends. But then its the B&W flashforward, that im really excited about

Bob Odenkirk is as big a legendary actor as Bryan Cranston, and that doesn't get mentioned enough. He's a monster and he completely made this comic relief character into one of the BEST characters on TV.. due credits to the superb writers too!
3:20 The way he didn't wait for Hank's response after the Your Mom joke is so well delivered. Such great timing. He knew it was not funny, it was supposed to be an insult. A power move. Hence a response is not something you want to encourage, to not let things escalate.
That’s what I thought too like it would have been awkward if he just waited after the your mom joke. Then he kept talking so his whole line wasn’t focused on the joke.
I like how at 2:34 you can see Saul doing his normal routine, being funny and charming and witty, trying to lull him in, but then he sees that Badger is actually scared and probably incredibly sad as well. And then Saul assures him in a sincere way. And I like to think that's part of Jimmy reaching out.
All of Saul's/Jimmy's scenes in Breaking Bad hits different after having seen season 6, episode 9 of Better Call Saul. This is a sad, traumatized man whose job is his life because that's all he has left.

Breaking Bad was excellent before Sauls introduction and remained excellent after it. It wasn't just pretty good. Episodes like 'A crazy handful of nothing', 'Grilled' aren't the results of a pretty good show. It was a terrific show from start to finish.
My God… seeing this after Better Call Saul 6x9 “Fun and Games,” this hits so hard. Gould wasn’t lying when he said we’d see BB differently after watching Season 6 of BCS.
I love this. One of my best friends was a criminal defense lawyer who I served in the Army with. We used to have great drinking sessions where he would entertain with lawyer stories. Saul Goodman reminds me so much of him. Quick witted, a hustler and wheeler-dealer, infamous around the local courts. He talked me into letting him represent me on a speeding ticket in traffic court. The first thing that he did was talk to the bailiff to get my case pulled first. Then, when I was called and he appeared, the judge started snickering. He knew he was going to be entertained. BTW, he got me off with a warning. Sadly, he passed away a couple years ago due to cancer. A big loss to the courts.
I love Saul, but I always hated that line. It sounds like something a 6th grader would say and even then everyone would roll eyes feeling like "wow that one was creative"
It's amazing how Saul Goodman just opened the door to the interrogation room and instantly became the main character of the entire Breaking Bad universe
@@DvornyashkaDiaries "Never misused his power" Um..did you actually watch the series? Hank definitely abused his power & violated the Constitution multiple times.
Saul is sharp. Hank doesn't usually get shut down to where he has no retort like...ever. "Now, what would the Feds want with that little twerp." Great scene.
Hank's a Fed, he's not used to TV lawyers tearing him a new asshole. Also while Hank and Gomey betrayed their interest so did Saul. Saul's aggression over Badger tells them Badger is a bigger piece than they thought.
@@NormAppleton youre getting mixed up. Saul at this time had no idea that Badger was involved in something big. You can see when he meets Badger he barely even knew who he was. It was only when he saw that Hank and Gomez were involved that he got clued in that something bigger was going on. And for their part, the DEA already knew Badger was possibly connected to the elusive Heisenberg, hence them being there in the first place. Saul didnt betray anything cause he pretty much didnt know anything yet.
Seriously, one of the best reasons to watch Breaking Bad: Saul Goodman! Love that bit at the end where we see that despite the cheesy commercials and his shady methods of acquiring new clients, he is sharp as a tack and a force to be reckoned with!
You'll love Better Call Saul even more then. Incredible spin-off by the same director that truly shows his brilliance as an actor. I dare to say the show is even better than Breaking Bad. Highly recommend!
Seeing this the first time: Ha ha, what a goof! I like this guy, much needed comedic relief. Seeing this after BCS 6x09: This is an emotionally crippled shell of a man compensating for the nightmare that is his reality...
Always saw myself in his character because he was all fun, positive, and bright clown that put smiles on our faces, but now knowing how he got here I only see him as “the sad man”. My fav character of all time Fr fr
Saul Goodmans first appearance in Breaking Bad was in the episode “Better Call Saul.” Walt and Jesses first appearance in Better Call Saul was in the episode “Breaking Bad.”
How did Vince Gilligan manage to do it? Write the perfect script and then match it with perfect people to portray them. Week after week I was more and blown away! Brilliant... every single minute of it!
“You’re not supposed to double up on vitamin A, it’s bad for the liver.” literally everything at of this man’s mouth is hilarious, bob odenkirk is a master of delivery lol. so glad he’s doing a bit better after that heart scare!
@allright715 it’s not that funny on its own, just something about the context of a lawyer arguing with his secretary over a bluetooth in public over something as inconsequential as whether he took his vitamin or not makes me giggle. and as always bob odenkirk could make reading a phonebook funny
@allright715 DURR I DONT GET IT DUUURRR I HAVE TO ALWAYS READ BETWEEN THE LINES DURRRRR I NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING my bad i just had to get that off my chest
Saul back in the day was my fav tv character because he was all bright and fun but now knowing what how he became, it breaks my damn heart. He is truly “the sad man”.
I like how the interaction between Saul and Hank doesn’t sound like the first time they’ve ever met. Usually when there’s a spin-off series, there’s inconsistency’s. Where certain characters should already know each other. This clip sounds like they’ve interacted before. That’s why Saul knew Hank was DEA straight away.
@@stuartmacaulay5761 The irony is that they're great commercials (as in; good at achieving what they're FOR, being memorable and getting attention), everyone around him is just too stuffy to appreciate the.
Yeah, that threw hank off, which was great. He was used to being the bully who always had the power to get under the skin of anyone in his world, and it didn't even phase Saul, who threw it right back in his face and immediately got down to "brass tax' without missing a beat.
This is an example of perfect character development. From the first scene, Gilligan and odenkirk reveal a real, dynamic PERSON whom we recognize so much about instantly. Saul Goodman comes to life in front of our faces and we can’t help but think of all the people we’ve met in our lives who remind us of this character. He is complex and true after just a few lines of dialogue.
@@todaythebirds he's the jester archetype. They're not that common, but I'm sure you've had at least one person around you in elementary/middle/high/university that's close to the archetype.
01:25 It's interesting that Saul casually mentions a transpositional error while going through the paperwork. In Better Call Saul this was a huge storyline that was the focus of a public feud between Saul and his brother Chuck when he still went by the name Jimmy McGill. But in this scene of Breaking Bad the transpositional error is no big deal.
The error in BCS was in a document that was probably public record and would need to be corrected via the court. These seem to be Saul's notes, so it wouldn't matter. Funny enough, when he talks with Oakley, Jimmy berates Oakley for mixing up clients, something that doesn't seem to bother Saul anymore.
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. 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 at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't 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! And you - you have to stop him!
The fact that this Jimmy (or Saul Goodman) we see here, has experienced everything we've seen and still have to witness happening in Better Call Saul. Just crazy if you look at it from this perspective. God knows what'll happen in the final season!
My god i fear for kim. About to finish the fifth season and its such a weird feeling that this saul has experienced all of season 6 and there may be a layer that he locked up (maybe kim wexlers death)
@trapd00rspider Meh howard was a very dull character. He had to go one way or the other. The writers are gonna pull off a big one with kim’s ending i just know it.
Honestly Saul was a huge breath of fresh air that kept the show from getting stale. He perfectly balanced out the more serious characters of Walt and Jesse. Bravo Vince and I mean that sincerely.
Not really. They just made a list of everything that was said and done in BB and then included origin stories for all those things. Literally anyone could do it.

I thought it was quite amusing the way he owned the detective with ''you sneaky Pete!''. Although, that was probably just Bob Odenkirk's delivery of the line.
Maybe we'll see in BCS season 6 how Badger got Saul's number.. that would be awesome. It's a key moment for Saul's future. Because without Badger, Saul would've never met Walter/Jesse, and his story arc would be very different.
@@zizoumonk10 we never see/hear that in BB, yes Jesse said he was the guy that got Emilio out twice and that he would hire him.. But Badger got busted, you think he would call Jesse from jail to hire Saul? I think that Badger knew his number or got his card, and it would be awesome to see that in BCS

"Just like a butcher with his thumb on the scale." Many years ago, I lived in a small town in Brazil. And the local butcher was caught placing a magnet under the scale with his left hand while placing the meat on the scale with his right hand. He had perfected this maneuver into a seamless gesture and had been ripping off his friends and neighbors for years. That is, until he finally got caught.
The way they framed the interaction between Hank and Saul was awesome. Because usually, they’d show everything from Hanks perspective (since we know him the most) but they flip it around. Suddenly one of the main characters is just a bit part in somebody else’s universe. Really cool.

I love this. One of my best friends was a criminal defense lawyer who I served in the Army with. We used to have great drinking sessions where he would entertain with lawyer stories. Saul Goodman reminds me so much of him. Quick witted, a hustler and wheeler-dealer, infamous around the local courts. He talked me into letting him represent me on a speeding ticket in traffic court. The first thing that he did was talk to the bailiff to get my case pulled first. Then, when I was called and he appeared, the judge started snickering. He knew he was going to be entertained. BTW, he got me off with a warning. Sadly, he passed away a couple years ago due to cancer. A big loss to the courts.
Rest in hell
A big loss for the people I would say.
Im sorry for your loss it tuff to lose a friend like that.
was the cancer called lalo?
ironically what killed him is all the treats available by being regularly in a court house.

"The academy hired you right out of the womb?"😂😂😂😂😂
Such an underrated line
Saul is sharp. Hank doesn't usually get shut down to where he has no retort like...ever. "Now, what would the Feds want with that little twerp." Great scene.
Saul is indicating that he has the upper hand in negotiations if his client has valuable information. Hank knows this.
Hank's a Fed, he's not used to TV lawyers tearing him a new asshole. Also while Hank and Gomey betrayed their interest so did Saul. Saul's aggression over Badger tells them Badger is a bigger piece than they thought.
*two Feds
@@NormAppleton youre getting mixed up. Saul at this time had no idea that Badger was involved in something big. You can see when he meets Badger he barely even knew who he was. It was only when he saw that Hank and Gomez were involved that he got clued in that something bigger was going on.
And for their part, the DEA already knew Badger was possibly connected to the elusive Heisenberg, hence them being there in the first place. Saul didnt betray anything cause he pretty much didnt know anything yet.
not the first time Saul went up against Hank. They have history (see BCS)
Seriously, one of the best reasons to watch Breaking Bad: Saul Goodman! Love that bit at the end where we see that despite the cheesy commercials and his shady methods of acquiring new clients, he is sharp as a tack and a force to be reckoned with!
You'll love Better Call Saul even more then. Incredible spin-off by the same director that truly shows his brilliance as an actor.
I dare to say the show is even better than Breaking Bad. Highly recommend!

Seeing this the first time: Ha ha, what a goof! I like this guy, much needed comedic relief.
Seeing this after BCS 6x09: This is an emotionally crippled shell of a man compensating for the nightmare that is his reality...
Always saw myself in his character because he was all fun, positive, and bright clown that put smiles on our faces, but now knowing how he got here I only see him as “the sad man”. My fav character of all time Fr fr
Absolutely - by this point in the timeline he’s now the character with the most depth of them all.
I think its more appropriate to say that he had lost everything that kept him grounded and all thats left is slippin jimmy... or saul goodman
You didn't learn that from Robin Williams and Jim Carrey? It's really nothing new.
"But doctor, I am Pagliacci!"
BB showed us the comedy with him, BCS showed us the tragedy behind it.
Saul will always be one of the best TV characters in my eyes. He’s witty and absolutely hilarious with his roasts.
Hank always is the guy with the best put-down jokes until saul goodman walks into the room.

Yeah, that threw hank off, which was great. He was used to being the bully who always had the power to get under the skin of anyone in his world, and it didn't even phase Saul, who threw it right back in his face and immediately got down to "brass tax' without missing a beat.
Great acting. You can tell by Hank's facial expression that he realized he had made the classic mistake of underestimating his opponent.
No. Hank is surprised that Saul isn't intimated by him at all.
You are right and Hank's reaction to Saul's statement is great acting too. Like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar!
This is an example of perfect character development. From the first scene, Gilligan and odenkirk reveal a real, dynamic PERSON whom we recognize so much about instantly. Saul Goodman comes to life in front of our faces and we can’t help but think of all the people we’ve met in our lives who remind us of this character. He is complex and true after just a few lines of dialogue.
I never meet anyone like this... obviously need more excitement in my life...
@@todaythebirds he's the jester archetype. They're not that common, but I'm sure you've had at least one person around you in elementary/middle/high/university that's close to the archetype.
I love how this show introduced Goodman as a cheap idiot and then he actually shows up and it's a real good and competent lawyer.
he been a good competent lawyer since the pro bono days
When you get in trouble with the law you don’t want a criminal lawyer, you want a CRIMINAL lawyer.
he's ironically the best lawyer in their universe
“You make me happy” James McGill final words
01:25 It's interesting that Saul casually mentions a transpositional error while going through the paperwork.
In Better Call Saul this was a huge storyline that was the focus of a public feud between Saul and his brother Chuck when he still went by the name Jimmy McGill.
But in this scene of Breaking Bad the transpositional error is no big deal.
also his holding company Ice Station Zebra - Kim's favorite movie
The error in BCS was in a document that was probably public record and would need to be corrected via the court. These seem to be Saul's notes, so it wouldn't matter.
Funny enough, when he talks with Oakley, Jimmy berates Oakley for mixing up clients, something that doesn't seem to bother Saul anymore.

Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't 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! And you - you have to stop him!
This chicanery!!

I don't want to upvote because it's at "126" already
The fact that this Jimmy (or Saul Goodman) we see here, has experienced everything we've seen and still have to witness happening in Better Call Saul. Just crazy if you look at it from this perspective. God knows what'll happen in the final season!

And just like that, him getting his own spin-off was set in stone.
Maybe we'll see in BCS season 6 how Badger got Saul's number.. that would be awesome. It's a key moment for Saul's future. Because without Badger, Saul would've never met Walter/Jesse, and his story arc would be very different.
I think all the rascals of ABQ all know Saul Goodman
It's on every billboard and on late night TV.
Pretty sure it was Walt and Jesse who hired Saul for Badger
@@zizoumonk10 we never see/hear that in BB, yes Jesse said he was the guy that got Emilio out twice and that he would hire him..
But Badger got busted, you think he would call Jesse from jail to hire Saul? I think that Badger knew his number or got his card, and it would be awesome to see that in BCS
But Badger never called Saul...Jesse and Walther contacted Saul..Presumably Jesse got Sauls name from Crazy8...Who in turn got it from Nacho Varga...

"Just like a butcher with his thumb on the scale." Many years ago, I lived in a small town in Brazil. And the local butcher was caught placing a magnet under the scale with his left hand while placing the meat on the scale with his right hand.

The way they framed the interaction between Hank and Saul was awesome. Because usually, they’d show everything from Hanks perspective (since we know him the most) but they flip it around.
Suddenly one of the main characters is just a bit part in somebody else’s universe. Really cool.
Saul Goodman is like that friend (or in my case brother) that we all have, a sad and broken person in private but happy and charismatic in public
I try to stay clear of those types. Which is also why I am suspicious of those charming types.
