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."

A moment of silence for the yellow shitbox, it served Jimmy well for nearly five seasons
if the yellow shitbox represents jimmy, and now the car is destroyed after this scene, it probably represents how this trauma scarred and destroyed that part of jimmy, further turning him into saul
@@benskji Yes, his old self is gone.
@@benskji brabo bince
His Esteem was thrown down a cliff
I feel jimmy would have felt more sad about his car loss then the one of tuco
This was Mike’s revenge. Traumatize Jimmy for forgetting his stickers all those times
This is the moment Mike traumatized Saul
This is the moment mike became Mikenberg

LoL
I find it hard to believe Jimmy sent this man to clean up Jesse's dead body.
I like how Mike's tone softens considerably when he realizes Jimmy's in shock. Plus the outfit, the ghillie hat, the rifle, it all just screams Vietnam vet.
Well yea because he was a sniper in Nam.
@Minerales en rebaja I don’t think it’s needs to be confirmed, the scene where he first meets with Lawson the gun dealer strongly implies if not outright says Mike is a Marine and Vietnam veteran
@Minerales en rebaja it was confirmed in behind the scenes of the episode Mike gets killed. Jonathan Banks literally says it word for word.
@@Wolf-wc1js it literally was confirmed though. Jonathan Banks says it himself.
Yeah, it's obviously implied he was a military veteran deeply involved with the Marine Corp. during the Vietnam conflict (either a jarhead himself or other military service specialist who embedded with them).
I like how Mike looks like he just came back from a fishing trip with his 8 year old son

@@justthinking650Time-defying granddaughter
Actually it's never been confirmed exactly what Hailey is. She doesn't age beyond 10 years old externally but beyond that little is known it's suspected Mike was some type of handler for her kind possibly beginning with his military service or through contacts but what is known is shes obviously very highly evolved and loves hungry hippos and balloons and was likely the muscle behind Frings entire operation with Mike carrying out her orders. This is also explains Mikes change of heart about working with the late Heisenberg. He was instructed to by Hailey who did not share the intense loathing for Walter that Mike did as she had no interactions with the man but wanted to be apprised of his progress in the drug world and if necessary neutralize him or Mike if he became to great a liability which seems to be the case after Mike lost the second multi million dollar bank stash and had to go on the run she manipulated Walt into carrying out the hit and Hailey then cut ties and retired from the drug scene with noone left alive who could identify her.

Mike is over-levelled for the mission.
Holy cow, he even sounds bored as hell with it too. It’s like he’s grinding for a 100% play through for the 50th time.
Because his character probably experienced a dozen scenarios just like this.

Mysterious footsteps approaching after taking out the entire ambush squad
Huell: they made me unhappy
Only realized on the rewatch that the tire shots aren't misses; they drop the frame so Mike has a window shot at the guy's head. Awesome
Seemed pretty obvious what he was doing
@@JC-lu8dt I thought at first it was a way to illustrate that bullets are flying around at the same level as Jimmy's head, and his life is in severe danger. Still, from Jimmy's perspective, that's probably what it means.
@@JC-lu8dt Not to me, though it does make sense now. I assumed he was just blowing out the tires to disable the truck, and possibly freak out the guy hiding behind it.
Yeah , that is awesome but I thought that those shots were intended to stop them from any possibility of escaping
Isn't that a bit far fetched? He could just drop his head lower. I always thought it was to disable the vehicle.
I don’t know why but michael’s line to jimmy “you’re in shock, you stay here and breathe” were the most comforting words to hear ever..
You’re right but why’d u call him Michael lmao
@@piratequeen Now that I think about it, I don’t remember a point in any season where they call him Michael instead of Mike.
he was a police pfficer so he probably had some experience
probably because you're easily manipulated
@@piratequeen You’re right, I didn’t finish BCS, thanks!
I love how Mike never carries any fancy ass guns. No semi auto, just a simple, reliable 44 snub nose revolver. That just fits the character so well.
Yeah, especially since he is a veteran of vietnam
He uses a suppressed H&K mark 23 when he rescues chow from the cartel
You do realize that’s the gun that Walt used to kill Mike….
@@mattsivits9834 I did not, good catch!
Pretty sure mike’s snubby is a 357 or at least a 38
No one would have imagined that Saul Goodman passed through this when we saw him first time in breaking bad
I had a feeling he went through some shit considering how calm he was when talking to Walt and Jesse at gunpoint. It definitely seemed like he’s been in situations like that before.
@@jinxthatsme2317 he literally snitched within 5 seconds of being held
Pretty sure they didn't think that far ahead and Saul was just supposed to be exactly what he looked like he was, since he wasn't even meant to appear more than a couple of times in the show at first
Is you listen to what Saul says, the first time he appears in breaking bad when Walt and Jesse have him blind fold and tied up. he thinks it’s lalo after him !
@@bigtom1722 so he snitched lmao
I literally already knew he'd survive at the end, cause he made it into Breaking Bad, so WHY THE HELL WAS I SCARED FOR HIS LIFE?!?!?!
Because you're not too bright.
@@LordTalax gee, thanks buddy. hope your day is going well and that this was a good emotional outlet for you in case it wasn't.
vince gilligan Perfected everything that I thought that’s the end of the legendary SGM !
because you probably got immersed into the scene to the point where you forgot the ending and was just in the moment! it was a brilliant scene!
That's how good drama works.
Pay close attention to the sound design. Mike's sniping is so far away that the bullet's impact and the blood spatters are seconds ahead of the sound of the gun
@Azazel no lol. Almost every movie with snipers without fail ignore it and make the sound come at the same time as the bullet. I've even seen films put the sound BEFORE the bullet impact.
@@nekajuii true but it depends on the point of perspective of where the scene is. If the scene is from the point of view of the sniper, the sound is immediate. If the scene is from the guy getting shot, the bullet will hit before the sound travels there.
@@danzam40 I know how bullets work, dude. Film and TV still get it wrong
Nah Mike just has bad internet
It's actually the exact opposite, the sound is after the impact.

Give Mike his Own Show, he could be an International Hit Man !!! We really could use one of them in Real Life !!!
Mike Ehrmantraut, Speedy Shootin' for You.
This is one of the only shows that accurately portrays how bullets tear through cars and provide zero cover.
depends on which caliber used and the position of the gun mens important
Not zero - the engine block and tires provide some. Plus, being behind a car gives you concealmenr.
I wouldn't say zero cover. A lot of the lethal shots shown were through windows. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make it far going through the metal body. You may still get hit but it would be with significantly less energy.
Not to mention that to mention that the bullets are likely will tumble as they go through the car, quite possibly turning an otherwise hit into a miss.
The relief when I hear Mike’s voice. He’s like the guardian angel in any dangerous situations lol
I instantly recognized him by the pants and revolver alone, long before his face and voice happened
Reminds me of Rudolf von Stroheim
@@zioptis40also the infamous old man walk lmao

I love how this scene changes and impacts Jimmy for the rest of the season, other shows would forget about something like this in the next episode.
Aka almost every CW show
Yeah. Being in a shootout WILL give you ptsd
@@GabesEdtiz LMAO true
Why didnt they just take mikes truck back?
@@t29heavy67 at 3:02 when the last guy fires back, he hits the truck. I think it's the gas tank, but it's some part that makes it unusable.
The only scene I've witnessed where the sound delay on the rifle rounds have been taken into account. Marvellous.
Breaking Bad took it into account when the cartel guy was sniping at Gus’s people (and Gus walks in line of fire like the Terminator) in the episode “The Bug”
SEASON 4 SPOILERS!! A little more subtle but when mike shoots Werner you can see the delay as well.😊
There’s also the scene of Mike at the range.
I've seen it elsewhere (For example, on Netflix's "The Punisher" TV Show). But it's always nice to see this cool attention to detail whenever it pops up.
I love the realism this scene uses for the actual ballistics. Most other shows would treat any kind of cover as an indestructible shield, but bullets will easily pass through any exterior of a civilian car, especially from the rounds coming out of a bolt action sniper rifle.
only thing maybe stopping it being the engine block
What are these most other shows?
@@alexis_electronic exactly, always take cover behind the engine block if you can. The rest of the car is more or less just concealment
@T.J. Kong huh, didn't know that. Definitely gonna take mental note of it though, thanks
And yet when Mike shoots (about to be) Saul's executioner, the bullet doesn't penetrate through him and hit Saul
I cannot take Saul being a defenceless guy anymore after watching the same actor (Bob Odenkirk) killing the entire Russian Mafia in the movie called "Nobody" 🤣
How was the movie? I have meaning to watch it.
@@kaymadd it's really fun to watch for a light-ish movie, I'd definitely suggest you to watch it! :D
@@kaymadd good. i don't care for action movies at all, but i do enjoy the "family man with a violent history" trope. definitely worth checking out.
@@kaymadd It was like he was a John Wick with a family that is still alive.
I haven't seen that movie in a while, so I can see Saul as a defenceless guy.
Bagman is the best episode. The attention to detail, the writing, and the acting make it so.
Honestly it deserves the number one spot over Bad Choice Road
My favourite one is Inflatable, just because of the scene of where he tries to leave Cliff/Main with his bonus by being an "overall jackass" as wise Cliff said
While I do agree somewhat, the way in which BCS distinguishes itself as a GOAT show, is its cinematography.
@@quintvermeulen703 Oh, sure. Definitely.
I think Chicanery is the best one personally, but Bagman is definitely up there.
Bob’s acting when the first sniper shot went off is very realistic. I’d imagine that’s the exact facial expression I’d make if I were in this situation
Yea and don't forget the part about Craping your Pants !!!! That left that out !!!
@@rogerhegemier8491 explains why he walks so slow in the desert
Apparently Bob didn’t wear ear protection during the part where he is taking cover in order to portray Jimmy’s utter shock in that moment
@@CleronRIP his eardrums
Fun fact: Bob Odenkirk was genuinely in shock, because he wasnt informed that Jonathan Banks would actually kill those extras for the sake of realism. Vince truly outdid himself here.
Bravo Vince
Gotta make it look real
That's what turned him into a Nobody
Stop glazing
@@bugboxing229cringe
That's what I love about BCS and BB:
Violence and action only ACCOMPANY the actual story and have no purpous by themselves.
They only appear after the story builds up tension and mark a tipping point after which characters and stances PERMANENTLY change.
Paradoxically it makes the violence appear more violent/brutal compared to trash action movies because you know what's at stake.
porpose. (Mitty reference.) But I agree with your comment.
@@jaytolbert7538

Very true
This may be true but there’s also nothing wrong with a comfy dumb action movie
@@JoshLeitzel Oh yes it is, it may cause brain damage. "You are what you eat", they say, and this is not only true for food.
The detail that stuck with me the most from this scene was the way that Jimmy screams “NOO!!” out of pure desperation right before his demise. It’s almost like you can hear in his voice that he’s made it so far and doesn’t want this to be how it ends.

@@Someone-pu5eg He's literally stating the obvious--the complete obvious of why anybody screams "Nooo!" when their life is about to end LOL??
Bravo vince!
One of my favourite things about Mike is the kind soul behind the rough exterior. He noticed Jimmy was in shock and spoke to him in a soft manner. Specifically when he is dealing with people who are in despair he usually completely drops the tough guy act his parental skills emerge
Same with Pryce and Papa Varga
Not with Jesse though.. he just slapped poor Jesse who had just lost his girlfriend
@@nemishasharma5737well, between better call saul and breaking bad mike detoriated morally. even then, he still eventually found a soft spot for jesse
Jessie was in the game and a drug dealer... Jimmy is a non combatant not the same thing@@nemishasharma5737
The last three episodes of season 5 are top tier TV. Just pure cinema!
@E Van yes! And they made us wait for so looong. I’ll rewatch it before it comes out.
except for how useless gus' hitmen were
Except for the Lalo and Nacho stuff at the very end I agree
not really
@@miromaynigo just done that and I love it more now 😂😂
Can you imagine if we didn't see Mike at all in Better Call Saul, and this was his first scene?
That would have been absolutely epic
Thinking about it now, they could have potentially done this in that way, maybe have this kinda scene earlier in the show and have mike come a bit later
It wouldn't have had remotely the same impact on a character level. It might be a fun one off shock value thing but it has so much more weight now that these two have an actual relationship. Jimmy knows that Mike is not someone you mess with. Now he truly understands just how deadly this old man he started off butting heads over stickers with truly is.
No, I like stickers :D
That's what a cheap show would do
Now I know why saul was so nonchalant when walter and jesse kidnapped him. He was yelling, but he was still saul (cracking jokes), in this scene he was completely jimmy.
that and he knew he could probably talk himself out of the situation, unless it’s cartel or lalo related
good news, the latest episode gives his perspective and proves this theory
he beg like a bih when Jesse confront him about the risin tho
Mike: Are you hit?
Jimmy (barely audible)
Mike: (slaps Jimmy) "You woke up, you found them, that's all you know!"
It's interesting how they dropped the machine gun's volume down drastically at 3:02, as if that'd be Saul's perspective of someone who's experiencing a state of shock, numbing out the stressor. Brilliant filmmaking.
That’s not a machine gun, that’s an automatic rifle.
Machine guns are typically belt-fed
Edit: Correction, rifles are typically lower rate of fire than a machine gun
@ALJ9000 A: That's not true. A machine gun doesn't NEED to be belt fed to be a machine gun and B: even if it was technically true (which it's not), it would be the dumbest level of pedantry on the planet.
@@ALJ9000 the RPK would like a word with you
3:13 Jimmy sees the corpse run over, for bonus PTSD
Bob odenkirk is such a great actor, even in a scene like this where he is just meant to act scared it comes off as really genuine, he looks terrified and i feel so bad for him just by looking.
apparently he refused to wear earplugs during this scene because he wanted to be able to react to the gunfire more realistically
I read that Vince Gilligan actually got Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks in trouble with a real cartel, so here they actually are in a gunfight. This shows how dedicated Vince is to capturing the dangers of the drug trade.
@@scottvelez3154 Bravo vince!
Its hard to believe such a slow buildup of a show based on law practice can make such an action filled moment so much more meaningful and suspenseful.
My favorite parts of this scene. The man with the mouth tried to use his mouth against those that speak another language, his powers are useless here and maybe he needed to know his own toolkit for the future. Another thing is how empathetic Mike is towards his shock. Mike knows you don't become as hardened as him without going through those first moments of shock the first few times which makes me think either he felt the way at one point or he cares about Saul in a way that he cared about another almost, maybe his son, if Mike can't protect his son maybe doing what he does for others makes him feel less useless. Either way Mike didn't need to save Saul he choose to.
It’s so funny you mention that his powers were useless in this situation because he didn’t know Spanish, all he said was lawyer and friend of the cartel. In Breaking Bad when Jesse and Walt take Goodman to the hole in the desert, he speaks a little more Spanish than this time, showing he’s brushed up a little bit to strengthen his footing with a language barrier. Granted, I don’t think he says much more, I just remember his use of siempre
@@biohazardsoldierPMK very true he was much more prepared to defend himself in Spanish the 2nd time
@@biohazardsoldierPMK True. The second time he says that he has always been a friend of the cartel and asks if Lalo send them. However he is still in a bit of a panic because he never became as hardened as Mike.

Mike underestimated that chemistry teacher and as Hector put it, stopped surviving with the mouth he had.

This episode has the best cinematography in both shows. It looks amazing on every level.
I think the episode “crawl space” from BB had slightly better cinematography but this is very close as well
Jimmy be like: "🥑🥑!!"
I always come back to this not only because of the great scene but also since I love the color palette, (the blue sky and desert colors and then jimmy's bright clothes and his yellow car, which kinda shows how jimmy doesn't fit there) it's so nice to look at despite what's happening
I swear nobody mentions the sky in breaking bad and better call Saul it has always felt like a trademark
The color scheme overall is awesome in BCS. It's got like a Grand Theft Auto vibe
An underappreciated element of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is their meticulous, gorgeous cinematography. Throughout all the hideous depravities and human tragedies, I don't think there's a single _shot_ in the entire setting that is dull or unpleasant to look at.
I love the choreography of this firefight. You see them just randomly dumping rounds downrange without selecting targets because they have absolutely no idea where the shots are coming from. They have a vague idea of the direction, but that's all. Even if they did know precisely where he was, it'd be trying to thread a needle in a tornado with their optics. Best they could do would be getting the rounds close enough that Mike is forced into cover and they can drive away.
Mike, however, has a vantage point and cover+concealment. They could empty every round they have and never even come close to being a threat to him. He can simply take his time and eliminate each one.
They were overconfident, where Mike had a plan & experience.
0:45 I don't know if it is intentional or not but it sounds like Jimmy is saying "Enemigo del cartel" (Enemy of the cartel) lmao
Hahaha caught that one too. Better work on that spanish Saul
That's cause he was trying to speak in spanish so they could understand
He was saying “el amigo del cartel” (a friend of the cartel).
@@danzam40 That's the point. He was trying to say that and failing
He's saying " El amigo del cartel" 🤣 but yeah it sounds like enemigo too
To think Mike is defeated by a man with cancer.
I mean Walt cheap shotted him, so it wasn’t really a fair fight but yeah..
Mike shooting out the tires in between the moments he spots a shot he can take, and seeing that from the recipient's perspective is just awesome. I would think an experienced shooter would take every opportunity in precious seconds of combat while the enemy panics, especially to cripple their escape.
He shot the tires so he could lower their cover
@@smucklehead89 No shit? That's even better god damn, using highground to full effect
@@TheHippyProductions that Mike is one smart cookie
Yup, hence the specific camera placement when the fatal shot hit the guy who was using that vehicle as cover. Fortune favors the better angler
@@smucklehead89 one smart finger
Crazy how in the first episode Mike and Jimmy were just two dudes who argued about parking and now Jimmy is collecting money for the Cartel with Mike protecting him
Mike is not a half measure kind of guy when it comes to the cartel
The overhead shot as Mike walks up to the cars... Absolute perfection.
This is the moment Saul realizes he's never going to bitch about not enough stickers. He'll pay up; or else...
4:39 that moment is terrible , that face it's like an a lot of emotions , Jimmy can imagine how so far it's the dead , and the acting Bob's it's amazing
Damn I didn’t realize the tires being shot out was to lower the car so he could get the dude through the window
Vince is incredible
The reason why this episode has the most Breaking Bad feel to it is because Vince Gilligan himself directed this episode.

Goddammit Mike, all this badassery only to get killed by a chemistry teacher with an ego the size of a mountain.
1:45, Mike punctured the tyre so he can get a better shot of the guy's head behind the car. Daym
I love how BCS expounded on Mike and Saul’s relationship prior to Breaking Bad. They went on a whole damn adventure together.
1:50 that sound makes the scene so tense and marks the spot of Saul's obvious trauma. 10/10
Better Call Saul ended with a farewell and thanked us fans. Imagine that. A show with a crew and cast that loved our support. Pure class. Goodbye Saul, we loved the show and it has been great.
this scene was honestly one of the first scenes in television that really made me tense and scared for jimmy, i ussualy dont react like this to any scenes but this is something special.
i really love the detail that the hit comes before the sound of the shot....really great work
This scene hardened Jimmy
This is the moment Jimmy became Jimothy.
more like this scene broke Jimmy.
this scene still gives me the chills, you can really feel his shock. no like genuinely this one of the most traumatizing scenes in the show

Yeah, flight fight response. One time a car drove by and someone yelled out the window. I thought it was me and I bolted like Scooby doo
I love how they were dropping before they heard the shots. Cool attention to detail to let you know just how damn far away mike was
more than two football fields?
About 200 yeards according to the terrain. About 1300 yards according to the audio. Pick one. Which AWESOME attention to detail is correct?
That soundtrack that starts at 2:05 is just terrifying. BB/BCS soundtracks are unmatched.
Reminds me of those creepy ambient music from half-life 2
Before you even see mikes face, you see the snubnose revolver and already know who it is
It actually really bums me out that after all they went through in Bagman, Saul barely batted an eye when he found out Walter killed Mike.
It does seem pretty heartless, but to be fair by that time their relationship had deteriorated to the point Mike didn't hesitate to threaten Saul on Gus' behalf.
Not to mention Walter at that point had poisoned a child, killed a cartel boss, and made it clear he wasn't going to stand any more backtalk from Saul.
its not after, its before, stop acting like they have already written this episode 10 years before it aired not everything is intentional
I LOVE the attention to detail. Jimmy's shirt is sprayed with blood from the shot, then a second and a half later, a distant crack is heard from Mike's rifle. Brilliant.
2:41 Love how the bullet hole lines up with the car, really cool shot.
Literally a cool “shot”…

"Avocado! Avocado!" 🥑
1:22 what was dude thinking 💀
@1:28 "Better Crawl Saul"
3:49 "Such heroic nonsense..."
That reminds me of Megatron.
This is my favourite episode of the series so far. I've watched it four times now, it's just... ugh, how is it this well made!?
That first shot where he feels the blood before hearing the shot is an epic part of this whole scene
We all knew Jimmy wasn't gonna die. Still the creators built so much tension, its unbelievable!!
Sudden theory : Because Jimmy didn't know he wasn't going to die and they managed to tell his story not our story.
Supported : I read a bit recently : Director wanted Jimmy in every shot so it played out as much as possible from his perspective.
So, yeah, the directing wasn't "And then Jimmy's assailants and Mike were involved in a shootout" but rather "OMGFUCKFUCKFUCKI'MGONNADIE." Not saying it's easy, but that that is what was going on and why it was effective.
Meanwhile, Walter is grading Jesse's homework
Although i knew he will survive this, cause he is in breaking bad, i still was so damn worried about Saul in this Scene. So well done
When the cartel started shooting I bet mike was thinking “That’s cute, do you even know where I’m at or are you just shooting blindly?”
That’s the difference between men that do the homework on their surroundings and those that do not.
Oh boy, these guys sure didn't like avocados. 🥑

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it translates to lawyer
Growing up in EPTX at this time, I am impressed at how BCS even made sure that Chihuahua plates were accurate to the era this was set in of 2004.
The yellow strip plates are what I would see on "regular" cars back then, coming in from Ciudad de Juarez. Rich people driving newer cars had a different plate, like seen on the twins' Cayenne Turbo. Crazy how time accurate this is.
The bullets hittin ppl before you hear the sound is a nice touch and helps illustrate how far away Mike is. Dudes would have no clue where the shots are coming from
That’s the moment when Suzuki Esteem’s became Suzuki Esteem with a shot alternator.
This scene is the only time Mike ever sympathizes with Saul.
I absolutely love the tires going out on the vehicles one by one as Jimmy looks around frantically. From his perspective, even if he DOES survive this, he's getting indicator after indicator that there's no escaping whoever is doing this. Brilliant filmmaking showing them going out in the background as he crawls around in the foreground.
He deliberately shot out the tires to lower the cover, exposing a clean headshot.
"Stay here and breathe"
Mike was being nice and caring for a few seconds, but then stops the sympathy abruptly.
Sometimes on the path to victory, you need to do harmful things. Sometimes you need to do nice things.
0:20 i literally have that exact same vest for airsoft. I even double checked the placement of the pouches, it's exactly the same
Anyone can call Saul. But who can Saul call?
he has that so "matter of fact" traumatized facial expression that you do see with people with severe PTSD, i love the way they make people say so much without saying anything at all.
Saul is thinking how did I get mixed up with these people? I’m just a lawyer trying to make a good living and now I’m in the desert getting shot at! He practically soiled himself. He got lucky because he could have easily been shot dead. This was a great episode. Definitely gave me a chill and a feeling of helplessness.
