Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
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."

Bob Odenkirk not being available for this episode has gotta be the BEST ACCIDENT in the history of television
Please share context
@@staringintotheabyss1769 originally Saul was the one who was supposed to clean up the scene after Jane's death but Sauls actor couldn’t make it the day it was filmed due to a scheduling problem and so they created Mike instead
@@cyplex206 dang, i feel bad for being thankful that accident happened because, since i don't know what happened, it could be actually a bad accident for Bob.
@@cyplex206 it would be so weird having Saul do a clean up over a dead body
@@cyplex206 where did you get this information from?
“Saul Goodman sent me. You don’t have enough stickers”
"You're light on dicks"
😂😂😂
BuT ThEy tOoK my BaSeBaLL cArDs
"Jesse you're light on stickers either you pay the 5 $ or you get an additional sticker the choice is yours"
?????
It’s genuinely kind of crazy to realise that Mike, one of the most important and beloved characters in this whole series, wouldn’t have existed if Bob had just turned up to set that day and they didn’t need to bring Jonathan in to fill that role.
This is the way
Bob was also brought in to replace Hank as the comic relief after Hank's experience with Tortuga and the tortoise made his character understandably more traumatized.
It’s a great idea because I don’t see Saul doing this dirty work himself and it opens up the opportunity for him to be a softer character in BSC
You make it sound like Bob just chose not to turn up for work one day
In either case, can you imagine saul dealing with this? Dragging Jane's body with huell 😂.
Rewatching this, it’s a really nice detail that Mike is sent for the cleanup knowing that he is a former cop. He knows firsthand where the average officer would snoop around, and he knows how to outsmart them.
He was soo careful to wear the gloves and then he takes them off right before he goes to open the door to leave the apartment leaving his fingerprints behind at the scene. I guess he isn't wearing gloves to prevent leaving behind fingerprints but instead that he is wiping down surfaces that had drugs on them and he didn't want the stuff on his skin.
Truer words were never spoken.
Well...yeah.
Ironic that Mike mentions stating the obvious. 😅
Right
@@red2977 There's absolutely nothing to connect Mike to Jane's death. Doorknobs have a bajillion of prints on them by nature. The police don't go identifying every single print, especially not if there's little to suspect faul play like in this case.
Besides introducing us to Mike, it's hard to picture Saul getting hands-on in cleaning up a crime scene. I'm glad Bob Odenkirk was unavailable to film this scene!
yeah also saul is too funny for the serious feel of this scene.
@@Breedo It would be so weird seeing him acting all serious in this scene and going back to how he is in the next episode
Saul would have probably put his own spin on it. Maybe make some jokes while cleaning up
@@BlackCheckrdVansEh maybe. Wouldn't really feel like Saul though. He can be arrogant at times, but he's not heartless.
I can picture it with the forgery and illegal activity Jimmy does in BCS.
Jesse: breaking down over the sudden death of the person he loved most
Mike: *SLAP*
Yeah but to be fair his life would have only gotten worse if he didn’t nail the recited lines and got sent to prison
@@HatredInTheFlesh (SPOILER WARNING)
Well it would beat being enslaved by Nazis for six months.
Improvised too ♥️
Mike is evil, none can say otherwise.
Mike was basically trying to get a point across to him, to pull it together. He was actually more being kind to Jesse by smacking some sense into him.
Amazing introduction to an amazing character. Crazy to think Mike was created as a substitute for Saul.
Yeah, especially considering that Saul is good for a lot of things but he's definitely no cleaner
THANK GOD!!
nearly the entire show was written on a whim and it worked well
And someone had the nerve to call Mike boring 🙄
It’s funny because If you watch bcs you’d know Saul’s not good at this kinda thing
"Hang tough. You're in the home stretch."
The last line in the scene hints at kindness and affection that would eventually develop a bond between Mike and J.
Perhaps a line they had originally intended for Saul.
Mike was literally wanted to kill Jesse in next season, so I'm not sure about the kindness part.
@@SciolistWell in BCS he killed Werner even thought he never wanted to, but orders are orders, you gotta keep your feelings to yourself if you're working for cartel leaders
@@Sciolist Mike does his job no matter what, but he isn't a heartless man. He did empathize with Jesse, but a job's a job. When the order to kill Jesse is called off and they start working together, you do see that Mike is kinda fond of him, especially in Season 5.
Idk that’s a pretty terrible thing to say to someone who lost a loved one
"Saul Goodman sent me. In a few months I'm going to be a fatherly figure for you, believe it or not"
Isn't it a year or so when they get more Friendly? I could be wrong
@@josiahgonzalez942 This scene is in March 2009. When Mike takes Jesse for the dropoffs, it is June 2009. So only 3 months
I know this scene was the introduction of Mike, but Arron Paul's acting, as always, is so spot on, and it makes the scene what it is
Is crazy he never got any formal training. He's a natural.
Agreed. His “instincts” as an actor are absolutely impeccable. Never too much, never too little. The producers caught lightning in a bottle when they cast him.
@@danielevans9379 yeah, but it’s such a shame he gave such hamfisted performances in every post-breaking bad appearance of Jesse we got
@@Widembois he definitely was on point during those original 5 seasons. I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything else. 🤔
@@Widembois absolutely, I have the same exact issue with his performance. I get a feeling that Aaron kind of evolved with Jesse and that's why his acting is so good in Breaking Bad, because he kind of got lucky with this. He cannot replicate early Jesse, he's like a weird version of Season 5 Jesse at best all time.
Mike is one of the coolest characters ever written into a TV series.
How he’s jus a boring old man
@@Matthew-oq1hxYOU're a boring old man
Mike and Darryl Dixon have got to be two of the best examples of this happening.
@@Matthew-oq1hxhave you watched all of BB ?
Most badass as well 😈
And to think Mike was a last minute replacement for Saul
Vravo Bince
@@GreasySenpailmao
Best character in any of the shows/movie
There is no such thing as a last minute replacement in a tv series like this. That claim is severely overstated. They didn’t just wake Jonathan Banks up one morning and make him to do Saul Goodman lines. There’s auditions, screenwrites, re writes. Maybe Bob Odenkirk was not gonna be available for a bit but the process of creating this is not as spontaneous as they like you to believe.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx i was referring to that since Bob, was busy they has to create a new one
2:24 "Think hard, your freedom depends on it." I don't know why, but when I rewatched the series that line made me chuckle. It's just such a Mike thing to say. I know Saul was originally supposed to be in this scene and he could've said any of this dialogue just the same, but Jonathan Banks really made this small role his own. I'm so glad Vince made Mike a main character after this.
You are the dimmary guy
Personally, I don't think these dialogues would fit as well with Saul, because he's a bit too silly for a scene where we got a traumatized and depressed Jesse. Mike's way of handling things feels more serious, so it doesn't come as a detriment to Jesse's feels.
@@lobardodelainternet4253 Yeah, a lot of time they write or change dialogue to fit the character. That said, Vince has said that when Saul would have gone down a much darker path had Bob Odenkirk been available for this scene.
I think orignally this scene was more in keeping with the earlier episodes' tone. The juxtaposition of silliness with the darkness of the criminal underworld. One could imagine a frantic, energetic, slightly exasperated Saul running around hastily grabbing stuff and shoving it in a bag. Finally turning to Jesse to do the part he's good at--telling him what to say and what not to say. Becoming flustered that Jesse is basically shut down, giving him a goofy and well-meaning, but generally inappropriate speech to console him/pep him up. Then giving up when Jesse only returns a baffled expression, making Jesse say the line he's supposed to say, and leaving just as quick as he came.
Banks, of course, has a wildly different tone that is more respectful of the gravity of the moment for Jesse. It gives the whole show a different tone, and may have been a major turning point for the show to veer even deeper into drama and away from dark comedy.
It’s cool how BCS lets us know that Mike actually knew who Jesse was and pretty much everything about him before this scene even takes place
What, how, when?
@@pablohorgiy2377after Saul gets kidnapped by Jesse and Walt, he hires Mike to investigate who both Igor and Heisenberg really are.
@@danielmorrison4060Vince added so many layers to the story in BCS, it’s unbelievable.
@@asharora8785Peter Gould, technically. Vince himself admits he was barely involved after the first few seasons.
Fun fact: Vince Gilligan actually killed Janes actress on set to make Aaron's heartbreak more realistic. Bravo Vince!
It's little details like these that makes 🅱️reaking 🅱️ad the greatest TV show ever. 🅱️ravo Vince indeed.
😂 😂 😂
I mean, you can see her breathing at 1:15, so pretty impressive that she can do that while being dead
@@halfdanfiskerangen9025 🤦
@@halfdanfiskerangen9025 that just shows her dedication to the craft
At this point in the show, Mike was like a mysterious boogeyman, so much suspense about who he is and what he does. Fantastic!
2:47 That quick glance at the camera 🤣🤣
That glance is everything lol it's such a good fourth wall break but it also really fits Mike's character. He may be a hardened criminal, but he's a nice guy deep down. He probably doesn't want to hurt Jesse at all, I'm sure he can tell that he's already hurting bad enough given the situation, but he needs Jesse to get the story straight so he doesn't get in further trouble. He gives us that frustrated "I don't wanna do this but I have to" type look
That's an old Hollywood thing, to look at the camera and do a soft 4th wall break. Oliver Hardy from Laurel & Hardy used to do it when Laurel was doing something really stupid, and Skipper from Gilligan's Island would do it when Gilligan acted stupid.
2:48 He looked at the camera and thought “look at this goober eh?” *SLAP*
Only time it happens
Wasn’t a fourth wall break. In Mike’s POV, he was looking at the wall.
MIKE : "You woke up you found her that's all you know" say it
Jesse : "You woke up you found her that's all you know"

@@wrestlinginfodude2644 STEAK SAUCE
He goes through all the effort of making sure not to leave a trace that he was there, then he proceeds to take off the gloves, and open the door with his bare hands. XD
I noticed that.
He also opened the front door without gloves as well
Like Mike said, ODs don't prompt much attention, let along fingerprinting.
@@will_it_work So were the gloves more so just for sanitary purposes then?
Anyone can touch a doorknob. But walking outside with gloves on would draw attention to Mike. It makes sense.
I always found Mike to be a complex character. He was as tough as a nail, yet at the same time he came across as a Gentle Giant. Kudos to Jonathan Banks. He honestly did such a superb job in this role. Breaking Bad would not have been the same without him.
Truer words were never spoken.
gentle giant reference?????????????
I must've watch BB back to back at least 5 or 6 times and there's plenty of sad and horrific moments in the series. However: Jane's death still gets me every time.
Honestly, Jane's death is the only thing that kept Jesse alive. Had she lived they both would have died of an OD eventually.
@@SupComRaiden2I guess that's what makes it even more tragic in away. This is a kind of scenario/situation that no matter what doesn't end well.
Ikr. It was satisfying
Really nice little acting touch there, 1:02
Banks plays a good balance, he's not completely unaffected by seeing a very young woman dead at the end of a sad, self-destructive road with her boyfriend weeping in the next room,
he isn't gonna weep about it, but you can tell he's sad to see it, Banks does a great job of giving us just that little morsel without stepping over into making Mike too soft and/or sympathetic, hardened, but still ultimately human.
The way he looks back at her two or three times was a nice move
Exactly.
1:27 He knew someone else was there. It's a subtle detail, but it really shows how much attention to detail Mike was putting into the cleanup.
What makes you say that
he just made an observation cause it was odd that the cardboard was there. he doesnt know anyone else was there
@@nukacolacompany2534No, Mike knew. When he touches the cardboard, he notices that it got punched from the *outside*. Meaning someone must have entered the room at some point by forcing his way through the cardboard and opening the door (Walter). Mike was no dummy, but he didn't question it since his job was just to clean up. Questioning Jesse about it would have panicked him further and would have likely resulted in him alerting the cops.
@@AnimalBlundetto-12I think that him knowing that someone broke in doesn’t tell him when they broke in. I feel like without more information there’s no reason for him to not just see it as a druggie having a broken door and not caring enough to fix it for weeks.
@@iimaginewagons632 He doesn't know when the intruder broke in, but he definetly knows there was a forced entry from the outside at some point in time based on the loose cardboard. You're right, it doesn't really mean much since it's just a pair of drug addicts but it was a curious find for him since he was covering up the scene. It just shows Mike's incredible attention to details and why he's Gus' top man.
It was a cool callback in BCS when, in the scene where Mike tells Saul about Walter White, Mike walks into the room wearing sunglasses just like he does in this scene.
He then conspicuously dropped them afterwards, presumably when they had a better idea of who Mike actually was and realised he didn’t need to wear sunglasses everywhere to be intimidating, but it is a nice bit of continuity to show he was wearing them until that the end of S2 regardless.
I loved that detail in BCS. The sunglasses are super conspicuous because Mike never wears them again, even in the desert at high bright.
A lot of people wear sunglasses when they drive
@@jacklee8467 Mike doesn’t in any of the scenes where he’s driving.
you could also explain his glasses in this as him trynna conceal his identity a bit
First time I saw this scene it immediately reminded me of Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction. Just that hired gun contact who has the experience of working with messes big and small and knows how to professionally and cleanly get out of them. When Mike tells Jesse to think hard about any other contraband being in the house because his freedom depends on it, sounds just like something Winston Wolf would forewarn.
The only difference being Mike went to work right away, searched the house and took the contraband then talked process. True time being a factor
Mr. Wolf, it was a real honor watching you work.
Fun fact: Vince Gilligan brought all the actors into a room before every season and had them professionally hypnotized to believe they were their respective characters, then let them free in a Truman-Show-type set to do whatever their characters would do. Not only did he save budget from having to hire writers, but also ensured realism. This was the moment Bravo truly Vinced.
😂
Man, these jokes stopped being funny long before you discovered them
Lmao
@@zekeiwa5837 It's still funny
@@zekeiwa5837 why don’t you go Robin Williams yourself in your closet, bud
Forever thankful that Bob Odenkirk was busy with another show (How I Met Your Mother, I believe) around the time this episode was filmed cuz that led to the creation of Mike Ehrmantraut.
Such a dark, depressing scene. Yet Jane's death does not deter Jesse from continuing along the path he's on with his former high school chemistry teacher. Little does Jesse know Walt made a brutal decision to let Jane die rather than call 911. Jane was one of many in the series who made the fatal mistake of crossing Walter.
Felt so bad for Jesse. I was so happy when Todd became his friend.
lol good ole Todd.
He gave him a house and a stable employment. It's not easy finding friend like that you know.
@@minhducnguyen9276 That house was a nice basement apartment. Jesse be living in style. Todd even gave him a couple of beers to celebrate.
@@mkultra2456he also hung a picture of Jesse’s girlfriend and her son in the workplace, showing he values family as well 🙂
@@ndhickson3599 Oh yeah I forgot about that. What a nice thing to do.
If only the actor who played Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) knew how important this would be for his career, good god...Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul made him a star.
He played in Beverly hills cop
@@jeffreycogswell5839 He played in the TV drama "Wiseguy" for 4 or 5 seasons as well. Mid 80s as I recall.
It's crazy to think that you have an ex cop from Philly cleaning up a crime scene in Albuquerque.
If I were crooked, I'd love a cop on the payroll. They know what to look for.
Art imitates life. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Crazy to think he handled howard hamlin's case before this
One of the most heartwrenching scenes of the show
It was way more heartwrenching when her dad showed up, I thought this particular scene was satisfying.
Bob Odenkirk not being there for this honestly worked out so great. It created a whole new character who become (at least in my opinion) the best character in this series. Plus I could never imagine the comedic Saul Goodman coming in and trying to do this scene.
Look at Mike rolling up in sunglasses like he has any need whatsoever to prove he’s a badass
When Mike says to count down from 20, that is exactly how long it takes him to leave. Running everything like clockwork, as usual.
Mike-a character who was never supposed to exist, to a one time character, to possibly the best character in the BB universe.
This is like the Winston Wolf scene, but dark.
Mike went to the effort of wearing gloves inside, but his finger prints are on both door knobs of the front door.
I think the gloves are for sanitary purposes, there's no reason the police would fingerprint even in the worst case scenario for a drug crime. They would just arrest Jesse.
1:14 you can see Jane breathing lol - subtle but noticeable
1:38 you can see her quickly close and reopen her eyes
how they did not noticed that.
a little mistake but not big deal i guess
after seeing this scene play out the way it did. It’s kind of hard to imagine Saul in this scene as originally intended.
I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed Breaking Bad. Every character was played to perfection. The writing was simply brilliant. I especially enjoyed the scenes with Mike. He brought knowledge, logic and calmness to all the chaos he was involved with. I applaud everyone involved with this creation. Without hesitation, the stars aligned with this series.
Looks like you could put it into words. Sentences actually.
Can't imagine what this series, and BCS, would look like if Odenkirk didn't have a scheduling conflict this day
Whether Bob Odenkirk was available at the time is not important. Saul was a sort of comic relief in the series to begin with, so he would of course have a "fixer" to handle the rough stuff. Saul wasn't supposed to be the guy to get his hands dirty. Thus, Mike. And we were blessed with the brilliance of Jonathan Banks.
I can't imagine better call saul without mike, infact the only reason i saw BCS was because of a s1 clip of mike of bcs.
I always loved how quick and professional Mike was, no half measures and straight to the point, razor sharp.
The last view days I’ve been seeing these clips pop up in my subscriptions. I have got so many new shows to see but watching these clips makes me want to binge Breaking Bad and Saul again… for the third or fourth time. It so good!
I rewatch both series every year. They're so good every time.
"What about stickers. You got any more stickers in the house? Think hard. Your freedom depends on it."
the amount of crime scene cleaning Mike did both in BB and BCS is unreal
Crazy that this is all the screen time that Mike and Jane ever share
Mike is best dad, not just to his own granddaughter, but to Jessie too.
Mike and The Wolf are peers in their profession.
This programme was brilliant for many reasons. One of those reasons is that Mike, like Saul, is a criminal. However, even though he knows he's a criminal, he doesn't wish to lose all of what makes him a human. He empathizes with Jesse. He's doing the job of a criminal, and yet he still tries to maintain his humanity. With a nod to The Godfather, yes it's business, but it's also personal.
the death of one character begins the start of another
I think Jonathan put A LOT in that small characther (in that time, Mike dont even had a name, was just a substitute because Bob cant go to the studio that day) So that slap, that look to the corpes of the girl, the description on how police works, made the character totally dimensional with a story to tell
Mike has got to be the best "Ive got a guy for this" ever
this is the moment mike ehrmantraut ehrmantrauted all over and jesse didnt know anything else than he woke up and found her, they both truly breaked the bad very well, bravo vince!
I woke up I found her that's all I know.

"Stay tough you're in the home stretch" hits close to home
Amazing how this was the introduction to Mike in BB and one of the final scenes of Mike on BCS was him cleaning up another crime scene

Considering Mike is an expert of security, it’s weird he forgot to lock his car.
That car wouldn't catch any attention Easier to just leave when he needs to.
The unplanned character development of Mike is incredible. In this show you see how much he has lost his morals and debased himself with how he slaps Jesse. In Better Call Saul, we see how he got to this point. He cared when his little stunt got a normal guy killed when he destroyed Hectors money. He went on a self destructive path. This Mike wouldn't really care as much. In Breaking Bad, he has a code, but not morals. Unless it is family.
You're reading too much into it. Mike didn't slap Jesse because "he has lost his morals and debased himself".
He did it because Jesse was in emotional shock. But his freedom depended on not being in that shock and not doing anything stupid. That's the way you can wake people up in that situation.
@@andrasszabo1570 Agreed. Also, Mike didn’t get a normal guy killed when destroying Hector’s money. The guy was a drug mule and just as much of a criminal as most people in bcs/bb.
Sad how now canonically Howard's death is the reason why Saul sent Mike here, he's seen him do this stuff before.
spoilers btw
With how overworked the APD is in this day and age, I don't feel surprised when Mike tells Jesse that the police may not have arrived.
This was the moment after Saul realized he better make a call
What didn't make much sense with Mike is why in the world would Gus allow him to freelance on jobs like this, which could easily get him in trouble with the law. Obviously, at this point in the show the writers were not considering him to essentially be second in command of a drug empire. But still. no way he'd be allowed to work two jobs.
I see it more as a secret favor that Mike is doing for Saul. Gus doesn’t know Mike’s whereabouts at all times and Mike clearly knows how to shake anyone who might be watching him.
Mike, like Saul is a workaholic. Gus doesn't have need for him 24/7 and as we see in Better Call Saul, the two have a weird professional relationship where they constantly need the others services, so he keeps doing these things to maintain connection to Saul
This is definitely one of the scenes from Breaking Bad
Even.
One small detail that they missed was when Mike left the bedroom and grabbed the bong off of the countertop but there wasn't any water in there. In all of my years, I have NEVER seen a bong without water in it unless it was being cleaned. Even if it isn't being used daily, there is always water in there. I have a bong that hasn't seen any action in about a month but it still has that same, stale water sitting inside when I last used it. They took the time to make it look like it was used quite a bit.
I noticed that too, wondered why he'd be putting bong water in his bag before I saw it was empty haha.
Once you finish watching better call saul, this line makes more sense
"Saul goodman sent me." Now we know why
Mike is the equivalent of Obi Wan and Gandalf if they had an intense malicious side without losing touch of their light. Wise, skilled, efficient, honest, and beneath all that rugged facade, absolutely human. He is my favorite character in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Nobody but Jonathan Banks could have pulled it off as he did.
......get a hotel.
Mike was the Chris Partlow of Breaking Bad.
*Kinda?* Personally, my first gut instinct is to compare him to Cutty, but you have a point.
I feel like the Cousins are more similar to Chris.
Chris was wayyy more ruthless than Mike almost in a psychopathic way. Whole Marlo crew was like that tho lol.
Mike is Slim Charles mate
@@aralmarpuc6886 He didn't say Mike was *literally Chris.*
The acting here and writing are top notch. Heavy scene ~ tragic, painful, real
This introduction of Mike has made me think he had very easy job here and he's just one of the goons. But once you watch BCS you realize he's an ex cop and a pretty sharp person so he knows exactly what the police will be looking for and how to cover it up in the simplest way possible.
And that was the introduction of our last main character
I like how they make it very realistic
I saw this episode, watching Walt watch her choke to death was very tough and nearly turned my stomach.
The debut of finger
saul goodman sends his regards
2:57 tell me again…
If you look closely at Jane's body as Mike is cleaning inside the bedroom, the body is still breathing. Guess it was hard for Krysten Ritter to hold her breath in real life while filming
The tweaker window.... freaking fantastic 👏 👏 ... lol
The audio is quiet for a few seconds when mike gets out of the car so that the audience can clap and cheer
"I woke up... I found her... Mike Ehrmantraut was here-DAMMIT!"
to be honest this is probably my favorite scene of breaking bad, tied next to when heisenberg confronts tuco for the first time
Love how noones mentioning how mike tosses a bong full of water into the bag.😂
I had to scroll so far down for this comment! That dirty bong water being poured right into his bag lol
Yo i was looking for this exact comment
YESSS! It's so disgusting.
True story: did you know that slap you saw from Mike was genuinely a REAL slap, Aaron said it hurt as loud as it sounded. Poor Aaron. Ouch.
Imagine for a moment being Jonathan Banks. A veteran actor hired to replace someone for just one episode and almost 10 years later, that character becomes one of the best in both series.
He's like Jules, Vincent, and the Wolf all wrapped into one convenient package.
amazing thing to know that saul was a last minute replacement for mike
Other way around.
Better Call Mike
Vince actually sting jesse with all yhe needles to make his arms look all puntured dots.
truly a Vravo Bince moment of all time
This is the exact moment when Mike becomes Winston Wolf and tells Jesse to pretty please, with sugar on top, repeat the f**ing alibi.
I feel safe every time watching Breaking Bad, does not matter episode, folks I have to start again
honestly, it would be interesting to see Saul as a guy "for the job"
Mike is my most favorite character on this entire show.
If Jane lived that day, Jessie might have been the one to die on the next OD
