go better call saul episode 101 teaser scene one macro close and a spiral which fills the frame lazily spinning like a hypno disc we realize it's a cinnabun and as we pull away from it it gets coated with icing and now we see there's a whole tray of them waiting to be slathered with creamy white goodness for indeed we are inside a cinnabon store as a female employee puts the finishing touches on these pastries another young employee slides a tray into the oven we see macro close-ups coffee dripping called heating elements etc and all of this every image in the entire teaser is shown in glorious black and white the place is fairly busy with customers there's also a middle-aged manager close on his name tag says jean jean's got unhip glasses a walrus mustache and dark thinning hair he goes about his work briskly and efficiently exuding neither personality nor attitude honestly we wouldn't give this man a second glance except that we used to know him as saul goodman we are looking at a fugitive from justice exactly as predicted at the end of the breaking bad saul now manages a cinnabon in omaha nebraska this is cut and dried stuff we're watching it's a day in the life of a restaurant nothing more we hear only snippets of conversation no emotions on display neither happy nor sad it's simply work helping out an employee gene expertly packages an order to go handing it off he double takes noticing something there's a customer sitting at a top way in the back of the store and he's hard to tell through those glasses he's wearing but he seems to be staring at jean intently whatever gene's doing it ceases he blinks and stares back sunglasses rises to his feet and starts walking towards us we creep in on gene who exhibits the first hint of emotion we've witnessed fear and though he tries to hide it it's growing clearly the fugitive saul goodman has just been recognized his time on the run has reached an end except sunglasses now walks right past gene gene's head swivels with this guy who pads out the door and waves to a friend outside we suddenly realize the guy's stare only seemed to be directed at gene it never actually was gene gives a secret sigh of relief and willie's his heart beat back to 140. again he's on autopilot back to the grind scene two we cut exterior of a townhouse complex at night cookie cutter townhouses depressing this is where larry from three's company went to die inside the apartment downstairs at night ice cubes clunk into a highball glass dram buoy and some sort of off-brand scotch gets poured making a rusty nail instead of a twist of lemon there's an unceremonious squirt from one of those little lemon-shaped juice bottles jean slurps the excess off his drink walks into the living room this place has zero personality oakwood vibe gene plops down on the sectional fires up his flat screen he channel serves finding something he can tolerate sipping is rusty now and staring straight through the tv a thought eventually strikes him he sets down his drink rises heads for the stairs but before he goes he pauses to check the window blinds their clothes tight complete privacy black frame door opens and light floods in we realize we're in a closet jean neels to pull a couple of familiar suitcases out of the way we'll recall he had these when he took his leave in episode 515 of breaking bad with the suitcases removed a hatch is revealed cut into the drywall at the back of the closet now gene removes from it a dented old shoe box steel kneeling gene opens the box and we get a glimpse inside as he sifts through its contents there are papers some old photos a fat stack of mexican pesos there's an old tin band-aid box that rattles like a half full of pebbles and lastly there's an unmarked vhs tape this is what gene came for he cradles it in his hands back downstairs at night the tape gets pressed into a vcr gene backs in the frame settling into the sofa never taking his eyes off the tv he feels around in front of it for his rusty nail we never once see what's on the tv screen but over a bouncy musical jingle whose refrain is better called saw we hear hey you did you know you have rights my name's saul goodman attorney in law and i'm itching for a fight with prosecutors judges the police anyone who's out to ruin your day so if you're in trouble better call saul [Applause] this is the first in a series of 15-second commercials a second one please and another and another the whole time we stay on gene who stares at them intently but gene shows no emotion no nostalgia no regret not pride his expression is unreadable as he watches yet there's one subtle detail we may note which is that gradually a bit of color spews into this black and white image it's the light from the unseen tv it flickers across jean's face in blue yellow and red off these colors growing brighter more vibrant as dead eye gene sifts his drinking stairs act one interior courthouse courtroom albuquerque city still in the frame we're back in color tilt down to reveal a long-faced judge sitting on his bench peering up at the ceiling staring at nothing in particular he slowly rotates in his chair left to right right to left we hear the squeak of the chair that squeak is the loudest thing we hear even though the courtroom is packed jurors the alternates in the jury box one of them coughs another shift center seat another idly scratches his ear someone in the crowded visitor section checks his watch somebody else's stomach rumbles the court reporter examines a fingernail then reaches for her big goal takes a sip the lead prosecutor removes his readers picks out a piece of sleep from his eyes frowns at it on the tip of his pinky and beside him we see a second chair seem to be taking notes however a closer look reveals this young woman is actually drawing a barbarian riding a unicorn over at the defense table set three defendants they're clean cut white guys they look innocent they also look nervous as currently they don't have a defense attorney the defendants glance sidelined to one another wondering where he is we hear a creek the judge rotates towards the bailiff gives them a shrug the bale of nods rises to its feet and exits we cut to men's room hands are split apart pressed against a white tile wall a man is alone in here standing as if he's assuming the position in order to be frisked actually he's at a urinal relieving himself we don't get a good look at him at first we're mostly on his back he seems to be murmuring something under his breath whatever he's saying we can barely hear it remember to be let me tell you it's a b19 again yep because because meet jimmy mcgill he's getting ready psyching himself up who is jimmy mcgill you ask well you already know him as saul goodman but at this particular moment we're in 2002 saul is a ways off in the future and jimmy is still going by the name he was born with the door opens behind him and the bailiff sticks his head into the men's room he gives a little whistle says you're on jimmy glances over his shoulder and nods zip goes the fly flush goes the urinal turns to the mirror shoots his cuffs and danger feels his tie it's showtime is he nervous [ __ ] no he owns this [ __ ] place back to the courtroom black frame then we reveal the courtroom jimmy walking through like elvis taking the stage at the international hotel all eyes are on him o to b-19 again you with me ladies and gentlemen you remember 19 because let me tell you the juices are flowing those red corpuscles are core bustling the grass is green and soft and summer's gonna last forever remember yeah you do but if you're being honest really honest you'll also recall you had an underdeveloped 19 year old brain i mean that thing was the size of a circus peanut me personally i was well let's just say if i was held accountable for every stupid decision i made when i was 19 oh boy and i bet if i were in church right now i'd get a big amen which brings us to these three now these three knuckleheads and i'm sorry boys but that's that's what you are they did a dumb thing we're not denying that however i would like to point out two salient facts in fact one nobody got hurt not a soul very important to keep that in mind fact two though the prosecution keeps banning the term criminal trespass mr spinazo the property owner admitted to us that he keeps most portions of his business open to the public day and night so trespassing i mean dave that's that's kind of a reach isn't it huh here's what i know these three young men near honor students all were feeling their oats one saturday night and they well i i don't know look call me crazy but i don't think they deserve to have their bright futures ruined for what amounts to a minute momentary never to be repeated lapse of judgment ladies and gentlemen you're bigger than that jesus jimmy is good he's confident folksy and genuine he's passionate and convincing his three clients smile hopefully things are looking up except why is the jury so very deadpan same goes for the judge didn't any of that land on these people the prosecutor rises to his feet makes his rebuttal he crosses to an av cart tucked in the corner rolls the car to where the jury can see it pushes the tape into the deck and the tv screen goes blue and now up comes a homemade video two of our young defendants are visible in it it's handheld and shaky and seems to take place in a professional laboratory of some sort the guys keep their voices low so as not to get caught they're giggly and dopey proudly documenting their exploits on camera and what are these exploits you ask this is the embalming room of a funeral home and one of the guys hacksaw in hand is sawing the head off an elderly male corpse oh to be 19 again and now as the head comes loose from the hacksaw hacksaw boy dangles it by its white hair most jurors avert their eyes having seen this all before the prosecutor leans against the cart with his fingers laced staring off the floor this is the entirety of his rebuttal he doesn't even need to say a word dude dude stick your wang in the throat hole the three real life defendants shift uncomfortably in their seat jimmy gives them a fake little nod and a wave off it's going to be fine yeah sure it is back in the courthouse in the chief clerk's office little stuffed animals are proudly displayed on the desk of the court's chief clerk she's staring up through hooded eyes at jimmy who is in mid-rant waving a check what kind of math is that 700 for defense no no per defendant three defendants 2100 which by the way bargain those three maniacs what i did for them they going to jail ain't they so since when is that they had sex with a head okay nobody told you to try all three of them together one trial seven hundred dollars so you want me to spend nine weeks of my life one maniac at a time with three maniac skull [ __ ] you know what you're gonna miss me you you're going to miss me because it'll be a cold day in hell before i uh take any more pd work for this shitty cord sayonara baby and out the door he slams the kirk couldn't care less find a way's in a parking lot pissed jimmy headed for a pearlescent white cadillac of course we remember his famous car whoops he doesn't own that caddy just yet so we adjust to the vehicle part next to it a mid-90s suzuki esteem and yes as the name perversely implies it's a [ __ ] box jimmy plops his briefcase on the suzuki's roof digs for his keys as he does the cell phone rings jimmy checks the readout on his cell and his anger evaporates instantly gets replaced with nervous hope fumbling to answer the call causes to collect himself when he speaks it's with a british accent law offices of james mcgill how may i direct your call oh yes mrs kettleman so good of you to return actually i don't have mr mcgill at the moment but i know he'd oh splendid unfortunately our offices are being painted and the fumes are quite hard could he meet you and your husband at say loyola's cafe on central four o'clock it shall be cheers jimmy hangs up silently pumps his fist he checks his watch jumps in his car barely remembering his briefcase on the roof as the car tears off we find ourselves at a cashier booth a guard arm blocking the exit as the esteem comes to a quick stop in front of it jimmy hands his ticket to the parking attendant we angle past this attendant not seeing his face three dollars i'm validated see the stickers i see five stickers but you're one shy it's three dollars do we recognize this voice boy it sure sounds familiar meanwhile jimmy is antsy to leave and impatient they gave me look i'm validated for the day all right five stickers six stickers i don't know from stickers because i was in that court back there saving people's lives you know that's swell thank you for restoring my faith in a legal system now you either pay the three dollars or go and get an additional sticker by now another vehicle is behind jimmy blocking him from backing up a big reveal we missed the big reveal that was the line we revealed let me back it up then we showed you the 10 words holy [ __ ] we showed the attendant holy [ __ ] it's mike armentrout what's he doing here neither of these two men know each other from adam by the way nor do they care to okay all right and then i say yeah you say i say this well gee that's swell thank you for restoring my faith in the legal system now i either pay the three dollars and go and get an additional sticker there's another vehicle behind jimmy now blocking him from backing up no way is he paying three bucks money's tight son of fine i'm going back going back there lift the do the thing already mike hands him his ticket then lifts the guard arm great job employee of the month right there we find ourselves at loyola's cafe scene 12 were in a booth close coffee gets stirred by a woman's manicured hand her other hand rests atop her husbands i'm just fuzzy as to why you think he needs a lawyer we reveal craig and betsy kettleman i mean craig the way you run your office beyond reproach beyond reproach i'm a he's a stickler with the money he's definitely a stickler he's certainly not guilty of something certainly not he's innocent of any wrongdoing that much is clear to me i don't i don't go looking for guilty people to represent geez who needs that aggravation right look i only know what i read in the paper but here's the thing typically when money goes missing from the county treasury and what's the figure 1.6 million it's an accounting discrepancy a discrepancy absolutely so typically when that happens the police look at the treasurer and since that person is you know uh yeah i just think maybe a little pro activity may be in order i think i'd look guilty if i hired a lawyer actually it's getting arrested that makes people look guilty even the innocent ones and let me tell you innocent people get arrested all the time and they find themselves in a little room with a detective who acts like he's their best friend talk to me he says help me clear this thing up you don't need a lawyer only guilty people need lawyers and boom that's where it all goes south that's when you want someone in your corner someone will fight tooth and nail someone who will in fact already have your defense strategy mapped out in advance lawyers huh we're like health insurance you hope you'll never need it but man oh man not having it so how would we proceed if we decided to uh jimmy's way ahead of him he produces a one-page legal document which he lays before them as well as a pen this is a letter of engagement very simple straightforward please by all means read it closely if you sign it i can get to work on that strategy of ours this very afternoon mr kettleman iza's wife who scans the letter and seems to see nothing wrong with it mr kettleman picks up the pin we're close on jimmy for whom time slows down jimmy plays it cool of course but for him signing mr kettleman would be like ahab catching the white whale he holds his breath jamie's pov the pin clicks open in dreamy slow motion in this specialty ultra macro shot the huge ballpoint tip lazily descends to the paper it impacts the dotted line leaving an ink spot this is it this is the golden moment when jimmy lands his first big client it's really happening until craig i think maybe we should sleep on it uh sure we should do that yeah don't don't you think mr mcgill uh please call me jimmy uh absolutely no rush oh you know what craig we gotta pick up the kids we'll be in touch thank you for the coffee and the advice yeah you're very very welcome uh oh and here and that's got my number handing them a matchbook with james and mcgill a laura you can trust printed on the cover all smiles and waves as the kettleman's exit the restaurant alone in the booth he slurps his coffee and glares into space [ __ ] he turns and peers out the window as pov we see the kettleman's round their modest vehicle a late 80s mercury stable station wagon and we can't hear the discussion but mrs kettleman's body language is very clear no we're not signing with the very first lawyer we meet she climbs behind the wheel of disabled very much the driver in this relationship jimmy sighs and he's not ready to give up yet fishing out his wallet to pay the bill we see he's got six bucks to his name we now cut to a suburban street in the afternoon we see the suzuki esteem zoom pass we cut inside and jimmy holds the phone to his ear he's in mid conversation balancing a credit card atop the wheel and squinting to read it while he drives 243627 expiration for 2004 and the key word is classy all right super super classy use only flowers that look expensive but aren't and the note should say uh dear betsy and craig best wishes from your stickler for justice james mcgill okay and mcgill is spelled wait what no no run it again but i'm telling you it's paid up run it again bam some skateboarders come flashing out of nowhere and slams across the hood of jimmy's car he cracks the windshield before he tumbles out of sight the suzuki slides to a stop oh [ __ ] jimmy sits here motionless for a second breathing fast he just had the piss scared out of him driver's door swings open and jimmy climbs out dreading what i'll find nearby on the pavement lies a young dude who is groaning softly this is cal as jimmy impotently wonders how to tend to him oh my god oh my god a second lenky redheaded skateboarder lars comes gliding in a frame with a late 90s camcorder in hand and it quickly becomes apparent to us that lars is a dead ringer for the guy moaning away on the asphalt lars and cal are identical twins cal keller are you okay look at me buddy say something what did you do man what did you do to my brother oh jesus i think i'm okay man i'm ah stay low just stay low dude jesus we gotta call why don't you look where you're going he's making an attorney he came out of nowhere he freaking hit him man you ran him over i got the i got the whole thing on video laura's it was an accident he didn't mean to look let me just okay yeah it's my leg is it broke you broke his leg why are you all like driving around and out looking you know driving around breaking people's legs somebody call the cops somebody call the cops lars bell is to anyone who'll listen if you lick those hang out in the distance watching but they're not eager to get involved lars chill out don't please please see ya i'm calling on myself i'm going to call him lara spumbles for his phone starts to dial sitting on the asphalt cal grips his injured leg sadly shrugs to jimmy boy jimmy must be in a full-blown panic right wrong in fact the angrier lars gets the more jimmy's anxiety seems to ebb away it gets replaced with a kind of inscrutable watchfulness finally in his best kevin spacey effectless deadpan gee fellas i'm awfully sorry i mean how much do you think it had cost for me to make this right lara's respond to his ear snorts and shakes his head but peacemaker kyle looks to his brother searchingly dude let's find it in our hearts to forgive finally cal considers and then i don't know 500 bucks jimmy considers nodding a beat of silence then he kicks seated cow right in the broken leg ow what the hell man hey sideshow bobs i'll give you a 9.6 for technique but choice of victims 0.0 i'm a lawyer you couple of mongoloids furthermore does this steaming pile the steaming pile of crap scream payday to you too seriously the only way this entire car is worth 500 would be if it had a 300 hooker sitting in the front seat now let's talk about what you owe me for my windshield knowing they're intellectually outgoing lars and cal jump on their skateboards and beat it jimmy yelling after them i'll take a check jimmy watches them go then studies is shittier car we cut to a nail salon on the salon floor close on a woman's foot as it gets de-calloused with pumice stick we hear a murmur of vietnamese being spoken we're in a strip mall nail salon four or five vietnamese women chatter to one another as they tend to their female clients hanging bells on the door jingle as jimmy enters he's got a big smile for all his pearls of the orient xiaoji ciao chi kung the ladies all beam and greet them in their native language they're happy to see jimmy the one exception is mr mrs winn the salon's formidable owner ciao mrs nguyen uh mai don't you look uh is there any mail frowning the older woman cans i'm a short stack of envelopes jimmy gives her a little tip of the hat heads for the back of the place shuffling through his mail you work for people make sex with chopped off head was it in the paper i hear a venom from my cousin why why you work for those people just lucky i guess cucumber water for customers only this is jimmy stop support drink from a water dispenser with cucumber slices floating in it he gives up disappears in the back of the salon we're in a rear storage hallway as jimmy passes through area is stacked high with business supplies and a fluorescent tube with a faulty ballast flickers overhead when he reaches a plane scuffed door mark james and mcgill esquire a law corporation we realize this is the office that jimmy has back in jimmy's office it's dark jimmy flicks on the lights cluttered and depressing that about sums this place up the office is barely big enough for one person jimmy shuts the door behind him now that he's alone his smile fades christ what a day he pulls loose the knot on his tie scooches sideways to the narrow path to his desk plopping down behind it here there's a dated old multi-line desk phone jimmy punches the voicemail button you have zero messages jimmy isn't surprised business is slow he considers and wriggles his fingers at the phone it's as if he's casting a magical spell on it compelling it to ring it doesn't jimmy gives up sifts through his mail close angles nothing but bill after bill after bill he stops shuffling when he comes across an envelope very expensive volume the return address is that of albuquerque law firm hamlin hamlin and mcgill jimmy considers guardedly hopeful he slits the envelope and inside there's a cover letter there's also a cashier's check jimmy studies it for a long time the check is written to him personally and it's made out in the amount of twenty six thousand dollars holy [ __ ] we've seen how broke jimmy is we know he's in dire financial straits now hallelujah but jimmy is not overjoyed about this sudden financial windfall actually seems to piss him off to the degree that he now tears the check in half and off a grim jimmy we end act one act two we're in an elevator call button filling a frame it finger jabs it lighting it up jimmy waits for an elevator in place we don't recognize it's a new day jimmy is wearing his best acrylic blend suit he's alone here taking a deep breath stealing himself he glances over to a trash can which stands nearby its shiny metal side is prominently dented jimmy stares at it lost in thought ding the arrival of the elevator snaps him out of it he steps aboard we cut to a lobby door slides open on a brand new jimmy now he's confident a master of the universe strolling out of the elevator into the white shoe world of hamline him and mcgill this place is everything a law firm should be it's big and airy screaming money everyone's well-dressed right down to the paralegals and assistance as busy people come and go jimmy smiles and nods hello knows every last man and woman marvin hey alice looking good kevin the employees he passes are reserved it's as if they like jimmy but feel awkward around him there's a hint of pity in their eyes jimmy ignores it with his fingertips he beats a drummer on the reception counter i'm sorry hey brenda where's lord vader south conference room uh uh he's not quite ready for you yet how about you wait out here yeah jimmy strolls out of sight the word receptionist glances after him picks up her phone we then cut to a conference room across the room from us at the far end of this mile long conference table sits howard hamlin and six of his junior partners they've got coffee and danishes and are midway through an informal morning meeting jimmy walks right in without knocking finding himself alone at the other end of this ridiculously long table he throws out his arms embellished his best ned baity impersonation you have meddled with the primal forces of nature mr hamlin and i won't have it way in the distance hamline and his juniors sit blinking and staring at him they're not big fans of the movie network apparently a young female lawyer kim was already on the phone when jimmy arrived into it low and flat it's okay brenda we got it sorry it's this table something just comes over me what can we do for you jimmy jimmy plops down in an empty chair he reaches in his jacket pulls out a handful of confetti which used to be that big cashier's check he sprinkles it on the tabletop you can tell me what this 26 000 supposed to be for it's money for chuck isn't that what you wanted a measly 26 grand jesus you're like peter menuet with the indians throw in some beads and shells while you're at it it's a start there'll be more unless you're just going to tear them all up and why was the chuck made a check made out to me why not chuck can he make his way to the bank i just assumed it would be the best money to go through you but we'll do it any way you want see if i didn't know any better i'd say this was some kind of half-assed bribe where you throw a little money at me and the sad hope i'll somehow forget what you owe my client wow no not even remotely correct this thing isn't going away howard what chuck did for this firm and damn near single-handedly one-third of this place belongs to him what do you got here 15 chairs five of these chairs are chucks three light fixtures you'll take the middle one six danishes you can have all the danishes you want jimmy no no they're chuck's danishes oh and chuck's not greedy he'll only take two plus um 17 million dollars you know somewhere in that ballpark we'll know once we get the accountants in here poking around in the meantime no more penny any checks designed to make it look like chuck still works here he doesn't and he never will again and it's time to do right by him and cash him out so these are chuck's wishes you're conveying yeah this is what's best for him and he has personally stated to you that it's his wish to withdraw from the firm you see that would surprise me well it's been nearly a year since he set foot in here i'm looking out for his best interest so am i i for one believe he's going to lick this thing until then his office is just as he left it his secretary's still in the payroll if chuck can call this an extended sabbatical so can we he's that important to us you know what let's let a jury figure it out they're going to love you howard you're so down to earth and relatable jimmy rises to his feet heads back the way he came when he reaches the far end of the table he wants more bellows theatrically and you will atone more blank stares ned beatty network for christ's sake guys we're back in the lobby close on the call button a finger stabbing it once more jimmy waits for the elevator this time to get the hell out of there the moment he has a bit of privacy as such we get to see his true face he's not as cool as a cucumber apparently the meeting didn't go as hooked jimmy is beaten and he knows it here comes hamlin headed our way jimmy snaps out of his phone hamlin offers him a big manila envelope fat and heavy almost forgot this month's filings you could save me some postage were you listening in there chuck doesn't work here anymore you think i'm gonna help you establish a paper trail jimmy no stop trying to pawn that [ __ ] off on him you know sometimes in our line of work we get so caught up with the idea of winning and we forget to listen to our hearts give chuck my love will you hamlin walks off heads for a nearby office jimmy glowers after him [ __ ] wait it'd get worse for as hamline opens the door to this office we catch a glimpse of the two clients who are waiting inside for him yep you guessed it craig and betsy kettleman smiling at hamlin they greet each other warmly then the door shuts and we're left out here in the cold the wind goes out of jimmy he presses his forehead against the wall jabbing the elevator button again find ourselves back on the lower level elevator landing ding jimmy steps off the elevator into the parking garage is he okay not really because once he's alone down here he kicks the [ __ ] out of that familiar dented trash can bang bang bang it dawns on us why the trash can is dented in the first place having finally managed to kick over the can he stands here with his hands on his knees panting for breath and now we pull back to reveal something jimmy can't see just around the corner is that young female lawyer from the conference room kim she's leaning against a wall smoking a cigarette oddly all that ruckus just now didn't alarm her didn't make her look to see what's going on either she's simply smoking and staring into space jimmy wanders out of the elevator landing headed for the parked cars but when he comes across kim he's neither startled or embarrassed instead he joins her he too leans against the wall staring into space after a moment he takes a cigarette from her lips borrowing it for a puff or two jimmy blows smoke in size he places the cigarette back in kim's mouth finally looking at her couldn't you just no i can't jimmy figured as much he doesn't argue kim stubs her butt in the ashtray smoke breaks over she exits without a word jimmy doesn't watch her go he stays another beat then wanders out of frame headed for his car back to act three upscale cul-de-sac at night headlights flare jimmy's esteem turns a corner he drives past well-tinted houses their lights gleaming warmly in the night and pulls into the driveway of the only house that's completely dark like the neighbors this place is roomy and nicely designed but not a single light shines the house seems untended deserted a rotten tooth and a healthy mouth jimmy pulls two bulging plastic heavy bags and some groceries out of the trunk he tucks some newspapers under one arm goes to the mailbox and removes a stack of mail and now he does something very odd in a routine he's followed 100 times jimmy places his watch key fob and cell phone into the mailbox with everything electronic or battery power hidden away he lifts the bags and heads to the walkway at the kitchen threshold jimmy makes a point of touching the drain pipe before unlocking the door we hear the tick tick tick of a manual typewriter echoing from inside we segue to the kitchen as jimmy enters a voice calls from the next room you ground yourself yeah like the rest of the house the kitchen is illuminated by quietly hissing propane lanterns in other words no electric lights lantern lights flicker over jagged gaps where once did the stove refrigerator and microwave jimmy opens a frat party igloo-sized cooler packaged food floats and melted ice he leans down turns about water girl goes from the cooler into a pvc pipe that runs the outside world through a small ragged hole in the wall jimmy dumps the hefty bags in the cooler turns out they're full of ice cubes he closes the cooler and dries his hands on a towel raising a lantern jimmy heads deeper into the house as he does we pass flex conduit snaking from gashes in the sheetrock the tick tick tick of the manual typewriter gets louder as jimmy enters we reveal the man himself charles mcgill jimmy's older brother a brilliant truly decent man with a few problems surrounded by neatly organized stacks of papers and books chuck hunches over emmanuel olympia pecking out a letter you gotta stop putting bacon on the list that cooler is looking like a trickiness of stew chuck holds up a finger once a successful attorney and a name partner in hamilton and mcgill chuck's life has been destroyed by what seems to be a debilitating allergic reaction to electricity chuck tugs the ladder out of the olympia giving it to jimmy perfect timing professor bronze vogelson university of helsinki you're going to have to get it translated hungry to read the fresh papers chuck grabs the stack and lays them on the mahogany dining table he stands there scanning the pages into swedish finnish i'm sure there's someone at unm can can do it check the language department you do know i'm trying to build a legal practice right vogelson's working on the effects of electromagnetic fields on zebrafish he might oh the financial times you missed it so i thought you know thank you i know it's expensive here come on i don't expect you to go out of pocket go ahead reimburse yourself thank you chuck can can you sit down a minute are you all right you peak it i'm fine please you're not you're not in trouble chuck you've got to cash out you've got to again really you know there's no other way and i don't i don't want i know you don't want to hear it but it's got to happen you know i'm going to beat this you know i'm going to get better yeah sure i do then there's nothing to talk about i will beat this i will go back to work ergo a falsies principi pro meaning that's not the meaning that's the one about false principles proceed from false principles your argument is built on quicksand therefore it collapses you're not listening fine let's take this to its logical conclusion in order to pay out my share suppose my partners are forced to liquidate the firm then what that's their problem my clients are out in the cold my case is scattered to the wind 126 people lose their jobs hamlin hamlin mcgill closes what happens to your cronies in the mailroom the assistants the paralegals the janitorial staff all of them out on the street your friend kim a promising career over and done with is that what you want hamlin owes you everything you built that place while he was out at four hills working on his bunker shot let's not exaggerate i helped all the more reason not to tear it down for a little bit of cash chuck listen to me all right i'm drowning i'm going under for the third time with these bull crap overflow yeah bullcrap overflow pd cases it's 700 a shot public defender work is some of the best experience there is it's pure law i had a case the other day three clients depositions war deer jury trial the whole nine yards would i take home seven hundred dollars i might as well 700 bucks i might as well head down to skid row and sell plasma you're representing people who have nowhere else to turn money's beside the point money's not beside the point money is the point i keep telling have patience there are no shortcuts do good work and the clients will come hey chuck my hand to god i didn't want to say this but you are broke i can't carry us both i've been trying like hell but i can't you're saying what you think you have to provide for me i never asked you for that you didn't have to ask i i have done my damnedness but the day of reckoning is here soon you're going to be out on the street with all the electromagnetism in the world raining down on you like hellfire picture that and tell me money's beside the point that's what has you all worked up jimmy there's nothing to worry about here chuck opens a drawer and pulls out a check he hands it over to jimmy jimmy holds it up to the light it features the distinctive hamlin hamelin and mcgill logo what is this it's a stipend there's going to be one every week 857 from hamline hamlin mcgill i will pay them back every penny i didn't want to take anything but howard was very insistent i'll pay you back too wait hamlin was here it's not like i'm a recluse he put his cell phone in the mailbox he understands the situation he grounded himself of course [ __ ] hamlin has outmaneuvered jimmy with the bleak glance jimmy notices among the papers stocked on chuck's desk is the thick hhm envelope the one handling tried to give to jimmy earlier and the two of you agreed that since as everybody knows you're going back to work any day now the firm might as well help you what make ends meet that's correct minus the sarcasm hamlin's making a jump out of you i am going to get better i'm going to go back to work and i'm picking up where i left off i understand you're trying to look out for me but you're missing the bigger picture so um i was thinking vanguard law that sounds kind of important dora gibraltar legal advisors like like the rock has a nice ring to it or or what about keeping it simple aaa law four eggs that would put you right at the top of the yellow pages chuck howard brought this he's concerned chuck produces one of the james and miguel matchbooks you have to admit it could be confusing hamlin hamlin mcgill james m mcgill it's my name i was born with it still i'm not supposed to use my own name on hamlin say so what's he going to do sue me no one wants to create an adversarial situation i'm sure howard would gladly pay the cost of new matchbooks and so on it's it's simply a matter of professional courtesy chuck whose side are you on there no side's here but jimmy listen wouldn't you rather build your own identity why ride on someone else's coattails off jimmy struggling to contain a simmering rage we find ourselves in blackness a door swings open revealing we are inside chuck's mailbox looking out jimmy's hands grabbed his cell phone key fob on the rest we cut inside his suzuki esteem jimmy slams the car door he sits in the motionless esteem stewing anger building and waves he slowly turns to glare through the spider web of cracks in the windshield jagged lines crisscrossing jimmy's face as he stares at the shattered safety glass a storm brewing in his eyes all right you wanna dance let's dance act four we're tight on curving concrete this scanning skateboard twins carbon grind inside a concrete half pipe these guys are [ __ ] awesome cal zooms up past the lip and hangs suspended in the air for a gut-wrenching moment he rushes back down and comes to a scraping stop he saw something up there trouble lars pulls up next to his brother and follows his gaze up too a figure looming above it's jimmy a man on a mission hey fellas we got business how'd you find us they step out of the half pipe and we widen to reveal we're at exterior municipal skate park skaters roll back and forth yeah who wouldn't look for skateboarders here i know it's kind of eerie right come on give me 30 seconds and we're square you owe me that much for the windshield right it could be the most profitable 30 seconds of your lives profitable lars and cow glanced at each other off the twins cautious but definitely intrigued we time cut a couple minutes later the boys listen ready to take off in an instant as jimmy makes his pitch there's nothing of the carnival barker tim now he's almost missed the eye i want to tell you about a young guy about your age he lived a long way from here in a town called cicero illinois and in cicero he was the man when he strolled by all the corner boys would give him the high five all the finest babes would smile him and hope that he would smile back jimmy they called him slip and jimmy and everybody wanted to be his friend slip and jimmy what kind of name is that okay i'll tell you now the winners in cicero now their murder you boys growing up out here in the golden west you don't know i'm talking cold that'll freeze a snot right in your nose talking wind that cuts through your coat and carves you up like a ginsu knife truth is most folks in cicero were scared of winter but not jimmy jimmy spent all summer long waiting in september when september finally rolled around he'd feel that first cold wind sweeping off lake michigan and he knew it was coming what was he waiting for was it christmas was the kwanzaa better it was slip and fall season as soon as it was cold enough you could find a nice smooth patch of ice state street was good michigan avenue was better and he'd pick his spot and when it was nice and busy he'd step out on the ice and wham he biff it so hard people come running from five blocks away yeah but did he collect did he collect jimmy had it dialed in one good fall he'd make six or eight grand easy that'd keep him in old milwaukee and maui wowie right through labor day eight grand no lie eight grand i look at you guys and i see potential skateboards a nice wrinkle makes it a year-round gig and clearly you can take a header but i gotta ask you your best day ever would you clear 6 30. 630 bucks for one fall no that was two oof two hits in a day even young as you are that's gotta hurt that okay i got a job for you how's two grandson two grand one hit one hit plus you get to learn from the best off the twins they're in we find ourselves exterior the kettleman

preoccupied mrs kettleman heads over to our sable wagon electrified jimmy dials to sell two minute warning we cut to the mini mall new angle on lars station near a stop sign lars eyes the oncoming traffic while he talks in a cell with jimmy got it he hangs up raises two fingers to his brother we're on tension building these guys may be scammers but they take their work very seriously we rack back to cal he begins stretching with lars eyes on the traffic in the distance rounding a corner the brown mercury sable approaches lars flash has a heads up gesture to cow jumps on his board slides up the street towards his brother as he passes cal the boy's fist bump lara scrapes to a stop behind calabrese is his camcorder he hits the record button eyes narrowing cal rolls towards the intersection picking up speed judging distances getting the timing right as an art cal's a master the station wagon approaches the intersection slows and hangs her right we angle behind cal rushing toward the station wagon tight on cal's face he hits the front passenger side of the car and tumbles the world swirls behind him sky car street sky inside the station wagon cal's helmet whacks the windshield with the teeth rattling crunch new angle low in the pavement cal slams off the hood momentum grinding him over the blacktop he comes to a stop on the foreground the station wagon lurches to a stop playing his part as before lars rushes to his brother oh my god oh my god cal kelly you okay look at me buddy say something cute the freaked out victim right lara's glance is over but no one emerges from the car we're high and wide the station wagon idles 20 feet away from the two skaters the stillness is odd customers come out to see what's going on even kyle raises his head and cuts his eyes over to the wagon is she coming out or what because he's not hurt so bad come on already tires chirping the station wagon takes off like a bat out of hell this was not part of the plan what off the brothers gave it off the brother's gaping we cut inside the suzuki jimmy glantz is at his timex the skater should have called by now he lifts his cell but doesn't dial a moan of a moment of indecision should he call the boys suddenly his phone rings she took off on us she what it was textbook man we were diamonds but then she just took off wait she hit and run that's what i'm saying she bailed and wailed stay right there i'm coming to get you screw that man we're following her following her how we got our ways yo reveal city street the station wagon drives past a few car links behind a refrigerator delivery cube truck head in the same direction we pan with the truck to reveal that the twins are clinging to the back of the truck using it to pull them along marty mcfly style it's called sketching they stay low on the boards at speed while keeping the station wagon in sight cal peers around the edge of the truck the wagon is just ahead no way mrs k can tell they're following

one cuts out jimmy mcgill we find ourselves exterior of a well-tinted older two-story house on a tranquil street the station wagon pulls into the driveway the skateboarders roll out moments later as they hop off their boards lars slaps cow your leg oh yeah cow grabs hold of lars for the support and hobbles on his broken leg as they head across the front yard the sable's door opens and four rubber cane nubs hit the driveway a tiny grandmotherly woman pulls herself out she freezes at the side of the angry twins rushing their way we're going to call her abuelita in other words this ain't mrs

front door that's what i'm talking about cal leans on his brother as they lope into the house after abuelita the door closes behind them holding a beat something ominous about the prolonged moment off this we're back inside the esteem with jimmy he drives the streets near the last vision of the boys searching for his clients he's working out yet another alternate plan their parents are clients so when i heard mrs kettleman betsy what a surprise and what are you doing here serious oh my goodness oh no no this doesn't have to be like this find ourselves back outside abuelita's house the sun shines birds chirp jimmy's esteem cruises through and does not stop did he miss the house his steam quickly reverses back into the shot jimmy parks climbs out and a glance at the station wagon and discarded skateboards confirms this must be the place straightening his tie he charges up the front porch jimmy wraps on the door officer of the court silence from inside unless is that a tv he goes to the window tries peering through the lace curtains no dice jimmy wraps on the door again open up officer of the court open up in the name of the law side angle door opens good afternoon i'm a meaty fish shoves a pistol directly into jimmy's forehead he has time for a single terrified breath before another hand firmly grips him by the collar jimmy offers no resistance as he's tugged inside after a beat a man leans out of the doorway and calmly scans the street checking for witnesses as he turns to us that fight flattened nose shaved head holy [ __ ] he's the one the only tuko salamanca what

teaser scene one macro close and a

57
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:05,400
spiral which fills the frame

58
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,239
lazily spinning like a hypno disc we

59
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:10,159
realize it's a cinnabun and as we pull

60
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:12,639
away from it it gets coated with icing

61
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,919
and now we see there's a whole tray of

62
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,360
them waiting to be slathered with creamy

63
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,878
white goodness for indeed we are inside

64
00:02:16,878 --> 00:02:18,239
a cinnabon store

65
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:19,680
as a female employee puts the finishing

66
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,0
touches on these pastries another young

67
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,719
employee slides a tray into the oven we

68
00:02:24,0 --> 00:02:28,719
see macro close-ups coffee dripping

69
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:28,719
called heating elements etc and all of

70
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:30,400
this every image in the entire teaser is

71
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,639
shown in glorious black and white

72
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,318
the place is fairly busy with customers

73
00:02:34,318 --> 00:02:36,159
there's also a middle-aged manager

74
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,519
close on his name tag says jean

75
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:41,199
jean's got unhip glasses a walrus

76
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:42,878
mustache and dark thinning hair

77
00:02:42,878 --> 00:02:44,318
he goes about his work briskly and

78
00:02:44,318 --> 00:02:46,239
efficiently exuding neither personality

79
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:47,759
nor attitude

80
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:49,120
honestly we wouldn't give this man a

81
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,390
second glance except that we used to

82
00:02:51,390 --> 00:02:52,959
know him as saul goodman

83
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:54,239
we are looking at a fugitive from

84
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:56,800
justice exactly as predicted at the end

85
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:56,878
of the breaking bad

86
00:02:56,878 --> 00:02:58,800
saul now manages a cinnabon in omaha

87
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,0
nebraska

88
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,560
this is cut and dried stuff we're

89
00:03:02,0 --> 00:03:04,560
watching it's a day in the life of a

90
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:04,560
restaurant nothing more

91
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,800
we hear only snippets of conversation no

92
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,400
emotions on display neither happy nor

93
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,598
sad it's simply work

94
00:03:11,598 --> 00:03:13,199
helping out an employee gene expertly

95
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,390
packages an order to go handing it off

96
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:17,390
he double takes noticing something

97
00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:18,878
there's a customer sitting at a top way

98
00:03:18,878 --> 00:03:20,239
in the back of the store

99
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:22,318
and he's hard to tell through those

100
00:03:22,318 --> 00:03:24,800
glasses he's wearing but he seems to be

101
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,280
staring at jean

102
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,239
intently whatever gene's doing it ceases

103
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:30,800
he blinks and stares back

104
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,158
sunglasses rises to his feet and starts

105
00:03:32,158 --> 00:03:33,519
walking towards us

106
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:35,360
we creep in on gene who exhibits the

107
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,280
first hint of emotion we've witnessed

108
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
fear and though he tries to hide it it's

109
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,959
growing clearly the fugitive saul

110
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:42,639
goodman has just been recognized his

111
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,560
time on the run has reached an end

112
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,878
except sunglasses now walks right past

113
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:48,800
gene

114
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,519
gene's head swivels with this guy who

115
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:50,719
pads out the door and waves to a friend

116
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:52,479
outside we suddenly realize the guy's

117
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,800
stare only seemed to be directed at gene

118
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:54,560
it never

119
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,759
actually was gene gives a secret sigh of

120
00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:58,799
relief

121
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:01,519
and willie's his heart beat back to 140.

122
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:02,959
again he's on autopilot back to the

123
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,878
grind

124
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:08,0
scene two we cut exterior of a townhouse

125
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:10,400
complex at night cookie cutter

126
00:04:08,0 --> 00:04:10,400
townhouses

127
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:10,400
depressing this is where larry from

128
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,759
three's company went to die

129
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:18,0
inside the apartment downstairs at night

130
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,160
ice cubes clunk into a highball glass

131
00:04:18,0 --> 00:04:22,160
dram buoy and some sort of off-brand

132
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160
scotch gets poured making a rusty nail

133
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,519
instead of a twist of lemon there's an

134
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:25,400
unceremonious squirt from one of those

135
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,360
little lemon-shaped juice bottles

136
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,199
jean slurps the excess off his drink

137
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,639
walks into the living room

138
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,0
this place has zero personality oakwood

139
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,360
vibe

140
00:04:34,0 --> 00:04:37,360
gene plops down on the sectional fires

141
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,360
up his flat screen he channel serves

142
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,720
finding something he can tolerate

143
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,790
sipping is rusty now and staring

144
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:42,319
straight through the tv a thought

145
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:43,519
eventually strikes him

146
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:45,439
he sets down his drink rises heads for

147
00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:47,439
the stairs but before he goes he pauses

148
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:48,560
to check the window blinds

149
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,560
their clothes tight complete privacy

150
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,120
black frame door opens and light floods

151
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,759
in we realize we're in a closet

152
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,120
jean neels to pull a couple of familiar

153
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,879
suitcases out of the way we'll recall he

154
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:01,918
had these when he took his leave in

155
00:05:01,918 --> 00:05:04,790
episode 515 of breaking bad

156
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:05,759
with the suitcases removed a hatch is

157
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:07,199
revealed cut into the drywall at the

158
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:08,160
back of the closet

159
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,0
now gene removes from it a dented old

160
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,439
shoe box

161
00:05:12,0 --> 00:05:15,439
steel kneeling gene opens the box and we

162
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,439
get a glimpse inside as he sifts through

163
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:16,240
its contents

164
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
there are papers some old photos a fat

165
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,918
stack of mexican pesos

166
00:05:19,918 --> 00:05:21,600
there's an old tin band-aid box that

167
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,279
rattles like a half full of pebbles

168
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,319
and lastly there's an unmarked vhs tape

169
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:28,319
this is what gene came for he cradles it

170
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,319
in his hands

171
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:31,839
back downstairs at night the tape gets

172
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,439
pressed into a vcr gene

173
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:34,800
backs in the frame settling into the

174
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,380
sofa never taking his eyes off the tv

175
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,319
he feels around in front of it for his

176
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,879
rusty nail we never once see what's on

177
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:41,759
the tv screen

178
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,360
but over a bouncy musical jingle whose

179
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,0
refrain is better called saw

180
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,800
we hear hey you did you know you have

181
00:05:48,0 --> 00:05:50,800
rights

182
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800
my name's saul goodman attorney in law

183
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,240
and i'm itching for a fight with

184
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,160
prosecutors judges the police

185
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,639
anyone who's out to ruin your day so if

186
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:57,759
you're in trouble

187
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,610
better call saul

188
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:04,319
[Applause]

189
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:05,680
this is the first in a series of

190
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
15-second commercials a second one

191
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,560
please

192
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,879
and another and another the whole time

193
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:12,319
we stay on gene who stares at them

194
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:16,0
intently

195
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:18,959
but gene shows no emotion no nostalgia

196
00:06:16,0 --> 00:06:18,959
no regret not pride

197
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:18,959
his expression is unreadable as he

198
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:20,879
watches yet there's one subtle detail we

199
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:21,759
may note

200
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:23,360
which is that gradually a bit of color

201
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,959
spews into this black and white image

202
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:26,720
it's the light from the unseen tv it

203
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,160
flickers across jean's face in blue

204
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,439
yellow and red

205
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,380
off these colors growing brighter more

206
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,279
vibrant as dead eye gene sifts his

207
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,399
drinking stairs

208
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,680
act one interior courthouse courtroom

209
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,680
albuquerque city still in the frame

210
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,279
we're back in color

211
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,959
tilt down to reveal a long-faced judge

212
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:46,720
sitting on his bench

213
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,240
peering up at the ceiling staring at

214
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,790
nothing in particular he slowly rotates

215
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:51,680
in his chair left to right right to left

216
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,199
we hear the squeak of the chair

217
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,199
that squeak is the loudest thing we hear

218
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:56,879
even though the courtroom is packed

219
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:58,800
jurors the alternates in the jury box

220
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,478
one of them coughs another shift center

221
00:07:00,478 --> 00:07:01,120
seat

222
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,439
another idly scratches his ear someone

223
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:04,720
in the crowded visitor section checks

224
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,519
his watch

225
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,519
somebody else's stomach rumbles the

226
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,380
court reporter examines a fingernail

227
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:10,240
then reaches for her big goal

228
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800
takes a sip the lead prosecutor removes

229
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,680
his readers

230
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,199
picks out a piece of sleep from his eyes

231
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,360
frowns at it on the tip of his pinky

232
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,439
and beside him we see a second chair

233
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,120
seem to be taking notes

234
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720
however a closer look reveals this young

235
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,399
woman is actually drawing a barbarian

236
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,879
riding a unicorn

237
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:28,319
over at the defense table set three

238
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,560
defendants they're clean cut white guys

239
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,160
they look innocent they also look

240
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,680
nervous as currently they don't have a

241
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,879
defense attorney

242
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,639
the defendants glance sidelined to one

243
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,959
another wondering where he is

244
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,560
we hear a creek the judge rotates

245
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,478
towards the bailiff gives them a shrug

246
00:07:42,478 --> 00:07:44,319
the bale of nods rises to its feet and

247
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,918
exits

248
00:07:45,918 --> 00:07:47,918
we cut to men's room hands are split

249
00:07:47,918 --> 00:07:49,519
apart pressed against a white tile wall

250
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:50,800
a man is alone in here

251
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,790
standing as if he's assuming the

252
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:54,790
position in order to be frisked

253
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:55,839
actually he's at a urinal relieving

254
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:57,918
himself we don't get a good look at him

255
00:07:57,918 --> 00:07:59,279
at first we're mostly on his back he

256
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:00,560
seems to be murmuring something under

257
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,120
his breath

258
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,720
whatever he's saying we can barely hear

259
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,380
it remember

260
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:10,319

this particular moment we're in 2002

267
00:08:23,598 --> 00:08:25,360
saul is a ways off in the future and

268
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,639
jimmy is still going by the name he was

269
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:27,598
born with

270
00:08:27,598 --> 00:08:30,0
the door opens behind him and the

271
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,519
bailiff sticks his head into the men's

272
00:08:30,0 --> 00:08:33,519
room he gives a little whistle

273
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:33,519
says you're on jimmy glances over his

274
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:34,719
shoulder and nods

courtroom black frame then we reveal the

courtroom jimmy walking through

283
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,519
like elvis taking the stage at the

284
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,240
international hotel all eyes are on him

gentlemen

287
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,200
you remember 19 because let me tell you

288
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,600
the juices are flowing those red

289
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,919
corpuscles are core bustling the grass

290
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:06,799
is green and

291
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,759
soft and summer's gonna last forever

292
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:10,799
remember

293
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,600
yeah you do but if you're being honest

294
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,879
really honest

295
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:16,399
you'll also recall you had an

296
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,639
underdeveloped 19 year old brain i mean

297
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,480
that thing was the size of a circus

298
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,360
peanut

299
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,839
me personally i was well let's just say

300
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:25,278
if i was held accountable for every

301
00:09:25,278 --> 00:09:28,399
stupid decision i made when i was 19

302
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,390
oh boy and i bet if i were in church

303
00:09:31,390 --> 00:09:33,519
right now i'd get a big amen

304
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,240
which brings us to these three now these

305
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,639
three

306
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,159
knuckleheads and i'm sorry boys but

307
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:39,839
that's that's what you are

308
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,800
they did a dumb thing we're not denying

309
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:42,879
that

310
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:44,799
however i would like to point out two

311
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:46,480
salient facts in fact one

312
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,0
nobody got hurt not a soul very

313
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,600
important to keep that in mind fact

314
00:09:50,0 --> 00:09:53,600
two though the prosecution keeps banning

315
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:53,600
the term

316
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
criminal trespass mr spinazo the

317
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,679
property owner admitted to us that he

318
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,390
keeps most portions

319
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:00,879
of his business open to the public day

320
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:02,780
and night so

321
00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:05,200
trespassing i mean dave that's that's

322
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,639
kind of a reach isn't it

323
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,759
huh here's what i know these three young

324
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:10,159
men

325
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,278
near honor students all

326
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:15,120
were feeling their oats one saturday

327
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,0
night and they

328
00:10:16,958 --> 00:10:23,519
well i i don't know

329
00:10:20,0 --> 00:10:23,519
look call me crazy but i don't think

330
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:23,519
they deserve to have their bright

331
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:24,559
futures ruined

332
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120
for what amounts to a minute momentary

333
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,799
never to be repeated

334
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,600
lapse of judgment ladies and gentlemen

335
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
you're bigger than that

336
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,0
jesus jimmy is good he's confident

337
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,799
folksy and genuine he's passionate and

338
00:10:38,0 --> 00:10:40,799
convincing

339
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:40,799
his three clients smile hopefully things

340
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,159
are looking up

341
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,360
except why is the jury so very deadpan

342
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,600
same goes for the judge didn't any of

343
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,278
that land on these people

344
00:10:49,278 --> 00:10:51,360
the prosecutor rises to his feet makes

345
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,320
his rebuttal

346
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,780
he crosses to an av cart tucked in the

347
00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:56,240
corner rolls the car to where the jury

348
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,759
can see it pushes the tape into the deck

349
00:10:57,759 --> 00:10:59,759
and the tv screen goes blue

350
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,720
and now up comes a homemade video two of

351
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,159
our young defendants are visible in it

352
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:05,600
it's handheld and shaky and seems to

353
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,0
take place in a professional laboratory

354
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:11,440
of some sort

355
00:11:08,0 --> 00:11:11,440
the guys keep their voices low so as not

356
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,440
to get caught they're giggly and dopey

357
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,390
proudly documenting their exploits on

358
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:14,958
camera and what are these exploits you

359
00:11:14,958 --> 00:11:15,839
ask

360
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:17,440
this is the embalming room of a funeral

361
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,399
home and one of the guys hacksaw in hand

362
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,480
is sawing the head off an elderly male

363
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,519
corpse

364
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,639
oh to be 19 again

365
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,399
and now as the head comes loose from the

366
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,639
hacksaw hacksaw boy dangles it by its

367
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:34,799
white hair

368
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:38,0
most jurors avert their eyes having seen

369
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,759
this all before the prosecutor leans

370
00:11:38,0 --> 00:11:41,759
against the cart with his fingers laced

371
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:41,759
staring off the floor this is the

372
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,200
entirety of his rebuttal

373
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,240
he doesn't even need to say a word dude

374
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,600
dude stick your wang in the throat hole

375
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,120
the three real life defendants shift

376
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,390
uncomfortably in their seat jimmy gives

377
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:54,639
them a fake little nod and a wave off

378
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,720
it's going to be fine yeah sure it is

379
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,0
back in the courthouse in the chief

380
00:12:00,0 --> 00:12:03,600
clerk's office little stuffed animals

381
00:12:02,0 --> 00:12:04,879
are proudly displayed on the desk of the

382
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,879
court's chief clerk

383
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:06,399
she's staring up through hooded eyes at

384
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,559
jimmy who is in mid-rant waving a check

385
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,559

386
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,958

407
00:12:49,278 --> 00:12:51,440
find a way's in a parking lot pissed

408
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,200
jimmy headed for a pearlescent white

409
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:53,759
cadillac

410
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,919
of course we remember his famous car

411
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:57,390
whoops he doesn't

412
00:12:57,390 --> 00:12:59,120
own that caddy just yet so we adjust to

413
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,480
the vehicle part next to it

414
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,360
a mid-90s suzuki esteem and yes as the

415
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,839
name perversely implies it's a [ __ ] box

416
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:09,120
jimmy plops his briefcase on the

417
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,799
suzuki's roof digs for his keys as he

418
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,320
does the cell phone rings jimmy checks

419
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,519
the readout on his cell

420
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:18,0
and his anger evaporates instantly gets

421
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,200
replaced with nervous hope

422
00:13:18,0 --> 00:13:21,200
fumbling to answer the call causes to

423
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,200
collect himself when he speaks

424
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,240

00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,360
barely remembering his briefcase on the

441
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,399
roof as the car tears off

442
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,780
we find ourselves at a cashier booth a

443
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:03,600
guard arm blocking the exit as the

444
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,198
esteem comes to a quick stop in front of

445
00:14:05,198 --> 00:14:05,440
it

446
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,879

there's another vehicle behind jimmy now

484
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,198
blocking him from backing up no way is

485
00:15:19,198 --> 00:15:20,879

lifts the guard arm

490
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,600
great job employee of the month right

491
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720
there

492
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
we find ourselves at loyola's cafe scene

493
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,559
12 were in a booth close coffee gets

494
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,240
stirred by a woman's manicured hand her

495
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,780
other hand rests atop her husbands

496
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:43,919
i'm just fuzzy as to why you think he

497
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:45,360
needs a lawyer

498
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480
we reveal craig and betsy kettleman i

499
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,278
mean craig

500
00:15:49,278 --> 00:15:50,879
the way you run your office beyond

501
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,480
reproach beyond reproach

502
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,639
i'm a he's a stickler with the money

503
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:56,780
he's definitely a stickler

504
00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:57,679
he's certainly not guilty of something

505
00:15:57,679 --> 00:15:59,519
certainly not he's innocent of any

506
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,198
wrongdoing that much is clear to me i

507
00:16:01,198 --> 00:16:01,839
don't

508
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:03,600
i don't go looking for guilty people to

509
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,198
represent

510
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:08,320
geez who needs that aggravation right

511
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,919
look i only know what i read in the

512
00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:11,679
paper but here's the thing

513
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,519
typically when money goes missing from

514
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:15,390
the county treasury and

515
00:16:15,390 --> 00:16:18,958
what's the figure 1.6 million

516
00:16:18,958 --> 00:16:20,559
it's an accounting discrepancy a

517
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:22,240
discrepancy absolutely

518
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,919
so typically when that happens the

519
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,159
police look at the treasurer

520
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,759
and since that person is you know uh

521
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:31,759
yeah i just think maybe a little pro

522
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,320
activity may be in order

523
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,0
i think i'd look guilty if i hired a

524
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:42,159
lawyer actually it's

525
00:16:38,0 --> 00:16:42,159
getting arrested that makes people look

526
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:42,159
guilty even the innocent ones

527
00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:43,679
and let me tell you innocent people get

528
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:45,198
arrested all the time

529
00:16:45,198 --> 00:16:46,720
and they find themselves in a little

530
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,559
room with a detective who acts like he's

531
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:49,600
their best friend

532
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,159
talk to me he says help me clear this

533
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:53,839
thing up you don't need a lawyer only

534
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:56,639
guilty people need lawyers and boom

535
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,0
that's where it all goes south

536
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,318
that's when you want someone in your

537
00:17:00,0 --> 00:17:04,318
corner someone will fight tooth and nail

538
00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,318
someone who will in fact already have

539
00:17:04,318 --> 00:17:06,780
your defense strategy mapped out

540
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:09,519
in advance lawyers huh we're like health

541
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:10,240
insurance

542
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480
you hope you'll never need it but man oh

543
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,798
man not having it

544
00:17:16,798 --> 00:17:21,380
so how would we proceed if

545
00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:23,359
we decided to uh jimmy's way ahead of

546
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,880
him he produces a one-page legal

547
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,400
document which he lays before them as

548
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,439
well as a pen

549
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:29,380
this is a letter of engagement very

550
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:30,720
simple straightforward

551
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,400
please by all means read it closely if

552
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,480
you sign it i can get to work on that

553
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
strategy of ours this very afternoon

554
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,0
mr kettleman iza's wife who scans the

555
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,679
letter and seems to see nothing wrong

556
00:17:40,0 --> 00:17:44,0
with it mr kettleman picks up the pin

557
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:46,558
we're close on jimmy for whom time slows

558
00:17:44,0 --> 00:17:46,558
down

559
00:17:45,380 --> 00:17:46,558
jimmy plays it cool of course but for

560
00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:48,790
him signing mr kettleman would be like

561
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:49,839
ahab catching the white whale

562
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,400
he holds his breath jamie's pov the pin

563
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,640
clicks open in dreamy slow motion

564
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,640
in this specialty ultra macro shot the

565
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,759
huge ballpoint tip

566
00:17:57,759 --> 00:18:00,160
lazily descends to the paper it impacts

567
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,359
the dotted line leaving an

568
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,160
ink spot this is it this is the golden

569
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,679
moment when jimmy lands his first big

570
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:07,679
client it's really happening until

571
00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:11,759

586

kettleman's exit the restaurant

587
00:18:42,0 --> 00:18:45,839
alone in the booth he slurps his coffee

588
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,839
and glares into space [ __ ]

589
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:47,919
he turns and peers out the window as pov

590
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:49,599
we see the kettleman's round their

591
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,679
modest vehicle a late 80s mercury stable

592
00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:52,480
station wagon

593
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,319
and we can't hear the discussion but mrs

594
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,400
kettleman's body language is very clear

595
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,759
no we're not signing with the very first

596
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,679
lawyer we meet she climbs behind the

597
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,200
wheel of disabled very much the driver

598
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,640
in this relationship

599
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,798
jimmy sighs and he's not ready to give

600
00:19:04,798 --> 00:19:06,558
up yet fishing out his wallet to pay the

601
00:19:06,558 --> 00:19:08,839
bill we see he's got six bucks to his

602
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,240
name

603
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,759
we now cut to a suburban street in the

604
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,679
afternoon we see the suzuki esteem

605
00:19:13,679 --> 00:19:15,919
zoom pass we cut inside and jimmy holds

606
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:16,960
the phone to his ear he's in mid

607
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,480
conversation balancing a credit card

608
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,919
atop the wheel and squinting to read it

609
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:22,200
while he drives

610
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,319

bam some skateboarders come flashing out

624
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,519
of nowhere and slams across the hood of

625
00:19:57,519 --> 00:19:58,240
jimmy's car

626
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,279
he cracks the windshield before he

627
00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:00,880
tumbles out of sight the suzuki slides

628
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,0
to a stop oh [ __ ]

629
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,519
jimmy sits here motionless for a second

630
00:20:04,0 --> 00:20:07,519
breathing fast he just had the piss

631
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:07,519
scared out of him

632
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:10,0
driver's door swings open and jimmy

633
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,119
climbs out dreading what i'll find

634
00:20:10,0 --> 00:20:13,119
nearby on the pavement lies a young dude

635
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,119
who is groaning softly this is cal as

636
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,839

637
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,599
impotently wonders how to tend to him oh

00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:16,880
my god oh my god

639
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,558
a second lenky redheaded skateboarder

640
00:20:18,558 --> 00:20:19,919
lars comes gliding in a frame with a

641
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,359
late 90s camcorder in hand and it

642
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,880
quickly becomes apparent to us

643
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,640
that lars is a dead ringer for the guy

644
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,159
moaning away on the asphalt

645
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:28,790

00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:20,880
anxiety seems to ebb away

680
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,159
it gets replaced with a kind of

681
00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:24,558
inscrutable watchfulness finally in his

00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:35,679
murmur of vietnamese being spoken

00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:37,599
we're in a strip mall nail salon four or

747
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:29,919
the salon we're in a rear storage

748
00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:31,919
hallway as jimmy passes through

749
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:33,200
area is stacked high with business

750
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,880
supplies and a fluorescent tube with a

751
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,480
faulty ballast flickers overhead

752
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,790
when he reaches a plane scuffed door

753
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:39,839
mark james and mcgill esquire a law

754
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:40,960
corporation

755
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,359
we realize this is the office that jimmy

756
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,839
has

757
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,159
back in jimmy's office it's dark jimmy

758
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:49,440
flicks on the lights cluttered and

759
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,0
depressing

760
00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:55,759
that about sums this place up the office

761
00:23:52,0 --> 00:23:55,759
is barely big enough for one person

762
00:23:54,790 --> 00:23:55,759
jimmy shuts the door behind him now that

763
00:23:55,759 --> 00:24:00,0
he's alone his smile fades

764
00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:02,240
christ what a day he pulls loose the

765
00:24:00,0 --> 00:24:02,240
knot on his tie

766
00:24:00,798 --> 00:24:02,240
scooches sideways to the narrow path to

767
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,790
his desk plopping down behind it here

768
00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:05,919
there's a dated old multi-line desk

769
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:06,319
phone

770
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,480
jimmy punches the voicemail button you

771
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,759
have zero

772
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,720
messages jimmy isn't surprised business

773
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,519
is slow

774
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:15,200
he considers and wriggles his fingers at

775
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,519
the phone it's as if he's casting a

776
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:18,960
magical spell on it compelling it to

777
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,519
ring

778
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:21,919
it doesn't jimmy gives up sifts through

779
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:23,919
his mail close angles nothing but bill

780
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:26,159
after bill after bill he stops shuffling

781
00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:28,558
when he comes across an envelope

782
00:24:28,558 --> 00:24:30,720
very expensive volume the return address

783
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,400
is that of albuquerque law firm hamlin

784
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,790
hamlin and mcgill

785
00:24:34,790 --> 00:24:36,558
jimmy considers guardedly hopeful he

786
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:37,599
slits the envelope

787
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:38,960
and inside there's a cover letter

788
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,880
there's also a cashier's check jimmy

789
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,119
studies it for a long time

790
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,640
the check is written to him personally

791
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,839
and it's made out in the amount of

792
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:48,558
twenty six thousand dollars holy [ __ ]

793
00:24:48,558 --> 00:24:52,0
we've seen how broke jimmy is we know

794
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:54,480
he's in dire financial straits

795
00:24:52,0 --> 00:24:56,0
now hallelujah but jimmy is not

796
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,759
overjoyed about this sudden financial

797
00:24:56,0 --> 00:24:59,759
windfall

798
00:24:57,919 --> 00:24:59,759
actually seems to piss him off to the

799
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:01,359
degree that he now tears the check in

800
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,0
half

801
00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:06,0

804
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:11,278
lighting it up

805
00:25:11,278 --> 00:25:12,798
jimmy waits for an elevator in place we

806
00:25:12,798 --> 00:25:14,558
don't recognize it's a new day jimmy is

807
00:25:14,558 --> 00:25:16,640
wearing his best acrylic blend suit

808
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,480
he's alone here taking a deep breath

809
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,839
stealing himself he glances over to a

810
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:21,440
trash can which stands nearby

811
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,200
its shiny metal side is prominently

812
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,119
dented jimmy stares at it lost in

813
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,839
thought

814
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:27,919
ding the arrival of the elevator snaps

815
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:29,599

819
00:25:34,159 --> 00:25:38,790
universe strolling out of the elevator

their eyes

835
00:25:58,319 --> 00:25:59,919

the room from us at the far end of this

846
00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:24,0
mile long conference table sits howard

847
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:27,599
hamlin

848
00:26:24,0 --> 00:26:27,599
and six of his junior partners they've

849
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:27,599
got coffee and danishes and are midway

850
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:29,359
through an informal morning meeting

851
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,880
jimmy walks right in without knocking

852
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,400
finding himself alone at the other end

853
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,240
of this ridiculously long table

854
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,679
he throws out his arms embellished his

855
00:26:35,679 --> 00:26:37,679
best ned baity impersonation you have

856
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,558
meddled with the primal forces of nature

857
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:41,839
mr hamlin

858
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,679
and i won't have it way in the distance

859
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:47,359
hamline and his juniors sit blinking and

860
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,200
staring at him they're not big fans of

861
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,200
the movie network apparently

862
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,278
a young female lawyer kim was already on

863
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:54,880
the phone when jimmy arrived into it low

864
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,759
and flat

865
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,319
it's okay brenda we got it sorry it's

866
00:26:58,319 --> 00:26:59,119
this table

867
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,790
something just comes over me what can we

868
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:03,278
do for you jimmy

869
00:27:03,278 --> 00:27:05,380
jimmy plops down in an empty chair he

870
00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:06,319
reaches in his jacket pulls out a

871
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:07,759
handful of confetti which used to be

872
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,599
that big cashier's check he sprinkles it

873
00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:10,480
on the tabletop

874
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,319
you can tell me what this 26 000

875
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:14,159
supposed to be for

876
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:16,640
it's money for chuck isn't that what you

877
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,679
wanted

878
00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:20,558
a measly 26 grand jesus you're like

879
00:27:20,558 --> 00:27:22,240
peter menuet with the indians throw in

880
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,319
some beads and shells while you're at it

881
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:27,119
it's a start there'll be more unless

882
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,798
you're just going to tear them all up

883
00:27:28,798 --> 00:27:30,558
and why was the chuck made a check made

884
00:27:30,558 --> 00:27:32,558
out to me why not chuck

885
00:27:32,558 --> 00:27:35,440
can he make his way to the bank i just

886
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,720
assumed it would be the best money to go

887
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,759
through you

888
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,919
but we'll do it any way you want see if

889
00:27:39,919 --> 00:27:41,599
i didn't know any better i'd say this

890
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,319
was some kind of half-assed bribe

891
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:45,839
where you throw a little money at me and

892
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:47,519
the sad hope i'll

893
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:49,200
somehow forget what you owe my client

894
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,558
wow

895
00:27:50,558 --> 00:27:53,119
no not even remotely correct this thing

896
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,480
isn't going away howard

897
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,240
what chuck did for this firm and damn

898
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,679
near single-handedly

899
00:27:57,679 --> 00:27:59,839
one-third of this place belongs to him

900
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:00,880
what do you got here

901
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,798
15 chairs five of these chairs are

902
00:28:02,798 --> 00:28:04,798
chucks three light fixtures

903
00:28:04,798 --> 00:28:07,359
you'll take the middle one six danishes

904
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,720
you can have all the danishes you want

905
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,960
jimmy no no they're chuck's danishes

906
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,380
oh and chuck's not greedy he'll only

907
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:14,159
take two

908
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:17,839
plus um 17 million dollars

909
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:19,278
you know somewhere in that ballpark

910
00:28:19,278 --> 00:28:20,720
we'll know once we get the accountants

911
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,640
in here poking around

912
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,119
in the meantime no more penny any checks

913
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,398
designed to make it look like chuck

914
00:28:26,398 --> 00:28:27,359
still works here

915
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,679
he doesn't and he never will again and

916
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:31,519
it's time to do right by him and cash

917
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:32,640
him out

918
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,640
so these are chuck's wishes you're

919
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,679
conveying

920
00:28:35,679 --> 00:28:37,919
yeah this is what's best for him and he

921
00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:39,278
has personally stated to you that

922
00:28:39,278 --> 00:28:42,480
it's his wish to withdraw from the firm

923
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
you see that would surprise me well it's

924
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,119
been nearly a year since he set foot in

925
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,319
here i'm looking out for his best

926
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:49,839
interest so am i

927
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:51,519
i for one believe he's going to lick

928
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,839
this thing until then his office is just

929
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:55,359
as he left it his secretary's still in

930
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:56,480
the payroll

931
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,919
if chuck can call this an extended

932
00:28:57,919 --> 00:28:59,679
sabbatical so can we

933
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:03,119
he's that important to us you know what

934
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:04,640

935
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,480
going to love you howard you're so down

936
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640
to earth and relatable

937
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,319
jimmy rises to his feet heads back the

938
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:11,679
way he came when he reaches the far end

939
00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:13,200
of the table he wants more bellows

940
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,119
theatrically and you

941
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:18,960

942
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,159
ned beatty network for christ's sake

943
00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:24,159

944
00:29:24,159 --> 00:29:25,599
we're back in the lobby close on the

945
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,679
call button a finger stabbing it

946
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:29,200
once more jimmy waits for the elevator

947
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,380
this time to get the hell out of there

948
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:32,880
the moment he has a bit of privacy as

949
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,960
such we get to see his true face

950
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,759
he's not as cool as a cucumber

951
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:38,960
apparently the meeting didn't go as

952
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,519
hooked

953
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:41,278
jimmy is beaten and he knows it here

954
00:29:41,278 --> 00:29:42,640
comes hamlin headed our way

955
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,480
jimmy snaps out of his phone hamlin

956
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,319
offers him a big manila envelope fat and

957
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:46,720
heavy

958
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,919
almost forgot this month's filings

959
00:29:49,919 --> 00:29:51,759

960
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:54,0
listening in there chuck doesn't work

961
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,380

964
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:59,519
no stop trying to pawn that [ __ ] off on

965
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:00,720
him

966
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
you know sometimes in our line of work

967
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,790
we get so

968
00:30:04,790 --> 00:30:06,880
caught up with the idea of winning and

969
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:13,599
we forget to listen to our hearts

970
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:16,159
give chuck my love will you hamlin walks

971
00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:17,599
off heads for a nearby office

972
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,720
jimmy glowers after him [ __ ] wait

973
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,960
it'd get worse for as hamline opens the

974
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,398
door to this office we catch a glimpse

975
00:30:24,398 --> 00:30:25,440
of the two clients who are waiting

976
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,558
inside for him

977
00:30:26,558 --> 00:30:28,398
yep you guessed it craig and betsy

978
00:30:28,398 --> 00:30:30,960
kettleman smiling at hamlin they greet

979
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,480
each other warmly then the door shuts

980
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,319
and we're left out here in the cold

981
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:36,159
the wind goes out of jimmy he presses

982
00:30:36,159 --> 00:30:37,359
his forehead against the wall

983
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:40,480
jabbing the elevator button again find

984
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,440
ourselves back on the

985
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,919
lower level elevator landing ding jimmy

986
00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:45,599
steps off the elevator into the parking

987
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:46,319
garage

988
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,240
is he okay not really because once he's

989
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,440
alone down here

990
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,960
he kicks the [ __ ] out of that familiar

991
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,480
dented trash can

992
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,319
bang bang bang it dawns on us why the

993
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,880
trash can is dented in the first place

994
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,398
having finally managed to kick over the

995
00:30:58,398 --> 00:30:59,919
can he stands here with his hands on his

996
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:00,319
knees

997
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:02,159
panting for breath and now we pull back

998
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,240
to reveal something jimmy can't see

999
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,599
just around the corner is that young

1000
00:31:05,599 --> 00:31:07,278
female lawyer from the conference room

1001
00:31:07,278 --> 00:31:09,759
kim she's leaning against a wall smoking

1002
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:10,720
a cigarette

1003
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,798
oddly all that ruckus just now didn't

1004
00:31:12,798 --> 00:31:14,720
alarm her didn't make her look to see

1005
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,759
what's going on either

1006
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:17,359
she's simply smoking and staring into

1007
00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:19,679
space jimmy wanders out of the elevator

1008
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:21,200
landing headed for the parked cars

1009
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,720
but when he comes across kim he's

1010
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,480
neither startled or embarrassed

1011
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,798
instead he joins her he too leans

1012
00:31:26,798 --> 00:31:28,880
against the wall staring into space

1013
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,480
after a moment he takes a cigarette from

1014
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,960
her lips borrowing it for a puff or two

1015
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,119
jimmy blows smoke in size he places the

1016
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:38,0
cigarette back in kim's mouth finally

1017
00:31:36,798 --> 00:31:42,319
looking at her

1018
00:31:38,0 --> 00:31:42,319
couldn't you just no i can't jimmy

1019
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,319
figured as much

1020
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:46,0
he doesn't argue kim stubs her butt in

1021
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,790
the ashtray smoke breaks over she

1022
00:31:46,0 --> 00:31:50,790
exits without a word jimmy doesn't watch

1023
00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:50,790
her go he stays another beat then

1024
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:52,880
wanders out of frame headed for his car

1025
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,240
back to act three

1026
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,558
upscale cul-de-sac at night headlights

1027
00:31:58,558 --> 00:31:59,278
flare

1028
00:31:59,278 --> 00:32:01,440
jimmy's esteem turns a corner he drives

1029
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,119
past well-tinted houses their lights

1030
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:04,798
gleaming warmly in the night

1031
00:32:04,798 --> 00:32:07,380
and pulls into the driveway of the only

1032
00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,359
house that's completely dark

1033
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:10,880
like the neighbors this place is roomy

1034
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,380
and nicely designed but not a single

1035
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:14,790
light shines

1036
00:32:14,790 --> 00:32:16,640
the house seems untended deserted a

1037
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,440
rotten tooth

1038
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,919
and a healthy mouth jimmy pulls two

1039
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:21,440
bulging plastic heavy bags and some

1040
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,720
groceries out of the trunk

1041
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,240
he tucks some newspapers under one arm

1042
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,759
goes to the mailbox and removes a stack

1043
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:26,798
of mail

1044
00:32:26,798 --> 00:32:29,200
and now he does something very odd in a

1045
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,880
routine he's followed 100 times jimmy

1046
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,640
places his watch key fob and cell phone

1047
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,839
into the mailbox

1048
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:35,359
with everything electronic or battery

1049
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,278
power hidden away he lifts the bags and

1050
00:32:37,278 --> 00:32:38,558
heads to the walkway

1051
00:32:38,558 --> 00:32:40,159
at the kitchen threshold jimmy makes a

1052
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:41,519
point of touching the drain pipe before

1053
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:42,640
unlocking the door

1054
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,240
we hear the tick tick tick of a manual

1055
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880
typewriter echoing from inside

1056
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,640
we segue to the kitchen as jimmy enters

1057
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,240
a voice calls from the next room

1058
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,119
you ground yourself yeah like the rest

1059
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:54,398
of the house the kitchen is illuminated

1060
00:32:54,398 --> 00:32:56,790
by quietly hissing propane lanterns

1061
00:32:56,790 --> 00:32:58,159
in other words no electric lights

1062
00:32:58,159 --> 00:32:59,839
lantern lights flicker over jagged gaps

1063
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:01,359
where once did the stove refrigerator

1064
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:02,319
and microwave

1065
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,790
jimmy opens a frat party igloo-sized

1066
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:06,159
cooler packaged food floats and melted

1067
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:06,480
ice

1068
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,0
he leans down turns about water girl

1069
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,200
goes from the cooler into a pvc

1070
00:33:10,0 --> 00:33:13,200
pipe that runs the outside world through

1071
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
a small ragged hole in the wall jimmy

1072
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,798
dumps the hefty bags in the cooler

1073
00:33:14,798 --> 00:33:16,960
turns out they're full of ice cubes he

1074
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,398
closes the cooler and dries his hands on

1075
00:33:18,398 --> 00:33:18,960
a towel

1076
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,398
raising a lantern jimmy heads deeper

1077
00:33:20,398 --> 00:33:22,480
into the house as he does we

1078
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,319
pass flex conduit snaking from gashes in

1079
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:26,159
the sheetrock the tick tick tick of the

1080
00:33:26,159 --> 00:33:27,839
manual typewriter gets louder as jimmy

1081
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:28,798
enters

1082
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:30,960
we reveal the man himself charles mcgill

1083
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,798
jimmy's older brother a brilliant truly

1084
00:33:32,798 --> 00:33:34,720
decent man with a few problems

1085
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,240
surrounded by neatly organized stacks of

1086
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,319
papers and books chuck hunches over

1087
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:41,679
emmanuel olympia pecking out a letter

1088
00:33:41,679 --> 00:33:43,278
you gotta stop putting bacon on the list

1089
00:33:43,278 --> 00:33:44,960
that cooler is looking like a trickiness

1090
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,319
of stew

1091
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:48,880
chuck holds up a finger once a

1092
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,398
successful attorney and a name partner

1093
00:33:50,398 --> 00:33:51,119
in hamilton

1094
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:52,240
and mcgill chuck's life has been

1095
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,440
destroyed by what seems to be a

1096
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,440
debilitating allergic reaction to

1097
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,759
electricity chuck tugs the ladder out of

1098
00:33:57,759 --> 00:33:59,359
the olympia giving it to jimmy

1099
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:02,798

translated hungry to read the fresh

1103
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:08,800
papers chuck grabs the stack and lays

1104
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,398
them on the mahogany dining table he

1105
00:34:10,398 --> 00:34:12,790

ergo a falsies principi pro

1135
00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:15,440
meaning that's not the meaning

1136
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,599
that's the one about false principles

1137
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:19,358
proceed from false principles your

1138
00:35:19,358 --> 00:35:21,199
argument is built on quicksand

1139
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:22,719
therefore it collapses you're not

1140
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,559
listening fine let's take this to its

1141
00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:25,760
logical conclusion

1142
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,599
in order to pay out my share suppose my

1143
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:29,519
partners are forced to liquidate the

1144
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:30,159
firm

1145
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,480

00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,358
my case is scattered to the wind 126

1148
00:35:37,358 --> 00:35:38,880
people lose their jobs

1149
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,519
hamlin hamlin mcgill closes what happens

00:37:37,199 --> 00:37:38,559
didn't want to take anything but howard

1213
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:40,159
was very insistent

1214
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:42,559
i'll pay you back too wait hamlin was

1215
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:43,199
here

1216
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,760
it's not like i'm a recluse he put his

1217
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,119
cell phone in the mailbox

1218
00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:49,679
he understands the situation he grounded

1219
00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:50,159
himself

1220
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,719
of course [ __ ] hamlin has outmaneuvered

1221
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,239
jimmy with the bleak glance jimmy

1222
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,760
notices among the papers stocked on

1223
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,390
chuck's desk is the thick

1224
00:37:57,390 --> 00:37:58,960
hhm envelope the one handling tried to

1225
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
give to jimmy earlier

1226
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,519
and the two of you agreed that since as

1227
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:04,960
everybody knows you're going back to

1228
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,320
work any day now

1229
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,239
the firm might as well help you what

1230
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,519
make ends meet

1231
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:12,790
that's correct minus the sarcasm

1232
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:14,320
hamlin's making a jump out of you

1233
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,880
i am going to get better i'm going to go

1234
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,679
back to work

1235
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:20,400
and i'm picking up where i left off i

1236
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,159
understand you're trying to look out for

1237
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:22,719
me

1238
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,790
but you're missing the bigger picture

1239
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:32,0
so um i was thinking

1240
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,599
vanguard law that sounds kind of

1241
00:38:32,0 --> 00:38:36,0
important dora

1242
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:40,159
gibraltar legal advisors like like the

1243
00:38:36,0 --> 00:38:40,159
rock

1244
00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:44,0
has a nice ring to it or or what about

1245
00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:47,280
keeping it simple aaa law four eggs

1246
00:38:44,0 --> 00:38:47,280
that would put you right at the top of

1247
00:38:45,358 --> 00:38:47,280
the yellow pages

1248
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,280
chuck howard brought this

1249
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,760
he's concerned chuck produces one of the

1250
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,440
james and miguel matchbooks

1251
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,599
you have to admit it could be confusing

1252
00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,280
hamlin hamlin mcgill

1253
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,559
james m mcgill it's my name i was

1254
00:39:02,559 --> 00:39:05,760
born with it still i'm not supposed to

1255
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,119
use my own name

1256
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:09,390
on hamlin say so what's he going to do

1257
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:10,800
sue me no one wants to create an

1258
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,880
adversarial situation i'm sure

1259
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,199
howard would gladly pay the cost of new

1260
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:18,0
matchbooks and so on

1261
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:23,519
it's it's simply a matter of

1262
00:39:18,0 --> 00:39:23,519
professional courtesy

1263
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,519
chuck whose side are you on there no

1264
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:25,199
side's here

1265
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:28,320
but jimmy listen wouldn't you rather

1266
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,559
build your own identity why ride on

1267
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:32,480
someone else's coattails

1268
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,639
off jimmy struggling to contain a

1269
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:35,920
simmering rage

1270
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,239
we find ourselves in blackness a door

1271
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,838
swings open revealing we are inside

1272
00:39:39,838 --> 00:39:41,440
chuck's mailbox looking out jimmy's

1273
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,119
hands grabbed his cell phone key fob on

1274
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:44,159
the rest

1275
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:46,480
we cut inside his suzuki esteem jimmy

1276
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,519
slams the car door

1277
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:49,760
he sits in the motionless esteem stewing

1278
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,159
anger building and waves he slowly turns

1279
00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:53,519
to glare through the spider web of

1280
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:55,599
cracks in the windshield jagged lines

1281
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:57,199
crisscrossing jimmy's face as he stares

1282
00:39:57,199 --> 00:39:58,480
at the shattered safety glass

1283
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,480
a storm brewing in his eyes all right

1284
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:09,119
you wanna dance let's dance

1285
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:14,0

1286
00:40:12,559 --> 00:40:17,679
this

1287
00:40:14,0 --> 00:40:17,679
scanning skateboard twins carbon grind

1288
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,679
inside a concrete half pipe

1289
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:20,790
these guys are [ __ ] awesome cal zooms

1290
00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:21,599
up past the lip and hangs suspended in

1291
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,119
the air for a gut-wrenching moment he

1292
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:24,800
rushes back down and comes to a scraping

1293
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,440
stop

1294
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,159
he saw something up there trouble lars

1295
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:29,519
pulls up next to his brother and follows

1296
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:30,719
his gaze up too

1297
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,280
a figure looming above it's jimmy a man

1298
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:33,920
on a mission

1299
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,239

1301
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:38,719
they step out of the half pipe and we

1302
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,480
widen to reveal we're at exterior

1303
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,679
municipal skate park

1304
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:43,440
skaters roll back and forth yeah who

1305
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,880
wouldn't look for skateboarders here

1306
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:50,800
i know it's kind of eerie right

1307
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,480

1308
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,920

windshield right

1311
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,960
seconds of your lives profitable

1312
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,880
lars and cow glanced at each other off

1313
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,400
the twins cautious but definitely

1314
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,280
intrigued

1315
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,119
we time cut a couple minutes later the

1316
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:06,559
boys listen ready to take off in an

1317
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:08,559
instant as jimmy makes his pitch

1318
00:41:08,559 --> 00:41:10,790
there's nothing of the carnival barker

1319
00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:14,0
tim now he's almost missed the eye

1320
00:41:12,318 --> 00:41:16,960
i want to tell you about a young guy

1321
00:41:14,0 --> 00:41:16,960
about your age he lived a long way from

1322
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,960
here in a town

1323
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,679
called cicero illinois and in cicero he

1324
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:20,790
was

1325
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:22,239
the man when he strolled by all the

1326
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,838
corner boys would give him the high five

1327
00:41:23,838 --> 00:41:25,838
all the finest babes would smile him and

1328
00:41:25,838 --> 00:41:26,559
hope

1329
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:29,390
that he would smile back jimmy they

1330
00:41:29,390 --> 00:41:29,838
called him

1331
00:41:29,838 --> 00:41:32,159
slip and jimmy and everybody wanted to

1332
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:33,119
be his friend

1333
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:34,880
slip and jimmy what kind of name is that

1334
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,480
okay i'll tell you

1335
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,400
now the winners in cicero now their

1336
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,679
murder you boys

1337
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:41,199
growing up out here in the golden west

1338
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:42,800
you don't know

1339
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,719

1340
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,318
right in your nose

1341
00:41:46,318 --> 00:41:48,790
talking wind that cuts through your coat

1342
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:50,960
and carves you up like a ginsu knife

1343
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,639
truth is most folks in cicero were

1344
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:54,559
scared of winter but not jimmy

1345
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:56,639
jimmy spent all summer long waiting in

1346
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:57,760
september

1347
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,440
when september finally rolled around

1348
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,358
he'd feel that first cold wind sweeping

1349
00:42:01,358 --> 00:42:02,159
off lake michigan

1350
00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:04,800

1351
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,760

1355
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,119

better

1358
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,440
and he'd pick his spot and when it was

1359
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,280
nice and busy he'd step out on the ice

1360
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:21,519

1653
00:51:33,838 --> 00:51:35,119
peering through the lace curtains

1661
00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:49,519
breath before another hand firmly grips

1662
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:50,239
him by the collar

1663
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,920
jimmy offers no resistance as he's

1664
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,159
tugged inside after a beat a man leans

1665
00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:55,679
out of the doorway and calmly scans the

1666
00:51:55,679 --> 00:51:56,318
street

1667
00:51:56,318 --> 00:51:58,800

see macro close-ups coffee dripping

69
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:28,719
called heating elements etc and all of

70
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:30,400
this every image in the entire teaser is

71
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,639
shown in glorious black and white

72
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,318
the place is fairly busy with customers

73
00:02:34,318 --> 00:02:36,159
there's also a middle-aged manager

74
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,519
close on his name tag says jean

75
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:41,199
jean's got unhip glasses a walrus

76
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:42,878
mustache and dark thinning hair

77
00:02:42,878 --> 00:02:44,318
he goes about his work briskly and

78
00:02:44,318 --> 00:02:46,239
efficiently exuding neither personality

79
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:47,759
nor attitude

80
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:49,120
honestly we wouldn't give this man a

81
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,390
second glance except that we used to

82
00:02:51,390 --> 00:02:52,959
know him as saul goodman

83
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:54,239
we are looking at a fugitive from

84
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:56,800
justice exactly as predicted at the end

85
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:56,878
of the breaking bad

86
00:02:56,878 --> 00:02:58,800
saul now manages a cinnabon in omaha

87
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,0
nebraska

88
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,560
this is cut and dried stuff we're

89
00:03:02,0 --> 00:03:04,560
watching it's a day in the life of a

90
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:04,560
restaurant nothing more

91
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,800
we hear only snippets of conversation no

92
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,400
emotions on display neither happy nor

93
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,598
sad it's simply work

94
00:03:11,598 --> 00:03:13,199
helping out an employee gene expertly

95
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,390
packages an order to go handing it off

96
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:17,390
he double takes noticing something

97
00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:18,878
there's a customer sitting at a top way

98
00:03:18,878 --> 00:03:20,239
in the back of the store

99
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:22,318
and he's hard to tell through those

100
00:03:22,318 --> 00:03:24,800
glasses he's wearing but he seems to be

101
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,280
staring at jean

102
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,239
intently whatever gene's doing it ceases

103
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:30,800
he blinks and stares back

104
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,158
sunglasses rises to his feet and starts

105
00:03:32,158 --> 00:03:33,519
walking towards us

106
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:35,360
we creep in on gene who exhibits the

107
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,280
first hint of emotion we've witnessed

108
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
fear and though he tries to hide it it's

109
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,959
growing clearly the fugitive saul

110
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:42,639
goodman has just been recognized his

111
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,560
time on the run has reached an end

112
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,878
except sunglasses now walks right past

113
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:48,800
gene

114
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,519
gene's head swivels with this guy who

115
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:50,719
pads out the door and waves to a friend

116
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:52,479
outside we suddenly realize the guy's

117
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,800
stare only seemed to be directed at gene

118
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:54,560
it never

119
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,759
actually was gene gives a secret sigh of

120
00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:58,799
relief

121
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:01,519
and willie's his heart beat back to 140.

122
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:02,959
again he's on autopilot back to the

123
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,878
grind

124
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:08,0
scene two we cut exterior of a townhouse

125
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:10,400
complex at night cookie cutter

126
00:04:08,0 --> 00:04:10,400
townhouses

127
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:10,400
depressing this is where larry from

128
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,759
three's company went to die

129
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:18,0
inside the apartment downstairs at night

130
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,160
ice cubes clunk into a highball glass

131
00:04:18,0 --> 00:04:22,160
dram buoy and some sort of off-brand

132
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160
scotch gets poured making a rusty nail

133
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,519
instead of a twist of lemon there's an

134
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:25,400
unceremonious squirt from one of those

135
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,360
little lemon-shaped juice bottles

136
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,199
jean slurps the excess off his drink

137
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,639
walks into the living room

138
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,0
this place has zero personality oakwood

139
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,360
vibe

140
00:04:34,0 --> 00:04:37,360
gene plops down on the sectional fires

141
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,360
up his flat screen he channel serves

142
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,720
finding something he can tolerate

143
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,790
sipping is rusty now and staring

144
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:42,319
straight through the tv a thought

145
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:43,519
eventually strikes him

146
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:45,439
he sets down his drink rises heads for

147
00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:47,439
the stairs but before he goes he pauses

148
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:48,560
to check the window blinds

149
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,560
their clothes tight complete privacy

150
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,120
black frame door opens and light floods

151
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,759
in we realize we're in a closet

152
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,120
jean neels to pull a couple of familiar

153
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,879
suitcases out of the way we'll recall he

154
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:01,918
had these when he took his leave in

155
00:05:01,918 --> 00:05:04,790
episode 515 of breaking bad

156
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:05,759
with the suitcases removed a hatch is

157
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:07,199
revealed cut into the drywall at the

158
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:08,160
back of the closet

159
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,0
now gene removes from it a dented old

160
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,439
shoe box

161
00:05:12,0 --> 00:05:15,439
steel kneeling gene opens the box and we

162
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,439
get a glimpse inside as he sifts through

163
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:16,240
its contents

164
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
there are papers some old photos a fat

165
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,918
stack of mexican pesos

166
00:05:19,918 --> 00:05:21,600
there's an old tin band-aid box that

167
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,279
rattles like a half full of pebbles

168
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,319
and lastly there's an unmarked vhs tape

169
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:28,319
this is what gene came for he cradles it

170
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,319
in his hands

171
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:31,839
back downstairs at night the tape gets

172
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,439
pressed into a vcr gene

173
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:34,800
backs in the frame settling into the

174
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,380
sofa never taking his eyes off the tv

175
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,319
he feels around in front of it for his

176
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,879
rusty nail we never once see what's on

177
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:41,759
the tv screen

178
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,360
but over a bouncy musical jingle whose

179
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,0
refrain is better called saw

180
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,800
we hear hey you did you know you have

181
00:05:48,0 --> 00:05:50,800
rights

182
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800
my name's saul goodman attorney in law

183
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,240
and i'm itching for a fight with

184
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,160
prosecutors judges the police

185
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,639
anyone who's out to ruin your day so if

186
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:57,759
you're in trouble

187
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,610
better call saul

188
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:04,319
[Applause]

189
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:05,680
this is the first in a series of

190
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
15-second commercials a second one

191
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,560
please

192
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,879
and another and another the whole time

193
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:12,319
we stay on gene who stares at them

194
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:16,0
intently

195
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:18,959
but gene shows no emotion no nostalgia

196
00:06:16,0 --> 00:06:18,959
no regret not pride

197
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:18,959
his expression is unreadable as he

198
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:20,879
watches yet there's one subtle detail we

199
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:21,759
may note

200
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:23,360
which is that gradually a bit of color

201
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,959
spews into this black and white image

202
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:26,720
it's the light from the unseen tv it

203
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,160
flickers across jean's face in blue

204
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,439
yellow and red

205
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,380
off these colors growing brighter more

206
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,279
vibrant as dead eye gene sifts his

207
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,399
drinking stairs

208
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,680
act one interior courthouse courtroom

209
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,680
albuquerque city still in the frame

210
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,279
we're back in color

211
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,959
tilt down to reveal a long-faced judge

212
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:46,720
sitting on his bench

213
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,240
peering up at the ceiling staring at

214
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,790
nothing in particular he slowly rotates

215
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:51,680
in his chair left to right right to left

216
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,199
we hear the squeak of the chair

217
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,199
that squeak is the loudest thing we hear

218
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:56,879
even though the courtroom is packed

219
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:58,800
jurors the alternates in the jury box

220
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,478
one of them coughs another shift center

221
00:07:00,478 --> 00:07:01,120
seat

222
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,439
another idly scratches his ear someone

223
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:04,720
in the crowded visitor section checks

224
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,519
his watch

225
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,519
somebody else's stomach rumbles the

226
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,380
court reporter examines a fingernail

227
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:10,240
then reaches for her big goal

228
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800
takes a sip the lead prosecutor removes

229
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,680
his readers

230
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,199
picks out a piece of sleep from his eyes

231
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,360
frowns at it on the tip of his pinky

232
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,439
and beside him we see a second chair

233
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,120
seem to be taking notes

234
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720
however a closer look reveals this young

235
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,399
woman is actually drawing a barbarian

236
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,879
riding a unicorn

237
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:28,319
over at the defense table set three

238
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,560
defendants they're clean cut white guys

239
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,160
they look innocent they also look

240
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,680
nervous as currently they don't have a

241
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,879
defense attorney

242
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,639
the defendants glance sidelined to one

243
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,959
another wondering where he is

244
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,560
we hear a creek the judge rotates

245
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,478
towards the bailiff gives them a shrug

246
00:07:42,478 --> 00:07:44,319
the bale of nods rises to its feet and

247
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,918
exits

248
00:07:45,918 --> 00:07:47,918
we cut to men's room hands are split

249
00:07:47,918 --> 00:07:49,519
apart pressed against a white tile wall

250
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:50,800
a man is alone in here

251
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,790
standing as if he's assuming the

252
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:54,790
position in order to be frisked

253
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:55,839
actually he's at a urinal relieving

254
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:57,918
himself we don't get a good look at him

255
00:07:57,918 --> 00:07:59,279
at first we're mostly on his back he

256
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:00,560
seems to be murmuring something under

257
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,120
his breath

258
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,720

saul is a ways off in the future and

268
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,639

00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:27,598
born with

270
00:08:27,598 --> 00:08:30,0
the door opens behind him and the

271
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,519
bailiff sticks his head into the men's

272
00:08:30,0 --> 00:08:33,519

courtroom black frame then we reveal the

282
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:50,240
courtroom jimmy walking through

283
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,519
like elvis taking the stage at the

284
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:54,240
international hotel all eyes are on him

you remember 19 because let me tell you

288
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,600
the juices are flowing those red

289
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,919
corpuscles are core bustling the grass

290
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:06,799
is green and

291
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,759

293
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,600
yeah you do but if you're being honest

294
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,879
really honest

295
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:16,399
you'll also recall you had an

296
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,639
underdeveloped 19 year old brain i mean

297
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,480
that thing was the size of a circus

298
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,360
peanut

299
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,839
me personally i was well let's just say

300
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:25,278
if i was held accountable for every

301
00:09:25,278 --> 00:09:28,399
stupid decision i made when i was 19

302
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,390
oh boy and i bet if i were in church

303
00:09:31,390 --> 00:09:33,519
right now i'd get a big amen

304
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,240
which brings us to these three now these

305
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,639
three

306
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:38,159
knuckleheads and i'm sorry boys but

307
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:39,839
that's that's what you are

308
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,800
they did a dumb thing we're not denying

309
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:42,879
that

310
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:44,799
however i would like to point out two

311
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:46,480
salient facts in fact one

312
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,0
nobody got hurt not a soul very

313
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,600
important to keep that in mind fact

314
00:09:50,0 --> 00:09:53,600
two though the prosecution keeps banning

315
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:53,600
the term

316
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
criminal trespass mr spinazo the

317
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,679
property owner admitted to us that he

318
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,390
keeps most portions

319
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:00,879
of his business open to the public day

320
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:02,780
and night so

321
00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:05,200
trespassing i mean dave that's that's

322
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,639
kind of a reach isn't it

323
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,759
huh here's what i know these three young

324
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:10,159
men

325
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:13,278
near honor students all

326
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:15,120
were feeling their oats one saturday

327
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,0
night and they

328
00:10:16,958 --> 00:10:23,519
well i i don't know

329
00:10:20,0 --> 00:10:23,519
look call me crazy but i don't think

330
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:23,519
they deserve to have their bright

331
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:24,559
futures ruined

332
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120
for what amounts to a minute momentary

333
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,799
never to be repeated

334
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,600
lapse of judgment ladies and gentlemen

335
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
you're bigger than that

336
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,0
jesus jimmy is good he's confident

337
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,799
folksy and genuine he's passionate and

338
00:10:38,0 --> 00:10:40,799
convincing

339
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:40,799
his three clients smile hopefully things

340
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,159
are looking up

341
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,360
except why is the jury so very deadpan

342
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,600
same goes for the judge didn't any of

343
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,278
that land on these people

344
00:10:49,278 --> 00:10:51,360
the prosecutor rises to his feet makes

345
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,320
his rebuttal

346
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,780
he crosses to an av cart tucked in the

347
00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:56,240
corner rolls the car to where the jury

348
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,759
can see it pushes the tape into the deck

349
00:10:57,759 --> 00:10:59,759
and the tv screen goes blue

350
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,720
and now up comes a homemade video two of

351
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,159
our young defendants are visible in it

352
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:05,600
it's handheld and shaky and seems to

353
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,0
take place in a professional laboratory

354
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:11,440
of some sort

355
00:11:08,0 --> 00:11:11,440
the guys keep their voices low so as not

356
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,440
to get caught they're giggly and dopey

357
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,390
proudly documenting their exploits on

358
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:14,958
camera and what are these exploits you

359
00:11:14,958 --> 00:11:15,839
ask

360
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:17,440
this is the embalming room of a funeral

361
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,399
home and one of the guys hacksaw in hand

362
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,480
is sawing the head off an elderly male

363
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,519
corpse

364
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,639
oh to be 19 again

365
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,399
and now as the head comes loose from the

366
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,639
hacksaw hacksaw boy dangles it by its

367
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:34,799
white hair

368
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:38,0
most jurors avert their eyes having seen

369
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,759
this all before the prosecutor leans

370
00:11:38,0 --> 00:11:41,759
against the cart with his fingers laced

371
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:41,759
staring off the floor this is the

372
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,200
entirety of his rebuttal

373
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,240
he doesn't even need to say a word dude

374
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,600
dude stick your wang in the throat hole

375
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,120
the three real life defendants shift

376
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,390
uncomfortably in their seat jimmy gives

377
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:54,639
them a fake little nod and a wave off

378
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,720
it's going to be fine yeah sure it is

379
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,0
back in the courthouse in the chief

380
00:12:00,0 --> 00:12:03,600
clerk's office little stuffed animals

381
00:12:02,0 --> 00:12:04,879
are proudly displayed on the desk of the

382
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,879
court's chief clerk

383
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:06,399
she's staring up through hooded eyes at

384
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,559
jimmy who is in mid-rant waving a check

385
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,559

386
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,958

408
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,200
jimmy headed for a pearlescent white

409
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:53,759
cadillac

410
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,919
of course we remember his famous car

411
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:57,390
whoops he doesn't

412
00:12:57,390 --> 00:12:59,120
own that caddy just yet so we adjust to

413
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,480
the vehicle part next to it

414
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,360
a mid-90s suzuki esteem and yes as the

415
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,839
name perversely implies it's a [ __ ] box

416
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:09,120
jimmy plops his briefcase on the

417
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,799
suzuki's roof digs for his keys as he

418
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,320
does the cell phone rings jimmy checks

419
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,519
the readout on his cell

420
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:18,0
and his anger evaporates instantly gets

421
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,200
replaced with nervous hope

422
00:13:18,0 --> 00:13:21,200
fumbling to answer the call causes to

423
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,200
collect himself when he speaks

424
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,240

he checks his watch jumps in his car

440
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,360
barely remembering his briefcase on the

441
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,399
roof as the car tears off

442
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,780
we find ourselves at a cashier booth a

443
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:03,600
guard arm blocking the exit as the

great job employee of the month right

491
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720
there

492
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
we find ourselves at loyola's cafe scene

493
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,559
12 were in a booth close coffee gets

494
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,240
stirred by a woman's manicured hand her

495
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,780
other hand rests atop her husbands

496
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:43,919
i'm just fuzzy as to why you think he

497
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:45,360
needs a lawyer

498
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480
we reveal craig and betsy kettleman i

499
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,278
mean craig

500
00:15:49,278 --> 00:15:50,879
the way you run your office beyond

501
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,480
reproach beyond reproach

502
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,639
i'm a he's a stickler with the money

503
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:56,780
he's definitely a stickler

504
00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:57,679
he's certainly not guilty of something

505
00:15:57,679 --> 00:15:59,519
certainly not he's innocent of any

506
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,198
wrongdoing that much is clear to me i

507
00:16:01,198 --> 00:16:01,839
don't

508
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:03,600
i don't go looking for guilty people to

509
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,198
represent

510
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:08,320
geez who needs that aggravation right

511
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,919
look i only know what i read in the

512
00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:11,679
paper but here's the thing

513
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,519
typically when money goes missing from

514
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:15,390
the county treasury and

515
00:16:15,390 --> 00:16:18,958
what's the figure 1.6 million

516
00:16:18,958 --> 00:16:20,559
it's an accounting discrepancy a

517
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:22,240
discrepancy absolutely

518
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,919
so typically when that happens the

519
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,159
police look at the treasurer

520
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,759
and since that person is you know uh

521
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:31,759
yeah i just think maybe a little pro

522
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,320
activity may be in order

523
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,0
i think i'd look guilty if i hired a

524
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:42,159
lawyer actually it's

525
00:16:38,0 --> 00:16:42,159
getting arrested that makes people look

526
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:42,159
guilty even the innocent ones

527
00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:43,679
and let me tell you innocent people get

528
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:45,198
arrested all the time

529
00:16:45,198 --> 00:16:46,720
and they find themselves in a little

530
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,559
room with a detective who acts like he's

531
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:49,600
their best friend

532
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,159
talk to me he says help me clear this

533
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:53,839
thing up you don't need a lawyer only

534
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:56,639
guilty people need lawyers and boom

535
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,0
that's where it all goes south

536
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,318
that's when you want someone in your

537
00:17:00,0 --> 00:17:04,318
corner someone will fight tooth and nail

538
00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,318
someone who will in fact already have

539
00:17:04,318 --> 00:17:06,780
your defense strategy mapped out

540
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:09,519
in advance lawyers huh we're like health

541
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:10,240
insurance

542
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480
you hope you'll never need it but man oh

543
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,798
man not having it

544
00:17:16,798 --> 00:17:21,380
so how would we proceed if

545
00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:23,359
we decided to uh jimmy's way ahead of

546
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,880
him he produces a one-page legal

547
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,400
document which he lays before them as

548
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,439
well as a pen

549
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:29,380
this is a letter of engagement very

550
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:30,720
simple straightforward

551
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,400
please by all means read it closely if

552
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,480
you sign it i can get to work on that

553
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
strategy of ours this very afternoon

554
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,0
mr kettleman iza's wife who scans the

555
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,679
letter and seems to see nothing wrong

556
00:17:40,0 --> 00:17:44,0
with it mr kettleman picks up the pin

557
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:46,558
we're close on jimmy for whom time slows

558
00:17:44,0 --> 00:17:46,558
down

559
00:17:45,380 --> 00:17:46,558
jimmy plays it cool of course but for

560
00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:48,790
him signing mr kettleman would be like

561
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:49,839
ahab catching the white whale

562
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,400
he holds his breath jamie's pov the pin

563
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,640
clicks open in dreamy slow motion

564
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,640
in this specialty ultra macro shot the

565
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,759
huge ballpoint tip

566
00:17:57,759 --> 00:18:00,160
lazily descends to the paper it impacts

567
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,359
the dotted line leaving an

568
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,160
ink spot this is it this is the golden

569
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,679
moment when jimmy lands his first big

570
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:07,679
client it's really happening until

571
00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:11,759

586
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,839
kettleman's exit the restaurant

587
00:18:42,0 --> 00:18:45,839
alone in the booth he slurps his coffee

588
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,839
and glares into space [ __ ]

589
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:47,919
he turns and peers out the window as pov

590
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:49,599
we see the kettleman's round their

591
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,679
modest vehicle a late 80s mercury stable

592
00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:52,480
station wagon

593
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,319
and we can't hear the discussion but mrs

594
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,400
kettleman's body language is very clear

595
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,759
no we're not signing with the very first

596
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,679
lawyer we meet she climbs behind the

597
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,200
wheel of disabled very much the driver

598
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,640
in this relationship

599
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,798
jimmy sighs and he's not ready to give

600
00:19:04,798 --> 00:19:06,558
up yet fishing out his wallet to pay the

601
00:19:06,558 --> 00:19:08,839
bill we see he's got six bucks to his

602
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,240
name

603
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,759
we now cut to a suburban street in the

604
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,679
afternoon we see the suzuki esteem

605
00:19:13,679 --> 00:19:15,919
zoom pass we cut inside and jimmy holds

606
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:16,960
the phone to his ear he's in mid

607
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,480
conversation balancing a credit card

608
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,919
atop the wheel and squinting to read it

609
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:22,200
while he drives

of nowhere and slams across the hood of

625
00:19:57,519 --> 00:19:58,240
jimmy's car

626
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,279

627
00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:00,880

630
00:20:04,0 --> 00:20:07,519
breathing fast he just had the piss

631
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:07,519
scared out of him

632
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:10,0
driver's door swings open and jimmy

633
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,119
climbs out dreading what i'll find

634
00:20:10,0 --> 00:20:13,119
nearby on the pavement lies a young dude

635
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,119
who is groaning softly this is cal as

636
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,839

00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,558
a second lenky redheaded skateboarder

640
00:20:18,558 --> 00:20:19,919
lars comes gliding in a frame with a

641
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,359
late 90s camcorder in hand and it

642
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,880
quickly becomes apparent to us

643
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,640
that lars is a dead ringer for the guy

644
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,159

00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:28,790

the angrier lars gets the more jimmy's

679
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:20,880
anxiety seems to ebb away

680
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,159
it gets replaced with a kind of

681
00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:24,558
inscrutable watchfulness finally in his

would be if it had a 300 hooker sitting

706
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,720

00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,798

de-calloused with pumice stick we hear a

717
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:35,679
murmur of vietnamese being spoken

718
00:22:35,679 --> 00:22:37,599
we're in a strip mall nail salon four or

719
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:38,960

00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,159
another as they tend to their female

721
00:22:40,159 --> 00:22:41,380
clients

722
00:22:41,380 --> 00:22:42,319
hanging bells on the door jingle as

747
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:29,919
the salon we're in a rear storage

748
00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:31,919
hallway as jimmy passes through

749
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:33,200
area is stacked high with business

750
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,880
supplies and a fluorescent tube with a

751
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,480
faulty ballast flickers overhead

752
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,790
when he reaches a plane scuffed door

753
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:39,839
mark james and mcgill esquire a law

754
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:40,960
corporation

755
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,359
we realize this is the office that jimmy

756
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,839
has

757
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,159
back in jimmy's office it's dark jimmy

758
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:49,440
flicks on the lights cluttered and

759
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,0
depressing

760
00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:55,759
that about sums this place up the office

761
00:23:52,0 --> 00:23:55,759
is barely big enough for one person

762
00:23:54,790 --> 00:23:55,759
jimmy shuts the door behind him now that

763
00:23:55,759 --> 00:24:00,0
he's alone his smile fades

764
00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:02,240
christ what a day he pulls loose the

765
00:24:00,0 --> 00:24:02,240
knot on his tie

766
00:24:00,798 --> 00:24:02,240
scooches sideways to the narrow path to

767
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,790
his desk plopping down behind it here

768
00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:05,919
there's a dated old multi-line desk

769
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:06,319
phone

770
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,480
jimmy punches the voicemail button you

771
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,759
have zero

772
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,720
messages jimmy isn't surprised business

773
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,519
is slow

774
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:15,200
he considers and wriggles his fingers at

775
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,519
the phone it's as if he's casting a

776
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:18,960
magical spell on it compelling it to

777
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,519
ring

778
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:21,919
it doesn't jimmy gives up sifts through

779
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:23,919
his mail close angles nothing but bill

780
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:26,159
after bill after bill he stops shuffling

781
00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:28,558
when he comes across an envelope

782
00:24:28,558 --> 00:24:30,720
very expensive volume the return address

783
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,400
is that of albuquerque law firm hamlin

784
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,790
hamlin and mcgill

785
00:24:34,790 --> 00:24:36,558
jimmy considers guardedly hopeful he

786
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:37,599
slits the envelope

787
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:38,960
and inside there's a cover letter

788
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,880
there's also a cashier's check jimmy

789
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,119
studies it for a long time

790
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,640
the check is written to him personally

791
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,839
and it's made out in the amount of

792
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:48,558
twenty six thousand dollars holy [ __ ]

793
00:24:48,558 --> 00:24:52,0
we've seen how broke jimmy is we know

794
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:54,480
he's in dire financial straits

795
00:24:52,0 --> 00:24:56,0
now hallelujah but jimmy is not

796
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,759
overjoyed about this sudden financial

797
00:24:56,0 --> 00:24:59,759
windfall

798
00:24:57,919 --> 00:24:59,759
actually seems to piss him off to the

799
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:01,359
degree that he now tears the check in

800
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,0
half

801
00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:06,0
and off a grim jimmy we end act one

802
00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:08,159
act two we're in an elevator call button

803
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:09,519
filling a frame it finger jabs it

804
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:11,278
lighting it up

805
00:25:11,278 --> 00:25:12,798
jimmy waits for an elevator in place we

806
00:25:12,798 --> 00:25:14,558
don't recognize it's a new day jimmy is

807
00:25:14,558 --> 00:25:16,640
wearing his best acrylic blend suit

808
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,480
he's alone here taking a deep breath

809
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,839
stealing himself he glances over to a

810
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:21,440
trash can which stands nearby

811
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,200
its shiny metal side is prominently

812
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,119
dented jimmy stares at it lost in

813
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,839
thought

814
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:27,919
ding the arrival of the elevator snaps

815
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:29,599
him out of it he steps aboard

816
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:31,759

817
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:32,640
brand new jimmy

818
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,0
now he's confident a master of the

819
00:25:34,159 --> 00:25:38,790
universe strolling out of the elevator

820
00:25:36,0 --> 00:25:38,790
into the white shoe world of hamline him

821
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,790

right down to the paralegals and

826
00:25:44,558 --> 00:25:45,440
assistance

827
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,200
as busy people come and go jimmy smiles

828
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,200
and nods hello knows every last man and

829
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,679
woman

if they like jimmy but feel awkward

833
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:57,278
around him there's a hint of pity in

834
00:25:57,278 --> 00:25:58,319
their eyes

835
00:25:58,319 --> 00:25:59,919
jimmy ignores it with his fingertips he

836
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:04,240
beats a drummer on the reception counter

837
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,640

00:26:15,278 --> 00:26:16,960
receptionist glances after him picks up

843
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,319
her phone

844
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:20,480
we then cut to a conference room across

845
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,839
the room from us at the far end of this

846
00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:24,0
mile long conference table sits howard

847
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:27,599
hamlin

848
00:26:24,0 --> 00:26:27,599
and six of his junior partners they've

849
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:27,599
got coffee and danishes and are midway

850
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:29,359
through an informal morning meeting

851
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,880
jimmy walks right in without knocking

852
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,400
finding himself alone at the other end

853
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,240
of this ridiculously long table

854
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,679
he throws out his arms embellished his

855
00:26:35,679 --> 00:26:37,679
best ned baity impersonation you have

856
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:40,558
meddled with the primal forces of nature

857
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:41,839
mr hamlin

858
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,679
and i won't have it way in the distance

859
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:47,359
hamline and his juniors sit blinking and

860
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,200
staring at him they're not big fans of

861
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,200
the movie network apparently

862
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,278
a young female lawyer kim was already on

863
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:54,880
the phone when jimmy arrived into it low

864
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,759
and flat

865
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,319
it's okay brenda we got it sorry it's

866
00:26:58,319 --> 00:26:59,119
this table

867
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,790
something just comes over me what can we

868
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:03,278
do for you jimmy

869
00:27:03,278 --> 00:27:05,380
jimmy plops down in an empty chair he

870
00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:06,319
reaches in his jacket pulls out a

871
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:07,759
handful of confetti which used to be

872
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,599
that big cashier's check he sprinkles it

873
00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:10,480
on the tabletop

874
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,319
you can tell me what this 26 000

875
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:14,159
supposed to be for

876
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:16,640
it's money for chuck isn't that what you

877
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,679
wanted

878
00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:20,558
a measly 26 grand jesus you're like

879
00:27:20,558 --> 00:27:22,240
peter menuet with the indians throw in

880
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,319
some beads and shells while you're at it

881
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:27,119
it's a start there'll be more unless

882
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,798
you're just going to tear them all up

883
00:27:28,798 --> 00:27:30,558
and why was the chuck made a check made

884
00:27:30,558 --> 00:27:32,558
out to me why not chuck

885
00:27:32,558 --> 00:27:35,440
can he make his way to the bank i just

886
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,720
assumed it would be the best money to go

887
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,759
through you

888
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,919
but we'll do it any way you want see if

889
00:27:39,919 --> 00:27:41,599
i didn't know any better i'd say this

890
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,319
was some kind of half-assed bribe

891
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:45,839
where you throw a little money at me and

892
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:47,519
the sad hope i'll

893
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:49,200
somehow forget what you owe my client

894
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,558
wow

895
00:27:50,558 --> 00:27:53,119
no not even remotely correct this thing

896
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,480
isn't going away howard

897
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,240
what chuck did for this firm and damn

898
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,679
near single-handedly

899
00:27:57,679 --> 00:27:59,839
one-third of this place belongs to him

900
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:00,880
what do you got here

901
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,798
15 chairs five of these chairs are

902
00:28:02,798 --> 00:28:04,798
chucks three light fixtures

903
00:28:04,798 --> 00:28:07,359
you'll take the middle one six danishes

904
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,720
you can have all the danishes you want

905
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,960
jimmy no no they're chuck's danishes

906
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,380
oh and chuck's not greedy he'll only

907
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:14,159
take two

908
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:17,839
plus um 17 million dollars

909
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:19,278
you know somewhere in that ballpark

910
00:28:19,278 --> 00:28:20,720
we'll know once we get the accountants

911
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,640
in here poking around

912
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,119
in the meantime no more penny any checks

913
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,398
designed to make it look like chuck

914
00:28:26,398 --> 00:28:27,359
still works here

915
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,679
he doesn't and he never will again and

916
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:31,519
it's time to do right by him and cash

917
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:32,640
him out

918
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,640
so these are chuck's wishes you're

919
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,679
conveying

920
00:28:35,679 --> 00:28:37,919
yeah this is what's best for him and he

921
00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:39,278
has personally stated to you that

922
00:28:39,278 --> 00:28:42,480
it's his wish to withdraw from the firm

923
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
you see that would surprise me well it's

924
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,119
been nearly a year since he set foot in

925
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,319
here i'm looking out for his best

926
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:49,839
interest so am i

927
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:51,519
i for one believe he's going to lick

928
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,839
this thing until then his office is just

929
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:55,359
as he left it his secretary's still in

930
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:56,480
the payroll

931
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,919
if chuck can call this an extended

932
00:28:57,919 --> 00:28:59,679
sabbatical so can we

933
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:03,119
he's that important to us you know what

934
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:04,640

935
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,480
going to love you howard you're so down

936
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640
to earth and relatable

937
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,319
jimmy rises to his feet heads back the

938
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:11,679
way he came when he reaches the far end

939
00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:13,200
of the table he wants more bellows

940
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,119
theatrically and you

941
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:18,960
will atone more blank stares

942
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,159
ned beatty network for christ's sake

943
00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:24,159
guys

944
00:29:24,159 --> 00:29:25,599
we're back in the lobby close on the

945
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,679
call button a finger stabbing it

946
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:29,200
once more jimmy waits for the elevator

947
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,380
this time to get the hell out of there

948
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:32,880
the moment he has a bit of privacy as

949
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,960
such we get to see his true face

950
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,759
he's not as cool as a cucumber

951
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:38,960
apparently the meeting didn't go as

952
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,519
hooked

953
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:41,278
jimmy is beaten and he knows it here

954
00:29:41,278 --> 00:29:42,640
comes hamlin headed our way

955
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,480
jimmy snaps out of his phone hamlin

956
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,319
offers him a big manila envelope fat and

957
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:46,720
heavy

958
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,919
almost forgot this month's filings

959
00:29:49,919 --> 00:29:51,759

960
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:54,0
listening in there chuck doesn't work

961
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,380

no stop trying to pawn that [ __ ] off on

965
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:00,720
him

966
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
you know sometimes in our line of work

967
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,790
we get so

968
00:30:04,790 --> 00:30:06,880
caught up with the idea of winning and

969
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:13,599
we forget to listen to our hearts

970
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:16,159
give chuck my love will you hamlin walks

971
00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:17,599
off heads for a nearby office

972
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,720
jimmy glowers after him [ __ ] wait

973
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,960
it'd get worse for as hamline opens the

974
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,398
door to this office we catch a glimpse

975
00:30:24,398 --> 00:30:25,440
of the two clients who are waiting

976
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,558
inside for him

977
00:30:26,558 --> 00:30:28,398
yep you guessed it craig and betsy

978
00:30:28,398 --> 00:30:30,960
kettleman smiling at hamlin they greet

979
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,480
each other warmly then the door shuts

980
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,319
and we're left out here in the cold

981
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:36,159
the wind goes out of jimmy he presses

982
00:30:36,159 --> 00:30:37,359
his forehead against the wall

983
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:40,480
jabbing the elevator button again find

984
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,440
ourselves back on the

985
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,919
lower level elevator landing ding jimmy

986
00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:45,599
steps off the elevator into the parking

987
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:46,319
garage

988
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,240
is he okay not really because once he's

989
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,440
alone down here

990
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,960
he kicks the [ __ ] out of that familiar

991
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,480
dented trash can

992
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,319
bang bang bang it dawns on us why the

993
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,880
trash can is dented in the first place

994
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,398
having finally managed to kick over the

995
00:30:58,398 --> 00:30:59,919
can he stands here with his hands on his

996
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:00,319
knees

997
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:02,159
panting for breath and now we pull back

998
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,240
to reveal something jimmy can't see

999
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,599
just around the corner is that young

1000
00:31:05,599 --> 00:31:07,278
female lawyer from the conference room

1001
00:31:07,278 --> 00:31:09,759
kim she's leaning against a wall smoking

1002
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:10,720
a cigarette

1003
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,798
oddly all that ruckus just now didn't

1004
00:31:12,798 --> 00:31:14,720
alarm her didn't make her look to see

1005
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,759
what's going on either

1006
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:17,359
she's simply smoking and staring into

1007
00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:19,679
space jimmy wanders out of the elevator

1008
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:21,200
landing headed for the parked cars

1009
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,720
but when he comes across kim he's

1010
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,480
neither startled or embarrassed

1011
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,798
instead he joins her he too leans

1012
00:31:26,798 --> 00:31:28,880
against the wall staring into space

1013
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,480
after a moment he takes a cigarette from

1014
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,960
her lips borrowing it for a puff or two

1015
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,119
jimmy blows smoke in size he places the

1016
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:38,0
cigarette back in kim's mouth finally

1017
00:31:36,798 --> 00:31:42,319
looking at her

1018
00:31:38,0 --> 00:31:42,319
couldn't you just no i can't jimmy

1019
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,319
figured as much

1020
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:46,0
he doesn't argue kim stubs her butt in

1021
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,790
the ashtray smoke breaks over she

1022
00:31:46,0 --> 00:31:50,790
exits without a word jimmy doesn't watch

1023
00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:50,790
her go he stays another beat then

1024
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:52,880
wanders out of frame headed for his car

1025
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,240
back to act three

1026
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,558
upscale cul-de-sac at night headlights

1027
00:31:58,558 --> 00:31:59,278
flare

1028
00:31:59,278 --> 00:32:01,440
jimmy's esteem turns a corner he drives

1029
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,119
past well-tinted houses their lights

1030
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:04,798
gleaming warmly in the night

1031
00:32:04,798 --> 00:32:07,380
and pulls into the driveway of the only

1032
00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,359
house that's completely dark

1033
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:10,880
like the neighbors this place is roomy

1034
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,380
and nicely designed but not a single

1035
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:14,790
light shines

1036
00:32:14,790 --> 00:32:16,640
the house seems untended deserted a

1037
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,440
rotten tooth

1038
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,919
and a healthy mouth jimmy pulls two

1039
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:21,440
bulging plastic heavy bags and some

1040
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,720
groceries out of the trunk

1041
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,240
he tucks some newspapers under one arm

1042
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,759
goes to the mailbox and removes a stack

1043
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:26,798
of mail

1044
00:32:26,798 --> 00:32:29,200
and now he does something very odd in a

1045
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,880
routine he's followed 100 times jimmy

1046
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,640
places his watch key fob and cell phone

1047
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,839
into the mailbox

1048
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:35,359
with everything electronic or battery

1049
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,278
power hidden away he lifts the bags and

1050
00:32:37,278 --> 00:32:38,558
heads to the walkway

1051
00:32:38,558 --> 00:32:40,159
at the kitchen threshold jimmy makes a

1052
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:41,519
point of touching the drain pipe before

1053
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:42,640
unlocking the door

1054
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,240
we hear the tick tick tick of a manual

1055
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880
typewriter echoing from inside

1056
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,640
we segue to the kitchen as jimmy enters

1057
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,240
a voice calls from the next room

1058
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,119
you ground yourself yeah like the rest

1059
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:54,398
of the house the kitchen is illuminated

1060
00:32:54,398 --> 00:32:56,790
by quietly hissing propane lanterns

1061
00:32:56,790 --> 00:32:58,159
in other words no electric lights

1062
00:32:58,159 --> 00:32:59,839
lantern lights flicker over jagged gaps

1063
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:01,359
where once did the stove refrigerator

1064
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:02,319
and microwave

1065
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,790
jimmy opens a frat party igloo-sized

1066
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:06,159
cooler packaged food floats and melted

1067
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:06,480
ice

1068
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,0
he leans down turns about water girl

1069
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,200
goes from the cooler into a pvc

1070
00:33:10,0 --> 00:33:13,200
pipe that runs the outside world through

1071
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
a small ragged hole in the wall jimmy

1072
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,798
dumps the hefty bags in the cooler

1073
00:33:14,798 --> 00:33:16,960
turns out they're full of ice cubes he

1074
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,398
closes the cooler and dries his hands on

1075
00:33:18,398 --> 00:33:18,960
a towel

1076
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,398
raising a lantern jimmy heads deeper

1077
00:33:20,398 --> 00:33:22,480
into the house as he does we

1078
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,319
pass flex conduit snaking from gashes in

1079
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:26,159
the sheetrock the tick tick tick of the

1080
00:33:26,159 --> 00:33:27,839
manual typewriter gets louder as jimmy

1081
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:28,798
enters

1082
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:30,960
we reveal the man himself charles mcgill

1083
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,798
jimmy's older brother a brilliant truly

1084
00:33:32,798 --> 00:33:34,720
decent man with a few problems

1085
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,240
surrounded by neatly organized stacks of

1086
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,319
papers and books chuck hunches over

1087
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:41,679
emmanuel olympia pecking out a letter

1088
00:33:41,679 --> 00:33:43,278
you gotta stop putting bacon on the list

1089
00:33:43,278 --> 00:33:44,960
that cooler is looking like a trickiness

1090
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,319
of stew

1091
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:48,880
chuck holds up a finger once a

1092
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,398
successful attorney and a name partner

1093
00:33:50,398 --> 00:33:51,119
in hamilton

1094
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:52,240
and mcgill chuck's life has been

1095
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,440
destroyed by what seems to be a

1096
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,440
debilitating allergic reaction to

1097
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,759
electricity chuck tugs the ladder out of

1098
00:33:57,759 --> 00:33:59,359
the olympia giving it to jimmy

1099
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:02,798

translated hungry to read the fresh

1103
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:08,800
papers chuck grabs the stack and lays

1104
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,398
them on the mahogany dining table he

1105
00:34:10,398 --> 00:34:12,790

1107
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,320

electromagnetic fields on zebrafish he

1134
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:12,790
ergo a falsies principi pro

1135
00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:15,440
meaning that's not the meaning

1136
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,599
that's the one about false principles

1137
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:19,358
proceed from false principles your

1138
00:35:19,358 --> 00:35:21,199
argument is built on quicksand

1139
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:22,719
therefore it collapses you're not

1140
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,559
listening fine let's take this to its

1141
00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:25,760
logical conclusion

1142
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,599
in order to pay out my share suppose my

1143
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:29,519
partners are forced to liquidate the

1144
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:30,159
firm

1145
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,480
then what that's their problem my

1146
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,480
clients are out in the cold

1147
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,358
my case is scattered to the wind 126

1148
00:35:37,358 --> 00:35:38,880
people lose their jobs

1149
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,519
hamlin hamlin mcgill closes what happens

more reason not to tear it down for a

1161

1204
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,440
a check he hands it over to jimmy jimmy

1205
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,400
holds it up to the light

1206
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,920
it features the distinctive hamlin

1207
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,519

00:37:37,199 --> 00:37:38,559
didn't want to take anything but howard

1213
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:40,159

1215
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:43,199
here

1216
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,760
it's not like i'm a recluse he put his

1217
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,119
cell phone in the mailbox

1218
00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:49,679
he understands the situation he grounded

1219
00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:50,159
himself

1220
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,719
of course [ __ ] hamlin has outmaneuvered

1221
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,239
jimmy with the bleak glance jimmy

1222
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,760
notices among the papers stocked on

1223
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,390
chuck's desk is the thick

1224
00:37:57,390 --> 00:37:58,960
hhm envelope the one handling tried to

1225
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
give to jimmy earlier

1226
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,519
and the two of you agreed that since as

1227
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:04,960
everybody knows you're going back to

1228
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,320
work any day now

1229
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,239
the firm might as well help you what

1230
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,519
make ends meet

1231
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:12,790
that's correct minus the sarcasm

1232
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:14,320
hamlin's making a jump out of you

1233
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,880
i am going to get better i'm going to go

1234
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,679
back to work

1235
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:20,400
and i'm picking up where i left off i

1236
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,159
understand you're trying to look out for

1237
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:22,719
me

1238
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,790
but you're missing the bigger picture

1239
00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:32,0
so um i was thinking

1240
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,599
vanguard law that sounds kind of

1241
00:38:32,0 --> 00:38:36,0
important dora

1242
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:40,159
gibraltar legal advisors like like the

1243
00:38:36,0 --> 00:38:40,159
rock

1244
00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:44,0
has a nice ring to it or or what about

1245
00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:47,280
keeping it simple aaa law four eggs

1246
00:38:44,0 --> 00:38:47,280
that would put you right at the top of

1247
00:38:45,358 --> 00:38:47,280
the yellow pages

1248
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,280
chuck howard brought this

1249
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,760
he's concerned chuck produces one of the

1250
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,440
james and miguel matchbooks

1251
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,599
you have to admit it could be confusing

1252
00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,280
hamlin hamlin mcgill

1253
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,559
james m mcgill it's my name i was

1254
00:39:02,559 --> 00:39:05,760
born with it still i'm not supposed to

1255
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,119
use my own name

1256
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:09,390
on hamlin say so what's he going to do

1257
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:10,800
sue me no one wants to create an

1258
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,880
adversarial situation i'm sure

1259
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,199
howard would gladly pay the cost of new

1260
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:18,0
matchbooks and so on

1261
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:23,519
it's it's simply a matter of

1262
00:39:18,0 --> 00:39:23,519
professional courtesy

1263
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,519
chuck whose side are you on there no

1264
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:25,199

1265
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:28,320
but jimmy listen wouldn't you rather

1266
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,559
build your own identity why ride on

1267
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:32,480
someone else's coattails

1268
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,639
off jimmy struggling to contain a

1269
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:35,920
simmering rage

1270
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,239
we find ourselves in blackness a door

1271
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,838
swings open revealing we are inside

1272
00:39:39,838 --> 00:39:41,440
chuck's mailbox looking out jimmy's

1273
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,119
hands grabbed his cell phone key fob on

1274
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:44,159
the rest

1275
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:46,480
we cut inside his suzuki esteem jimmy

1276
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,519
slams the car door

1277
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:49,760
he sits in the motionless esteem stewing

1278
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,159
anger building and waves he slowly turns

1279
00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:53,519
to glare through the spider web of

1280
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:55,599
cracks in the windshield jagged lines

1281
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:57,199
crisscrossing jimmy's face as he stares

1282
00:39:57,199 --> 00:39:58,480
at the shattered safety glass

1283
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,480
a storm brewing in his eyes all right

1284
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:09,119
you wanna dance let's dance

1285
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:14,0

this

1287
00:40:14,0 --> 00:40:17,679
scanning skateboard twins carbon grind

1288
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,679
inside a concrete half pipe

1289
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:20,790
these guys are [ __ ] awesome cal zooms

1290
00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:21,599
up past the lip and hangs suspended in

1291
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,119
the air for a gut-wrenching moment he

1292
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:24,800
rushes back down and comes to a scraping

1293
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,440
stop

1294
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,159
he saw something up there trouble lars

1295
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:29,519
pulls up next to his brother and follows

1296
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:30,719
his gaze up too

1297
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,280
a figure looming above it's jimmy a man

1298
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:33,920
on a mission

1299
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,239

00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:38,719
they step out of the half pipe and we

1302
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,480
widen to reveal we're at exterior

1303
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,679
municipal skate park

1304
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:43,440
skaters roll back and forth yeah who

1305
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,880
wouldn't look for skateboarders here

1306
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:50,800
i know it's kind of eerie right

1307
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,480

1308
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,920

1311
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,960
seconds of your lives profitable

1312
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,880
lars and cow glanced at each other off

1313
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,400
the twins cautious but definitely

1314
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,280
intrigued

1315
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,119
we time cut a couple minutes later the

1316
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:06,559
boys listen ready to take off in an

1317
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:08,559
instant as jimmy makes his pitch

1318
00:41:08,559 --> 00:41:10,790
there's nothing of the carnival barker

1319
00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:14,0
tim now he's almost missed the eye

1320
00:41:12,318 --> 00:41:16,960
i want to tell you about a young guy

1321
00:41:14,0 --> 00:41:16,960
about your age he lived a long way from

1322
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,960
here in a town

1323
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,679
called cicero illinois and in cicero he

1324
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:20,790
was

1325
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:22,239
the man when he strolled by all the

1326
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,838
corner boys would give him the high five

1327
00:41:23,838 --> 00:41:25,838
all the finest babes would smile him and

1328
00:41:25,838 --> 00:41:26,559
hope

1329
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:29,390
that he would smile back jimmy they

1330
00:41:29,390 --> 00:41:29,838
called him

1331
00:41:29,838 --> 00:41:32,159
slip and jimmy and everybody wanted to

1332
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:33,119
be his friend

1333
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:34,880
slip and jimmy what kind of name is that

1334
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,480
okay i'll tell you

1335
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,400
now the winners in cicero now their

1336
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,679
murder you boys

1337
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:41,199
growing up out here in the golden west

1338
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:42,800
you don't know

1339
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,719
i'm talking cold that'll freeze a snot

1340
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,318
right in your nose

1341
00:41:46,318 --> 00:41:48,790
talking wind that cuts through your coat

1342
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:50,960
and carves you up like a ginsu knife

1343
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,639
truth is most folks in cicero were

1344
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:54,559
scared of winter but not jimmy

1345
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:56,639
jimmy spent all summer long waiting in

1346
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:57,760
september

1347
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,440
when september finally rolled around

1348
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,358
he'd feel that first cold wind sweeping

1349
00:42:01,358 --> 00:42:02,159
off lake michigan

1350
00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:04,800
and he knew it was coming what was he

1351
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,760
waiting for

1352
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,719
was it christmas was the kwanzaa better

1353
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,838
it was slip and fall season

1354
00:42:11,838 --> 00:42:13,280
as soon as it was cold enough you could

1355
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,119
find a nice smooth patch of ice state

1356
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:16,880
street was good michigan avenue was

1357
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:17,920
better

1358
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,440
and he'd pick his spot and when it was

1359
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,280
nice and busy he'd step out on the ice

1360
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:21,519
and

1361
00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:23,599
wham he biff it so hard people come

1362
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:25,679
running from five blocks away

1363
00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:28,318
yeah but did he collect did he collect

1364
00:42:28,318 --> 00:42:28,880
jimmy

1365
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,679
had it dialed in one good fall he'd make

1366
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:32,880

1528
00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:39,390
to see what's going on

1529
00:47:39,390 --> 00:47:40,719

well-tinted older two-story house on a

1594
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,239
tranquil street the station wagon pulls

1595
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,599
into the driveway

1596
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:43,440

across the front yard

1606
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,358

00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:17,679
did he miss the house his steam quickly

1643
00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:19,199
reverses back into the shot

1644
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:20,800
jimmy parks climbs out and a glance at

1645
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,790
the station wagon and discarded

1646
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:23,199

tie he charges up the front porch jimmy

1649
00:51:27,390 --> 00:51:27,920
wraps on the door

1650
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,559
officer of the court silence from inside

1651
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:31,199
unless

1652
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:33,838
is that a tv he goes to the window tries

1653
00:51:33,838 --> 00:51:35,119
peering through the lace curtains

1654
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:36,960

pistol directly into jimmy's forehead

1660
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,790
he has time for a single terrified

1661
00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:49,519
breath before another hand firmly grips

1662
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:50,239
him by the collar

1663
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,920
jimmy offers no resistance as he's

1664
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,159
tugged inside after a beat a man leans

1665
00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:55,679
out of the doorway and calmly scans the

1666
00:51:55,679 --> 00:51:56,318
street

1667
00:51:56,318 --> 00:51:58,800

1673
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:09,599
back inside

1674
00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:11,519
the door closes with the click very wide

1675
00:52:11,519 --> 00:52:13,440
off the quiet house birds chirping

1676
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:19,300

0:02:01.1 -->
teaser scene one macro close and a spiral which fills the frame lazily spinning like a hypno disc we realize it's a cinnabun and as we pull away from it it gets coated with icing and now we see there's a whole tray of them waiting to be slathered with creamy white goodness for indeed we are inside a cinnabon store as a female employee puts the finishing touches on these pastries another young employee slides a tray into the oven we see macro close-ups coffee dripping called heating elements etc and all of this every image in the entire teaser is shown in glorious black and white the place is fairly busy with customers there's also a middle-aged manager close on his name tag says jean jean's got unhip glasses a walrus mustache and dark thinning hair he goes about his work briskly and efficiently exuding neither personality nor attitude honestly we wouldn't give this man a second glance except that we used to know him as saul goodman we are looking at a fugitive from justice exactly as predicted at the end of the breaking bad saul now manages a cinnabon in omaha nebraska

0:03:00.8 -->
this is cut and dried stuff we're watching it's a day in the life of a restaurant nothing more we hear only snippets of conversation no emotions on display neither happy nor sad it's simply work helping out an employee gene expertly packages an order to go handing it off he double takes noticing something there's a customer sitting at a top way in the back of the store and he's hard to tell through those glasses he's wearing but he seems to be staring at jean intently whatever gene's doing it ceases he blinks and stares back sunglasses rises to his feet and starts walking towards us we creep in on gene who exhibits the first hint of emotion we've witnessed fear and though he tries to hide it it's growing clearly the fugitive saul goodman has just been recognized his time on the run has reached an end except sunglasses now walks right past gene gene's head swivels with this guy who pads out the door and waves to a friend outside we suddenly realize the guy's stare only seemed to be directed at gene it never actually was gene gives a secret sigh of relief and willie's his heart beat back to 140.

0:04:01.5 -->
again he's on autopilot back to the grind scene two we cut exterior of a townhouse complex at night cookie cutter townhouses depressing this is where larry from three's company went to die inside the apartment downstairs at night ice cubes clunk into a highball glass dram buoy and some sort of off-brand scotch gets poured making a rusty nail instead of a twist of lemon there's an unceremonious squirt from one of those little lemon-shaped juice bottles jean slurps the excess off his drink walks into the living room this place has zero personality oakwood vibe gene plops down on the sectional fires up his flat screen he channel serves finding something he can tolerate sipping is rusty now and staring straight through the tv a thought eventually strikes him he sets down his drink rises heads for the stairs but before he goes he pauses to check the window blinds their clothes tight complete privacy black frame door opens and light floods in we realize we're in a closet jean neels to pull a couple of familiar suitcases out of the way we'll recall he

0:05:00.8 -->
had these when he took his leave in episode 515 of breaking bad with the suitcases removed a hatch is revealed cut into the drywall at the back of the closet now gene removes from it a dented old shoe box steel kneeling gene opens the box and we get a glimpse inside as he sifts through its contents there are papers some old photos a fat stack of mexican pesos there's an old tin band-aid box that rattles like a half full of pebbles and lastly there's an unmarked vhs tape this is what gene came for he cradles it in his hands back downstairs at night the tape gets pressed into a vcr gene backs in the frame settling into the sofa never taking his eyes off the tv he feels around in front of it for his rusty nail we never once see what's on the tv screen but over a bouncy musical jingle whose refrain is better called saw we hear hey you did you know you have rights my name's saul goodman attorney in law and i'm itching for a fight with prosecutors judges the police anyone who's out to ruin your day so if you're in trouble better call saul

0:06:00.6 -->
[Applause] this is the first in a series of 15-second commercials a second one please and another and another the whole time we stay on gene who stares at them intently but gene shows no emotion no nostalgia no regret not pride his expression is unreadable as he watches yet there's one subtle detail we may note which is that gradually a bit of color spews into this black and white image it's the light from the unseen tv it flickers across jean's face in blue yellow and red off these colors growing brighter more vibrant as dead eye gene sifts his drinking stairs act one interior courthouse courtroom albuquerque city still in the frame we're back in color tilt down to reveal a long-faced judge sitting on his bench peering up at the ceiling staring at nothing in particular he slowly rotates in his chair left to right right to left we hear the squeak of the chair that squeak is the loudest thing we hear even though the courtroom is packed jurors the alternates in the jury box one of them coughs another shift center

seat another idly scratches his ear someone in the crowded visitor section checks his watch somebody else's stomach rumbles the court reporter examines a fingernail then reaches for her big goal takes a sip the lead prosecutor removes his readers picks out a piece of sleep from his eyes frowns at it on the tip of his pinky and beside him we see a second chair seem to be taking notes however a closer look reveals this young woman is actually drawing a barbarian riding a unicorn over at the defense table set three defendants they're clean cut white guys they look innocent they also look nervous as currently they don't have a defense attorney the defendants glance sidelined to one another wondering where he is we hear a creek the judge rotates towards the bailiff gives them a shrug the bale of nods rises to its feet and exits we cut to men's room hands are split apart pressed against a white tile wall a man is alone in here standing as if he's assuming the position in order to be frisked actually he's at a urinal relieving himself we don't get a good look at him at first we're mostly on his back he seems to be murmuring something under

0:08:00.5 -->
his breath whatever he's saying we can barely hear it remember to be let me tell you it's a b19 again yep because because meet jimmy mcgill he's getting ready psyching himself up who is jimmy mcgill you ask well you already know him as saul goodman but at this particular moment we're in 2002 saul is a ways off in the future and jimmy is still going by the name he was born with the door opens behind him and the bailiff sticks his head into the men's room he gives a little whistle says you're on jimmy glances over his shoulder and nods zip goes the fly flush goes the urinal turns to the mirror shoots his cuffs and danger feels his tie it's showtime is he nervous [ __ ] no he owns this [ __ ] place back to the courtroom black frame then we reveal the courtroom jimmy walking through like elvis taking the stage at the international hotel all eyes are on him o to b-19 again you with me ladies and gentlemen you remember 19 because let me tell you

0:09:01.2 -->
the juices are flowing those red corpuscles are core bustling the grass is green and soft and summer's gonna last forever remember yeah you do but if you're being honest really honest you'll also recall you had an underdeveloped 19 year old brain i mean that thing was the size of a circus peanut me personally i was well let's just say if i was held accountable for every stupid decision i made when i was 19 oh boy and i bet if i were in church right now i'd get a big amen which brings us to these three now these three knuckleheads and i'm sorry boys but that's that's what you are they did a dumb thing we're not denying that however i would like to point out two salient facts in fact one nobody got hurt not a soul very important to keep that in mind fact two though the prosecution keeps banning the term criminal trespass mr spinazo the property owner admitted to us that he keeps most portions of his business open to the public day

0:10:00.8 -->
and night so trespassing i mean dave that's that's kind of a reach isn't it huh here's what i know these three young men near honor students all were feeling their oats one saturday night and they well i i don't know look call me crazy but i don't think they deserve to have their bright futures ruined for what amounts to a minute momentary never to be repeated lapse of judgment ladies and gentlemen you're bigger than that jesus jimmy is good he's confident folksy and genuine he's passionate and convincing his three clients smile hopefully things are looking up except why is the jury so very deadpan same goes for the judge didn't any of that land on these people the prosecutor rises to his feet makes his rebuttal he crosses to an av cart tucked in the corner rolls the car to where the jury can see it pushes the tape into the deck and the tv screen goes blue and now up comes a homemade video two of

0:11:02.7 -->
our young defendants are visible in it it's handheld and shaky and seems to take place in a professional laboratory of some sort the guys keep their voices low so as not to get caught they're giggly and dopey proudly documenting their exploits on camera and what are these exploits you ask this is the embalming room of a funeral home and one of the guys hacksaw in hand is sawing the head off an elderly male corpse oh to be 19 again and now as the head comes loose from the hacksaw hacksaw boy dangles it by its white hair most jurors avert their eyes having seen this all before the prosecutor leans against the cart with his fingers laced staring off the floor this is the entirety of his rebuttal he doesn't even need to say a word dude dude stick your wang in the throat hole the three real life defendants shift uncomfortably in their seat jimmy gives them a fake little nod and a wave off it's going to be fine yeah sure it is back in the courthouse in the chief

0:12:00 -->
clerk's office little stuffed animals are proudly displayed on the desk of the court's chief clerk she's staring up through hooded eyes at jimmy who is in mid-rant waving a check what kind of math is that 700 for defense no no per defendant three defendants 2100 which by the way bargain those three maniacs what i did for them they going to jail ain't they so since when is that they had sex with a head okay nobody told you to try all three of them together one trial seven hundred dollars so you want me to spend nine weeks of my life one maniac at a time with three maniac skull [ __ ] you know what you're gonna miss me you you're going to miss me because it'll be a cold day in hell before i uh take any more pd work for this shitty cord sayonara baby and out the door he slams the kirk couldn't care less find a way's in a parking lot pissed jimmy headed for a pearlescent white cadillac of course we remember his famous car whoops he doesn't own that caddy just yet so we adjust to the vehicle part next to it

0:13:00.4 -->
a mid-90s suzuki esteem and yes as the name perversely implies it's a [ __ ] box jimmy plops his briefcase on the suzuki's roof digs for his keys as he does the cell phone rings jimmy checks the readout on his cell and his anger evaporates instantly gets replaced with nervous hope fumbling to answer the call causes to collect himself when he speaks it's with a british accent law offices of james mcgill how may i direct your call oh yes mrs kettleman so good of you to return actually i don't have mr mcgill at the moment but i know he'd oh splendid unfortunately our offices are being painted and the fumes are quite hard could he meet you and your husband at say loyola's cafe on central four o'clock it shall be cheers jimmy hangs up silently pumps his fist he checks his watch jumps in his car barely remembering his briefcase on the roof as the car tears off

0:14:00.3 -->
we find ourselves at a cashier booth a guard arm blocking the exit as the esteem comes to a quick stop in front of it jimmy hands his ticket to the parking attendant we angle past this attendant not seeing his face three dollars i'm validated see the stickers i see five stickers but you're one shy it's three dollars do we recognize this voice boy it sure sounds familiar meanwhile jimmy is antsy to leave and impatient they gave me look i'm validated for the day all right five stickers six stickers i don't know from stickers because i was in that court back there saving people's lives you know that's swell thank you for restoring my faith in a legal system now you either pay the three dollars or go and get an additional sticker by now another vehicle is behind jimmy blocking him from backing up a big reveal we missed the big reveal that was the line we revealed let me back it up then we showed you the 10 words holy [ __ ] we showed the attendant holy [ __ ] it's mike armentrout what's he doing here neither of these two men know each

0:15:01.8 -->
other from adam by the way nor do they care to okay all right and then i say yeah you say i say this well gee that's swell thank you for restoring my faith in the legal system now i either pay the three dollars and go and get an additional sticker there's another vehicle behind jimmy now blocking him from backing up no way is he paying three bucks money's tight son of fine i'm going back going back there lift the do the thing already mike hands him his ticket then lifts the guard arm great job employee of the month right there we find ourselves at loyola's cafe scene 12 were in a booth close coffee gets stirred by a woman's manicured hand her other hand rests atop her husbands i'm just fuzzy as to why you think he needs a lawyer we reveal craig and betsy kettleman i mean craig the way you run your office beyond reproach beyond reproach i'm a he's a stickler with the money he's definitely a stickler he's certainly not guilty of something certainly not he's innocent of any wrongdoing that much is clear to me i

0:16:01.1 -->
don't i don't go looking for guilty people to represent geez who needs that aggravation right look i only know what i read in the paper but here's the thing typically when money goes missing from the county treasury and what's the figure 1.6 million it's an accounting discrepancy a discrepancy absolutely so typically when that happens the police look at the treasurer and since that person is you know uh yeah i just think maybe a little pro activity may be in order i think i'd look guilty if i hired a lawyer actually it's getting arrested that makes people look guilty even the innocent ones and let me tell you innocent people get arrested all the time and they find themselves in a little room with a detective who acts like he's their best friend talk to me he says help me clear this thing up you don't need a lawyer only guilty people need lawyers and boom that's where it all goes south that's when you want someone in your

0:17:00 -->
corner someone will fight tooth and nail someone who will in fact already have your defense strategy mapped out in advance lawyers huh we're like health insurance you hope you'll never need it but man oh man not having it so how would we proceed if we decided to uh jimmy's way ahead of him he produces a one-page legal document which he lays before them as well as a pen this is a letter of engagement very simple straightforward please by all means read it closely if you sign it i can get to work on that strategy of ours this very afternoon mr kettleman iza's wife who scans the letter and seems to see nothing wrong with it mr kettleman picks up the pin we're close on jimmy for whom time slows down jimmy plays it cool of course but for him signing mr kettleman would be like ahab catching the white whale he holds his breath jamie's pov the pin clicks open in dreamy slow motion in this specialty ultra macro shot the huge ballpoint tip lazily descends to the paper it impacts

0:18:00.1 -->
the dotted line leaving an ink spot this is it this is the golden moment when jimmy lands his first big client it's really happening until craig i think maybe we should sleep on it uh sure we should do that yeah don't don't you think mr mcgill uh please call me jimmy uh absolutely no rush oh you know what craig we gotta pick up the kids we'll be in touch thank you for the coffee and the advice yeah you're very very welcome uh oh and here and that's got my number handing them a matchbook with james and mcgill a laura you can trust printed on the cover all smiles and waves as the kettleman's exit the restaurant alone in the booth he slurps his coffee and glares into space [ __ ] he turns and peers out the window as pov we see the kettleman's round their modest vehicle a late 80s mercury stable station wagon and we can't hear the discussion but mrs kettleman's body language is very clear no we're not signing with the very first lawyer we meet she climbs behind the wheel of disabled very much the driver

0:19:01.2 -->
in this relationship jimmy sighs and he's not ready to give up yet fishing out his wallet to pay the bill we see he's got six bucks to his name we now cut to a suburban street in the afternoon we see the suzuki esteem zoom pass we cut inside and jimmy holds the phone to his ear he's in mid conversation balancing a credit card atop the wheel and squinting to read it while he drives 243627 expiration for 2004 and the key word is classy all right super super classy use only flowers that look expensive but aren't and the note should say uh dear betsy and craig best wishes from your stickler for justice james mcgill okay and mcgill is spelled wait what no no run it again but i'm telling you it's paid up run it again bam some skateboarders come flashing out of nowhere and slams across the hood of jimmy's car he cracks the windshield before he tumbles out of sight the suzuki slides

0:20:00.8 -->

0:24:00 -->
knot on his tie scooches sideways to the narrow path to his desk plopping down behind it here there's a dated old multi-line desk phone jimmy punches the voicemail button you have zero messages jimmy isn't surprised business is slow he considers and wriggles his fingers at the phone it's as if he's casting a magical spell on it compelling it to ring it doesn't jimmy gives up sifts through his mail close angles nothing but bill after bill after bill he stops shuffling when he comes across an envelope very expensive volume the return address is that of albuquerque law firm hamlin hamlin and mcgill jimmy considers guardedly hopeful he slits the envelope and inside there's a cover letter there's also a cashier's check jimmy studies it for a long time the check is written to him personally and it's made out in the amount of twenty six thousand dollars holy [ __ ] we've seen how broke jimmy is we know he's in dire financial straits now hallelujah but jimmy is not overjoyed about this sudden financial windfall actually seems to piss him off to the degree that he now tears the check in

0:25:01.3 -->
half and off a grim jimmy we end act one act two we're in an elevator call button filling a frame it finger jabs it lighting it up jimmy waits for an elevator in place we don't recognize it's a new day jimmy is wearing his best acrylic blend suit he's alone here taking a deep breath stealing himself he glances over to a trash can which stands nearby its shiny metal side is prominently dented jimmy stares at it lost in thought ding the arrival of the elevator snaps him out of it he steps aboard we cut to a lobby door slides open on a brand new jimmy now he's confident a master of the universe strolling out of the elevator into the white shoe world of hamline him and mcgill this place is everything a law firm should be it's big and airy screaming money everyone's well-dressed right down to the paralegals and assistance as busy people come and go jimmy smiles and nods hello knows every last man and woman marvin hey alice looking good kevin the employees he passes are reserved it's as if they like jimmy but feel awkward around him there's a hint of pity in their eyes jimmy ignores it with his fingertips he beats a drummer on the reception counter

0:26:04.2 -->
i'm sorry hey brenda where's lord vader south conference room uh uh he's not quite ready for you yet how about you wait out here yeah jimmy strolls out of sight the word receptionist glances after him picks up her phone we then cut to a conference room across the room from us at the far end of this mile long conference table sits howard hamlin and six of his junior partners they've got coffee and danishes and are midway through an informal morning meeting jimmy walks right in without knocking finding himself alone at the other end of this ridiculously long table he throws out his arms embellished his best ned baity impersonation you have meddled with the primal forces of nature mr hamlin and i won't have it way in the distance hamline and his juniors sit blinking and staring at him they're not big fans of the movie network apparently a young female lawyer kim was already on the phone when jimmy arrived into it low and flat it's okay brenda we got it sorry it's this table something just comes over me what can we

0:27:02. -->
do for you jimmy jimmy plops down in an empty chair he reaches in his jacket pulls out a handful of confetti which used to be that big cashier's check he sprinkles it on the tabletop you can tell me what this 26 000 supposed to be for it's money for chuck isn't that what you wanted a measly 26 grand jesus you're like peter menuet with the indians throw in some beads and shells while you're at it it's a start there'll be more unless you're just going to tear them all up and why was the chuck made a check made out to me why not chuck can he make his way to the bank i just assumed it would be the best money to go through you but we'll do it any way you want see if i didn't know any better i'd say this was some kind of half-assed bribe where you throw a little money at me and the sad hope i'll somehow forget what you owe my client wow no not even remotely correct this thing isn't going away howard what chuck did for this firm and damn near single-handedly one-third of this place belongs to him what do you got here

0:28:00.8 -->
15 chairs five of these chairs are chucks three light fixtures you'll take the middle one six danishes you can have all the danishes you want jimmy no no they're chuck's danishes oh and chuck's not greedy he'll only take two plus um 17 million dollars you know somewhere in that ballpark we'll know once we get the accountants in here poking around in the meantime no more penny any checks designed to make it look like chuck still works here he doesn't and he never will again and it's time to do right by him and cash him out so these are chuck's wishes you're conveying yeah this is what's best for him and he has personally stated to you that it's his wish to withdraw from the firm you see that would surprise me well it's been nearly a year since he set foot in here i'm looking out for his best interest so am i i for one believe he's going to lick this thing until then his office is just as he left it his secretary's still in the payroll if chuck can call this an extended sabbatical so can we he's that important to us you know what

0:29:03.1 -->
let's let a jury figure it out they're going to love you howard you're so down to earth and relatable jimmy rises to his feet heads back the way he came when he reaches the far end of the table he wants more bellows theatrically and you will atone more blank stares ned beatty network for christ's sake guys we're back in the lobby close on the call button a finger stabbing it once more jimmy waits for the elevator this time to get the hell out of there the moment he has a bit of privacy as such we get to see his true face he's not as cool as a cucumber apparently the meeting didn't go as hooked jimmy is beaten and he knows it here comes hamlin headed our way jimmy snaps out of his phone hamlin offers him a big manila envelope fat and heavy almost forgot this month's filings you could save me some postage were you listening in there chuck doesn't work here anymore you think i'm gonna help you establish a paper trail jimmy no stop trying to pawn that [ __ ] off on him

0:30:00.7 -->
you know sometimes in our line of work we get so caught up with the idea of winning and we forget to listen to our hearts give chuck my love will you hamlin walks off heads for a nearby office jimmy glowers after him [ __ ] wait it'd get worse for as hamline opens the door to this office we catch a glimpse of the two clients who are waiting inside for him yep you guessed it craig and betsy kettleman smiling at hamlin they greet each other warmly then the door shuts and we're left out here in the cold the wind goes out of jimmy he presses his forehead against the wall jabbing the elevator button again find ourselves back on the lower level elevator landing ding jimmy steps off the elevator into the parking garage is he okay not really because once he's alone down here he kicks the [ __ ] out of that familiar dented trash can bang bang bang it dawns on us why the trash can is dented in the first place having finally managed to kick over the can he stands here with his hands on his knees

0:31:00.3 -->
panting for breath and now we pull back to reveal something jimmy can't see just around the corner is that young female lawyer from the conference room kim she's leaning against a wall smoking a cigarette oddly all that ruckus just now didn't alarm her didn't make her look to see what's going on either she's simply smoking and staring into space jimmy wanders out of the elevator landing headed for the parked cars but when he comes across kim he's neither startled or embarrassed instead he joins her he too leans against the wall staring into space after a moment he takes a cigarette from her lips borrowing it for a puff or two jimmy blows smoke in size he places the cigarette back in kim's mouth finally looking at her couldn't you just no i can't jimmy figured as much he doesn't argue kim stubs her butt in the ashtray smoke breaks over she exits without a word jimmy doesn't watch her go he stays another beat then wanders out of frame headed for his car back to act three upscale cul-de-sac at night headlights flare jimmy's esteem turns a corner he drives

0:32:01.4 -->
past well-tinted houses their lights gleaming warmly in the night and pulls into the driveway of the only house that's completely dark like the neighbors this place is roomy and nicely designed but not a single light shines the house seems untended deserted a rotten tooth and a healthy mouth jimmy pulls two bulging plastic heavy bags and some groceries out of the trunk he tucks some newspapers under one arm goes to the mailbox and removes a stack of mail and now he does something very odd in a routine he's followed 100 times jimmy places his watch key fob and cell phone into the mailbox with everything electronic or battery power hidden away he lifts the bags and heads to the walkway at the kitchen threshold jimmy makes a point of touching the drain pipe before unlocking the door we hear the tick tick tick of a manual typewriter echoing from inside we segue to the kitchen as jimmy enters a voice calls from the next room you ground yourself yeah like the rest of the house the kitchen is illuminated by quietly hissing propane lanterns in other words no electric lights lantern lights flicker over jagged gaps where once did the stove refrigerator

0:33:01.3 -->
and microwave jimmy opens a frat party igloo-sized cooler packaged food floats and melted ice he leans down turns about water girl goes from the cooler into a pvc pipe that runs the outside world through a small ragged hole in the wall jimmy dumps the hefty bags in the cooler turns out they're full of ice cubes he closes the cooler and dries his hands on a towel raising a lantern jimmy heads deeper into the house as he does we pass flex conduit snaking from gashes in the sheetrock the tick tick tick of the manual typewriter gets louder as jimmy enters we reveal the man himself charles mcgill jimmy's older brother a brilliant truly decent man with a few problems surrounded by neatly organized stacks of papers and books chuck hunches over emmanuel olympia pecking out a letter you gotta stop putting bacon on the list that cooler is looking like a trickiness of stew chuck holds up a finger once a successful attorney and a name partner in hamilton and mcgill chuck's life has been destroyed by what seems to be a debilitating allergic reaction to electricity chuck tugs the ladder out of the olympia giving it to jimmy perfect timing professor bronze vogelson

0:34:02.7 -->
university of helsinki you're going to have to get it translated hungry to read the fresh papers chuck grabs the stack and lays them on the mahogany dining table he stands there scanning the pages into swedish finnish i'm sure there's someone at unm can can do it check the language department you do know i'm trying to build a legal practice right vogelson's working on the effects of electromagnetic fields on zebrafish he might oh the financial times you missed it so i thought you know thank you i know it's expensive here come on i don't expect you to go out of pocket go ahead reimburse yourself thank you chuck can can you sit down a minute are you all right you peak it i'm fine please you're not you're not in trouble chuck you've got to cash out you've got to again really you know there's no other way and i don't i don't want i know you don't want to hear it but it's got to happen you know i'm going to beat this you know i'm going to get better yeah

0:36:01. -->
little bit of cash chuck listen to me all right i'm drowning i'm going under for the third time with these bull crap overflow yeah bullcrap overflow pd cases it's 700 a shot public defender work is some of the best experience there is it's pure law i had a case the other day three clients depositions war deer jury trial the whole nine yards would i take home seven hundred dollars i might as well 700 bucks i might as well head down to skid row and sell plasma you're representing people who have nowhere else to turn money's beside the point money's not beside the point money is the point i keep telling have patience there are no shortcuts do good work and the clients will come hey chuck my hand to god i didn't want to say this but you are broke i can't carry us both i've been trying like hell but i can't you're saying what you think you have to provide for me i never asked you for that you didn't have to ask i i have done my damnedness

0:37:02.1 -->
but the day of reckoning is here soon you're going to be out on the street with all the electromagnetism in the world raining down on you like hellfire picture that and tell me money's beside the point that's what has you all worked up jimmy there's nothing to worry about here chuck opens a drawer and pulls out a check he hands it over to jimmy jimmy holds it up to the light it features the distinctive hamlin hamelin and mcgill logo what is this it's a stipend there's going to be one every week 857 from hamline hamlin mcgill i will pay them back every penny i didn't want to take anything but howard was very insistent i'll pay you back too wait hamlin was here it's not like i'm a recluse he put his cell phone in the mailbox he understands the situation he grounded himself of course [ __ ] hamlin has outmaneuvered jimmy with the bleak glance jimmy notices among the papers stocked on chuck's desk is the thick hhm envelope the one handling tried to give to jimmy earlier

0:38:00.9 -->
and the two of you agreed that since as everybody knows you're going back to work any day now the firm might as well help you what make ends meet that's correct minus the sarcasm hamlin's making a jump out of you i am going to get better i'm going to go back to work and i'm picking up where i left off i understand you're trying to look out for me but you're missing the bigger picture so um i was thinking vanguard law that sounds kind of important dora gibraltar legal advisors like like the rock has a nice ring to it or or what about keeping it simple aaa law four eggs that would put you right at the top of the yellow pages chuck howard brought this he's concerned chuck produces one of the james and miguel matchbooks you have to admit it could be confusing hamlin hamlin mcgill james m mcgill it's my name i was

0:39:02.5 -->
