From Season 3, Episode 8 'Slip' - Jimmy is pushed to desperate measures as Nacho picks up a skill. Meanwhile, Mike explores an alliance and Kim stands up to Hamlin.

Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Chuck was right to be concerned. Slippin' Jimmy with a law degree is unstoppable.

I think an important part of this scene is when the guy actually pays Jimmy. It's one of the few times Jimmy gets rewarded and I think it sets him on the path to working with "criminals" and turning on the system

[Rodrasroom]

Bob was made for this role. God bless his health.

[ComicalRealm]

Jimmy has superpowers. He can literally talk anyone into doing pretty much anything

[dougpeters]

Please take care of yourself Mr. Odenkirk we need you around for a long time.

Do you guys remember when Walt wanted to stop Jesse from carrying out his plan and poisoning the two drugdealers? He told Saul that he should put him away temporarily, not like in a 'proper jail', but in 'one of the situations when people are in an orange jumpsuit picking up litter along the highway'. To which Saul replies 'Yeah, that's jail'. I think this BCS episode is a reference to that. Saul was doing exactly what Walt described later.

In another timeline:
"Im suing you personally"
"Ok bring it on in in the union they'll provide me with their own lawyers"

The thing that’s so great about this show is how Saul is a great salesman. Not just in his ability to persuade but how anyone who’s in sales notices his skills

[danielsevillajr]

Thank God Bob Odenkirk is back and doing well. Just makes it more anxious to see what's going to happen in the season finale! Oh we're getting closer and closer to the Breaking Bad timeline.

[sjacrane]

This guy could sell crutches to Usain Bolt 🤣

[TheSeanoops]

It's amazing what can be accomplished when you know the law, or at least convincingly pretend to, and the person you're talking to doesn't. It's exactly how cops can scare people to consent and comply to otherwise unlawful acts and orders. Like you consenting to them search your car without a warrant, or giving up your ID when ordered even if the officer doesn't have reasonable articulable suspicion that you've committed a crime. The lesson, don't be ignorant to the law.

I have a feeling a judge would dismiss that suit pretty quickly, but the guard doesn’t know that. And if the judge DOESN’T dismiss the suit, the guard would be as bankrupt as Saul predicts. It would also force the State of New Mexico to establish clear guidelines about guards’ personal liability - which would cost a lot of money for the state to codify. If Saul had thrown in that last part - the guard would have let the young fellow go AND sent Saul to the hospital right away.

The horseshit that comes out of Jimmy’s mouth lol. Christ he can mess with anyone

[maxsperling]

It was a bluff a very convincing one. He just knew the guy would never want to deal with this bs it wasn't simply worth it. Usually he can bully people around, but Saul is not just some guy, he is a great lawyer, he didn't stand a chance. Fear wins over everyone eventually.

"The land of the free and the home of the lawsuit" is now my new favourite quote from the show.

[Aurik-Kal-Durin]

They really should've included the part where the guy actually pays Jimmy. That's very important to Jimmy's character development, incentivizing him to break the law rather than uphold it.

[SpitefulAZ]

Missed the best part! The mug Mueller says that was like Jedi mind tricks.

[j.d.]

This scene is a perfect reminder that lawsuits are not always about winning. Sometimes they're about draining bank accounts and financially crippling the defendant. Winning the lawsuit would just be pouring salt on the open wound.

[petitor_veritatis]

Odenkirk nails the character of Saul Goodman. They really couldn't have come up with another actor. There's so many complicated layers and circumstances that human beings encompass and he exudes all of this on the show. Great screenplay & writing!

[adequatequality]

You combine street smarts with book smarts and you get the perfect (criminal) lawyer
