Last week’s episode of Better Call Saul suggested a similar pessimism about Jimmy McGill. The role of Gene Takovic, the manager of the Cinnabon in an Omaha mall, was never something Jimmy would fully inhabit the way he played the role of Saul Goodman. He was convincing as hell as Gene — and responsible, too, given that the first call from jail is about easing the transition to a new manager — but his criminal scheming with Jeff and his partner was an intoxicating return to form.
No one in the room believes what Jimmy is saying here, but the performance is nonetheless convincing because he needs only one juror to buy it. If there’s one thing every lawyer in Albuquerque knows about Saul Goodman, it’s that he has a talent for getting his way in court. Jimmy scares prosecutors into cutting a deal that would give him only seven and a half years in country-club prison and the creature comfort of a pint of Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream every week.
Reflecting on that pivotal night with Walt and Jesse, Jimmy tells the judge exactly what we witnessed on April 26, 2009, in the Gould-penned Breaking Bad episode called “Better Call Saul.” He was as terrified as anyone would be facing an open grave in the desert, but once he takes stock of the situation — and takes measure of Walt and Jesse as rank amateurs — he isn’t terrified at all.
• Money is an interesting wrinkle in this episode because it comes up in two of the time-machine discussions. First, Jimmy talks about going back to May 10, 1965, when Warren Buffett took over at Berkshire Hathaway and investing his half of the stolen bond money, which would yield billions in the future. Later, Walt seethes over his own billion-dollar company getting swiped out from under him by Elliott and Gretchen.
