02x03 - Amarillo

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Better Call Saul..."

Clifford Main hired Jimmy.

He had his doubts.

Truth be told, Kim Wexler pushed for this.

You faked evidence.

Mmm, I think you're splitting hairs.

Why would you risk the best job you've ever had for some pro-bono case?

I was hoping, maybe, you could do me a favor.

Anything you need, I'll be there.

You still in touch with your people?

Depends on the type of work you're looking for.

You tell me what you got.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Why are you here?

To bear witness.

Howdy, folks.

Could someone tell me if Mrs. Alma May Urbano is on board?

Alma May Urbano.

There you are. Hello, dear.

Very good to meet you.

My name's Jimmy.

I tried to visit you at Sandpiper, but they wouldn't allow me to.

Hey, you know what?

It doesn't matter.

I saw your bus broken down, here you are.

Lucky me.

Do you prefer to be called Mrs. Urbano or Alma May or just plain Alma?

My last name is McGill, but you can call me Jimmy.

Hey, everyone! My name's Jimmy McGill.

I'm an attorney at law, but, uh, don't mind me.

Just talk amongst yourselves.

Now, Alma May, do you recall responding to a mailer from my law firm, Davis & Main, of Santa Fe, New Mexico?

I... I don't know.

Well, we were looking to help any Sandpiper residents who may have been overcharged for, uh, basic goods and services.

Now, does that ring a bell?

Oh! Maybe. Was it yellow?

It's canary yellow.

I picked that color myself.

[Chuckles]

Well, ma'am, I'm here to make sure you get your money back.

Man: What are you talking about?

Who took Alma May's money?

Uh, well, now, that's a very good question.

And thank you for asking, mister, uh...?

Amos... Amos Lydecker.

Mr. Lydecker, Jimmy McGill.

Now, nobody took anybody's money, uh, exactly.

Okay?

It's not like the Sandpiper people, you know, put on a ski mask and, uh... mugged Alma May here at gunpoint.

So I want you to put that mental image right out of your head.

See, what we're talking about here is more of a... it's just a discrepancy.

It's... it's a little thing.

It's... it's fairly innocent.

But we need to fix it.

Do you follow me?

Well, put it this way.

Alma May, let's say you're out on a date with your boyfriend.

You do have a boyfriend, right?

[Laughter]

Ah! You don't?

Come on. You...

Alma May's holding out on me.

[Sighs]

Do you have a nephew?

Nephew? Oh, y-yes... Steve.

Okay, Steve.

Is he a good guy?

Yeah, very good.

Okay.

So, let's say you and Steve go out to dinner at, uh... well, Birdie's.

That's where you're all headed today, right?

[All murmuring] All right.

So, both of you have a great meal.

It's chicken-fried steak and green beans, and it's all perfect.

Here comes the check.

"Hey, wait a doggone..."

24 bucks for a side of buttermilk biscuits?

"That doesn't sound right, now, does it?"

[All murmuring]

No, it does not.

It sounds like something got added up wrong.

Well, naturally, you send your nephew Steve to talk to the manager, and naturally, the manager corrects the mistake.

And what's more, he gives you a coupon for a free meal next time you come in.

How about that?

[All murmuring] Good.

Well, same kind of thing is what happened at Sandpiper Crossing.

[Sighs]

And nothing makes me sadder than to see people of the Greatest Generation... people like my own Nana and Bobo... gettin' overcharged by some great, big company... even if it was an accident.

[All murmur]

Now, I know that the good people at Sandpiper want to make this right sooner or later, but you know what?

Well, sometimes, it's just easier if you get your nephew Steve to go take care of it for you.

And that's how I want you to think of me.

["Jealous Heart" plays in background]

Georgiana.

Hey, there, Georgie girl. Thank you.

Oh, it's all there, everything I need.

Thank you so much. Enjoy your lunch.

Alma May, you did it.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Thank you, Henry.

All right.

Hey, Sue. Okay.

Beautiful penmanship.

A lost art.

♪

Schweikart and Cokely are pursuing an aggressive strategy, but looking at the relevant case law, I don't think it's going to play with this magistrate judge.

I read over a dozen of her rulings, all of which have sided with the plaintiff on cases like this.

I've included a memo to that effect in today's materials, which you can peruse at your leisure.

Cliff: Thanks, Erin.

How about we move on to client outreach?

[Man clears throat]

Howard: Jimmy?

You still with us?

[Clears throat] Uh...

I'm gonna save you from having to brag.

Over 200 new Sandpiper clients signed over the past three weeks.

Well-done, Jimmy.

Thank you. Thanks, Cliff.

Uh, right now, we're in the process of mapping out the entire southwest, targeting the largest Sandpiper facilities first.

Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Fort Worth, Provo... that's just for starters.

Ideally, my goal... another 200 by the end of the month.

With this many folks, we have an excellent sh*t at a solid batch of plaintiffs for the classes in each district.

Cliff: Excellent.

Look forward to the next report.

On to a stickier wicket... coordinating actions.

I'm sorry.

Before we move on, I'd like to go back to client outreach just for a moment.

[Sighs] Looking over these numbers here, really, astonishing results, Jimmy.

Incredible.

Your last trip to Amarillo, you came back with 22 new clients.

24.

24. [Chuckles]

I'm confused.

Um, how many people out there actually responded to our direct mailer?

One.

Oh. Right. Yeah.

A Mrs. Alma May Urbano.

But you got 24 new clients from this one response?

That is... [Chuckles] Wow.

Well, you're welcome.

I mean, what? Is there a problem?

Well, uh, might not some parties... the opposing counsel, for example... see this differential and conclude that there may have been some solicitation involved?

I did not solicit.

I'm just wondering how you account for your success.

Because it will definitely raise eyebrows over at Schweikart & Cokely.

I'm sorry, but it will.

Particularly in a case involving seniors, for whom the ethical guidelines on solicitation were virtually created by the ABA.

Chuck, I'm sure that...

Jimmy, if you could clear this up, that would be helpful.

I went to Amarillo to confer with a client and to make sure that we had a solid, good-faith basis for our case there, overall.

And as many of you are aware, I've visited more than my share of retirement homes.

These are close-knit communities.

Let me tell you, word gets around real fast.

If Dorothy in Phase Two gets a new Rascal Scooter, well, it's big news.

So these other 23 residents, they approached you.

Cliff, they heard the scuttlebutt before I crossed state lines.

And I certainly didn't have to go knocking on any doors.

And is it any surprise that they want to speak with the guy who was there to show them they may have money coming their way?

I gotta tell you, with all that in mind, I should've done better.

[Chuckles]

Makes sense. Howard?

Chuck?

We good to move on?

Cliff: And, Chuck, not incidentally, it is absolutely vital that we dot our I's and cross our T's here.

Invaluable.

So, thank you.

The price of excellence is eternal vigilance.

Indeed. [Chuckles]

Howard: Coordination.

I believe that's where we left off.

That's right.

Brian, this is your thing, so why don't you take this?

Sure. [Clears throat]

Brian: Considering the dimensions of these cases, taken together and individually, it makes sense to designate someone to handle the scheduling.

What I'm proposing is that we create a small team at D&M dedicated specifically to coordinating all elements of the individual actions.

We'll loop in HHM on anything...

Uh, Brian, I'm sorry.

Excuse me for interrupting.

Uh, I just want to say that I take Chuck's point.

I do.

I mean, this is, like, a wife-of-Caesar type of thing.

There can't even be a hint of solicitation.

So I'm gonna pull back.

All right, no more meet-and-greets at the Sandpiper facilities.

I'll find another way to proceed.

Cliff: Well, Jimmy, we'll leave that up to you.

You know, client outreach is your department.

Uh, where was I?

Okay, right.

If we have a more consolidated nerve center here in New Mexico, where the...

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey, Kim, uh, where can I get a copy of that Neiderman deposition?

I've got an extra Neiderman, Jimmy.

You can have one of mine.

Oh, wow. Thanks, Erin.

Yeah, no worries.

sh**t. Where'd I put that?

Thanks, that's...

Man, do you believe Chuck in there?

Jesus. Solicitation?

Let me tell you, when we were building this case, I was chasing down 80-year-old mall walkers.

That was solicitation.

But did he say "boo"?

Bullshit he did.

What happened in Texas?

Nothing.

I did my job.

You didn't do a song and dance in the dayroom for the old-timers?

No. No.

Not... not in the dayroom.

Jimmy, you know solicitation can get you disbarred.

This matters.

Well, here's what I think matters...

24 senior citizens now have representation.

Before I went, they didn't even know they were getting ripped off.

Now they have us in their corner.

How is that not a win?

You said in there you'd find another way.

Did you mean it?

Sure. Absolutely. I...

[Scoffs]

Look, I...

I need you to understand something very critical here.

sh**t.

I put myself on the line to get you this job.

Uh, okay.

I thought it was 'cause I'm sensational with old people.

Yeah, and who do you think told them that?

So, what... you threw me a bone?

No... assh*le.

You know I believe in you.

But then I made my beliefs known to them.

And now everything you do reflects back on me with Howard, 'cause ultimately, I talked him into going out on a limb for you, too.

Do you understand?

It's... it's... it's my word, it's my judgment.

Yeah.

You and I both know you can do this job.

But please, you just have to do it right.

[Indistinct conversation in distance]

Well... you want to make sure you put in the batteries the right way or he won't work.

Then you close them up.

And...

I think... I think you're good to go, young lady.

Why don't you give his foot a squeeze?

[Motor whirring]

[Laughing]

[Laughs]

[Chuckles] He's funny!

Oh, darlin'.

I think I'll name you... Mr. Snuggles.

Are you hungry?

Kaylee: I'm gonna get you some mashed potatoes.

That should get you through to next month.

[Vehicle passes]

Mike, thank you.

But you shouldn't feel that you need to...

Too late.

[Kaylee talking indistinctly]

Something up?

Mm.

Feels like something's up.

No, it's...

I didn't get much sleep.

My head's... I'm sorry.

You tell me it's none of my business, I'll drop it.

I don't want you to worry.

Not the worrying kind.

[Sighs]

[Kaylee talking indistinctly]

Last two nights, I heard g*nshots.

First night, they were maybe a block or two over and woke me up.

My first thought was firecrackers, and that's what I assumed at the time, but then last night... there's no mistaking it.

There was three of them.

They were quick... pop, pop, pop... closer.

It was...

[Whispering] Like they were right outside the house.

You call the cops?

[Normal voice] Yeah.

Took them over an hour to get here, then they looked around for a whole two minutes, but by then, of course, there was nothing to see.

[Kaylee laughs]

I'm staying here tonight.

No, Mike, no.

That's not necessary.

No, it is not a problem.

I'll take the couch.

Mike, you asked, so... I answered.

Please don't make me sorry I told you.

[Toy pig whirring]

Kaylee, come, hmm?

Get your supper.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

What about Colorado Springs?

Um...

283 residents, and we sent out 283 mailers.

Yeah, and how many response cards came back?

Zero.

Zero?

[Sighs]

Son of a bitch.

Dana, Toni, have a good one.

You, too, Mr. Main.

Cliff, uh, could I have a second?

What's up?

Uh, yeah, it's the Sandpiper mailers.

Yeah, we should be getting responses of like 12 to 15 percent, but we're getting ones and twos.

In Colorado Springs, zero.

Wow. How can that be?

I'm thinking it's the staff.

They're tossing the mailers before they can reach the residents.

Maybe they got told to do it by the Sandpiper front office, which would be actionable as hell.

If we could prove it. Big "if."

And to do so would take more manpower than I can spare.

For now, let's just stick with getting those client numbers up.

Guess you better think of another way.

I think I got it.

TV commercial. Highly targeted.

Let me tell you, at Sandpiper, the trains run on time.

Mussolini would be proud.

Every one I visited so far, same exact schedule.

10:00 a.m., water aerobics.

2:00 p.m., line dancing.

So on and so forth.

They always leave 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. free.

Why? "m*rder, She Wrote."

[Chuckles]

It's been in syndication since like the 1850s, and let me tell you, when that thing comes on, it draws the blue-hairs like moths to a bug zapper.

[Laughs]

3:14 p.m., end of the first-act cliffhanger, first commercial up, Davis & Main.

Guaranteed eyeballs... lots of 'em.

There's nothing Sandpiper can do about that.

We ran a commercial a few years back... another class-action case.

Kind of a new thing for us.

Now, it's not exactly my go-to, but generally speaking, I'm open to it.

We will talk next week.

Great.

Safe travels.

Mesothelioma is a rare lung disease, usually associated with exposure to asbestos, a known human carcinogen.

Long-term inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious or fatal illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Remember they worked real hard to get that just right.

To get what just right?

Oh, the... the swirl.

They wanted it kind of nebulous, but not too nebulous.

Then there was the issue of the speed.

I remember there were a lot of meetings about that.

...victims and their families.

I'll bet.

That's 505-242-7700.

Yo, check it out.

This happens to be very valuable.

Yeah? What is it?

It's for her nephew.

So, come... join me.

All right.

Now, look, teamwork makes the dream work.

Together, we can make something... dare I say it? Bravura.

And this is a golden opportunity, especially for you guys, 'cause it's gonna play all around the Southwest, so who knows what it could lead to?

It better lead to a hundred bucks each.

What is it with you and money?

Saving up for a VX2000.

Hey, pop quiz... what do we three have in common with the greats...

Welles, Fellini, Bergman... the biggies?

What?

All three of them... to a man... worked in the highly lucrative, creatively rewarding field of advertising, and tonight, we join them.

This is heady stuff, right?

Okay. So, pay attention.

We open on granny, and she is rocking.

So she's back and forth, just very back... and forth.

And then, very slowly and smoothly, the camera, uh... moves towards her...

Dolly?

A dolly... good.

See a dolly here?

You guys didn't bring a dolly?

Nope, no dolly.

You didn't ask for a dolly.

Gotta ask, dude. Dolly's extra.

It's true.

Okay, no dolly.

Um... [Chuckles nervously]

We will improvise, then.

Stay with me.

She's rocking.

She's shivering.

She's clutching at a tattered shawl.

[Shuddered breathing]

They turned the heat off on her, these evil bastards.

[Chuckles]

She's cold and hungry, she's friendless.

This is heart-rending stuff, man.

Okay, it's a oner, and it's sh*t in glorious black and white.

We can do that, right?

Yeah.

So that's it?

I didn't dream it, Mike.

The day after it aired?!

I only ran it once, just in one small market.

It was kind of an experiment, all right?

Kind of under the radar.

And in all fairness, you did tell me client outreach was my department.

Don't be disingenuous.

This commercial... I take it my firm's name is mentioned?

Yes. Yeah.

Jesus...

He didn't tell me you were a g*dd*mn arsonist!

Cliff, to be fair, I don't think, uh...

Uh...

I apologize if there was any misreading of the situation on my part, but there's a very positive headline here.

Now that kind of return on investment you can't g...

Tomorrow morning, 8:00, my office, with the partners, and we want to see this thing.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs]

[Man screaming]

Anything blow up yet?

[Screaming continues]

[Engine shuts off]

Feeling cautious?

You gonna tell me what we're doing here?

I've got a problem.

Okay.

This problem...

I can't solve it myself.

This problem... is it a who or a what?

There's a guy.

I need him to go away.
