- Yeah.

- And you're lawyer.

- Yep.

- Two lawyers.

How 'bout that?

- How 'bout that?

M&M.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.

Yeah.

All right.

Hey, you got to tell Howard, uh, to add another "M" to the firm - 'cause it'll make it more symmetrical.

- Uh-huh.

And people love symmetricality.

- I can't argue with that.

- Yeah.

Oh, no, no.

Come on, J Sit Yeah.

- Okay.

- That'll do.

Okay.

Yep.

- That's why God gave us two eyes - Oh?

You know, more pleasant to look at.

Hands and two feet, thumbs and nipples.

We could get by with one nipple.

- Yeah.

- Am I right?

You may be more right about this than anything you've ever spoken about before.

Thank you, Chuck.

Four or six nipples it's interesting, but I submit to the court it's, uh it's overkill.

H-H-M-M.

"Hmmmmmm.

" See?

That's better.

H-H-M is just "Hmph.

" - No?

- Yeah.

You're writing this down.

Jimmy, I-I put a trash can by the bed just in case, you know, - in the eventuality - You think of everything.

You're very smart, Chuck.

All right.

And there's some water here for you, too.

Thank you.

What do you feel like in the morning - eggs or pancakes?

- Pancakes.

Make those pancakes you make.

- Pancakes it is.

- Yeah.

Get some rest, Jimmy.

You've had a big day.

Yeah.

A big day.

Yep.

- Good night, Chuck.

- Good night.

The winner takes it all The loser has to fall Besi - Beside the victory - Victory - That's her destin - That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there - I figured it - It was - It made sense - Sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules He's got a three-and-a-half-hour jump on us, but he started out on foot, which gives us a fighting chance.

He doesn't have his passport, so he's probably not headed to the airport.

Doesn't know his way around town, but if he gets to a bus or a taxi, that's not gonna matter much.

Most likely ran off towards the highway.

You two, head north and south, see if he's got his thumb out.

You two, go to the train and bus stations and use the cover story.

You, you stay with the crew, - you keep them on lockdown.

- You got it.

Yeah, um, I need the number for Travel Wire.

Just connect me.

Hi.

I was, uh, wondering if you could help me.

I arranged for my wife to wire me money from Frankfurt, Germany, to the U.

S.

The problem is, she didn't tell me which branch.

Margarethe Ziegler.

Yeah.

A-Albuquerque branch on Fourth.

I should have known.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Watermelon, pickles.

Watermelon, pickles.

Watermelon, pickles.

Watermelon, pickles.

One-thousand-one, one-thousand-two, one-thousand-three.

Oh.

Hi.

It's very nice of you to come.

Of course.

You are Chuck's brother?

That's right.

- I'm Jimmy.

- Ken.

Greenfield.

This is Emily Reed.

Hello.

We knew Chuck back in our time with the Native Peoples Education Council.

Oh, yes.

I remember.

He spoke of you both quite fondly.

That means a lot.

I feel bad we lost touch for so long.

Well, you're here today, so We saw the notice about - the law library dedication this weekend.

- Mm.

And today was the anniversary of I can't believe it's been a year.

It still doesn't make any sense.

Well So nice to meet you.

- God bless.

- Bless you.

Very thoughtful.

Boo-hoo-hoo.

Boo-hoo.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You need some water?

- Coffee.

And give me one of these bear claws, please.

All right.

You better pace yourself, though.

It's gonna be a long day.

Yeah.

But, hey, we got customers already.

That's a good sign.

I was afraid no one would show up.

How'd it look?

How'd it feel?

Felt like I looked sad.

What's the headstone like?

Oh, Howard picked the big one.

But it's tasteful.

Hermoso cariño Hermoso cariño Estoy como un niño Con nuevo jugete Contento y feliz All right, just sign right there at the bottom.

Okay.

Then we give you This is your receipt.

Just make sure your party has valid I. D.

when they pick up.

- Anything else?

- No.

All right.

Have a good day.

Can I help you?

Uh, yes.

It'd be wonderful if you could.

I'm, uh, looking for a Werner Ziegler.

Has he been in here in the last few hours?

I'm s I'm sorry.

Even if he was here, it's not company policy to give out customer information.

Even if he just walked in?

I don't care about what he did.

Well, I really can't.

He is my brother-in-law, and we're very worried about him.

He has early stage dementia, and on top of that, he's a diabetic.

He doesn't have his medicine, and my wife is beside herself.

Oh, no.

Uh, W-We talked long-distance to their sister, Margarethe, back in Germany.

She said Werner called ranting and raving, wanting her to send money, and, well, she said she did, to this branch.

I have his insulin in a cooler out in the car, and I was hoping I would get here ahead of him.

Look, yeah, he was here, but you missed him.

He left about an hour ago.

Oh, no, no.

Damn.

Just took the money and left?

Yeah.

Well, not right away.

He made a couple calls on the pay phone, picked up his money, then left.

And, what, just wandered off on foot?

He got in a car.

Um, I think one of his calls was for a cab.

You see what company?

- Was it a regular taxi, car service?

- I didn't.

- I'm sorry.

- Mm-hmm.

Any chance that that I might have a a peek at your security video, see who got him?

No.

Oh.

I get it.

Not company policy.

Then could you tell me where the nearest hospital is?

He was here a good half-hour or so before his money order came through.

He asked if his money came, but not yet.

- You mind?

- Oh.

Well, that's bad luck.

- You can't see the car.

- Yeah.

Thanks for your help.

Sure.

Good luck.

Hope you find him.

Can I see it?

For what it's worth, I believe him.

He said he'd be gone four days.

He's not going to any cops.

This is about him wanting to see his wife, plain and simple.

She's on a Lufthansa flight.

Landing in Denver nine hours from now.

Yeah.

And your men will be there.

And they'll follow her from the airport to wherever he's holed up.

And then?

There's another way to play this.

If I can find him before the wife gets here, let me bring him in and finish what he started.

His crew can't do it without him.

If Ziegler disappears, you are left with the most expensive hole in the ground this side of the Mississippi.

You can find him?

This is on me.

I'll fix it.

Yeah.

You get everybody back in.

Get them on the phone to every cab company and car service.

You make up a story.

Find out who picked Ziegler up at the Travel Wire on Fourth.

And start calling hotels here, Colorado, Arizona.

He had to register under his own name or his wife's.

Pull the transcript on the last call to his wife.

Read it to me.

What'd they talk about?

No.

After that.

After the dog.

They were gonna go on vacation.

Baden-Baden.

Natural springs.

Hey, there.

Did you find your brother-in-law?

Is he okay?

Yes, I'm calling for one of your guests.

Um, Werner Ziegler.

Right.

Z-I-E-G-L-E-R.

You're sure?

And there's no reservation under that name?

Con el amo De la plaza Hay Que tener más cuidado Porque lo ven muy tranquilo I won't lie.

It's been a tough year.

But I'm proud to say Hamlin Hamlin McGill is back and going strong.

It's his lasting legacy, which is why this couldn't be more appropriate.

I know this would have meant the world to him a good and proper memorial for a man who was many things, but always a lawyer first.

On behalf of the whole school, we want to thank you.

Me?

No, I didn't donate any of this.

I'm just a guest.

Really?

Dude, I'm pretty sure I heard someone say - you paid for all of it.

- Yeah.

Well, I didn't.

I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't.

The invitation says "anonymous donor.

" I assumed that meant HHM.

Huh.

- Baked Brie?

- Don't mind if I do.

Actually, I happen to know Mr.

James McGill paid for the reading room himself.

Really?

The brother did this?

I saw him write the check.

How much do you think this cost?

- Hi, Rich.

- Hey.

This is quite an event.

Looks like half the attorneys in the southwest are here.

Yeah.

- They all came for Chuck.

- Mm.

I heard someone say that Jimmy paid for all this himself?

He'd prefer to remain anonymous.

Oh.

Mm.

Mm.

Well, where is he?

I was hoping to say hello.

Uh, he's around here somewhere.

Oh.

Isn't that him out there?

Hmm.

I guess even a year out, an event like this can be tough.

I better go check on him.

- Thanks for coming, Rich.

- Yeah.

It's almost time to go back in.

$23,000.

I can't believe I wrote a $23,000 check for this.

You know?

I don't even see anyone from the bar association in there.

We still have almost a week.

Someone on the board will hear about this, and they'll believe it because they heard it from a colleague.

Yeah, I know.

Word gets around, but Try this on for size.

Judge Papadoumian is in her chambers.

She's working late.

Everyone else has gone home.

Suddenly, she smells something, something burning.

She crosses to her door.

It's warm to the touch.

She opens it.

Whoosh!

Wall of flames.

Her clerk's chamber's on fire.

And she's trapped.

But then, through the fire and smoke, a figure emerges.

It's Jimmy McGill.

See, I rescue a judge.

Now, that, people are gonna talk about.

And it's it's too big, and probably it's not how I come back from "insincere.

" Right.

Okay.

Wanna go back in, get your money's worth?

Yeah.

I'm starving.

Those little hamburgers are looking good.

I'm allowed to pay for the food, but I'm too sad to eat.

Z-I-E-G-L-E-R.

He is?

You don't know if he's on the property at the moment?

No.

No, I don't need to talk to him right now.

No.

No message.

No.

Thank you.

You have a nice day.

Get out of the way!

Go!

Sorry.

It's just not working.

- Excuse me.

- Hello?

I'm at the north gate.

And the machine is stuck.

- At which gate?

- The north gate.

All right, if everyone's ready.

Folks, this is Duncan Springer.

He's a senior from Mayfield High School in Las Cruces.

Duncan, have a seat.

Duncan's editor of the school newspaper, and his Model UN delegation represents Kazakhstan.

In fact, Duncan's delegation was selected to visit the real UN in New York City.

Duncan, what can you tell us about that?

- Oh, it was - This is Marcie Ramirez.

She's from Moriarty High.

Please.

She's captain of the debate team.

What's your strategy gonna be, Marcie?

- I think it'll - This is Franklyn Pickett.

He's from Manzano High.

Please have a seat.

Franklyn is school president, and he wrote a play.

Franklyn, what can you tell us about your play?

- It's - Teodora, how did you get interested in Ethiopia?

- Well - Kristy, - what's it like working with elders?

- It was Raymond, how'd you manage that?

I've All right.

Things are becoming much clearer now.

Can I let them go?

- Uh, have they had lunch?

- Yes.

Unless there's any additional questions?

Oh, uh, did they all get the - Yes, they did.

- Great.

- Thank them again before leaving.

- Of course.

Here's where we are Raymond Chin six votes, Duncan Springer six votes, Marcie Ramirez five votes, Franklyn Pickett, Teodora Moon, and Tristram Bolger three votes each, and Kristy Esposito one vote.

Well, looks like we have three scholarships to give and three front runners.

So, unless there's any disagreement, I think we can Uh, Jimmy?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, the one vote for Kristy Esposito?

That was me.

And for what it's worth, I-I think we should give her another look.

Esposito?

That's the shoplifter?

The shoplifter.

Ya That's right.

I mean, her grades are good.

Maybe not quite as good as some of the other kids, but they're good.

And her recommendations are solid.

And, yeah, she's had some trouble, but, um, she was new in town, and she made some bad choices.

And that was sophomore year.

She's had two really strong years since then.

And have you all read this?

Her essay is well, that experience is what got her interested in the law.

And it's really good.

It's really good.

And my point is that maybe someone who's been in trouble, someone who doesn't have a perfect record, you know, who's made mistakes and faced the consequences maybe she brings something that the others don't.

I think that deserves real consideration.

Jimmy, you make a hell of an argument.

How about we take another vote?

Kristy!

Ms.

Esposito, hold up!

Hey.

Jimmy McGill.

Hi.

We met inside.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

You didn't get it.

You were never gonna get it.

They They dangle these things in front of you.

They tell you, you got a chance, but I'm sorry it's a lie because they had already made up their mind and they knew what they were gonna do before you walked in the door.

You made a mistake, and they are never forgetting it.

As far as they're concerned, your mistake is just it's who you are, and it's all you are.

And I'm not just talking about the scholarship here.

I'm talking about everything.

I mean, they'll smile at you, they'll pat you on the head, but they are never, ever letting you in.

But listen.

Listen.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't because you don't need them.

They're not gonna give it to you?

So what?

You're gonna take it.

You're gonna do whatever it takes.

Do you hear me?

You are not gonna play by the rules.

You're gonna go your own way.

You're gonna do what they won't do.

You're gonna be smart.

You are gonna cut corners, and you are gonna win.

They're on the 35th floor?

You're gonna be on the 50th floor.

You're gonna be looking down on them.

And the higher you rise, the more they're gonna hate you.

Good.

Good.

You rub their noses in it.

You make them suffer.

You don't matter all that much to them.

So what?

So what?

Screw them.

Remember the winner takes it all.

I've gotta go get my bus.

You You understand what I'm trying to tell you, right?

Yes.

I think I do.

All right.

All right, go get 'em.

Damn it!

Damn it!

God damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!

No.

No.

No.

No.

- Can I help you?

- Hey.

Uh, my friend was here earlier, um, bald fellow, about so tall.

Yeah.

Did, uh, they find his brother-in-law?

Is he okay?

No, no.

No, we haven't found him yet.

We're really worried.

- I'm sorry to hear about that.

- Yeah.

So, I was wondering if there's maybe something that, you know, my friend missed.

I showed him everything I've got.

Show me what you showed him.

Maybe you should just call your friend.

I did, and, you know, he told me to come back and take another look.

I I'd really appreciate it.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

You better just call the police.

Sure, sure.

Travel Wire.

This is Fred.

Fourth street.

Nearest cross street is Lomas.

10:00 p. m.

Yeah.

Okay.

Have a great day.

Thank you.

Ahh.

Is there a Mr.

Ziegler here?

Mr.

Werner Ziegler?

Oh, uh, yes.

I am Ziegler.

There's a call for you.

Oh.

Ja.

Uh, uh I will be right there.

Thank you.

This is Werner?

Yes.

Who is this?

I'm calling on behalf of Gustavo Fring.

Ah, yes.

I see.

Is Mr.

Fring very upset?

What do you think?

Please let him know the work will continue.

Did Michael show him my letter?

I explained everything.

Uh, no, Michael hasn't shared that with Mr.

Fring.

The letter has specific instructions.

My men will be able to continue a few days without me.

The work will go on.

Ask Michael.

Michael.

Michael's very busy, and he asked me to speak with you.

Do you remember what your instructions were?

Certainly.

They are to finish clearing the debris, then begin the south wall.

That's the south wall?

The south wall, yes.

The concrete is standing by.

They can start pouring.

It's very straightforward, so Kai will kno The "concrete form"?

Sorry.

I didn't get that last part.

Could you repeat that?

Werner?

Werner?

Mr.

Ziegler?

Michael.

Is that you?

I'm so sorry if I Get dressed.

Michael I don't wanna hear another damn word out of you.

Go.

Hey.

- Hey.

- I think I got something here.

Take a look.

The problem might have been starting with "Remorse," so I'm trying to work into it more gradually.

Uh, "The Law," "Plans," then "Remorse," then "Brother," then "Legacy.

" What do you think?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

How'd it go?

We gave three very bright young people scholarships.

Good.

All right, we can work on this.

I know it's a lot, but this is one time you do not want to wing it.

Yeah.

Jimmy, the hard part's done.

Reading room, scholarship, cemetery.

By now, they've got to have heard about some of it.

We set up the dominoes, and now you just knock them down.

I can say whatever I want.

To the board, I'm still that guy.

Well, you got to say something.

What if, uh What if, um What if Chuck does the talking for me?

Wait here.

- Yes?

- I got him.

Where are you now?

Out by an old raceway off 55, about 8 miles north of San Ysidro.

Where was he?

A place called Dulce Vega Hot Springs up in Jemez.

It's got to be where his wife is headed.

Something else.

Yes?

When I found him, he was on the phone with an interested party pretending to be one of your guys.

What did he tell them?

Nothing useful.

- You're certain?

- Yes.

You have any idea who it was?

I do.

All right, I'll bring him in now.

No.

Keep him there.

Wait.

I'd go another way.

That I know.

That'd be a mistake.

This discussion serves no purpose.

Wait where you are.

I'll take care of it.

Are you sure?

Yes.

God damn it.

Get out.

I want to know what your end game was.

What did you think was gonna happen?

I thought I would come back and my friend Michael would be very, very angry, but in time, he would understand and forgive.

It was never up to me.

Oh, Michael, look.

I know I've made trouble for you, and I'm very sorry for the damage I caused.

I will repair what I broke with my own hands, but, please, Margarethe will land any minute.

Soon, she will be at the motel.

Please take me back there.

Let us be together for a little, huh?

Let her see me and know everything is okay.

Ah, please, Michael.

I go back now, I go back in the morning what difference can it make?

It's not gonna happen.

Let me speak to Mr.

Fring.

I will explain everything.

I will make him understand.

You're not gonna talk to Fring.

Oh, please.

I know if I Werner, nothing you can say or do will make anyone trust you again.

I will go home.

I will never breathe a word of this ever.

The money I give all of it back.

I will tell no one.

I s-swear.

It will be as if none of this ever happened.

Please, Michael.

You know I will keep silent.

You know it.

Please.

Does your wife have a cellphone with her?

Yes.

I need you to call her now.

She landed an hour ago.

But she knows nothing.

And you need to keep it that way.

She's being followed.

She's followed?

She goes back to the airport, nothing will happen to her.

Surely they could not they would not Hey, pull yourself together.

Give me the phone.

I call her now.

- Calm Calm Dow

- Give it to me.

Calm down!

She can't suspect.

It doesn't matter what you tell her, as long as she goes back where she belongs.

Hello.

Ja.

Will she do it?

She was very angry, but, yes, she will go home.

Michael if she does not hear a word from me, she will ask questions.

She will go to the police.

There will be a story, an accident.

Lawyers will visit, German lawyers.

Her questions will be answered.

This you swear?

This I swear.

And my men?

They're going home.

They'll be okay.

They're trusted.

Is there no other way, truly?

There are so many stars visible in New Mexico.

I will walk out there to get a better look.

Wow.

I mean it's incredible.

I feel like we've been talking about this forever, and now here it is.

An architectural feat.

Truly.

Herculean.

This is This is Yeah!

I can work with this.

I mean, it's not exactly what we talked about, but it has possibilities, even unfinished.

Uh, ventilation at this point is the main hurdle, but with a series of fans and the right equipment, I am certain that I could do a rudimentary cook at the very least.

Not until it is ready.

Oh.

Um, of course.

We only want to do it if it's done right.

I was just exploring possibilities.

I am gonna go up and check the Okay.

Oh.

Hello.

Of course.

That won't be a problem.

Where do you have it?

Okay.

This should do it.

Chuck wrote a good letter, huh?

Chuck wrote a great letter.

It's not just the words, though, you know?

It's how you read them.

Jimmy, whatever happens in there I'm with you.

Mr.

McGill, we've reviewed all the facts, the same facts as the hearing committee.

We've evaluated their findings.

All that's left is for us to hear your prepared statement.

So, whenever you're ready.

Thank you, Your Honor.

I-I don't have a prepared statement.

But I do have this.

Um, it's a letter from my brother, Charles McGill.

He left it to me in his will, and I received it last year after he passed.

"Dear Jimmy, I have left many things unsaid in our relationship through the years.

Rather than allow these unspoken thoughts to die with me, I've chosen to record them here for you.

I hope you will take my words in the spirit in which they are intended.

I remember quite clearly the day you came home from the hospital.

You can't imagine the joy on Mom's face.

I can honestly say I never saw her happier.

" I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

I was I was just gonna try to I was gonna try to move you all with my brother's eloquent words, you know, pull on your heartstrings, but it's not right.

This letter's between me and him, and it should stay that way.

Listen, my brother, Chuck you you knew him.

He loved me in his own way.

He loved me as a brother.

He did not love me as a lawyer.

Big reason I became a lawyer was Chuck.

He was the most brilliant man I ever knew.

And an incredible lawyer.

You know?

And, uh, he knew exactly who he was exactly.

And all my life, I wanted to make him proud.

And he was not an easy man to make proud, you know?

Like climbing Everest without supplies.

If you were one of the lucky few who reached that peak, even for a moment, if you made him proud, wow, what a feeling.

Whew.

And he let you know it, too.

But if you weren't one of those people he was polite enough, but he did not suffer fools, you know?

And he could be judgmental and difficult.

And he knew how to get under your skin.

And could be a real son of a bitch.

Chuck was the one who was always right always.

And usually he was.

You know?

So, for a guy like me I did lousy in school.

I lacked ambition.

I always cut corners.

I mean, for me to live up to the standards of Charles McGill I mean, look at me.

I'll never be as moral as him.

I'll never be as smart.

I'll never be as respected.

I'll never be as good as Chuck.

But I can try.

I can try.

If you decide, and I get to be a lawyer I'll do everything in my power to be worthy of the name McGill.

And if you decide I'm not a lawyer doesn't matter.

I'll still try to be the best man that I can be.

I'm lucky.

I got this letter.

I never had a chance to write him a letter and to tell him all the things that I should have.

And I got to believe that somehow somehow he knows.

Oh, that's That'll have to do it for me.

Sorry.

Thank you.

I knew you could do it!

I knew you had it in you.

- That was so great.

- I mean, yes.

They They have to reinstate you, right?

- They just have to.

- Uh, yeah.

Did you see those suckers?

That one assh*le was crying.

He had actual tears!

Jesus, Kim!

Listen, I started reading the letter, and I just knew it wasn't I could tell by their faces it wasn't gonna be enough, right?

So I just went off on this flow, you know?

I had this energy going through me.

It was like improv or jazz, and then boom!

I sunk the hook in!

I am so lucky I have this letter.

God, I could see the Matrix, you know?

I was invincible.

I could dodge b*ll*ts, baby.

And you were right.

You were right.

It was all about Chuck the whole time.

Oh, Mr. McGill, you're still here.

There's some good news.

- Believe me, I already know.

- Oh, good.

Then if you want to come with me to the office, there's some paperwork for you to sign.

Absolutely.

Let's do this thing.

Oh, and, sweetheart, I'm gonna need one more form a DBA because I'm not gonna be practicing under the name McGill, so Shouldn't be a problem.

Just down the hall, we have all the forms.

- Great.

Great.

- Wait.

Wh Wait.

Jimmy, Jimmy, what?

S'all good, man.
