Better Call Saul S3 Ep 4 | First Time Watching | Therapist REACTSAdded:
My boy's bringing two duffles. He's like, "Man, I got you. I got you. Better call Saul." Season 3, episode 4.
Back to the pool.
Ector Salam.
This is the dude from Breaking Bad.
He was like the main boss, right, in Breaking Bad when Hector was in the um wheelchair dinging the dinger.
And that's when Gustavo came and brought the the special blend.
Hey, look at all Hector walking around living the dream, feeling good.
>> Can somebody tell me what happened to Hector? Do we find out in in better?
Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Don't spoil.
>> I have to the winking Greek.
>> A bobblehead.
Hey.
>> Huh?
>> Was he the guy that was around with the the torta, the big tortoise, the dude's head on it?
Oh, what a shirt like that.
>> My boy's bringing two duffles. He's like, "Man, I got you. I got you."
He actor never measured up. could never measure up.
Three duffles.
>> Oh my goodness.
So, if I get that right from last episode, Mike hooked up with Gustavo.
He shot that shoe, put the stuff down on the truck. It wasn't Los Poo Simonos. It was Hector's operation that got stalled and busted or or stopped. So, they're interrupting all of Hector's work so that they can distribute more so that they can take up more of the property. And Hector's probably sniffed that out.
rubbing it in his face. Hector, >> listen to that dinging like his wheelchair.
>> God, I would not want to work for him.
Boy, place where it all goes down in the end, y'all. Right there. Woo.

Wonder if Hank ever makes an appearance in uh Better Call Saul. Probably not, but that'd be cool.

So that that comes from that bust at the border stop that he shot the shoe for.
>> Sorry, they changed my hours up at work.
I'm still getting used to it. How are you two?
>> We're great.

>> Women, ladies, I I hope to never need your services. I mean, no offense, but if I ever did, it's good to know that yes, I'll be right there.
>> Oh, he does not like people messing with his work establishment. That is a no.
No.
And he does not like Hector.
>> Boy, >> I want you all to go home now.
>> You will be compensated for your full shifts.
>> Normal schedule tomorrow.
>> Go now. We are closed for today.
>> Man, they got to be thinking, "What in the world is going on?"
>> Mr. You sure you want to be left with these guys?
>> I'm fine, Mile. You won't.
>> Ly is a loyal guy.
>> That will not be necessary. Truly, >> you sure?
>> Please do as I ask, >> man. He's really like hardworking dude.
Gus can hold his own.
>> Your actions here today have endangered them, my interests, and those of the cartel.
>> I am the cartel, and from now on, you are my >> Adding more product will threaten the reliability of the entire operation. May I ask, did Donnie Ldio approve this?
>> I approved this.
He is clearly not the cartel. You're doing it.
Those shoes.
He's gotten to him. I mean, clearly whatever he did worked.
Got him right where he wants him, I guess.
Oh, wow.
Got some bands going there. Fat stacks.
Dead presidents.
>> Tell them we're square.
>> What? No.
>> He's like He's like, I ain't doing that.
>> Tell him we're square.
Wow. Mike's tough, man. He doesn't kill people and he doesn't take crap from anybody.
Team meeting everybody going to have to explain something.
>> They ran like the cowards they are back across the border. They will not return.
We will move on from this. That together we will prosper.
>> All right.
Ly. Hey, buddy. Miguel.
>> Lyall's a good team player.
>> Hello. I'm calling to confirm an appointment for Charles McIll. Miguel with an M. I thought it was you guys.
Guess I was wrong.
>> Thanks. Anyway, >> you're trying to figure out who went to repair the front door.
>> 2:30 tomorrow. Great. So, uh, we're going to need to cancel that. Yeah, I will. Thank you.
She's not like she's not that kind of person that would would like do that legally trickery. So, what's going on?
>> I mean it by the way.
>> What?
>> Thank you. Seriously.
>> You're welcome. Seriously, I better get back to it.
>> Yeah.
>> Absolutely sure you got the right guy for this.
>> The creme de la creme.
>> What is he going to do?
Oh, I got to see this.
repair.
>> Yeah, Mr. McIll shows up.
>> This is great. These two, like I said, Chuck and Jimmy deserve each other. They just keep going back and forth. It's interesting this door.
I haven't seen this entrance before.
Like uh Howard came in some back way which was weird. I've seen the front door with the but this is like a side door some with a huge mat in the front.
>> Wiping your shoes.
>> Very thick.
>> This way.
>> What about his phone and watch and whatever?
>> Where do I plug in?
>> You don't >> plug in.
>> No electricity due to a condition that was explained in some detail.
battery.
>> Seem to be making fast work of it. It's good. It's good. Um, okay. What I'll do, I think, is uh is that the front door to his house?
Because it's weird how a front door would go right into the kitchen like that.
Trying to get him out of there.
What is he going to do?
They came after your wiring. Like the whole house is like torn apart with that pictures as evidence with the old Kodak Insta camera.
Remember those?
>> Good.
>> Drop the whole camera off. Get the pictures back.
>> Nice.
>> Great. Love the breakfast. Bacon, eggs, hash browns.
>> Nice to fix something for once.
>> Well, if that's how you feel, I got a leaky toilet back at the office. If you ever need anything from my end, how's the way go?
>> Route 66.
>> Your actions benefited me more than you can know.
>> That's your business. I'm just glad to have Salamanca out of my head.
>> Well, perhaps in the future you will consider working for me.
>> Wow.
>> Could be. That'll depend on the work.
>> Ah, >> there we go.
>> Would you care to know why I stopped you from killing Hector?
>> Like I said, it wasn't in your interest.
>> Bullet to the head would have been far too humane.
This is so good. Uh, wants to make him suffer.
It's so interesting how they have this set up visually. This is a freeway obviously that goes through town or something and that's an underpass, you know, like normally that's just an intersection, I think. I don't know that that's a legitimate parking lot, but somehow they set up a booth and turned it into kind of a parking lot look. But then it goes straight out into a street.
Man, I want to go there and see these places. He's so cool. And hear the buzzing of the fluorescent.
>> Jimmy.
>> Good old Howard.
Oh my gosh. You got to be kidding me.
Such a joke.
>> Jimmy.
>> Hello. Space suit.
You know, the challenge with Chuck, you know, obviously with an anxiety disorder, OCD, that kind of stuff diagnosis. I I don't think I would give Chuck any kind of diagnosis of a um severe mental disorder in terms of schizophrenia, bipolar, or any of that kind of stuff. It really is paired with some type of anxiety and OCD.
and he's got a tremendous ego and he's got a challenger in in Jimmy who it's kind of like in sports when you're like the MVP and you're like the best player on the team, but then somebody comes up on the team that's scrappy, that works hard, you know, that practices hard and manages to squeeze out the same kind of point points that you do or, you know, in baseball hits plays like they just they they they get the same amount of attention or maybe more because they're flashy and they get the job done and that MVP, the most valuable player is like jealous and just trying to find things to get them out of their way because it takes away the limelight. I think Jimmy takes away Chuck's limelight, which means I am good, decent, I follow the rules, which I think he does a lot of great things. I think he's followed the rules. I think he's a brilliant person, great lawyer.
And then all of a sudden hit a hiccup.
And when he did, he didn't get help for it. He just tried to survive on his own.
And it's gotten worse and worse and worse and worse. And I think Jimmy has he's a consumate survivor. He's like the runt of a litter of puppies who just finds a way to survive. And he's not going to quit. He's going to keep gnawing at it and gnawing at it until he gets it. And Chuck wants to prove he's the MVP. That's my biggest problem with Chuck instead of saying, "You know what?
Maybe my brother's had enough. I'll just leave him alone with this one." Because that's all he really had to do was just leave it alone and not record that conversation and let it go because Jimmy really does love him and wants to help him. And I have a feeling just like I thought Kim one day is going to say to Jimmy, "Bye, I can't do this anymore with you." I think Jimmy's gonna say that to Chuck and it's going to be the end of him. It's going to be really hard.
>> Howard Kim >> Chuck Kim >> Kim's so good, >> you know, compensations for this. I don't know like with Americans with Disabilities Act or anything of what would be allowed or not allowed.
But it's interesting how all the accommodations have to be made for Chuck. Like what if somebody's like I need the lights on. Like I can't see in here. Like I I I need to be able to have my phone. I need to be able to like do that. Like I can't do my job unless I have everything that I need, but it goes against what he needs. like where's the breaking point of I'm pull out my laptop and I've got to be able to look things up because I don't know that he has I don't think Chuck has any diagnosible on paper thing that he could present to anybody that says I am diagnosed with this and therefore I need these accommodations.
Poor Howard. Howard's now got to deal with Chuck. I'm actually kind of liking Howard.
Oh, bring your coffee in. There we go.
>> Good.
>> Mr. McGill, does this work for you?
>> It'll have to do.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> I assume everyone left their cell phones and so on at reception.
>> Yes, indeed.
>> I don't understand that, though. Like, as a person, I don't know the law. I don't know exceptions.
How is it that somebody gets that many accommodations just because they say they have a condition?
I don't see anything anywhere, maybe I'm blowing this up and making too big a deal of it, where Chuck has some condition that is written out and he needs these accommodations because I think every doctor has said maybe you need treatment. Maybe you need treatment and he does he needs therapy. He may need inpatient treatment, but I think with the way he's doing outpatient would be fine, but even if it's somebody coming into his house, he needs treatment, but I don't think he would accept it. So why can't I have my laptop, my phone? Like I got to I got to work on it. You'd think they could push that.
>> You let me know if you need a break or anything else.
>> Oh my god. Talk about favoritism. You've got to be kidding me.
>> Speaking to my husband about your condition.
>> Oh >> condition.
>> About the frequency of their voices really did a number on her.
>> Well, that is a shame >> indeed.
>> Oh, Howard.
>> We are here to finalize the pre-prosecution diversion for James Morgan McIll. Representing the divert, Miss Kimberly Wexler.
>> Divere, >> you must maintain lawful employment.
Must only associate with law-abiding citizens.
>> Your client understands that if he violates the terms of the agreement or is arrested for any infraction.
>> I think she's about to be snookered here. I feel like she's all appropriate.
I'm running this show. I'm going to tell you what you got to do. You got I got it all set up. I feel like they're going to throw a singer in here on her like, "Nope, we're not doing it." prosecuted to the full extent of the law in addition to any new charges.
>> He understands.
>> Mr. I thought they were going with this deal.
>> The confession you've written is adequate, but frankly I I sense a lack of remorse and I for one would like to hear an apology.
>> Oh my gosh. Give me a break >> now.
>> Yes, Mr. McGill. Now, >> I was wrong.
>> Mr. McIll, could you at least look your brother in the eye?
Oh my gosh, >> this is something else.
>> I'm very sorry.
>> Look at Chuck. He's like, >> I regret it all. All of it more than you can imagine because cuz you're my brother and no one should treat his own brother like that. Not ever.
>> Vice versa.
>> The amount is $321.
I believe the correct amount is $323.98.
That includes the cassette tape which was destroyed.
>> Good. Thank you.
>> Including the cassette tape.
>> I'm missing something. I thought they were going to fight this.
I didn't realize.
Learn to get the creeps.
>> See you again.
What was that sound?
>> Well, what? Bingo.
>> There's an original.
I love the two of them walking out like that. They work so well together. Oh my gosh. I can't believe it's over. I can't believe it. No, it can't be.
Man, what are they doing? I just want to know. Oh, and sometimes I can guess things so well, but here I can't. Does that mean they're going to break in to get the original?
What's going to happen next? I thought they were going to fight it. I think they're going to fight it, but there it's like they laid over and I think they're getting them to just be lulled back to sleep so they can jump in and feast.
