I really lost sleep last night...because I really love "Better Call Saul" ! The season finale made me feel like I was being slapped in the face...but I'm so happy! The first 9 episodes of this season (especially the second half of the season) have been creating a feeling that Jimmy is constantly blackening and Kim can't hold back. When it broke, it suddenly slackened again, and there was no fault! But in addition to these two loose, there are two tight , that is, Hector gets sick and Chuck kills himself. To use an inappropriate figurative analogy, both hands are holding a vase. The main line of Jimmy and Kim is the right hand that exerts force from above, and the branch line of Hector and Chuck is the left hand that supports the bottom. After the ninth episode, The right hand has been raised very high, the left hand can hardly hold it, and the vase is about to break. In the tenth episode, the right hand is suddenly put down, and the left hand is firmly held up. The vase comes back to the front and is slowly appreciated... But we know that , the vase will be broken sooner or later, and keeping it this time means that it will be even more heart-wrenching when it finally smashes! This " moderate relaxation " is both like Tai Chi and dance, and it brings a wonderful and intoxicating rhythm - I can only say that the lawyer's control and play with the sense of rhythm is so deep that it is consummate, at its peak, and has reached its peak. The state of transformation!
two pine
After the car accident, Kim went to have a cast, Jimmy went to the hospital to visit her, and helped her pick up all the scattered documents on the way back.
Jimmy worked hard to pick up every piece of paper in the darkness and the night wind, and felt Jin's hard work and difficulty, while Jin watched him tossing in the second seat, and also felt Jimmy's sincerity and love...
This car accident was a tragedy, but it accidentally stopped the two people who were drifting farther away, and turned around to look at each other who was somewhat unfamiliar but still familiar.
Then the two had a long-lost "two-person world", with Jin lying in bed recovering from his injuries, and Jimmy taking good care of him.
At this time, Jin's habit of "be strong" still exists. Not only did he ask for "good things", but he ignored the reality of inconvenience in eating, and warned Jimmy, " Don't feed me , some boundaries cannot be crossed".
Jimmy complied with King's wishes, and then suddenly said that he agreed to sublet the office, and also revealed that he was going to fire Francesca.
Of course Kim was surprised by this, do you really want to do this? Are you afraid of running out of money after taking the settlement fee?
It wasn't about the money, it was Jimmy who, after the accident, started to put himself in Kim's shoes , "After all this happened, I didn't care what happened to the office."
Kim was moved by Jimmy's understanding and support. Influenced by the other party, she also began to reflect on herself :
"I could have killed someone...I was at work most of the last week, probably only slept six hours, and then I...run three traffic lights with no recollection..."
Both of them seem to have gone astray on the road of saving face and being stubborn. This sudden accident is equivalent to calling an emergency time-out rudely, making them re-examine themselves and each other: How much have you done wrong? How much has the other party done?
Jimmy stepped forward to comfort Kim and said, "I'll get it done." The relationship between the two also eased back.
The frankness of the two this time is not only a warm exchange of hearts , but since then, they have both decided to make changes .
gold
In general, Jin's physical condition is okay, and there is no serious problem. While visiting and comforting her, Francesca also told her that there is still hope for the work to be delivered on time...
Obviously, Francesca still regarded Jin as a workaholic at this time , and what she did should be very competent for Jin who was familiar with it.
And at the beginning, Jin did nervously count the remaining dates again - at this time, the ethereal BGM sounded, and Jin was slowly in a daze, in a trance...
Then, she suddenly made a decision, quit, and help me push all arrangements away.
Francesca was caught off guard by Kim, but obeyed.
Not only that, but Kim also made a request of wanting to go to a place - and then she went shopping happily , buying 10 movies in one go without panting, and at the same time instructing Francesca on how to make sense Smoothly dismissed or changed hands of various jobs ... Laziness is such a thing, theoretically everyone has a talent.
When Jimmy came back, Jin was living a leisure life of eating, drinking, watching movies at home, and she also decided to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" again . Her ambition was considered by Jimmy to " fight for justice and change the world" .
By the way, in this film, King yearns for Gregory Peck's Atticus lawyer, a conscientious, noble and upright role model, but it may not end well in the end...
Jin's mood at this time has undergone a huge change compared to before. She began to "learn" from Jimmy, trying to live more casually, eating, smiling, not forcing herself all day long, she should see herself Achievement and rejoice in it.
"I changed the world by helping a mid-sized regional bank transform into a mid-sized regional bank, and I am awesome ." (Of course, this is more of a self-deprecation)
In the end, did Jin change from hard work to laziness and get worse, or from tightness to balance and get better? This is inconclusive, we only know that she has changed.
Jimmy
Knowing that he has done a lot of "wrong things", Jimmy decides to repair the relationship that has been ruined, or to make up for those who have hurt - Chuck and Erin.
After struggling for a while, Jimmy gritted his teeth and stomped the door to chat with Chuck. As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned by the sight in front of him: music, lights, refrigerator... Is this still my brother?
"One thing happened that made me think about our conflict, and in hindsight, I would say, I could have made a different choice. If I could do it all over again, I might have made a different choice. How to deal with it , I just want to tell you this."
That's right, this time Jimmy pulled his face down to look for his brother who should have cut off his brotherhood, and he sincerely apologized . But Chuck always showed an attitude of indifference, need, and meaninglessness, rejecting Jimmy thousands of miles away, so that Jimmy couldn't help but argue with him, "Did you not do anything wrong?"
It would be nice if the two of them could fight, but Chuck insisted that there was no need to reconcile and understand, the two of them would just keep the status quo, and even said, "I don't want to break your heart, but the truth is, you never meant anything to me. how important."
Speaking of which, Jimmy couldn't speak anymore. Chuck made it clear that he didn't want to build a bridge between brothers. It was useless to spend more words. Jimmy could only turn his head three times in one step, took one last look at Chuck, and said goodbye to his brother.
After I commented last week, I had a long (almost quarrel) debate with a few readers about Jimmy's cheating, focusing on the hurtful nature of Jimmy's words and deeds, and I insist that no matter how good the old folks' early reconciliation actually turns out to be , can't change the fact that Jimmy hurts others for his own sake. Even if everyone gets the money, the relationship between Irene and her best friends can't be restored. Jimmy ruined the only remaining years of her life.
The plot of this episode confirmed my thoughts that reconciliation in advance will not change the fact that Irene is being ostracized by the crowd .
Jimmy brought a heavy gift to visit Irene, just to understand that he used her to achieve his goal, which made her very uncomfortable. Driven by guilt, Jimmy just wanted to do everything possible to make up for his fault .
For Erin, being rich doesn't make her happy, she wants to get back with her sisters now , so Jimmy goes to other people to "reason".
In fact, the girlfriends have already recognized the "essence" of Irene, and they will reconcile with her.
They will only feel that they can't go back to the past. Irene doesn't think about it for everyone. She agrees to reconcile now just to get everyone's support. "How can you trust a person who can only see the wind? Her sincerity?"
Jimmy regretted it even more at this time. He didn't expect his alienation plan to be so successful and profound...
He wanted to take the blame on himself, but the old ladies just thought Jimmy was sincere, friendly and generous, and the sinister Irene didn't deserve Jimmy's kindness .
How to solve this dead end? In the face of Jin's concern, Jimmy admitted that walking into a dead end was irreversible. He did everything he could to make the old ladies feel even more, "Jimmy, you are too kind, that dead old woman is not worth what you do."
"The more I try to get them back together, the more I can't achieve my goal, and they like me more... I don't know what to do, I'm not good at building relationships, but I'm very good at alienation. "
For Jimmy's helplessness, Jin bluntly said, " Make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses ".
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. Jimmy finally came up with a solution, and his first reaction was " No, damn it."... But for Mrs. Erin Landry's irreversibly tragic old age, he could only do what he didn't want to do.
The plan begins. Jimmy came to Sandpiper Todai for a chair yoga class, and not long after the start, Erin Brill (the little fat girl who oversaw Jimmy's words and deeds in the second season) came to him for a theory. .
The two went out to talk, and with the microphone on, they played a play to all the old people. Little Irene said that she knew why the old people changed their minds about the settlement agreement, and pointed out that Jimmy distorted the truth and only for his own selfish interests. ...
Jimmy, on the other hand, said that he could sacrifice an old lady happily for the sake of money:
"Do you know how much time I spent listening to them nag about all that nonsense? Of course they have to trust me, it's the trust I fought so hard to earn, betrayal? If it's between me and a million There are only some old lady's tears, then I suggest to give her facial tissue, who cares about her. And then again, she doesn't have much time to live . "
There are truth-seeking truths and falsehoods to add to the atmosphere , but the effect is immediate .
Then Jimmy came back to class pretending to be nonchalant, only to realize that something was wrong.
So, old Irene left with everyone with a sad face, leaving only an old lady who spat on "you're so shameless" .
Jimmy does not "build" but "destroy", so in order to pay off his debt to Erin, he can only destroy himself.
As I said last time, Jiyadu hopes to reconcile this lawsuit as soon as possible, and the two law firms HHM and Davis Main hope to drag it out. The old people have become a tool for the two sides to compete for profits ... Little Irene is out of her own. The point, cooperating with Jimmy in this play is to make old Erin reconsider the settlement agreement, and her goal has been achieved.
Still, what she said came from the heart .
I'm not just acting with you, I really wanted to scold you like that just now!
Jimmy knew all this, but he said, "I know, thank you."
note
At the end, Kim and Jimmy have emptied their lawyers for subletting, and formally fired Francesca.
Jimmy also lost his business card, because "I am notorious in the tri-state area, and no old people will come to me anymore. I have to develop a new business model." Ke Jin picked up the business card, which was very meaningful. "That's not necessarily true," reassuring Jimmy.
It is worth mentioning that Jimmy did not wear a common polo shirt or suit at this time, but put on the cultural shirt of the law school he had attended, and his eyes were indescribably determined and magnanimous .
" This wall is really good, we will have another wall, a better wall ." After the two kissed, they left this small law firm that had been painstakingly run for a long time.
Frankly speaking, if Jimmy is still persistent in the finale, determined to do evil to the end, Kim is obsessed with Jimmy, or he is dead set on Jimmy, etc., the lawyer's drama is still a first-class work;
But at this moment , he ingeniously let Jimmy "discover his conscience". He and Kim each took a step back, learned to understand and compromise, and the two who were about to break up were reunited. It was incredible but reasonable , which turned the lawyer into a super-class work. .
After all, we have seen a lot of people who have turned bad for money ... and it is rare to see people who can do anything for money, but at the same time embrace innocence and kindness, not to mention how cool it is to see the complexity and struggle of human nature !
two tight
In the finale, while relaxing the main line, it also tightened the two side lines that were quite heavy in the scenes. This relaxed rhythm made me admire the five bodies.
What's more interesting is that the two protagonists in it correspond to the theme of the fourth episode of this season. At that time, Hector and Chuck could still rely on the old and sell the old, trying to keep their last glory, and at the end, they both We must accept the harsh reality of withdrawing from the stage of history ...
Hector
According to the original plan, Nacho brought Hector to his father's shop. He tried his best to introduce the layout of the site and the future delivery process, and strongly stated that he would be responsible for everything... In fact, he hoped that Hector would To stop provoking his dad.
But the old man prefers not to open the pot and lift it.
Hector doesn't care about the specifics, he just wants to talk to the shop owner, Manuel - not just to get a taste of the victories and the high-ranking people, but to judge whether the new cover is safe or not. reliable.
However, his courtship (or demonstration) had the opposite effect, and Manuel, an honest man with a kind and duty, couldn't help but tell the truth ...
Seeing that Hector's face changed, Nacho was impatient. First, he comforted and threatened Dad to think more about his relatives and not to do stupid things impulsively .
Then chase it out and tell Hector not to worry about his dad , he'll figure it out, I'm in charge.
But the problem is that Hector doesn't trust him at all. Even if Manuel is temporarily deterred by his obscenity and agrees to cooperate, who can guarantee that he will not betray himself tomorrow?
This also means that Manuel, who knows the business of the Salamanga family, is an unstable threat. With Hector's style, he may silence Father Nacho at any time .
Nacho really panicked.
On the big night, it was obviously an important occasion for Hector to meet with Bolsa. Nacho, who was supposed to hold a gun to support the scene, couldn't help but want to kill Hector. It shows how impatient he is...
However, what Nacho was going to do was interrupted by two other lads who arrived (in addition to a common minion, and a previously excellent distribution boss).
At this meeting, Bolsa and Gus appeared together, and he spoke face-to-face with Hector on behalf of Eladio: " From now on, there is only one route outside the country to transport our goods - Gus's truck. Just So, but you have to understand that this is just for efficiency, not disrespectful to you or your family ."
Although it sounds nice, it means that Hector's previous occupation of the Gus transportation route was self-defeating. Now that he has lost his wife and lost his troops, he will no longer even be qualified to transport drugs in the future. He and the Salamanga family have been grouped together. "Forced Retirement".
Hector went crazy on the spot: You little brats! You should kneel and lick me! My family and I built an entire business, Salamanga paid and bleed, and now you're killing us like dogs!
It's not that the old people don't remember the old feelings, it's just that the times are changing too fast . Hector, who was furious, fell ill again, and this time it looked more serious. Taking medicine didn't help, and he fell directly to the ground.
In the audience, only Uncle Fried Chicken reacted first, and gave orders in an orderly manner: You guys should call an ambulance immediately, put away your guns, Bolsa immediately left, and give Hector CPR again ...
"You can't die, old bastard!" Can you believe it? Gus is speaking the truth now.
And what is Nacho doing, who is looking forward to Hector's death? When the boss fell to the ground, there was no panic on his expression, only undisguised anticipation and excitement, and then he picked up all the capsules silently. Give the emergency doctor and watch the ambulance leave.
Nacho was engraved with the word "suspicious" in capital letters all over his body. How could Uncle Fried Chicken not see it when he was alive and well ?
In the future, the exchange between the two of them will be very interesting...
Chuck
It's the only time that Chuck has never been finished, and the finale is what he deserves because of the performance of the finale - the story begins and ends with the kerosene lamp .
The episode opens with a young Chuck telling his younger brother Jimmy a story, the "Maybe Adventures" that the two brothers mentioned in the first episode of the season . The original warm picture of the two brothers loving each other quickly appeared discordant .
Jimmy asked after listening to the paragraph: Will she be alright? ...how do you know (it's okay)?
" Listen, and wait and see," Chuckler told his brother impatiently .
The difference between the two brothers has been reflected since childhood: Jimmy likes to hit Huanglong directly and grasp the results; Chuck is used to step by step and meticulous.
Back at the moment, Chuck said with confidence to the top of HHM, it is not worth it to go to court, and the trouble is to destroy the sign, the law firm can buy me out, but I don’t have so much money, and I don’t want to destroy my share The foundation... so there is a third option: "Why don't we leave all these unhappiness behind and continue to develop, as before, I'd love to let the past be the past, if you agree, we only need to hold Shake hands and everything is settled ."
In the face of Chuck's "friendly hand", Howard did not accept it, but instead opened his mouth to talk about it separately: "It took us almost 18 years to build this place, and it has been very good... Now your concern for the law firm is caused by Personal grudges take the place, you prioritize your needs ..."
I just suggested that maybe it's time for you to consider retirement, and your first reaction turned out to be to sue me? ! Sue a law firm? ! ... What is this not called betrayal?
Chuck still wanted to go on and argue with Howard, but the other party didn't say a few words before he kept his mouth shut.
Howard chose the second way that Chuck said, and gave Chuck three million first - he would rather use his own money and part of the loan to fill the big hole that Chuck opened, rather than let him return to HHM again. .
The problem is not about money or reconciliation, but through Chuck's behavior, Howard fully understands his person and means , even if this hand still holds a sharp edge, it can be invincible against the enemy, but it has festered and sore. , and more importantly, it may also cut himself with tremors - so after a brief hesitation, Howard still made up his mind to break his wrist and let HHM and Chuck cut off.
The only condition is "Let's get together and break up, at least announce your retirement, and stop hurting our law firm."
Chuck obviously didn't expect Howard to be able to do this. His original intention was to fundamentally prevent retirement... But it was too late. Chuck could only force a smile and say goodbye to everyone, and then with loss, regret, Regret and the so-called 3 million left the law firm he built.
He obviously had nothing left, but in the face of his brother's "good intentions" to reconcile, Chuck was still indifferent, and he still tried to show "I'm fine" with all his face.
Look carefully at what Chuck said to Jimmy : " Why regret , what's the point? Why torture yourself like this when you're in so much pain ? . , you hurt others, again and again, and then staged a drama of remorse and self-blame, I know you think this is not acting, I don't doubt your true feelings, but what's the point of putting on such an expression? If you don't plan to change You are unwilling to change your own behavior, save your routine, in the end, you will hurt everyone around you, and you can't control yourself. So stop apologizing, face the facts, and accept ..."
That's really what Chuck said about Jimmy - but don't you think it's a lot like what Chuck is saying about himself?
A well-respected legal elite with a lifetime of glory, but only gained awe but no closeness. His beloved wife left him, his younger brother turned against him, and now even his closest partner is desperately throwing up blood to abandon him ... Regret is useless, Self-blame is useless, apology is useless, after all, like his younger brother, he hurt everyone around him uncontrollably ... So let's accept the fact that he is dying alone.
" I don't want to break your heart, but the truth is, you were never that important to me ."
Chuck's words are both true and false. From childhood to adulthood, he did love and even still loves his brother, but the countless bumps and pain points prevented him from embracing this blood thicker than water.
When Jimmy leaves, Chuck can only pretend to be calm—
When Jimmy finally "walked clean", Chuck quietly raised his eyes and looked in the direction where his brother was no longer...
Then, Chuck, who was sleeping alone at night, began to slowly collapse .
First, I turned off all the power sources, and then I started to struggle with the electricity meter. I turned off the treatment appointment, and then I concentrated on tearing down the house to find the electromagnetic source that was not necessary in the house.
Dr. Cruz had previously advised Chuck not to be so impatient. Forcing himself to cure "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" like this might be counterproductive... Now, Chuck, who finally collapsed, began to suffer from psychological backlash.
Then began a long one-man show with almost no dialogue - Chuck demolishing the house , which is similar to Mike demolishing the car in the first episode. The difference is that Lao Mai's car dismantling gives people the feeling of being ripped off, not arrogant or impetuous, but Chuck's dismantling house reveals a feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, creepy madness and depression .
I won't go into the details of why Chuck's electric meter keeps going. I read that some science students seem to explain it well, so I won't talk nonsense...
And I think he's just mentally ill and out of control, it doesn't matter if the meter is running or not, Chuck can always find a reason to drive himself crazy.
The proof is that after Chuck smashed the meter, he continued to demolish the half-demolition house completely beyond recognition .
He has already said everything he should have said, and now Chuck can only stay in the house alone with the kerosene lamp in front of him - this reminds him of his youth when he was young, telling stories to his brother, and also reminds him of Libei After Ka left, his more and more serious illness reminded him of the careful care and love of Jimmy and Howard...
From here, finally here. Dryness in New Mexico + old wooden houses + demolition and combustibles = you're dead, Chuck.
I also don't want to speculate on Chuck's psychology and feelings here. I only know that a good work will make people fully understand and recognize the plot that happened in it. How much can accept Chuck's fateful ending .
PS: The third season of "Breaking Lawyer" is over, familiar with my friends, do you feel that something is missing?
Every time I write a full season review, I'm used to writing some closing thoughts and comments , like yesterday when "American Gods" ended S1, but not today...what does that mean?
——Yes , although the lawyer will not be updated next week, opllx still intends to update the lawyer's drama review , is it unexpected? Surprised or not? ! And after the end, the drama review will no longer stick to the content of a single episode. I will play with the theme and content at will. Please look forward to it. You are welcome to pay attention to the "Love Comments Area" !
