Little heart, I can't stand it - this is the second episode of this season, and it has already exploded to such a degree that it has the explosive appearance of the season finale , so how can we look at it later?
I thought that the biggest highlight of this episode was the debut of "Uncle Fried Chicken" , which was indeed the case, but when Jimmy rushed to Chuck's house and shouted hoarsely, we also felt the shock of the heart .
The climax comes, but it sticks directly to your face without any pretentiousness at all, and when you have a premonition that another climax is coming, it bursts out again in another chic but acceptable way ... A masterpiece that can give the audience such a feeling , how can we not love.
Elite Club: Gathering
In the opening scene, right after the end of the last episode, Mike followed the person who took the gas tank cap ("Uncle Fried Chicken" Gus's horse boy) and waited for another small boss to join them.
When the little boss asked about the battery of the tracker, Mazai replied: "It's fixed, it still lost the chain in the end , but we replaced it a few hours ago."
This invisibly answers a possible bug: what if the other party changes the battery and finds that something is wrong ? It seems that the horses are more willing to believe that the tracker is broken rather than out of power, and consider the possibility of failure more than exposure - and this risk is completely affordable for Mike, who is already tracking.
Mike followed the tracker's signal. Now that he was in the hands of the little boss, he naturally had to adjust his direction .
Along the way, Mike has seen the skills and secretive style of Uncle Fried Chicken .
However, the clues were broken when they reached the fried chicken shop - just like the " DEAD END " on the road sign next to it, Mike's tracking temporarily went to a dead end.
Since the tracker is still in the fried chicken shop, it can only start from this public place .
In desperation, Mike switched to a second-hand car and continued to follow the fried chicken shop. On the other hand, he hired Jimmy to act as his scout... After all, in Albuquerque, Jimmy was the only one who could help him like this. people .
From not making troubles or acquaintances in the parking lot, to getting the police under control, to partnering to solve the Kettleman family, helping the pig teammates as evidence, and taking Mike to recognize the misplaced gallery...
The two protagonists, Jimmy and Mike, already have a very tacit understanding and mutual trust and mutual assistance . So, once again Mike has an errand, and it certainly won't be boring , and Jimmy accepts the invitation, because Mike has managed to arouse his curiosity .
Isn't that just stalking ? trivial. And this has probably become the biggest mistake in the stable Mike plan -although Jimmy is good at all kinds of tricks and tricks, as far as surveillance is concerned, he is such a layman ! Is there any reason for you to stare straight at others from beginning to end? Anyone with a little heart will find you.
Here I have to praise the drama in the fried chicken shop: I have seen all kinds of big scenes, but my heartbeat and nervousness are made by these extremely ordinary scenes, which are completely ordinary life scenes, people come People came, took their seats, and got up, but Jimmy was the only one who was monitoring the situation. This strong sense of difference created a very good tension .
And in this atmosphere of relaxation and uncertainty, "Uncle Fried Chicken" Gustavo Flynn appeared quietly, completely in the background, without even showing his face.
The passerby armor, like the air, is the big boss of the entire force. This is also the best disguise of Gusi . In his eyes, his subordinates have been exposed under unknown circumstances , and there is a sullen show full of disobedience. The man stared intently.
Just a little effort was enough for Gus to remind his subordinates to leave, and Jimmy's surveillance naturally yielded nothing, and he even went to dig through the garbage afterwards, and Gus gave him the anti-general of the first army .
Bewildered, Jimmy returned to the car to report to Mike. Mike didn't get an answer, and the investigation could only come to an end, so he immediately opened the door to see off the guests.
Is this gone? What about further investigation? Jimmy was obviously not happy with the nonsensical result, but Mike didn't bring the kids to play, so go away.
Jimmy turned around and sold a cute look: " Hey, who is your solid backing? It's me ." After that, he threw a wink.
Mike had to reply: " I will remember this ."
Jimmy's intuition is right, Mike is a capable man, and he is a strong man who can do big things. It's right to have a good relationship with him .
[Ah, I want to write more and more about the history of the relationship between Jimmy and Mike. I will find time to read it later. 】
Two people with small calculations, but they didn't know their actions at all, and Gus, who was alert, saw them , and it seemed that they could use some means.
It didn't take long for Gus to make a move: an eye-catching car drove into the backyard of the fried chicken shop like a wind, stopped for a while, then drove out carelessly, and stopped for a while at the intersection, the window of the car was full. After opening it, the driver, who was not a good thing at first sight, threw a cigarette butt, drove away quickly, and looked at the monitor again. Obviously, the guy took the tracker .
It's just " I have a problem " printed in bold and capitalized on the forehead, just say Mike, are you chasing after?
Wait, this little guy looks familiar, this is not Uncle Fried Chicken's hardcore horse boy , and the poor guy whose throat was cut by Uncle Fried Chicken in the first episode of Season 4 of "Breaking Bad" (seems to be called Victor) What?
The drama of the lawyer and the poison master is getting more and more connected...
The anxious Mike naturally hurried to keep up with the suspect vehicle, but the driving became more and more wrong along the way, and the tracking signal even stopped on the road in the wilderness.
When he saw the fuel tank cap and a mobile phone lying in the middle of the road, he naturally knew that he had been exposed .
The phone rang, and Mike didn't need to hide anymore. He answered the phone generously : "Hello? (Who are you? What do you want?)"
At this point, Gustavo and Mike can be considered head-to-head , what should we do next? Play 300 rounds first, or directly join forces with the Salamanga family?
The last thing I want to say is that the lens language of the lawyer is completely more obsessive than that of the poison master ! Has reached the realm !
Whether it is the streets of Albuquerque or the vast world of New Mexico, there is no dead angle to take screenshots, and every frame can be used as a desktop! Even if you don't watch the plot, just watching the pictures is a kind of enjoyment .
Vignette: Recruitment
Between the two climaxes of this episode, there is also an interspersed sketch, that is, the recruitment of Jimmy and Kim . Compared with Kim's normal, professional and cautious , Jimmy completely shows his no-holds-barred and pragmatic demeanor .
After the job posting was posted, the first person to apply was Francesca Letty, a fat aunt who had worked in the DMV for many years .
Wait, this chubby aunt looks familiar to you too. Isn't this the front desk aunt of Saul Goodman's private law firm ? You are very irritated in the poison master.
From now on, Francesca will be a very smooth and winking middle-aged woman . Her tone doesn't match Sol, far more than a front desk aunt. Now it seems that she can trace the history in lawyers.
Back at the recruiting site, Francesca sat upright and answered all kinds of questions smoothly; Jin was prudent and tried to understand the candidate from all levels; Jimmy, after asking what he was interested in, he shook his chair impatiently. The wait is over .
Jimmy caught the other two off guard with a question: Can you go to work today (now)?
Francesca, of course, agreed after being stunned for a while. Jin immediately persuaded her to go out and said "wait a minute". After closing the door, he asked Jimmy what the hell was going on: "... she was the first interviewer , we haven't done it yet. Check her letters of recommendation."
"Let's check now, Kim, you've been looking for a paralegal, we need help, you're always demanding perfection, perfection is the number one obstacle to finding qualified candidates ... Not only is she qualified, she has worked in the DMV, which is Hell, she's competent enough. If it doesn't work, we'll fire her, no big deal ."
From here, it also reflects the huge difference in the concepts of the two people : Jin is a serious professional, he knows what to do, understands the profession, and knows the normal procedures and practices ; while Jimmy is a wild way, he only cares about whether it is feasible or not Learn as you go, the big deal is to change to the next one.
In Jimmy's opinion, professionalism is important, but it is equally important, or even more important , to be liked. In his heart, he is not very convinced that traditional lawyers and even the legal system behave in a strict manner. Now that he has jumped out and done it himself, of course Take your own set .
Saul Goodman gets another glimpse.
Elite Club: Book Stealing
The traditional opera "The Meeting of Heroes " adapted from "Jiang Qian's plan" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a similar flavor to the contradiction and confrontation between Jimmy and Chuck in this episode, the difference is that Jiang Gan's stealing books will make everyone applaud, and Jimmy's plan All that remains is grief and anger .
Besides, in the last episode, Chuck really did deliberately let Ernesto hear the recording. He calculated that the guy had Jimmy in his heart and would definitely go to inform , and Jimmy , who was a thief, would definitely come to steal the tape. Private detectives just sit back and wait .
Everything is as Chuck expected, the pure and kind Ernesto really came to inform .
However, he was intimidated by Chuck's "promiscuous power" and did not dare to tell Jimmy directly in person. Instead, he took a compromise and told Jimmy through Jin.
But the effect is the same, especially this ignominious thing, Kim and Jimmy are actually grasshoppers on a rope .
Frightened, Kim immediately went to Jimmy to ask about the situation. At this time, Jimmy thought it was just Chuck talking nonsense, so he explained: " ...I have to do this, he, he, Kim, he broke down. , he broke down! I can't let him go crazy like that, so I told him, to make him feel better... "
Although the two brothers have fallen out, and although it is true that Jimmy did the wrong thing first, in any case, Jimmy still regards Chuck as a brother, as a brother, and risks his own ruin to tell him the truth .
But when Kim tells Jimmy about Chuck's recording, everything feels sour and all illusions are shattered .
After that, Jimmy became taciturn , just saying a few basic social events, telling Jin to take care of the customers outside first, and he also seemed weak in his words to each customer . The high spirits .
get off work. Kim came over to talk to Jimmy at length, and the core idea was that "legally speaking, one of Chuck's tapes can't do us any good."
It's true, if Chuck really wanted to get into trouble with a tape, they'd have to wait for him to do it...but to Jimmy, none of that mattered .
--How are you?
- Kim, I'm fine.
It looks like it does, Jimmy slowly rips the tape, using the method taught by Chuck in the last episode ... just rip and rip, Jimmy's hand stops, and then he rips off the whole strip, on the last straight line , leaving some irregular tooth marks.
This scene is the epitome of the whole episode : it was Chuck who taught Jimmy the right way, because Jimmy's old way was really not perfect, and Jimmy's actions proved that he really could do it well; however, destroy Jimmy and continue to "correct" "The person who went down was also Chuck, because he didn't believe Jimmy would do well at all, and he only dealt with Jimmy with the attitude and method of "doing poorly".
Before the climax came, Howard listened to Chuck's idea, parked the car all the way, and sneaked over the wall. These harmonious scenes fully demonstrated that "decent people" of the elite class like Howard are really not suitable It's too clumsy to play tricks and tricks .
On the other hand, Chuck seems to be more calm and relaxed. As far as cheating the Yin people is concerned, he and Jimmy are really brothers...
Howard came to Chuck because he wanted him to stop this "farce", spending a lot of money from the law firm, and providing a private investigator around the clock, just to guard a theft, is it necessary? What if Jimmy was really caught, why bother to spend so much money? Taking a step back, will he really come?
Chuck is confident, saying "I know what my brother is like", and he will steal tapes while it's dark .
Ha, it's really a villain's heart to treat a gentleman's belly - yes, at this moment, Chuck is the sinister and cunning villain, and Jimmy is the upright gentleman.
Because Jimmy didn't come to "snatch" at night at all, but directly came to "snatch" in the daytime , watching Jimmy come to the door confidently , but Chuck didn't dare to open the door. At that moment, he was the object of a guilty conscience. It seems to have been replaced .
Don't open the door, right? I kick myself in!
" You actually recorded my words?! You bastard! You pretended to be digging your heart out for me?! You scum! 'My mind used to be so sharp, I was sick, I didn't know what to do!' Bastard! No wonder Libe Ka left you! How could she endure you for so long?! "
Jimmy was furious, as you can imagine. From his words, we also know why Chuck is alone now , and recognize that he is such a cold-blooded and insidious hypocrite , why should he spend the rest of his life together...
At this time, Howard can only count the game. If he wants to kill Jimmy, now is the best chance, so he stopped the detective uncle who wanted to go up to help Chuck. He has to wait for Jimmy to shake all the truth and embarrassment. Only when exposed .
Jimmy, who was so angry that he had lost his mind , found the tape and yelled at Chuck: " You ruined our home for this? Are you satisfied now?! For what?! It's meaningless! "
What was Chuck's response? Speechless . Maybe he will have a trace of sadness and regret, but at this moment, he is more satisfied with the success of the plan and the exhilaration of revenge . He is rational, calm, and objective, because he no longer regards Jimmy as a brother, let alone feelings;
And with Jimmy's ingenuity, if he really thinks about it, I'm afraid he won't fall for Chuck, but the reality is that he is completely dominated by emotions, desperately rushing to shout out his heart, which just shows that he is really in his heart. I value this family relationship, because of love, I expose my own lies, and because of hatred, I break through the door to scold and criticize in person .
In the end, the "physical evidence" was destroyed, and the human evidence was there. Of course, this drama could not save Mesa Verde Bank, but Jimmy would not have good fruit to eat, and Chuck's reputation could be restored - for Chuck, This result is sufficient.
Notes
In the end, Jimmy was reduced to Saul Goodman, a litigator who likes to tell right and wrong . In addition to his nature , the main initiator was his brother Chuck, who had always wanted him to be "good" .
The two brothers have a conflict of grievances, which I have mentioned in my previous two comments, and from this episode, Chuck's mistrust and deliberate revenge from beginning to end has completely pushed Jimmy, who is still at the crossroads, to the dark side .
As far as the matter is concerned, this conflict was indeed provoked by Jimmy first, and he would take the blame for this kind of consequence - but, when faced with the collapse of his brother, he chose family affection and kindness, but Chuck took this remaining kindness. To make the next set of chip bets, to shred Jimmy's broken bottom line again and again, after this, what else is left for Jimmy?
We often say, " Don't do good for small things, and don't do evil for small things. " I am afraid that Jimmy, who has experienced this baptism, will completely abandon the so-called black and white of good and evil .
