239. Oh, no, no.

240. Damn.

241. Just took the money and left?

242. Yeah.

243. Well, not right away.

244. He made a couple calls on the pay phone,

245. picked up his money, then left.

246. And, what, just wandered off on foot?

247. He got in a car.

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

249. You see what company?

250. Was it a regular taxi, car service? I didn't.

258. Then...

259. Could you tell me where the nearest hospital is?

260. He was here a good half-hour or so

261. before his money order came through.

262. He asked if his money came, but not yet.

263. You mind? Oh.

264. Well, that's bad luck.

266. Thanks for your help.

271. He's not going to any cops.

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

273. She's on a Lufthansa flight.

274. Landing in Denver nine hours from now.

275. (SIGHS) Yeah.

276. And your men will be there.

277. And they'll follow her from the airport

278. to wherever he's holed up.

279. And then?

280. There's another way to play this.

281. If I can find him before the wife gets here,

282. let me bring him in and finish what he started.

283. His crew can't do it without him.

284. If Ziegler disappears,

285. you are left with the most expensive hole in the ground

286. this side of the Mississippi.

287. You can find him?

288. This is on me. I'll fix it.

289. Yeah.

290. You get everybody back in.

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

292. You make up a story.

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

294. And start calling hotels. Here, Colorado, Arizona.

295. He had to register under his own name,

296. or his wife's.

297. Pull the transcript on the last call to his wife.

298. Read it to me.

299. What'd they talk about?

300. No. After that.

301. After the dog.

302. They were gonna go on vacation.

310. Right.

312. You're sure? And there's no reservation under that name?

313. I won't lie. It's been a tough year.

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

315. It's his lasting legacy,

316. which is why this couldn't be more appropriate.

317. I know this would have meant the world to him,

318. a good and proper memorial

319. for a man who was many things,

320. but always a lawyer first.

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

322. Me?

323. No, I didn't donate any of this.

324. I'm just a guest.

325. Really? Dude, I'm pretty sure I heard someone say

326. you paid for all of it. Yeah.

327. Well, I didn't.

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

329. The invitation says "anonymous donor."

330. I assumed that meant HHM. Huh.

331. Baked brie? Don't mind if I do.

332. (WHISPERING) Actually, I happen to know

333. Mr. James McGill paid for the reading room himself.

334. Really?

335. The brother did this?

336. I saw him write the check.

337. How much do you think this cost?

338. Hi, Rich. (CHUCKLING) Hey.

339. This is quite an event.

340. Looks like half the attorneys in the southwest are here.

341. (CHUCKLING) Yeah.

342. They all came for Chuck. Mmm.

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

344. He'd... prefer to remain anonymous.

345. Oh. Mmm. Mmm. Well, where is he? I was hoping to say hello.

346. Uh, he's around here somewhere.

347. Oh. Isn't that him out there?

348. Hmm. I guess even a year out,

349. an event like this can be tough.

350. I better go check on him.

351. Thanks for coming, Rich. Yeah.

352. It's almost time to go back in.

353. $23,000.

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

355. You know?

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

357. We still have almost a week.

358. Someone on the board will hear about this,

359. and they'll believe it because...

360. they heard it from a colleague.

361. Yeah, I know. Word gets around, but...

362. Try this on for size.

363. Judge Papadoumian is in her chambers.

364. She's working late.

365. Everyone else has gone home.

366. Suddenly, she smells something,

367. something burning.

368. She crosses to her door.

369. It's warm to the touch.

370. She opens it.

371. Whoosh! Wall of flames.

372. Her clerk's chamber's on fire.

373. And she's trapped.

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

375. It's Jimmy McGill.

376. See, I rescue a judge.

377. Now, that, people are gonna talk about.

378. And it's... It's too big, and probably...

379. It's not how I come back from "insincere."

380. Right.

381. Okay.

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

383. Yeah. I'm starving.

384. Those little hamburgers are looking good.

385. I'm allowed to pay for the food,

386. but I'm too sad to eat.

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

388. He is?

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

390. No.

392. No. No message.

393. No. Thank you. You have a nice day.

394. Get out of the way! Go!

395. Sorry. It's just not working.

396. Excuse me. Hello?

398. And the machine is stuck.

399. At which gate? The north gate.

400. All right, if everyone's ready.

401. Folks, this is Duncan Springer.

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

403. Duncan, have a seat.

404. Duncan's editor of the school newspaper,

405. and his Model UN delegation represents Kazakhstan.

406. In fact, Duncan's delegation was selected

407. to visit the real UN in New York City.

408. Duncan, what can you tell us about that?

409. Oh, it was...

410. This is Marcie Ramirez.

411. She's from Moriarty High.

412. Please.

423. Kristy, what's it like working with elders? It was...

424. Raymond, how'd you manage that? I've...

425. All right.

426. Things are becoming much clearer now.

427. Can I let them go?

428. Uh, have they had lunch? Yes.

429. Unless there's any additional questions?

430. Oh, uh, did they all get the...

431. Yes, they did. Great.

432. Thank them again before leaving. Of course.

433. Here's where we are...

434. Raymond Chin six votes,

435. Duncan Springer six votes,

436. Marcie Ramirez five votes,

437. Franklyn Pickett, Teodora Moon, and Tristram Bolger

438. three votes each,

439. and Kristy Esposito one vote.

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

441. So, unless there's any disagreement,

442. I think we can... (CLEARS THROAT)

443. Uh, Jimmy?

444. Uh, yeah.

445. Uh, the one vote for Kristy Esposito?

446. That was me.

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

448. Esposito?

449. That's the shoplifter?

450. The shoplifter.

451. Ya... That's right.

452. I mean, her grades are good.

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

454. And her recommendations are solid.

455. And, yeah, she's had some trouble,

456. but, um, she was new in town,

457. and she made some bad choices.

458. And that was sophomore year.

459. She's had two really strong years since then.

460. And have you all read this?

461. Her essay is...

462. Well, that experience is what got her interested in the law.

463. And it's really good.

464. It's really good.

465. And my point is that maybe someone who's been in trouble,

466. someone who doesn't have a perfect record,

467. you know, who's made mistakes and faced the consequences,

468. maybe she brings something that the others don't.

469. I think that deserves real consideration.

470. Jimmy, you make a hell of an argument.

471. How about we take another vote?

472. Kristy! Ms. Esposito, hold up!

473. Hey. Jimmy McGill. Hi. We met inside.

474. Oh. Hi. (CHUCKLES)

475. Hi.

476. You didn't get it.

477. You were never gonna get it.

478. They...

479. They dangle these things in front of you.

480. They tell you you got a chance,

481. but I'm sorry, it's a lie

482. because they had already made up their mind

483. and they knew what they were gonna do

484. before you walked in the door.

485. You made a mistake,

486. and they are never forgetting it.

487. As far as they're concerned, your mistake is just...

488. It's who you are, and it's all you are.

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

490. I'm talking about everything.

491. I mean, they'll smile at you,

492. they'll pat you on the head,

493. but they are never, ever letting you in.

494. But listen.

495. Listen.

496. It doesn't matter.

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

498. They're not gonna give it to you?

499. So what?

500. You're gonna take it.

501. You're gonna do whatever it takes.

502. Do you hear me?

503. You are not gonna play by the rules.

504. You're gonna go your own way.

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

506. You're gonna be smart.

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

508. They're on the 35th floor?

509. You're gonna be on the 50th floor.

510. You're gonna be looking down on them.

511. And the higher you rise,

512. the more they're gonna hate you.

513. Good. Good. You rub their noses in it.

514. You make them suffer.

515. You don't matter all that much to them.

516. So what?

517. So what?

518. Screw them.

519. Remember, the winner takes it all.

520. I've gotta go get my bus.

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

522. Yes.

530. (FIST BANGS) No. No.

531. Can I help you? Hey.

532. Uh, my friend was here earlier,

533. um, bald fellow, about so tall.

534. Yeah. Did, uh, they find his brother-in-law? Is he okay?

535. No, no.

536. No, we haven't found him yet.

537. We're really worried.

538. I'm sorry to hear about that. Yeah.

539. So, I was wondering if there's maybe something

540. that, you know, my friend missed.

541. I showed him everything I've got.

542. Show me what you showed him.

543. Maybe you should just call your friend.

544. I did, and, you know,

545. he told me to come back and take another look.

546. I... (SIGHS) I'd really appreciate it.

547. I can't. I'm sorry.

548. You better just call the police.

549. Sure, sure.

550. Travel Wire. This is Fred.

551. Fourth street.

552. Nearest cross street is Lomas.

553. 10:00 p.m. Yeah.

554. Okay. Have a great day.

555. Thank you.

556. (GULPS) Ahh.

557. Is there a Mr. Ziegler here?

558. Mr. Werner Ziegler?

559. Oh, uh, yes.

560. I am Ziegler.

561. There's a call for you.

562. Oh. Ja.

563. Uh, uh... (CHUCKLES) I will be right there. Thank you.

564. This is Werner?

565. Yes.

566. Who is this?

567. I'm calling on behalf of Gustavo Fring.

568. (SIGHING) Ah, yes.

569. I see.

570. Is Mr. Fring very upset?

571. What do you think?

572. Please let him know the work will continue.

573. Did Michael show him my letter?

574. I explained everything.

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

576. The letter has specific instructions.

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

578. The work will go on.

579. Ask Michael.

580. Michael.

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

582. Do you remember what your instructions were?

583. Certainly.

584. They are to finish clearing the debris,

585. then begin the south wall.

586. That's the south wall?

587. The south wall, yes.

588. The concrete is standing by.

589. They can start pouring.

590. It's very straightforward,

591. so Kai will kno...

592. The "concrete form"?

593. Sorry. I didn't get that last part. Could you repeat that?

594. Werner?

595. Werner?

596. Mr. Ziegler?

597. Michael.

598. Is that you?

599. I'm so sorry if I...

600. Get dressed.

601. Michael...

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

603. Go.

604. Hey.

605. Hey.

606. I think I got something here.

607. Take a look.

608. The problem might have been starting with "Remorse,"

609. so I'm trying to work into it more gradually.

610. Uh, "The Law,"Plans," then "Remorse,"

611. then "Brother," then "Legacy." What do you think?

612. Everything okay? Yeah.

613. How'd it go?

614. We gave three very bright young people scholarships.

615. Good.

616. All right, we can work on this.

617. I know it's a lot,

618. but this is one time you do not want to wing it.

619. Yeah.

620. Jimmy, the hard part's done.

621. Reading room, scholarship, cemetery.

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

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

624. I can say whatever I want.

625. To the board, I'm still that guy.

626. Well, you got to say something.

627. What if, uh...

628. What if, um...

629. What if Chuck does the talking for me?

630. Wait here.

631. Yes? I got him.

632. Where are you now?

633. Out by an old raceway off 55,

634. about eight miles north of San Ysidro.

635. Where was he?

636. A place called Dulce Vega Hot Springs up in Jemez.

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

638. Something else.

639. Yes?

640. When I found him, he was on the phone with an interested party

641. pretending to be one of your guys.

642. What did he tell them?

643. Nothing useful.

644. You're certain? Yes.

645. You have any idea who it was?

646. I do.

647. All right, I'll bring him in now.

648. No.

649. Keep him there.

650. Wait.

651. I'd go another way.

652. That I know.

653. That'd be a mistake.

654. This discussion serves no purpose.

655. Wait where you are.

656. I'll take care of it.

657. Are you sure?

658. Yes.

659. God damn it.

660. Get out.

661. I want to know what your end game was.

662. What did you think was gonna happen?

663. I thought I would come back

664. and my friend Michael would be very, very angry,

665. but in time,

666. he would understand and forgive.

667. It was never up to me.

668. Oh, Michael, look.

669. I know I've made trouble for you,

670. and I'm very sorry for the damage I caused.

671. I will repair what I broke with my own hands,

672. but, please, Margarethe will land any minute.

673. Soon, she will be at the motel.

674. Please take me back there.

675. Let us be together for a little, huh?

676. Let her see me and know everything is okay.

677. Ah, please, Michael.

678. I go back now, I go back in the morning,

679. what difference can it make?

680. It's not gonna happen.

681. Let me speak to Mr. Fring. I will explain everything.

682. I will make him understand.

683. You're not gonna talk to Fring.

684. Oh, please. I know if I...

685. Werner, nothing you can say or do

686. will make anyone trust you again.

687. I will go home.

688. I will never breathe a word of this ever.

689. The money... I give all of it back.

690. I will tell no one.

691. I s-swear.

692. It will be as if none of this ever happened.

693. Please, Michael.

694. You know I will keep silent.

695. You know it. Please.

696. Does your wife have a cell phone with her?

697. Yes.

698. I need you to call her now.

699. She landed an hour ago.

700. But she knows nothing.

701. And you need to keep it that way.

702. She's being followed.

703. She's followed?

704. She goes back to the airport,

705. nothing will happen to her.

706. Surely they could not, they would not...

707. Hey, pull yourself together.

708. Give me the phone. I call her now.

709. Calm... Calm dow... Give it to me.

710. Calm down!

711. She can't suspect.

712. It doesn't matter what you tell her,

713. as long as she goes back where she belongs.

714. Hello. Ja.

715. Will she do it?

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

717. Michael,

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

719. She will go to the police.

720. There will be a story, an accident.

721. Lawyers will visit, German lawyers.

722. Her questions will be answered.

723. This you swear?

724. This I swear.

725. And my men?

726. They're going home.

727. They'll be okay. They're trusted.

728. Is there no other way, truly?

729. There are so many stars visible in New Mexico.

730. I will walk out there...

731. To get a better look.

732. Wow.

733. I mean...

734. It's incredible.

735. I feel like we've been talking about this forever, and now...

736. Here it is.

737. An architectural feat.

738. Truly.

739. Herculean.

740. This is...

741. This is...

742. Yeah!

743. I can work with this.

744. I mean, it's not exactly what we talked about,

745. but it has possibilities, even unfinished.

746. Uh, ventilation at this point is the main hurdle,

747. but with a series of fans and the right equipment,

748. I am certain that I could do a rudimentary cook

749. at the very least.

750. Not until it is ready.

751. Oh.

752. Um, of course.

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

754. I was just... Exploring possibilities.

755. I am gonna go up and check the...

756. Okay.

757. Oh. Hello.

758. Of course.

759. That won't be a problem.

760. Where do you have it?

761. Okay.

762. This should do it.

763. Chuck wrote a good letter, huh?

764. Chuck wrote a great letter.

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

766. It's how you read them.

767. Jimmy, whatever happens in there...

768. I'm with you.

769. Mr. McGill, we've reviewed all the facts,

770. the same facts as the hearing committee.

771. We've evaluated their findings.

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

773. So, whenever you're ready.

774. Thank you, Your Honor.

775. I... I don't have a prepared statement.

776. But I do have this.

777. Um, it's a letter

778. from my brother, Charles McGill.

779. He left it to me in his will,

780. and I received it last year after he passed.

781. "Dear Jimmy,

782. "I have left many things unsaid

783. "in our relationship through the years.

784. "Rather than allow these unspoken thoughts to die with me,

785. "I've chosen to record them here for you.

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

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

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

789. "I can honestly say I never saw her happier."

790. I'm sorry. I can't do this.

791. I was...

792. I was just gonna try to...

793. I was gonna try to move you all

794. with my brother's eloquent words,

795. you know, pull on your heartstrings,

796. but it's not right.

797. This letter's between me and him,

798. and it should stay that way.

799. Listen, my brother, Chuck...

800. You... You knew him.

801. He loved me in his own way.

802. He loved me as a brother.

803. He did not love me as a lawyer.

804. Big reason I became a lawyer was Chuck.

805. He was the most brilliant man I ever knew.

806. And an incredible lawyer.

807. Ya know?

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

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

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

811. Like climbing Everest without supplies.

812. If you were one of the lucky few who reached that peak,

813. even for a moment, if you made him proud,

814. wow, what a feeling. Whew.

815. And he let you know it, too.

816. But if you weren't one of those people...

817. He was polite enough,

818. but he did not suffer fools, you know?

819. And he could be judgmental and difficult.

820. And he knew how to get under your skin.

821. And... could be a real son of a bitch.

822. Chuck was the one who was always right...

823. Always.

824. And usually he was.

825. You know?

826. So, for a guy like me...

827. I did lousy in school.

828. I lacked ambition.

829. I always cut corners.

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

831. I mean, look at me.

832. I'll never be as moral as him.

833. I'll never be as smart.

834. I'll never be as respected.

835. I'll never be as good as Chuck.

836. But I can try.

837. I can try.

838. If you decide, and I get to be a lawyer...

839. I'll do everything in my power

840. to be worthy of the name McGill.

841. And if you decide I'm not a lawyer...

842. doesn't matter.

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

844. I'm lucky.

845. I got this letter.

846. I never had a chance to write him a letter

847. and to tell him all the things that I should have.

848. And I got to believe that somehow...

849. somehow he knows.

850. Oh, that's...

851. That'll have to do it for me.

852. Sorry.

853. Thank you.

854. I knew you could do it! I knew you had it in you.

855. That was so great. I mean, yes.

856. They... They have to reinstate you, right? Uh, yeah.

857. They just have to. Did you see those suckers?

858. That one asshole was crying.

859. He had actual tears!

860. Jesus, Kim!

861. Listen, I started reading the letter,

862. and I just knew it wasn't...

863. I could tell by their faces

864. it wasn't gonna be enough, right?

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

866. I had this energy going through me.

867. It was like improv or jazz, and then...

868. Boom! I sunk the hook in!

869. I am so lucky I have this letter.

870. God, I could see the Matrix, you know?

871. I was invincible.

872. I could dodge bullets, baby.

873. And you were right. You were right.

874. It was all about Chuck the whole time.

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

876. There's some good news.

877. Believe me, I already know. Oh, good.

878. Then if you want to come with me to the office,

879. there's some paperwork for you to sign.

880. Absolutely.

881. Let's do this thing.

882. Oh, and, sweetheart,

883. I'm gonna need one more form, a DBA,

884. because I'm not gonna be practicing

885. under the name McGill, so...

886. Shouldn't be a problem.

887. Just down the hall, we have all the forms.

888. Great. Great. Wait. Wh... Wait.

889. Jimmy, Jimmy, what?

890. S'all good, man.
