Better Call Saul - Mike cleans up Jimmy's apartment/gets rid of Howard's body

Better Call Saul 6x08 'Point and Shoot'
Mike' first job as Saul Goodman's cleaner. After removing any signs of illegal activity, including Howard's body, the three of them go over their story on how things will play out.
This is quite similar to how he helped Jesse Pinkman get rid of Jane's body in season 2 of Breaking Bad. He even debriefs Jimmy and Kim step by step on how to proceed, instructing them to conclude any potential explanations with "that's all I know."

I bet Howard was really nice to the parking attendant and always had all his stickers.

How stickers works ? I am from Chile and here we just use just a single ticket that you have to pay in a machine when you are getting out of the mall, with the price depending on how long you are in the mall, no need of stickers of any kind.

[@trydodis690]

@@rodrigomunoz9217I’m not sure either but if I had to guess the reason there are stickers is potentially so you could have free parking when you are required to be in court. This is why Mike always asks Jimmy to get a sticker or pay $2, it would make sense they would have stickers instead of special IDs to get them through since the parking is not open just to the lawyers and staff there but also the civilians who have to attend court. Also another is I remember that Mike is shown to only ask for stickers when he leaves the parking so it’s likely that you can only get those stickers from inside when you can prove you have reason to be there on the day.

[@nicholassmieleski9710]

@@rodrigomunoz9217if he works at a courthouse (which he does as an attorney) there’s a lot of people coming in and out of that building and parking stickers denote where you’re meant to (and allowed to) park. A police officer, an attorney, and a civilian are all going to be going in and out of different areas of a courthouse and would park separately. Not to mention major cities in America (and every major city across the world that I’ve been to) seem to intentionally try to hit you with fees. The major city I live in (Detroit, MI) usually will let you pay for regular parking, pay more for better parking, and you pay for the increment of time you’ll be parking (1 hour, 2 hour, 8 am to 6 pm.) Nowadays it’s all digital, but back then I imagine they used stickers (idk I was 8 when BCS takes place and not doing much parking.)

[@grey-spark]

Anytime i see Mike and Saul hanging out together in Breaking Bad, this scene will be at the back of my mind. When Mike threatens Saul, when he pulls Walter off of him. I'll just be thinking they went through this together. Meanwhile, Huell and Francesca will have witnessed his brother break down in court berate him for his whole existence. Turns out, these side characters know so much.

Francesca broke bad when Saul told her to mop up the pee and she told Saul to do it himself lol. At that point she became the Francesca in BB lol.

"You keep telling the lie that you've been telling." The ultimate consequence of their unhinged prank campaign. Mike is just doing the practical thing... but that's the lie that ends them as a unit. Horrific, and entirely logical.

[@ShadowNova300]

@Mikachu_03 Basically Mike has the mindset that anyone not "in the game" shouldn't have consequences as if they are/were. Howard got shot as if he was in the game which is why Mike as you said "condemns them a little" because they got an innocent guy killed. In other words, Howard wasn't in the game so mike kind of hates them for this even if he literally never met Howard.

[@jjmarr7130]

​@Mikachu_03he would've known Howard. Mike worked endlessly as the ticket guy at the court house. Howard, being a lawyer, was probably at that courthouse all the time parking.

[@benjaminhoneycutt97]

I think it's fair to assume Mike is also feeling guilt for pulling his men off of Jimmy's apartment. Kim called him out for this earlier in the episode. His judgment toward Jimmy and Kim also hints at Mike's general hypocrisy that's called out by Nacho's Dad (Manuel) in the next episode. Despite Mike's "code", people outside the game and people he cares about *always* get hurt. It's clear from his conversation with Manuel that Mike knows this, too.

[@dude123nice6]

This makes Mike a huge hypocrite. Even with the prank campaigning, he's literallly more culpable in Howard's death than they are.

[@jspres86]

You can see Mike wants to say something at the very end but holds himself back. Then he goes and opens the door and holds it there a few extra seconds so Jimmy has to watch Howard's body being stuffed into the fridge. Almost like Mike is asking them, "This still feel like fun to you?" Chilling.

[@miguelporras8366]

Well, Kim was as responsible for that as Jimmy. If not more. But Mike always likes to speak from a moral highground he never had and had this softspot for women

[@VDA19]

This is Mike's fault, though. He failed to contain Lalo and failed to protect Jimmy even though he was supposed to.

[@FayeVert]

"You keep telling the lie that you've been telling" He's really emphasizing to them that their behavior got Howard killed, and they better not do something like that again.

[@matthewriley7826]

Because Mike probably recognized Howard and knew he was another casualty in the game. He probably blames himself just as much them cuz he pulled his guys off of watching them.

[@MetalGod999]

And remember, during this scene, Mike is talking to Kim and Jimmy in the same way a father reprimands his children for being naughty. And Jimmy and Kim are guilty of being just that - children.

[@DevenPowerswafflesdot]

That look Jimmy gives at the very end when he sees Mike’s guys shoving Howard into the fridge may be the last time he feels any guilt before the series end.

[@theozlander4629]

A lot of people think that the fact Jimmy became "Saul" after Howard dying meant that he didn't really care or feel anything. I think it was more his way of DEALING with the guilt. He literally hid inside Saul, from his guilt for chuck, for Howard, for Kim. He wrapped himself tightly in the cloak of Saul Goodman and didn't come out again until his conscience finally wouldn't let him hide anymore

As much as Jimmy and Kim deserved this for trying to humiliate Howard, this is so depressing.

He knows Howard is a good man who just want to do his job and he must've been seeing him a lot when he used to work as ticket attendance on HHM. That's why Mike is so cold to Saul in BB.

It was Kim's scheme, not Jimmy's. Jimmy only went along with it because he knew that she would dump him if he didn't.

But lalo would've never showed up if not for Jimmy, so the major brunt of the guilt would go to Jimmy because he was the one who worked for the cartel in the first place. If not for him, the prank would've never gone this bad.

@@gregh5061 that's a ridiculous assertion and you know it. Had Kim not wanted to pull off what essentially amounted to the character assassination and outright reputational destruction of Howard, then he never would've been killed.

Kim herself flat-out admitted that it was all her fault as she would've broken up with Jimmy had he called off the whole thing even if it was to protect her (essentially holding him hostage) and outright refused to call it all off because (and I quote) "I was having too much FUN!".

Everything else was just what lead to Howard being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

@@gregh5061 all of which Jimmy did on Kim's behalf as part of her overall idea/plan. Jimmy didn't even want to go through with it and only did so because Kim would've dumped him, otherwise. That's not "encouragement". That's literally masterminding the entire operation and holding Jimmy hostage using his love for her as leverage against him to force his compliance. Outside of doing a bunch of stupid childish shit such as throwing bowling balls at Howard's car and having prostitutes interrupt one of Howard's business lunches that was completely harmless to Howard and was merely Jimmy acting out over Chuck's death as well as what Jimmy perceived as an insult from Howard's job offer, Jimmy wasn't responsible for anything even remotely damaging to Howard's reputation that Kim didn't make him do. This is some grade-A copium, dude. Kim knew from Mike that Lalo was still alive and should've told Jimmy. Had she done that, Jimmy would've called off the entire scheme against Howard and taken Kim to safety. Her own admitted reasons for not doing so is because she was being completely selfish and was having way too much fun with said scheme to ever call it off (even going so far as to actively abandon a very important meeting with some highly-connected legal officials just so she could ensure that her scheme wasn't called off after Jimmy had wanted to wait for another day). Even if it meant actively endangering both her own life and Jimmy's. Trying to claim that Jimmy is responsible over business dealings from a long time ago that he couldn't have possibly known would result in this particular event instead of Kim, who knew that Lalo (who Jimmy very much justifiably thought was dead) could show up at any time and very possibly kill them both only to do absolutely nothing about it out of selfishness and blatant disregard for everything and everyone but herself, is beyond imbecilic. And trying to argue that "but Mike said he would watch over them" is also irrelevant as she still should've been smart enough to take precautions and tell Jimmy. This is all very much Kim's fault. Learn to get used to it.

The plot device of Jesse quitting for gus if Walter dies holds no weight....they just filmed the entire cooking process for the Mexican cartel. Gus has 0 reason to keep Walter alive besides walt plot armor. If anything killing walt would be the smartest choice in that situation because it would force Hank to realize the truth of walt and get a lot of heat off directed to the death of heisenberg. If he was written as smart as he is supposed to be killing walt and kiidnapping Jesse to force cook for him until the cooking process is fully transferable to a new cook is the obvious choice. Also mike choosing Walter to bring out his bag instead of Jesse is another example of when the characters betray their own intelligence for the betterment of the show. Now why ON EARTH...would mike trust walt to bring him his bag of money and a gun after walt stole the methlemene, killed gus, and has been a COMPLETELY untrustworthy character and he's on the phone like "not you kid, it can't be you to bring the bag!" Like it made 0 sense. And by the way I'm learning this after going back to BB this past week there's so much walt plot armor it's hilarious you don't notice until you go back.

[@762459]

Mike's crew really got a lot more lean during Breaking Bad.

[@METALMAN4Wii]

Mike did get him a nice refrigerator.

[@NxDoyle]

When the final season started to unfold, I figured that either Kim or Howard would end up dead. When Howard went, it was surprisingly sad. He had his flaws (the cold shouldering of Kim was very harsh) but ultimately he was a good man, tormented by Jimmy and Kim.

[@Anthony9471]

Mike…the coolest character ever created PERIOD

[@fabiozanabria5614]

you can tell why mike all the respect for jimmy in breaking bad

[@mighty_osaker]

0:53 I can't believe Lalo broke his promise!

[@davidmcfarland3822]

Mike was such a good actor just like Saul was

[@okLonely]

3:57 "not a lot of people get the chance to start over"

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

Honestly Mike shares some blame for Howard's death, there was no good reason for him to dismiss the idea that Lalo would go to Jimmy's apartment considering he was a real asset to Lalo and had done his bidding before.

[@StepUpMedia039]

Mike was ashamed of himself.

[@danie7895]

4:00 Jimmy pulling a Kay Adams moment by looking at a Michael while the door closes in front of him.

[@IronEddie13]

Poor Howard

[@MDFlo]

By the water

[@edwardcatt2399]

Technically, wouldn’t an odometer indicating the exact mileage between Albuquerque to the Cali seafront be _more_ suspicious? Who’d prioritize their odometer being reset before a drugs bender + suicide mission?

[@kerodine]

It means the overall miles driven would be added to include the “drive” to Cali

[@dashman8499]

when i first saw this scene i couldnt take my eyes off Kim. shes gone.

[@Seth_rs]

Love how Kim is shocked by the results of her own actions

[@tortyreus2384]

Well, she is a woman.

[@sarenarterius6058]

Lalo killed Howard. This is a very simple thing to understand, and people want to overcomplicate in a poor attempt to seem intelligent. Was everything that went Kim and Jimmy did moral? No. But it's idiotic to say this like Kim pulled the trigger.

[@666mengel]

It is a shame actor playing Mike become so famous at the end of his acting career. I had seem him before in his younger days, but without any second thought on his acting.

[@cgh7337]

So reminiscient of Mike cleaning up Jesse's apartment after Jane's overdose.

[@LanceGraveley]

Howard is the Drew Sharp of BCS, an Innocent caught up at the wrong place and at the wrong time and whose death changes everything. Just like Drew, he just disappears. No body to bury or a grave marker to go to.

[@Lightwolf9518]

Howard being buried next to his killer, that's gotta hurt

[@dashx1103]

I'm guessing he probably didn't care ... on account of being dead and all.

[@cheeseburger3072]

Imagine if you will someone like Mike teaming up with someone like Alejandro Gillick (Socario). Damn that would be scary.

[@myers_music]

Only issue I have with this scene is that Mike could have told them Lalo was dead. Could have easily put their minds at ease given how shaken up they were. But then we wouldn’t have gotten the Lalo name drop in BB so I suppose it makes sense

[@calvin6314]

He told them Lalo was dead several times before and Lalo wasn't, so it wouldn't be believable if he said it

[@bigpete1287]

2:27 Its a good thing Jimmy responded or Mike would've slapped him.

[@darthinfimus4450]

Jimmy went through THIS, and then agreed to work with Walt??? Shoulda retired right then

[@rydermccall3590]

Jimmy acting business as usual while Kim is clearly distressed.

[@smalf00]

ever since his brother died, he's had a lot of experience living in denial

[@DeepfriedBeans4492]

Wdym? He clearly looks distressed too

[@alberto-kt6fp]

winner emmy is...

[@DJ_Thanos]

"Here's your story: 'We woke up, we found him, that's all we know.' Say it".

[@SPM1966SPM]

Mike's silhouette in this scene reminds me of Nosferatu (1922) 😆

[@JhonattanL]

Why did he change the refrigerator? // ¿Por qué cambió el refrigerador?

[@TheSonicBros1]

They snuck the body out inside of the refrigerator and then replaced the refrigerator with an identical one

[@JhonattanL]

@@TheSonicBros1 Thanks

[@moi45able]

why do they need a new refrigerator ?

[@haerfgvbag7050]

They stuff Howard in the old one I believe.

[@rafaelpozo9962]

Lalo shoot Howard, but Saul and Kim killed him

[@cgore4]

2:49 I still don't know why Mike gave them fake names. What was the purpose of that?

[@Dorsidwarf]

They arent fake names, they're famous actors. He's saying they need to act as if nothing is wrong.

[@cgore4]

@@Dorsidwarf Thanks, I meant it as a joke, but I guess a lot of people don't know those names!

[@acsone3546]

It pissed me off how Mike has to be all Cryptic and can’t just tell them he’s dead now

[@kabaczek17]

the less you know the better you sleep. in fancy words: "accomplice to a crime"

[@jaciw]

​@@kabaczek17exactly. He said enough, they knew what he meant.

[@Delta_Aves]

Even if he did, Jimmy thought he was dead before and in he walks like a ghost. So unless he sees the body, he can’t be certain.

[@sidtom2741]

Could someone explain why they got another refrigerator?

[@Mordal1222]

Because their old one had a Howard in it.

[@anthonygerace332]

The contempt that Mike has for Jimmy is so palpable in his tone of voice. In a way, Jimmy is the worst person in either one of the series.

[@landlockedcroat1554]

me last night

[@karadanianoI]

Mike forcing Kim and Jimmy to tell the story they invented about Howard to the public is like a dad forcing their kids to eat the entire cake after he caught them taking a alice of it.
