0:36 This moment is small but super important for Lalo's characterization. It's really easy to fall for the charisma and all of the Salamanca family honor and whatnot. But despite the fact that he's a really smart guy, he doesn't immediately put together that Fred's family would show up to the proceedings on his murder trials. That's because it's one you have to infer from purely emotional connections as opposed to logical ones, which is a classic sign of a psychopath. It's awesome to see two excellent and realistic betrayals of both a sociopath (Todd Alquist) and a psychopath (Eduardo Salamanca) in the same universe.

J.M.M: Justice Matters Most or J.M.M: Just Make Money, that's the choice that shows up in this scene. If Jimmy had gone with the former he would have been left with a bit of conscience that made him James Morgan McGill. But he chose the later which made him fully ascertain the persona of Saul Goodman, as shown by the last scene of the episode. So the title fits perfectly in this great episode, absolutely brilliant. Kudos to the creators of this show.

You can see that Jimmy has not fully given in to his Saul Goodman side yet. He clearly questions the morality of what he is doing, trying to get Lalo out on bail when he knows for a fact that Lalo committed the crime; A really nice touch is at 3:20 when he asks the judge "how can you see fit to separate this beautiful family?", and it just hits him wrong and he needs to take a few seconds to catch his breath again. This show is so damn good.

When the judge sets bail at 7 million you could see that Jimmy is glad as he believes that Lalo will not be able to muster that sort of amount. His objection and subsequent talk with Lalo prove that it is all a facade. Only when Lalo says "I can do that" where Jimmy is surprised and not happy about that outcome. Jimmy is still a decent human being when it comes down to it but circumstances have made him deviate from that aspect of his ethos. Love this show.

@@Garium87 I agree feeling bad and doing what is right are two different things overall. However we must not forget that Lalo has no issues killing anybody in this case it could be jimmy or kim.

i really think the last shred of jimmy left in saul died here. I also love bob odenkirk’s acting. you know exactly how he feels with nothing said at all. And the editing choice at around 1:25 to abruptly jump cut to saul standing up, im surprised less people are talking about it. it’s a perfect editing choice as i think it helps to imply saul quickly snapping out of his humane side. going from lost in thought to in the moment. It’s as if he didn’t even realize he stood up. he’s here to do business, he’s “the guy for this”.

[@IanR1205]

It's scenes like this one that put BCS above BB and pretty much any other show on TV. Ever. Another phenomenal scene is when Lalo visits with Hector at the nursing home.

1:07 it’s an overused joke but this is probably the most defining moment where “Jimmy McGill becomes Saul Goodman.” Jimmy has accepted the fact that he’ll be helping out violent criminals. This is well beyond the comparatively harmless cons he’s pulled as Slippin’ Jimmy. He knows he’ll have blood on his hands and he’s clearly uncomfortable. My guess is that in season 6 Better Call Saul will converge with Breaking Bad’s events; we’ll be seeing another side of the happy-go-lucky Saul Goodman and see that it’s all just a mirage which he only presents to clients. In his private life he must be conflicted as hell, especially if he’s negatively influenced Kim.

[@kevinheintz4046]

pyropulse Symbolism and metaphor only work when most people understand the connections. That’s what makes a metaphor work. If it is all subjective, then nothing means anything, not even words. Because the show runners are meticulous, every detail likely is intentional, even if it doesn’t have metaphorical significance.

[@Creeporium]

@@kevinheintz4046 I disagree. Words hold connotations and denotations. These are the equivalent of interpretation and literal meaning. You cannot mix interpretation with literal meaning. The actual meaning of the word - the denotation - is objective, but the connotation is subjective. In this case, we are discussing connotations. A word can have a million connotations and they will not affect the denotation. It is important to differentiate between interpretation and facts - not just in words, but also in fiction (i.e. I refuted your example of words; the equivalent of this occurrence in fiction would be there being a red tie; the viewer would be able to identify that what is presented is an object that is known as a tie, and it holds the property of being red - these are literal facts, but the hidden meaning/symbolism could be interpreted in a plethora of manners, such as the tie meaning the importance of trends and the red symbolizing sinister intentions; do not mix interpretation with objective facts).

Man, everybody is a criminal in this series. Even the judge! Breaking the eight amendment: Excessive Bail/Fines shall not be imposed, nor shall any cruel or unusual punishment be administered. In light of the witness tampering and the lack of evidence otherwise and the fact that the prosecution admitted to knowledge of the tampering, this would have practically thrown it all out. Innocent until proven guilty. So realistically he should have either walked with reasonable bail, or bail would have been denied. The $7 Million bail is just chalked up to "TV Shenanigans".

[@idisagreewiththat]

The charge was first degree murder. Not to mention, even crediting his lie about his family and even if he wasn't suspected of being a drug lord, presumably he's a foreign national which dramatically increases his flight risk. He's extremely lucky to be granted bail at all.
