Lawyer Jimmy McGill is having a hard time making a go of his law practice. He works mostly as a public defender, out of a nail salon's backroom and meets clients in coffee shops. He's nowhere near as successful as his brother Chuck, a name partner in a major law firm who currently lives at home dealing with personal issues. After two young skateboarders try to scam Jimmy in a set-up accident, he thinks he's found the perfect way to sign on to defend a possibly-rich prospective client, but nothing quite goes as planned.

Jimmy McGill locates the skateboarders, but in the hands of the crazed Tuco Salamanca he may not have long to live. Tuco is hellbent on killing the skateboarders, who not only tried to scam, but also insulted, his much-loved grandmother. Soon they are all in the desert where Tuco plans to dispose of all three of them; now Jimmy has his biggest chance to plead for somebody's life. Tuco is no reasonable man, but one member of his crew, Nacho Varga, sees the value of Jimmy's argument. They compromise--although the skateboarders aren't keen on the solution--and Jimmy is set free. The situation doesn't help Jimmy's business, but Nacho has a suggestion for him.

Nacho swears he's innocent--he was sitting in a van casing out their house--and expects Jimmy to get him off. In looking at the evidence, things don't sit right with Jimmy and he concludes the Kettlemans might have staged the whole thing.

Mon, Mar 2, 201545 mins
Jimmy's publicity stunt has served its intended purpose and he soon has a list of prospective clients. The first of these, a somewhat eccentric man by the name of Big Ricky Sipes seems just too good to be true - which is exactly the case. Another is seeking to get a patent on his new invention - which looks very much like a flush toilet. A third wants a will drawn up - perhaps the most complicated ever. Jimmy decides to focus on the elderly and soon finds himself trolling for clients in retirement homes. Meanwhile, Jimmy's brother Chuck has a confrontation with the police after a neighbor complains that he stole their newspaper. He has a mental breakdown and is hospitalized with the doctor recommending he be sent for a 30-day psych evaluation. Mike Ehrmantraut's past seems to have caught up to him and he is taken in by the police.
