Better Call Saul

[keepngoal]

Yeah, my understanding is that it is only illegal if none of the participants in the conversation know about it.

sans warrant.

And this is state specific.

It's been a long time since last season, can someone bring me back up to speed what Mike was doing out in the desert when someone left the note on his car saying 'Don't', please?

Trying to snipe Hector.

Not so sure it is illegal .. but I think they said it was illegal in the show... maybe for effect?

I don't think New Mexico is a two-party consent state, so it shouldn't be illegal. I think the argument that was being made was whether a judge would find it credible or reliable, given Chuck's involvement (chain of evidence/custody, etc.).

NM is only two party if via phone call.

I found that bolded part of the script manipulating what would really happen to what is for the betterment of the show.

 

[brianhos]

I got that, though it seems like a long portion of the show just to convey what he did.

That is the point, you are seeing how badass and methodical Mike is. Took me a while to figure out what he was doing. That part of this episode was by far my favorite.

I personally try not to dissect things like this because its a tv show and it really doesn't matter if it follows real life law or not.

I wasn't bothered by it ... It allowed the show to be the show.

Thanks for the clarification.

I guess I'm waiting to see what Chuck has in mind for the recording before I pass too much judgement on the script writing. I see what you're saying though...the most likely real-world scenario would be Chuck taking that recording to the judge to try and clear his and his firm's name and stick-it to slippin' Jimmy.

IMO, it will cut Jimmy out of the settlement money, and/or get him out of the company, and/or reduce his payment. And then to leave...

Why did Chuck make sure Ernesto heard the tape?

I think he's going to use it to get Jimmy disbarred which is when he comes back as Saul Goodman.

I've seen some other interesting and very plausible fan predictions on how Chuck will use the recording. Some of the most intriguing ones deal more with Kim. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I may be a little rusty on last season too, but what was on the tape after Jimmy confesses? He seemed to freak out and tell them both to stop it right away, or is that just him freaking out about the electricity?

Agree, hurting Kim with the tape hurts Jimmy more than just going at Jimmy again. Will be interesting to see what he is putting in place with setting up Ernie to tell Jimmy of the tape's existence, and how he gets Kim caught up in it.

And once Chuck has Kim in trouble, Jimmy will agree to be disbarred if Chuck lets up on Kim. He then returns as Saul. Just my guess.

If you notice, Chuck got agitated after Hamlin reached the end of the tape and didn't turn it off. At first, I figured that it was him freaking out about electricity, but coupled with the stuff that Ernesto heard, it might be something that Chuck doesn't want to get out that may put him in a bad light.

I'm betting he's not disbarred, but forced somehow to stop practicing law as Jimmy McGill. You'd have to think the judges in ABQ would recognize Jimmy even if he's calling himself Saul and know he wasn't able to practice.

No, He found the tracker, found the model number and ordered another. He then took apart the original, drained the battery and replaced it with his identical tracker. The person with the original tracker thinks the battery went dead and came to get it replacing it with a new one (why mike took the gas cap off before leaving again). Mike is now following them because they don't know he put his tracker in the place of the tracker with the drained battery.

Clear as mud?

It makes more sense now, thank you. I guess I should have probably gone back to watch it a second time. To me, I got lost at the point where he was draining the battery as you say. Wasn't sure what listening to the radio had to do with anything. Really cool stuff to watch, I suppose, if you followed it. To me it was just not very interesting and lost me a bit. Good for character development, maybe, aside from the fact that most people watching already find Mike as a very credible bad ass.

 

[BCClone]

Yeah, I think they do a good job of conveying that. Just seemed like they could have done that without showing the entirety of tearing the car apart/taking apart multiple gas caps/draining batteries etc.. Not a big complaint, but not terribly entertaining viewing (my wife fell asleep during the show, and she has been talking about it since last season ended).

That's the breaking bad style. Things were slow developing. Like we didn't need to have all the car wash talk, just the basic embezellment wouldn't have done I take it your wife doesn't use mobileCF, the delayed typing makes me fall asleep

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

I think that's what we are going to have to expect from this series. They've drawn out lots of things, and some of that might have to do with meshing up with the Breaking Bad timeline and how they envision getting there.

The director said in a season one podcast they have to draw it out because that gives them time to show details and most importantly because they know they have a specific end when they can't go past without upsetting the viewer. He said they aren't going to have BCS in the same timeframe as BB.

Everyone keeps talking about how they hope Walt or Jesse are in BCS, I'm assuming the show is going to end however Saul was introduced in BB. I don't remember how he was introduced now, but that's just my assumption.
