After
Badger is arrested in a
sting operation by the
Albuquerque Police,
Walter White and
Jesse Pinkman look into hiring a shady, flamboyant lawyer named
Saul Goodman. Saul has already offered to be Badger's legal counsel. Walt poses as Badger's uncle and goes to Saul's office. Walt offers Saul a bribe to keep Badger from confessing, but Saul refuses. Walt and Jesse resort to kidnapping Saul, threatening to kill him if he does not keep Badger from
informing on them. Initially, Saul pleads for mercy, believing they were sent by a man named "
Lalo". He blames this apparent slight towards Lalo on a man named "
Ignacio", and referring to himself as an "amigo del cartel". However, upon realizing that they are not cartel enforcers but are instead associates of Badger, Saul asks for payment so he can legally represent them and keep their talks confidential. Saul tells the duo about a man, Jimmy "In-'N-Out" Kilkelly, who makes a living being paid by other criminals to go to jail, and offers to have him stand in for Heisenberg. The DEA busts Kilkelly when Badger gives them a fake deal, but
Hank Schrader is not completely convinced. Later, Saul visits Walt at his school, telling him that he is too easy to find. Saul offers to be Walt's full-time legal counsel and adviser in covering his tracks.
Skyler White goes to work on a Saturday, and Walt notices that she is dressing up for her new job with
Ted. Seeing that Hank has holed himself in his house, Walt gives him a motivational speech, talking about how he has not had any fear in his life since he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. This helps Hank leave the house, but he still has
panic attacks. Meanwhile, Jesse sleeps with
Jane Margolis and nurses a growing connection with her, learning that she is in recovery from addiction. == Production ==
