"Better Call Saul": Season Two in Ten Questions Quiz

Answer: At a resort pool

Jimmy was hanging out in a "lazy river" pool, floating on a lounge chair with a cocktail and a tray of chips. When his phone rang (which was also floating in the pool in a plastic bag), he told the caller that he wasn't a lawyer anymore. "So this is what a midlife crisis looks like", Kim stated when she stopped by to find out why he hadn't accepted the job with Davis and Main. "I think my talents are better spent elsewhere", explained Jimmy, to which Kim responded, "Where? Floating in somebody else's pool?".

He told Kim that he finally decided "to be me"; then the waiter showed up and asked "Mr. Cumpson" if he wanted another drink. So Jimmy was spending his days at the resort, charging food and drinks to other guests. But after a couple days, he decided to take the job at Davis and Main. Later in the "Bali Ha'i" episode, Kim referred back to Jimmy's days floating in the pool: "You knew what you wanted, and I got in the way".

The pool scenes were filmed at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Spa and Resort in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM.

Answer: Baseball cards

In the "Switch" episode, Mike refused to get into Pryce's Hummer, and so Pryce decided he didn't need a bodyguard anymore and went alone to meet with Nacho. Nacho took advantage of the situation and took a peek at the vehicle registration, getting Pryce's address.

When Pryce discovered his house had been robbed, he called the police because he wanted his baseball card collection back. The police were skeptical of the situation because the electronics hadn't been stolen, and when Pryce was out of the room, they noticed a hiding place in the baseboard behind the couch. Pryce ran into Mike at the parking lot of the courthouse/police station as he was heading in for an interview. Mike knew the police weren't asking him there to discuss his baseball cards, and he told Pryce to leave and forget about the cards, but Pryce was adamant that he wanted the cards back. So Mike tracked down Nacho at his father's auto upholstery shop and convinced him to return the baseball cards and the money for the stolen drugs in exchange for the Hummer.

The incident was significant because it made Nacho realize that Mike was more than "the old guy" who stood around while he and Pryce conducted business, and it led to a business relationship between Nacho and Mike. Then Mike contacted Jimmy to get the police to drop the investigation of Pryce, which Jimmy colorfully did using the "Hoboken Squat Cobbler" defense.

Answer: Kill Tuco

When Pryce had shown up at their exchange without Mike in tow, Nacho had made a comment about "the old guy", but his estimation of Mike was raised after Mike tracked him down at his father's upholstery shop and let him know that he knew Nacho was working deals behind Tuco's back. So when Nacho decided he wanted Tuco gone, he asked for Mike.

In the "Gloves Off" episode, Nacho explained to Mike that Tuco was using crystal meth and it made him unstable; he was worried that Tuco might kill him due to his drug-induced paranoia like he did to one of his other workers, a guy named Dawg. Nacho showed Mike a wound on his shoulder that contained a piece of Dawg's skull. Tuco had killed him because he thought Dawg was dishonest but he was really a good worker, and Tuco liked him. Nacho was afraid that he would be next. Mike thought about doing the job, even scoped out sniper rifles, but in the end, he explained to Nacho that it just wasn't a good idea: "No amount of money makes this a good idea... for you." Mike pointed out that the cartel would be looking for who took out Tuco and it would be hard for Nacho to keep his secret. Mike convinced Nacho to make his Tuco problem go away with another solution - he staged a fight and had Tuco arrested. Since Tuco had a gun at the scene, he would be sent to prison for a decade or so.

Answer: She hadn't told him about a commercial Jimmy made.

At Davis and Main, Jimmy was in charge of acquiring clients for the lawsuit, and he mentioned the possibility of running a commercial to Clifford Main but went ahead and made it without Cliff's approval. When he showed it to Kim, he led her to believe that it had been approved.

But when she was called into a meeting with Howard and Chuck the next day, she found out that wasn't the case. Howard asked her if she knew about the commercial, and when she said yes, he asked her why she hadn't said anything about it.

She started to say "I didn't realize..." but then covered for Jimmy and said that "at the time, I didn't think it was necessary". Jimmy found out about her demotion when he went to see her that evening and her office was empty. He wanted to tell Howard that it was his fault, but Kim wanted to solve the problem herself: "If you go to Howard, you and I - we're done". "So we're not done now?" responded Jimmy. Jimmy then went to see Chuck and told him, "Don't punish Kim. If you're mad at me, take it out on me". Jimmy told Chuck that he had implied to Kim that the commercial had been approved so Chuck then knew that Kim had been covering for Jimmy in the meeting with Howard. Meanwhile, Jimmy's commercial nearly got him fired from Davis and Main, but Clifford Main decided to give him one more chance but apparently assigned fellow lawyer Erin to keep Jimmy on the straight and narrow.

Answer: Jimmy stole money from their father's store and drove him to bankruptcy.

Kim spent a lot of time going through her contact list to find a client for the firm, but Howard wasn't letting her off the hook. After finding out from Howard that the firm had received the Mesa Verde contract thanks to Kim, Chuck went into work at HHM while it was still dark outside.

He ran into Kim, who was working late and had been doing so ever since she'd been assigned to doc review. He asked her to make coffee and while they sat together drinking, she asked him if she had a future there, and he told her the story of their father who ran a corner store.

He said that their dad was a good, generous man and that while Chuck was away at college, Jimmy worked at the store. When their dad ran into money troubles, Chuck came home to get the books in order but discovered that $14k was missing. Chuck claimed that Jimmy had taken it, but their dad didn't believe it.

Their father died a few weeks after having to sell the store. Chuck then told her that he would talk to Howard on her behalf: "You're being wasted down in doc review".

In the "Inflatable" episode, we saw a flashback to those days when a young Jimmy was working at the store, and what Chuck hadn't mentioned was that part of their father's generous nature including handing out cash from the register to anyone with a sob story. He had a reputation for it, so people knew whom to go to when they needed money. Jimmy tried to tell his father that they were conning him, but he wouldn't hear it. Then we did see Jimmy take $8 from the register after one of the con artists told him that you're either a wolf or a sheep. So it appeared that there was some truth to Chuck's story but it wasn't the entire truth.

Answer: Tell the police that Tuco's gun was his

Hector Salamanca was Tuco's uncle, and he apologized to Mike on behalf of the family, telling Mike that Tuco was a "hothead" and deserved to spend time in prison, but just not as much time as he would spend for having a gun. He wanted Mike to tell the police that the gun was his; he said that since Mike was an ex-cop, the police would go easy on him. Without the gun charge, Tuco would only have to serve for a battery charge, according to Hector. For his troubles, Hector told Mike he'd give him $5k.

In the "Bali Ha'i" episode, Mike found out that Hector wasn't going to accept no for an answer. He sent two goons to Mike's house to rough him up but Mike ambushed them and sent them away with some damage to their heads. But then when Mike was at the hotel pool with Kaylee, he saw two men standing on a rooftop watching them, and one of them pointed their fingers at Kaylee like a gun and "shot" her. Mike realized he had to accept the offer and went to meet with Hector but demanded $50k to which Hector ended up agreeing. Nacho went to Mike's house to deliver the money, and Mike gave half of it to Nacho, telling him that he had made a deal to get rid of Tuco and now Tuco would soon be back.

As it ended up, Mike didn't have to tell the police that the gun was his; Jimmy went with him to the prosecutor's office and told them that the only thing Mike could say was that the gun wasn't Tuco's.

Answer: Set fire to the office building

His assistant Omar was mystified that Jimmy wanted to leave. "You worked so hard to get here and it's so much to give up". When Omar mentioned the bonus, Jimmy said that it was "a done deal. They already cut me the check. I get to keep the bonus". Omar pointed out that if Jimmy quit before he'd been there for a year, he'd need to pay the money back. Once Jimmy confirmed this in the employment contract, he told Omar that he had hadn't been serious about resigning; he claimed he was just stressed. Later when he was stopped at a traffic light, he saw an inflatable "air dancer" tube man, and it seemed to inspire him.

He started wearing flashy "Saul Goodman" suits to the office, bought a loud juicer for the breakroom and made a mess of the area and a client who walked into the room, instructed one of the cleaning staff in broken Spanish on how to vacuum the floor, and quit flushing the toilet (for environmental reasons, he claimed).

But the coup de grace was the bagpipes. When Jimmy first started at Davis and Main, he found out the Cliff would play guitar in his office to relax, so Jimmy decided to emulate the boss in a much more obnoxious way.

The fact that he couldn't play them at all didn't help. Cliff ended up calling Jimmy in his office and telling him that he had won. He figured out that Jimmy was trying to get let go so that he could keep his bonus.

Answer: Changed the address of the proposed bank branch in Chuck's files

Kim had been courted by Schweikart & Cokely, the firm that was representing Sandpiper Retirement Communities; she went to an interview with their partners and was expecting an offer from them, but in the end, she decided to go into practice with Jimmy as separate sole practitioners sharing office space and expenses. Jimmy had originally proposed that they have a joint practice, but Kim wasn't comfortable with his "colorful" way of practicing law so she preferred for them to keep their practices separate. Howard was somewhat pleasant to her when he found out that she was "hanging up her own shingle" as opposed to going to the competition; he wistfully told her that he had wanted to do the same thing when he left law school, but his father wanted another Hamlin for the law firm name.

But after he wished her well, they both focused on Mesa Verde. Kim had a meeting with the CEO and the Senior Counsel (her friend Paige) that went very well and she got their business, but when Howard told Chuck they'd lost the client, Chuck went into super lawyer mode - heading to a meeting with them without his space-blanket-lined suit.

While he initially made it sound as if they made the right decision ("she's young and exciting"), he managed to convey that the boring HHM had the experience for the bank's complicated needs, and the CEO decided to stay with HHM. However the meeting wore Chuck out, and when Jimmy arrived at his house to confront Chuck for stealing the case from Kim, he found Chuck passed out on the sofa. While Chuck was sleeping, Jimmy went through the Mesa Verde files that Chuck had at the house, pulled every document with the address of the new branch and went to an all-night printing store where he changed the address from 1261 to 1216. When Chuck and Howard went to the banking commission hearing with their clients, the discrepancy in the address was noticed and caused the branch opening to be delayed for six weeks. Chuck knew he didn't make a mistake and was rude to the clients, claiming that they were incorrect, which made the CEO claim that he "knew the address of his own... bank". Not surprisingly, the Mesa Verde CEO took his business back to Kim while Chuck embarked on his campaign to prove that Jimmy had sabotaged him.

Answer: A refrigerated truck

The opening segment to the "Fifi" episode showed a refrigerated truck stopped for inspection as it entered the US from the Mexican border. Nothing was found on the truck, and it later made its way to a garage which Mike was staking out so he knew that Hector was using the vehicle to transport money or contraband across the border. Later in the "Fifi" episode, we saw Mike working with Kaylee on a project that involved drilling holes in a garden hose.

He told Stacey that he needed it as a drip system for his plants, but we later saw him placing spikes in the hose.

He actually used it as a spike strip to blow out the tires on the ice cream truck as it was driving down a back road. After he tied up the driver, he slashed the tires, finding $250k in one of them.

He left the driver tied up, expecting that the police would find him, leading them to Hector but that didn't happen. Instead, Nacho contacted Mike for a meeting. Nacho had figured out that Mike may have been involved in the heist since if it was another dealer, the driver would have been killed.

When Mike asked him why the ambush wasn't in the newspapers, Nacho informed him that a good Samaritan had stopped to help the driver and that Hector had been contacted instead of the police. Thus Hector had the good Samaritan killed and buried in the desert so the scene had been cleaned up. Mike's perfect plan to get back at Hector had failed; he had the money but an innocent person had been killed, and in the "Klick" episode, the driver was also killed since Hector believed he was in on the heist.

Answer: A tape recorder

Chuck had correctly determined that Jimmy had gone to a 24-hour copy store to change the address on the Mesa Verde documents so he sent Ernesto to find the store and then went himself to get the proof. But Jimmy had bribed the clerk to say that he hadn't been there, and as Chuck grew more frustrated with the clerk, he also was affected by the electricity and passed out, hitting his head on the counter. Jimmy had watched it happen from across the street, and despite his initial desire for self-preservation, he ran into the store to help. Chuck refused to allow the doctors to conduct any tests in the hospital so the doctor asked Jimmy to force the tests by taking temporary guardianship over Chuck, which Jimmy did.

When Jimmy went in to Chuck's room to tell him about it, Chuck screamed for Ernesto, claiming that Jimmy had arrived too quickly at the scene so that was his proof that Jimmy was there all along.

But Ernesto covered for Jimmy, telling Chuck that he had called him earlier because he was concerned about Chuck's well-being. Ernesto later told Jimmy that he lied because Jimmy was his friend and Chuck had it in for Jimmy. Chuck went into a "self-induced" catatonic state after the CAT scan, and Jimmy stayed with him until he awoke a day later. Chuck expected Jimmy to commit him, but instead Jimmy took him home.

But Jimmy's care for his brother had no impact on Chuck's feelings toward him; Chuck immediately embarked on his plan to trap Jimmy. He found a tape recorder in his garage, sent a letter to Howard telling him that he was quitting the firm and then barricaded the inside of his house with the foil wrapping plastered around the walls. When Howard called Jimmy to ask about Chuck's resignation, Jimmy headed over to see Chuck. Chuck presented a resigned attitude; he had made a mistake and accused Jimmy of sabotage when it was really his mind going - that's why he was quitting law. Jimmy then told Chuck that he hadn't made a mistake - it had all happened exactly as Chuck had surmised. Jimmy said that proved that Chuck's brain was as sharp as ever. When Chuck asked if Jimmy was just saying it to make him feel better, Jimmy said he was, but that it was also the truth. Chuck then told Jimmy that he had "just confessed to a felony" to which Jimmy responded, "I guess, but you feel better - right?" Jimmy then added "it's your word against mine" as he walked out of the room. The last thing we saw was Chuck stopping the tape recorder.
