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

Answer: He took a bribe to keep quiet about the money.

Craig Kettleman was the county treasurer and fell under investigation when $1.6 million turned up missing in the treasurer's office. As Kim Wexler would later tell Jimmy, Kettleman hadn't done a good job of covering his tracks; he had even written checks out to himself.

But the brains behind the operation seemed to be his wife, Betsy, a character whom actor Bob "Jimmy McGill" Odenkirk described as being "out of her gourd". Jimmy believed that Craig was guilty, and any doubt was dismissed when Jimmy tracked down the Kettlemans to their campsite and actually saw the money following a tug-of-war with Betsy over a gym-bag. Betsy offered him $30k to pretend he hadn't seen the money; he wanted to take it as a retainer, but when they declined, he took the money anyway.

The Kettlemans later used the fact of the bribe to force Jimmy into defending them after they walked away from Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. When Jimmy realized that he couldn't get Craig off or get him a better deal than HHM, Jimmy told Betsy that she could turn him in for taking the bribe, but doing so would implicate her in the crime, and she'd end up in prison with her husband.

Answer: Electromagnetic hypersensitivity

During the "Uno" episode, we saw Jimmy arrive at Chuck's home, put his watch, phone and key fob in the mailbox and then ground himself before entering the house. It turned out that Chuck had developed this "allergy to electricity", as Jimmy called it, about eighteen months earlier.

He had to leave work and now spent his time as a recluse in his home, with Jimmy bringing him ice, food and newspapers. In the "Alpine Shepherd Boy" episode, we discover that Jimmy believed he may be responsible for Chuck's condition because Chuck got worse whenever Jimmy did something questionable.

When he promised Chuck that he was giving up his wily ways and taking on serious clients, Chuck appeared to get better.

Answer: Kim Wexler

Kim Wexler had also earned her law degree while working at Hamlin Hamlin & McGill, but unlike Jimmy, the firm had paid for her degree, and she had received it at the University of New Mexico - far more respectable than the University of American Samoa.

Although we were shown them as friends, there appeared to have been a romantic relationship between them at one point. Kim remained a staunch friend to Jimmy, even risking her own standing in the firm by questioning Howard Hamlin's treatment of him.

Answer: In the courthouse parking lot booth

Former Philadelphia police officer Mike Ehrmantraut was working as the parking lot attendant at the courthouse. Jimmy and he did not start off on the best foot; Mike was a stickler for the rules regarding the number of requisite stickers needed for validation, and Jimmy didn't want to pay for parking so he had to go back in the courthouse a few times to get more stickers.

The banter between the two of them was amusing, with Jimmy calling Mike "the employee of the month" and mocking him, "like a troll under a bridge, you must have the stickers or you won't pass".

Answer: Slippin' Jimmy

We found out in the "Uno" episode that in the old days back in Cicero, Jimmy was a two-bit criminal who made money by pulling scams, and he'd earned the nickname "Slippin' Jimmy" because he would fake falls. It was his background as Slippin' Jimmy that helped him identify the skateboarders' scam and plan the scam with them involving Mrs. Kettleman's car in the first episode.

In the "Hero" episode, we discovered that Jimmy's scams could be a bit more involved. In the episode, Jimmy McGill was wandering the streets of Cicero late one night with an acquaintance when they came across a wallet.

They soon found the owner of the wallet laying in the alley, and he appeared to be drunk. The acquaintance said that he was keeping the $1000 from the wallet, and Jimmy went for the man's watch, but when the acquaintance saw that it appeared to be a Rolex, he decided to take the watch instead and give Jimmy the cash. Jimmy insisted the watch was worth $3,000, so the man gave Jimmy an additional $580 and then ran off, thinking he got the better of the deal.

But then the victim, Marco, stood up and slapped hands with Jimmy; they were in the scam together and had more watches to use on other marks.

Answer: A billboard

Jimmy had a personal vendetta against Howard Hamlin, his brother's partner in Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. Hamlin had suggested to Chuck that Jimmy change the name of his law firm since it could be confusing to clients, so in the "Hero" episode, Jimmy apparently decided to really confuse clients by turning himself into a Hamlin clone and buying a billboard with the same logo as HHM.

After Hamlin showed Kim Wexler the billboard, she went to see Jimmy at the salon. She gave him a "cease and desist" notice. Kim asked him why he was making it personal which he denied.

She pointed out that the billboard "was a declaration of war" but Jimmy claimed that Hamlin "fired the first shot" by trying to keep Jimmy from using his own name. When a judge ruled that the billboard had to come down, Jimmy hired some college kids to film it and while they were doing so, the worker fell from the catwalk of the billboard and was hanging by his harness. Jimmy then climbed up to the billboard and rescued the worker, but the whole thing was staged.

The "worker" was actually one of his public defense clients from the "Mijo" episode.

Answer: Elder law

After the publicity stunt with the billboard, Jimmy had several crazy clients try to hire him, and when he moaned to Kim Wexler that all he had done was wills and living trusts, she recommended that he consider elder law. He found a niche there. The clients were easy to handle, the work was simple, and best of all, the clients paid him! He made a concerted effort to drum up business by advertising on Bingo cards and on Jell-O cups at a rest home, and he worked to gain the trust of his clients by wearing a similar suit to that of Ben Matlock, the senior citizen television attorney played by Andy Griffith.

Answer: Murdered two police officers

The episode "Five-O" was almost solely devoted to Mike's back story. We found out that Mike had a son, Matt (aka Matty) who, like Mike, had been a Philadelphia policeman. Matt had died in an apparent ambush, but Matt's wife was suspicious because she had heard Matt having a heated phone conversation in the wee hours one morning shortly before he died, and she believed he'd been talking to Mike. Mike initially denied it, which led to tense relations between Mike and her. Later we found out that Matt's partner had asked him to take a bribe, and Matt had planned to turn him in for being a dirty cop, but Mike had talked him out of it and told him to take the bribe; he told Matt that he did the same thing. Mike said that letting Matt know that his father was a dirty cop "broke my boy". Matt did take the bribe, but his partner and sergeant knew his heart wasn't in it, so they decided to stage the ambush so that he couldn't turn them in. Mike was devastated by Matt's death so he staged his own ambush on the cops who killed Matt.

He then left for Albuquerque to be with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Answer: Chuck McGill

When Jimmy passed his bar exam, he hoped to move up from the mail room into an attorney position, but Howard Hamlin squashed that dream. When Jimmy brought the class action lawsuit to Hamlin Hamlin & McGill, at the behest of Chuck, Jimmy expected that HHM would hire him, but once again, Howard turned him down. Jimmy was shocked, as was Kim, who tried to plead his case with Howard. Thanks to a dead cell phone, Jimmy soon realized the real reason that Howard kept dismissing him: Howard had been told to do so by Chuck.

Despite his electromagnetism issues, Chuck had snuck outside in the middle of the night to call Howard and tell him not to hire Jimmy. We had an early hint in the "RICO" episode that Chuck might have been behind Howard's initial decision not to hire Jimmy as an attorney because when Jimmy asked Chuck to help him get a position at HHM (outside of the mail room), Chuck blankly responded, "As what?" When Jimmy confronted Chuck, Chuck told him that he wasn't "a real lawyer". He didn't think that Jimmy would ever outgrow his "Slippin' Jimmy" ways.

Answer: A job with a Santa Fe law firm

After his week of running scams with his old friend Marco in Cicero ended with Marco's death, Jimmy appeared to sober up. When he received a phone call from Kim, and she asked him if he had got it out of his system, he decisively stated that he had. He had already told Marco that he needed to head back to Albuquerque because of his clients and his brother, but Marco's death appeared to be the final deciding factor. And Kim had good news for him: HHM was partnering with a Santa Fe law firm to handle the class action lawsuit, and the firm had a position for him, so he would be able to work on his case after all.

When he returned to Albuquerque, he went to the courthouse to meet with the lawyers from the firm, but something stopped him. Was it Chuck's voice in his head, telling him that he'd always be "Slippin' Jimmy"? Was it his enjoyment of running scams that he'd rekindled in Cicero? As he drove out of the parking lot, he stopped to talk to Mike about the $1.6 million they had taken from the Kettlemans and asked Mike why they didn't just split the money since no one knew they had it? Mike said he didn't because he was paid to do a job. Jimmy tells him, "I know what stopped me. And you know what? It's never stopping me again".
