Read More - 'Better Call Saul' Series Premiere Review 'Hey, I just talked you down from the death sentence to six months probation,' Jimmy replies. As the hapless attorney wheels the idiot brothers into urgent care one of them shrieks, 'You.you are the worst lawyer ever!' After much deliberation, Jimmy convinces Tuco to break their legs-but just one each. 'You want me to blind them?' Tuco asks excitedly. 'Make the punishment fit the crime,' he argues, before slipping up with 'An eye for an eye.' He spends the next few minutes arguing with Tuco about justice. Saul very nearly walks away, but turns out to be braver than I'd given him credit for. Once Nacho (Michael Mando) convinces him that killing a lawyer is a bad idea, Tuco insists on killing the skaters for disrespecting his grandma. His scene here is dark comedy at its best. Tuco, played by Raymond Cruz, is every bit as loose cannon and crazy as we remember. What ensues is one of the best ten minutes of television I've seen since Breaking Bad, as Jimmy attempts to talk himself out of certain death only to be rescued by the intervention of a much calmer, much less insane gangster named Nacho. Unfortunately, this time Tuco and his minions take the three of them out into the desert, where we're privy once again to the beautiful blue, cloud-swept skies of New Mexico-a hallmark of Breaking Bad. Which made me want to hit them again with a quad-based walking cane.

One thing leads to another, and just as he's about to extract the two skaters from Tuco's clutches, one of them starts blabbing about how it's all Jimmy's fault. (He's calmest and kindest around his family, you may recall.)Īs Tuco cleans up the mess, Jimmy shows up. Which, as it happens, is precisely what Tuco does as soon as his abuela is out of sight.
