Better Call Saul 106

AMC’s Better Call Saul Episode 1.6 “Five-O” aired Monday night and it was all about Mike and his mysterious past and how it’s come back to haunt him in the present. Aside from Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), who becomes Mike’s lawyer, the rest of the cast of characters is absent. Instead, we see Mike’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter, as well as cops from the Philly Police Department, who are investigating a murder of two of their own.

The network has released the “most talked about scene” from the episode, which involves Jimmy doing his lawyer thing for Mike in a situation that once again sets us up for Saul Goodman, the persona Jimmy takes on in Breaking Bad. AMC has also released a behind-the-scenes featurette that’s a 3 1/2-minute “Inside Look” at the episode which goes into detail about Mike’s past and his situation and how the people in his life are responding to it.

Better Call Saul 106

Better Call Saul
Episode 1.6 “Five-O”
Directed by Adam Bernstein
Written by Gordon Smith
Starring Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Kerry Condon, Omid Abtahi, Barry Shabaka Henley
AMC
Air Date: Monday, March 9, 2015, 10pm

Better Call Saul Episode 1.6 “Five-O” centered solely on Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), with the show’s regular cast of characters nowhere to be found except for main man Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), who finds himself as Mike’s lawyer. After nearly four seasons on AMC’s Breaking Bad and five episodes on this first season of Saul, we finally learn about Mike’s past and what might have driven him to go from being a 30-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department to the henchman of drug kingpin Gus Fring.

“Five-O” pretty much spells it all out for us. And I don’t know about you, but the reveal is nothing I had anticipated, especially after the ending of the previous episode, “1.5 Alpine Shepherd Boy,” left us thinking that something nefarious was going on with Mike and the woman he was watching.

Better Call Saul Episode 105

SPOILERS for Better Call Saul Episode 1.5 “Alpine Shepherd Boy.”

AMC’s Better Call Saul Episode 1.5 “Alpine Shepherd Boy” aired Monday night and centered mostly on Chuck McGill (Michael McKean), Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) brother, and his illness, as well as Jimmy’s potential new clients. It also shows the kind of people who are now attracted to Jimmy as a lawyer since his billboard ad stunt.

The network has released the “most talked about scene” from the episode, which gives us more background on Chuck’s illness and his history with it, as well as how Jimmy has been handling it. AMC has also released a behind-the-scenes featurette that’s a 4-minute “Inside Look” at the episode which analyzes Jimmy’s new batch of clients.

Better Call Saul Episode 1.6 Five-O Mike

In the last episode of Better Call Saul, Episode 1.5 “Alpine Shepherd Boy,” we finally got to see Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) out from behind his parking lot clerk booth. While we saw him week after week on Breaking Bad, but we never learned very much about the henchman’s personal life except that he had been in law enforcement and that he was a devoted grandfather who just wanted to leave his little granddaughter a legacy. In his prequel series, Mike is a main character and it’s about time we learned more about what’s happened in his life and what motivates him.

Check out the preview photos and sneak peek video here below for Episode 1.6 “Five-O.”

Better Call Saul Episode 105

Better Call Saul
Episode 1.5 “Alpine Shepherd Boy”
Directed by Nicole Kassell
Written by Bradley Paul
Starring Bob Odenkirk, Michael McKean, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando, Patrick Fabian
AMC
Air Date: Monday, March 2, 2015, 10pm

While the episodes of AMC’s Better Call Saul so far showcased Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) struggles as a public defender in the Albuquerque, NM, courts before he became the big shot Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, Episode 1.5 “Alpine Shepherd Boy” dealt more with Jimmy’s brother, Chuck (Michael McKean).

In previous episode’s flashbacks, we saw that Chuck was actually a successful lawyer who was part of a huge, profitable law firm, but now he has daily struggles of his own. Instead of picking up the pieces for “Slippin’ Jimmy,” now it’s Jimmy’s turn to take care of his brother. Eighteen months prior to the events of the first episode, Chuck developed a condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity, where he can’t be around electronic devices, which have their own electromagnetic field. Because of this, he can no longer work and is a recluse trapped in his own house, with Jimmy bringing him all the essentials for survival. When exposed to electricity or even the world outside his house at this point, Chuck experiences problems like burning sensation of the skin, nausea, tinnitus, vertigo, shortness of breath, and more. In this episode, an unfortunate incident at his house lands Chuck in the hospital, where he becomes sicker than ever. It’s up to Jimmy to make a choice about his brother’s future.
