From Season 3, Episode 10: "Lantern"
He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

“I would never endanger the firm”
A man of integrity right here.
Refreshing to hear it from someone who actually means it, unlike Chuck.
Howard is a passive, timid guy who eventually learnt to have the balls to stand up to someone like Chuck.
Chuck thought he had all the cards until Howard revealed his. He won his lawsuit but morally lost thanks to his arrogance. The winner takes it all.
Jimmy takes his brothers revenge
Imagine being so loathed at work that your partner is willing to pay you $8 million to kick rocks
Chuck's fakes smiles and facials expressions while descending the stairs are priceless, love it
Reminds me of the faces he made when he read the letter about Jimmy passing the bar exam.
@@DaScorpionSting Excellent acting you ask me
He looks like he's suffering from heartburn!
It’s hard to watch this knowing what happens to Howard. He was putting up with so much BS at this point that it really made me wish that he had a better ending on the show.
He got cursed by the McGill brothers
Howard was a good man.
@@stephencaramenico8698he was a coward to become the bad guy against jimmy. He’s not evil but he’s not the saint a lot of viewers give him credit for.
@@stephencaramenico8698 Howard put Kim on doc-review duty out of sheer spite. He's not a "good" man. He just looks good compared to the show's toxic characters (like Jimmy and Chuck).
@@ganymedehedgehog371 he is a saint, compared to who he is sharing an unholy grave with
Howard is the only primary cast member on this show who was unequivocally a good person. Didn't hold a grudge, looked out for his employees to the extent he went into his own pocket to protect the firm. Actively tried to be a better husband. Took therapy. Didn't even retaliate after Jimmy f*cked with him so many times.
Howard is the GOAT, the man. It takes a real man to get stomped on, humiliated and destroyed but still got up and prove to them that he's the bigger person.
@@erueru6101 Brings new meaning to the Namaste plates.
He’s really good, but for my money the best person in the show is Lyle
@@Blibetyblabla Lots of non-primary cast members are good. Was thinking only of primary ones.
@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Fair enough, I cant wait for the Lyle spin off
Howard was right Chuck’s own personal vendetta against Jimmy had gone way too far.
Howard valued his friendship with Chuck way more than Chuck ever did.
You can see it on Howard’s face how much Chuck really hurt him like that.
Howard shouldn't have never gotten involved with chucks childish game's to begin with. Chuck and Jimmy are are the same.
Not only that, but Howard also had immense respect for Chuck as a law partner and his mentor, unfortunately it was one sided. Chuck doesn’t respect Howard as an equal partner and probably never has, another reason he’s so upset.
@@GREENCUBE8802 sides of the same coin
This is not true friendship when Chuck pride is above firm.
The only ego that surpasses Chuck's is Walt's
" Do you have anything to say ?"
"...before your sentence is carried out?"
Howard doesn't say it out loud, but it's there.
I am sorry to women
@@lifedeather dont be.
Chuck was already gutted by learning that Howard’s paying out of his own pocket, since Chuck would never do such a thing. Then instantly facing the public ? Unreal pain.
The winner takes it all
Also, Charles is combative. He was ready for a long (legal) fight. By simply capitulating, Howard takes the wind out of his sails.
“Howard I can make the argument that you were the one who betrayed me.”
The absolute audacity of that line.
Love how Howard just cut it out right there with the "Bullshit".
You think this is something - this ? This chicanery - he’s done worse ! You think a man just happens to retire like that?!
😂😂😂😂
I often think of this scene, i imagine how many years howard worked with chuck and how many things the both of them built together. Then having to cut ties with someone you still consider a dear friend because they mean to threaten everything you both worked for. Many people feel for Howard later but this is the moment i truly wish i would never have to make
Why didn't Chuck say something like: 'Howard, I'm sorry, keep your money. I'dont want to sue the firm. I'll just continue to work reasonably, and at a slower pace.'
He was too proud to work at a slower pace. He was all in, and didn't give a shit what it took to keep his place. Howard had to go nuclear before Chuck ruined the whole firm for good, all the good that did him.
pride
You should have ended that quote “you and the Firm never mattered that much”
Chuck continuing to work would make the insurance rates skyrocket
For one, Chuck is far too prideful of a creature to ever say something like that.
For two, there is no way Howard would accept that at this point even if Chuck _did_ say that. As he put it, Chuck's decision making was unpredictable and selfish, and was no longer trustworthy.
As much as it was going to ruin Howard in the short term, it was the right call in the long term for him to buy out Chuck.
I sure hope nothing bad happens to Howard. He seems like a stand up dude.
Chuck was so sure that he had Howard backed up into a corner here that he was genuinely shocked when Howard actually paid him out of pocket. Howard was heartbroken that this had to be done, but he knew that Chuck was a liability and that he had to go in order for the firm to survive. More proof that Howard was the best man of the entire main cast.
Think how different all of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul would have gone if Jimmy never defecated in that sunroof.
Thats bullshit
Truth
Chuck was shocked and surprised by that. This wasn't an argument. This was personal for Howard
The way Howard's smile fades at the end reminds me of Gus.
Howard deserved better
Superb writing, acting, directing, editing....
I wonder how much was Chuck's severance package here. $3 million of only the first payment out of 3? And all of it from Howard's personal fund? Dang.
It was 8 million, if I recall
"I'm sorry to say, but our fearless leader Charles McGill will be leaving HHM, *effective immediately.*" Howard was all but saying Chuck's dismissal was because he was fired.
that truly is the nicest way to fire a tenured employee
“and praises him a lot.” Very well said, description.
The audacity of this man to say “I would argue that you’re the one who betrayed me” is unbelievable!
Giving 3 million from your own damn pocket to let chuck realize how disgusting he is, having everyone clapped his only “legacy” as sending him with pride that “once” he was. Howard just turn the retirement into ultimate “fuck off” to Chuck’s face.
Under what "amicable" circumstances would a partner ever leave a firm like this? Abrupt leave, no proper goodbye etc. I think everyone would get the message.
The McGills sure did a number on Howard.
This would've been the final episode of the show if I was in Chuck's shoes. I would've immediately taken Howard's check to the bank, deposited it, bought a nice house on a beach somewhere, and enjoyed the rest of my life without a care in the world. The fact that Chuck was so prideful and resentful that he couldnt even consider that says a lot.
People watch the entire series and see Howard's story and still root Jimmy on lol
Initially you may have assumed Howard was a spoiled brat who inherited a cushy position at HHM. But the fact he was willing to leverage himself so much in order to protect the firm showed remarkable leadership and sacrifice.
0:36 "And the moment that I mildly suggest with empathy and concern that maybe it's time for you to consider retirement, the first instinct you have is to sue me? To sue the firm?"
I mean, they are lawyers doing what lawyers do best.
Chuck didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to get paid off by Howard. Seeing that Howard would go all the way to buy him out, made him release that it was really over
What's ironic is that the slick, rich lawyer in the pinstriped suits was the most decent person in the show (other than Nacho's Dad, of course).
Why I don't remember seeing this?
What? This was a major plot point leading to Chuck's death
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 I think I was watching at work from my phone.
Howard didn't have to embarrass him like that
He didn't want there to be any questions as to the new status quo and Chuck's position.
This way establishes that Chuck has left, and they are still open for business, right off the bat. Business can continue as usual.
It's what's best for the firm. I wish you'd see that.
Howard might come off as patronizing, but he's one of the few characters that genuinely cared about everyone and everything they said they do, and only because vindictive after Saul and Kim ruined his entire life.
Kinda a parallel to what happened to Walt with his first company. Maybe that's why Jimmy wanted to help him as a way of helping his brother.
That's incorrect. 1) I don't know Jimmy knew about Walt's past. Jimmy said it Himself that he helped Walt because he saw an opportunity to make lot's of money with those 2 amateur criminals 2) We don't know how much Walt involved in building his old company but it very likely was a new company since he was initially satisfied to sell his share at the price that he regretted later. 3)Walt chose to leave while Chuck was kinda forced to (Though he brought it to himself by sueing his partner and firm, hence "he won" because he got the money he was asked for)
@@sunhokkwek481he literally told saul about his past at the end of the show wdym.
0:45
To bad he has killed cold blooded, imagine after better call Saul thry would make a Howard's tv series
Eye for an eye: You sue me for pride, no matter what it takes, and I pay your exit of your firm so easily that all your effort of building HHM seems so insignificant.
Howard: "The moment I mildly suggest with empathy and concern that _maybe_ it's time for you to consider retirement... ... (etc)" Chuck: "Howard, I could argue that you're the one who betrayed me-" Howard: "That's bullshit, and you know it"
Okay, but Howard's literal words were "What if it's not a suggestion?" He was not suggesting. I agree Chuck shouldn't have gone straight to litigation, but Howard did betray Chuck as well, with those words.
Why does Chuck think Howard betrayed him?
Because Howard "suggested" to Chuck earlier that he should retire, as in Howard's own words Chuck's judgement had become unpredictable and erratic, and thus untrustworthy. Howard calls it BS because Chuck put himself in that position by threatening litigation on the insurance provider for increasing their premiums (due to Chuck's condition, no less), without even letting Howard know of this nor any consideration of how it might impact the firm (it would've gone bad for them).
Howard playing that money money!!!! woot woot!!!!!! Chuck shouldve taken his millions, start ah business in Trinidad and Tobago and retire in the countryside of Toco
I'm just watching this amazing movie and it's really good
*series
I'm just reading this botted comment and it's really bad
*trilogy
Chuck, Howard, and Kim we're so much better than Jimmy!!
