To the board, I'm still that guy.

Well, you got to say something.

[SIGHS]

What if, uh...

What if, um...

[BOOK THUDS]

What if Chuck does the talking for me?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

Wait here.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

[LINE RINGING]

- GUS: Yes? - I got him.

Where are you now?

Out by an old raceway off 55,

about 8 miles north of San Ysidro.

Where was he?

A place called Dulce Vega Hot Springs

up in Jemez.

It's got to be where his wife is headed.

Something else.

Yes?

When I found him, he was on the phone

with an interested party

pretending to be one of your guys.

What did he tell them?

Nothing useful.

- You're certain? - Yes.

You have any idea who it was?

[SIGHS]

I do.

All right, I'll bring him in now.

No.

Keep him there.

GUS: Wait.

I'd go another way.

That I know.

That'd be a mistake.

This discussion serves no purpose.

Wait where you are.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

I'll take care of it.

Are you sure?

Yes.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[CELLPHONE CLOSES]

God damn it.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[POUNDS ON HOOD]

Get out.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

I want to know what your end game was.

What did you think was gonna happen?

I thought I would come back

and my friend Michael would be very, very angry,

but in time,

he would understand and forgive.

It was never up to me.

Oh, Michael, look.

I know I've made trouble for you,

and I'm very sorry for the damage I caused.

I will repair what I broke with my own hands,

but, please, Margarethe will land any minute.

Soon, she will be at the motel.

Please take me back there.

Let us be together for a little, huh?

Let her see me and know everything is okay.

Ah, please, Michael.

I go back now,

I go back in the morning...

what difference can it make?

It's not gonna happen.

[SCOFFS]

Let me speak to Mr. Fring.

I will explain everything.

I will make him understand.

You're not gonna talk to Fring.

Oh, please. I know if I...

Werner, nothing you can say or do

will make anyone trust you again.

I will go home.

I will never breathe a word of this ever.

The money... I give all of it back.

I will tell no one.

I s-swear.

It will be as if none of this ever happened.

Please, Michael.

You know I will keep silent.

You know it. Please.

[SIGHS]

Does your wife have a cellphone with her?

Yes.

I need you to call her now.

She landed an hour ago.

But she knows nothing.

And you need to keep it that way.

She's being followed.

She's followed?

She goes back to the airport,

nothing will happen to her.

Surely they could not... they would not...

Hey, pull yourself together.

Give me the phone. I call her now.

- Calm... Calm Dow... - Give it to me.

Calm down!

She can't suspect.

It doesn't matter what you tell her,

as long as she goes back where she belongs.

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SPEAKING GERMAN] Darling...

Hello. Ja.

[SPEAKING GERMAN] You...

Oh, you're renting the car? Oh...

Yes, yes, uh...

I have very bad news.

There is a problem at the site.

Yeah. I've been called back.

What? No...

[SPEAKING GERMAN] No, no injured. None, no. I know. I know. No.

Please, please listen to me.

I am... [SNIFFS]

[SPEAKING GERMAN] I'm not at the motel. I'm not even in New Mexico.

You're going to have to take the next flight home.

[SPEAKING GERMAN] Margarethe, listen to me.

Margarethe, listen to me.

Shut up, now!

[SPEAKING GERMAN] You must go back home.

No! Out of the question.

This is my work. I must do it.

[SPEAKING GERMAN] And I don't want to see you at all, Margarethe.

I don't want to see you.

So go back home! Immediately. Now!

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[SNIFFLES]

Will she do it?

She was very angry,

but, yes, she will go home.

Michael...

if she does not hear a word from me,

she will ask questions.

She will go to the police.

There will be a story, an accident.

Lawyers will visit, German lawyers.

[SIGHS]

Her questions will be answered.

This you swear?

This I swear.

And my men?

They're going home.

They'll be okay. They're trusted.

[BREATHING SHALLOWLY]

Is there no other way, truly?

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

There are so many stars visible in New Mexico.

I will walk out there...

to get a better look.

[GUNSHOT]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

GALE: Wow.

I mean...

it's incredible.

I feel like we've been talking about this forever,

and now...

here it is.

An architectural feat.

Truly.

Herculean.

This is...

This is...

Yeah!

[CHUCKLES]

I can work with this.

I mean, it's not exactly what we talked about,

but it has possibilities, even unfinished.

Uh, ventilation at this point is the main hurdle,

but with a series of fans and the right equipment,

I am certain that I could do a rudimentary cook

at the very least.

Not until it is ready.

Oh.

Um, of course.

We only want to do it if it's done right.

I was just... exploring possibilities.

I am gonna go up and check the...

Okay.

[FOOTSTEPS CLUNKING]

Oh. Hello.

[FOOTSTEPS CLUNKING]

[FOOTSTEPS CLUNKING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

MAN: Of course.

That won't be a problem.

Where do you have it?

Okay.

This should do it.

Chuck wrote a good letter, huh?

Chuck wrote a great letter.

It's not just the words, though, you know?

It's how you read them.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

Jimmy, whatever happens in there...

I'm with you.

WOMAN: Mr. McGill, we've reviewed all the facts,

the same facts as the hearing committee.

We've evaluated their findings.

All that's left is for us to hear

your prepared statement.

So, whenever you're ready.

JIMMY: Thank you, Your Honor.

I-I don't have a prepared statement.

But I do have this.

Um, it's a letter

from my brother, Charles McGill.

He left it to me in his will,

and I received it last year after he passed.

[CLEARS THROAT]

"Dear Jimmy,

I have left many things unsaid

in our relationship through the years.

Rather than allow

these unspoken thoughts to die with me,

I've chosen to record them here for you.

I hope you will take my words

in the spirit in which they are intended.

I remember quite clearly

the day you came home from the hospital.

You can't imagine the joy on Mom's face.

I can honestly say I never saw her happier."

[PAPER RUSTLING]

I'm sorry. I can't do this.

I was...

I was just gonna try to...

I was gonna try to move you all

with my brother's eloquent words,

you know, pull on your heartstrings,

but it's not right.

This letter's between me and him,

and it should stay that way.

Listen, my brother, Chuck...

you... you knew him.

He loved me in his own way.

He loved me as a brother.

He did not love me as a lawyer.

Big reason I became a lawyer was Chuck.

He was the most brilliant man I ever knew.

And an incredible lawyer.

You know?

And, uh, he knew exactly who he was... exactly.

And all my life, I wanted to make him proud.

And he was not an easy man to make proud, you know?

Like climbing Everest without supplies.

If you were one of the lucky few who reached that peak,

even for a moment, if you made him proud,

wow, what a feeling.

Whew.

And he let you know it, too.

But if you weren't one of those people...

he was polite enough,

but he did not suffer fools, you know?

And he could be judgmental and difficult.

And he knew how to get under your skin.

And... could be a real son of a bitch.

[CHUCKLES]

Chuck was the one who was always right...

always.

And usually he was.

You know?

So, for a guy like me...

[SIGHS]

I did lousy in school.

I lacked ambition.

I always cut corners. I mean, for me

to live up to the standards of Charles McGill...

[CHUCKLES]

I mean, look at me.

I'll never be as moral as him.

I'll never be as smart.

I'll never be as respected.

I'll never be as good as Chuck.

[SNIFFS]

But I can try.

I can try.

If you decide, and I get to be a lawyer...

... I'll do everything in my power

to be worthy of the name McGill.

And if you decide I'm not a lawyer...

... doesn't matter.

I'll still try to be the best man that I can be.

I'm lucky.

I got this letter.

I never had a chance to write him a letter

and to tell him all the things that I should have.

And I got to believe that somehow...

... somehow he knows.

Oh, that's...

That'll have to do it for me.

Sorry.

Thank you.

I knew you could do it! I knew you had it in you.

- That was so great. - I mean, yes. They...

They have to reinstate you, right?

- They just have to. - Uh, yeah. Did you see those suckers?

That one asshole was crying.

He had actual tears!

Jesus, Kim!

Listen, I started reading the letter,

and I just knew it wasn't...

I could tell by their faces

it wasn't gonna be enough, right?

So I just went off on this flow, you know?

I had this energy going through me.

It was like improv or jazz, and then...

boom! I sunk the hook in!

I am so lucky I have this letter.

God, I could see the Matrix, you know?

I was invincible.

I could dodge bullets, baby.

And you were right. You were right.

It was all about Chuck the whole time.

Oh, Mr. McGill, you're still here.

There's some good news.

- JIMMY: Believe me, I already know. - Oh, good.

Then if you want to come with me to the office,

there's some paperwork for you to sign.

Absolutely. Let's do this thing.

Oh, and, sweetheart,

I'm gonna need one more form... a DBA...

because I'm not gonna be practicing

under the name McGill, so...

Shouldn't be a problem.

Just down the hall, we have all the forms.

- Great. Great. - Wait. Wh... Wait.

Jimmy, Jimmy, what?

S'all good, man.
