"Jimmy snuck in and-" "-DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!" That made me spit tea out my nose

Man I remember watching this and it was just so hard to watch whenever the plan goes into full effect. Especially when he gets the photos back it kills me every-time. I can’t wait till July 11th Fr!

No matter how tough their financial situation are, Jimmy, Kimmy and Lalo still managed to send Howard on a trip to Belize.

I felt bad for Howard being framed. I never felt bad for Chuck during his chicanery outburst. I actually enjoyed watching Chucks downfall and his psychosomatic illness being exposed.

They totally expected Howard to come to the house. When Howard first knocks on the door, Kim says "We should probably get this over with." and Jimmy says he'll get the door "in case [he] comes in swinging". So it's not like Howard's presence at their house was unexpected, it was still part of their plan and he died because of it. They're almost directly responsible for his death, intended or not.

The fact that Lalo even knows where Jimmy lives is also an unintended consequence of something Kim does that turns out to be a huge misstep. I don't think Lalo even knows his real name, but when she panics that he doesn't come home that night from the desert, she goes to the jail the next day and has to give her real name to get in. Of course Lalo has no useful information for her about what's going on in the desert right now (how could he?) but once he has her name and who she is, he finds Jimmy. That's her place and her lease. There was no way to know without this incident. More escalation and unintended terrible consequences.

I like the scene of Howard running up the spiral stairs showing him spiralling out of control.

This storyline reminded me of Mike & the Ice Cream Truck. Mike wants to get the DEA on Hector (which would also mean Nacho) , and does a DIY project with his granddaughter to hit Hector's smuggling truck. His succeeds in hitting the truck but, unintended consequences, a random person stops to help the driver and gets killed by Hector. Then the cartel kills the driver, which Nacho participates in but clearly doesn't WANT to do. He just knows he has to. Mike wasn't trying to get the driver and a random person killed, but everything escalates beyond his intent and that happens as an indirect result of his plan.

Watching the whole series again from the start, so much stands out...this show is BRILLIANT

Its interesting how before dying Howard says that he will dedicate his life to making sure that everybody knows the truth about Jimmy and Kim and 1 minute later he dies and by doing so it may very well happen that he accomplished his goal.

Every detail of the long con was brilliant! I never picked up that the guy was holding out the branch so the staged photo would look like it was covertly taken by the PI from behind a tree. I love the 'show don't tell' aspects of this show that reward you for paying attention.

Yeah I assume they ruined his life because they also unintentionally ended it.

One thing you missed is how the Kettlemans went to Mesa Verde and talked to Erin Brill about Howard's "drug addiction." Almost everyone in that room was primed to believe that Howard was using cocaine.

Remember- Jimmy never would have been screwing around with Howard had he known Lalo was alive- Howard’s literal death is Kim’s fault- And let’s take a moment to consider- Kim wasn’t even worried about Lalo because she was so in love with her Howard plans - KIM IS TRULY SICK

Kim also doesn’t seem nearly as shocked/scared when Lalo enters their house and shoots Howard.

The storytelling in this series is truly astounding. Thank you for the video man, keep up the great work!

Me: takes a shot everytime Kiwi says "unhinged" Also me: dies of alcohol poisoning

"In a much more brutal manner." No, Kiwi. Being burned alive (Chuck) is way worse than being shot in the head. At least, that what I'd imagine. Burning alive has got to be the worst death.

Kiwi blessing us on a Monday! Made my lunch break very enjoyable keep up the good work brother

I just rewatched all of BB and now I am at Season 4 of BCS. The shows mirror each other at times. Even down to the support groups in both, the one Jesse attends, then Mike in BCS. Mike has the same kind of relationship with Nacho and Jesse, he seems to want to save them both, possibly due to losing his own son. Some of the characters also share similar traits and the demise of them. On top of that you have the drama and suspense that reaches high levels and the twists and turns not to mention all the Easter eggs. The writers, directors and actors all make these shows some of the best tv ever made in my opinion. Love your channel Kiwi x

Good point that Kim and Jimmy lucked out that Howard didn’t go upstairs to get the photos himself. But even luckier is that he left evidence like this on his desk. Me, I give the evidence to staff to get copied immediately and the originals locked up.

14:10 "Somehow he switched them. No, Jimmy, he snuck in somehow and-" "DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!!" Bravo Kiwi for that edit job

Staying on top of the game per usual. Good stuff wiki, like always

Did you ever do a video tracking the timeline and their relationship? A friend and i are watching this series for a 3rd time ahead of the last 6 episodes and now that we can work backwards we caught so much great stuff. Looks like they had to take some creative liberties with what ages the actors appear because they had the same Saul actor. In episode 1 Kim and Jimmy are only supposed to be 34/41. Jimmy arrives in ABQ/HHM 10 years prior to episode 1, right after his SECOND marriage ends in a dramatic blowout with his wife leaving him and he gets out of jail. He'd be 31. Kim starts working there around the same time and we see the mail room and office park isn't that big - so she'd only be 24. Further episode tell us she was broke, lonely with nobody to look out for her, and raised by an alcoholic. He's a charming but scammy 31 year old guy who's already been divorced twice, who befriends a really young woman. She goes to law school then he goes after she finishes. Chuck doesn't know he was in school but she did. Add in that neither of them look like bridge trolls, even though it takes 10 years due to a number of potential factors (plus what they want the trajectory of the relationship to look like in the timeline we see), from day 1 this was destined to be serious drama and codependency. We only see the relationship 10 years from the start, and the brief interaction shown in episode 1 looks so intimate even if the relationship is still "just friends". They've got a long history together which spans most of her adult life - and it appears he's the only close/consistent person around in her adult life, ever. Chuck says something but only around the 10 year mark so it's way too late to intervene. It's all set up so perfectly. We could see the boundaries break down to nothing as the episodes go by, although they have few boundaries even at the start. Early on Jimmy "takes care" of Chuck like making the space blankets, but his relationship with Kim has a strong caregiving element too, more so as the episodes go by . Looking at it in the context of this started as a 31 year old man who had 2 wives leave him / 24 year old young woman who was broke and had nobody, even the fast-forward 13 years later (the current episodes we see) make a lot of sense as to why the dynamic is what it is.

It is only because of Kiwi and The Boys that I am able to stand this break waiting on the second half of the series. Thanks Kiwi

Thanks for keeping the videos coming during the mid-season hiatus. It helps keep everything fresh in my mind. It also is inspiring me to watch all the episodes again in season 6 up to this point. 👍👍

“No, Jimmy, he snuck in somehow and… DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!” 🤣

Thank you for the vid. We appreciate them a lot 🎁🌞🥳

Great breakdown!

Stuff like this makes you realize the timing of the show in terms of the year make it a perfect moment in history, where a technology is good enough for the stuff to happen, but not so good that stuff like the printed out photos or the copy machine could even happen since nowadays, the photos would be digital and emailed

I would LOVE to see a flashback with Michael McKean and Ed Begley Jr. playing musical instruments together. EBJ was the first drummer of Spinal Tap as John 'Stumpy' Pepys.

i felt so bad that howard was suspicious and still fell for it.

Ohhhh he was doing a fishing reel , I thought he was miming sharpening a pencil and was like huh

This was an amazing episode absolutely! But I'd have to say episode 603 'Rock and Hard Place' was the best episode of BCS ever!! Also 'Five-O' from Season 1 was up there too!

Fighter jet? That's a B-29! 16:05

I remember developing film in a dark room. Prior to enlarging the prints, you had to develop the film. That was a pretty lengthy process from what i remember. It’s a timed process determined by the film manufacturer. How long exactly did Jimmy and Kim supposedly perform all these task?

26K subs!! Go Kiwi!!!

Why do you keep blaming Jimmy, when it was Kim's idea and actions that led to Howard's death.

I did not like the story line of Saul and Kim planning this revenge of Howard. I was asking the same questions Howard did, what did he do that was so wrong to ruin his life. He may have landed on his feet but drug abuse as a lawyer could have ruined his career. I felt bad for Howard.

I'm watching this series for the 3rd time right now and I'm on the other side of this. From episode 1 they set up that Howard's an asshole. it's "just business" but he screws over the two of them (and Chuck) multiple times as the seasons go by, in big ways that could affect lifetime earnings and career trajectory. It makes sense they eventually try to ruin one of his deals, try to get a sum of money that they wanted to dump into helping people, and get the nursing home residents theirs too. Those firms have a ton of money. Worst that happens is he gets chewed out by someone then moves on to the next thing. It's said explicitly in Inventing Anna. Guys like that only fail upwards. The audience knows Howard has problems in his personal life already, but they don't know that and couldn't possibly have a clue. Like everything on this show it's some "low level" thing that escalates through unfortunate coincidences then has serious unintended consequences: like trying to put one over on those asshole Kettleman's but accidentally walking into Abuela's house instead. There was no reason to think anybody would die here, or anything would happen except Howard looks like an idiot in that board room but moves on to the next deal, as usual. Yes they were expecting Howard but there was no reason to think Lalo would show up and kill him. Mike even said it's highly unlikely Lalo would make contact. When Mike finds out about this he's probably going to blame himself for pulling the security off. I love how everything escalates on this show and coincidences of wrong place/wrong time have such a huge impact. I can't wait to see how they're going to resolve this. My guess is someone else has to get shot with that gun, and badly, to make it look like a murder attempt/suicide.

Once the mid season finale ended I still couldn’t process what truly happened. Not only was Howard’s legacy tarnished, he doesn’t even get the chance to recover it.

14:14 "Jimmy, he snuck in somehow and DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!"

I must add, however, that your assertion that "if someone tells you he's not crazy, he most likely is" makes no sense whatsoever, just as do these situations wherein they occur. In either case, we know exactly what events conspired to produce these totally legitimate responses. Chuck's account for Jimmy's sins is one of the most truthful moments in the story, as is Howard's bold conviction that this all was Jimmy's doing. Obviously, if somebody tells you he's not crazy, it's because *he's not,* and this must be asserted to negate the notion that he is, which is a constant accusation whensoever one bears witness to extreme phenomena. *[({R.G.)}]*

The judge inadvertently helps Jimmy and Kim by saying the exact things that someone who had been genuinely paid off might have said - talking about 'compromise' etc. He also has a kind of charming personality and cracks a mild joke or two which might further remind Howard of Jimmy.

the mediation scene was incredible

As a BB/BCS junkie, I would like to say that Kiwi, your videos are like finding a baggy of blue meth on my doorstep every time you upload. Also, crazy people say “I’m not crazy!” Sane people ask “Am I crazy?”

best content on youtube, july 11 can’t come soon enough

I love that all of the recommended videos on my sidebar are along the lines of "SIX CRAZY TROPANE ALKALOID STORIES! featuring shadow people!". I'm 100% convinced that the vet drug had to be something like atropine and/or scopolamine. Definitely a tropane.

It answers Jimmy’s question to Kim last season, “Am I bad for you?” Their powers together have gotten people killed. I think Kim survives Lalo but Kim and Saul know they can’t be together. But, I don’t think I’ve guessed right this entire series so who knows. July 11, 2022 can’t get here fast enough.

The fact writing occurred in order for the script to exist is just a testament to how brilliant the writing is on this show!!

This show makes breaking bad feel like a sequel

19:20 Schadenfreude is only sickening if its not deserved... Kim and Jimmy fully believes it is no?

Best episode of television I’ve ever seen.

Has anyone asked whether the fake PI correlates to an entry in the Caldera book?

There is no such thing as a law firm that does not have a detective agency on contract, or at least having one they are familar with and often hire. You think people tell their girlfriends, wives, friends, bosses, co-workers, relatives, the truth? You think companies tell each other the truth when suing one another? Or when companies work together? Or when they are merging, you think they tell each other all about the other's balance sheet in full? Sure they are supposed to, but you don't think they try and cheat anyway? District Attornys and United States Attornys have their own forces to uncover the hidden information. Any attorney in the private sector in any way though, has a private detective or detective agency on call or contract

OMG I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!!! What if the Trip to Belize bit comes from how they cover up Howard’s death?!?

Kim's and Jimmy's plan was genius

Jimmy should have said “No” to Howard’s job offer like a normal person. Unfortunately, Jimmy is not a normal person.

Can we an analysis of Finger at some point please?

It didnt made Sense to me that Howard hired the Conman given that a big Law Firm like HHM would have a bunch of exeptional PIs, heck the would have Investigators employed. He would have never hired an PI he never seen before and worked with

For those completely blaming jimmy and Kim for Howard’s death, consider the fact that if they invited Howard over for dinner that night the result would’ve been the same. He died, because he was there. Whether he was there because of the con or any other reason, the result would be the same.

At the end chuck was right jimmy is always going to hurt everyone around him and that is going to include Kim.

So what does everyone think? Does Cliff ultimately believe Howard or not?

I recently rewatched BB and BCS before the Season 6 premier and I feel like I forgot everything. For example, Jesse doesn't know Walt killed Mike does he? And that Gomey and Hank are also dead. Peter & Vince don't need to mesh BB and BCS together for me bc apparently, my brain is mushing them together all on its own.

"Pinkie promise?" "Pinkie, All the other fingers.." Sounds like some grim foreshadowing..

Me and all my homies hate jimmy and kim. Rip howard

I knew when Jimmy and Kim’s plan went off without a hitch something bad was going to happen. But I did not expect that, I must admit. Howard was an amazing character and one of the best in the universe

Howard was such an interesting character to me it was sad to see him go though

Real tough stance there on Kimmy and Jimmy.

poor howard! :(

I wouldn’t say they ruined his life, lalo did.

So similar to Walter and Hank. I hated Hank and loved Walter at the start of Breaking Bad. I hated Walt and loved Hank at the end of Breaking Bad. I loved Jimmy at the start of BCS and hated Howard. I hated jimmy and loved Howard at the end of BCS. Tell I'm crazy here.....but i don't think I'm wrong.

These videos are holding me down until July 11th

Rand Casemiro spoke like a wise man

You have to remember the older seasons when thinking about why. Jimmy had thought that Howard was the one that didn’t want him at HHM and that when offered the job after Chuck passed, that it was out of pity. Almost like a smack in the face. We know Chuck made it seem like Howard was the one who didn’t like Jimmy but from Jimmys perspective, it was years of hate from Howard. Jimmy literally lived in a nail salon because he didn’t have the money because in his mind Howard wouldn’t let him in. Jimmy thought Howard was the one who was ruining his life for so long and that this was his way of fighting back. Finally getting revenge. He wanted Howard ruined because in his mind Howard had ruined him for so long.

Kims u turn basically killed howard

You didn't mention motivations at all. Why did they do it - that's the most important part about characters development. It seems Jimmy does it for fun (Chicago times) or to help people (Kim mainly - mr acker, mesa verde) or even for himself to help his career or money or ambition. That's why he wasn't keen on doing that scheme on Howard at the beginning. Kim on the other hand - ... fucking hell.

Can't forget that Jimmy didn't want to do this con and tried several times to back out. This is essentially Kim's con.

I'm seeing 157 comments listed under the video but when I click I can't see a single one of thrm.

It's worth noting that Kim literally drives a U turn Through the mud↩️⛔️⚠️➿️ What Jimmy and Kim did to Howard was horrible, and I literally wanted to give Howard a hug, he deserved to have a much better life. Despite his wealth and status, he sought to be a good man😔

Might just be me but I believe Howard mirrored Hank from Bb at first they were assholes, but turns out they were the good guy all along

poor Howard 💔💔

I did not see Howard's brutal end coming. I thought the liquid would transfer to Irene from the wheel chair and give her a stroke or heart attack

Is Howard going to be the reason Mike is in the body disposal business??

Chuck was so right and his death is also super sad. He saw all this from miles away to the point where it drove him literally insane and take his own life.

Poor Howard 😭

I'm so conflicted by Howard's death. On one hand, he didn't deserve it whatsoever, it's no far with Walter Jr. being bullied in school, abandoned by his parents, thrown into legal trouble by Hank and then killed. But on the other hand... if he didn't die the way he did, Jimmy and Kim would've NEVER felt guilty over what they did to him.

I think Howard landed on his face not feet.

20:35 This didn't age well at all 😐 "yes I will always land on my feet"

They are now guilty of involuntary manslaughter. They aren't going to declare Howard's death a suicide and just leave it at that. They're going to try to determine what would motivate him to do it. They will talk to many people who will tell them "Howard was acting strangely and claiming that Kim and Jimmy are setting him up" They will then talk to the film crew who will admit to taking the photos (they aren't in trouble as they had little to no idea what was going on) then they will talk to the people at the club who will confirm Jimmy was there and making a huge scene. The same day his career was ruined he kept saying "I didn't do this" he shows up to Kim and Jimmy's apartment where he was "inebriated and not making any sense" he then allegedly drove to the beach and killed himself. They did a very poor job with both planning and execution.

I love your videos but can you please change up the background music? It loops over and over and it makes them hard to listen to (even though the soundtrack is fire).

KZfaq shows you have 153 comments, where are they? I can't see one?

Patrick Fabien should win all the awards for this performance....no joke. (edit because i forgot).....He literally stole the show.

Season 6 kills off all of the main characters. Every. Single. One.

I don't get why mike only told Kim about Lalo.

I always knew that Howard was going to win that boxing match. Physical things are not Sauls' strong suit. What about anyon e else? What did you think?

For the Season 6 tier list, instead of making one just for the first seven episodes why not wait until the whole season is over to do it all at once? We’re only four weeks away from the return, and I’m sure the Seasons 3-5 tier lists + whatever else you have planned will be enough to pass the time by

Howard is basically Hank in BCS. They both are just regular guy who just doing their jobs but the protagonists (Walt in BB and Jimmy/ Saul in BCS) become greedy for money and power, they have to work extra hard to outsmart them. In Hank's case, Walt tried to fool him many times that he is not Heisenberg and Hank missed this while in Howard's case, Jimmy has to proof himself that he is a capable lawyer because Howard is just like Chuck, not trusting Jimmy 100%. After losing Hank, Walt's life becomes a downward spiral, his family hates him, he betrayed Jesse to Neo Nazi and he becomes a wanted man. Meanwhile, after losing Howard, Jimmy broke up with Kim and decided to cope his grief with his Saul Goodman persona only later he got involved with Walter White, and run away to be Gene Takavic. Walt paid his consequences by dying in gun shots while Jimmy paid his consequences by going to prison for 86 years.

Howard deserved better

Was it ever explained exactly _how_ Jimmy ensured that the PI Howard hired was specifically the one that was actually working for Jimmy? Absolutely love the show but that seems really farfetched unless the actual explanation just flew over my head!
