After the death of Tortuga in the previous episode Hank is still shell-shocked, is sent back to Albuquerque and closes himself in his room. Walt goes to Hank and discusses with him about how his cancer diagnosis helped him to overcome his fears, reassuring him to do the same and return to his old work. So Hank returns to his job and goes with his partner Gomez to discuss with Badger, freshly arrested for drug possession. Badger choses for his defense bizarre lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) who always advertises himself on TV with the slogan Better Caul Saul and is capable of saving many delinquents from critical situations without not many legal ways. After lots of trials and tribulations in the real sense of the word and with the help of James Kilkelly - a man that often goes in jail instead of others - Badger will be again free and Saul proposes to be for Walt what Tom Hagen was for Vito Corleone, and Walt is amazed to see that Saul is more than a simple small-town lawyer.
Saul Goodman's character was great I admit it since it was the first time, but what prevented me to give this episode a higher score it's that the tricks used by Jesse and Walter for forcing Saul to release Badger were slow and dragged the episode unnecessarily for me. Still, good considering the great amount of good episodes in the show.
