Storyline

Walt and Jesse have yet another problem to deal with when one of their dealers, Jesse's friend Badger, is arrested by the Albuquerque police. They end up hiring a shady lawyer, Saul Goodman, who has a unique way of ensuring that Badger gets off with a light sentence without having to give away Jesse or Walt's identity. As Walt learns however, it may come at a very high price. Walt's brother-in-law Hank, the DEA Agent, is suffering from post-traumatic stress following the shooting in Juarez. He puts on a brave face but is having trouble just getting out of bed in the morning. Walt has some suggestions for him.

Goofs

In the opening credits, Director of Photography Michael Slovis' name has "Ch" highlighted as if it is a chemical element, despite no such symbol actually being defined by chemists/IUPAC. It could perhaps be an error regarding chlorine, whose symbol is "Cl", or supposed to refer to the "CH" groups widely seen in organic chemistry.

Quotes

Walter White: [pretending to be Badger's uncle] If Brandon informs on this Heisenberg, I mean, what if, God forbid, that they decide to... take revenge?
Saul Goodman: What have you been telling him? The kid keeps spouting off about "I-If I talk, they'll kill me," blah, blah, blah. You know, right now, he's the only thing holding up this deal.
Walter White: [more to himself] Good
Saul Goodman: No, that's not good. That's terrible. Trust me, sir, your nephew won't last in prison two weeks, all right? You let him take his chances on the outside. Maybe I can...
