S5E1 · Magic Man

Complete story — includes the ending

In a flash-forward, the taxi driver (Jeff) tells Gene he recognizes him as Saul Goodman. Gene calls Ed, "the Disappearer", but changes his mind and says he will handle the problem himself. In 2004, Jimmy tells Kim the "Saul Goodman" alias he used for his cell phone business gives him an instant criminal law client base. Nacho reports rumors that cocaine Gus provided the Salamancas is inferior, which Lalo confirms. Gus tells Lalo and Juan Bolsa that Werner was building a chiller on the chicken farm under Mike's supervision but fled with stolen cocaine, which Gus replaced with locally acquired meth. Lalo accepts Gus' apology and cover story but remains suspicious. Gus shuts down lab construction, and Mike sends Werner's crew home. Upset over Gus' lack of compassion for Werner, Mike refuses to accept payment during the downtime. Saul gives away his remaining cell phones to publicize his criminal law practice. Saul's camera crew helps generate publicity for his practice by faking a confrontation with Deputy District Attorney Oakley. When Kim's client refuses a favorable plea bargain, Jimmy offers to help trick him into accepting; Kim refuses, but ends up successfully running the con herself.
