Then during the Sandpiper meetings, Chuck only seemed to attend those meetings to question Jimmy's methods in front of other lawyers, causing them to doubt. If a salesman tries extra hard to close a deal, because he hates the salesrep from the competitor company, his motivation might be wrong, but he is only doing the job he should have been doing for the right reason.Ĭhuck has always seemed to do things to hamper Jimmy's career. Sure, it was personal to Chuck, but there was absolutely noting morally, legally or ethically wrong with HHM trying to retain its client. What almost never happens is for a larger company to say, "Ah, lets let the little guy have that customer, they need it more than we do." You don't get to be a large company doing that. They competed for the client and HHM won. Nobody really "stole" the client from anybody. Pulling off a "devious and underhanded" scheme to get someone to admit to a devious and underhanded felony that they had committed against you and your client does not seem wrong to me, or at least not nearly as bad as the original scheme. I would not call Jimmy/Saul a "good guy", we know what he does later. Again, what is legal is not always what is right. Chuck may not have legally entrapped Jimmy with his scheme, but it was just as devious and underhanded as what Jimmy did, playing on Jimmy's devotion to his brother and obvious weakness for a family member with a psychiatric problem to extort a confession he could not prove otherwise. Which is why after three seasons I tire of it, no matter who's side I take or how much I favor one or the other. This is all child nonsense, by both of them, I agree with that. There was no reason for Chuck to try and keep them with HHM other than just his desire to kick Jimmy, metaphorically. They had no idea they could even have them as a client without Kim. HHM could have easily let it go, they would lose very little over it. She recruited the client initially, left the firm and was taking them with her. And we know Chuck has a part in creating Saul. That was certainly on display, too.Īnd, yeah, Saul's there. I think hearing that he was never going to get what he needed from Chuck was truly brutal.Īlso, when you've prepared for a hugely emotional endeavor like that, there is a degree of emotional exhaustion that accompanies it. Sure, he suspected he would get some kind of admission on the stand, but I don't think he was prepared, really, for what he heard. He discovered his brother didn't love him, never loved him. Then all the crap started flying to the fan.Īnd Jimmy found out. He thought going to law school and passing the bar would make his brother love him. The little boy, admittedly way down the wrong track, tried his best to earn that big brother's love. Then Chuck went away and spent many years ignoring that little boy because the child wasn't good enough for him. You would think he was Superman, that he could do anything. Think of being that little boy and having a much older brother.
Imagine what he went through all of his life. He was Saul.Īnd he was done, emotionally spent.
He wasn't Jimmy or slippin Jimmy in that scene. I was shocked when I saw his obvious contempt for his brother. Instead, he basically said that he has no brother in a very cold tone of voice.
I'm through with him for my own self protection. If I go within a mile of his house he'll just make up a bunch of new lies, and he'll believe them. I was his caretaker for years and all I get for it is him making up lies and trying to get me disbarred. He could have said something like, I'm not going anywhere near the man. Jimmy was very cold about how he said it.
