Let's revisit BetterCallSaul's best scams and swindles that have formed Jimmy McGill into the infamous criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.
Under the direction of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the scams and cons that occur throughout Better Call Saul know no limit and can range from massive to minute. No matter the scale, they always pack a punch that leaves the audience in awe and craving more.
What follows is one of the more entertaining montages in the series as Jimmy sets out to get sacked. Showing up in obnoxiously colored suits and even wilder ties, bringing a juicer into the office and constantly using it, playing the bagpipes in his office, all intercut by the imagery of the flailing inflatable. Jimmy becomes unavoidable, assaulting his coworkers' senses in every possible way.
5. The Tequila Scam - "Switch" While imbibing at a swanky hotel bar after deciding to leave the law, Jimmy, who is joined by his friend Kim, wants to try a shot of tequila called Zafiro Añejo but is discouraged by the $50 price point. The pair happen to be sitting near a pompous stockbroker, who is in the middle of loudly blabbing about his latest deal into his Bluetooth earpiece.
While the trick itself wasn’t much more than a reverse-pickpocket routine, the cunning of the scam is found in the ramifications. The room was empty of all electronics, including lights and cell phones, as requested by Chuck himself. It was filled with jurors and a judge to bear witness. He even had Chuck describe his symptoms, getting him to confirm that he was fine in his current state.
Like a pit crew in the heat of a race, Jimmy’s ‘veteran’ is out of his wheelchair, posed heroically in front of Fifi, while the film crew uses the wheelchair as a dolly to shoot the scene. They don’t waste a single second, and they get out undetected. Jimmy now has the commercial footage he needs and the misplaced respect of an entire Air Force Base.
