This is such a sad scene because it highlights how Chuck sees Jimmy versus what Jimmy's priorities actually are. Chuck assumes that when he finds out, Jimmy's only concern will be getting the tape to escape consequence, in a cold methodical manner. But Jimmy isn't just scared about a stupid tape. He's angry, and what enrages him is how Chuck could destroy what little was left of their relationship and abuse it, "for this". Chuck may been right a whole lot of the time, but he was wrong about the most important stuff

Chuck despises Jimmy for being "slippy" and successfully applying "street methods/rules" to solve problems *not because it violates the law* but because he is likeable and popular with others despite of it. In other words, he is jealous that Jimmy is more succesful with these social aspects of life. He presents himself as a chariot of law and order but in reality all he really cares about is his ego and his personal interests. The law is just the excuse here to hide his own immorality.

this scene really shows you how good their acting really was

Howard: *goes to talk to Chuck about limiting/firing expensive security* Jimmy: *shows up* Howard: secretly thinking *YES*

"officers of the court" I have a feeling that if Chuck was given a lawyer badge he'd where it every day with pride.

I love how they battle like a chess game, every move is calculated. Chuck thinks he's got a Jimmy in a checkmate here, but he doesn't see the King still has one more move.

wouldn't it be more accurate to say... destroyed a cassette tape?

A lot of people comment on how important this scene is to developing Jimmy and Chuck's relationship, but for me what stands out is how it marks a big change for Howard and Chuck's. I think it's here that you really start to see how Howard has spent years being an outsider looking into their awful, toxic relationship. How he doesn't personally hate Jimmy the same way Chuck does, and how he clearly feels Chuck would have benefited a long time ago from just easing up on his war with his brother. From here on, Howard repeatedly shows up as a voice of reason trying to get Chuck to put his personal vendetta and pride out of the way, because he sees how it's hurting him and HHM - this scene, trying to get Chuck not to testify at Jimmy's bar hearing, after the hearing when he tries to comfort Chuck by suggesting he just forget about Jimmy entirely. And, more broadly, it sets up Howard's tragedy of constantly being caught up in and hurt by the chaos of Jimmy's life.

I gotta be honest, I didn’t think Jimmy would be able to break down the door. Since he is known to be sort of a wimp, I figured it would escalate into more of a comedic scene, like the scene where Walter attempts to “talk with Ted” in Breaking Bad. Gotta love these little details in Better Call Saul, really goes to show the type of person Jimmy/Saul really is.

@@beagle626 Also also I reread the comment that started this argument. Chuck's the cover of darkness line.

So why would Chuck not assume Jimmy would adopt if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality to their feud. Especially if Jimmy used a slip and fall act as a con man over and over again more than other cons.

I'm realizing now that Howard stopped the private investigator from intervening in the hope that jimmy would find the tapes and destroy them, rather than letting him commit a more serious crime. Howard only interfered when Jimmy was about to commit a more serious crime. Howard went from being depicted as a rich snob to a very tragic character who actually cared about Jimmy and Kim.

Chuck can be manipulative, but he’s genuinely doing what he thinks is best for his brother. And frankly, it WOULD’VE been best for him. Look at the miserable life Jimmy is leading now, hiding. Look where his actions got him in Breaking Bad. Had Jimmy not broke Chuck in the courtroom, and then used his brother’s subsequent death to get his license back, Chuck would’ve been right. Even if it was a terrible thing he did. But on the other hand, INCREDIBLE TV for us. HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF!

Not sure if it was intentional but I feel like Chuck assuming Jimmy will come at nightfall when he really comes during the day is somewhat metaphorical. Chuck knows Jimmy, yet he doesn't fully understand him, especially on an emotional level. SebDoesNothing's great comment actually reinforces this in a way. Chuck's assumption that Jimmy's main concern is the tape, not the damage to their relationship. (I encourage you to read his/her's comment).

I like how jimmy had the last laugh in court

“You tell me or I’ll burn this whole goddamn house to the ground!” Crazy foreshadowing I didnt even pick up on

"you tell me or i'll burn this whole goddamn house to the ground" Well, about that...

You can hear Jimmy's tires screeching as he pulls up at 1:48 before Chuck and Howard's conversation is interrupted. Great detail!

This was it, the moment jimmy and chucks relationship truly broke down forever I know jimmy tried to apologize but this is truly THE moment, he felt chuck had betrayed him had “pulled that heartstrings con-job” jimmy felt he’d been conned BY chuck his own brother

Jimmy was played like a damn fiddle. Everyone's pointing out how Chuck was wrong saying "I know my brother" because Jimmy came during the day instead of at night but he was right about Jimmy breaking into the house to destroy evidence, which is what counted.

@MysteriousTomJenkins

Not really because he only broke it due to feeling betrayed, not to avoid consequences. Jimmy is a smart lawyer and would know a tape wouldn't do much against him, he's just angry that Chuck manipulated him like that. The reason Chuck thinks he will come at night is because he thinks Jimmy only cares about saving his own skin, but that isn't what Jimmy cares about at all in this situation which is why he barges in clear as day. Someone concerned about saving their own skin wouldn't break in so openly and destroy property. Chuck was right that Jimmy would show up at his house, but that was the only thing he was right about.

I like how Howard jumps in the moment that Jimmy talks about burning the house to the ground, he's actually protecting Jimmy from saying anything too incriminating, keeping him from getting himself in more trouble than he already has.
