All caught up. Damn good show.

I believe you're right. It was over 1 mil.

It was $1.6 million, with a $30,000 "retainer" paid to Saul.

Who's will?

i was half asleep.. when did he give mike the money?

Not a spoilery discussion, just your typical convention roundtable, but 90min of the main 3 cast.

The total was somewhere around there. The "retainer" was $300,000, I thought.

Ok. Thanks

Mike's character kind of jumped from being simply a dirty disillusioned ex-cop to a master b&e artist with great spy skills. Loved it, though.

You don't remember Mike in the Pollos Hermanos delivery trailer?

Or Full Measure Mike?

The Pollos work is in the future. I am on board with Mike being a tough bad-ass in the present. But how does he know how to mark cash with UV spray, and enter an occupied domicile with ninja quietness. When did he develop those skills?

He was dirty. I just figure it's gonna come out he was more than glance away dirty.

It's a stretch, but he's not jacking art from the Louvre. There are a lot of substances that will fluoresce under UV light. All he really needed to do was pick a lock, and we know that he has skills in subterfuge based upon him getting into the cop car with a string (which, I believe, requires a great deal of dramatic license).

The hardest part to believe is that Mr. Kettleman would take the trash out that night and just happen to notice the bills in the back of the RC truck that is on the ground, ten feet away from where he's looking.

Gilligan wrote dozens of episodes of The X-Files, so it's pretty cool to see some of that carry over a bit in Saul. :D
