Technically, wouldn’t an odometer indicating the exact mileage between Albuquerque to the Cali seafront be _more_ suspicious? Who’d prioritize their odometer being reset before a drugs bender + suicide mission?
: One of the great things about Mike as a character is that he knows the drill and is as polite and understanding as can be, given the situation. He knows yelling doesn't help. He keeps it even-keeled and as by the numbers of possible. He treats them like young kids one their first day and as adults at the same time. Mike's *the* consummate pro *and* still a human about it.
Howard is the Drew Sharp of BCS, an Innocent caught up at the wrong place and at the wrong time and whose death changes everything. Just like Drew, he just disappears. No body to bury or a grave marker to go to.
One of the last scenes with Mike is him cleaning up an apartment after an accidental death and coaching the witnesses on what to tell the cops, Just like his first scene with Jane in Breaking Bad.
Mike forcing Kim and Jimmy to tell the story they invented about Howard to the public is like a dad forcing their kids to eat the entire cake after he caught them taking a alice of it.
I always try so hard to picture Mike in these as the way he looked when he was younger in BB, I always manage to do it and it always blows my mind for whatever reason.
Only issue I have with this scene is that Mike could have told them Lalo was dead. Could have easily put their minds at ease given how shaken up they were. But then we wouldn’t have gotten the Lalo name drop in BB so I suppose it makes sense
Total Jane Vibes from Mike in BB "That's all you know " exact same line. At least Saul didn't need to get slapped by Mike to process the gravity of the situation. On a side note Kim looks so dead here, great acting, she went from brilliant adventurous attorney, to having the thrill of breaking bad, with Jimmy to now destroyed inside.
