"Desperate Lawyer" S3E9: Just look at the results, not the process!

Aisha 2022-09-22 18:45:08

Every time I write a drama review, deleting and selecting pictures is the most painful thing, especially in a drama like the lawyer. There are too many details to talk about, but considering the length and amount of labor, I often have to reluctantly give up my love, leaving only the most I think is the most. The essence... The characters and clues in the ninth episode are still very rich, such as Mike, Gus, Nacho, etc. Of course, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the McGill brothers , I can't help but feel this feeling: Fortunately , thanks Chuck and Jimmy had a complete falling out. If the brothers could join forces from the beginning, with their ability and ruthlessness, not to mention invincible in the world, it would not be a problem to dominate New Mexico and even the entire Southwestern United States legal scene. But that's also the case. The two McGill brothers are destined to be alone. Chuck has long been alone, and how long can Jin be with Jimmy?

Mike and Lydia

Mike followed Gus's instructions and came to the German company Pastoral Electric Company to find Lydia to launder money. This paragraph seems straightforward, but the conversation between the two is still very chewy. Human intelligence and status.

After Lydia saw Mike, she immediately said that she could join the company and asked for a copy of Lao Mai's ID card - Mike immediately asked what was going on with this "employment" and how was the money laundering process?

Lydia was not at all dissatisfied or impatient with Mike's prudence, and explained all the procedures patiently and meticulously , telling him that the money could be laundered in just 20 weeks.

On the one hand, Mike suggested that his title of "Logistics Consultant" should be changed to "Security Consultant", which would be more natural. On the other hand, he expressed concern that "Germans like to check accounts".

Lydia went on to tell him how big and powerful the Pastoral Company was, and that Mike's money was nothing to them.

After the matter was "checked", the next step was to "check" the person . Mike said bluntly, "Have you done this many times for Gus?"

" It's the first time I've done it to anyone. I don't care what you do, but Mr Flynn definitely thinks you're great. "

All of Lydia's answers were impeccable, and Mike had always asked her for this trip. When he couldn't find any doubts, he finally handed over his documents and got rid of the other party - but don't think that Mike will I've let go of my guard.

"Looks like you took a big risk for a drug dealer."

"Drug dealer? If you think he's just like this, then you really don't know Gustavo Flynn at all ." With just a few words, Gus and his own status have been raised, Mike, even if you are shrewd and careful , the other side stands taller than you and sees wider .

It was only at this point that Mike finally put down his guard (or the last restraint), and after a little hesitation, he simply signed and signed.

At the end of the last episode, Mike and Gus only reached a verbal agreement, and at this moment finally became Gus's accomplice in the form of a "contract" .

Gus and Hector

What is Big Boss Gus doing now? Waiting for the bigger boss Eladio to speak and adjudicate the conflict between him and Hector .

After the ice cream shop was closed down before, Hector forcibly took Gus's route to deliver goods for himself, which was a taboo in itself...

Now that the boss has spoken, he first affirmed Hector's method, saying that it is less risky, and your territory is still yours. After Balabala had a bunch of nice words, he finally added, " Everything is handled by that Chilean . "

Our fried chicken uncle has always been happy and angry in front of people! After hearing this this time, the corner of the left side of his mouth rose slightly, and then disappeared.

After playing Eagle all his life, Xiao Jiaqiao pecked his eyes... Hector probably thought so, he immediately dropped his phone in anger and glared at Gus.

Uncle Fried Chicken immediately pretended to be innocent: Senior, I never thought of this, this is not what I want... (What can you do to me?)...

Hector was in a hurry and fell ill before he scolded the following words. He took the fake medicine with Gus on his back, which attracted the attention of everyone at the scene.

After recovering, Hector scolded the last few words and walked away, leaving only the more intriguing eyes of Nacho and Gus.

nacho and dad

Officially, because what Nacho gave Hector was not a poison that would kill him immediately, but a fake drug that had no treatment to delay the effect, Hector would not burp any time soon .

But this also means that the old man will soon take over Nacho's father's store according to his own plan.

In desperation, Nacho could only bite the bullet and tell his father: someone wants to take over your store for a while, and he must not refuse .

" I started working for them again... " In Nacho's not long words, we learned a lot. Nacho understood that Dad was going to resist or call the police, and quickly persuaded him not to do stupid things, just follow Hector's instructions honestly, and it would take a few weeks, "I swear it will be over soon."

But Dad obviously doesn't want to believe his son who made a mistake again... at least he doesn't want to see him again.

The next reaction of the Nacho family will be a major variable that affects the entire Gus story line, and even affects half of the next half of the plot.

Chuck and Howard

What Chuck does in this episode proves that he is indeed the same type of person as his younger brother, and they can do whatever they can to achieve their goals.

Due to Jimmy's "leakage", the insurance company noticed Chuck, who was at risk of practicing, so ignoring HHM's good attitude that he had paid the full 25-year premium, he took the opportunity to say that he would double the premiums of all practicing lawyers in the law firm, or give Chuck on "Guardianship" means.

In the face of the insurance company's apparent behavior of taking the opportunity to make trouble, of course, Howard tried his best, but he didn't expect Chuck to suddenly kill Tianchao.

Either stop immediately, or wait for the lawsuit... You heard that right, I'm just threatening you, get out.

After confidently driving the opponent away, Chuck analyzed the situation on his own, and even looked forward to the next battle. But Howard turned his back on him and mentioned a well-known retired lawyer - the implication is, Chuck, you should retire .

Howard gave Chuck a blueprint for a beautiful retirement: becoming an honorary partner, concentrating on research, and writing books... In the face of Chuck's reluctance, Howard could only state that "this is not a suggestion".

Chuck thought the problem was with the premium and his physical condition , so he immediately turned on the light and touched the light to prove that he was fine. In this regard, Howard finally told the truth:

"...The decisions you've made recently are confusing. If I can't trust my partner's judgment, it won't work like this."

In the sixth episode, Howard also hoped that Chuck would continue to contribute to the law, but in just a few episodes, Chuck's constant situation and extreme words and deeds made Howard realize that he is now more of a burden.

Looking back, Howard received an envelope from Chuck. He thought it was a resignation letter, and asked employees to find a place to hold retirement parties. It turned out to be a complaint.

When he was negotiating with the insurance company before, Chuck made a mess of things that he had to talk about. Now, he just reminded him that he should retire. You still don't know enough about this partner.

Chuck pretended to use the stove to show that he was back to normal, while leaning on the old and selling the old, telling Howard that it was not so easy to let Lao Tzu go.

In fact, there is still a long buffer zone to go between negotiating and litigating, but Chuck decisively gave only two choices : let me continue to be a lawyer, or take my share of eight million dollars Give it all to me, but everyone knows that we can't afford the money right now.

Would you rather ruin everything than retire?

Now you know Chuck.

"Do you know how good I am? Think I'm your partner? Treat me as an enemy." Chuck proudly taught Howard a lesson. The latter wanted to talk about it, but Chuck stopped giving him a chance. : " What else is there to say? See you in court ."

For his own selfish interests, at all costs , Howard had nothing to say when he wanted to speak.

After he left, Chuck immediately turned off the blender. Obviously, he was a little reluctant to be so calm before... This also reminds us that those who are very cruel to themselves must be careful .

Jimmy and Erin

"Ask for money" has now become Jimmy's number one priority, and now he still has a sum of money confiscated outside, that is, the class action lawsuit against Sandpiper in the first two seasons, although Jimmy left after that, but as an early main member , Jimmy can still get a 20% share from HHM and Davis Main after the lawsuit is over .

So, Jimmy pretended to drop by to see the old acquaintance Irene, and filed a lawsuit casually, knowing that it was still a long time before the case was closed... Because of trusting Jimmy, Irene showed him the paper documents that should not have been shown to outsiders.

According to the normal class action process, the elderly do have to wait a long time so that they can get more settlement money and the two law firms can make more money.

The elderly Erin gave the full authority of the lawsuit to professionals. She didn't understand this. At this time, Jimmy reminded her of her "power": You are the representative of the class action, and you have the right to speak how the lawsuit is fought. The... reconciliation sooner, the sooner you get the money, the better? more time to enjoy.

How could the simple-minded Irene have so many ideas? In fact, even this lawsuit represented her in a daze. Before she finished speaking, she was called to do chair yoga by "little friends".

Whether it's pretending to make cat-face cookies to visit, or calling out all the old ladies' names as soon as the door opens, it's enough to prove that Jimmy is a thoughtful and memorable person -- but what's on his mind right now only money.

17.4 million, 33% mutual funds are 5.8 million, two achievements are 1.16 million... 1.16 million!

Therefore, for the huge sum of millions, Jimmy immediately cared about the progress of the lawsuit with great enthusiasm, and even went to HHM to find Howard with the cheek, saying "you play with your customers for your own interests ". Jimmy's words seem to be right. If the old men and women wait any longer, they will probably get more than a thousand dollars in compensation, but for the law firm, the longer the delay, the greater the benefits...

But what Jimmy said was not for them, but to get the money as soon as possible, even Howard saw it.

Howard compares Jimmy to a greedy Gollum (a trendy metaphor in 2003), and humiliates Jimmy like a beggar with a few dollars, showing how much he hates him when he is under great pressure.

" You'll get your money, you'll just have to wait. "

I suddenly understood why Jimmy had to go to the insurance company to find Chuck's troubles - making it even worse for HHM, who was already in trouble, so that they would relax the settlement period of the Sanda ferry lawsuit in order to get the commission as soon as possible.

Since you can still hold on, then I will put some pressure on you .

Jimmy made a chance encounter at the mall (crazy 8 is just a little easter egg) and set a trap for Irene: "Don't tell other people I gave you shoes, I don't want people to think I'm biased."

For the price of only a new pair of shoes (he could have returned other sizes afterwards), Jimmy started a sinister plan: he created the illusion that Erin was not short of money and was not in a hurry to reconcile. A seed of doubt was planted in my heart.

Jimmy, who originally refused to do yoga, then began to frequently eat, play billiards, and do yoga with his clients , telling them: " How much settlement money you get depends on Erin. After all, she is a class action representative, she must know what to do best. , I will definitely consider your mood... "

Originally, this group of well-fed elderly people didn't care much about how much money they got in the end, but as long as they thought Irene was special because of her special status, they could get more money privately.

Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness . As a result, the hateful old woman Irene who "selfishly used extra money to buy sneakers" was ostracized and isolated by everyone.

The foundation has been laid, and it is still a step away.

Next is Jimmy playing bingo with fake lottery balls. At this time , Irene, who can't even find a seat, is on the verge of collapse -first Paul won the lottery, everyone applauded and cheered; then Irene Winning the lottery, when she took the stage, the applause was sparse, but Jimmy thought the effect was not enough, and said, "Applause to our big winner, Erin Landry!"

In the cold field , there was only one unknown person applauding, and the inexplicable Irene suffered the most humiliation in public.

"Everyone is targeting me... They are indifferent, they don't speak in front of me, but whisper behind their back..." The heartbroken Irene expressed her distress to Jimmy who was pretending to be innocent, and Jimmy took advantage of the situation and led the reason to the "Reconciliation money" went up.

Irene said aggrievedly: "I didn't know they wanted money, and no one told me."

Who doesn't want more money, you didn't take their feelings into account - Jimmy said in the air of a close friend.

That's when Erin said something that broke my heart: " I hope there's no lawsuits in the first place, I just hope everything goes back to the way it used to be ."

This means that in Erin's heart, the friends who accompany her in her later years are far more important than money. Now this situation makes her willing to be deceived by the nursing home all the time... Ironically, Erin has no idea why she suddenly became In this way, she also turned her last resort to Jimmy, who had been deceiving herself.

-Should I reconcile?

- Erin, listen to your heart.

In this lawsuit, Jiyadu, who is going to lose a lot of money, naturally hopes to reconcile as soon as possible, because the two law firms and the clients have always disagreed - now, HHM has been suffocated by customers, insurance companies, and Chuck, and is stretched and needs urgently. Money, and the entrusting people also want to get the money as soon as possible, the remaining Davis Main is naturally unable to support...

So, who owns 20 percent of mutual funds now? it is me!

Jimmy McGill has once again tasted the thrill of intrigue and smuggling that brings huge profits, and he only cares about getting the money he deserves, going from a precarious homeless man to a millionaire - as for the possibility of destroying a law firm future, the old age that an old man should have enjoyed? I! none! Place! Say!

Kim and Jimmy

In the review of the last episode, my conjecture about why Kim suddenly won the commission for Gartwood Oil caused a lot of controversy : I think Kim was stimulated by Jimmy and did not want to be left behind before he increased his workload. Many people thought that He is more positive, thinking that Jin was moved by Jimmy, or he won the business and asked Jimmy to help him, so he could justifiably pay him a salary...

But I think no matter what the possibility is, after watching the ninth episode, it has become more and more inclined to my "dark theory".

For this extra business, Kim went to the border of Texas and New Mexico. After learning about the situation, he said that he could solve the dilemma of paying taxes on both sides of the boss: " There are only two weeks left? Can I do it before that? Get it done. "

Jin obviously had a brief hesitation before wrapping up the ticket, but she still gave a guarantee - you need to know that one person handles the business of Mesa Verde Bank, and has unlimited mental power to overdraft gold, and now she is "theoretically feasible" "On the basis of forcibly taking a commission...

The tight (dead) string of gold is about to break.

Watching her cart and car nearly crash into an oil well, and the exhaustion and haggard that ensues, we can see that she's not far from her bottom line.

I was busy, but Jimmy, who was supposed to be "lower" than himself, suddenly came out with a bottle of sapphire and said that he wanted to celebrate, because Jiyadu was going to reconcile - what? Class action lawsuits moving so fast?

Kim was completely shocked. She was not only shocked by the unreasonable progress of the lawsuit, but also because Jimmy suddenly got another huge sum of money... Needless to say, this must be the result of Jimmy's crooked brains and tricks.

Conscientious, diligent, and busy, but not as good as Jimmy's opportunistic ability to make a lot of money, Jin's sense of the gap can be imagined .

Facing the proud Jimmy, in order to escape the loss and excitement in his heart, Jin instinctively wanted to flee the scene , so he immediately left a sentence "happy for you" and ran away.

Jimmy, who was as dumb as a chicken, was also puzzled: Don't worry about money at all? What if the business is yellow? Shouldn't it be time to celebrate? What the hell are you thinking about?

Jimmy, who was poured cold water, had to let Francesca celebrate with him. But the interest in drinking has nothing to do with what kind of wine, only the beauty and mood. In the sixth episode, when the two celebrated, even cheap champagne could be enjoyed happily, and now even sapphire, Jimmy drinks tasteless.

Jin, who went out in a hurry, was still practicing his speech at the beginning, but he became silent and lost his mind... Then he crashed - three points were attributed to fatigued driving, and seven points were due to distractions.

While recognizing the importance of airbags, the helpless Kim also recognized other difficulties and confusions:

Gartwood Oil’s business is going to be lost, and his reputation will be damaged; his life creeds, such as “hard work, hard work, and hard work, get rich” and so on, are facing unprecedented impact and provocation by the man he loves. and trample .
