This article, I plan to write after watching S3E2 (friends who knew me earlier should know), as the male lead and male lead of the show, what is the relationship between Jimmy and Mike? Before, I simply thought it was a confidant, a partner, a long-term friendship, an alliance of interests, etc. Now it seems to be all, but not all...
Their relationship is complicated but pure . The only thing that is certain is that in the future, when we talk about how "Lawyer Suo" and "General Mai" are forged, no one can avoid each other. It can be said that these two people have achieved each other.
Going a little further, sometimes we will be surprised that in this drama called "The Lawyer", the gray branch of Mike to Gus is placed, in addition to completing the (Poison Master) story integrity and increasing viewing excitement, What else is important?
The more you chew on the history of these two people, the more you will feel a sense of enlightenment. It is no exaggeration to say that through Jimmy and Mike, the audience can see the direction of the future plot. Therefore, this article is the happiest I have been writing a lawyer drama review in the past three months. I hope you like it too.
do not know each other
The first impression of Jimmy and Mike as "partners" was not good.
When we first met, Jimmy was an unwilling young lawyer who had been fighting petty lawsuits all day and was overwhelmed by his defenders. Mike was the toll manager at the entrance and exit of the district court parking lot . Jimmy was missing a sticker and could not park for free. Mike insisted on charging $3 as required.
It's only a sticker, do you think so? Jimmy began to quarrel: "I spend all day in court saving lives and wounds..."
After talking a lot, Mike just replied indifferently: "Don't pretend, thank you for letting me rebuild my trust in the judicial system, but you can either pay now or go back and get another sticker ."
Jimmy said "You won" in a fit of rage, and at the same time felt helpless about Mike's compliance with the rules ...
During this period, the $1.6 million of the county finance bureau disappeared. Treasurer Craig Ketterman was the biggest suspect. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was responsible, but the Kettermans persisted. Dress innocently and plan to find a lawyer...
Jimmy has to deal with this wonderful couple, while constantly being tortured by all kinds of bullshit lawsuits- while still being "embarrassed" by Mike, the guard.
Jimmy's life is already bad enough, and he has been making "difficulties" for Mike because of the little things about stickers. His dissatisfaction and resentment can be imagined... To Mike, he has scolded all kinds of bad things, Mike can only Seeing and hearing is pure.
The transformation occurred when the Kelman family disappeared. After Jimmy received a call from Kim, he was in a hurry to leave. There was no time for nonsense, and Mike said calmly, "Okay, $9."
This time Jimmy took out the money happily - but not enough, only $5 on him...
Don't lie, I'm really in a hurry this time, can't you just charge $5 and let me go? ! Mike said, "I'm not forcing you, it's the rule."
Jimmy, who said that he was in a hurry to go back, flipped the switch while Mike was not paying attention : " Fuck you! Damn old man!" Then he drove away.
Mike watched Jimmy leave silently, without any mood swings, just a playful expression.
Afterwards, when Jimmy came to the entrance of the court again, he couldn't issue a ticket... He had to say to Mike, "I was the bastard that day. I will pay you back as much as I owe you. Let me go and pay you back with interest."
Mike didn't do his trick, he just said, " Go and park elsewhere ."
Jimmy's going crazy now--I'll stop the car here! What can you do to me? ! After saying that, I got out of the car, looking at the posture and wanting to start...
Dude, you picked the wrong one.
In Jimmy's eyes, Mike is the kind of old-fashioned stubborn, clinging to the rules, ignorant of flexibility, and impersonal. Again annoying .
The conflict between two people who don't like each other escalates this time, and Mike wants to take this opportunity to sue Jimmy.
Bury the hatchet
Jimmy is in big trouble now: Before the Kelman family disappeared, the client Nacho had appeared nearby, so he was arrested by the police as the first suspect, and Jimmy saw the scene and thought they were "playing and disappearing on their own. "Yes, it has nothing to do with Nacho, so he was treated by the police as a bad lawyer who turned black and white.
Now that Mike is going to sue himself again, it is undoubtedly worse - the two policemen seized this opportunity, hoping to let Mike pressure Jimmy to stop covering Nacho.
While talking, Jimmy and the police were arguing again, while Mike quietly listened to Jimmy's remarks about "kidnapping himself"-he suddenly discovered that the shrewd lawyer, who he had always looked down on, was actually quite wise. Yes, not as useless as it looks.
Suddenly, Mike changed his mind and didn't plan to sue Jimmy.
Intuition tells Mike that Jimmy's judgment on this case is right, and that it is not good for him to sue him because of his previous "prejudice".
Of course Jimmy was overjoyed, and he hurried to ask Mike, " Why did you let me go? ... I know why—because you believed me , the family kidnapped themselves."
Mike admits it - Jimmy is ecstatic: Finally someone believes me! why do you believe me?
After that, Jimmy learned that Mike was originally a policeman, and listened to him tell a similar case in the past, "It is qualitative thinking to abscond with money, but it is human instinct to go home , so it is necessary to disappear and hide from the public, Keitel. Man must be lurking near home, which is the root of man ."
Through this conversation, both Jimmy and Mike began to change their minds about each other . Jimmy then found the missing Kelman family and told them to hurry home - and took a sum of money as a hush money.
The next day, Jimmy went to the car to tell Mike about it, affirming his judgment.
" I thought the criminals were much smarter than they looked, but I really don't understand ." Faced with Jimmy's rather sharp summary, Mike didn't say anything - this time Jimmy couldn't help it again: Not much to say, buddy, Why are you so silent? Mike replied: You think everyone is as talkative as you are.
Although the words were not speculative, Jimmy still accepted the feeling and thanked him, and Mike bluntly said that he didn't care. Here comes the point: Jimmy said that if you want to help in the future, just ask him.
This is where Jimmy will be a human being, and even if Mike looks like he doesn't want to have anything to do with him again, he still tries to be as friendly as possible to keep in touch and willing to help.
After that, Jimmy seems to have started to transfer. When doing business, he accidentally found that the elderly like him very much - so Jimmy decided to specialize in old age law.
When leaving the parking lot at night, Jimmy not only got enough stickers, but also gave Mike his own business card, and said casually, "If you know any old man, remember to introduce me."
The two enemies who were like water and fire at the time have gradually become "friends" who can nod and say hello at this time (under Jimmy's thick skin).
Just taste it
Jimmy's troubles are gone for the time being, but Mike's troubles have come--Hoffman and Finsky died unexpectedly, and the police in their hometown of Philadelphia came to the door to inquire about the situation.
Considering factors such as time and motivation, Mike and the deaths of the two police officers are likely to be related, but Mike is not going to talk to his old colleagues, and directly asks for a lawyer .
Mike, who escaped to Albuquerque with a murder case, is a long time traveller. Where can there be a lawyer he knows? He thought about it at first, and handed over Jimmy's business card.
When Jimmy arrived with a cup of coffee as ordered, Mike didn't plan to tell Jimmy what was going on, but gave him the next plan: pour coffee on the young policeman, create a little accident, and that's it.
Dare to call me here is to do my own business, and my legal status is just a cover ? Of course Jimmy was unhappy about this, but no matter how he asked Mike, he didn't say anything until Jimmy exposed the other party's intention to steal the notepad, and Mike stated that the two wanted to "reciprocate with respect".
"Do you want to repay? This is what I will give you in return. I will be an honest, trustworthy and law-abiding lawyer... Use coffee to do bad things, no, I won't help you ."
If you don't tell me, I will find out for myself. Jimmy learned the story of what happened to Mike through the introduction of the police, and guessed that he might have something to hide .
The initial inquiry failed. After everyone got up, Jimmy suddenly poured coffee again as planned, and asked Mike to take the notepad ...
Afterwards, Mike looked at the notepad directly in front of Jimmy as a bachelor. Jimmy didn't want to know the real inside story of Mike's actions anymore. He just wanted to ask: "How did you know? I would do that just now. Did you know I was just pouring coffee?"
Mike laughed silently.
"What are you laughing at, what do you mean?"
Although Mike didn't say it clearly, I think he understood what kind of person Jimmy is from his daily words and deeds and flashing eyes. Some grey things are eager to try.
After helping people to the end, Jimmy asked himself to explain the matter, and insisted that the stealing was a return to the original owner.
Anyway, there is no real evidence. The angry young policeman could only scold and leave, but the old policeman stayed.
At this moment , Mike has determined that the Philadelphia police have no real evidence of his murder, they should withdraw, so he wants to chat with the old policeman he knows and send Jimmy away...
After Mike and the old policeman finished talking, Jimmy wanted to know the content of their conversation impatiently, not only worried that Mike said the wrong thing, but also worried that he would be implicated.
"It's also for myself, don't hurt me too... Cooperate with me, it's good for both of us ."
How could Mike not understand Jimmy's careful thought, and directly said that although you are at ease, you are safe.
It's time for this matter, " I don't need you to serve me anymore ."
It is not difficult to see that Mike has always calculated the relationship between him and Jimmy very clearly and is quite measured. As long as Jimmy helps him achieve his goals, he should not be allowed to know things, never let him know, why is it not for the two of them? All good things.
reciprocate
The Kettermans, who do not know whether to live or die, are still reluctant to plead guilty and strive for lenient punishment. They also abandoned Kim who thought for them without authorization, and turned to Jimmy who was determined to die... For Kim, Jimmy decided to take the bottom line : he took out the last time Bessie Kettleman asked Mike for help, and with just a little trick, Mike easily found the place where they hid the money.
"Thank you for not absconding with the money." After Jimmy finished speaking, he put his money back, and facing Mike's puzzled eyes, he just said, "This is the right thing to do."
Mike was helping this time, and Jimmy had the final say, so he asked, "Have we cleared it?" Jimmy responded: We cleared it.
Then Jimmy handed over the money, persuaded the couple to go back to find gold, honestly pleaded guilty, and became nothing again; Mike began to pick up the dirty work in private for the good life of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
After Chuck's confession, Mark's death, and other blows, Jimmy suddenly refused to go to the well-paid Davis Main law firm. When he left, he asked Mike: "$1.6 million, cash, no one knew we had this. We could split the money 50-50, we could have brought home $800,000 each without paying taxes...why didn't we do that? "
Mike looked indifferent, as if seeing everything and said: "I remember you said, do the right thing, do you want to know why I didn't take the money? For me personally, when someone hired me to work, I finished it, It's over ."
Keeping one's own footing is Mike's principle . I will do things for you according to your rules. I have no objection if you want to return to Zhao. If you want to share the spoils, I will take it, but I will never make a mess.
Jimmy has changed his mind: " I know what's holding me back, listen, it's not going to stop me anymore ."
Jimmy once wanted to be a good person, but once again he found that a good person is not rewarding, and it is better to be reckless... So now he doesn't want to be a hypocrite, but a real villain.
After that, Jimmy drove the old car proudly away, Mike still had a dead fish face of "whatever you want".
There is always trouble when you get into the water: Wormold, the "medicine mouse" that Mike escorted, changed to a swaggering gun truck to do illegal transactions, Mike stopped cooperating with him, and Wormold ran off alone with Nacho After that, of course, Nacho wouldn't trust the transaction anymore, so he secretly wrote down the address and ransacked his house... Warmold chose to call the police .
How can the police be so foolish, they began to suspect that he was doing illegal activities. When Warmold was at a loss, he accidentally saw Mike in the parking lot and confessed his stupid things.
Are you kidding me? Of course Mike didn't want to worry about the life and death of such pig teammates, but he had to leave it alone, and I'm afraid he would be implicated.
At any rate, Mike finally got Nacho and Wormold, and then came the police - he called Jimmy and said, "It's me, are your morals flexible enough? If so, I have a job. to you."
At this time, Jimmy joined Davis Main Law Firm for Kim, pinching his nose. Unsurprisingly, he was very bored, and because of his cooperation with HHM, Chuck was still embarrassed and disgusted himself in disguise.
Therefore, after receiving the call from Mike, Jimmy only asked when (when) and where (where), but did not ask who (who) what (what), did not even ask the reason (why).
Jimmy doesn't care what Mike asks him to do, he just wants to enjoy the victories of his tongue.
Then Jimmy showed up as Warmold's lawyer, and sent the idiot out to play with himself in a few words, and he started to fool the two policemen , telling them that Warmold actually made a special shame video (squatting while crying while sitting in a pie) ) hobby, and there is a market for videos...
Using one lie to cover up the truth of another lie , Jimmy managed to pique the police's interest and dissuade them from continuing to investigate.
It's just that Warmold had to make up a video of shameful play afterwards.
Anyway, I had a great time today ~ Jimmy took the extra pie back to eat with Jin, and chatted about it by the way, but Jin felt scared: "You are using forged evidence to exonerate the client."
This matter can be big or small. Jimmy thinks that Jin is a bullshit. Warmold is not a client of the law firm. This is not a case. It has nothing to do with work. He is just helping friends for free.
"You are helping at the risk of being disqualified as a lawyer. Who, you are really a good friend."
Jimmy also defended that no one would find out, and Kim pointedly pointed out: "You said exactly what the criminals said."
What are you drawing? For what?
Facing Jin's questioning, Jimmy did not speak, but simply agreed when she asked herself not to do it again.
In the days that followed, Jimmy continued to be unhappy, and Mike received a commission from Nacho to kill Gallery.
Falling flowers intentionally
Mike designed the gallery to beat himself up, and the result was to let him go to jail obediently.
When Jimmy came to the court, he saw Mike with a bruised nose and a swollen face, so he took the initiative to stop and ask what was going on - but how could Mike say.
In this regard, Jimmy is not unconvinced, he has long been used to Mike's style.
Interestingly, what he said when introducing Mike to the "nanny" little Irene: " This is my grandpa Mike ."
It can be seen that Jimmy is still very close to the old man Mike subconsciously.
Soon after, Mike, unable to withstand the threats to him (the family) from the Salamanga family, decides to accept Hector's rude demands. But since you want to revise the statement and don't sue Tutu, then you have to ask a lawyer for help - you have to open your eyes and talk nonsense, keep saying that the gun is not from Tutu, this requires a cheeky + three-inch tongue work, Only Jimmy, whoever it is.
Finally got over the official errand, and while waiting for the elevator, Jimmy quietly shook out his past with the gallery like a bamboo tube .
"You didn't do anything wrong. This man named Salamanga is a lunatic. I have dealt with him too. I understand your feelings..."
Mike was not interested in Jimmy's confession and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Don't be too harsh on yourself, being cautious is brave, and I'll do the same. I'll help you today, no charge." Jimmy obviously wanted to further close his relationship with Mike on the basis of helping, and find resonance and conspiracy. The set is close, so that the two are more than a simple cooperative relationship.
Mike refused again, told Jimmy to take the lower elevator, and told him to charge as usual.
In the face of Jimmy's almost flattering gestures, Mike is still "unappreciative". He doesn't want to owe Jimmy too much, and he doesn't want to have more extra connections with him. The relationship between the two can end.
Luo Hua intentionally follows the flowing water, and Liu Shui unintentionally loves Luo Hua... No wonder Jimmy wants to slander Mike as "ungrateful".
This is a matter of fact, Jimmy finally left Davis Maine Law Firm, Mike began to follow the Salamanga family, and also engaged in their drug delivery line.
be prepared
By the time the two contacted again, Jimmy had already opened the small law firm. Mike lost his clues after chasing the mysterious man's horse to the fried chicken shop, so he had no choice but to call Jimmy again.
Mike made Jimmy stare at the man in the backpack, but Jimmy kept asking what was in the bag : "Money? Drugs? Is it something else? I guess money..."
Mike didn't know what to say, so he asked Jimmy if he would do it - do it! All my curiosity was piqued by you!
Then, Jimmy meets "Fried Chicken" Gus one step ahead of Mike, and rummages through the trash with his little trick of dropping his watch.
Regardless of Jimmy's exaggerated stalking skills, this trip to the fried chicken shop, he really "found nothing".
But Jimmy was obviously not satisfied with this result. His appetite was completely whetted. After reporting to Mike, he jokingly fiddled with the tracker and asked, "What shall we do next?"
It is estimated that at this time in Mike's mind, thousands of alpacas have galloped past: How old are you? The impatient Lao Mai immediately issued an order to evict the guests.
I just encountered something fun, so you won't take me to play, boring! But Jimmy couldn't disobey Mike, so he had to get out of the car and leave - suddenly he turned back and said: I am your strong backing! Don't forget to throw a wink.
The tens of millions of alpacas that just ran past in Grandpa Old Mai's heart came back again... He could only respond and say, "I remember."
Mike is also helpless. On the one hand, he has asked Jimmy to help him three times in a row, and he is really soft-hearted; on the other hand, he really can't stand Jimmy's constant closeness to him, "I really don't want to be so familiar with you. what……"
What's interesting is the following plot: Jimmy learns about the trap set by Chuck, and then goes crazy; Mike gets into Gus's trap and has to be forced to have the first official meeting with the other party.
Mike's chance to "return the gift" came. Jin found and canceled the appointment to go to Chuck's house to repair the door. According to Jimmy's plan, Mike was asked to spy on the information. Jin was a little worried: "Is this person you are looking for?"
Jimmy said in a big way: Don't worry, they are masters of masters.
As a result, the door repairer, the big carpenter, the electric drill maniac, and the photographer Mike went to Chuck's house to make a lot of trouble .
When the two met in the restaurant, after seeing some of the photos taken by Mike, Jimmy boasted that the other party was a master in the field of candid photography.
After the delivery, the cooperation between the two should end here - Jimmy couldn't help but ask Mike more : "How is he (Chuck), he's quite an asshole, right? Let's be honest, and won't offend him. mine."
Jimmy is always eager to get more extra emotional support from Mike, and Mike still maintains his original attitude, look at Jimmy, and don't speak.
"That's it? Have nothing to say? You really can't gossip with someone like you."
Faced with Mike's attitude of "it's okay to do things, but to chat without talking", even though Jimmy has long been accustomed to it, he is still a little bit worried and helpless.
Mike opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't our cooperation over?"
Jimmy could only answer: "Yes, it's even."
However, after Mike gave the answer of "fixed" when answering Jimmy's question about whether the door was fixed...
Mike couldn't help but said one more sentence: "I repaired it very well, and finally repaired things again."
Even Mike himself didn't realize it, he opened his heart inadvertently and said an extra irrelevant confidant - Jimmy of course didn't realize it , just joking "I have a leaky toilet in my office. Repair or not."
Before leaving, Jimmy still left Mike with his contact information, and he didn't want the relationship between the two to stop at "evening" .
In the meticulous plan to bring down Chuck at the hearing, Mike's contribution went beyond taking pictures to find contact information to attract Rebecca. He also recommended an all-purpose veterinarian for Jimmy, who was struggling to find the "thief" .
Jimmy, who caught the life-saving straw, brought a goldfish to the veterinarian for help. Before starting the conversation, the veterinarian also mentioned the "friend" Mike, whom the two agreed upon.
During this period, Mike received an olive branch from Gus and did not refuse it; Jimmy gathered some important cards such as Shure and Rebecca, and defeated Chuck at the hearing.
postscript
It is a pity that after S3E5, there is no interactive plot between Jimmy and Mike, and Mike did not appear in the finale. Both of them developed in their own story lines.
But looking at the stories of the three seasons, everyone can know a little about the rules and context : every time the two people interact, the plot will have a major turning point or advancement. So far, Jimmy has helped Mike four times, and Mike has helped Jimmy three times—
Every time Mike gets help from Jimmy, he will get rid of a certain predicament he is facing, and then under its influence, he will continue to sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of crime by accident (after getting rid of the crime, he will start to take over private work and get it done). Warmold later accepted Nacho's commission, refused to accept the threat of Selamanga and retaliates, and officially met Uncle Fried Chicken);
Every time Jimmy gets help from Mike, he will solve a big problem at that time, and through this solution, step by step, he will inspire the "Merry Jimmy" who will do anything and recognize himself (finding the missing family alone, accepting bribes, directly taking Jimmy) Giving away money to force couples into submission, using stealing and playing cards to slander Chuck).
What's more worth mentioning is that from the level of the protagonist Jimmy, in so many things he and Mike have experienced together, he has realized Mike's power, sent the Philadelphia police and local police (many times), and forged evidence to help criminals. Getting off the crime, getting to know Nacho and Tutu, getting to know Uncle Fried Chicken and the veterinarian... It's a lively "How Saul Goodman Raised" drama!
Now let's take a look at this "Big Three" publicity photo of the third season of lawyers, I believe everyone will have a deeper understanding and experience.
Although Mike always wanted to keep a distance from a smooth person like Jimmy, the reality always made him have to ask him for help again and again, and gradually fell...
No story line is independent, and the crime branch dominated by Mike, Gus, Hector, Nacho and others is definitely not just set up to make the story more complete, exciting and beautiful - no matter how it develops later , everyone and everything will eventually work on Jimmy. As the protagonist of this play, Jimmy has to go through a lot of hardships and experiences to complete the transformation to Sol, especially in terms of "business ability". Is he still far from the almost omnipotent Sol in the Poison Master? There is a small gap, so the intersection of Jimmy and the criminal branches of Mike, Gus and others is also particularly important.
Look forward to the next interactive story of Jimmy and Mike, the happy friends, see you in the fourth season!
Enjoy! The third season of "Desperate Lawyer" is over!
Following the finale of the third season of BCS last week, opllx's commentary on Lawyer S3 has officially come to an end!
