"Marco" is the tenth and final episode of the first season of Better Call Saul and the tenth episode of the series altogether.
Teaser
In 1992, shortly after Chuck helped secure his release from jail, Jimmy stops by a local bar to say farewell to Marco, his best friend and partner in crime. He tells Marco that he’s moving to Albuquerque to work in the mailroom at Chuck’s law firm. Marco bemoans Jimmy’s decision, arguing that the move is a waste of Slippin’ Jimmy’s talents – but Jimmy’s mind is made up, and he leaves.
Act I
In 2002, Jimmy pays Howard a visit to officially hand over the Sandpiper case to HHM. He also gives Howard a list detailing the errands that he’d been performing daily for Chuck. Howard is amazed at Jimmy’s dedication to his brother, and reminds Jimmy that he always had a soft spot for him. In the parking garage, Jimmy apologizes to Kim for lashing out at her when she advised him to take the deal. She gives him a hug, commending him on how maturely he’s handling the situation with Chuck. At the bingo hall, Jimmy calls numbers gives example words for the letters that are pulled. When a series of consecutive numbers all come up with the letter "b" and he mentions "brother", his composure starts to unravel from the pain of Chuck’s betrayal. He initially rants about the desert environment of New Mexico and then launches into a story about his attempt at a “Chicago Sunroof” - when his ex-wife’s lover stopped at an ice cream store in his BMW, a drunk Jimmy decided to defecate through the sunroof of the man's car, not realizing that his children were in the backseat. This led to trumped-up charges of indecent exposure, which Chuck had to fly to Cicero to clear. “I’ve been paying for it ever since,” Jimmy says before abruptly ending the game and storming out the hall.
Act II
Jimmy travels to Cicero and arrives at his hometown bar, where he finds Marco dozing. The two haven’t seen each other since Jimmy moved to Albuquerque, but Marco is thrilled to see him. Jimmy comments that he had been in town before for his mother's funeral two years earlier, but didn't have the time to check on his friend. Marco seems to be disappointed that Jimmy did not visit him. After some more conversation, they fall back into old patterns and scam an obnoxious businessman at the bar by concocting an elaborate story to sell him a “rare” half dollar coin for a very high price. Laughing and celebrating their reunion, Jimmy and Marco buy a round for other patrons.
•In this episode, there are several references to Breaking Bad:
•The scene where a woman finds out Jimmy isn't Kevin Costner. This is a reference to a dialogue in the episode "Abiquiú", where Saul brings up that he once convinced a woman he was Kevin Costner, in an attempt to persuade Walt that using a laser tag as money laundering makes sense because you can make any story work.
•At the bingo hall, Jimmy says "B, as in Belize… Beautiful place, so I've heard." This is a reference to a dialogue in the episode "Buried", where he suggests that Walt could "send Hank to Belize," a euphemism to kill Hank.
•Jimmy also mentions Georgia O'Keefe at the bingo hall. Jesse and Jane visit a Georgia O'Keefe museum in Breaking Bad.
•Marco mentions to Jimmy that he should be "driving around town in a white Caddy making bank" which is exactly the car he ends up driving in Breaking Bad.
•Marco's ring, which Jimmy obtains in this episode, is the ring he wears during Breaking Bad.
