The first season of the American television drama series Better Call Saul premiered on February 8, 2015. It consists of 10 episodes, each running approximately 47 minutes in length.
After the events of Breaking Bad, in a black and white scene, Gene Takavic, formerly known as "Saul Goodman", is working at a Cinnabon in Nebraska. He looks nervous, as if at any moment the police might catch him. When a man stares him down, he really starts to sweat only to soon realize the man is not affiliated with law enforcement. Gene then goes home, where he is alone, and watches one of his old "Better Call Saul" commercials as he starts tearing up.
Jumping back in time to 2002, public lawyer Jimmy McGill is working an absurd case of three college students having sex with a head. Because of this, he does not have a lot of money and gets ticked off when he is asked to pay a small parking fee. However, Jimmy catches a break when Craig Kettleman, a high profile treasurer, is accused of stealing 1.5 million dollars and goes to Jimmy for help. Meanwhile, Jimmy gets in an accident with two skaters (Lars and Cal) who he figures are trying to scam him. He tells them that they are messing with the wrong guy. After The Kettlemans decide on HHM, a law firm co-founded by Jimmy's brother Chuck and George M. Hamlin, over Jimmy to represent them, Jimmy offers the brothers a deal. Jimmy puts together an idea where one of the boys will get hit by Mrs. Kettleman's car and then he will come in to save the day. However, things do not go as planned and the boys end up ditching Jimmy and following the car involved in the hit and run. Instead of ending up at the Kettleman's house, the boys end with Tuco Salamanca and his grandmother. ("Uno")
Oblivious to the situation at hand, the twins continue to seek their money from Abuelita. Tuco takes this as an insult to his grandmother and beats the boys with a cane. Soon after, Jimmy shows up and explains to Tuco why he should keep him alive. Obviously impressed by his argumentative skills, Tuco takes Jimmy to the basement where the twins are tied up. Instead of killing them right then and there, Tuco takes them, and Jimmy, to the middle of the desert. Again, Jimmy tries to reason with Tuco and gets his and the two boys' death sentences reduced to a broken leg for each of the twins, telling Tuco that the punishment should fit the crime. When they are released, Jimmy drives the two boys to a local hospital. After a long night, and unable to focus because of the images of Tuco breaking the boys' legs, Jimmy crashes at Chuck's. The next day he goes to the courthouse and again is seen struggling to make money. ("Mijo")
In a flashback, Chuck helps Jimmy get out of jail for property damage, assault charges and potentially being labeled a sex offender. Chuck warns Jimmy to stop making a fool of himself. Fast-forward to the present day where Jimmy makes an anonymous call to the Kettlemans warning them of being robbed. The next day, after hearing about the Kettlemans gone missing, Jimmy goes over to their house to investigate. Nervous that Nacho is involved in all of this, Jimmy waits at a payphone for what seems like hours, for Nacho to call him. Eventually, he is chased down by who Jimmy thinks is Tuco but turn out to be cops. Jimmy is then brought to the courthouse to meet with Nacho. Nacho tells Jimmy that if he is not out of custody by the end of the day, Jimmy is a dead man. Then, after a talk with Mike Ehrmantraut and an investigation of the Kettleman residence, Jimmy realizes that the Kettlemans were not kidnapped, but rather ran away from home. Knowing this, Jimmy walks through the wilderness, finally finding the Kettlemans. ("Nacho")
Jimmy is seen in a flashback scamming a man with a fake Rolex watch. After finding the Kettlemans and their money, Jimmy is tempted to take a bribe to not tell anyone. It is later discovered that Jimmy took the bribe and he uses it to get his hair done and buy a new suit. Jimmy further uses the money to purchase a billboard and uses a logo very similar to that of HHM. Jimmy and Howard Hamlin meet with a judge who rules that the billboard be taken down. Not done yet, Jimmy hires a couple of film students to film him in front of the billboard, illustrating the HHM is big corporate law firm dominating the little guy. During the shooting, the man taking down the billboard falls and Jimmy goes to save him. Jimmy, who staged all of this, becomes a local hero. When Howard sees this, he immediately knows what Jimmy is doing. Jimmy then visits Chuck and tells him that he has been getting a lot more clients recently. However, Jimmy purposely does not bring in the local paper for Chuck to see. Suspicious, Chuck runs outside to retrieve the paper from a neighbor's house. ("Hero")
The cops arrive at Chuck's house after getting a call about a stolen newspaper. Chuck is tasered and taken to the hospital. Jimmy visits Ricky Sipes, one of his potential clients, where he is told by Ricky that he wants to secede from the United States. Jimmy's next client, Roland Jaycocks, has a talking toilet that he wants to sell. Finally, Jimmy goes to Geraldine Strauss's house where he is successful in getting a small amount of money from her. After a long night at the nail salon, Jimmy and Kim Wexler go to visit Chuck in the hospital and eventually Chuck is released. Mike, on the other hand, gets a visit from the police at his house. ("Alpine Shepherd Boy")
