Heck if I know. 
Beaches.
Turning to the dark side? They already showed that he was on the wrong side of the law for at least the end of his career and probably the majority of his career. He was a dirty cop and then murdered two cops. Granted, the cops he murdered were also dirty and murderers, but claiming he is just now turning to the dark side is not correct. What he did for Jimmy is arguably much less dark than being a dirty cop and a murderer.
Okay, you could argue he killed the cops in self defense, but his whole intention of the interaction that night was to kill them whether or not they tried to kill him.
One could argue that he gave them the non working gun so that he could be sure they intended to kill him, but he was already “dirty”.
There were a thousand ways he could have kept the money but his goal was to save his friend’s job and the only way to do that was if every penny was returned, thus his sacrifice.
ETA: I think the plan was the Father would think one of his kids found the money and was playing with it.
If you are talking about last week’s episode, that was part of the flashback. He broke in to hide a gun. That was how he was able to shoot them after they searched him.
I just watched the episode, it was another good one. I read somewhere that the Kettlemans were just supposed to be in the pilot but the writers liked them and figured out a way to keep them on for some more episodes.
It will be interesting to see what goes on with Chuck. I wonder if his goal is to go back to working at HHM, and if he tried if they would truly let him back, or if he’d be seen as a liability. It’s nice to see him trying to improve, though I’m guessing there will be a major setback.
I’m sure Jimmy could have figured out a clever way to keep the money. But it wouldn’t be easy, and Mrs. Kettleman would not have quietly let him keep any money without taking him down with her. Even if he isn’t arrested or charged or anything, it’s not the type of publicity that Jimmy would be wanting for his burgeoning elder law career.
Also, he is still mostly trying to do the right thing. It is interesting to see the moral conflicts for him. I wonder if there will be some big event that changes his moral definitions, or just tiny little slips down the slippery slope.
She’s great. My favorite part was this part at the diner: “If there were any money, there would have to be a full accounting of it. Every penny of it,” “That includes the $30,000 that—” “Craig, he gets it.”
There’s no way that the Kettleman’s would let the money be returned and cover for Jimmy keeping some of it. No way at all. Even if it was in their best interest. Not the money that they worked so hard to “earn.” Mrs. Kettleman said she was going to call the cops on Jimmy for taking their money, and seemed sincere about it.
That sounds plausible. Jimmy helped him out with the Philadelphia cops, and I’m guessing Mike doesn’t like to be in debt to people, and offered to do this and they’d be square.
I don’t think that Mrs. K is the big mastermind that some people seem to think she is. Out of her family, she’s the mastermind, but she’s still not a criminal genius. She seems to have some good short-term plans, but not always thinking out the long-term consequences. Like the “camping trip,” what do you think their long-term plans were for that? That they’d somehow be able to leave the country with their money and not come up on any radars? Even if she is living a double life and has shady connections that can get them fake IDs and get them new lives, she has her two kids with her, do you think they’d never slip up and say their real names to someone? And it took Saul several hours to find them, but it was less than one day. If he hadn’t found them, it seems like someone else would stumble upon them eventually.
Also, she threatened to call the cops on Jimmy for taking their money and didn’t seem to realize how absurd that was.
It is possible that she’s a criminal mastermind who had everything all set up perfectly until Jimmy foiled her plans. But it seems more likely that it’s just like Jimmy and Kim think, and that Mrs. K is not as smart as she thinks she is and has been living in Cloud Cuckoo-Land.
This is very true, for most of Breaking Bad, there was no reason for anyone to be investigating Walt’s finances, because for all anyone knew he was a high school chemistry teacher. That’s how he got away with it for so long. If he was under investigation from the start like the Kettlemans are, Breaking Bad would have been a much different show.
I wish people would stop talking about us this way. I have not embezzled any money, nor have I been accused of such. My wife certainly would never go along with it, let alone try to be the mastermind.
What?
That’s what you’d like us to think. :dubious:
Mrs Kettleman’s so freaking hot.
Mike breaking into the police car and Mike swiping (and through Jimmy, returning) the notebook were months apart.
