Highlights of the Better Call Saul Insider Podcast, Ep. 106 “Five-O”
Guests this episode are Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, writer Gordon Smith and Jonathan Banks.
● Even if you don’t listen to the whole podcast, the first 20 seconds are worth catching for Jonathan Banks’s fantastic 50s disc jockey impression.
● Vince Gilligan has a message for fans: DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE to the people who live in the Walter White house in Albuquerque. (Apparently people have been trespassing, throwing pizzas on the roof, etc.) Jonathan Banks “will hunt you down.”
● This episode was originally broken as episode 105, but the writers felt they needed to spend more time with Jimmy to set up his scenes as Mike’s lawyer, particularly his decision to spill the coffee.
● Kaylee’s mom was played by a different actress in her brief, distant appearance on Breaking Bad than on Better Call Saul, where she is played by Kerry Condon.
● Jonathan Banks’s youngest two children (twins) both work on Better Call Saul. The daughter helped translate Tuco’s grandmother’s dialogue into Spanish.
● Mike’s arrival in Albuquerque by train was inspired by the 1955 film Bad Day at Black Rock.
● The episode was plagued by weather problems, primarily lightning. There are a lot of detailed safety rules about lightning, such as that if it strikes within six miles (according to the special meter they have to detect it), set is shut down for 30 minutes.
● Mike saying “God damn you” to his daughter-in-law wasn’t in the script – Jonathan Banks slipped that in on his own. Mike stepping on Fenksi’s heel as he tries to crawl away was also a Banks personal touch. And at the end, the script said “I broke my son,” but Banks changed it to “I broke my boy.”
● Editor Kelley Dixon rearranged some of the words in Mike’s final monologue (in the portion heard as a voice-over as he sits in the car).
● Gordon Smith: “If [Mike’s daughter-in-law] turned him in, he’d [accept it].”
● Banks: “Mike’s life does not mean that much to Mike, but his care for those he loves is [his] overwhelming reason to live.”
