"Mijo" is the second episode of the first season of ''Better Call Saul'', the spinoff series of ''Breaking Bad''. The episode aired on February 9, 2015, one day after the series premiere. The episode was written by series creator Peter Gould, and was directed by Michelle MacLaren. The title refers to the Spanish term of endearment ''mijo'' (:ˈmi.xo), a contraction of ''mi hijo'' ("my son"). ==Plot== While Tuco Salamanca is preparing salsa in his kitchen, his grandmother returns home followed by Cal and Lars. The twins, irate, begin to adamantly state the seriousness of the injury caused by the grandmother's hit and run. They begin to argue loudly and insult Tuco's grandmother, which agitates him. After sending her upstairs, Tuco reaches for a cane and violently beats the twins unconscious. After arranging for his henchmen, Ignacio "Nacho" Varga, No-Doze and Gonzo to pick up the twins with their van, Tuco answers his front door with a gun, dragging Jimmy McGill inside. Under interrogation, Jimmy insists that he did not target Tuco's grandmother. He attempts to barter with Tuco to save himself and the twins. Just as Tuco agrees to free them, one of the brothers immediately outs Jimmy's role in the scam. Enraged, Tuco takes Jimmy, bound and gagged with duct tape, to the desert to question him further. When Tuco threatens to sever Jimmy's fingers with pruning shears, Jimmy desperately tries to claim that he is an FBI agent. When Nacho threatens him, Jimmy admits that he is a lawyer who intended to scam the Kettlemans. Tuco frees Jimmy, but moves to kill Cal and Lars in revenge for insulting his grandmother. Jimmy manages to convince Tuco to spare their lives, and talks him into merely breaking one leg on each of the brothers to make an example of them. After dropping off Cal and Lars at the hospital, Jimmy goes on a date with a woman in a bar. Jimmy, traumatized from witnessing Tuco's maiming of the twins, is distracted by a customer snapping breadsticks. Jimmy excuses himself and vomits in the bathroom. After an intoxicated Jimmy arrives at Chuck's house and collapses on his couch, Chuck - who claims to suffer from extreme electromagnetic hypersensitivity - throws Jimmy's cell phone into the yard. The following morning, Chuck confronts Jimmy after seeing the brothers' hospital bills. Jimmy reassures Chuck that he isn't going back to being "Slippin' Jimmy" - in other words, he is not scamming people on this occasion. After several days in court, Jimmy returns to his office and sees that he still has no messages. However, one of the beauty salon employees tells him that a client has arrived. The client turns out to be Nacho, who tells Jimmy that he wants to take the $1.6 million stolen by the Kettlemans in exchange for a finder's fee. Jimmy insists that he is a lawyer, not a criminal. Nacho disregards this, and writes his number on one of Jimmy's matchbooks. He reminds Jimmy that if he tells anyone about their conversation, he will be killed. Nacho exits the nail salon as the episode ends. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mijo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
