Obviously, Season 6 got broken up into two parts. That just felt like a fun surprise to have in this episode. Jimmy knew that that was going to be in the cards, so they came up with this idea of changing the phone number in the system. One of the things we talked a lot about is “When do we reveal the fact that Jimmy placed this private investigator into Howard’s circle?” We had seen back in Season 3, Chuck had a private investigator ready for him when when Jimmy bursts through his door. It’s more following through what the previous episodes have been meticulously putting in motion.
“Better Call Saul” Greg Lewis/ AMC/Sony Pictures TelevisionĪside from the reveal of Jimmy’s man on the inside at HHM, most of this episode isn’t really built on surprises. But he doesn’t know this guy, and just for simplicity’s sake and putting the fear of God into Jimmy and Kim, he just shoots him in the head.
It could have extended out and Lalo could have tortured Howard. It just so happened that it felt like it was the time for the two different worlds to come together, the cartel world and the scam world, to meet head on and for something really, really horrible to happen. So that was just stealing from our past of the successful scams. I heard that I was like, wow, that’s really insane. I remember in the writers room, Sam Catlin, a writer for that show, said, “Well, what if a kid gets shot?” He just threw that out from somewhere in his brain, talking with George Mastras on one side of the table. And much like in “Breaking Bad” when we did the train robbery episode, we knew Walt and Jesse were going to be successful in stealing this methylamine. But that wouldn’t be satisfying storytelling for them to win and walk away from it. Tom Schnauz: We knew that Jimmy and Kim’s plan was going to be successful. How did you make sure you didn’t tip too far in either direction on any of the different sides here? IndieWire: This episode is a real balancing act of success and failure. Schnauz spoke with IndieWire about fulfilling the promise of “D-Day,” character intelligence, and what it took to get the final showdown’s big signifier just right.
That little bit of destiny brought Schnauz back to another bone-chilling ending sequence, but the episode itself is far more than the death in the closing seconds that gives the title its double meaning. We ended up breaking the whole season, and then going to shoot just because of all the delays that we had,” Schnauz said. Normally, we start shooting right around Episode 7, 8, 9. Because I do most of the index card writing in the room, instead of going away and being on set early in the season, which was going to happen before COVID and the shutdown.
