- Quotes
Mike Ehrmantraut: The lesson is, if you're gonna be a criminal, do your homework.
Price: Wait, I-I'm not a bad guy, I don...
Mike Ehrmantraut: I didn't say you're a bad guy, I said that you're a criminal.
Price: What's the difference?
Mike Ehrmantraut: I've known good criminals and bad cops, bad priests, honorable thieves-you can be on one side of the law or the other, but if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again, but you took something that wasn't yours and you sold it for a profit. You're now a criminal; good one, bad one-that's up to you.

Mike is also starting to show his "cool and composed" bad-boy side that always does his homework in advance.
This episode really manages to answer a lot of question and sets up for an interesting continuation. What is extra nice is that many of the situations and developments are not really forcing the show closer to the Breaking Bad-universe, which I think is great and essential for Better Call Saul that it strives to avoid so early on.
The only reason I cannot give this episode a 10 is details that have been a problem in some of the previous episodes as well. There is way to many and long scenes with more or less whispering characters and often combined with a dark setting it actually makes it hard to be able to follow the conversation and easy to slip your attention away. There is no need to make the scenes like that out of an artistic viewpoint, it's plain unnecessary and adds nothing but an ineffective way of telling the story often forcing me to rewind to get hold of "what did they just say?" or "what just happened?".
But other than that, this episode is top notch!
