Bad Choice Road
"Bad Choice Road" is the ninth and penultimate episode of the fifth season of the AMC crime drama television series Better Call Saul, a spin-off series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on April 13, 2020, on AMC in the United States. Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on streaming service Netflix in several countries.
Jimmy McGill and Mike Ehrmantraut arrive at a truck stop where Tyrus Kitt and Victor pick them up. Jimmy posts Lalo Salamanca's bail and Lalo is released. As Mike and Jimmy agreed, Jimmy tells Lalo his car broke down and he walked alone cross-country so he would not risk losing the money. Lalo tells Jimmy he plans to avoid prosecution by returning to Mexico, and mentions in passing that Kim came to see him.
Kim tends to Jimmy's sunburn and bruises and he tells her the same story he told Lalo. Kim realizes Jimmy is lying when she sees his bullet-pierced coffee mug.
Mike reports to Gus Fring, who realizes Juan Bolsa arranged the attack on Jimmy to protect Gus' business, not knowing it is Gus' plan to ensure Lalo is out of prison. Mike tells Gus that Nacho Varga wants to stop working as Gus' informant, but Gus refuses to release a valuable asset, especially one who he presumes is as untrustworthy as Nacho.
Jimmy ends a day of convalescence early to deal with a client. Kim tells him she knows he is lying and will be ready to listen when he decides to tell the truth. Kim quits Schweikart & Cokely, handing over the Mesa Verde account and keeping her pro bono clients. As she departs, she takes the tequila bottle stopper she previously kept as a souvenir.
Jimmy tells Mike he is experiencing post-traumatic stress. Mike tells Jimmy it will pass with time. When Jimmy questions the events that brought them to the desert, Mike says they both made choices, good and bad, and must live with the consequences.
Lalo says goodbye to Hector Salamanca and has Nacho bring him to the desert pickup site. Instead of waiting for the Cousins however, he decides to search for Jimmy's car. After finding it, he tells Nacho to drive back to Albuquerque.
At home, Jimmy and Kim argue about Kim quitting S&C, with Jimmy referring to her decision as a "bad choice road". Mike calls Jimmy to warn him of Lalo's imminent arrival and tells him to keep his cell phone on but hidden, listening in and training a sniper rifle on a nearby roof, as Lalo enters. In the apartment, Lalo intimidatingly makes Jimmy repeat the story of his desert walk numerous times, increasingly unnerving him, until he reveals he found Jimmy's car riddled with bullet holes. Kim then gives Lalo the excuse that passersby probably shot at the car for fun and berates him for not trusting Jimmy, especially when he was the only one he trusted to get the money. Seemingly satisfied, Lalo departs; he tells Nacho to drive to Mexico, but not the original pickup site.
