10 Better Call Saul Moments That Broke TV

10. Tuco And The Twins

You know a show is going to do some crazy things when it starts off with an attorney negotiating with a psychopathic drug addict to break his clients' legs instead of chopping them up into little pieces!

The ending of "Mijo", the second episode of the show, is brutal and visceral. It shows Jimmy in quite a pickle as he is kidnapped along with his new clients, two conning twins named Calvin and Lars, because the brothers messed with the wrong grandma. It turns out the sweet old lady they were trying to rip off had a not-so-sweet grandson, namely the vicious cartel boss, Tuco Salamanca.

Tuco brings Jimmy and the twins to the desert, so he can serve the grandma-scammers his own sick idea of justice. As he is thinking of increasingly more violent ways to dispose of the twins, Jimmy has to step in and use his negotiation skills to save their lives.

After a stressful and exhausting discussion with Tuco, Jimmy manages to convince the cartel boss to ONLY break the twins' legs, and the cacophony of screams that ensues is something that won't just keep poor Jimmy up at night...

The brutality of the scene aside, the ending of "Mijo" also sets the overall tone of the show rather well. The silly antics of the twins were reminiscent of Jimmy's scams throughout the series, while their "just" punishment delivered by Tuco's legs was a swift and harrowing reminder that no bad deed can go unpunished...
