Mike Becomes A Security Consultant | Smoke | Better Call Saul

I'm the H&S guy at work, and the opening scene is a moment out of my daily life. "Where are your gloves? Where is your PPE? Why are you standing in the middle of the lane? Do you not see the forklifts?"

Was Ramirez meat from Porky's

Hi-vis vest and confidence really are the plot armor.

This was like a vacation for him.

Great casting on the manager. I hate him immidiately.

The only person OSHA Fears.

....thanks dude, very much😊....
I just wasn't going to take the shirt....

Mike was smart. He made himself memorable so in case anyone went asking questions his "Job" at Madrigal there wouldnt be any shortage of people to remember him and confirm he did indeed work there.

I would only want a job like this because of the golf cart driving

methamphetamine empire be damned, mike cares about PPE

Professional.

"With a hi-vis jacket and a clip board you can get in almost anywhere. "

"well almost any. "




Name the movie.

I only want to watch Jonathan Banks straighten out businesses and Tony Dalton dating middle aged women.

this feels like a GTA mission lmao

i love how Mike is naturally so observant, he does this job so god damn well.

This is the exact moment when Mike becomes a security consultant

He discovered an interesting way to launder money. Give it to an employer but then show up for work and do the job for free. In other words what's called a "job"

Mike actually earned his paycheck. It's not just his good heart. He doesn't want to leave any ambiguity if anyone recognizes him.

Its great that Mike gave them a chance at catching him. He read Ramirez's tag and he did not read his in return. He returned the tag to the original owner, but was not called out for having neither an employee or temp access card. So by the time he sees their boss, the only person perceptive enough to ask for his credentials, he does not say the employees were alert.

When I popped your little buddy 😂

Its a shame this scene did not exist in BB when Mike was being investigated by Hank. I would love a scene where Hank suspects the money launching and questions the employees, only to find that Mike did actual work and was a huge pain in the ...

Physical pen test lol

Mike's not actually just mucking around here. He's seeding witnesses. If Madrigal ever does get audited, or he gets investigated, there will be witnesses to say "Hey, yeah, I remember that guys, he's that really scaring security consultant." Gives him plausible deniability if he's suspected for money laundering.

mike does his legal job

"I need to talk to your manager"
Mike "Karen" Eurmantraut

Im catching some strong Karen vibes here.

Bald man vs. Bald man. The essence of the BrBa Universe.

I need Mike, to come to my workplace.🤓

never underestimate how low perception/awarness of people is when they are not already alerted or expecting or know about a thing going down...i have a friend who managed to cassually walk in into backstages of concerts multiple times by simply wearing a worker`s west like that with printed out id on a simple peace of paper and random proffesion name on it...after that you just cassually do things ,let people speak first and just agree with whatever stuff they say...

If Mike made an honest living off of this he could’ve gone far and even supported his granddaughter better than compared to how he turned out in the end of Breaking Bad.

This was literally Mike's SAY MY NAME

Bruh no way i got a lifting belt ad under this video, ehrmantraut commercials lol

To be fair, having Mike as your boss would both be terrifying and exciting

boss

My coworker is a 83 year old Vietnam vet and ex sheriff. Dudes literally just like this hahaha

This is the moment Mike became a Karen.

I love that they’re like “Mike it’s not necessary you do this job we just needed you on the books so it looks less suspicious when we pay you” and he’s like “no no I’m gonna do the job and damn it I’m gonna do it well”

Mike could actually do that job, get paid a decent salary, save the money for his granddaughter. What a god damn idiot.

Do security consultants also do safety checks?
I get loss prevention as part of security but wouldn’t health and safety be more HR related?

Always loved how Mike can do a lot of what Jimmy does, using his experience as a cop without any training whatsoever as a conman. Jimmy would’ve had to do a whole song and dance to get through the front door of this place. All Mike had to do was walk in and act like he belonged.

"On the double..."

This series was something else. One of the last great series from the golden age of TV.

That forklift guy was speeding 😅

Could have killed someone

Rules. Consequences.

"I liked it. I was good at it. And, I was really... I was alive."

Mike is so petty, i love it.
