The 30-second clip opens with a shot of Breaking Bad’s favorite source of comic relief, shady attorney Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). Then known as Jimmy McGill, the lawyer is shown in a conference room, screaming at those before him.

“You! Will! Atone!” he shouts, making violent hand gestures as he speaks. The businessman he is addressing responds simply, “What can we do for you, Jimmy?”

The preview then introduces veteran star Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap, Planes, Trains & Automobiles), who plays Saul/Jimmy’s brother, Chuck McGill. He is shown lecturing his brother on his priorities, telling him, “Money is beside the point.” 

The title character’s life soon gets complicated as he spits back, “Money is the point!” and is depicted having encounters with questionable associates.
