For much of the series, the plot has been split in two: half Jimmy's exploits with the law (said Patrick Fabian, who plays Howard Hamlin, 'The show for me is about some lawyers with emotional problems') and half jack-of-all-trades Mike Ehrmantraut ( Jonathan Banks) taking odd jobs in Albuquerque's criminal underworld.
