Jimmy gets ambushed, shot at, saved by Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), stranded in the desert and forced to drink his own pee — all in one episode. Luckily, Jimmy and Mike make it back to civilization, and Jimmy and Kim are able to convince Lalo that everything is fine, despite Jimmy's dehydrated desert adventure.
All but one are killed and their vehicles are disabled. The surviving gunman escapes in the only drivable truck. The unseen shooter was Mike Ehrmantraut, who was tracking Jimmy for Gus Fring.
It isn't a stretch to say Lalo ordered the hit on Jimmy. There wasn't anything random about the attack; in the moment, it felt like a coordinated assault, with Jimmy's aggressors knowing exactly where he'd be on the road with the money.
She's undaunted. The woman has range. She even knows what kind of soaking bath cures a guy desiccated in the desert. So, Juan Bolsa was behind the attempted hijacking of Lalo's $7 million in bail cash.

As he finds himself on the other side of the law, he develops a new persona: the criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.

It is displayed in his name change: his birth name of Jimmy McGill, which ties him to the legacy of his brother, or Saul Goodman, the expert con artist and money grabber. He was best when he was bad. Desire, or passion, is not as simple as a dualistic split between good and evil.
The final season of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul brought about the highly anticipated return of Breaking Bad's iconic, beloved duo, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).
Given that urine is excreted wastes and very salty, no one would suggest drinking in a desert environment, especially not someone who is knowledgeable. Mike is even shown to put up a condensation trap. He would just pour the urine in there and distill water from it that way.

In fact, Monday's episode begins with a kidnapped Saul Goodman pleading for mercy in the back of Walt and Jesse's meth lab RV. We even hear him saying, “It wasn't me! It was Ignacio! He's the one!” just before the opening credits roll.
Lalo didn't trust Ignacio or any of his subordinates enough to pick up that much money and the Salamanca cousins couldn't bail him out. Lalo knew Jimmy/Saul wouldn't steal the money and agreed to pay him to do it.
The overriding intention behind Mike's Better Call Saul safe-swapping trick was to ensure Nacho's death without casting suspicion over Gus Fring.
Chuck predicts Jimmy will break into his house to destroy the tape, enabling him to have Jimmy arrested.

Gus (or one of his men) called Hank in order to give him a chance to defend himself. This was Gus' way of almost sticking it to the cartel without being too obvious.
And this cab driver named Jeff [Don Harvey] — whose eyes we saw in the season 4 premiere when he was driving the cab that Jimmy was in — he seems menacing, more than a crazed fan.
Mike needs quick cash to support his widowed daughter-in-law Stacey (Kerry Condon) and her child, Kaylee (Faith Healey). That's why he provides the muscle when a novice criminal calling himself Price (Mark Proksch) sells prescription drugs to gangsters.
