Better Call Saul · Season 1, Episode 15

Judge Chapak, Jimmy and others in “Unfinished Business”

JCJudge Chapak

Your witness, Mr. Goodman?

Thank you for coming in today, Mr. Harkness. I just wanna clarify a few things from your testimony if that's okay.

HHarkness

Okay.

So, you were working at the Sandia Mart the night of the 30th. Is that correct?

HHarkness

Got in at noon, left at midnight.

That's a long day. Good for you. Nothing wrong with a hard day's work. So, you say a man came in, and he reached across the counter, and quote, "He grabbed up the money from my register, and run off."

HHarkness

Yeah.

And there was no one else in the store?

HHarkness

Not at that time, no.

And since the camera system wasn't working at the time, you're the only one who saw the perpetrator.

HHarkness

Yeah, I guess so.

[pause; looks at Kim briefly] Yeah. So, this person came in, and bought something.

HHarkness

I think it was an Almond Joy.

Bought an Almond Joy, and when you rang them up, that's when they snatched the cash from the register. Sounds like it happened pretty fast, but you say you got a good look at him. Correct?

HHarkness

Yes.

You must drink stronger coffee than I do, 'cause after eleven hours on the job, I can barely see straight. [to the jury] And it was dark out!

HHarkness

Well, he's the only guy that came in that night. It wasn't made up like a... bat or a cat or whatever the hell those guys are. And he was right up in my face.

Right in your face. And according to your testimony, you feel confident that you can identify this person. That's what you're saying.

HHarkness

I can. Absolutely. [points at defendant offscreen] It's him. Your client.

Are you sure that's the person? There's no doubt in your mind? Take your time!

HHarkness

I don't need time. That's him!

Now would you be surprised to learn, Mr. Harkness, that the person you just pointed to is not the defendant?

HHarkness

W... What?

My client is in the back of the courtroom. Mr. Sakey, would you please stand up?

[A bearded man resembling Jimmy's "defendant" stands up]

LLawler

Objection!

The person you ID'd is named Hollis Early. He's a bartender down in Belen. He has a very good alibi for the night in question.

LLawler

Your Honor, objection!

JCJudge Chapak

Oh, Mr. Goodman! Really?!

You didn't recognize him either, Your Honor.
