1. Look Who's Back

Adolf Hitler is brought back from the dead to the modern day, and visits a neo-Nazi lodge for the National Democratic Party.

When he meets their chairman, Ulf Birne, Hitler mocks him for calling themselves "National Democrats" instead of "National Socialists" and bitingly asks if they've read his book.

2. The Fugitive

Gerard starts critiquing their sloppy evidence collection and lack of urgency. He then uncovers evidence that Kimble had escaped, forcing the injured officer to recant. Gerard then takes over the investigation from the sheriff, saying,

"All right, listen up, ladies and gentlemen, our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him."

3. Better Call Saul

To reinforce his money laundering scheme, Mike Ehrmantraut starts a security audit on a Madrigal warehouse. He steals a badge from an employee, uses it to enter the premises, and commandeers a vehicle. He reminds workers to use their lift belts, returns the stolen badge to the employee, and reports a whole list of findings to the manager.

Mike: "I waltz through security with someone else's ID. Nobody gives me a second look. When the rightful owner shows up, there's no facility-wide badge check. I find access doors left unlocked or propped open, passwords written on Post-it notes. Warehouse workers are using pen and paper instead of electronic inventory devices, which leaves you wide open to pilfering. You got duplicate routing numbers on cargo, surveillance camera blind spots on the north and the east side of the floor, inventory documents that are going into the trash instead of being shredded, not to mention loading equipment being driven at unsafe speeds and crews disregarding safe..."

Madrigal manager: "Wait. Wait. Hold on. Hold on. Who are you, exactly?"

Mike: "Ehrmantraut. Security consultant."

Madrigal manager: "Well, all due respect, I don't know anything about a security consultant."

Mike: "Well, you wouldn't, would you? Maybe you'd best call corporate. Try Lydia Rodarte-Quayle."

To the manager's credit, at least he eventually questions Mike's credentials.
