Anyone else confused as to why his gun shot shoulder wound is still bleeding wayyyy after the event actually happened?
They said he left town the following week after his son died so that didn't surprise me.
I was kinda confused by the timing of the scenes. I'm assuming the train stop scene / backyard pushing kid in swing scene was weeks/months before he meets Jimmy/Saul. But the Philly cops don't talk to him until AFTER he meets Jimmy and has his matchbook?
I'm a bit confused on the timeline as well.
I assume that this occurred:
1. His Son dies
2. A week later he leaves for New Mexico
3. In the span of a week or so he meets Saul and has a few run-ins
4. Philly cops show up 2 weeks after his son dies, and a week or so after the dirty cops die
Current time. But it does seem strange that all of Sauls progression as a lawyer/interactions with Mike have happened within a weeks span.
I thought Mike left for NM the day after shooting the dirty cops and dropped the line to the bartender at closing that he was leaving the next day for NM to leave a trail explaining why he was leaving (ie not skipping town after a murder but as part of long-standing plan). I heard the timeline as Mike killed the cops 6 months after his son is killed. The DIL left during that 6 months for NM and Mike arrived the day after the shooting with the still bleeding wound. I thought the scene at night with the DIL was months later just prior to the Philly cops interview. I seem to remember the cops mentioning working the case of the dirty cops for several months prior to coming out to NM. I may of missed something but this timeline would work mesh with what we have seen, giving Mike at least a couple months or so to work at the parking lot.
yeah, that makes sense and about what I thought (although time between son killed and dirty cops killed I thought was shorter).
But for cops to wait months to talk to somebody about a killing doesn't seem realistic. Especially when the victims are cops.
Right.
I thought he had only been in NM for a week or so.
I get that the time between his son dying and the dirty cops dying could be months (likely is) but was he not still bleeding from his shoulder wound after the meeting with the detectives from philly? Which is well after he met Saul?
Would that not mean everything Saul has gone through thusfar has only taken a week or so of time? Doesn't seem right.
no
son is killed
wife moves to NM
weeks/months go by, Mike figures it out
plans to murder dirty cops
lets word go forth that he is following DIL to NM soon
picks date for murder
buys train ticket for next day
murders
gets on train next day (remember in interrogation he says "I think I was west of KC before I heard")
immediately meets DIL at train station and reconnects a little bit with her and granddaughter
that evening, deals with unhealed bullet wound that is 24-ish hours old
gets parking lot job
weeks or months go by, DIL contacts Philly police with her concerns
Philly police realize even though Mike was hammered that night and stumbling home, they should give a second look
Philly police arrive in NM, interrogate Mike
Mike confronts DIL about going to police instead of him, storms out of house
Realizes while sitting in car outside DIL's house that she needs to know truth
Goes back into house, same night, and gives the "I broke my boy" speech
