"Nacho" is the third episode of the first season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on February 16, 2015 and lasted 45 minutes and 12 seconds, on AMC in the United States. Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on streaming service Netflix in several countries.
In the episode, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) is worried about cartel member Nacho Varga (Michael Mando)'s plan to steal more than a million dollars from the house of Bernalillo County treasurer, Craig Kettleman (Jeremy Shamos). The next day, the Kettleman family is missing, and the police arrest Nacho on suspicion of kidnapping them. Jimmy, working as Nacho's lawyer, is threatened to find the Kettlemans by the end of the day, or else the cartel will kill him. Jimmy gets into a fight with the county courthouse's ticket clerk, Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks). Mike agrees with police to press charges against Jimmy, but eventually rescinds, giving Jimmy advice that the Kettlemans are likely in the vicinity of their home.
