Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on the streaming service Netflix in several countries.
The episode shows three moments in the life of former Philadelphia police officer Mike Ehrmantraut (Johnathan Banks), who moved to Albuquerque to become a ticket clerk. In the cold open, Mike is shown at a train station in Albuquerque, where he meets his daughter-in-law Stacey (Kerry Condon). In the present, Philadelphia police have come to Albuquerque to interview Mike regarding the murders of police officers Jack Fensky and Troy Hoffman in 2001. Later, Mike tells Stacey what happened to the officers and her husband, Matt, which is shown as a flashback to 2001.
