7:45Now PlayingJimmy picks up the phone to call FBI Director Kash Patel and ask why he hasn't been seen at any press conferences or high-profile cases this summer. Patel says he's been "working like a dog" but admits he "slept in" until 3 p.m., and says higher-ups decided actual law enforcement work should be handled by agents with legal backgrounds, leaving him to focus on "higher level stuff."
Patel mentions investigating a meth ring in New Mexico after rewatching Breaking Bad, and also offers his services—for a "small fee"—to help Jimmy with personal disputes like property line issues or fence disagreements, which he says is a "side thing" outside the DOJ.
