What happens

16:35–20:59

Saul and Jesse visit a nail spa that, Saul proposes that Jesse purchase to serve as a front for his money laundering. Jesse, unenthused with the idea of spending tens of thousands of dollars to purchase the spa just so he can pay taxes, ends the conversation after Saul reminds him of the standard 17% laundering fee, declining to extend Walt's bargained 5% fee to him.
