Mike's Kim line in Better Call Saul is much bigger than it initially seems in the context of the season. Better Call Saul season 6, episode 4, «Hit And Run,» marks the first time Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) and Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) have come face to face with each other.

Though Mike and Kim had never met each other before Better Call Saul's «Hit And Run,» their worlds began to collide as Jimmy became further involved in the crime world. This comes to a head in Better Call Saul season 5, episode 9, «Bad Choice Road,» where Kim protects Jimmy from Lalo Salamanca, confirming Mike's earlier statement to Jimmy about her being "part of the game." That being said, Mike's line from «Hit and Run» seems to suggest that just because Kim is now part of a life that guarantees danger doesn't mean Mike intends to let that happen.

By saying this, it's clear that Mike understands Kim's full potential and may be working to guarantee that her life is spared from any real danger.
