Exactly what i thought lol technically he didnt get all the money but thats sort of what the ending is about walt realizing how selfish he was and 10 million is way over what he really needed
Walt had already taken care of his family money and that ending was just revenge on Jack and getting Jesse out. After all that, there was no plan for what came next
@@rascallyrabbit8548 Except, according to Vince, he legitimately thought Jessie was working with Jack. He doesn't decide to save Jessie until he actually sees him, and realizes Jack and his gang kidnapped him.
@JohnWall-lj1mx yea I think it was the reality of that when he started to work with jessie, he didn't realize at the time that cooking drugs and selling it wasn't a easy payout like he thought. he had to not only cut jesse in, but also pay dealers to sell to, though the end result is walt not nearly making enough he needed, as when badger got caught, they had to pay another dude just to ensure badger wouldn't go to jail/ have to rat out walt and co. Not to mention that saul made them both realize they couldn't spend the money, as smart as walt is, skylar and saul had made him realize that he couldn't just leave it to them. But when saul introduced him to gus, I think thats where it went too far, in that walt entered a agreement with gus that he could not back out of, it forced him to get more money, despite needing only little, and I think again over time walt changed, and forgot why he was doing this, and lost his true intentions after spending so much time basically ensuring that jesse, his family and himself didn't get killed. but yea I agree anything over 700k was too much, and I think walt didn't intend to go further into it until gus and saul forced a deal that he couldn't refuse, along with somehow figuring out how to leave 700k, again in the end it comes down to the fact 700k was enough, but there was no way he could leave them with so little money legally
"Take back what is mine" The tone in his voice there is tragic as he, basically, lost twice in a row. He lost playing by the rules, and then lost again after breaking the rules.
I love how Saul, his criminal lawyer of all people, is telling Walt that he needs to stay in Albuquerque and own up to his actions for his family, we really have reached the end times
Not to mention that he ends up taking his own advice in the finale. He eventually stayed, faced the music, and outshined Walt as the main character of the BB universe.
@@timemachinemaker Out of the 3, Jimmy was probably the only protagonist to do the right thing but I don’t think that necessarily makes him the main character considering the only criminals who even remember him are his customers

I don't think we ever see Jimmy McGill. This is the moment when "Jimmy McGill" is not his original self, nor is he Saul Goodman or Gene Takovic. He is in the transformation between Saul and Gene
And then later turns into Gene Takovic. Now if you look at it, the names of Saul Goodman, Gene Takovic, and Jimmy McGill are all Jimmy's chapters in life.
@@benfrank9622 No, you forgot Slippin Jimmy, the names in chronology order are Slippin Jimmy , Jimmy McGill the "good" laywer from BCS in S1, Jimmy McGill conman from S2 to S4, Saul Goodman his "winner" part in the end of S4 and the begginning of S5, Saul Goodman JMM Just Make Money in Breaking Bad and Gene Tavovic in the end of S6 of BCS, his worst version
“If you walk in with your head held high, you’ll be the John Dillinger of the metropolitan detention center”. Interesting that Saul ended up doing this himself”
Think of how they are all introduced, Saul is introduced trying to keep someone out of prison and he ends up in prison. Walt is introduced dying, and he dies. Jessy is introduced escaping, and he escapes.
Don't you GET it?! It's all wrapped up in the same thing!!! He IS doing it for his family, and he IS doing it for his inflated ego. Stop separating good and bad qualities like that, it's not how it works!
@@Onigirli But half his family became horrified and turned against him upon finding out about his drug dealing while the rest turned against due to his (indirect) role in Hank's death.
@@Onigirli not the same. He admitted he did all of this just for his own ego sake. Had it been otherwise, he would stop either after Tuco or, what is even better, after Gus. What he really wanted was to outcapitalize Gray Matter, which again was to satisfy his ego.
When you consider how much Jimmy had to work and persevere in secret to get an online law degree while working in the mail room and making sure no one was any the wiser, nevermind actually passing the bar on his own, and build himself up pretty much on his own through BCS, it seems so much worse for how easily it was all snatched away from him due to Walt’s actions more than his own. Which is only compounded by the double irony that if Saul had left Walt where he was in S2, he would be fine and Walter White would be another amateurish wannabe failure. Everything he gained, and everything he lost, was all because he didn’t know when to let go. Much the same as Walt himself.
This is maybe the only time I can see some Jimmy in Saul. He is a tragic character. Walt, on the other hand, is a monster. I love the last scene of Felina, but can't help thinking he got off too easy.
Not the first time, but definitely one of the more impacting ones. There was also the time where Saul (or Jimmy) encourages Jesse to see Andrea and Brock, and actually drops his whole Saul Goodman act of sleaziness to say hi to Andrea and Brock himself. There was also the time where he confronts Walt for poisoning Brock.
We like to sympathize with Saul, mainly due to amazing screenwriting. But, considering his answer to the time travel question, in spite of his dramatic fall from grace, he wouldve relived his journey time and time again. This is precisely the reason for why Jimmy’s ending is suitable. As for Walt, he had good intentions in the beginning, but toward the last half of Season 5, it became incredibly apparent that all the people he had killed, all the suffering that he directly and indirectly caused, was for nothing but to feed his own egotistical narcissism. People like to say Bravo Vince as a joke, but lets be for real, Bravo Vince!
Except that Walter had that chance to be good in the 5th episode of the first season when the Schwartz offered him a job but he refused it because he's too prideful. And Jimmy's real regret isn't as superficial as what he answered. His real regret is that he never got to make up with Chuck so just because Walter gave a more direct and more honest answer to the time machine question doesn't make him a better person than Jimmy.
@@nont18411 Saul, overall, had mixed feelings about Chuck. It’s undeniable the effect Chuck had on Jimmy, however, for the most part, Saul compartmentalizes everything that he and Chuck went through.

This is the most of Jimmy mcgill you see in all of breaking Bad and walter White Seeing the other side of saul/jimmy. These scene is almost a foreshadowing of what would happen.The first sign of Jimmy mcgill coming back after years of saul goodman taking over in his last appearance in breaking Bad and in the finale of BCS Jimmy mcgill leaving saul goodman for good and moving on as Jimmy
This should've been the final scene of Ozymandias. It solidifies the fact that everything Walt has done up to this point was wasted. The money, the respect of his family, everything he has worked to achieve, it's all gone. And now Saul, the only true friend he has, has too been pushed passed his limit and is ready to give him one last cold goodbye.
One thing I appreciate: Saul is the only person, besides maybe Gus, who never doubted that's why Walt did everything. Skyler,Mike,Jesse eventually, they all saw right through him.
I'm pretty sure Gus knew why Walt did what he did. The whole "A man provides" monologue he gives to Walt is to manipulate him into cooking for him, because he knows the macho image Walt wants to live up to
I really feel bad for saul in this scene, poor guy just wants to escape but the devil just won't let him go because he just want to use the hell out of him
Saul gave Walt pretty solid legal advice. Sacrifice some money, the family gets the rest, keeps the house. Walt gets recognition and lives out his life in a hospital.
This was the _exact_ moment Saul said "It's over, Waltuh.", implying that the series is slowly coming to an end. Truly, one of the moments of all time. Spectacular writing, Bravo Vince!
All Jimmy is thinking about right now is that he misses Kim badly and is regretting every decision he made that led him to all of this especially Howard and Chuck’s death
I always notice stuff like that in movies or shows too. I also pay attention to when actors have cups to see if you can tell if they actually had anything in the cup or not. Most of the time they don't.
It's sad that this is the last time Walter ever sees Saul. And everyone watching knows that that since after Saul had been disappeared by Ed there's no way in hell Walt could ever find him, nor Saul Walter unless they actively saught eachother, which wasn't happening after all the bad times they'd both been through while they were in business.
@@darksideofevil13 That would be a funny scene where when Walt is driving from New Hampshire back to Albuquerque he stops in Omaha for some Cinnabon and they interact with but don't recognize each other.
True. Like a woman who keeps getting herself abusive boyfriends repeatedly. Jimmy is a bad person but he is a world class at getting himself attached to toxic to downright abusive people.
@@rodrigopena449 What sucks' that even after all the things he did for him, saving his life included, he still said "you'd be the last lawyer I'd go to".
@@CrossoverFan4life He had good points and loved Jimmy deep down but if the entire course of his life, on the surface, was about insulting and looking down on Jimmy, then what happened deep down doesn’t matter.
I think this is the moment Saul really became Jimmy again, he saw walter trying to drag him back into the drug mess and realized how messed up broken walt was, instead of being some surpreme kingpin. It led him to prove he wasn't like walt.
@@BillyButcher90 no but he sacrificed everything he had for the pursuit of self actualization and true happiness. Call him immoral, evil, manipulative, physically weak, etc... But Walter was anything but a pathetic man.
@@Ch4rlz_ThA_Princ3 I believe Chris McCandless said "True happiness is only real when shared". Also, Walt didn't sacrifice anything, he threw away whatever love his family and friends had for him with his criminal activities for selfish reasons. So much for self-actualisation and true happiness.
This scene works really well after the end of Better Call Saul (spoilers) Saul eventually takes the exact advice he gives Walt here. He faces the music with his head held high, becoming a hero among inmates and keeping who he cares about safe.
@@errwhattheflip Except he didnt... She couldn't have been convicted in the first place due to the statute of limitations. And even if she could've been, Jimmy's statement alone wouldn't been able to do anything to stop it. She already confessed to the DA and Howard's ex-wife to what she's done. The only thing Jimmy's statement could've done is maybe help her defense a bit(as a show of remorse to the jury) against the upcoming civil suit that she's gonna get hit with.
@@nirjhar4803 Just read your comment again and I realized my dumbass misread lmao 😂. To respond to your initial point, by that point in the story, Jimmy and Kim are divorced, so to my knowledge, there’s no longer any protection that keeps them from testifying against each other. So, the way I see it, Jimmy is covering all his bases so to speak because while yes, it is true that she confessed to the DA, they establish that since there’s no physical evidence, Kim can’t actually be convicted. Therefore, Jimmy is essentially ensuring that Kim will never face legal prosecution because all the heat will be focused on Jimmy.
I think this has been said about this scene before by another person, but I think one interpretation I love about this scene is that the conversation starts between Walter and Saul, and ends between Heisenberg and Jimmy. It really shows who the "true" one is between both of their alter egos at the end of the day and that, despite everything that happened in BCS that turned him into Saul and everything that reinforced it in BB, Jimmy is still alive in Saul somewhere and is finally ready to come back out. Whereas Walter has kinda always been Heisenberg, the alter ego was just an excuse for him to finally be who he really is. These shows are masterpieces, man.
Then to Gene, then back to Saul again in his dealings with Jeffy, then back to Jimmy again for the trial; and presumably back to Saul again in prison as a survival mechanism.
The way Walt just fell to his knee and made Saul finally see through his delusional attempt to act all intimidating is so satisfying to watch. No longer did we, nor saul, see Walt as this big, menacing, and fearsome king, instead just a crippling old man with big ego to feed. Both are on the run, worn out, in white tshirts, and, ultimately, just powerless.
When he said “it’s over “ I felt that. The breaking bad franchise was really over and they wouldn’t make a 6 season long spin-off show about Saul or a Netflix exclusive sequel about Jesse.
It was because of Badger that these two met. If Badger didn't get arrested then Walter wouldn't have been there when Jane died, Gus probably would've reached out to Walter at the behest of Gale, Jesse would've probably overdosed at some point after Jane's death, and Hank wouldn't have found out about the connection between Gale and Walter because Walt didn't have Gale killed.
@@mfox3863 The twins still would've went after Hank, and he still would've got that text from Gus because Gus wanted to keep Walter working for him. Hank still would've shouted at Marie about the minerals.
@@DustyyBoiYeah, she was laying on her side until Walt made her roll on her back. If he wasn't there, the worst that would have happened is her throwing up on Jesse.
I seriously don’t understand why they made Saul so stupid in Season 6 of BCS. His reckless behavior is something he would’ve lectured someone like Jesse over since he was usually the voice of reason in Breaking Bad.
love how walt and saul are facing the opposite directions they were facing in there previous “we’re don’t when i say we’re done” scene. really shows who has the power in the scene
I think saul in a way is actually still looking out for Walter White because a lawyer needs to tell his client harsh truth, even if they don’t wanna hear it
True, but in the dumbest way imaginable, and by some totally unrealistic, unneeded choice that he seemingly made to look good to an ex-wife he hadn't seen in years (and who apparently likes the idea of Jimmy rotting in a jail cell). The finale of Better Call Saul was straight dogwater.

@@biggusdickus1689 ahh gotcha. Thought they meant the connection to this episode in BCS.
This should've been the final scene of Ozymandias. It solidifies the fact that everything Walt has done up to this point was wasted. The money, the respect of his family, everything he has worked to achieve, it's all gone. And now Saul, the only true friend he has, has too been pushed passed his limit and is ready to give him one last cold goodbye.
Lol Saul was never a friend for Walt, like ever. Come on.
Friend? Have you seen his hourly rate?
@@charlieread2097 it was too low considering the thing they've been doing
Saul seems like such a nice character, I wonder if a show about him would be any good
Imagine this guy having his own spinoff show haha.
Here comes the pretend we don’t know a spin-off exists comments.
:)
That could never work, c'mon now
Cmon bro be real.. the COMEDY GUY getting the spin off??? would never work
1:32
“The fun is over”
Better call Saul really tied the series together and all it took was a man with cancer to change everything.
One thing I appreciate: Saul is the only person, besides maybe Gus, who never doubted that's why Walt did everything. Skyler,Mike,Jesse eventually, they all saw right through him.
I'm pretty sure Gus knew why Walt did what he did. The whole "A man provides" monologue he gives to Walt is to manipulate him into cooking for him, because he knows the macho image Walt wants to live up to
This is what he did in the end. He was quite popular in prison, the John Dillinger of our time.
I really feel bad for saul in this scene, poor guy just wants to escape but the devil just won't let him go because he just want to use the hell out of him
Saul gave Walt pretty solid legal advice. Sacrifice some money, the family gets the rest, keeps the house. Walt gets recognition and lives out his life in a hospital.
Saul foretold himself, he became the John dillinger of a prison
This was the _exact_ moment Saul said "It's over, Waltuh.", implying that the series is slowly coming to an end. Truly, one of the moments of all time.
Spectacular writing, Bravo Vince!
Hack comment
Walt was convinced Saul had more underworld connections, when in reality, he killed all of Sauls's underworld connections.
All Jimmy is thinking about right now is that he misses Kim badly and is regretting every decision he made that led him to all of this especially Howard and Chuck’s death
At this point I’m pretty sure he’s still repressing any thoughts of that.
Damn you spoiled better call Saul
“If I’m lucky, I’ll be managing a Cinnabon in Omaha!”
And then in Better Call Saul it shows clips of Saul doing just that
I love it when Walt said
It's not over until *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*
The moment Saul said “It’s over” in a serious tone
Saul's bags look empty when he lifts them up at 2:31.
It symbolizes how he has nothing to show for his lawyering career...bravo Vince!
I always notice stuff like that in movies or shows too. I also pay attention to when actors have cups to see if you can tell if they actually had anything in the cup or not. Most of the time they don't.
@@hilairebelloc3368BRAVO VINCE!!!
Anybody else see the parallel between Walt and hector? when hector lashed out he started coughing, just like how Walt did 🤯
"Cinnabon"
And just like that, Vince spoiled Better Call Saul, Bravo Vince.
...spoiled the first scene of the series?
That's called a setup, not a spoiler.
@@StarWarsMoments This was meant as a joke, to throw it around the Bravo Vince quote.
It's sad that this is the last time Walter ever sees Saul. And everyone watching knows that that since after Saul had been disappeared by Ed there's no way in hell Walt could ever find him, nor Saul Walter unless they actively saught eachother, which wasn't happening after all the bad times they'd both been through while they were in business.
Saul did mention going to a Cinnabun in Omaha. That's a start for Walt.
@@darksideofevil13 That would be a funny scene where when Walt is driving from New Hampshire back to Albuquerque he stops in Omaha for some Cinnabon and they interact with but don't recognize each other.
Walt: it’s not over until-
2:01 *begins to die* 💀
Thats Hilarious on a dark level.
Saul's just repeating his relationship with his brother.
True. Like a woman who keeps getting herself abusive boyfriends repeatedly.
Jimmy is a bad person but he is a world class at getting himself attached to toxic to downright abusive people.
Yeah and that scene in BCS when Walter tells him "so you were always like this" is pretty much what Chuck always said to Jimmy.
@@rodrigopena449 What sucks' that even after all the things he did for him, saving his life included, he still said "you'd be the last lawyer I'd go to".
Chuck at least had good points on Jimmy and did love him deep down despite denial.
@@CrossoverFan4life He had good points and loved Jimmy deep down but if the entire course of his life, on the surface, was about insulting and looking down on Jimmy, then what happened deep down doesn’t matter.
Tbh the finale would have been a lot more plausible if instead of the automated trunk MG it had been Jimmy McGill kitted out like Rambo
Slipping Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun
Todd: Who are you, man?
Saul: He called Saul
I think this is the moment Saul really became Jimmy again, he saw walter trying to drag him back into the drug mess and realized how messed up broken walt was, instead of being some surpreme kingpin. It led him to prove he wasn't like walt.
scenes like this do such a great job at hammering in what a cruel and pathetic person Walt is
Dont talk about Heisenberg like that, man.
@@Ch4rlz_ThA_Princ3Is he your dad?
@@BillyButcher90 no but he sacrificed everything he had for the pursuit of self actualization and true happiness.
Call him immoral, evil, manipulative, physically weak, etc...
But Walter was anything but a pathetic man.
@@Ch4rlz_ThA_Princ3 I believe Chris McCandless said "True happiness is only real when shared".
Also, Walt didn't sacrifice anything, he threw away whatever love his family and friends had for him with his criminal activities for selfish reasons. So much for self-actualisation and true happiness.
Who you calling pathetic lil bro?
This scene works really well after the end of Better Call Saul (spoilers)
Saul eventually takes the exact advice he gives Walt here. He faces the music with his head held high, becoming a hero among inmates and keeping who he cares about safe.
Damnit wish I never read that. I was warned and everything
Can you tell me who he kept safe? As far as we know Kim still has a civil suit coming her way regardless of Jimmy's confession...
@@nirjhar4803 He made sure she couldn't be convicted anyway
@@errwhattheflip Except he didnt... She couldn't have been convicted in the first place due to the statute of limitations.
And even if she could've been, Jimmy's statement alone wouldn't been able to do anything to stop it. She already confessed to the DA and Howard's ex-wife to what she's done.
The only thing Jimmy's statement could've done is maybe help her defense a bit(as a show of remorse to the jury) against the upcoming civil suit that she's gonna get hit with.
@@nirjhar4803 Just read your comment again and I realized my dumbass misread lmao 😂. To respond to your initial point, by that point in the story, Jimmy and Kim are divorced, so to my knowledge, there’s no longer any protection that keeps them from testifying against each other. So, the way I see it, Jimmy is covering all his bases so to speak because while yes, it is true that she confessed to the DA, they establish that since there’s no physical evidence, Kim can’t actually be convicted. Therefore, Jimmy is essentially ensuring that Kim will never face legal prosecution because all the heat will be focused on Jimmy.
Thank you for finally posting the scenes with the great dialogue before the good scenes
It wasn’t too many episodes ago that Saul was intimidated by Walt. Now you can see that he’s not. Walt lost everything, even his power.
He was though, but the cough gave it away
He was still intimidated up until that cough
Even after the cough he looked intimidated, slowly leaving before his cough stops
Imagine a spin-off between Mr. Lambert and Gene Takavic
and Mr. Driscoll
When you roll a 1 on the intimidation check
This is the moment where Saul asked to define “good”
I like how this isn’t Saul Goodman talking, this is Jimmy McGill talking and giving genuine advice
When Walter Said "I am the one who manages a Cinnabon" it sent chills down my spine. Such good acting from Malcolm in the middle.
Who went back to this after watching the final episode of Better call Saul?
“Stay here, and face the music..” Saul ended up taking his own advice
I just love the fact they got Robert Forster in the show
And “Better Call Saul” opens with him managing a Cinnabon store in Omaha.
This is the moment Ed gave these two
Chuck McGill is finally at peace
In retrospect with BCS it’s really funny how Walt completely disrespects Saul hours before then thinks he’ll jump on board to help him now 😂
1:38 and there you go 😂😂😂😂
Roll credits!
I bet that saul here was thinking that he should've listened to mike's warning.
I think this has been said about this scene before by another person, but I think one interpretation I love about this scene is that the conversation starts between Walter and Saul, and ends between Heisenberg and Jimmy. It really shows who the "true" one is between both of their alter egos at the end of the day and that, despite everything that happened in BCS that turned him into Saul and everything that reinforced it in BB, Jimmy is still alive in Saul somewhere and is finally ready to come back out. Whereas Walter has kinda always been Heisenberg, the alter ego was just an excuse for him to finally be who he really is.
These shows are masterpieces, man.
Saul says best case scenario he’s managing a Cinnabon and then BCS picks up with him managing one nice detail
The first and last time they ever saw each other Walt coughed lol
This is The Moment Saul Godmann Turns Back To Jimmy
Then to Gene, then back to Saul again in his dealings with Jeffy, then back to Jimmy again for the trial; and presumably back to Saul again in prison as a survival mechanism.
2 main protoganist of great shows in one scene
“I’m going to kill Jack and his entire crew”
This is the moment Saul became a manager at a Cinnabon in Omaha.
"Just another douchebag with three pairs of Dockers." LMAO
When Saul asked Walt if he had change for a dollar, quarters mostly, that's when we knew he wasnt going to get out unscathed.
Ahhhhhhhh pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’ll have to take it up with management.
This scene foreshadows everything that happens later, just as described here.
You know you really f’d up when your lawyer tells you to turn yourself in
The way Walt just fell to his knee and made Saul finally see through his delusional attempt to act all intimidating is so satisfying to watch. No longer did we, nor saul, see Walt as this big, menacing, and fearsome king, instead just a crippling old man with big ego to feed. Both are on the run, worn out, in white tshirts, and, ultimately, just powerless.
When he said “it’s over “ I felt that. The breaking bad franchise was really over and they wouldn’t make a 6 season long spin-off show about Saul or a Netflix exclusive sequel about Jesse.
Bad Job, Vince
From this point forward Saul Goodman no longer exists, say hello to Gene Takovic
This was the exact moment my grandma called me from her cruise trip to Australia.
1:56 man these creators know how they shift humor from angry to funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe Walt wouldn't cough so much if he stopped putting on that gravelly, intimidating voice.
It was because of Badger that these two met. If Badger didn't get arrested then Walter wouldn't have been there when Jane died, Gus probably would've reached out to Walter at the behest of Gale, Jesse would've probably overdosed at some point after Jane's death, and Hank wouldn't have found out about the connection between Gale and Walter because Walt didn't have Gale killed.
Hank also wouldn't have learned the difference between rocks and minerals.
@@mfox3863 The twins still would've went after Hank, and he still would've got that text from Gus because Gus wanted to keep Walter working for him. Hank still would've shouted at Marie about the minerals.
Wow…very detailed possibilities. Here’s an easier one. Walter doesn’t cook and literally EVERYONE continued on as before
water wouldn't be there when Jane died, because she wouldn't have died. Walter inadvertently killed her
@@DustyyBoiYeah, she was laying on her side until Walt made her roll on her back. If he wasn't there, the worst that would have happened is her throwing up on Jesse.
This is the exact moment it was over.
And with that, Walter lost his last ally, and would have to gain vengeance by himself
While Jimmy kinda forgot he was "Mr Low Profile" and broke into someone's house, tried to confront and elderly woman and got arrested like an idiot.
I seriously don’t understand why they made Saul so stupid in Season 6 of BCS. His reckless behavior is something he would’ve lectured someone like Jesse over since he was usually the voice of reason in Breaking Bad.
@@jinxthatsme2317You didn’t understand anything
@@vendimi9547 Great argument.
@@jinxthatsme2317 The argument is literally the whole show
@@jinxthatsme2317 Yeah BCS went downhill after Chuck died imo.
The first scene of "Better call Saul" shows him being a Manager at a Cinnabon, just like he predicts at 1:39 :) small detail
2:16 so cathartic
meeting of the 2 protagonists/antagonists
1:38 A bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there, ay Vince/Peter?
The moment you realized Walt changes his name to Lambert, Skyler's maiden name and Jimmy moves to Nebraska, where Kim was born and raised
love how walt and saul are facing the opposite directions they were facing in there previous “we’re don’t when i say we’re done” scene. really shows who has the power in the scene
I think saul in a way is actually still looking out for Walter White because a lawyer needs to tell his client harsh truth, even if they don’t wanna hear it
1:38 I love that Saul was able to achieve his best case scenario
True, but in the dumbest way imaginable, and by some totally unrealistic, unneeded choice that he seemingly made to look good to an ex-wife he hadn't seen in years (and who apparently likes the idea of Jimmy rotting in a jail cell). The finale of Better Call Saul was straight dogwater.
Both guys did what they said they would lol.
The truth is...... Walter didn't want to be alone 😢
He did told Ed to stay with him before, and even paid him $10,000 to stay 😢
