Saul ended up serving as Walt and Jesses lawyer and money-laundering consultant for the rest of the series.
Despite his flamboyance,Saul is a reprehensible monster; Jimmy is a sympathetic human being.
In retrospect, Jimmy only emerged from behind the mask of Saul in oneepisode ofBreaking Bad.
While theyre laying low in Eds basement, Walts lawyer finally drops the Saul act.
“Granite State” was written and directed by futureBetter Call Saulshowrunner Peter Gould.
Walt tries to coerce Jimmy into coming with him, butJimmy is no longer intimidated by the legendary Heisenberg.
There were hints at his backstory and motivations, but no real dramatic exploration of them.
Through his contacts and connections, Saul facilitated plot points like Walts money-laundering scheme and the poisoning of Brock.
Buthe was mainly there to make the audience laugh with his quippy one-linersand peculiar behavior.
Breaking Bad, created by Vince Gilligan, follows a chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin named Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as he attempts to provide for his family following a fatal diagnosis. With nothing left to fear, White ascends to power in the world of drugs and crime, transforming the simple family man into someone known only as Heisenberg.
Then,Better Call Saulbrought a lot more depth to the character.
And after watchingBetter Call Saul, the character plays a lot differently ona rewatch ofBreaking Bad.
If his life was in danger, he would drop that mask in a second and beg for mercy.
Jimmy blew his cover in Omaha and Marie Schrader came back for justice.
The finale went back to Sauls stay with Walt in Eds basement during the events of Granite State.
TheBetter Call Saulfinale, “Saul Gone,” originally aired on AMC on August 15, 2022.
Jimmy tells Walt that he regrets injuring his knee during a childhood scam.
