The final episode of “Better call Saul” is now available and you can watch it on Netflix. The riveting story of attorney Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and the lovely Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) comes to an end in a thrilling finale that, in its own style, distances itself from the explosiveness of “Breaking bad” and relies on its recurring elegance to finish developing their characters.
As always, there is much to say, so in this REVIEW WITH SPOILERS Let’s go straight to the point and review in three parts the outcome of the three faces of our protagonist: Jimmy McGill, Saul Goodman and Gene Takavic.
The fall of Gene Takavic
In the first scene with Mike, this chapter reminds us what Jimmy’s dangerous ambition has been, the money, that corrosive evil that has made him forget what repentance is. Since the death of his brother Chuck, the survival of this unfortunate lawyer has revolved around “live to win.”
Even if he could go back in time, Jimmy wouldn’t go back to make amends for any of his big mistakes. On the contrary, as he tells the veteran Ehrmantraut, what he would make is a play to become a billionaire in the future.
That same desire to be the winner of everything woke up again with Kim’s last call and is what in this episode causes his arrest. Those diamonds that he kept for so long are of no use to him, because the great Saul Goodman is finally trapped inside a garbage can.
Saul Goodman’s play
Saul Goodman is not just any name, he is the most famous lawyer in Albuquerque and the man most remembered by people after the death of Walter White and the escape of Jesse Pinkman.
Thus, even though he has been humiliated by being found in a dumpster, our dear lawyer always manages to think of something and move the cards in his favor. As Lalo Salamanca said, he “is like the cockroach, a born survivor.”
In such a way, with his calculating countenance —even with the handcuffs in his hands—, Saul Goodman executes his last great move: he victimizes himself before the exploits of Walter White and manages to negotiate with the lawyer of Marie Schrader (Hank’s widow) a masterful reduction of his sentence: from 30 to only 7 and a half years in prison.
Jimmy Mcgill’s Redemption
When the trial arrives, everything is prepared for Saul Goodman, who decides to represent himself, to hear his reduced sentence before everyone present (with Kim Wexler included). However, at the last moment, our protagonist makes it clear to us that this is a James Mcgill moment.
Jimmy confesses the whole truth leaving aside his alibi as a victim before Walter White. He admits his crimes as an accomplice to Heisenberg, his involvement in the death of Howard Hamlim, and how he even caused his brother Chuck’s suicide..
Thus, contrary to what we expected, our protagonist reaches redemption inside prison, where he can basically be his 3 personalities: the kind jimmy mcgill he finds himself again after his confession; Gene Takavic he continues his trade as a baker along with the other prisoners; Y Saul Goodman he is immortalized as the defender of criminals by being praised by the other inmates.
Kim, a little drop of color
It couldn’t be a worthy ending without Kim Wexlerwho returns to visit Jimmy within his time in prison —who after his confession went from 7 to 86 years— and smoke a cigarette as we saw in the first chapter of the series.
This small cigarette flamewhich is the only color in the scene, represents the little love that still remains between the twoa llama that serves as a brief relief for the redeemed James Mcgill.
And the last thing we see is Kim walking away as Jimmy watches her from afar behind the patio bars. A goodbye that ends the love story of this pair and gives both characters what they deserve after all their actions.
