The one thing when I think about it that I never could understand is why Saul went into hiding to begin with? I KNOW it's due to his involvement with Saul and the things that he did, but Saul didn't have really that much of a connection with the exception of Huell snitching, but even with that he wouldn't have known what happened to Huell if we recall in Breaking Bad, and Huell making the accusation wouldn't be enough for proof.

All of Saul's financial records and documents were shredded. It's implied that Francesca did not run and got herself an attorney. The only thing that those in general known to be as fact is that Saul hired him for legal means that Saul and easily justify making up excuses. It's not like his reputation of working with the cartel is no SECRET. Everyone knows about him defending LALO and got PAID for it. So, I honestly do not understand why Saul HAD to run?

Again, he shredded everything that had a financial connection. Plus, Skyler is in the clear. There's nothing of proof because everything was shredded. No more a paper trail.

You gotta remember the timing though.

Saul went on the run sometime around "Ozymandias".

During that time frame:

Walt was wanted by the police.
Skyler was already with the police.
Jesse was missing.
Huell was missing.
Hank was missing.
Gomez was missing.

Realistically there would be no reason for him to stick around and see if/when he's arrested or killed.

We should add a poll or bet or something

Jimmy surviving this or nah? :jbhmm:

based on that variety vid, bob odenkirk feels there’s no middle ground for the character…I’m gonna go with nah…although getting caught is an option too…ya I’m gonna say he gets caught not die…but I don’t see him just riding shyt out or having a happy ending where him and kim run schemes happily ever after

In the Breaking Bad series, it would have made sense because of what you mentioned, except for Skylar because she wouldn't be wanting to be implicated. Walt's phone call that episode made it appear he forced her to comply.

But the Nippy episode got me thinking, because he made a decision NOT to run when his cover was blown and able to handle it his own way. Which is something that the OLD SAUL would've done. Add to the fact he was Lalo's attorney, so it wasn't a secret about whom he associates himself with. The only people he MAY have a fear were the Nazi's, but at that stage, he dealt with so many criminals that I've doubt him hiding would be the first immediate option.

By shredding the financial trail connection with Walt, and the police/feds not knowing where the actual money was and Walt disappearing, there was nothing that is SOLID enough pin Saul and at worse, he would just lose his license which was a given anyway.

theres always a paper trail with money and skyler probably had to make a deal to testify in any prosecution relating to the case

theres also a reddit theory the kittlemens run that ice station zebra associates, if true they'll definitely snitch on him

Kittleman was the WOAT at trying to hide the money he stole from the county... writing checks to himself... that would be fukking stupid to have him running it since Saul is smarter than that...


So it's probably correct :to:

Got to see what kind of scheme he could do in the “current” timeline. I just wonder what his endgame is. He gonna try to snatch more shyt? :patrice:

I was :mjlol: when the taxi dude was :dead: though the offed himself and was over for Slippin Gene. :heh:
