vermin posted:Just to get this straight, Saul's in hiding because Walt was dragging everyone to hell with him? It's been so long since I've seen Breaking Bad but I don't remember the specific reason he disappeared. i don't actually recall walt doing the walt thing at saul at the end. their parting wasn't exactly amicable, but i think saul's the one who helps set up walt's new hampshire retreat. they both make use of the disappearer at around the same time, since the feds have taped confession from jesse by then my memory is a bit fuzzy, though. i get to those episodes in my rewatch tonight, so we'll see  e: i wouldn't use spoil tags but this is at the top of a page so whatever

It's been so long since I've seen Breaking Bad but I don't remember the specific reason he disappeared. There was always the lingering fear of Walt killing 12 guys in two minutes when cornered. But I think Saul was more concerned that the police had Huell and the money would lead back to him.

Jesse's living under an assumed name in Alaska, clean, working as a carpenter, with a native girlfriend who looks curiously like a cross between Andrea and Jane. I refuse to believe anything else. some guy on the bus posted:Saul went bald pretty fast then. He still had great hair at the end of BB. Stress vermin posted:Just to get this straight, Saul's in hiding because Walt was dragging everyone to hell with him? It's been so long since I've seen Breaking Bad but I don't remember the specific reason he disappeared. The Heisenberg case is a federal criminal investigation that's led to the arrest of dozens of people across several states, the collapse of an international drug cartel, and a nationwide manhunt for a drug kingpin known to have amassed hundreds of millions of dollars manufacturing methamphetamine while ruthlessly eliminating his competition by running them over with cars and blowing them up with pipe-bombs. Dude was on his way to becoming Pablo Escobar, and Saul Goodman was his consigliere. There's no way he could get away with it -- just too many people on the trail.

Did the police know Saul was involved with Walt? Would he be a big enough deal for his picture be all over the news like 'hey this guy was that meth kingpin's lawyer/accomplice' Man it's been too long since I saw BB, I've forgotten a ton of stuff

Help Im Alive posted:Did the police know Saul was involved with Walt?

The cops who found Walt's body would probably also find that tape when they went through the clubhouse. They also had Huell.

It'd be neat if the feds found Gene/Saul out and word gets to HHM, and Howard and team end of being his defense. I mean, I don't think they do criminal law, so that's extremely unlikely, but it'd be neat to see.

When Saul bugged out, it was more out of panic than necessity. He wasn't aware of Jesse's tape, just Walt's bullshit and Huell's disappearance.

Actually, that confession tape is an excellent way for BCS to, for lack of a better term, "glaze over" the events of Breaking Bad. Picture this: Season (whatever) ends with Saul meeting up with Walt and Jesse, just after dealing with some big problem with Nacho. The opening to the next season is a continuation of the final shot of BB. Walt's lying there, dead, the cops are there searching the area. They find the dvd and take it into evidence. Skip ahead to it being watched. The show uses Jesse's entire confession over top of quick cuts to footage of the events he's describing, but mixing in footage of Saul also being involved (aside from the times Jesse mentions Saul specifically). And then maybe we get a replay of Walt and Saul in the basement of the vacuum store, only this time, of course, we follow Saul when he leaves. Also, I'm hoping that BCS ties in Robert Forster's character soonish.

(Example: Leave the US via the Tijuana crossing, or just charter a boat) Once out of the US, it'd be relatively easy to make your way to a distant, extradition free land (SE Asia is full of 'em)

Didn't Season 1 have a whole bit where Mike told Jimmy the story of a criminal who had stayed hidden from the police three houses down from his own house, and that dovetailed into Jimmy tracking down the Kettlemans having escaped into the woods behind their house because no one likes to leave home...?

Oh, Todd's charms were definitely working on her. Watch their last scene. She was letting him sit next to her (previously she didn't want him or anybody to) and she was smiling the whole time while he was giving her compliments. Walt ruined a beautiful thing.

For me you know what the actual highlight of the episode was? Chuck and Hamlin's little one-on-one during the setup of the courtroom. Hamlin is trying to get Chuck to think of the impact on the company of poo poo coming out. And Chuck's response is NO, gently caress THE COMPANY, WHAT IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW IS MY PERSONAL REVENGE. He thinks he's landed a masterstroke by saying "This is not the time to worry about optics". Like... what? From Hamlin's perspective that is the moment when Chuck becomes a liability, and irrevocably so. From that point on, in the hearing, he isn't really trying. Chuck's lost him. Also right at the beginning of Chuck's rant, check that little jaw twitch.  fake edit: I don't remember if this was discussed in previous threads, but can I just say I really appreciate the double layers of interpretation for "Charlie Hustle". Either it's a dull grandpa nickname invented by someone who thinks a straightforward sports reference is the height of wit, or it's a clever riff on Slippin' Jimmy's conman roots.

My favorite bit was "No, I do. I'm the only person who could adequately explain the context of that tape. Otherwise the defense will tear it to shreds." Except there was no way for Jimmy to tear it to shreds without Chuck being there. Without Chuck to answer Jimmy's questions, it sounds pretty damning and there's not much he can say about it. Chuck being there is was screws it all up.
