The story ends at a maximum-security prison. Kim visits Jimmy, and they share one last cigarette against a concrete wall, echoing the very first scene of the series. Jimmy has regained Kim's respect, even if he has lost his liberty. As she walks away from the prison, Jimmy watches her through the chain-link fence, offering a final "finger gun" salute—a bittersweet acknowledgement that while he is "Saul gone," Jimmy McGill finally found peace.
After being captured, the cunning Saul negotiates an almost impossibly lenient plea deal. However, when he learns that his ex-wife, Kim Wexler, could be implicated, he makes a shocking choice. In a final courtroom confessional, Saul Goodman disappears, and Jimmy McGill returns to accept full responsibility for his actions, earning an 86-year sentence but reclaiming his true self.
