Here's what I know: These three young men, near honors students all, were feeling their oats one Saturday night, and they just went a little bananas. I mean, they'll smile at you, they'll pat you on the head but they are never ever letting you in. Asshole! When Chuck approaches the pair, he answers Kim's questions on case law, but is annoyed by Jimmy. I've been paying for it ever since. Taken to a visitation room, he finds that the lawyer is Kim; as her membership card with the New Mexico Bar Association doesn't have an expiration date, she is allowed to visit him as an attorney. Saul is quick to point out the flaws of this plan - how it will merely raise more questions - and Jesse leaves his office. I'm like a god in human clothing! In spite of this, it is gradually revealed that Jimmy is truly more conman than a lawyer, and throughout the series, it is shown that Jimmy has been a crook from an early age, in which he stole from his kind father's corner store, eventually resulting in its bankruptcy and his father's death and engaged in multiple con games in order to steal money from unsuspecting victims.

What exactly is provable that he did wrong? You tell me or I'll burn this whole goddamn house to the ground!Jimmy confronting Chuck over the cassette tape. Everyone was dead or out of the picture, Saul's lawyer and Skyler were still around, but anything they would say would incriminate themselves, plus it's all hearsay. Wasting no time, Saul called Bill Oakley (Peter Diseth) to help represent him in his case as co-counsel, and he met with law enforcement to discuss his sentence. The whole lobby of HHM applauding for you. However, opening the door would trigger an alarm and alert the police, who could potentially recognize him. He did that. ("Waterworks"). We always end up having the same conversation, don't we?Chuck, UnoJimmy talking to himself while looking at a mirror. This here, this makes it official, right? However, when faced with Marie Schrader and the impact that his crimes have had on others, particularly Kim, he throws away both Saul Goodman and Gene forever to become Jimmy McGill again and to own up to his crimes, even though it essentially means spending the rest of his life in prison. Jimmy disappoints Kim by giving Craig and Betsy Kettleman the cash before he leaves. When Jimmy asked if she had said anything before passing, Chuck lied and said she hadn't; in reality, she had briefly awoken and called for Jimmy, and Jimmy would never know the truth ("Klick").

Saul immediately returns to his house to take his box of diamonds and a burner phone as the police are alerted of Saul Goodman's presence in Omaha.

Greg Lewis/AMC Unlike Walter White, he doesn't find a way to have his fate and cheat it too.. So these two geniuses ran their little stunt on the wrong one. Jimmy finally drinks his own urine as Mike had earlier attempted to get him to do and begins walking down the road with Mike back to civilization, the threat to them now gone. You are talking about regrets, so if you want to ask about regrets, just ask about regrets, and leave all this time-traveling nonsense out of it! Im done with that. Someting must've happened.

Jimmy heads to the Forque Kitchen and Bar for dinner with Kim, where she tells him that she has been hired at the head of Schweikart & Cokely's banking division.

There was likely more than enough to tie Saul to a conspiracy on multiple counts and the only reason he wasn't caught was that no entity was investigating him closely enough. But think about what you just said. Really its 50/50 if the cops are even after him or have anything that would stick. Jimmy is angry that he is expected to be sympathetic. And he could be judgmental and difficult, and he knew how to get under your skin.

Desperate to get rid of the money, he resorts to throwing stacks of money into peoples' yards as he drives by. Anything that gets the DEA's panties in this big a bunch, you're onto something special. Besides money laundering and Tax evasion etc etc, etc, a bigger reason was in the eyes of the Law, if you are aware of all the murders and poisonings, (the list goes on) and you don't report that to police, you are now complicit, and you become just as guilty as Walt and Jesse.Money laundering, tax evasion, accomplice to the murders, accomplice Exactly.
