Which brings us to this minimum-dialogue, maximum-subtext scene, in which he’s wearing his most striking outfit yet: orange ADX Montrose prison scrubs.
And he would be exposed, by a nice old lady played by Carol Burnett, sending him on the run, into a dumpster, and into police custody. Jimmy, er, Saul, er, Gene had been dabbling in identity theft and now he was taking bigger risks, begging to be exposed. That phone call jarred something loose in him, too. But she did fly to Albuquerque and confess all/most to the authorities and to Howard’s widow, Cheryl (Sandrine Holt). He taunted her and told her to turn herself in. When he called her up one day (not just any day his 50th birthday), she was stunned and quietly told him to turn himself in. Years later, Jimmy was hiding out in Nebraska as neutered Cinnabon manager Gene Takovic, while Kim was living dispassionately in Florida, busying herself with the minutiae of Miracle Whip and flange diameters. In one fell swoop, Kim punished herself by quitting the law and Jimmy, the ruinous results of a scheme that had gone so awry that Howard and Lalo became permanent fixtures in the superlab. Together they became the beating, cheating heart of the show. She is the savvy, self-sabotaging lawyer who plays her cards close to her ponytail and who brims with great skills and even greater contradictions. He is the misguided, eager-eyed, corner-cutting attorney who devolves into flashy lowlife whisperer/Walter White consigliere Saul Goodman.
It’s almost time for Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn to film their very last scene - and puff their last cigarette - as Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler, two married lawyers joined at the bathroom sink, concocting increasingly elaborate scams. “Goodbye, mustache,” say a few crew members with a mixture of amusement and dolefulness. “Say goodbye to the mustache,” announces star Bob Odenkirk, as he lays a key part of Gene to rest on the side of the stage. Nacho ( Michael Mando), Howard ( Patrick Fabian), Lalo ( Tony Dalton), and probably Swimmy McGill (a goldfish) - and it lingers in the air today. Death has visited this show often in the final season - R.I.P. Cast and crew mill about this Albuquerque Studios soundstage, working on the few remaining scenes from the 63rd and last episode of AMC’s acclaimed spin-off prequel. It’s the final day of filming on Better Call Saul, which technically would make this the final day of filming on the entire Breaking Bad saga - a franchise that stretches over 15 years, two series, one movie, and 817 “I’m too old for this s-” disapproving grimaces on a certain fixer’s face.
