Jimmy flees Marion's house. Realizing that there's no way left to salvage the Gene Takovic identity, he attempts to call the Albuquerque vacuum repair shop and order a new dust filter for his Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro Model 60, only to hear an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line. The original owner for the store had died, and the new owner is oblivious to what Jimmy is really asking for. Realizing that he has no easy way out, Jimmy collects his diamonds and as much cash from his house as possible, stuffs it all into his car, and drives off. He doesn't even make it out of his neighborhood before being caught by the local police. Jimmy is arrested.
In court, Jimmy stands trial for all of the crimes he committed. What begins is an overview of all of Jimmy's sordid activities throughout the run of Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, from his attempt to scam the Kettlemans into being his clients all the way up to helping Walter White poison Brock. Character witnesses are brought to the stand to testify against Jimmy, such as Cliff Main, Francesca, and even Skyler White. Each witness tears into Jimmy, describing the glib nature in which he would commit the most heinous of professional sins. Finally, Kim Wexler takes the stand. Jimmy is optimistic, thinking his former lover, of all people, would at least give him a kind word. Instead, Kim callously assault's Jimmy's character as well, pinning the blame for how they mutually destroyed Howard Hamlin solely on Jimmy and his malign influence over her. She talks about how apathetic Jimmy was over driving his own brother to suicide, establishing that this sort of thing was child's play for the disgraced lawyer. Utterly defeated, Jimmy accepts his guilty sentence with no resistance.
In prison, Jimmy is lauded by the inmates as a hero. They see Jimmy as paragon of the defeated man who was willing to do anything to make something of himself, regardless of what the establishment thought. Gang bangers and drug dealers alike see him as the legendary consigliere to the great Heisenberg, personal barrister of the infamous Salamanca family, and champion of the little guy getting stepped on by society. Jimmy figures that maybe life behind bars isn't so bad. His life as Gene Takovic was like a prison anyway, and Jimmy made peace with the idea that his life as Saul Goodman was long over now. He lays down in his prison bunk with a sense of contentment, thinking that although he lost his freedom, being able to live as a legend in a penitentiary isn't all bad. Just as he's about to drift off to sleep, his cellmate whispers to him:
"It's Saul Ogre now"
