Saul Goodman Dies Behind Bars
Jimmy McGill dying in prison is the most likely outcome after Better Call Saul's final episode. Even though Jimmy tries to be optimistic in his talk with Kim, the reality is that he received an 86-year sentence for his crimes in Breaking Bad. This was designed to give Jimmy no way out since he fully confessed to everything in Better Call Saul's finale, which means any future deals are off the table. Even with good behavior, it's highly unlikely that Jimmy would be granted any release early en...
Saul Goodman Has No Allies Left
Another reason Jimmy won't get out of prison is that he's short on allies who could help him. He may have mended his relationship with Kim somewhat, but she inspired Jimmy to tell the truth in the first place, so he won't find help there. Even if she did agree to help him, she's not a lawyer anymore, and her reputation will certainly take a hit after revealing what she and Jimmy did to Howard before his death. Jimmy could always seek out another lawyer, but it's doubtful that any attorney wou...
Saul Goodman Dying In Prison Is A Fitting End
Even if Jimmy could get out of prison before he dies, it would only ruin a perfect Better Call Saul ending. The whole point of Jimmy going to prison was to show that he finally owned up to all his past mistakes, leaving Saul Goodman behind forever. He may have been a free man before getting caught, but he was also living in a prison of his own making. By confessing to his crimes, he ended up going to prison for life, but he was finally free from the fear and guilt that he'd lived with for so...
An End Where Saul Goodman Dies Would Have Been Easier For Jimmy
Jimmy's prison sentence also makes Better Call Saul's ending darker than it first appeared. Because Jimmy doesn't die onscreen, his true fate goes unspoken in the actual show. It only becomes apparent later that he's going to die behind bars, which adds extra weight to a story already rife with tragedy. What's worse is that Jimmy will be largely alone, unable to reunite with Kim or anyone else he once had a meaningful connection with. Despite leaving his Saul Goodman personabehind, this is ho...
While It Looks Like Saul Goodman Dies In Pirson, It's Not Set In Stone
Though the Better Call Saul ending ties up the story in a satisfying way that makes sense for the show, it is open-ended enough that fans can still have fun speculating about Jimmy's ultimate fate. As it turns out, the show's co-creator isn't even completely convinced about how Jimmy's story ends following that finale in which Kim leaves him behind in prison. The interpretations are up to the individual viewer, but Peter Gould hinted (via AMC.com) that he has a somewhat optimistic take on wha...
