Saul was extremely thirsty. He had come to this sweltering place because seven million dollars in cash was buried underground. Saul told his companion he wanted to build a time machine. His companion said he wanted to go back to the day he first took a bribe, and also travel to the future to see if they were still doing well in fifty years. Saul, however, only wanted to become a billionaire.
Jim was already a fugitive from the police, but he still didn’t forget to retrieve the hidden box he’d stashed away. When Saul saw police outside, he even hid in a trash can to open the box and check its contents—only to be discovered anyway. Saul was arrested and taken to the police station. He called Krista, saying he had urgent matters to attend to and telling her to hire a new manager. Saul never thought he’d get caught so easily, and he was utterly unwilling to accept it.
Saul requested to call William and have him act as his legal counsel, instructing him to head to the airport immediately. He was convinced he would win the case hands down. Saul faced a potential thirty-year prison sentence, and the police asked his lawyer for any objections.
Confronted with accusations from the victims’ families, Saul remained unflustered as he insisted on his innocence, claiming he had lost everything. The jury thought no one would believe a word he said, but Saul replied, “I’ll be satisfied if just one person believes me.”
Saul asked his companion why he wanted to use the time machine to go back. His companion said it was because of regrets—and Saul admitted he shared the same kind of regrets. Saul told his companion about the foolish things he’d done when he was young, and his companion replied, “So you’ve always been this absurd.”
On the plane, Saul called William over in the aisle. He asked William about the specific details of the case, whether Hamlin’s widow would file a lawsuit, and if the investigation would continue. At the same time, he left some information for the police through the officer sitting nearby.
Kim was having afternoon tea with her girlfriends, seemingly living a peaceful life—but her inner peace was nonexistent. Kim received a call from Suzanne’s shop owner, who informed her that Saul had been arrested two days earlier. His testimony was crucial and might implicate her. When Kim arrived at the courtroom, her legs were trembling uncontrollably.
Saul took the initiative to defend himself, eloquently claiming he was a victim and swearing under oath that he was telling the truth. Someone argued that all of Saul’s statements were mere subjective fantasies, but the judge did not interrupt his testimony.
Chuck told Saul, “If this path doesn’t work out, you can always choose another.” But Saul retorted, “I don’t see you changing your path either,” and then walked away.
As Saul sat in the prison transport vehicle, he noticed a bald man in front of him sweating. The bald man asked, “Do we know each other?” Everyone soon realized he was the Saul from the “Call Saul if you’re in trouble” commercials.
Kim came to visit Saul and pulled out a cigarette. She said, “You fought for seven years.” Saul replied, “I still have to behave well—nothing’s certain yet.” Saul watched as Kim left the prison.
