Better Call Saul

In 2010, Saul lives in Omaha as Gene Takavic, manager of a Cinnabon. Recognized by cab driver Jeff, he drags him into cons: department store thefts, then a scheme to steal financial data from rich, drunk men. In flashbacks, Saul meets Walt and Jesse, and a divorced Kim runs into Jesse at his office. Gene calls Kim, who lives in Florida, and she decides to come clean about Howard's death. Marion, Jeff's mother, figures out who Gene is and calls the police. Arrested, he bargains his way down to seven and a half years. At sentencing, with Kim in the room, Jimmy confesses everything and gets 86 years. It ends with Kim visiting Jimmy in prison and sharing a cigarette with him.
