!!hot!!: Better Call Saul - Season 6eps13

Saul, now older, thinner, walks laps. He’s nobody here. No respect. A con man in a cage full of wolves.

He unbuttons his collar. He removes his glasses. He looks directly at Kim Wexler, who is sitting in the gallery. Better Call Saul - Season 6Eps13

She hangs up. Walks away. Doesn’t look back.

The courtroom gasps. The D.A. looks like she’s won the lottery. Bill Oakley buries his face in his hands. Saul, now older, thinner, walks laps
