As for why a Cinnabon in Omaha, there are several reasons it's the right move. Saul fears for his life and his freedom, thanks to the many criminal acts he committed alongside Walt, and the many enemies he made in the underworld along the way.Jul 11, 2020
So, Saul Good man was rather foolish when he decided to flee. There was no one who wanted him dead, he'd made plenty of money from Walt that he could have stashed away and his was largely immune from prosecution thanks to attorney-client privilege.Aug 11, 2016
After all he did, his guys were killed and his grandaughter won't ever get her money. It was all for nothing. Then Jesse Pinkman tried to give Kaylee half of his $5 mil buyout, but Saul wouldn't arrange it.

Jimmy discovers from Irene, his former elder law client who represents the class in the Sandpiper Crossing lawsuit, that the company has offered a settlement which if accepted will result in Jimmy's share being $1.16 million.
When Walt and Jesse run into problems distributing their products in large quantities, Saul sets up a meeting with a high-level mover who can help them. It's a moment that proves Saul Goodman isn't only a clever lawyer, but also a savvy businessman.
Walter asks Saul to have his henchman lift the ricin from Jesse's pocket. Saul didn't know he helped Walter poison Brock, the son of the woman Jesse had been involved with, but he should have known the former high school chemistry teacher was up to no good by this point in the series.
The first time Saul meets Skyler after she enters the picture of Walt's ventures, he attempts to charm her with the line, "Walt’s taste in women is like his taste in lawyers, the best, with just the right amount of dirty." She is not impressed by his supposed silver tongue. Throughout the show, Saul proves he is not a lady's man, and, in fact, women are usually disgusted by him. With Skyler as part of the scheme now, he should know better than to insult Walter's wife.
When Walter and Skyler are looking for a legitimate business venture to launder their money, Saul's immediate suggestion is a laser tag place. His reasoning: "scientists love lasers." It's an eye-rolling moment where the lawyer shows even his genius has its limits.
Saul introduces Jesse and Walter to Jimmy, a professional fall guy. Every time a client needs a scapegoat, Jimmy offers his services for a fee. Saul 's connection to Jimmy shows he understands how to turn any skillset into a business venture.
He gives them a detailed plan for hiring a computer hacker to hijack servers from around the U.S. and Canada undetected to give small donations to the Walter White Cancer Fund.
A detestable villain, but certainly one of Breaking Bad’s best ever characters. 3. Mike Ehrmantraut. Mike had the strangest surname in the series, but he was also a solid character, acting as the wise man amid the madness (also occasionally tampering with the madness himself, too).
Huell Babineaux. Perhaps the funniest character on Breaking Bad, the image of Huell’s massive body laying on wads of cash became iconic, as did his cumbersome antics with partner Patrick Kuby. Huell was a minder for the legendary crooked lawyer, Saul Goodman, and acted as low-level muscle.
Although Tuco wasn’t in the show for too long , his character is undeniably iconic. The first real villain of the show, his unhinged personality teased the danger and madness that was around the corner. A wild meth-addict drug kingpin, Salamanca was White’s first real test and represented his change in lifestyle.
Badger and Skinny Pete were practically the same person and acted as some much-needed comic relief throughout the show’s overall bleak tone. The pair were friends with Jesse Pinkman and dabbled in meth and cannabis, acting as low-level dealers who just wanted to get high and play video games.
Andrea Cantillo. The second woman in Jesse Pinkman’s life, Anrea Cantillo often offered stability and maturity that was much needed for him at the time. Sadly, it all ended in tears when Walter White pulled out his sadistic side and tried to kill her young son.
Skyler White. A character that fans loved to hate. Starting off as a nagging wife who’s harsh on her husband, and lacking compassion for a man with terminal cancer, in the end – like many characters – Skyler ended the show as a victim.
Jack Welker. Let’s face it, every show needs a real bad guy. As it happens, Jack Welker was exactly that. A murderous, psychotic Neo-Nazi, Welker entered the show in the later series and didn’t hesitate to grab power when it presented itself.
He analyzes the "blue meth" samples Gus provides and assures Gus it is the best meth he has ever seen. By the third season of Breaking Bad, Gale has broken in the lab's equipment but has been waiting for Gus to hire Walt to cook blue meth. When Walt arrives, Gale expresses admiration and eagerness to learn.
By the time of Breaking Bad, Saul has established an office in a strip mall and advertises across the city. He works with Gus to help protect Gus' drug business. When Walter and Jesse begin producing meth, Saul introduces them to Gus as a potential buyer for their product.
During events of Better Call Saul, Gus allies with Mike when Mike finds his own family at risk from the Salamancas, and turns Nacho into a mole within the Salamanca organization after discovering that Nacho caused Hector to have a stroke by secretly replacing Hector's heart medication with fakes.
This leads to a series of confrontations that culminate with Jesse killing Gale at Walter's instigation, saving Walter's life by making him irreplaceable to Gus. The relationship between Jesse and Walter falters as a result of Jesse's guilt, enabling Gus to draw Jesse in as an ally.
He died of brain cancer on October 11, 2019, the same day the movie was released, though he appeared in Better Call Saul as Ed posthumously. Ed is one of only two characters to appear in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul (as of season 5), and El Camino, along with Mike Ehrmantraut.
Tuco Salamanca (played by Raymond Cruz) is a psychotic Mexican drug kingpin, and nephew to Hector. He is unpredictable and prone to violent outbursts, and often gets high on some of the drugs that lead to this behavior. In flashbacks during Breaking Bad, it is shown that Hector often punished Tuco along with the Cousins as kids.
In high school, he was an indifferent student in Walter White's chemistry class. Now in his mid-20s, Jesse is Walt's business partner in the meth trade. Jesse is impulsive, hedonistic, and uneducated beyond high school, but he is financially ambitious and streetwise.
Chasing bad guys and serving the law, Hank and Gomie qualify as the highest ideal in the Breaking Bad world. Not only are both men willing to lay down their lives for the law, but Hank also has zero qualms about taking down family if needs be. Gomie is always right there alongside him when it counts.
1 Gus Fring (Lawful Evil) Gus may donate to good causes and only exact a toll on those who he deems deserve it, but he constantly puts lives in danger whether indirectly or directly. No amount of charity outweighs the human cost to his actions. He will sacrifice any and all in the name of his long-sought revenge.
Skyler has the burden of being between Walt and "lawful citizen" all whilst being stuck with him as he spirals. She's too observant and 'cluey' to be fooled and eventually, that means she either has to become complicit or let her family fall apart. No easy answer for her. In the end, she maintains her inherent goodness despite sacrificing her ethical boundaries more than once.
Mike's a former cop putting his formerly lawful skills into nefarious practice. We learn through Better Call Saul that Mike was a corrupt cop in a corrupt system before turning to outright crime. He has a body-count to his name and more than once circumvents the justice of the law for his various employers before and during his tenure with Gus Fring.
Regardless, Jesse consistently feels the pull back towards the light. It may be that he's only pulling back once he sees the worst results of his careening drug career alongside Walt, but Jesse has empathy for the right people, especially kids. He ping-pongs around the law but strives, in the end, to not do harm.
For the right price, Saul Goodman can and will do just about anything as long as his neck isn't on the line. Even seeing where he's come from in his own series it's mostly a matter of playing the game to him, not abiding by laws if they can be circumvented. When you need a criminal lawyer, get a "criminal lawyer."
The cancer-stricken man who always has a plan. Walter White initially seems law-abiding and blandly "good," but his diagnosis and the continual upscaling of risk and reward lead him to become something quite different. By the end, he can fully justify multiple murders to himself. And they were not for defense, but outright gain. Due to the method in his madness, he can't be classified as outright "chaos," but he's crossed the line into "evil."
Breaking Bad, a bold drama about a dying high school teacher who starts cooking crystal meth, premiered on January 20, 2008, and singlehandedly ushered in what many would come to call the golden era of television. The show became a cultural phenomenon.
Could Hank have apprehended his brother-in-law, lawfully seized his mobile devices, and used GrayKey to obtain extractions from those devices to identify numerous nefarious messages between the meth kingpin and his associates? Ultimately, saving his own life, and countless others, by putting White/Heisenberg behind bars? According to a recent survey of GrayKey customers who were asked how quickly they were able to extract critical evidence or data using GrayKey for iOS, 41% of respondents said it took an hour or less.
