I have just finished rewatching the whole better call saul.For 7.5 years, we watched Jimmy McGill as he teetered between good and evil,more accurately, between the hard road and the shortcut. From when he was a young boy in the scene where the conman tricks his father but not him at the family store, Jimmy learned that there are Wolves and Sheep in this life, and that you must choose which one you’ll be. He wanted to be a Wolf. But deep down, he had the heart of a Sheep. He didn’t take the Kettlemans’ money, he was too scared to collaborate with Nacho, he knew it was wrong to exonerate Lalo for the murder of the Western Union employee, and he hesitated to accept the conspiracy against Howard. On the other hand, he always had a tendency toward deception and cons as a way of showing how smart he was,an outplay of every naïve person.

He confesses to every crime, small or large, that has weighed on him his entire life. He frees Kim from all blame. Breaking Good. He admits his crimes and is ready to face the consequences. Besides Kim, three memories regarding regrets also played a significant role in his decision. The first was with Mike when they were carrying Lalo’s bail money through the desert. Jimmy asks him what he would change in his past if he could. Mike instantly replies that he would go back to the day that led to his son’s death, and after that, to the day he first took a bribe. Naturally, Jimmy chooses something that would have made him a billionaire. Money? Is that all? Mike asks with meani
