Photo: ‘Better Call Saul’ The Evil that Men Do “No matter what they do with you now, no matter where they put you or for how long, it will never be enough,” Marie Schrader (Betsy Brandt) bitterly tells Jimmy. Both of the shows created by Vince Gilligan, ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Better Call Saul,’ deal with the irrevocable consequences of the actions of powerful men. Since a lot of what ‘Better Call Saul’ is interested in is the consequences of actions, and the irreversible hurt and damage they do, it is fitting that this last episode delves into this further than ever. The question is raised by the finale, called ‘Saul Gone,’ not just of what the consequences of Jimmy’s actions are, but also of whether or not redemption is wanted or even possible.

A former football lineman in college, Ted Demme was less than six feet (1.8 meters) in height but, according to the coroner's office, "in excess of 200 pounds (90 kilograms)." He reportedly played basketball as often as five times a week. He was known to joke about his shape and size.
