Better Call Saul 6x12 – Marion Calls Police on Gene (Full Scene)

Better Call Saul 6x12 – Marion Calls Police on Gene

Marion Discovers Saul Goodman

[butteredtoast]

Theory: Marion actually discovered who Gene is by watching Breaking Bad

[tilinfinity]

They really took a comic relief character and made him a complex, nuanced, tragic figure without it ever feeling forced. This show is unreal

[BatmanHQYT]

Jimmy's downfall coming from an elderly woman he befriended as a con is incredibly poetic justice, given everything that happened with Sandpiper.

[samfilmkid]

Seeing him wrap up the phone cord like that was, for me, actually the most disturbing moment in the entire series. Jimmy was always a con man but a murderer? Even just a threat was something we couldn't imagine Jimmy doing. "Not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy!"

[ergob]

And to think Jimmy McGill was once the champion of the elderly and enjoyed playing bingo with them.

[ColeThatcher]

Marion saying "and his name is SAUL GOODMAN!" sent chills down me. He's as good as gone

[salyorgurry]

Saul's face when he sees the commercial is truly heartbreaking.

[SAKOKAIAS]

I cried when Marion said, “His name is Better Call Saul and he’s Breaking Bad!”

[Smith-sznt]

This is the exact moment Saul Goodman realizes he's Saul Badman. Vince is a genius.

[paulkem]

My heart broke when she told him "I trusted you." And you can tell after she said it, the humanity came back to Saul's face and he backed off. Absolutely masterful performances from both Bob Odenkirk and Carol Burnett.

[sackchief]

Gene seeing his old commercial in color for the first time is definitely one of the best shots in the series. It’s like we waited seven years for this moment.

[BrickFORCEStudios]

It's crazy how 'funny cat videos' turned out to be a Chekhov's gun of this scene. Gilligan and Gould are masters in storytelling

[carsonyoung]

Carol Burnett is so good. Holding back tears as she says "You tell me". Perfectly conveying the sadness of a woman who just wanted companionship and a friend and got screwed over

[kdonz]

This reminded me of when Walter Jr called the police on Walt, and Walt ended up running literally the same way Gene did. God this show is amazing!

[j.prspctiv]

I really got scared when he pulled the wire and wrapped it around his hands.

[ntlenny]

0:47 I love that the words Gene hears before reaching for the laptop were "You are under arrest!" His fate was already sealed.

[omnibeet]

Imagine finding out the kind man you just met is actually the most wanted man in America and then he shows up looking through your window. Straight out of a horror movie

[BatmanHQYT]

I never thought this show would make Saul seem SCARY, but here we are. Absolutely terrific acting from Bob Odenkirk and (especially) Carol Burnett here, my heart was just pounding. And that color reflection of the Saul ads in Gene's glasses, calling back to the BCS pilot? Chef's kiss.

[TurdFurggison]

90 year old Carol Burnet absolutely killed it in this episode.

[disappointedoptimist]

I like to think that "I trusted you" still hits him so hard because he was only able to be unapologetically Saul Goodman for several years before this because no one actually liked or trusted him for real beyond him being useful and entertaining, that at any time someone (other than Kim) being shocked by him and expecting better could have caused him to rethink, but they never did, he spent years of his life being seen only as a character, and as Gene he played his part too well and finally for the first time in far too long someone sees him as a person.
