Complete story — includes the ending

In a flashback, Jimmy is jailed in Cicero, Illinois, facing multiple charges and sex offender status for a scatological "Chicago Sunroof" revenge prank. Chuck agrees to defend Jimmy if Jimmy agrees to cease running cons and move to Albuquerque to work a legitimate job. In 2002, Jimmy still hopes to represent the Kettlemans and notices Nacho conducting surveillance of their home from his van. Disguising his voice, Jimmy calls from a pay phone to warn them of the impending theft. The next day, Jimmy learns that the Kettlemans have been kidnapped, with Nacho arrested as a person of interest. Nacho accuses Jimmy of setting him up and threatens to kill him unless he proves his innocence. Jimmy comes to believe that the Kettlemans staged their own kidnapping, and based on advice from Mike Ehrmantraut, Jimmy finds them hiding in the nearby hills along with the embezzled $1.6 million.
