Jimmy is shown disassembling smoke detectors at Everett Acker's house. He is doing this to extract the small amount of the radioactive isotope americium-241 that they contain.
However, as explained in Walter White's Better Call Saul finale scene, the ending is about regret. This is why Jimmy also confesses to the court about his involvement in pushing his brother Chuck to the brink of suicide, even though it technically had nothing to do with Jimmy's RICO case.
He goes from young lawyer Jimmy McGill to the corrupt Saul Goodman and then finally to Gene Takovic, the persona he adopts to avoid the law after the events of Breaking Bad.
The episode, season, and series ends with Gene Takavic getting caught by the authorities and, under his legal name of Saul Goodman, getting sentenced to prison for the crimes he committed in Breaking Bad.
He is stuck, and everywhere he turns, cops are surrounding him. He finally takes to hiding in a dumpster, trying to scramble for his phone to call Ed the Disappearer. But his luck seems to have run dry, and he fumbles everything he's holding. That's when the police find and capture him.
After Walt tries one last time to intimidate Saul into doing his bidding, his cancer rears its ugly head in a series of coughs that bring him to his knees and let Saul know big bad Heisenberg is no more before he leaves for his new life in Omaha.
Afterward, he returns to his "office" – the boiler room of a Vietnamese beauty salon – where he finds a check from Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill (HHM). Jimmy tears up the check and later accuses the partners of offering a token payment to cheat his brother Chuck McGill out of his share of the law firm.
Even though Jimmy tries to be optimistic in his talk with Kim, the reality is that he received an 86-year sentence for his crimes in Breaking Bad. This was designed to give Jimmy no way out since he fully confessed to everything in Better Call Saul's finale, which means any future deals are off the table.
A Chicago Sunroof is not a real thing.
Ruth on her deathbed with Chuck and Jimmy at her side. On her deathbed, with Chuck at her side, Ruth briefly awoke and called out for Jimmy.

After being sworn in, Saul pulls a 180 and confesses to all of his crimes with Walter White, almost bragging about how Walt couldn't have built his drug empire and stayed out of prison without him. Saul also confesses about how he sabotaged his brother Chuck McGill's (Michael McKean) career, which led to his suicide.
In the finale, however, Jimmy 'returns'. Halfway through his sentencing hearing, Saul diverts from his 'victim' speech, admits to being a key part of Walter White's drug empire, to falsifying statements about Kim's role in Howard's death and to triggering brother Chuck's suicide.
