“Con Man Albuquerque” is what everybody searched on Google after watching the second-last episode of Better Call Saul.

It happened with Huell Babineaux and, of course, with the website where you can save Walter White, so the question is: what comes up on the Internet if we search “Con Man Albuquerque”? Let’s understand together.
What video did Marion see after searching “Con Man Albuquerque”?
When the old lady Marion searched “Con Man” and “Albuquerque,” she found one of the numerous commercials Saul Goodman made when he was trying to build his career as Saul Goodman. The commercial Gene saw in that scene, the video we can see reflected in his glasses, is the one you find below.
After Episode 12 of Better Call Saul Season 6 was released, many fans went under this video, commenting about how dangerous it was for Saul Goodman to keep this commercial on the Internet after becoming Gene.
What’s the meaning of “con man”?
According to the Oxford dictionary, a con man is “a man who cheats or tricks someone by gaining their trust and persuading them to believe something that is not true.” That means that, after Saul became wanted by the law, the media spread his image as a famous con man of Albuquerque, and that’s how Marion found the truth.
