As Jimmy and the victim approach, they find Marco unconscious, just like planned. Marco is waiting in the alley when he hears the signal - Jimmy and their victim howling in the middle of the night. Marco is unable to talk Jimmy into staying in Chicago for the long-term, but he reveals that he still has the last Rolex watch from their infamous scam and convinces Jimmy to pull one last con with him. Jimmy explains that he’s not ripping anybody off: he’s building a legitimate practice with clients who depend on him. Marco is amazed that Slippin’ Jimmy is a lawyer - it’s the ultimate way to scam folks out of their money.
Jimmy finally tells Marco that he’s a lawyer and it’s time for him to go back to Albuquerque. As he gets dressed, his cell phone falls out of his pocket, prompting Jimmy to check his voicemail and find he has numerous messages from current and potential clients inquiring about his elder law services. After a week-long binge, Jimmy wakes in Marco’s apartment to a disappointed waitress who was under the impression that she had gone home the night before with Kevin Costner. Off this high, the pair spend the next several days gleefully pulling one scam after another. Laughing and celebrating their reunion, Jimmy and Marco buy a round for the house. After some more conversation, they fall back into old patterns and scam an obnoxious businessman at the bar by concocting an elaborate story to sell him a “rare” half dollar coin for a very high price. Marco seems to be disappointed that Jimmy was in Cicero and did not visit him. Jimmy comments that he had been in town before for his mother's funeral two years earlier, but didn't have the time to check on his friend. The two haven’t seen each other since Jimmy moved to Albuquerque, but Marco is thrilled to see him. Jimmy travels to Cicero and arrives at his hometown bar in Cicero, where he finds Marco dozing.
“I’ve been paying for it ever since,” Jimmy says before abruptly ending the game and striding out the door. This led to trumped-up charges of indecent exposure, which Chuck had to fly to Cicero to clear. With the perplexed Bingo patrons’ rapt attention, he launches into a story about his attempt at a “Chicago Sunroof” - when his ex-wife’s lover stopped by a bar he used to hang out in his BMW, Jimmy decided to defecate through the sunroof of the man's car, not realizing that his children were in the backseat. He soldiers on with stifled rage until his cheerful façade finally cracks. He’s trying to preside over the festivities as usual, but the pain of Chuck’s betrayal finally hits him. She gives him a hug, commending him on how maturely he’s handling the situation with Chuck.Īt the bingo hall, Jimmy calls numbers for a good-humored crowd.
In the parking garage, Jimmy apologizes to Kim for lashing out at her when she advised him to take Howard’s deal. Howard marvels at Jimmy’s dedication to his brother, and reminds Jimmy that he always had a soft spot for him. With a zen-like calm, he also gives Howard a list detailing the errands that he’d been performing daily for Chuck. In the present, Jimmy pays Howard a visit to officially hand over the Sandpiper Crossing case to HHM. Marco bemoans Jimmy’s decision, arguing that the move is a waste of Slippin’ Jimmy’s talents – but Jimmy’s mind is made up, and he leaves.
He tells Marco that he’s moving to Albuquerque to work in the mailroom at Chuck’s law firm. In a flashback to 1992 in Cicero, Illinois, shortly after Chuck has helped secure his release from jail, Jimmy stops by a local bar to say farewell to Marco, his best friend and partner in crime.
