How the hell did Saul...


SPOILERS


Survive... wasn't he in the decoy SUV that went ahead? And Carrie said go ahead. Both SUV's went down. So I thought Saul may have bit the dust. I'm glad he didn't. Poor Quin~

Yeah I didn't get that either, but there were a lot of other vehicles, my guess is the one Saul was in was way up front and it was the middle of the motorcade that got bit by the explosions.

there was a few things that didn't make sense with this finale and yes how did Saul survive was one of them?...

Just sheer will to hang on as long as he could, I think. He knew he had to just stay upright and keep driving even though he was bleeding-out. He was determined not to succumb before he got them out of there.

Brilliant acting and also kudos to the makeup artists who helped give the impression physically.

That's a good point actually -- in real life I hear those cars are basically bullet proof. Quinn actually should not have been shot at all. . . .

Perhaps it's only the official presidential car that's fully protected against gunfire, but Carrie, Keane and Quinn had to get into one of the "lesser" cars for members of staff, and it wasn't built to withstand the firepower?
