He always knew, but it didn’t matter to him. His only goal was to setup his Granddaughter and Daughter in law so they’d never have to worry about money.
I like how, even though Mike is pretty sure he's going to have to kill them, he gives them every opportunity to not take things that direction. Like, when Mike says "I know you killed him and I can prove it", if they'd responded with "you got it all wrong, let's get you home and we can talk tomorrow" - and actually took him home - then Mike would have concluded they aren't guilty after all. But he gave them the chance and they instead went with taking him to be killed. Even when they were at that remote lot, Mike didn't pull the trigger first; they did. Mike was more than generous with opportunities for them to show their innocence.
naw, man. Mike knows these guys through and through. He knew from Matty that they were corrupt and he knew from experience they were cowardly enough to kill him. There was not a moment in this flashback where Mike was not preparing to end these two.
@@Prof_Pangloss Precisely this. It's why he broke into their squad car and planted the spare gun. The end result we see in the show was always going to be the outcome, Mike had it planned from the start.
@@kingbeauregard he's a killer. I dunno where you're getting that he's some pariah figure who would wait for irrefutable evidence before murdering someone who wronged him or his family.
@@Prof_Pangloss This is the man who tries very hard to keep innocent people from getting caught in the crossfire in 11 seasons of shows. Yeah he's corrupt in a lot of ways, but even up to Drew Sharpe he makes a big distinction between innocent and guilty.
Yeah that string technique wouldn't work on that car with that type of door. It curves in. The string would be at least an inch or two away from the lock and without the ability to swing the rope you couldn't catch the lock at all. Sorry to be a stickler
You can also rock cars back and forth to swing a line. It's not a great method, but I have had to do that before. Loop a string in through the gap on both sides with a slipknot in it, rock the car to get it over the lock, pull, tighten, done.
I just realized... when Mike threads that string around the car door to get the loop around the locking pin, wouldn't the act of pulling the thread to get it through to the base of the window cause the loop to tighten in the first place? How would you get the string threaded down to the base of the window without tightening the loop? For example, imagine flossing your teeth. Put a loop in your dental floss near a finger, and it will tighten when you start flossing, assuming your teeth are close enough to use some force to get it to the gum line. Unless there is a small gap between the car door and the body of the car, but that doesn't sound right, given water could seep in pretty easily if there weren't a solid seal using rubber. Anyone who knows anything about cars, correct me if I'm wrong. But that would be disappointing if true, since Mike's idea would be pretty stupid if that were the case, and kind of ruins the whole plan 😅. I guess there would be other ways to break in without anyone noticing anything peculiar with the car, but I always loved how smart Mike was with that string idea.
You have to wedge something between the car and the door to create a gap. Anything you can wedge in there will work. I've used a little piece of wood, the claw of a hammer. Cops have a balloon type thing they get into the gap and then inflate.
Watching it again though I can see he didn't do that. There's plenty of room to slip a string in there. He'd just have to be careful not to pull the ends and undo the loop. The really hard part would be maneuvering the loop onto the lock, but Mike's a pro.
I have a Toyota duet, manufactured in 1999. And I left my key inside the car and locked it. This technique used to unlock it... And it worked... Thank you Mike for saving the day....!
He’s pretending to be drunk. He took a little bit of alcohol to get the smell on him, but he used his recent reputation of heavy drinking due to grief to catch them off guard.
Mike carefully planned everything and went to great lengths to prepare for these dirty cops to try to kill him but he was miles ahead of them from the get-go. He was a consummate professional through and through. No wonder Gus didn’t hesitate to recruit him.
I actually just commented about this 😂. I think the loop would tighten just through the act of threading the string around the car door to the base of the window, so then it would too tight to fit around the locking pin. How do you use force to thread it around the door without tightening the loop, like with flossing your teeth? Put a loop in your dental floss near a finger, and it will tighten when you start flossing. Unless there is a big gap between the car door and the frame of the car, such that you don't need much force. But that seems like water would get in if you are in a storm or a car wash or something
I love how much outstanding Bloodshed and Brotherhood there was in the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe, then they started Fking with Walt and his Family and everybody got Got. Awesome 👏

he his the 2nd gun The one he uses to kill the two bad cops. he hid it between seats and gets it right after both bad cops exit to "help me get him outta the car"
He broke in to hide his spare gun in the back. They frisk him before they put him in the back, and if I remember rightly he lets them find his gun to ease them into a false sense of security.
0:01 When you switch characters in GTA

That's a good camera play
Switch to Mike

bro look like jason for a sec
That shot when Mike looks over and sees the cops bathed in that ethereal white light... that's when I fell in love with the cinematography of BCS.
yes yes bravo vince bravo
Also, he looked somewhat jaundiced, which often happens to hard alcoholics.
The storytelling and the character development arcs of this show are outstanding. One of the best ever.
The cinematography is fantastic in BB but it’s next level in BCS. The scene where Mike shoots Werner is peak.

Good catch on that. I was thinking he was drinking to numb the pain.

They thought they had Mike, but he already had the drop on them the moment they put him in their car.
Plot twist: They pick him up in a different car.
Mike had the drop on them when they decided to leave their squad car unattended to get drunk.
VRAVO BINCE 👏🎬
I mean. .they could have pulp fictioned him and he probably couldn't have done anything. Didn't even need to plant the gun on him either.
I know he tricked them but I like to imagine that Mike did get drunk out of his mind and still killed these two bastards 😂😂
He pretended to be drunk to cat them off guard
@AmirKhan-yv8jm bro
I guess you're right but why would anyone
I wonder if he had a bladder like Gene Takovic during his scams?
@@EarlMcManus2005 didnt Gene just pretend to drink most of it
They tried to kill him, but he had the final say. Mike dropped!
nah mike dropped them and walt dropped mike
I'd only seen the scene immediately after this one. Now I know how Mike stashed the revolver in their patrol car.
… did you not watch the show?
Just watch the show.
@@paperbackwriter1111 No, I missed it but it's on my to do list.
@@farhorizons3901 It’s a must-see. Stop watching clips and spoiling it for yourself, this episode is one of the best in the whole show.
That's.. Oh man I'm not gonna insult you, but yes watch the show
I bet Mike didn’t think his final resting place would be in a barrel.
Barrel, man. You know plastic, black, 55 gallon type. I got them at Home Depot.
I think he knew with his kinda lifestyle
Papa Nacho: "It never ends"
He always knew, but it didn’t matter to him. His only goal was to setup his Granddaughter and Daughter in law so they’d never have to worry about money.
Such a stupid, obvious, poorly written death.
I could have watched an entire season of Mike going after his son's killers
Why did they killed mike son?😢
@@anapham4724First of all, watch the show. But second of all, they were corrupt cops and thought Mike's son was gonna rat them out.
0:00 That shot is so overly dramatic haha. I love it. Bravo Vince.

no philly cop would ever be in a bar drinking in uniform with their RPC parked outside--never
This!
The first 10 seconds literally looks like the start of a GTA mission
Matty was killed in December 2001 think they said 3 months later so this would be around March possibly Saint Patrick's Day.
Ok
@mrautismo420 They said 6 months so maybe May I seen it snow in may in Michigan so it fits Bravo Vince.
@@METALMAN4WiiAre you okay?

Those old Crown Vic’s have big panel gaps
Well spotted! You are right, flossing the car door would tighten the loop closed, too early.

Who at first thought it was two of the German workers hugging Mike and telling him they know it was him who killed Werner?
Mike pretends to be drunk by walking the same way he always walks. And look as grumpy as usual.

It was an act homie

Wouldn't the knot have tightened when Mike was sliding it through the gap in the door 🤔
God damn, I can see why Anthony Hopkins said this show and breaking bad was the best acting he's ever seen. Not easy playing a drunk authentically.
He said that about Breaking Bad, not Better Call Saul.
Did better caul Saul just told me how to break into some old cars models?

why??
What a setup
police vehicles don’t have car alarms - riiiiight 🤔
No department would ever let two uniformed officers drink off duty, this part threw me off for lack of authenticity. Great scene nonetheless

So are police men allowed to drink during work? Or wearing uniform and driving a cop car while drinking in a bar?
