The whole scene is edited together from two episodes, S06E02 and S06E03, of Better Call Saul. Mike has backup sniper protection for his play against Gus. Ignacio Varga calls Mike Ehrmantrout to speak with Gus Fring about protecting his dad.

I love how Nacho and Mikes relationship perfectly explains why Mike always looked out for Jesse.
Mike actually tried to kill Jesse during their escape after killing the cartel if anything Joaquin Salamanca saved Jesse, rewatch the scene where they entered the car during escape and mike pointed gun at jesse.
@@jpval3484people have said that before. Mike definitely wasn’t pointing it at Jessie he was just lifting his gun up looking around to see if there was anyone else. He wasn’t even looking at Jessie when he did it
Bro, Mike literally urged Walt to kill Jesse in Half Measures, then worked on tracking him down to kill him after Walt instead killed the dealers.
why would gus kill his only alternative to walt, the whole story arc at this point was how jesse could replace walt if gus convinced him to switch loyalties.@@jpval3484
@@wtfudgepudge yeah mike hated him at first because he was going to screw everything up (which he did reaptedly) but it wasnt till after Gus died that he started to look out for Jesse. At that point yeah he probably saw jesse as "kid" in over his head under a Kingpin. At that point he probably saw Jesse was to Walt as Nacho was to Hector and Gus.
If I ever find myself in a situation where some dude is pointing a gun straight at my face, I hope I can be as collected as Mike, dude is totally stone-faced lol
To be fair he probably had a lot of practice on that, the first few times probably didn't go so well
Mike was a marine and a cop for 10 years, so he has a lot of experience
@@mr.estrada Vietnam, no less
He knew he would be fine he has plot armor
You won't be. Even ones that play the game for real, buckle.
I didn't notice until the second time I watched this episode that the sniper was there to protect Mike, not Gus. And it made the scene so much cooler. Mike checkmated Gus, and Gus didn't even see it coming until Mike pointed it out. No matter what happens, Gus is toast if he goes after Sr. Nacho...whether it's Mike in that room, Mike's sniper, Mike's men, or the Cartel.
...and to add insult to injury, Nacho basically tells him that Mike is in control.
nice catch, but how do you know the sniper is not one of the security guys from gus, as usually?
@ayer6658 They protect Gus...but whose guys are they?
Mike tells his guy on the hill to stay sharp and leaves the door open before telling Gus that Lalo isn't coming for him. When Mike tells Gus he can't go after Nacho Sr., Mike shuts and locks the door (the door with a scope pointed at it) before dropping the, "...it's not gonna happen the way you think it is." line to spell it out for Gus.
Gus's reaction to that line is very subtle, but from the second-best poker face in BCS/BB it speaks volumes. All Gus had to do was "say the word," but he didn't because he realized it's not Gus and Tyrus versus Mike. It's Gus and Tyrus versus Mike, Mike's guys, Lalo, Nacho, and the Cartel...which means Mike, for the moment, is in charge...and if Gus (and the audience) still wasn't convinced, Nacho drove the dagger home on the phone with, "I don't need to hear it from you."
Gus didn't have a sudden change of heart about Nacho Sr., he realized he wouldn't make it to his car if he didn't listen to Mike.
@LouSpowells This actually blew my mind, but it checks out. I always thought it was odd the sniper was looking at the door and not the surrounding area, but it makes perfect sense given that context. A poorer show would have spelt it out for the viewer, but this was such subtle storytelling I didn't even see what was ACTUALLY happening.

yeah he basically threatened a military coup lol
Just realized that Mike closing the door is probably a sign to the sniper to stand by, and after closing it he stands right behind the door to mark his location for the sniper.
Good catch!
The sniper works For Mike?
@@Ariel-lb8zgit’s not confirmed, I just had this thought. When Mike says “whatever you think is going to happen now, it’s not going down the way you think” makes me think that he had an exit strategy. He knows the people he is dealing with and it’s very much like him to be prepared for every eventuality
Wow.... Salute to your attention to detail
no he just made some shit up
Imagine Mike picking up the phone and it was just some telesurvey lmao
We were just calling about your car’s extended warranty
@@YoungTCash Yeah
Lol Mike locking the door like, "you have no idea how paranoid I am. Been working this spot for days.".
PLUS THE BARRET 50CAL OUTSIDE
Whats with ppl saying sniper outside? Is there proof theres one?
@@MICROKNIGHT3000start of the video
Bruh did you not watch the first minute of the video?@@MICROKNIGHT3000
Yes, him closing the door is most likely a signal to the sniper to prepare to help him if shit goes sideways. Awesome detail, because closing and locking the door doesn’t actually accomplish anything for Mike unless this is true
Funny enough how the shard of glass Gus breaks shows how insecure and scared he was at that point, later on that one mistake would be used by Nacho to get the upper hand in his final moments
perhaps symbolic, he made a mess and now he has to clean it, brushing his hands may have been washing his hands from this mess
if cleaning the mess meant killing Mike, nachos dad and nacho then so be it
nachos phone call saved 2 of those 3 people
@@iwaswrongabouteveryhthingwith the sniper outside I think Mike would be the only one leaving that room if it came down to it
Mike used the door to subtly send signals to the sniper, my guess is closing the door means he's now confronting gus and if anything happens to him the sniper will shoot gus when he comes out
Yup. Also a signal to Gus, if you think about it…
Sniper? There was a sniper?
"you're not the one i need to hear it from."
"Your dads gonna be okay."
"How do i know?"
"Because i have the best hitmen west of the missisippi"
The glass breaking symbology was great.
The word you're looking for is symbolism.
@@StarWarsMomentsI symbol. You symbol. He she me… symbol. Symboling. Symbology: the study of symbol. It’s first grade SpongeBob!
@@StarWarsMoments A Boondock Saints quote in the wild! I never thought I'd see the day...
Bravo!
I know gus knocking the glass off the table seems like no biggie, but with a guy like that it just shows how shook he actually is atm
I think this ties back wonderfully to Season 4 of “Breaking Bad.” After killing Don Eladio and the other heads of the cartel, Gus leaves Mike behind with the doctor. I think Gus knew that if he went back with Mike, he would have to reveal his plans to threaten Walt and his family. While Mike hates Walt (and would probably accept the fact that Skyler at this point is “in the game”), there is no way that he would tolerate Gus making threats against Walt’s children.
And it ended up being Gus’s downfall. If Mike was with him, Walt would have a much tougher time trying to kill Gus.
Or he left Mike because dudes like 60 and ate a bullet🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️breaking bad/bcs fans are pros at reaching
Mike at that point wouldn’t of cared to an extent but would make sure Gus doesn’t actually kill Walt’s family
Also if Mike was there when Gus came back he wouldn’t of let Walt out so easily and made sure he didn’t interfere with Gus wanting Hank dead
@@mrautismo420why does everybody always say the most obvious things are reaches
It’s not that he intentionally leaves behind Mike to make the threat, it’s that because Mike already isn’t there, Gus now feels comfortable making the threat he always wanted to make. It’s telling how much Gus needed him, because without Mike it all went to shit in a few days
I see this as the scene which influences Gus' light touch (at least at first) with Walt in BB "I dont believe fear to be an effective motivator". Mike basically one ups him here by getting Nachos loyalty as opposed to just threatening him.
Gus was shook, it was the one thing that could go wrong with his plan and it did. It’s like this is the first time something bad happened when he was the one planning.
This is why we love Mike.
I never realized that the reason Mike threatens them with the “whatever happens next, it’s not gonna go down that way” because he had a sniper manned watching the door
I love the parts when Mike is like "do what you want to do and nobody is gonna leave this room alive"
I’m curious what gus was thinking because if nacho realizes his dad is going to die no matter, what he does, he has no motivation to help Gus and every motivation to go to the police
its cool to see gus hearing nacho saying. I don't want hear it from you. Like shit... he is means Mike.. Gus might be dangerous, but Mike is and will things get done.
That was kinda cool when nacho says, You're screwed.
Both Gus and Nacho know Mike's word means everything that they agree on
the reason he closes the door is so the sniper knows he is behind it, he can light up the room after
No way would that sniper take a shot at Gus. Even if he could see inside and guarantee the kill, it would be suicide to kill him, especially if Mike himself dies as well
@@UndeadPasta Nah, Mike probably posted that Sniper just in case his meeting with Gus goes awry. There is no reason otherwise for the sniper to be aiming at the door. Mike probably told the Sniper that if he does not leave that room first, he goes ahead to shoot Gus and Tyrus. Mike's men are more loyal to him than Gus.
@@UndeadPastaKilling Gus isn’t suicide, Salamancas would be for it. Cartel doesn’t hate him but he’s an outsider who’s operation is falling apart at this moment.
I love how Lalo is actually getting some level of respect from Mike. Mike knows exactly how dangerous Lalo is and assuming he was dead was wishful thinking at best. It’s also interesting how much more dangerous Walter is by comparison because he was willing to risk everything all the time which is what ultimately made him successful in getting to Gus.
"You're telling me you didn't have inside help? How did you know about the tires?
Nacho knew Mike understood how the cartel worked. Even if it's just him, there's no way the cartel can make a plan to hurt or kill his dad that Mike hasn't thought of already.
Gus accidently knocking the glass over shows how much of a nervous wreck he is. A guy that cautious, that cool headed knocking over a glass that was easy not to hit. Gus is one bad man, but Lalo scared the crap out of him.
i clicked cause the thumbnail looked like a video game
I always wondered what mikes plan was I imagined the closing of the door had to symbolize something to his men. I also assumed they were listening in and if they heard Mike get shot they would have opened fire on the trailer
Closing the door: "I am here, near the door."
You'd think people would be suspicious that a relatively small chain of chicken restaurants has so many huge trucks. One of those trucks could make deliveries for like 10 restaurants. For context KFC is a real company that's way bigger than Los Pollos Hermanos but how often do you see an 18-wheeled tractor trailer with a Colonel Sanders logo on it? Somebody in the Breaking Bad/BCS universe should have been asking "How much fucking chicken tenders do they need to deliver?!"
They never freeze their chicken so it has to be delivered fast.
it was interesting to see more of mike and gus before breaking bad and how things operated
5:52 I always love this exchange right here.
The way Nacho blatantly tells Gus he doesn't trust him, and then Mike power move, while on speaker, and looking Gus right in the eye, with Tyrus pointing his pistol at him point blank, "Anyone who goes after him will have to go through me."
What do you think Mike' s plan was?
I thought him closing and locking the door was a sign to the sniper saying things arent going well and he should now kill anyone who walks out the door unless mike walks out first. So if it came down to it he probably would have let tyrus walk out who would get shot by the sniper and then mike would go after Gus and Gus would be at mike's mercy.
Manners (locks door) maketh (prepares to snatch the gun away) MAN.
Scenes like this is why you should watch Better Caul Saul first, then Breaking Bad.
For someone as calm as Fring you detect his fear for lalo when he accidentally broke the glass cup
05:58 "Everyone goes after him, has to come trough me" and looks Gus straight in the eyes
I love how Mike thinks lalo was searching for Varga when in fact, he’s using the information for the German engineer
Gus even loses his shit like a professional
"If someone wanna touch him, they will have to get thru me"
That's when Gus knew that Nacho's dad was one of the safest man North the border, nor even him could.
Gus knows Mike isn't someone to play or mess with.
I’m curious, what would happen if nacho hadn’t called then
Then the sniper would have killed them both once they walked through the door without Mike.
@@daninja98 The sniper was Gus’s man
because if anyone comes after your Dad, they're going to have to come through me.
Problem w Mike’s plan is 5 of Gus’s guys caught in Mexico are now 5 guys that can talk about the hit on Lalo. Nor can they fight it out w the cartel which also declares Gus’ intentions.
Just now realizing the guy on sniper duty was the same guy sniped by the cartel in BB. Vince did that on purpose lol
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying?
Papa can you hear me?
Papa can you help not be frightened?
If the agents are watching, David Palacios is also my friend (Vargas Seasoning)
"stay sharp" just stares at door not looking around at all
Nacho is prolly the only character that could hold his ground against Gus
It's literally a video where Mike holds his ground against Gus.
I meant as In he's is probably the sole character that can do it
The phone conversation is off. It’s almost like Mikes responses are responding to a different piece of dialogue.
No you're just slow
Thats how Mike always responds to calls, through simple coded utterances.
I love When Mike and Gus have a disagreement, they fight against each other, but they eventually work together. However, when Walter White disagrees with Gus, they become enemies.
Should have been (Whole scene caught on camera!)
mikie is a nice guy
Wasn't Tyrus supposed to be one of Mike's guys? In Breaking Bad when Walt calls the police on Tyrus stalking Hank's house, Mike gets really angry on Walt for calling the police on one of his guys.
No, Tyrus was originally one of Gus’s top enforcers but since Mike came along he became higher than him in the rankings. Since, Mike became Gus right hand man in breaking bad officially, Tyrus was below him in the chain of command so he reported to Mike.
The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone.
Papa, please forgive me.
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying?
Papa can you hear me?
Papa can you help me not be frightened?
dont talk , fire
Not my call
Was Gus annoyed by Tyrus pulling out a gun without his orders?
No because Mike openly defied Gus who is his boss, so Tyrus is his enforcement
Poor Nacho
Feels like a movie, right? Well.. this kind of stuff happens multiple times a day across the globe.
The good news, it's all about to end. Get ready!!!
My biggest issue with Breaking Bad after Better Call Saul is how in the hell did Walter get Mike? It just doesn't make sense. MIke should have been to smart for Walter to get as far as he did.
That’s what pissed Walter off so much at the end, that Mike had, like everyone else, underestimated Walt’s diabolical nature, and he was going to SHOW him.
Never understood this scene, its very unlike *Gus* Now i understand *Gus* isnt himself here, affraid or lets say worried and rightfully so.
But lets say he strong arms *Nacho* here by using his fathers life against him its not like *Nacho* just magicly apprears, lets say *Nacho* would come running that would actually be very foolish cause the *Salamancas* would in my opinion definitly but lets say highly likely spot him and track him down and use him against *Gus* If they would outright kill his father *Nacho* would surely destroy *Gus* for it as retaliation.
What *Mike* is offering makes alot more sense, even from a practical view. Send *Mike* a highly skilled tracker combined with a small and good support team and he would highly likely find *Nacho* bring him home, keep him out of *Salamanca* hands.
*Gus* is also highly skilled in reading people, their motives interest fears and way of thinking/responding, fact that he even mentions this with *Mike* in the room is outright foolish since he surely knew better and how *Mike* would react, basicly creating a mexican stand off with the consequences of *Mike* being killed a enforcer he highly values as shown and proven in the story, or *Mike* forced to kill his henchmen (also outside etc) and escape after killing *Gus* himself aswell or creating a horrible enemy a enemy that knows *Gus* well and could destory *Gus* his whole operation hes lifes work.
In this whole situation *Gus* is just utterly foolish, short sighted and very hell even extremely unlike himself. If this scene is intended to do that then they really did a great job.
Yeh you don’t understand the scene
Gus probably doesn't want to send any of his guys away when he suspects Lalo is coming for him
My least favorite scene in the BB universe. It feels like no one is behaving like themselves
How so?
Funny as hell they have a 50BMG about 300 yards away. Hollywood doesn't know shit.
its more intimidating. aesthetics like that are part of story telling on the small screen. Quit being the "um ackchually" dork
@@Giantcrabz Hollywood perpetuates myths and lies and doofs believe them. These same doofs get elected and think every gun is an assault rifle that spits out millions of rounds per second .. because John Woo said so. Besides, a 50BMG has such penetration someone with marginal intelligence about weapon systems would know not to use it POINTING at your own guys. It is not more intimidating. The producer/writer/director called for a really big gun and had no idea WTF they were doing. They just wanted something big. It goes to show the intelligence about these systems and the delusion Hollywood has and wants to perpetuate. I like shows like Breaking Bad because of the simulation of reality .. the "it could be" factor. However, when a character like Mike had a "sniper" with a 50cal POINTING his own direction at such close range, it breaks the simulation and shows the insanity of the entire story and knowledge of the buffoons running the show. This is perfect range for a suppressed 5.56, no sound, no large penetration, no friendly fire and loads of men who have practiced making these shots. The weapon system shown in the clip is a $10,000 system. There are not a lot of people trained to hit a target in the middle of friendlies on this system, but there are thousands and thousands trained on a 5.56 to do the same. Besides, if you think a trained marksman with a 5.56 300 yards away is any less "scarry" than 50BMG you're one of the doofs who doesn't know what "gas-operated" means and still wants to weigh in on talking about weapon systems use in media.
Goddamn Mike got old hahaha. Too old for this prequel tbh
They were all too old for this but the producers knew what the fans wanted.
Nacho tells Gus his word don’t mean shit and then later calls him a joke and steals the thunder by telling Hector he was the one who put him in that chair.
Tbf He didn't call gus a joke. He said Gus being involved with setting Lalo up was a joke.
@@epicfan1598 i interpreted as Nacho telling Gus he is a joke and a soulless pig. He couldn’t come right out and say it because it would put his father in danger, but he looked directly at Gus when saying those words. To me, it was Nacho telling Gus off before he went out on his teems
@@epicfan1598 imo he did. He literally said: you think the chicken man? Hah, what a joke. I think that was an indirect insult to gus, while simultaneously covering himself
@@midget420 No he was trying to take the thunder completely off of Gus to protect his own father. If he'd got killed but not been convincing that Gus wasn't involved, then Nacho might be thinking 'Oh Gus will take revenge'. Putting together a solid enough performance, where he sneers at Gus, is a way to try and convince the others that Gus is just some fool that has nothing to do with the set up.
@@yesmate3442 nacho, and anyone in his position, would have developed such disdain and hatred for Gus at this point. If you really think that nachos anger towards Gus was all just a performance, then idk wtf you're thinking
I like how we’re always used to Gus being cold and calculated but he accidentally knocks over a glass because for one of the first times he’s genuinely scared and overwhelmed about what he should do.
Nah.. he just got distracted. Not scared and all this pussy shit.... they probably just got on his nerves...
Nobody talks about the music made for these scenes. Absolute kudos to the people who composed the soundtrack
Most of the music of BCS and BB are composed by Dave Porter
Dave Porter. Absolute goat.
Yeah Dave Porter has a gift. There's a lot of musical range in these soundtracks. 70s blues rock, modern 'spaghetti western ', elevator muzak, the occasional spy sneaker, and of course, the incredible dark tension cues with mysterious, unplaceable sounds. Never distracting, just an amplifier for the emotion of the scene. Certain lines hit so much harder with his little accents.
Terrible sound mixing though, can't hear shit half the scene
@@sleepytattoosI’ve literally never heard anyone complain about the sound mixing on either show before
Tyrus came close to having his windpipe crushed with his pistol here.
worse. im pretty sure mike had a sniper ready
yeah that 50 bmg would have went straight through whatever walls that little room was made of and probably wouldve turned whatever part of tyrus it hit to dust@@rayloc420
Nah. Tyrus keeping his distance, unlike the parking lot cowboy, who actually lunged at Mike making it easy.
@@Nill757 Mike can be blindsided but if you come at him head on, he has ways to get out of it. Tyrus was not in charge here.
@@no_one01-5 Only if Tyrus close enough.
The only thing I don’t totally understand is how mike is able to protect nacho’s dad from the cartel after Nacho tells Hector that he’s the reason he’s in the wheelchair
Exactly. That’s the show making you think. Smart viewers will understand it’s a completely genuine promise that Mike almost certainly can’t keep. These shows are tragedies, after all.
@@GlennDavey though I doubt Hector is going to do something against Nachos father. With the heat Tuco and Lalo have caused recently the last thing any side of them need is another civilian death and having more eyes on them.
@@coals6262 this is what Mike is Jonathan Banking on to make that promise ;) strategic intelligence
I feel like when he made that promise he was assuming Nacho wasn’t going to let Gus hurt his dad. Also, The cartel has too much on its plate to worry about an empty revenge killing of Nacho’s father.
Nacho's already dead. There's no reason to kill his father... It would not achieve anything, wouldn't lead to any strategic move or play.
Badass granpa. The most effective soldier in the show.
"Fear a person who grows old in a profession where most die young"
killes by walt
2:03 Mike’s voice changes from confident strategist to nervous father.
Powerful
He says “it’s our only play” because he knows there is the alternative Gus is considering is to hold Nachos father hostage in case Nacho gets captured, encouraging Nacho not to speak
Nacho's death left me so upset.
He won in the end. Crazy to think that within 4 years, everyone who witnessed Nacho's death was dead. Mike being the last to go.
It was sad but extremely predictable.
@@jamesbell1613i won’t say extremely predictable cause at one point after the failed attempt on Lalo, while Nacho was on the run and at the Motel, Mike and Gus were arguing about going to save him, Mike insisted even but Gus is going to be Gus, Mike felt bad for everything that happened to Nacho cause despite Gus having a gun on his father’s head literally Nacho was still doing everything that he got demanded and he had no choice, all he had to do was play the game. And all he wanted was to be respected and protect his father and dude was hella reasonable as fuck, he was hands down my Fav Character no doubt.
@@Shayno1234 I would say "predictable" in the sense that if you knowingly get involved in cartel business, dying violently is a likely outcome.
@@rabd3721 oh for real
"You don't seem to understand I'm not locked in here with you YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME" Mike
4:27 wait.. is that the guy from Farcry 3!?
It is
Nacho was Mike’s first underworld ‘son’. Jesse was his second.
Oh...the door. Mike tells his guy that if the door shuts, it's all going down, so shoot Tyrus/Gus as they leave. Genius.
Just realised that this opening scene with Nick using sinper rifle is a foreshadowing of his death when he was shot by Gaff in BB.
Which Ep ?
@@rocjones6543 s4e9.
Just so everyone is clear: Tyrus is NOT some punk who Mike can take down as easily as that guy in Season 1. Also, he's several feet away from Mike.
Mike wasn't confident and calm because he thinks Tyrus won't kill him. He probably told the sniper to shoot Gus and Tyrus if he didn't come out with them
Tyrus doesn't decide anything. For all his attitude, he's just a goon, he's expendable, like Viktor is. Gus decides, and Mike is several magnitudes more valuable to Gus, and they both know that and that the other ones knows. Mike knew Gus wouldn't kill him over this, not after going to all the trouble to save his life.
Bingo i think ppl
Forgot about the sniper and the earpiece in mikes ear lol
@@Alknix gus WOULD choose to shoot Mike. If he didn't get that phone call he would have used mike killed because he was in a corner. Without Nacho, years of planning and sacrifice would have been undone. More importantly, the cartel would have butchered him and his crew.
@@shotgun6XAh, but he knew he would get the call. It didn't need to happen that very moment - that was just a dramatic coincedence, Mike could've just told them about it and ask to wait for a few minutes. That was his trump card, and without it he wouldn't have dared to defy Gus. And come on, a sniper to kill both Gus and Tyrus? That's something Lydya could've come up with, not Mike. How is it supposed to work? He'd have to tell them about the sniper, and then Gus would've become his enemy.
@@Alknix He wouldn't have told them about the Sniper. The sniper, ALL of the guys, were hired through Mike. What happened was, Mike knew that Gus would eventually resort to using Nacho's father to get to Nacho, which was the line Mike would not cross.
All Mike had to do was give the sniper, and probably no one else, the order to shoot Gus and Tyrius if Mike didn't follow them out of the house.
Your response implies that I'm just pulling the "Sniper" thing out of nowhere, but I'm not. The show itself SHOWS us the Sniper, and SHOWS us that he's got his sights pointward not Outward, but TOWARD the house. That's film-studies language for "They're in his sights."
The point is that Mike isn't the ultra-badass God that people seem to think he is. He's mortal, he stumbles, he's very flawed in his thinking/morals, and most importantly of all, if Gus was desperate enough then Mike would definitely have died here and there.
This was Mike's "you need me" scene
So badass when Mike walks towards the door but locks it and turns around 😂
"All of us are coming out of here alive, or none of us are."
Crazy how he played vaas in far cry 3 guy. He deserves more spotlight. Great actor
Just the scene I was looking for! Reminds me of the seinfeld bit about how you can't make phone calls dramatic like you used to because of the the little wimpy buttons we use to hang em up. th-cam.com/video/caDNtCG1WsE/w-d-xo.html
The music in this scene is amazing! Fits perfectly this whole sequence and made me feel like some story arcs finally were gonna come to an end. Simply beautiful!
Anyways, the music sometimes could be indescriptible, the best thing you can do is enjoy.
Nice edit
Thanks!
@@GlennDavey You're welcome!
This gives a whole new meaning to how big mikes balls and heart were …. Mike is the definition of balls heart and loyalty
Wrinkly old man scrotum sack
Mike was Saul man before being Gus man that's why he is the best. Best only works with Best
As cool a character as Mike is, he has the moat unrealistic story in the whole thing. A former cop, working as a parking attendant rapidly becomes the chief enforcer and strategist for the biggest drug kingpin in the southern states. Someone that can openly defy him in front of others and face no consequences. Hes also inexplicably the hardest person in the shows, capable of beating the shit out of anyone hand to hand, expert in all firearms and munitions. Expert survival skills. Expert in anything the show needs him to be for plot really. His transition and develolment as a character is also the clunkiest in the show. He was introduced as a kind of "fixer" for Saul to clean up Jesses mess but because of the retconning we know by this point he'd already been the chief enforcer for Gus for quite some time so it begs the question why the hell is he taking odd jobs from Saul helping small time dealers.
Interesting. "Curse of the prequel" and all that. Perhaps... how about this? Gus was already aware of the blue meth guys via Saul ("I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy") and had a vested interest in keeping them out of trouble because he wished to do business with them, so that's why Mike was actually there to solve that problem with Jesse, and not just to do a small-time job for Saul (...or because Bob Odenkirk was unavailable...)
This parallels the moment Walt called Jesse
It's so stupid to get up close to somebody like that where they can reach for your pistol. The whole point of guns is that they're deadly ranged weapons.
Even the way he cleans up is cold and calculated.
I freakin' love this show
the guy in the beginning looking at the pollos truck through the sniper is the same guy from breaking bad who got shot in front of the pollos truck by a cartel sniper
I love Mike, but he is too old to be a believable character.
closes the door and locked it... no
Nachos are much better with pickled jalapenos
The soundtrack to this scene sounds vaguely like the intro to "Damage Inc."
Mike: "Hello?"
Kaylee: "Pop Pop, when are you coming home?"
Mike: "You're Done. You Are Done!"
Gus: "...."
Nacho trusts Mike in big part because he saw how trustworthy he was guarding idiot Pryce's interests, Gus trusts Mike because he saw how loyal and true to his word he is to Nacho.
They trust him because he stood against them in a way.
1:28 look at Tyrus, now look at Mike, now look at Gus....now look at all them at once....pure attention to detail 👌
: Mike's a Proper Legend, as is Jonathan Banks. Gus is a Proper Legend, as is Giancarlo Esposito. Both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are Proper Legends. Holy shit. That's a lot of legends.
You're a Proper Legend too, Marius
Mick is my GO TO MAN 😊
Fr Fr
3:28 onwards music is so on point
Nacho probably knows that someone really going after his father will probably be able to go through Mike. Mike's one guy, he could be busy, he could be dead, any number of things could happen. and yet it's the reassurance that Mike will try that makes Nacho nod. he trusts that Mike cares. even if ultimately, deep down, both of them know the reality.
Idk mikes a bad ass.
