I like how Saul thought he might be able to discourage them from hiring him by establishing a high fee and Lalo just paid him straight out of his pocket
I love seeing the earliest version of Saul. He is trying everything in his power not to work with these *very* illegal business, coming up with a value that sounds absurdly large for him, $7925. Four years down the line, we see the more experienced and cold-hearted Saul doing the opposite, charging $80k from Walt and Jesse just to keep Badger from being killed, which was his original intention.
One of my favorite bits of trivia about Lalo's actor is he was a fan of the original Breaking Bad and always wondered who this mysterious Lalo was. He of course never even could have dreamed he would one day be Lalo. And he always brings his A game to the role. I love the character so much.
@Simulation algorithm Keeping one of your guys alive while preventing him from singing and having someone take the fall is worth the 80k any day of the week
Anyone who's watched BB before this understands those high up in the Cartel business have so much money, that they can't spend it all(both from excess and legally). That's what makes Gus's chicken operation so brilliant. It allows a lot of that cash to be laundered and at the same time, as bases for distributing drugs/other products. Money is simply a tool for a more important thing the cartel desires: Power.
“How’s your lovely abuelita?” That look from Lalo tells that she most likely passed away, and Tuco wasn’t there because of Mike and Nacho. Notice too that Lalo immediately changes his tone afterwards. Writing like this should be Standard for shows and movies. So much Detail from the actors and shots it’s unreal.
I was curious and google'd to find out that the actress who plays Abuelita passed away back in 2017. Her name was Miriam Colon. I think it was better to not straight up answer the question and rather have the quick little glance from Lalo.
@@SODAMEiSTER I agree and it also explains why Tuco is so aggressive when we meet him. Mike and nacho ironically were responsible for Tuco being as unhinged as he was in breaking bad. Granted he was already on a course to be that guy, but losing his grandmother while he was at prison must’ve been the last nail in the coffin for his sanity.
I love how Lalo is still a man of honor. When Jimmy initially turns it down, Lalo stands up, it's a subtle way of using his position to slightly intimidate Jimmy into persuasion, but he alleviates that tension immediately with his charisma, by opening his arms palms out and smiling and positively reinforcing Jimmy's talent. It's a nice little mind trick of playing on Jimmy's ego. But then when Jimmy starts talking price, Lalo sits back down and goes more on the attentive side, another way of alleviating the tension, implying that he's listening and open to negotiation. I love that they wrote him more as a calculating manipulator rather than just relying on intimidation.
"it's a subtle way of using his position to slightly intimidate Jimmy into persuasion, but he alleviates that tension immediately with his charisma" Too bad it didn't work the same way during "the Howard Hamlin's incident" XDD
All the way from Saul’s throwaway line in the Breaking Bad episode Better Call Saul, to this scene far along into the prequel series where that line begins to develop new meaning. This show is an experience.
This actor is almost the only one in the main cast who is a native Spanish speaker. Rest of the suppposed Spanish speakers say their Spanish lines in a forced way. Only Lalo says them in a way that sounds natural.
Lalo is one of the coolest villains ever put on television. He's so charismatic, infectious, and terrifying all at the same time. Expert characterization.
What I love about Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is that these writers know how to make long dialogue scenes engaging. It is always a treat to watch charismatic characters clashing wits.
Yeah definitely a testament to their ability that I just want to watch the characters talk and develop more than the insane schemes and scams they come up with.
I like how Lalo instantly clocked Saul as a two-faced manipulator. He starts off singing the same way he did for Nacho but as soon as Saul mentioned Tuco and his “Abuelita,” that was the nail in the coffin. Lalo was like “Sympathy and humor. That’s his poker face. I’m gonna chip away at it.” Notice he doesn’t concede anything to Saul in this interaction. He just smiles and goes “No. THIS is what you’re gonna do.” Not since Chuck has any character in the show had Saul’s number like this before.
@@cactuss33ds honestly i think Saul tried to highball in a desperate attempt to make them back down. And Lalo just went "here's the money and a tip for you" just to signify how little that was to him
@@saintjames5816 I mean from what we've seen from his time in Mexico he never moves alone and even if he did get robbed the cartel would probably just send a few thugs after a few suspects, I mean it is their own turf as it was implied in the show
Compliments work better at intimidating than insults. When Lalo stands up and says "you're the guy for this" Saul becomes extremely uncomfortable because his body language is threatening but his words are soothing and reaffirming.. The writers fully understand social anxiety and intimidation really well in this scene. I can feel the social anxiety Saul is feeling in this scene
Notice how Lalo stands up at 2:51 to intimidate a hesitant Jimmy into being their middle man and then sits back down when he says yes. He conveys threat without even saying a word, he just needs a change of pose and a slight change in speech. Amazing details like these are ALL OVER these series if you care to look for them.
@@mpforeverunlimited Nah, he knew that whatever rate he would've told them, they would've either agreed or told him to cut the crap and charge less if it was just an unreasonable amount. He probably thought, "since they're pretty much gonna force me to do this, I might as well charge them a lot"
Tony Dalton does so good as Lalo. The “For your trouble, let’s make it 8” is like a foil to Saul. He’s the sweet talker of the cartel, and gives Jimmy a bit of security in the way he addresses him there. The acknowledgment that Jimmy is intimidated and a “you’ve got a friend in me” tone. A master manipulator.
Thank goodness for the person that knew CPR and kept Bob going until paramedics arrived. I hope to see more of Odenkirk's work in the years to come from series like these and from more "Nobody's". Stay healthy Bob!
It adds a lot of mystery, are they even related, does he not care, is it just intimidation? Lalo is so unpredictable that's what makes him frightening.
I love how similar Jimmy & Lalo are, both respectively charming, funny, upbeat guys, lalo's just more chaotic, hands down my favourite characters in the series (alongside gus).
3:48 I just love Lalo's face here, right after he was seriously ready to negotiate the 'expensive' fees of Jimmy and he drops the not even 8000$ on him, he's like "..wait, really?"
I like how Lalo is one of the very few people, in both series, to actually laugh at Saul's jokes. Even though Lalo considers him to be the equivalent of a cockroach due to his cowardice, since they're both deceptive charmers, I think a part of him recognised a kindred spirit.
It’s scary because you know the friendly demeanor is just a facade and that he will gouge out your eye with a spoon and not think twice about it. Tuco, and to a lesser extent, the twins will kill you, but at least theyre predictable. You can easily tell that Lalo is the smartest and most charismatic of the bunch, which makes him more dangerous.
What strikes me is that Nacho is the one who insists on dragging Jimmy into this. It's not enough that he's the one who recommended him to Lalo, he has to be the one that shoots down an excuse for him to get out
It’s pretty incredible how this scene is both extremely funny and very dark, considering that jimmy has essentially signed a deal with the devil (especially knowing what comes later)
I know that at this point Jimmy is still supposed to be naive to who he is dealing with but I still found it surprising that he didn’t throw out an actual absurdly high fee to take on this job
He thinks he did. He still hasn't fully grasped that the criminal world moves millions like it's nothing since he only deals with small time offenders. That's why he says it slow and pushes to 7900. If they had raised an eyebrow he'd have backed down. The fact that he still charged them after being basically kidnapped is already an achievement
he was too scared of maybe disrespecting them to ask for more lol he thought they were gonna f him up or smt. Later when he saw 7 mil for Lalo is nothing he charged way more
It's amazing how everything about how Jimmy became Saul ties back to the first episode. Lalo and Natcho knew Jimmy because of the events of the first episode. And if not for Lalo Saul wouldn't have got the clients he got.
Lalo is aware of how little knowledge Saul has of the wealth of his drug business and uses it to get his own way in every scenario. No price is off limits because he knows saul will not be even close to approaching their budget limit
The cartel makes billions a year. Eladio has ruled for a long time and the Salamancas were captains and lieutenants by his side. It's not impossible for them to have hundreds of millions at this point.
I love how at 0.46 Lalo walks to the chair, but does not take the direct path. Indeat he takes a few steps in Saul's direction, probably to intimidate him or just see how he reacts and Saul doesn't back down. I am so pumped for the 6th season
I legitimately won’t be upset at the pace of this upcoming season, they’ll know what will need to be told quickly and what will need to be told slowly.
Breaking bad season 5 felt more rushed. This one seems like it has a logical and well composed ending. The conflicts to be resolved are as follows. Nachos betrayal Gene's future Saul and Kim's relationship Gus' schemes against the cartel They'll probably finish the better call saul arc first and then conclude the gene arc in the second half
@@lunch77 they wrote themselves into a corner with that machine gun. Season 5 was 16 episodes and it was a completely new arc. New antagonists, a new business model. Plus the second half of season 5 was completely luck based. Hank was about to tell raimi who heisenberg was before he heard about jesse in lock up. Walt was just a minute too late to his house as jesse and hank left. Walt told jack and his crew not to come but never explained that the cops arrived. Stuff like that made season 5 of breaking bad feel fake. I know walt always thrived on his luck but the chance factor in season 5 wasnt realistic. When marie is the voice of reason, you know the writers took a wrong turn.
@@JESUSLIVESAMEN I don’t *necessarily* agree the Machine Gun opening to the season was bad move, I love it, but trust me. I respect your opinion a lot. I love unique opinions about my favorite shows.
2:46 when Lalo realised Saul was trying to refuse the job, he looked at Nacho like "I thought this guy would pick this job up in a second" and Nacho shook his head back "Let me convince him first before you do anything to him"
You know this guy is colder than Tuco when Saul asks "how's your abuelita?" And Lalo just ignores the question and gets right to whatever agenda he has. God I wish he would have been in BB.
The actress for Abuelita died around the time of season 3. We could assume that she was canonically dead by that time as well. Lalo clearly understood that Saul was trying to deflect from the actual matter, but was probably a little sorrowful knowing that the only person who could calm Tuco down was dead. He isn’t a psychopath, he’s shown emotion plenty of times in the series
Hi. I’m Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do. And so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, every man, woman, and child in this country is innocent. And that’s why I fight for you, Albuquerque! Better call Saul!
I love Lalo's 'here we go/the BS already starts' look in the mirror upon hearing Saul's "family resemblance" attempt at flattery. Lalo already had Saul figured out just from hearing about how he smooth-talked Tuco out of leaving nothing but two bloodstains out in the desert.
Lalo is most dangerous when he hangs in the shadows... He doesn't have to hide behind the smile, and his tone is so much more volatile. He doesn't even raise his voice, but his delivery is very deliberate... like a warning ⚠️
I think Lalo’s face was priceless when he repeated $7,925😂. For your trouble, lets make it 8 (out of the cash I carry around with me, in my pocket😂). BTW, later on, I am prepared to fork over $7 million dollar in cash as bail money🤣🤣
I like how Saul thought he might be able to discourage them from hiring him by establishing a high fee and Lalo just paid him straight out of his pocket
$8000 is nothing for salamancas LOL
lol
Lalo looked like he was expecting Jimmy to ask for at least $15,000+ dollars
Yeah ,Jimmy thinks he's low rent criminal then later on with that $7 million dollar bail / Lalo - "I can do that'
Jimmy accidentally low balled himself 😂
The way he says “maybe later” after the swallowing condoms filled with heroin line makes me laugh every time.
With any other writers, that's just a joke. With Vince Gilligan and his crew, you have wonder if that line is coming back around this season.
I was looking for this comment😂, and Saul’s expression after is equally gold
Maybe drag a couple bags of cash across the desert
@@jack002tuber The swallowing seems like a better deal than almost dying in a desert
@@volumeturneddown9600 Can't disagree
Lalo knows talent and potential when he sees it. Anybody who can talk Tuco down like that is useful.

never charm the charmer

"Don't bullshit, a bullshitter"
Jimmy learned from the best.
Bro wut, Saul wasnt using any charm here, he was terrfied of both of them
The nervous “I hadn’t noticed” from Jimmy when Lalo mentions Tuco’s temper might be my favorite line of the entire series
I hadn't noticed that... I had to listen again 0:25. "I hadn't noticed"??? That's _hilarous!_
It's more like a Stockholm syndrome type of response.
He probably thought lalo was testing him to see if he’d insult his family members as an outsider

I love Sauls reaction to Lalo saying "maybe later" like he knows he's joking but a part of him is actually worried about that
Lalo made season 5 so much better.
Lalo made the entire universe so much better imo. To think he and Nacho started out as random names from Saul in one scene in breaking bad
he was the best part of BCS in my opinion
He made whole series better
@@jessenokka4813 this show would be trash without lalo and nacho . lalo saved this dying show
@@TElias5 bob odenkirk and rhea seehorn could have carried this show easliy
I was waiting for them to upload this scene - its so great. Saul and Lalo's interactions are always great!
3:48 I just love Lalo's face here, right after he was seriously ready to negotiate the 'expensive' fees of Jimmy and he drops the not even 8000$ on him, he's like "..wait, really?"
Watching Lalo on screen can make you almost want to work for him too.
Insane charisma.
I like how Lalo is one of the very few people, in both series, to actually laugh at Saul's jokes. Even though Lalo considers him to be the equivalent of a cockroach due to his cowardice, since they're both deceptive charmers, I think a part of him recognised a kindred spirit.
Goddamn, Lalo . . . .I don't think I've ever seen a villain that's so scary without actually doing anything
He did a few things tho
I believe he has done a lot of terrible and probably difficult things so his "fame" ahead of him. In his circle.
It’s scary because you know the friendly demeanor is just a facade and that he will gouge out your eye with a spoon and not think twice about it.
Tuco, and to a lesser extent, the twins will kill you, but at least theyre predictable. You can easily tell that Lalo is the smartest and most charismatic of the bunch, which makes him more dangerous.
0:14 hahaha. Just look at Lalo's face when Saul says "family resemblance"
02:46 Imagine how much trust Lalo had in Nacho, he even listen to the guy... thats heartbreaking...
What strikes me is that Nacho is the one who insists on dragging Jimmy into this. It's not enough that he's the one who recommended him to Lalo, he has to be the one that shoots down an excuse for him to get out
if nacho havent worked with tuco or hector before i figured he would be enjoying working with lalo
It’s pretty incredible how this scene is both extremely funny and very dark, considering that jimmy has essentially signed a deal with the devil (especially knowing what comes later)
I love that before Saul is finished with his first sentence, Lalo already knows everything about Saul’s character. He has incredible perception.
Jimmy’s charm could work on mast people like Tuco but Lalo nope
This show goes to another level when Lalo enters the picture
Lalo is such a amazing character
was...
Lalo is one of the greatest characters ever written and acted on tv. Perfect casting and amazing dialogue.
The "maybe later" line and Saul snappin' out of it is legendary
I know that at this point Jimmy is still supposed to be naive to who he is dealing with but I still found it surprising that he didn’t throw out an actual absurdly high fee to take on this job
He was scared shitless hahaha
He thinks he did. He still hasn't fully grasped that the criminal world moves millions like it's nothing since he only deals with small time offenders.
That's why he says it slow and pushes to 7900. If they had raised an eyebrow he'd have backed down. The fact that he still charged them after being basically kidnapped is already an achievement
he was too scared of maybe disrespecting them to ask for more lol he thought they were gonna f him up or smt. Later when he saw 7 mil for Lalo is nothing he charged way more
This is over a decade ago when even 8 grand was more than it is today
He wanted that job
It's amazing how everything about how Jimmy became Saul ties back to the first episode. Lalo and Natcho knew Jimmy because of the events of the first episode. And if not for Lalo Saul wouldn't have got the clients he got.
If only Betsy Kettleman would have signed that document…
Lalo is aware of how little knowledge Saul has of the wealth of his drug business and uses it to get his own way in every scenario. No price is off limits because he knows saul will not be even close to approaching their budget limit
“7 million… I can do that”
The cartel makes billions a year. Eladio has ruled for a long time and the Salamancas were captains and lieutenants by his side. It's not impossible for them to have hundreds of millions at this point.
0:47 the sound in the background and the way the light falls on Lalo is reminiscent of Gus when he defeats Lalo. The hidden foreboding.
Lalo es el mejor! alguien más tiene esa sensación de que no quiere que ese personaje termine mal, es que simplemente es el mejor villano.
I love how at 0.46 Lalo walks to the chair, but does not take the direct path. Indeat he takes a few steps in Saul's direction, probably to intimidate him or just see how he reacts and Saul doesn't back down.
I am so pumped for the 6th season
You know the tension is super high in this scene, when u can hear every bit of noise from the chair and see Saul being that nervous. Just brilliant!
Lalo is so good at being bad. So many unanswered questions and loose ends to wrap up. Can't wait for season 6!
netflix has s6 ep1 April 18th, 2022.
@@lapacesiaconvoi Thanks.
Jejeje
2:18 If that was Tuco, it was have been "Stop Helping!"
Love how they already had so many amazing actors playing great characters and then Tony Dalton joins the cast.
It seems like the show has a lot of story left to tell and just one remaining season, can expect a goated conclusion for an all time great show.
I legitimately won’t be upset at the pace of this upcoming season, they’ll know what will need to be told quickly and what will need to be told slowly.
Breaking bad season 5 felt more rushed. This one seems like it has a logical and well composed ending.
The conflicts to be resolved are as follows.
Nachos betrayal
Gene's future
Saul and Kim's relationship
Gus' schemes against the cartel
They'll probably finish the better call saul arc first and then conclude the gene arc in the second half
@@JESUSLIVESAMEN Controversial opinion Season 5 was rushed but I respect it fully. I do believe Season 6 of Better Call Saul will be superior.
@@lunch77 they wrote themselves into a corner with that machine gun. Season 5 was 16 episodes and it was a completely new arc. New antagonists, a new business model. Plus the second half of season 5 was completely luck based. Hank was about to tell raimi who heisenberg was before he heard about jesse in lock up. Walt was just a minute too late to his house as jesse and hank left. Walt told jack and his crew not to come but never explained that the cops arrived.
Stuff like that made season 5 of breaking bad feel fake. I know walt always thrived on his luck but the chance factor in season 5 wasnt realistic.
When marie is the voice of reason, you know the writers took a wrong turn.
@@JESUSLIVESAMEN I don’t *necessarily* agree the Machine Gun opening to the season was bad move, I love it, but trust me. I respect your opinion a lot. I love unique opinions about my favorite shows.
2:46 when Lalo realised Saul was trying to refuse the job, he looked at Nacho like "I thought this guy would pick this job up in a second" and Nacho shook his head back "Let me convince him first before you do anything to him"
You know this guy is colder than Tuco when Saul asks "how's your abuelita?" And Lalo just ignores the question and gets right to whatever agenda he has. God I wish he would have been in BB.
I think he ignores it bvoz abuelita is dead, he doesn't wanna talk about it
Lalo saves his Salamanca craziness for special occasions.
The actress for Abuelita died around the time of season 3. We could assume that she was canonically dead by that time as well. Lalo clearly understood that Saul was trying to deflect from the actual matter, but was probably a little sorrowful knowing that the only person who could calm Tuco down was dead. He isn’t a psychopath, he’s shown emotion plenty of times in the series
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 we could assume but I'm not gonna lol either way sucks she died, RIP.
How relieved Saul is, when Lalo tells him they have a legal problem 😂 I love the humor in BCS and BB
03:35 Saul: Around seven million.
Lalo: Ok, I can do that. But you have to pick them up.
"They wheeled out of there..."
Jimmy downplaying his own achievement. He saw where this was going before it even started.
Nah he was just correcting him
Lalo - What an awesome character. One of the nicest scary guys or scariest nice guys ever.
Hi. I’m Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do. And so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, every man, woman, and child in this country is innocent. And that’s why I fight for you, Albuquerque! Better call Saul!
I love that when lalo says "maybe later" saul still feels like its a possibility lol.
Howards brain will explode when he finds out what Jimmys really up to
@@richardlyman2961 💀💀
@@richardlyman2961 yeah, that’s the joke.
Bro felt so bad for him he added a $75 tip😭🙏🏻
Lalo is one of the most charismatic characters ever.
I love Lalo's 'here we go/the BS already starts' look in the mirror upon hearing Saul's "family resemblance" attempt at flattery. Lalo already had Saul figured out just from hearing about how he smooth-talked Tuco out of leaving nothing but two bloodstains out in the desert.
"I hadn't noticed"
When asked about Tuco's temperament is probably the biggest lie Saul's told in his entire life and that's saying something
I think Lalo is one of the best villains ever seen on screen. He out-villained all the other Salamanca's. Incredible work by actor Tony Dalton.
Tony Dalton is Jack Nicholson level talent
When Lalo stands up, stares at you and says "You're the guy for this", you know you're perfect for the job.
"How expensive?"
"$7925"
"Hold a sec, let me check under the couch."
"They wheeled out actually" He just can't help himself. The man with the mouth. Love it!
“He’s got a temper huh?”
“I hadn’t noticed.” 😂😂😂
Lalo is most dangerous when he hangs in the shadows... He doesn't have to hide behind the smile, and his tone is so much more volatile. He doesn't even raise his voice, but his delivery is very deliberate... like a warning ⚠️
seeing saul meet someone who matches his charisma makes for interesting television. Watching him deal with someone like lalo is fun to watch lmaoo
The look in Jimmy's face when Lalo says "Maybe later" made me nearly cry with laughter
Love how at the "Maybe later..." joke, Lalo laughs but Jimmy just grimaces like it's a threat
Lalo is a boss! Love that character so charismatic and evil at the same time.
Man the cast wasn't kidding about how good Tony Dalton was as Lalo
"Once you're in, you're in." Nacho never forgot about Jimmy.
I think Lalo is the scariest bad guy in the history of on screen bad guys. He’s like a detective, genius and a murderous serial killer in one.
0:08 the shaky breath once he realizes he's talking to Tuco's family, great acting
0:21 Even everything happened saul still says he has good heart😂
He says huge bruh
I think Lalo’s face was priceless when he repeated $7,925😂. For your trouble, lets make it 8 (out of the cash I carry around with me, in my pocket😂). BTW, later on, I am prepared to fork over $7 million dollar in cash as bail money🤣🤣
Considering that money pile which Marco and Leonel took money from, he probably would have anticipated a much higher bail.
When someone pulls out $8k out of their pocket, you’re undercharging them.
