[@Its_Higgo]

This scene uses the same music from S3E04 where Gus is talking to Mike about Hector and how “a bullet to the head would be far too humane.” Showing his vulnerability and true feelings about the Salamanca’s to Mike again here. The way he says Revenge is amazing and because Mike once got revenge on the two dirty cops killing his son it makes so much sense why he is going to choose to work for Gus again. I love this show!

I’m case anyone was wondering, the fountain says dedicated to Max. Max was Gus’ partner in making Pollos Hermanos. He calls this place a “memorial” because his partner had been killed by Hector Salamanca as shown in a Breaking Bad episode. This is why Gus hates Hector Salamanca so much and wants revenge.

[@xK0VI]

Who could come up with that? Except for everybody with 3-digital IQ who watched Breaking Bad.

I guessed at that connection, because the camera focused on it. Loved Breaking Bad, but I'm liking Better Call Saul more.

[@ThreesiXtydegreeS]

What boggles me is how Gus was able to find out that Mike killed those two cops in Philly.

[@Jdb63]

Good point!

[@heybos4640]

Gus probably has connections. And the story is very well known to the cops. So there isnt really a surprise here. The cops have the same information and Gus is no dummy

[@vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758]

Not that hard to be honest. From a background check he knows that Mike has a dead son, that said dead son was a cop in a corrupt police station and that his two partners were misteriously murdered and the philadelphia police suspects Mike. Gus knowing what Mike is and what he is capable of, its not that hard to deduce what happened.

[@davidpohl9774]

It’s not like it was not known. The investigation team sent from Philly in the first season pretty much knew it. The young detective wanted to solve the case. The older black detective basically stopped him. My impression was the investigation was just going through the motions to close the case. Just to check I whether Mike did some huge mistake. He didn’t so the happily put it to the cold files section.....

[@stabcityblues5264]

Also Gus has lots of connections in police station as shown in both BCS/BB (as honest owner of Los Pollos)

[@giovannitv5620]

JESUS CHRIST The delivery of the line "Revenge" is one of the best acting I have ever seen from Giancarlo. The amount of rage, anger, power and imponence in that only word is freaking unbelievable. Best scene of the season so far.

If you look into PayDay 2 (a game) He hires you to do heists, n you get to hear more of him in that cool voice lol I only just found out that game had live action trailers, and he's in the first video in a compilation of them Oh and ya, sick game. I also only put together that it was him (the actor at least) bcuz of those videos

[@EverGreen1888]

Every word out of Mike's mouth in this scene is a question or ends with one, until he's hit with "revenge". Mike in Breaking Bad doesn't ask questions. The writing in this series is phenomenal

[@stromboli_IS_ALIvE]

I'm really liking the direction they're taking with Mike's character this season. He seems more critical of Gus and asks hard questions. I believe it has something to do with the whole Werner situation. I think Mike really liked him and deep down is still angry he had to kill him.

[@zekeiwa5837]

"I believe it has to do with Werner" Wow, easy there, Sherlock.

[@WayneMercy]

“I believe it has to do with Werner” Wow, easy there, Einstein. How in the world did you come to that conclusion? Everyone else thought it was because los pollos hermanos took too long to respond to mikes complaint via their email system.

Gus is a master manipulator. He could really understand how people are motivated. Schuler : Through bravery. Lydia: Through sustainability. Mike: Through revenge. Gale: Through kindness. Walt: Through responsibility. Jesse: Through purpose. Nacho: Through blackmail. If Saul was on the list, it would be through money.

[@Godfather9814]

He meant different in that he doesn't involve innocent people in his business operations. Nacho was in the game, so he knew the risks for the rewards. But the Salamanca's have no problem pushing and killing random civilians to get their way. Of course, that's not why Gus himself is against Hector or the cartel, but that is how he conducts his own business. It's more leverage he can use to get Mike on his side.

[@ChicagoPaul2020]

@MRAnthony CJ I don't want to cross any of their paths, don't get me wrong, but that being said, I'd MUCH rather deal with Gus over the Salamancas. The Salamancas are just evil, Chaotic evil even, where as Gus comes off as more Lawful Evil, or even Chaotic Neutral. Gus is brutal and calculating and relentless, but only really to those who are playing the same game as him. If you're uninvolved, a civilian, innocent, etc, he wants no harm to come to you, and frankly even if you are in the same game as him, if you're respectful and operate with integrity, he seems like he'll leave you alone. I can respect that.

BCS is prequel DLC that's actually worth it. Last 2 eps have been getting very BrBa territory. First couple seasons are a slow burn but it's worth it.

cool little part of this scene. When Gus says he thinks Mike understands revenge, they both take deep exhales. Their breathing is in sync.

[@gwen6622]

the fact that he brought up the word "memorial", but did not answer what it was a memorial for, and then later says "i believe you understand revenge", that's enough for mike to put the pieces together. without having to directly say it, mike understands that gus's war with the salamancas is revenge for someone who died. someone for whom the village is a memorial to. the same reason he finances the village is the same reason he goes after the salamancas. he didnt have to say it, but mike understood it just from that. we the audience already knew that, but even if we didnt, i think we'd be able to tell from this scene too. genius.

every layer of peace rides on one of unrest and discontent. If you want the high of feeling avenged, you have to endure the suffering of loss and the possibility of payback against you afterward.

I think it is like Star Wars : it has been done to be watched in a certain order (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3) and even if it is not chronologic, it is the right order. You need to know who Vader is to be interested in "how did he became Vader". For the same reason, I would highly recommand to watch Breaking bad before BCS. BCS will spoil you thing that you are supposed to discover in Breaking bad.
