[@estinneerina4663]

Adding decoys means more roots to trace back to either Mike or Gus, plus allow Lalo to know more abt their operation. Also given the urgency of pursuing Ziegler, time was short when resources were scarce. One more thing the cost of Lalo finding Ziegler is more devastating than anything else as he’s easier to compromise. No violation, just priorities with the given resources.

[@cheddacheese7513]

Lalo knows it’s bs as he continues his investigation and finds the real construction project later in the series

[@SuperJutah]

Gus’ explaination is that Werner found some drugs and ran off with them, Gus said that he was building a construction for the legitimate side of things and the only thing Lalo knew was “The South Wall” he was probing for information and didn’t know exactly what Gus was building so Gus had a cover story so quickly built a gigantic fridge for his legitmiate business… Lalo didn’t buy ANY of this, he saw Gus for who he was.. An oppotunist businessman who wanted to go up against Eladio… It’s why he said during their first meeting You’ll be insane to go up against Eladio… Lalo wanted to meet michael and said oh the south wall is gonna look great informing Gus that his story didn’t work on him!

[@rustyricardo6532]

Because even to his criminal peers, Gus wants to be seen as someone orderly and respectable. To say “I had the man killed because he wanted to flee and see his wife” is to admit the cruel and violent reality of what Gus does to the world around him, and would chip away at the facade of composure that gives him power in situations like the one he’s in with Lalo here. He gets away with it because Lalo isn’t here to confront; he’s here to collect information. Lalo doesn’t buy Gus’s bullshit, sure - but he’s not omnipotent, and the story Gus tells of Werner’s heist is at least plausible. As Gus is spearheading the story here, Lalo is already at a disadvantage if he wanted to poke holes in it then and there. Lalo does what is the more clever thing in my opinion, and just takes as much in as he possibly can. It’s something he does a lot; he’s observant, and great at reading people. But he’s also sly, and knows when and when not to play his cards. Think about the moment in the exchange at the table where Gus finishes talking. Lalo breathes deeply, takes a sec, looks at Bolsa…he contemplates his response deeply. This is something I notice him doing constantly on a second watch through.

[@drygnfyre]

Gus is trying to fool Bolsa, his direct contact to the rest of the cartel. He is already aware that Lalo knows he's lying. But Bolsa is the one he needs to fool, because Bolsa is the one who is protecting him as he's a good earner.

South wall? What is the meaning of that last line?

[@arthaiser]

you know, im maybe starting to think that is not that bolsa didnt knew or that he was clueless, i think that he was so done with the gus vs hector thing that he was happy to act as if everything was ok if that descalated the issue at hand. like if you think about it, gus and hector had to be at it for close to 20 years. the flashback was in 1989, and breaking bad is in 2009. so again, is 20 years of bolsa having to calm the water each and every time gus does something that hector deems suspicious or hector does something that is out of line. and looking at the two series, is clear that this was something that happened regularly, as in, at least once every couple of months. after a few years of that, i think that bolsa just started caring less and less for the truth of what either side were saying and started caring more for doing what was needed so that whatever was the problem at that moment wouldnt growth bigger.

Pretty much. Bolsa summed it up very well: "Gus is a good earner. He keeps Eladio happy with money. And that is all that matters." As long as Gus keeps making money, he is protected. It's only in BB he starts to put revenge/politics above business and realizes that Gus is probably up to no good. It leads to his downfall.

I wish we got to see more scenes with Download Audio, such a phenomenal actor

I feel like Lalo genuinely did like Mike and respected him a lot

[@outermarker5801]

Lalo loved the place so much he moved in, permanently

[@briansheridan5208]

Mike and Lalo....they both can handle their own.

[@murrynathan]

Lalo is Gus’ Fring. And Gus is Walt’s Fring. Meaning in BCS Gus is the protagonist and Lalo is the big bad villain. And in BB Walt is the protagonist and Gus is the big bad villain.

[@CaptainBeebi]

4:40 This is truly the moment that Lalo escalates his competition with Gus by creating his own restaurant chain, Las Carnitas Familia. Their motto? _La Frescura es Todo_

[@Onmysheet]

The last thing Lalo says to Gus along with the wink is translation "Nice try, but you haven't bullshitted me with that story"

[@3takoyakis]

Nice South wall you're building

[@lifeson90]

lol Lalo knows Mike aint a 'chicken chiller supervisor' for sure... serious underestimation by Fring... and Mike

[@NuncNuncNuncNunc]

"I hid the truth" LOL Love the consistency of Lalo asking probing question and leaving dropping clue that he knows more than what he just let on.

[@sigurdkaputnik7022]

03:25 Lalo visits Casper in Germany because Lalo remembered him from this exact moment. If someone else picked up Mike, Casper would still be alive.

[@mosienko1983]

4:52 I love when Lalo walks right over the spot where he will be buried.

[@christianjohnson2275]

No. That’s not the lab lol. There above ground in a wear house. There seen walking out of the building afterwards that’s not the laundry mat where the labs located.

[@epicfan1598]

they're not at the lab. Gus took them an actual chicken chiller sight I think. They're at the chicken farm

[@surabhitasen4985]

DONT GIVE SPOILERS!

[@feellliix]

this show consistently has some the best lighting ever seen on television

[@RedMangabey]

The thumbnail is a work of art.

[@DjVortex-w]

I just love the clearly implied thoughts by Lalo: "I know all of this is just BS, and I know that you know that I know, but let's keep up pretenses anyway, because why not. It's a fun game."

[@pontifixmax]

"I'm gonna get back to it."

[@Mr.Whiteman-rv2iz]

Why that site so dark, i do commercial construction every day, never dark on site

[@Mike137dd-v4r]

I really like how construction sites are always so dark with no lighting and sparks flying. You know, for the ambiance...

[@highdenmighty3517]

I love that gus really show lalo an expensive grave yard that is good for two people. Lalo must be so pleased that he wanted that as his final resting placez

[@kingclampz6081]

Well Gus exploded in a nursing home 😂

[@ROMPJ]

Lalo should ask: "Local product? From who?" instead of "Construction?".

[@michelangelomelfi2998]

best tv series of all time

[@NapalmDoritos]

Lalo is great in this scene, not even listening to what Gus is saying to Bolsa as he is already completely convinced that Gus is spouting bullshit, and instead just looking around for Mike.

[@karlwarner7401]

Lalo: Cartel James Bond

[@anandhvr7163]

"south wall is going to look beautiful" i love the references in this series. Really got a lot of re-watch value.

[@rurounikenshin9902]

lalo is such a sick character
