Gus Fring Teaches a Deadly Lesson | Better Call Saul (Michael Mando, Giancarlo Esposito)

[@carson11100]

“I don’t believe fear to be an effective motivator.” -Gustavo Fring

[@Wolf-wc1js]

I feel there’s a difference between the two situations. Walt was the golden goose that he felt was essential to keeping his operation running so better to use persuasion without fear. Nacho on the other hand was someone who he personally hated because of his attempt to kill Hector himself and he was lower in the hierarchy of essential employees

[@sahrbabonjoisguiltfree]

Just because you don’t believe it to be effective doesn’t mean you won’t use it completely

[@nathanpierce7681]

this was before he said the quote, i think he learned his lesson of using fear to strongarm someone too much after nacho made him think he was gonna spill the beans twice lol

[@DerekWong967]

This isn't just fear though. It's death if tuco finds out

[@ajwadkarim1390]

It was told by Mike, lol Look that episode up again

[@jonathanalcantara7151]

I know right? Almost like it’s scripted

[@FreedomLovingFox]

If I ever worked at Pollo’s. I would answer the phone gleefully eager to recite my favorite spiel. “Thank you for calling Pollos Hermanos where something delicious is AlWAYS cooking”.

[@farlan2935]

my favourite thing about Gus is that he got his hands dirty. He wrapped a bag over that guy's head himself. He cleaned those deep fat fryers himself. That's a real boss.

[@dontpokethekenny]

Fucking this

[@levioneill9677]

The truly evil part is that Gus farted in the bag right before putting it over his head.

[@Agent-cz9rj]

Mike warned Nacho what would happen if he went through with his plan against Hector there would be consequences. Nacho paid the price for it.

[@DaScorpionSting]

I agree, but his father would've paid the price. Nacho's mistake was not watching his surroundings, especially when he switched the pills back.

[@Literally-God]

Just like every single person who has gotten caught before, they were so sure they covered their tracks well enough and there's no way anyone could figure out they were doing something. Those people all hang out in the same kind of building now, last I heard.

[@Wolf-wc1js]

@@DaScorpionSting well if Hector didn’t have the stroke when he did, Nacho might’ve just waited for the chance to kill him when they were alone, which is what he was gonna do right before the stroke happened until Arturo appeared and prevented Nacho from pulling the trigger. Nacho initially thought his pill plan failed because when Hector was giving himself heart issues after Bolsa said they would stick with Gus’s smuggling method, his ibuprofen pills seemingly had the reverse effect of helping Hector as if they were still his nitroglycerin pills

[@justinguyos5476]

Mike didn't warn Nacho about Gus. And he probably wouldn't even tell Nacho if he did ask. He just likes being so vague and say as little as possible, assuming people would just connect the dots like him. Also didn't Nacho tell Mike that Hector is going to kill his father for refusing to go along with his plans? Like it or not, The Salamancas put Nacho in a Kill or be Killed situation. I doubt anyone else would have done better in Nacho's shoes.

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

No Gus saving Hector is what screwed over Nacho, not Nacho trying to kill Hector, he would've succeeded and been free if not for Gus which is not what Mike was even talking about

[@bcmmike]

Gus bagged that order in record time

[@Literally-God]

I like how you can learn a teensie amount about Nacho's character just by seeing his distress at his "coworker" suffocate. He's not full on freaking out (think Jimmy and Kim seeing Howard die. "Oh god no! Please!", with their voices raised), but he's also not unphased by seeing him die. We can learn just from this that Nacho has been in the game and seen some gruesome shit before, but he hasn't lost his soul completely yet, and still has some emotional or spiritual attachment to people. Unfortunately for him, being in the game slowly erodes your sense of humanity and empathy, making you learn that those qualities are dead weight and it's naïve to think you can succeed in this type of work and be nice.

[@kenzoronero9020]

What about gale?

[@inaviatable118]

​@@kenzoronero9020Gale used his talent to keep as far away from the game as possible while still maintaining that fresh outlook on life. We only see him interact with gus before walt comes into the picture. And unfortunately getting in the middle of walt n jesse vs gus is what got him killed

[@RogueBoyScout]

Don't get hysterical when faced with murder. Show empathy for you homies. got it. I'm sure this observation will carry me far in my life and especially my chosen vocation.

[@playful_candy]

I think Nacho's reaction was based on the fact that if something like that happened to Arturo, things weren't looking too good for himself. Nacho doesn't even like Arturo, he just viewed Arturo as a sycophant for the Salamancas.

[@alastairgreen2077]

unfazed

[@8.4_litre_V10]

Even back then Gus was telling people to look at him

[@DaScorpionSting]

Nacho did it on his knees, and Jesse did it while standing up on his two feet.

gus is the captain now

[@theparadigm8149]

1:11 “Salamancas get six. We’re not leaving without six.” Tuco: “SEVEN! YOU WILL MAKE SEVEN!”

[@randbarrett8706]

2:37 Nacho makes Arturo reach for the bag, very subtle and I love it

[@DeadlyLazer]

Fring's plan to intentionally start with 1 less brick, knowing Nacho wouldn't leave without 6 to boost their sense of superiority and lower their guard, before springing his trap. Absolutely genius.

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

I'm pretty sure it was just Gus not wanting to give the Salamancas shit, not some master plan to bait Nacho into demanding the sixth brick lmao Nacho isn't even the one who asked for it. You guys making fan fiction in your headd

[@JadeiteMcSwag]

@@jamesfromthecomputer wow

[@jessicaregina1956]

So not only did salamanca get no kilos, they also lost a henchman

[@KobaLenk]

Not just a henchman. Arturo was a lieutenant for the Salamancas

[@Wolf-wc1js]

@@jessicaregina1956 they actually did end up getting some of it back. Gus had his men and Nacho set up Arturo’s death as being an ambush by a rival gang and then sold their kilos to the gang. After the Cousins recovered Nacho and got him to the vet, he directed them to the same gang that “ambushed” him so they could be eliminated.

[@joeminier1736]

Even with how he does his kills personally are professional silent and deadly. Gus is the type to be most afraid of and lalo

[@joeminier1736]

@@AmirKhan-yv8jm lalo too smart for that. Gus almost got killed himself killing him.

[@sword4005]

i think this was done so brutally mostly because Gus was angry Hector almost died from someone else, he couldn't accept that

Who would have thought that threatening to kill your suppliers would turn out badly if you then immediately turn your back on them?

"Look at me. For now on, you are mine..." "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some deep fryers to clean for my next shift"

Gus walked up and did it clean for the setup after this.

[@looker999997]

So what was the lesson? Don't poison your mob boss without asking his enemies first?

[@aliensinmyass7867]

No lesson, he's just using Nacho as a pawn.

[@rdowg]

The lesson was that Gus owned him now

[@robilav]

Very funny 😂 But honestly what I never really understood is why Gus really wanted to keep Hector alive so he can kill him slowly & torturing him for shooting his partner Max, when Hector was literally just following Eladio's order. And Gus killed Eladio quick and relatively painless/humanely (in the BB/BCS Cartel universe) with the poison when I believe the opposite would make more sense, since Eladio is the cause of Gus's "need for revenge"...🤔 It's as if Lalo or any other enemies of Gus (like Hector & Walt) would've only painfully killed Mike Ehrmantraut, Tyrus, Victor or even Nacho (if they find out the truth) instead of Gus for "revenge" even if they're technically just the muscle & are following Gus's orders, and then kill Gus in a more humane way, it doesn't make sense to me...🤨

[@joseluis5055]

Don't join this life is the lesson

[@TheSchemer1]

@@robilav Because Hector was always the most vocal about distrusting Fring.. still I havent thought of it that way

I know this is horrible but only thing I was thinking watching this scene is: "I won't be missing that haircut at all."

[@CrossoverFan4life]

Gus is creative when he has to get his hands dirty.

[@SuperMarioKai]

This scene proves why gus is a great antagonist. Usually lazy people that have an empire like gus would have made their henchmen do all of this, but gus is the one that steps in and tackles arturo to the ground and kills him.

[@nathanpierce7681]

it's funny how gus always personally kills someone when he's at his angriest

[@spg1794]

Gus takes enormous risks for no reason besides his ego, pretty often during the series , including showing up to do a hit personally and in the end that was his undoing.

[@IKhanNot]

I wonder how they managed to film the bag over the head bit and make it look so real.

[@Somedude1138]

The actor was actually a method actor who was extremely dedicated to his craft. For this scene they actually put the bag over his head and killed him.

[@IKhanNot]

@@Somedude1138 He was very dedicated for sure.

[@rando29287]

my guess is they had a hidden opening where there was enough space where it allowed him to still breathe fine, but closed off enough so that the bag could still open and close like that

[@GermanConquistador08]

Gus also became who he was then because Hector did the same thing to him, killing his partner in front of him. In some ways, Gus saw a lot of himself in Nacho - nature is always to mold after oneself. He wanted to turn Nacho because he was smart enough to start playing for the winning side - his friend proved himself too arrogant to.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

But Nacho didn’t care for Arturo!

[@jjosifovic]

Probably the most disturbing death ive seen on television.

[@Barry_Tsedaka]

The second Victor said 'put it away' you can tell that's a fake drama from them and they gonna act afterwards. Victor never asks, he just acts as cold blooded he is. BTW - The moment when Nacho holsterss the gun is simply a spectacular television shot. It's a recurring motif in the series.

[@Dale_Blackburn]

Bravo vince!

[@stevelibby6852]

He would have done this even if they did not insist on 6, right?

[@KobaLenk]

Exactly, since Gus correctly suspected Nacho was behind Hector' stroke, he was planning to use that forcing Nacho becoming 'puppet leader' of the Salamancas to get more control and better overview of his competition

Gus is a real asshole, since nacho dies in the end as a result of his enslavement to Gus. All nacho wanted to do by poisoning hector was save his dad. Beyond the fact that you shouldn’t usually work with the cartel, it’s not his fault his dads life was on the line

can someone explain why gus said "the salamancas, they do not" is it refer to 5 and 6 goods that salamanca get?

[@hibitterness5990]

I believe it's in reference to Nacho switching Hector's heart medication, nearly killing him in the process. Fring saved Hector due to his revenge plot and was mad that Nacho nearly killed him, because Fring wanted to kill Hector. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what he's referring to.

Is it not possible to bite through the bag? (Sure they still gonna shoot him or try again but why give up so easy?)

[@xxxhalo4everxxx]

typically you cant bite through a plastic bag, atleast not a hole to breath through, ripping a plastic by biting and pulling is pulling is easy enough but when put over your head like this you typically cant get a proper grip and even when you cant pull bag because its literally over your head, and again biting through it usually doesnt work, you can actually see the dude biting through the bag but he cant even get a proper grip
