[@zzthedon4k]

if you WEREN'T confused at somebody questioning your name/age/etc, then THAT would be suspicious. I'm sure as soon as Hank said "one more thing", Gus shot daggers at him with his eyes because he clearly wants to prove his innocence and GTFO. He also knows Hank is onto him so anything out of his mouth is trouble, and I'm sure the question would make anyone get caught off guard, but the response he gave seemed entirely planned. The question is inherently ridiculous. Nobody is staying calm/reasonable/composed to something like that. He answered exactly the way an innocent person would've answered. Being overly compliant is commonly a sign of guilt (i.e., going out of your way to prove your innocence).

Gus decided to kill Walt and replace him with Gale. Walt called Jesse and sounded the alarm that they were going to kill him if he didn't kill Gale. Jesse killed Gale. Gus had no other options.

[@johnappleseed9290]

If anything he came off as genuine, the whole topic was about gale and the fingerprints, so Hank asking that question and throwing him off would only validate Gus’s whole story even further with the DEA.

[@zzthedon4k]

to be honest, this was part of the conversation that made him look innocent. people are saying he sounded too rehearsed etc, well this is TV show so obviously the script is "cleaned up" a little than how real people talk, but if somebody asks you what your REAL NAME is, that's something clearly accusatory. especially if you're an immigrant, you know exactly what they're implying. it's like if you told someone your age and they say "but are you REALLY x years old?"; the statement comes across as combative, because it is. him showing shock/slight offense makes him seem the whole response seem more human. people who are guilty will usually be compliant with EVERYTHING in an effort to seem innocent, even when questions and accusations are incredibly inflammatory. innocent people answer what they know, generally briefly, and deflect what they don't, generally with some hostility. he probably wasn't prepared for that question, but I'd argue after computing it for a second or two, he responded exactly how Gus Fring would respond (i.e, the mask stayed on).

[@maxs2480]

@@zzthedon4knailed it

[@Resi1ience]

I like how it took him, like, 20 seconds to process a proper response to that, which just made it seem more genuine. Because it probably was. We never actually learn, later on, what his history was before moving to Mexico. So for all we know, his real name could very well be Gustavo Fring and he could have been answering completely, totally honestly.

[@mikem591]

@@Resi1ience ​​⁠I noticed he was able to recalibrate. When I first saw it I assumed he was just a really good liar. However, in the flashback the cartel said he came from Chile and they called him Gustavo. He had a mysterious background. I don’t think that was his actual name, but he used the same name in his dealings with the cartel and they seemed to know aspects of his backstory that Hank didn’t know. I think there might have been more going on about Gus’ background then just being a criminal hiding his identity in the US as he used the same name when dealing with the cartel. BB made his background coming up from Chile purposely mysterious. It might have been why his response seemed believable to everyone but Hank.

2:15 How did no one catch this? After the Captain mentions a “drug related homicide” Gus instantly knows it’s Gale…but here he mentions reading about him in the paper and questions the “drug related” part of the homicide. Distraction tactic, but it’s a dead giveaway if the detectives caught it.

[@DGKonkrete]

Dead giveaway that noone caught? He had a solid reason to automatically know it was gayle, gus knew the murder was mentioned in the newspaper weeks or months before he was questioned

[@BowenWilliams-lp8xq]

Gus knows that his fingerprints were at the scene, and even if he were innocent he would still presumably be able to connect the dots and realize that the homicide is in reference to Gale, whom he just recently had dinner with. He asks about the drug related part later because he’s playing along with the idea that he would make the connection with the homicide part immediately, hence why he asks about the drugs later- he presumably doesn’t know this, but was made aware by the police. The more obvious question that the detectives would have asked, and for which he wouldn’t really have a justifiable answer, would be why he didn’t come forward to offer information before. Gus maintains the image of an upstanding citizen, if he really were innocent, he surely would have contacted the police to let them know what had transpired between gale and him a few days before the homicide. Gus probably made the decision to avoid contacting the police at all because he wasn’t sure they would be able to pull fingerprints, but it comes across as suspicious, and it’s an oversight for the police to not have at least asked why he didn’t come forward sooner, or question why he didn’t immediately understand that he was being brought in because of his connection to Gale. I think Hank actually mentions this in a later scene, but I’m not sure tbh.

[@manticore4952]

That's how it happens in real life, just one little thing gets you.

[@DwightStJohn-t7y]

@@manticore4952 that's why these "Star actor" films all being the man on risk taking is real life BS. Life isn't like that. Just had an "incident" with a neighbour in Canada and NONE of the legal people from the cop to the Judge had EVER been in a real fight. It''s not like TV where there's a build up, tension rises. Most fights are more like Samurai: over in a nano second, and in a LOT of cases. BOTH get harmed or killed.

[@joseluis5055]

You can tell his composure changed a bit when Hank asked that. The question also reveals to Gus that he's being investigated, he probably thought the meeting was just to clear up why his fingerprints were found in a crime scene

[@jmvknows01]

This comment was copied from another video hahaha

[@drygnfyre]

@@joseluis5055 He wasn't officially being investigated. Hank told Walt later in the same episode the DEA did not officially consider him a suspect. Mike told this to Gus in a later episode. Everything Hank was doing onward (such as putting the tracker on the car) would have been illegal and most likely not admissible as evidence. But on the other hand, Gus was also kind of trapped. He knew if he DID have a lawyer show up, it would make him look guilty or like he's hiding something. So he kind of had to let Hank investigate unofficially, and instead was smart and knew exactly what to manipulate (like how he only drove to certain places with the tracker on the car).

I love how as soon as they tell him they are investigating a murder he responds with the name. An innocent person who knows someone who was just murdered is going to know right away you are talking about the person they know who was recently murdered. Him playing dumb at that point would give him away. He never plays dumb. He just acts like all he knows is what he would know if he was innocent, and is completely forthcoming with it all. Such a brilliant scene.

The subtle glare from Gus when Hank chimes in with “1999”…he realizes Hank knows enough to be a meaningful threat.

[@HugoNewman]

Gus slips up here, and Hank spots it. He guesses “Gale Bedecker’s apartment” based only on the information that his fingerprints were found at the scene of a “drug-related homicide”. Yet shortly thereafter, he invites the clarification, “drug-related you say!?”, as if that piece of information hasn’t quite fully registered yet… but why would that be so, if what tipped him off in the first place was no more than the info that his fingerprints were found at a drug-related crime scene? In his haste to appear perturbed by the thought of Gale being embroiled in drugs, and so maintain a near-saintly facade, he exposes himself as a liar to Hank. Amazing writing.

[@handfuloflight]

could him saying “drug-related you say!?”, just mean that he was confirming his suspicions of gale

Hole in Gus' story. When they tell him "A drug related homicide", he instantly admits to knowing Gale. But later he says "Drug related, you say? The paper made no mention of that. I assumed it was a random crime." 2:14 This was perhaps the only mistake he made during the interview. Can you spot any others?

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Not a mistake. There was only one place where his fingerprints could have been found at a crime scene where a homicide took place. He knows that Gale was murdered supposedly because he read it in the journal, so when the police mention a homicide, Gus acts like he's thinking before saying Gale's name.
