Season Four - Episode Eight: "Hermanos"
Episode Desciption:
Hank (Dean Norris) amps up his investigation into the identity of Albuquerque's meth kingpin, while Saul (Bob Odenkirk) helps Jesse (Aaron Paul) with a project. Meanwhile, Walt (Bryan Cranston) gets an update on his health.
Episode Overview:
As the ripple effect spreads from the attempt on Hank’s life, Gus remains cool when Albuquerque PD Detective Tim Roberts, Hank and his former colleagues at the DEA question him about Gale Boetticher’s murder. Pressed as to how his fingerprints came to be found in the dead man’s apartment, Gus explains that he recently visited Gale, who was the recipient of a college scholarship he endowed at the University of New Mexico. While Roberts and the DEA agents are satisfied with his alibi, Hank isn’t so sure, especially after questions arise regarding Gus’s whereabouts prior to his emigrating to Mexico from Peru in 1986. Meanwhile, following one of Saul’s regular visits to give Andrea some money, Jesse decides to call on his former girlfriend and their son himself.
As Walt continues making Skyler squirm with efforts to launder his enormous drug proceeds, Hank pretends that the Boetticher investigation has reached a dead end while enlisting Walt to follow Gus. Though Walt tries alerting him to Hank’s plan to place a tracking device on his car, Gus insists that he go ahead and do it. While struggling to convince Gus that he wants to protect him from the police, a panicky Walt drops in unannounced to demand that Jesse find a way to get close enough to Gus to poison him. But while Jesse insists that he hasn’t been in touch with Gus since recovering the hijacked meth, a clandestine look at his cell phone tells Walt that Jesse is lying, leaving him worried that his unpredictable partner will sell him out to save himself.
With Walt and Jesse in the lab, Mike tells Gus that the DEA isn’t interested in him as a suspect and that the tracking device Walt planted on his car was solely Hank’s idea. So, after Mike tells him not to worry about Hank’s homegrown investigation, Gus returns to the nursing home to see Tio who, along with the late drug lord Juan Bolsa, was once a henchman of Don Eladio, a cartel boss whom Gus and his former partner, Max, had hoped to work for back in 1989. But because Don Eladio ordered Tio to kill Max as a warning to steer clear of the drug business, revenge drove Gus to become a competitor that the cartel now wants dead.

After watching BCS, when Hector yells to his henchman don’t speak unless you’re spoken to, made me realize that he was killed because he was speaking out of turn. Also they knew they didn’t need the 2 of them, just one, so they disciplined Gus and showed him the ruthless world he was about to step into.

[@capncake8837]

I thought it was obvious. Gus disrespected the cartel by getting Eladio’s men high and forcing a meeting. The second part of your comment is right, though. They did only need him…and Eladio knew about his past as one of Pinochet’s men in Chile.

[@hugomventura]

From what I can tell their idea of respect is basically, don't speak out of turn unless it's something necessary. Look them in the eye. Wait for their permission to do specific actions like drinking , sitting and ect. Lastly it's to not undermine their competence in any form nor to act cowardly towards them.

The BCS scene with the wine guy added another layer to this for me, I feel like Gus and Max were romantically involved and that’s part of why he was so damaged by this and why he built him the memorial.

[@legionpigsmack1153]

My two cents on Gustavo's possible background...we know Gus was very poor growing up (from the story he told Don Hector in the retirement home). One good way to rise through the ranks of Chilean society after World War Two was either as a young police or military recruit. We know Gustavo is ambitious, ruthless, intelligent, and disciplined, therefore would have made an excellent soldier or police officer. When Pinochet came to power in the early 1970s, Gustavo would have been a fairly new and young recruit. In order to advance rapidly, and putting his skills to use, it is quite possible he joined the notoriously brutal death squads that enforced Pinochet's will. No doubt he was smart enough to keep his involvement off the books as much as possible, but when Pinochet gradually began to lose power, a man like Gustavo would have wisely fled to another country, assumed a new identity, and started over with assets and contacts he already had in place.

I really like how one of the most recurring themes in BB and BCS is pride being the downfall of powerful people, and here is no exception. If Eladio had decided to not see Gus and Max's actions as "subverting his authority" and instead as the business proposition that it was, Eladio could expanded his criminal empire to great heights. Max had a keen mind for drug manufacture that would not be seen again for years and Gus clearly had a keen mind for business, and both of them were offering their services to Eladio. And undoubtedly Eladio needed to show his authority yes, but he did so in a way that robbed him of a prime business opportunity and set a VERY driven man on the path of revenge, and frankly everyone probably knew it. But in Eladio's pride, he both thought he didn't need their help nor did he have to worry about Gus' revenge. And that would ultimately be his downfall

I’m assuming you know what it means. 3. There’s no way that they are actually brothers because that’s genetically impossible most likely, but homophobia was very common back then so for the good of their restaurant brand, they named it brothers for public comfort. 4. Gus saved max from the slums of Santiago(place in Chile) with peter the executive of madrigal electromotive company as max said in BB and Peter said in BCS, this was during the Chile civil war or the day the Chile dictator was assassinated which says something about gustavos past having ties to the Chile government which is also why hank found no records of him in Chile. Anyways, the point is that lalo Salamanca mentioned this to juan bolsa when he told lalo to stop messing with Gus’s business because “gus sees nothing but business”. Then lalo responded with “even with what happened in Santiago?” Which tells us that lalo sees Gus’s real motivation behind all of this. To take revenge for his lover. 5. The way gus normally speaks in the restaurant: fits a homosexual perfectly no offense 6. Dedicado a Max memorial fountain/village in better call Saul tells us he is very important to him (at this point it’s most likely that they’re lovers) 6. I noticed a interesting detail that when he went to meet don eladio to poison the whole cartel with Zanfiro wine, none of the girls came to him to comfort him. If anything, don eladio should’ve asked the girls to go to gus especially as he is thinking about max dying there to relieve his stress. But instead of that, none of the girls even went close to him which I’m pretty sure is because they were told by eladio that he is gay and isn’t interested in women. 7. After that many years after max died, he is still not married and has no kids at all.

Gustavos revenge is not only sweet, but it is the best revenge I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of cold dishes in my time. What they got is exactly what they deserve.

And even after Hector killed him, he also completed Gus' mission to end the Salamacas in doing it.

[@jordanverbeek5121]

Just realised you could see Salamanca moving in the background at 1:05. Max was a dead man talking.

[@mattsager914]

I watched an interview with Vince Gilligan, and he eluded to the fact that Max may have been more than just Gus' platonic, business partner, and that makes this scene so much more heartbreaking.

Pretty sure they referred to him as his boyfriend once in the show

I just realised why Hector decided to piss in the pool after shooting Gus’ friend , it had to be cleaned anyway due to the blood so it made no difference

I realized the same thing. I first thought it made no sense for Hector to be so disrespectful to Don Eladio. But Hector knew what was coming.
