Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Gus's failing to adjust motivation tactics on Nacho almost brought him to the ground. He learned this lesson well enough to do it with Jesse. But again it just emphasizes how good Walt's mind game was

[@Ligrec]

Everyone loves mike, and for good reason. Yet multiple times he knows what is the right thing to do, but proceeds to do the opposite because he is told to (Werner, Nacho, Jesse) by a sadistic, egocentric villain. He may be smart, but rarely takes any personal risk, which makes him kind of a coward.

[@jkta97]

Yeah, that was Mike's fatal flaw: his belief in keeping his "code," which justified that anyone "in the game" could be killed. However, his rigidity in thinking conflicted with his moral core.

[@slowresounding7906]

Pretty much the only reason Mike does anything is to protect Kaylee and Stacey. He doesn't go against what he's told to do in situations like this because he's already had the head of the cartel prove that he's willing and capable of murdering the two most important people in his life. He has his own very strict set of rules he adheres to, but he lets Nacho, Werner and Jesse suffer unfair consequences because it comes to a point where he has choose whether to jeopardize them or his family. It's more selfishness than it is cowardice.

[@justinguyos5476]

Nacho only betrayed his bosses because they were a threat to him and his dad. And then Gus continues to keep threatening him and his dad. Gus hates the Salamancas so much, but when it comes down to it, he is no different from any of them.

[@BraggingRite]

I think that Gus's reasoning is sound. He uses people's vulnerabilities as leverage because otherwise they would feign as though they have nothing to lose. Spawning bright ideas like bombing a nursing home at a whiff of discipline This is actually a kinder approach than any influence the cartels have. It only seems sinister because we don't know the extent of his instrumentation. "Not my call" Mike says, meaning that his execution of tasks is about as insightful as any other, from Lydia to the child murdering thugs. Again its far better than anything that the Salamanca clan could bring on as they only understand blood, not fear. Where I get confused is how Mike would express distrust while at the same time feel like Gus was in the right spot, driving over to Kill Walt when he found out that he killed the boss. "We had Fring!" As if to say that it makes more sense to let the man do the thinking. Which is it? Loyalty or justice?

[@tenja42]

Mike"s irony 2:37

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I absolutely love how BCS establishes the history of Gus and Mike together. Gus essentially hires Mike and makes him 2nd in command because not only is Mike the absolute best of the best, he also keeps Gus grounded to reality which helps Gus not act on impulse and "live large" or as a cartel boss. He also reminds Gus that they're supposed to be better than those they're doing dirt with. (Papa Varga tried to say they're all the same but I disagree because Mike at least firmly held onto his humanity most of the time).

Gus' business IS Bolsa's business. Bolsa handles things on the cartel side of things for Gus, and by sabotaging Lalo's bail money that Jimmy (someone who is just a runner; of whom Bolsa has no concern or affiliation) is transporting, Lalo would remain in prison out of the way and not a problem (for what Bolsa knew).

Good talk, Gus! Thanks!

[@citypopFM]

From Gus' position and perception, he isn't being unreasonable in wanting to keep Nacho as a firmly controlled asset to further his interests and have ready to use against the Salamancas and cartel leaders. They're all playing chess with the highest stakes and it wouldn't be wise to give up a small but valuable asset that is hidden from one's opponents. At the same time, Mike isn't being unreasonble either; even as a criminal, he strongly abides by a code of fulfilling promises and holding up one's end. He knows Nacho did everything he was told and deserves to be rewarded and his father, a civilian, left alone. Even if it makes Gus look monstrous and uncaring, his interests and goals go far beyond Nacho or anyone at his level, and he needs every edge he can gather to "win" against Eladio, Bolsa, the Salamanca family, and essentially anyone in his way.

[@Raynsideways]

When you get down to it, Gus has a point. Varga only ever got into the "biting every owner" routine because he started his side business. That meant he had to get Tuco killed/put away. Putting Tuco away brought in Hector. Now Hector had to die too. He's a victim, sure, but Gus is right: he's basically tried to get every boss he's had killed. He put himself in that situation.

[@ioaz4579]

And if you remember, When Nacho wanted to put away Tuco, Mike warns him not to do it, and that it will lead him down on a dangerous path he will never return from. Now that was some foreshadowing.

[@nealmarasinghe7755]

Gus betrays his fatal character flaw in this scene. His cruelty and tendency to look down upon others. He refers to Varga as a dog, and in being dismissive, blinds himself.

[@justinguyos5476]

Everything Gus does was all to avenge his boyfriend Max's death. He should understand the lengths people would go for their loved ones very well. But then he keeps threatening Nacho and Walt's loved ones while sneering at them when they take it so personally. I can respect Gus for being a cool, calculating mastermind. What turns me off is how incredibly vindictive he can be to anyone who crosses him, no matter their reasons.

[@TheAireaidLord]

What I don't get is why Gus went through with the plan to assassinate Lalo? As he says here, he legally can't stay in the United States after jumping bail, so he wouldn't be able to interfere with the superlab plans. Unless Gus assumes that Lalo will just come back on his own and keep snooping. However, he only did that when Gus's assassins murdered everyone at his home. Idk I guess Gus just assumed that Lalo would always be a threat and wanted it done quietly with Nacho's help

Yeah....way to late for Nacho.

Bro wants control on the opps 😭

[@Kalenz1234]

Those "owners" were Salamancas though. Gus should be able to relate.

[@Jacev_]

I hate that Gus says that line about a dog "biting every owner he's had". Granted, Nacho did that willingly to Tuco and Hector and he MAY have done the same to Lalo but it's not like Nacho had a choice in how his relationship with Lalo played out since Gus was already blackmailing him by that point.

[@KaiserAfini]

Following up on the metaphor, a dog who has been cornered will always lash out to survive. Putting a gun to his family is emotionally cornering Nacho and will, invariably, lead to the same result.

In any business, your never going to make the best decisions every single time. Unfortunately, in this drug business, a mistake costs people there lives. Seems like everyone is out to get the other rather than work together

[@jlc7300]

yes, all back stabbers

[@Dilomight]

Did Mike bite any of his owners before Gus

[@babaracus9583]

Bolsa the only gamer of the cartel

[@kyle6597]

A dog only does so outta fear is what mike should have said.

[@ben86jones82]

Mike resembles a tin of beans.

[@bigdapramirez6157]

I know that gang. They're the Los Pollos locos

[@bobbywhite1645]

He's right about dogs.

If gus knew saul he would've had mike assassinate him for letting out lalo

[@Zack29810]

nah, Gus wants Lalo down in Mexico. that’s why Gus had Mike protecting Saul and the money. how did you miss this?

[@CrossoverFan4life]

All three of them want Lalo gone and Gus needed Lalo out hence why he had Mike give the details to Saul about what happened with Fred

[@camerongreene3357]

Gus needed Lalo out of jail because Lalo was still causing problems for him behind bars, and if anything happened to him north of the border, the cartel would know Gus did it. Once Lalo was back in Mexico Gus would be able to send guys to take him out and end the problem.

it's 2022 video games will probably be portrayed realis---BOOP BLEEPY BEEPY BOOP

[@ohaidare]

gus could have been talking about mike himself

[@ahmadalabadi7345]

What is the name of this movie, please?

[@ElwoodBluesAK]

The departed

[@JordanWylde_]

Bolsa tried to keep Lalo in prison because he thinks will stop him from interfering with Gus’ business and his own business. I know Bolsa is high up but so is Lalo. Imagine Hector’s reaction if he knew what Bolsa did. Makes you wonder if Bolsa suspects Lalo’s fate but stays silent to keep the money going for Eladio.

[@isarasoo1]

This logic worked for Gus until he come across Walt

[@TeaInTheMorning-we2kh]

It feels just a little out of character for the Better Call Saul version of Mike to be working for Gus in my mind. It's clear on several occasions that Gus' more savage side disturbs Mike and Mike doesn't seem like the kind of person to just let that kind of stuff slide.
