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.

[@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.

[@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).

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.

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.

[@williambrown3427]

Yeah. If you were just a good citizen, finding out someone was murdered when you were just hanging out at their home would be something that would stick in your mind very firmly. So when someone bring who that your prints were at a crime scene you would have a pretty good guess where.

I find it odd that a criminal mastermind like Gus never thought to contact the DEA or APD to cover his tracks by informing them of his relationship with Gale and how he had visited him shortly before his murder using this cover story…. HUGE red flag for a supposed DEA booster and Hank saw this plain as day. Hank potentially would never have considered him a suspect in the first place! His story and legitimate alibi would’ve cleared him no problem! It sure as hell worked here for the most part!

[@FedkaSlovanich]

you never give up information willingly, if you come out and tell the DEA that they could use it against you because you put yourself at his apartment.

[@carson11100]

@@FedkaSlovanich so you are saying it’s better to withhold information, especially when you know your fingerprints will be found at the scene as well as the fact you were one of the last people to see the victim alive? That makes you seem even more guilty! As you can see, everyone except Hank fell for his BS here….. not sharing this information earlier ironically PUT him on a DEA agents radar and look what happened…. Plus he had a legitimate alibi for the night Gale was murdered? He could’ve spun this BS story to ASAC Merkert a day or two after reading about it and would’ve been cleared as a suspect!

His problem was that he didn't become overcome with shock, fear and emotion for how anyone else would be when 4 DEA agents grill him. Having an answer to everything so calmly wasn't so smart,he was TOO prepared..

[@SOLOcan]

uhh what? If I remember correctly the DEA agents all believed him? He was calm and prepared because he was trying to give the impression that he knew Gale would be involved in drugs. This was to establish a plausible relationship with Gale but also to establish a plausible reason why he was no longer in contact and why his fingerprint was at a crime scene. If he went into hysterics' people would think that they were actually close and it would warrant further investigation.
