From Season 2, Episode 6 "Bali Ha'i"
Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

People keep saying this is an unrealistic result. What they all seem to forget is that if Hector just kills Mike to show he's a tough guy, Tuco sits in jail probably for the rest of eternity. The reason this negotiation was happening at all is that Hector needs Mike, as he is in a unique position to get to go out sooner. If he didn't need him, he would have killed him instead of even speaking to him once at the coffee shop.

[@ieuanjones7615]

I wouldn't say it's unrealistic. I'm sure Hector doesn't want to risk being killed by such a ballsy guy.

[@Tomy-im8zl]

[@UndeadPasta]

In the end Hector still had the upper hand with Mike's family. I feel it was more a show of respect for the cajones on Mike to make a threat like that in the first place. They're both old men in a dangerous business, Hector may not have much respect for anyone but maybe he saw a little of himself in Mike there at the table.

The $50,000 price is the realistic one for taking a false wrap. Nobody going to take false wrap for 5 grand. Hector was hoping Mike was only going to go to 10 or 20. But really even a 100k for a false wrap is realistic. Hector is basically employing him to go to jail, thats about 10k a month for Mike...

Don't you mean "actor" singular. Pay attention to the title, there is a story behind it. Bob Odenkirk is such a great actor and a superhuman, he was going around at 20 times the speed of light, changing costumes and make up to play every single character in this scene all by himself. Vince usually wants everything to be as real as possible and he was shocked when the team explained it to him that Bob Odenkirk produced this scene singlehandedly using his superhuman powers (including the technical work behind the scenes) he decided to keep it in the final cut untouched. Our mortal eyes can not detect the capabilities of Bob Odenkirk.

[@kylebenbow431]

Interestingly enough, Mike had the leverage here. If they kill Mike, they bring more heat for a witness who fought their nephew all of a sudden disappearing (who knows if he has a cell phone or other things to track him either). Hector only leverage was intimidation of violence towards Mike's family, which most likely worked in 99% of cases. Being Mike didn't back down, Hector had no choice but to give in.

[@jmr1068204]

While he meant to provoke anger from Mike by asking "how he managed to live that long with a mouth like that"...the old adage of, "Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young" comes to mind. Old warriors did not get old by accident; they got old by being wise, having the right knowledge, and being tough. Never underestimate an old man who has grown up in a rough profession or a rough environment.

[@Popepaladin]

Hector is an old man in Mexican drug cartel business, he knows.

[@mikei1000]

Mike DID consider his position carefully well before he entered that room. When Hector threatened sending the twins to the motel to attack Mikes Daughter in Law and Granddaughter Mike knew it was BS. Hector was clearly desperate to get Tuco out of jail as quickly as possible. If Hector were to send the twins to the motel he risked both of them being locked up for an even longer time leaving Hectors crew very short handed. Mike had the upper hand from the second Hector sat down uninvited at the diner.

[@justinguyos5476]

It is also counterproductive to threaten the family of the man his nephew mugged. If anything happens to them, who do you think would the police be looking at? Like it or not, he can’t afford to kill Mike or his family if he really wants to get his nephew out of prison.

​@@RATEDR138 plus he knew he couldn't kill Mike. If the only witness to Tuco's crime ends up dead, there's no way Tuco is getting out of prison which was the whole point of Hector trying to strong arm Mike in the first place

[@tysquirt111]

Hector respects strength while also needing his problem solved. It wasn't in his interest for Mike to die. The $50,000 he paid was a sign that he respected Mike and his giant balls, but he was also mutually being respected by Mike. Waiting to be seated, reaching for the gun but NOT drawing it, and giving a legitimate reason for why he's asking for such a high price. Hector didn't get to being Don Hector without some intelligent decisions, and paying off an enemy falls into that category. If Mike were Mexican, I'd imagine that he would be offered a role in the cartel after this meeting. But that's only speculation

a vietnam sniper vet from the 1960s was an elite soldier. he got away with executing 2 cops from his home town and survived a beating from tuco who killed one of his soldiers giving him a similar beating in breaking bad. an OG like hector would automatically know he was dealing with man of sicario status and old to boot meant he was more dangerous than his own men

[@sams-hx7hm]

Both Mike and Hector made a giant bluff play. Hector threatened to have Mike's granddaughter killed to see if Mike could be easily blackmailed, while Mike threatened to start a shootout immediately after Hector's threat. Neither would realistically go through with it since Hector needs Mike alive, and Mike knows that.

[@woodwyrm]

Hector needed Mike to keep Tuco out of jail, the only thing Mike needed was a pitiful sum of money.

[@markdelmar-sn8wd]

the gun didnt make any difference. hector absolutely needed mike to reduce tucos sentence to a couple of years. so he couldnt allow his men or his nephews to whack mike, no matter what. hector was testing mikes nerve to see what he could get away with fobbing him off with. if he could scare mike into agreeing with his demands without paying him that would have been a win win for him. but he knew mike was very dangerous and more so due to his grand daughter being threatened, and even without a gun mike would probably have got to him and killed him with his bare hands if need be. that might explain it. having the gun actually kept things civil and clean believe or not.
