Watch now!: play.google.com/store/tv/show...
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."

A few years back, he had a stroke that bound him to a wheelchair and left him a mute. The only way he can communicate now is through hateful stares and a little bell, strapped to his chair." "Seriously?" "Hey, if you pull it off and really, really commit we might get funding for a prequel spinoff and you can play the same role, but three times as awesome."

[@calderarecords]

I also find it extremely eye raising that Hector is a man who never shows fear ever, right? Yet Mike _does_ unnerve him here. =0 The nervous laugh he feels he has to explain covertly in his native language as Mike just eye balls him just to stay in face with his groupies is impressive to say the least. This is further confirmed by Hector's line "How you have lived this long with a mouth like that" - passing the buck to others in this field in an unconscious fashion. SO much is going on in this scene. They are talking with their eye & body language.

[@L_Lawliet1907]

@@calderarecords I mean it’s not surprising he is fearful of Mike. Guy was an ex marine and has tons of experience. Salamancas probably did their research. Only reason Lalo and Walt never really feared him was because they knew their intellect could get to him, well both were right in that regard. Gus underestimated both of them. (Lalo taking out a group of assassins, Walt outsmarting Gus by manipulating hector and gus’s relationship.) What’s really eye raising is why only Lalo/the salamancas are suspicious about Gus. Like he even questions it to Bolsa who was literally there when Hector killed Max. At this point he should be seen more as a threat than anything due to his inhuman patience and composure.

[@butteredsalmonella]

The funny thing about the line "Consider your position" is that, Mike does KNOW his position. If Kaylee and Stacey gets hurt, Mike won't claim the gun is his. If Mike dies, it gets even worse for Tuco.

The problem is that Mike was more concerned for his family's survival than hector would've been for tuco's sentence. That's the reason he got intimidated by the twins standing near the pool. He couldn't risk it. That's where de g0n came in to play. Mike reaches for his g0n and puts hector in a deadlock, confined to a room, and forces him to acqiesce. Another detail - Mike knew that even if there was a gunfight, Nacho was on his side. Hector was probably unarmed. 2 on 3 was a really good bet for Mike.

[@OldieWan]

@@justanotherblackwhitemicke7817 Respect is just about useless with these people. They will simply use the word respect as a virtue signal. Very few criminals have any honor as they did in the OG days of Hector. This would be more about leverage. If you have the correct leverage, you live. You also might be able to be left alone. But not with respect along by itself. You have to have that leverage. Or you are a dead man. Vince G is a great writer who dove deep into the inter workings of the underworld. Everything in this show is about as authentic as you can get from a TV show. Sure, a large percent of this has to be TV ready to go. And some of the bigger underworld trade secrets are still safe to this day. Vince only wrote and put into the show all the trade secrets that have been out of the bag for decades now.

What I love about this scene is the fact that despite at first glance it looks as though Mike is at a severe disadvantage, he actually is holding all the cards. He knows that Hector needs him alive in order to keep Tuco's sentence light and as such can't decline his offer, which allows Mike to exploit how much Hector is willing to pay to keep his nephew from such a lofty sentence since Hector's only other option is to kill Mike and then Tuco goes to prison for around a decade. Such amazing writing

[@rickyandreou]

I've said it before but I found Mike's grudge against Hector to be somewhat ironic because at no other point had Hector been so fair & reasonable when dealing with an adversary

[@rickyandreou]

@0 1 There are no lines that can't be crossed with cartel scum. What I meant was that hector was being reasonable by his own scumbag standards. Hector uncharacteristically came to Mike diplomatically under the guise of a concerned old uncle and didn't threaten his family until Mike staunch refusal to cooperate & in this scene he respects Mike's courage enough to agree to 10 times what he had initially offered him. Hector then honors the deal and leaves Mike and his family alone. A more dishonorable villain would have still killed Mike & maybe even his family as well simply for giving him a hard time. Instead though it's Mike who holds a grudge and seeks revenge.

[@Avo4929]

@@rickyandreou well said

[@megabladechronicles962]

@@rickyandreou He probably sympathized with Mike a bit. During their first meeting, Hector personally apologizes for Tuco's behavior and offers to force him to apologize after getting out of prison. Hector is an old man, so seeing someone as old as Mike being disrespected and assaulted by one of his own family may have set off whatever emotion is closest to kindness in Hector's twisted mind

[@mike353]

@@rickyandreou Do you not understand what’s going on at all? Hector needs Mike alive to say the gun was his or else Tuco would be in jail for a long long time. Sure he admired his courage but Mike himself knew they needed him which is why he had the balls to ask for more money. Also what do you think would happen if the same old guy ends up dead? The primary suspect would be Tuco. Sometimes when you think a criminal is being too nice just know they have their own reasons for it.

[@rickyandreou]

@@mike353 Yes "Mike" It's obvious why Hector didn't kill Mike before he changed his story but once he gave his testimony & the Tuco was sentenced it was a done deal. Mike turning up dead wouldn't be enough to reverse Tuco's sentence after the fact, based on suspicion alone.

During this period of BCS, Mike truly hated his nature and only wanted to live so he can support his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. But, as BCS continues, he learns to accept who he is. If this happened in BCS season 5, Mike would've never striked up a deal. But this version of Mike is really special, because his only purpose in life was supporting his family. Even Walt would've never done something this brave, in the name of his family

Rules of the cartel? That's literally life dude. When you get called into your manager's office, you wait for permission to sit. When you're at a job interview, you wait for permission to sit. This is universal when dealing with management of any kind.

[@sshlept8070]

If you walk into any meeting and sit without waiting for the offer to sit, you need to learn manners. Doing this has gotten me at least one job for sure. Keep eye contact while talking and listening. I learned this in high school while doing mock interviews. Also, this works for lying as well. Never look down and to the side, it shows your eyes are searching for a thought or excuse. Keep eye contact. Keep your answers and questions short and to the point, enough to get what you want without being rude.
