He gave the balloons to his granddaughter to cover up his purchase of mylar balloons. If he was investigated for this event, and the detectives said "Mylar balloons were used in this crime, and we know you went to the balloon store that same day and bought some, why?" Mike could say, "I bought them as a gift for my Junebug," and his daughter and granddaughter would say, "He did," and "He's the best, silliest Pop Pop ever." It creates reasonable doubt in the connection to the crime. Mike truly is playing the whole game four moves ahead.

[@slothymango]

Why did you tell us this

[@jacobroe3653]

A lot of people seem confused about the reaction of the man in the corridor. To be clear, throwing the shoe is NOT supposed to sound like someone walking down the hall, but rather, the target hears something be thrown and assumes it is a grenade, thus his main priority becomes to get out of the corridor, fast. Because he is panicked and an amateur the best he can come up with is to make a run for the door firing forward in a hope to deter assailants, which makes him easy prey for Mike. It only looks silly if you misunderstand what the shoe is for.

[@berzerkbankie1342]

Well dude ran straight towards the sound while firing his gun. You don't run towards a grenade and you certainly don't shoot one.

BCS demonstrated that Mike would be sincerely nice to people who actually deserved it. Like Nacho's dad, he was always genuinely nice to him. Unlike how he was with Walt and most others. He seemed like a good judge of character.

[@TheAwesomeTruthofTT]

Poor Chao… gets held up and taken hostage then rescued only to be shot in the hand and then eventually killed…😢

The killing was unauthorized, though. Not that it makes it any better. But Mike had no intention of killing him, it was his other guy (Chris?) that did it.

It’s funny to me how shows and movies always have guns make a clicking sound, when in reality no gun anywhere makes noise when you move it around and point it places

[@theforce5191]

It's a TV show. If they wanted to make things as real as possible, they'd hire someone with experience. But they don't need to. They just need to make it interesting. So the flashy kills and the unnecessary noises are just part of the entertainment.

[@H.K.5]

2:55 from the angle we see the thug running and shooting when baited by Mike, it appears he's blinded by the dark, but when the camera switches to Mike's angle, it is possible to see there's no one there (until of course Mike enters the corridor). Not sure who hired these thugs, but they're kind of dumb, lol.

[@drygnfyre]

That was the point. Mike told Gus specifically these guys were amateurs. They were likely there just to hold Chao hostage until Gus called Eladio and negotiated. We saw in other episodes they did the same thing with the truck takeovers. It was to get Gus to stop using his own products. Mike said that if the cartel was smart and hired actual assassins, it would have been a different outcome.

[@jimmypage4753]

1:18 the actor doesnt know how to cock the gun. guy has his hand riding the action forward which is going to cause feeding problems. pull it back and let it rip forward on its own for the bullet to fully get seated in the chamber.

[@dinorex3464]

Probably because Mike knew the guy was right behind the corner because he was waiting for him, so him being too far to the right or the left was impossible.

[@caseyw1286]

What kind of gets me is how the last guy wasn’t able to pick up on Chao signaling to Mike where this guy was and when to shoot. Chao raising and lowering his hands to signal where Mike should aim the gun seems pretty obvious, not to mention the obvious head nod. More so, since the guy knew there was an intruder, I would had taken Chao’s movements as being more of a red flag.

Could someone explain why Mike shot Chow in the hand? Chow couldn't call Mike or give him the chemicals because his warehouse had been taken over by armed men, and Mike knows it.

[@theforce5191]

Probably to make sure he gets taken to the hospital? Or a punishment for not answering?

[@unusualusername8847]

It's because Chow is established to be the least trustworthy amongst the contacts known as "Mike's Guys". The most likely to fold.

[@devangnivatkar2649]

Feels very out of character for Mike. Remember when he was hassling Walt to get his car's headlights fixed? Just so the cops don't pull him over. A man going to a hospital with a bullet wound to his hand is bound to raise way more questions than a broken car light

[@giantWario]

@@devangnivatkar2649 Not really, the bullet went through his hand so he could say that the wound was caused by, well, anything really. Especially when working in a warehouse, there's bound to be tons of stuff in there that could cause injuries like this. Now of course, doctors would be able to tell that it's most likely a bullet wound but without an actual bullet, well, they're not gonna do anything about it. Doctors aren't cops, it's not their job to investigate how you got wounded.

[@drygnfyre]

Mike told Lydia in a later episode it was to send a future message. Like, to have better contact with Gus and Mike. (It's implied Chao isn't very reliable even before the takeover. The "return our calls" he refers to are likely many calls, not just the most recent ones).
