Nacho's Father Disrespects Hector Salamanca | Better Call Saul (Mark Margolis, Michael Mando)

Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) pays Nacho (Michael Mando) Varga's father, Manuel, for using his upholstery shop as a front for Hector's drug business, but Manuel reluctantly accepts to avoid Hector's retaliation.
WATCH Better Call Saul HERE:
play.google.com/store/tv/show...
From Season 3, Episode 10: "Lantern"
He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

Honestly, with all that Hector did that had to be one of the most psychotics things. He knew Nachos dad was an innocent, honest working man. He knew he was one of the only good things Nacho had left. Nacho repeatedly tries to beg and reason. Yet hector fucking insists to corrupt this obviously good person, supposedly because he needed the business, but more likely just because he loved to see Nacho suffer. It's really evil, but it's also just fucking mental. Nacho is a criminal who has done some crazy shit, do you really want to do the worst possible thing to him, and then STILL HAVE HIM WORK FOR YOU? Hector was so arrogant and such an asshole, he couldn't even stop in the name of self-preservation. Absolutely no surprise how it all turned out, and well deserved too.

I have to say this. It is always cool when a young star shines. Michael Mando's performance through this whole series was nothing short of amazing. He carries the entire scene every time he is on the screen. When he is acting as a henchman to the Salamanca's when he is in fear for his family's well being, when he talks to Mike, when he talks to Gus and even when he meets his end...each of these scenarios brings a different type of acting from him. From calm to panicked to ruthless to foaming angry...It's never overacted. He's brilliant and I really hope to see him in many many projects down the pipe.

They could just lease a building somewhere and start their own front business or whatever and get regular shipments from over the border. Beat Gus at his own game.

[@DockNinja]

When has Hector ever listened to anybody in the series? He acts impulsively and takes by force as does all the Salamancas. Gus said it perfectly to Lalo, the Salamancas have no vision.

[@MrTREEHUNTER22]

Hector and all the salamancas are psychos. They take by force and killing a man for his business is easier than making a new one. To hector, the shop was already his property.

I love this scene. It shows you how a father can be doing all the right things for his son all those years. Showing him the right way. And yet he still seeks approval from another grown man who is obviously leading him down the wrong road. And he knows he can kill them at any time poor nacho.

[@jsphat81]

This is the scene that made me glad to see Hector in agony when being tortured by Gus in BB.

[@heartnet40]

Nacho's father is great. He knows that doing something "for the family" isn't honorable if it gets people hurt. Unlike almost everyone else in this story, the excuse doesn't justify the actions of the Cartel and the people associated with it, and he doesn't treat the exchange as a good thing in the slightest. You can see how disgusted he is with his son here, almost offended that Nacho would dare leverage family for this. It contrasts well with Hector: Hector similarly is a very family-values individual, but he's unable to see how the power the Salamanca's seek is inherently self-destructive and thus isn't capable of truly valuing his family until it's far, FAR too late. It makes sense that Mr. Varga is one of the only truly righteous characters in the Breaking Bad timeline when even the most moral players of this story like Kim and Mike make up excuse after excuse for continuing to hurt people. Mr. Varga draws the line: "There's never a good reason to hurt others." And ultimately he's one of the only characters that the story props up in a purely positive light for it, despite the tragic loss of his son.

[@aaabatteries9948]

I always thought that putting his pride as a hard working incorruptible man above everything, even at the expense of his own son's life and potentially his family's was his greatest flaw. Yes it's admirable that he doesn't want to cave in to the cartel even if its for his own son's sake which shows he has a lot of integrity, but had Papa Varga agreed to turn the body shop into a front for the cartel, Nacho would not have had to try to kill Hector and subsequently fail and as a consequence get tangled up with Gus which pretty much sealed the deal for him. Had he gone along he would have saved Nacho's life or at the very least prolonged it. In a way he is responsible for his sons death. There's also no way of knowing if Hector took revenge by killing Nacho's entire family after finding out what he did to him.

Hector lacked the situational insight, intelligence and charm that other villains in the show had. He's too detached, too wretched and arrogant. Throwing money on the table is his first solution to a problem, and if that won't work, then there's violence, while he could've avoided both by just trying to connect with Nacho's father, even if it wasn't genuine. But Hector is incapable of that. It doesn't even occur to him, it seems. By approaching Nacho's dad like that and expressing his distrust, he's really just sowing the seeds of doubt and wrath in Nacho's mind. He gave him the money and still doesn't trust him, and so what ensures the safety of his operation thereafter would simply be to eliminate a potential loose end. Not exactly clever for a major player in his position. And he isn't clever, because he never connects the dots. When Nacho reveals it was him who put him in that wheelchair, Hector's surprised. Meaning that when he basically threatened Nacho's dad, to Nacho's face, he didn't anticipate a son to prioritize the well-being of his own father over loyalty to 'the boss'. He actually thinks he holds that much power over his subjects.

It doesn't make much sense.

Knowing the Salamancas aren't the type to forgive nor forget they either got to him before Mike and Hector died and it's never talked about, or he was still on their to-do list.

Cartel conducts themselves with much restraint North of the border, as Bolsa told Lalo + Salamanca family's fortune were in a sorry state after jailing of Tuco, death of Lalo, and crippling of Hector after heartattack, also factoring in that death of important associates like Arturo and Nacho. By the end of Better Call Saul timeline they were in pretty bad shape (implied in Breaking Bad where Crazy 8 is an important but independent drug dealer). They were just holding on to what they had in Albuquerque because of grace of cartel, any more trouble from their operations might have caused irreparable breach.

Vaas got defeated on the island but it was his, Gang Name, he survives his fight with Jason so then he goes home to New Mexico. This is Vaas's real life and real name, Nacho. But then after this he moves to New York and becomes a gang leader again, Scorpion, and finally gets caught and defeated from Spider-man.

3:29 why? Cause he cant but him? Looks like money cant but everything

[@seansmith7462]

They need to do a series on Nacho and his upbringing.It will be a hit, his character was likable

[@whateve157]

Yeah, I would be curious to see how he got into that whole business. I guess maybe he thought he could make some quick easy money and just dabble to whatever extent he wanted? Only thing is it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that once you get into something like that there’s really only one way out. So yeah, I would be curious to see how the whole thing happened

[@koulematon7359]

I think, that if Nacho wasn't killed (he didn't need to be) he would've been the best spinoff material.

3:07 Lee-ctor 🇨🇳

[@ikazukison2]

Just like Nicky Sobtoka's father, he was a good man who wasn't in the game

I don’t believe fear is an effective motivator.

[@pitmclord]

It lacks foresight. It can work temporarily but will eventually fail

[@RynaxAlien]

First thing Hector needs to see is Nacho father

[@Prackz1]

I think people interpreted this whole scene the wrong way .. hector really respected nacho dad .. mad it didn’t go his way but didn’t push the issue or force him simply left him alone because he knew it was a dead mission

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

respect for the old school law abiding tradesmen like papi anyone can be a low life crim a strong man obeys mans and Gods laws and contributes to his area in a positive way papi was stronger than fring and hector combined

[@daywalker6847]

Maybe you cant have no family to think about til culture is changed ? or family have to become soldiers ?

[@kr-sd3ni]

nacho knew this moment that hector will eliminate papi and replace with someone who can be trusted. nacho was right, its hector or nacho.

Three grand for subverting ur business 😂😂😂

[@keithandersen6710]

Nacho's Dad is like the only purely good character in the whole show.

[@farouksaad6656]

I wanted the father to kiss his foot and beg him to go? what a dick hector is
