Werner seeing the pain in Mike's eyes and deciding to make his job easier by opting to turn around and walk away instead of crying, begging & pleading is one of the most selfless actions in the entire series. He asked once "is there no other way?" and took the answer like a man.

Werner's introduction was one of the best depictions of a german stereotype ever. Complaining from the first second on, telling the employer that their plans are impossible, fulfilling that plan perfectly anyways and having a heart of gold. Rainer Bock couldn't have been a better fit for this role, it seems so realistic, like you'd encounter him in the next small town construction company.

[@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt]

I think it shows how Casper wasn’t cut out for this line of work. None of the men on the job were career criminals, and he had set up a quiet, crime-free life. Most people wouldn’t have the instinct to kill or maim another, even if they were being threatened. Lalo, by contrast, dismembers a man casually. Casper was shown to be a good man, and like Werner he ended up paying for it.

[@atune2682]

hahaha so true

[@BraggingRite]

It seems more like praise, that clan only knows how to communicate by force, so far someone to operate in turn is commendable I can't see any other reason why in his final moments, Lalo would be laughing. Gus backed up his "big talk" with more than just words

[@remi-D]

Gus making Mike kill Werner hits so hard. Mike’s son Matty was murdered by his “buddies” because they were afraid of what he might do. So Mike took revenge on them. He didn’t do a good enough job emphasizing to Werner that this is life or death and when he lost control of him, he was forced to become the exact kind of person who killed his son, Matty.

It was like Mike having to put down his own son when he really meant no harm, just made a bad mistake.

I also strongly suspect Gus did his own research for a construction project like this, and understands how extremely difficult it's going to be.

Probably the toughest kill for Mike. Werner wasn't one of them. He was an architect, a regular man. A family man who lived a law-abiding life for the most part. Gus brought him and charged him with the task of carrying out a victimless crime. Build me a warehouse. And in the basement, put a secret room. Werner wasn't a drug dealer, killer, criminal, or anything such as that. For Mike to have to kill someone outside of the system just to protect their secrets. I doubt he could ever really feel ok with that. He knew he had to. Werner was a liability. a talkative drunk who put Lalo on their trail. Gus wasn't going to let him live and better Mike kill him than someone else. Still. You could see even early on in the Mike/Gus arrangement that the two were effective together, but never agreed 100%. Gus was too much like the cartels. Willing to allow for outside sacrifice to be made. To hurt bystanders and the unconnected to the game. Mike had no interest in that. As far as Mike was concerned, everyone in the system made their choice and had to deal with the consequences. But those outside of it were innocent. Not to be touched or harmed. No matter the circumstance.

[@RogueBoyScout]

Oh my god how can there be so many naive fans of this show. You don't think those architects haven't built MDMA labs all over Belgium/Holland/Germany before they came to Alberqurquie. The Logistical side of Industrial Drug Manufacturing is more than just Chemists and Transport. And every part of the cog is just as aware of what they are involved in, and have chosen the life. Whether it's the crew on board a cargo ship carrying cocaine through the Pacific to get to Australia. Whether it's "Naive" chemical lab in Shenzhen making synthetic Safrole to move to Myanmar, with a blind eye by the CCP on the condition that the final product is to go to the "West". The cargo handlers at the airports who just happen to have on OMCG fully patched member as a brother in law. You get my drift. When he was saying "he was worth 20 of you", he wants being sentimental.

Totally disagree that Werner was “outside the system”. When someone from half a world away throws you under a hood to drive you somewhere secret the first time you agree to meet them about a job, you know what you are signing up for. Anyone of even average intelligence would have understood the stakes when agreeing to work for Fring, and Werner was obviously much smarter than the average person. He knew he was working with criminals, he knew what he was building would have been used for something illegal, and he knew maintaining secrecy was the number one most important part of a deal he willingly agreed to. He was not outside the system, he agreed to become part of It when he took Fring’s money, and with that money came responsibilities that he was fully aware of but did not live up to. He was a good man, but if you knowingly agree to work with criminals you can no longer feign innocence.

Equally evil? You do have a good point, but it's more complicated than that. I think a better choice of words would be, "Mike has equal capacity/potential for being evil as the rest". That's true to human nature. As it's said, "The line between good and evil cuts through the hearts of all people."@@divine_masculine69

[@womans-r9b]

​@@divine_masculine69,hes not as evil as Salamcas or Gustavo (who is less evil than Hector), not even close. But hes still evil.

Lot of sad arcs in this series but this was the saddest. Werner just didn't belong in that kind of life.

[@qtluna7917]

I love that they actually just went ahead and got a German to play a German. Not like so many other show (most outrageous is still The Blacklist imo, which even took aerial footage of one German city and claimed it was a different one) which don't even try. They don't even need to import the actors (like they did in this case), I'm sure there are many capable ones with native German skills in the US.

Werner was a kind in heart person and honest . I really liked him and his end broke my heart .

Werner is the reason Walt and Jesse have a super lab in BB. Sad they had to kill him for being a big mouth. Even sadder that it was Mike that had to kill him.

Werner spirit do curse the lab.. Tha lab itself have a very dark and evil energy considering all things going inside the lab/product made/people whoever enter.. All is hell

[@Lelandbug]

21:51 Lalo walking around in the world with his schtick reminds me of Anton Chigurh just walking around with his shotgun/bolt gun. Neither of them make any effort either to blend in with their surroundings or to be especially tactical. They just walk around like sore thumbs, inspiring fear and horror.

[@BradsGonnaPlay]

When I was first watching, I would have honestly been equally as satisfied if Lalo had died in that scene compared to when he finally did. The whole Germany arc could have shown that he overstepped his own confidence and paid the price. Lalo was a great antagonist but he did become a bit “super villain-y” towards the end.

[@blazedonakayak5294]

​@BradsGonnaPlay to be fair same happens with gus in season 4. He gains omnipotence in the final acts of season 4. He straight up doesn't get in his car for no reason other then a gut feeling

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

@@blazedonakayak5294 Not really. Gus was forced to somewhere he didn’t plan on going to see Jesse, the person closest to Walter in the middle of having just ordered Walter be executed on sight. He thought Walt was involved with setting up the issue to get Gus in the open and he was right.

[@MynameisBrianZX]

From how Casper kept demanding answers, I interpreted it as Casper being afraid that Lalo was associated with Gus, and you do not dare to kill Gus's men when you're living at his mercy.

[@quackman]

@@blazedonakayak5294 There's a difference between mysterious/coincidental things like Gus's gut feeling (pun intended w Lalo's gut-feeling moment) and straight up getting away with obvious things. Gus did waht he did and things happened the way they did. In this case, it's two people actively looking at and responding to each other with direct, immediate consequences.

[@benpinder889]

It's got nothing to do with love. Werner's death is definitely one of the saddest for me and was Mike's worst kill. Werner even opted to make it easier on Mike. It was simply a position he'd never been in before and he didn't realise he couldn't do it until it was getting to him so much that he decided to take the risk. As intelligent as he was, his judgement was clouded because of his emotions. Emotions often get the better of us.

Werner's end (one of the saddest deaths I've seen on a TV show) had to happen, I mean, we are talking Breaking Bad's essence. There ain't no happy endings to most of characters in this universe. But, scene at 6:30 really gets me because Mike is such a standup guy, he was a man of his word. He warned him, and didn't matter cause Werner would seek escape either way. And finally when Mike's gotta put him down, dude such chills and sadness, this tv series are a piece of work ⭐

[@12to6]

One of my favorite plot lines in all of BB / BCS. Ty

[@jaddal2215]

4:14 Werner says that a project like this can have many things going wrong. Yet he completed the project almost flawlessly. Instead he brought his own demise upon himself by not remaining discrete, something far more basic than the engineering he planned

@@DrSabot-A well, in some countries, dubbing is done in much higher quality, it's a highly regarded profession, and I'd say it's better than reading subtitles Hungary has really good dubbing as an example, US for some reason has really low quality and lazy dubbing, that's why they rather do a remake or just read subtitles, I really don't understand why, since there are a ton of voice actors, who could be used for dubbing foreign language movies

[@bloemkoolendestreetgang450]

@@agbrenveach to their own of course but i will always watch in the original language with subs, to get the “authentic” experience i guess. Also with dubbing, no matter how good, there will always be some moments where you notice it, which takes away some immersion for me. I like subtitles in any case even when i understand the language they’re speaking, because sometimes it makes dialogue easier to follow. Of course i do understand dubs have advantages too, like being able to focus on whats happening on screen better if you dont have to read subs.
