From Season 3, Episode 7: "Expenses"
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.

Mike saw a kid about to make a VERY risky gamble to save his father which is what earned Nacho some sympathy and advice. Even if Mike wanted to talk him out of it he knew Nacho wouldn’t let anything happen to his dad. The same Mike won’t let won’t let anything happen to his granddaughter and daughter in law.
Also, it reminds me of Mike's experience with his own son.
Mike didn't want his son to be involved in corruption or any criminal behavior.
And Nacho, doesn't want his dad to be involved in any criminal behavior.
No, this is not true.

A lot of people in the _Breaking Bad_ universe would have been a lot better off if they had listened to Mike.
Imagine a world where Jimmy paid the 5 USD for parking or had enough stickers everytime.
Except Mike's son
@@Ghaltouniyou didn’t have to…
Ironically listening to Mike is what made Nacho get caught by Gus. It was Mike's idea to switch the pills back and that's why Nacho picked them up from the floor. That was the thing that made Gus very suspicious of him.
Yeah, but a lot more people would have been a lot better off if Mike had just shut up and killed Tuco Salamanca like he was hired to do. Sure, Nacho probably still ends up dead, but then Hector never threatens Mike’s family to get Tuco’s sentence reduced, Mike never goes to war with Hector, Hector never tries to take Manny Varga’s business to replace his crippled distribution network, Nacho never tampers with Hector’s heart pills, Lalo never steps in to take Hector’s place, Jimmy McGill never makes his mark defending Lalo, Lalo never kills Howard, Kim sticks around and “Saul Goodman” never consumes Jimmy’s life.
I like how Mike checked for a tracker.
Which is eventually how Nacho got found out
It could have been anywhere though, why only check the gas cap and then stop looking? Not sure if there was further context for him looking there, I've never seen the show.
@@magetaaaaaa Mike found out he was being tracked by the Salamancas in an earlier episode, and suspected that the tracker was on his car, he took the car apart bit by bit eventually finding it was inside the gas cap. He made the assumption that if the Salamancas were tracking Nacho, they would hide it inside the gas cap.
@@MattystarX he was being tracked by gus not the Salamancas
@@iFROS7 Ah you're right bro I got mixed up!
How did that lead to nacho being found out?
I love Nachos transformation over the show
Me too, I hope nothing bad happens to him.
@@MrZega000 Or Mike, I´m sure they all get happy endings :).
Nacho transformed A LOT
This is the exact moment Nacho became Ignacio
Absolute mind blowing transformation
Mike keeps being a dad to guys like Nacho and Jesse. They both gotta have aspects that remind him of his son he lost.
It's probably their age, could be that was how old Matty was when he died.
@@ILove-qr6ms Late teens/ early 20's. Seems about right, they said his son idolized him. Both Nacho & Jesse did a lot for mike unasked.
Mike was given three (I include Jimmy) chances to tell these younger guys to not be crooked and do the right thing but even after losing his son and feeling remorseful that he made him debase himself right before his death, he stuck to his ways. He dug himself deep and showed he didn't learn from his son to try to be a good man. Sure he's not fully responsible for Jimmy, Nacho, or Jesse but it couldn't have been more obvious that these guys needed help like his son did and not to be given criminal advice or have their sins further enabled.
@@LosOjosTristes I mean, 3rd time was the charm, Jesse lived, followed Mikes advice, lived in Alaska away from everyone.
@@nivekian Sure but definitely could have come as early as Jane's death.
I like that Pryce learns a little bit about the business he called Mike knowing It was better than going alone. When in doubt call Ehrmantraut
Lol true. Though Nacho getting past his new home security system probably made him realize he wasn’t safe.
"I'm going to need one more thing from you" Finger: *unzips*
Delete this cursed shit. Now.
Pryce: should I bring out the pies?
Pryce: "You're in my house fatso, and you didn't ask permission."
wtf xd
It's the eye of the needle, Gary, and we must both pass through it.
I'm gonna need one more thing from you ... convince your father to upholster my card with alligator leather! I don't care if it clashes with the car, I just like it!
The seat too, it’s off its axis
@@AbdulGabagool83it’s askew
Mike fell sorry for him because he caused the scenario with hector forcing nachos father to work for him.
True, seems getting rid of Tuco only causes worse problems in this series…
1:58 The answer to how did Mike find Jimmy in the desert
If only Jesse had half the brains as Nacho
Not a very persuasive argument when you realize the former is the one who lived
@@JayRamahi3810Walt stood for Jesse in the end. No one tried to rescue Nacho.
Nacho was in too deep to walk away from this.
He had no other option but to switch Hectors meds with paracetamol or ibuprofen or sugar pills whichever ones he switched them for.
Right before his death, Nacho confirms they were just sugar pills. That was smart because any other actual medication could've brought on symptoms/ side effects that doctors could have traced back to those pills as well as possibly still be circulating in his body after death to be found in an autopsy. Sugar pills will just make it appear he simply stopped taking them or wasn't taking them as often as he should have which doesn't really raise any red flags.
Nacho could have simply added one sugar pill to Hector's bottle. Hector would have taken that pill eventually, and Nacho wouldn't have had to risk switching the pills back.
@@ArchilochusOfParos Hector wouldn't have had issues skipping a pill. He needed to switch the whole bottle
@@BlvxkByrd Ah. Because the meds are cumulative? I'm totally out of my depth here! I thought Hector simply took them when he needed them so if he took a sugar pill at that time then that would do the trick. But if the meds were cumulative then yea I see your point.
@@BlvxkByrdit was ibuprofen, but I guess "yeah, your heart meds? I swapped them for Ibuprofen 10mg" didn't sound as cool
Nacho’s father was like Matty (Mikes son) they both hesitated on taking the money, and just by doing that they were deemed untrustworthy and had to be killed.
Nacho did the right thing, even though he brought it on himself by working with them, in the end fate plays it’s games and you gotta deal with the cards you got.
Cringe
@@haerfgvbag7050 Take some magnesium for your muscle spasms.
In theory, there is one other thing he could have done.
Gone to the cops himself. He's got enough heavy material to get the cops to take him seriously enough to get his dad witness protection, and I doubt that killing the dad is even going to register on the Cartel's radar compared to going after Nacho. There's a good chance he wouldn't have survived (I mean, Lalo probably would have been called up for something like this), but his dad probably would have been fine.
@@nicholasbarber8531
You think the salamanca wouldn't use Nacho's father to stop him from talking?
It is possible, but Hector would have to get his hands on his dad while under police protection for a threat like that to be credible, which is darn tricky considering that they can't kill him in the process, or they lose their leverage. And if he worried about the police dragging their feet, Nacho could ask Mike to keep him safe in the meantime, who he knows full well is a sucker for a request like that.
If Hector knew it was going to happen he could make a move, but if he knew that Nacho was out to get him he probably would have watched his pills better. @@raulbetancourt5795
The ' im not getting into anythimg. Im in' line really breaks me. ' just a kid who knows he fucked with his choices in life and has accepted it
Even sadder is that he has probably been on that path since he was a young teenager and didn't know better. Most people in that life get started very young. And just like Nacho learns it's hard to get out, especially if you have people you love.
That’s the decision that alternated the whole nacho’s universe. If he didn’t crippled hector then gus couldn’t make him his mule, eventually died in a tragic way.
True. But if he didn't, then Hector would have kept butting heads with his dad until he got irritated enough to kill him (which would have happened).
At least this way, his Dad lives which is ultimately all he wanted at the end.
Hector told nacho straight up he didn't trust his father....
And his father was too straight too be hector mule in the long term
His father was gonna get killed
Mike : So you switch the pills to kill Hector?
Nacho : No. I am actually a homeopath.
Mike is the GOAT. Very meticulously methodical. Love him!!❤
this show was never boring I wish I could write like that
Funny that Nacho perfectly fits Vaas' description of Insanity. Keeps getting rid of Salamancas expecting things change but another one appears.
plot twist: Pryce tipped Gus off on Nacho swapping the nitro pills
Crazy that they were talking about all this in front of Pryce, he is so obviously a loose end
And yet ironically he’s the only one in this scene that ended up making it out alive, lmfao.
Nacho needed RICIN
Two actors at the top of their games.
I must know that one more thing!!!
As wise as it sounds, it was Mike's advice which screwed Nacho. It's when Nacho switched the pills back when Gus saw him and turned his into his slave and ultimately got him killed. It might have been better if he never switched them back, even if they found out it was the pills, they might not have known it was him.
Two excellent actors
And thank whoever developed Mike's character! Mike wasn't smart, the writer who created Mike was.
Why was Hector never arrested in connection to the DEA raid and closure of his front ‘El Griego Guiñador’?
Hector probably had a “Danny”running the ice cream shop for him, as Saul Goodman would put it, ready to take the fall. Hector’s name also probably wasn’t on the shop’s paperwork anyway because of his criminal record. For all their mistakes, the Salamancas generally seem to be good at avoiding paper trails.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense (though I wouldn’t have thought that any American law precluded business ownership after felony conviction?) . . .
Makes one wonder if Fring had some casual ‘Danny’ in his Los Pollos warehouse distribution but I think that the size / scale of Fring’s business empire would have made plausible deniability via a Danny a distinctly _implausible_ prospect . . .
Thanks for the response anyway! - _muy_ appreciated _mi amigo_ 👍
@@edwardcatt2399Gus was different!!! He owned all the Los Pollos Hemanos operations so he had his name over all the papers as it is… It’s why he became friends with the DEA as Hank said as it was a case of keeping your enemies close but the more Gus tried to hide his operation from Hank the more he exposed it! Gus hid by operating in plain sight being a member of the community as he was TOO big to stay hidden…
@@SuperJutah - I think that by the time he had the online schematics for the laundry’s industrial washing machine (i.e., the superlab’s concealed door), which didn’t correspond with its on-site photograph that Gomez almost casually snapped whilst walking by it in the two-man DEA inspection, Hank was basically going to get Fring now anyway even if Walt / Hector didn’t get him first in the ambush bombing. There was now too much suspicion coupled with actual hard evidence for suspicious activity centered on Lavandería Brillante . . .
Mike and Nacho have respect for each other they both know none of them will say anything about business to anyone, they have both admitted many things like killing people and where they buried them alot of trust between them
Kid named finger warns nacho about the pill swap plan
I can even hear stressful breathing using earphone. Damn
Everyone was sinking more and more into the mud every day
Truly the moment the kid named Finger needed one more thing from Nacho
Mike knew Nacho was heading into dangerous waters
What did Mike ask from Nacho at the end? I forgot
The location of a civilian, killed by Hector, at the site of an ambush Mike made on one of his trucks. I think.
His name and date of birth if my memory serves me well
@@bobsacemento1125 That was not it, it was in this scene which happened earlier: ua-cam.com/video/badlSlsilfg/v-deo.html
@@bobsacemento1125 You know my friend can get Russian hats for forty bucks? They're not sable, but the difference is negligible.
@@Bout_TreeFiddy So Mike asked Nacho how to buy a Russian hat for forty bucks? Weird.
The one bad pill idea MIGHT work but it is not as sure. Depending on the severity of his case and how fast he reacts. It could work but it is iffy. Most people on this planet take more than one if they feel like their first one ain’t getting it done. So maybe it works but you switch them all and your odds definitely go WAY up.
I wonder what Pryce was thinking while standing there listening to Mike and Nacho talking about Hector, lmfao.
free the guys
There was a very easy way around this. Nacho simply had to add a fake pill to Hector's bottle. Hector would take that fake pill sooner or later, perhaps at a time when Nacho wouldn't even be around. And this would avoid the need to switch the pills back.
Nacho could do that if time was on his side which he hasn't.
Since his dad refused to work for Hector, it was a matter of time the latter would kill him for that.
Except that Gus had some tests on Hector and realized he wasn't on his medicine, so there wasn't any way around that. Nacho's plan was perfect, it was Gus' hatred for Hector and kinda bs sixth sense that tipped him off
If that pill were a placebo a single one probably wouldn't do the trick, especially if it hat to be taken regularly. If it were poison it would most likely be traceable in an autopsy and would lead straight to him.
People occasionally forget to take a pill. One missed pill isn’t likely to kill him, and on top of that, it took getting Hector riled up and screaming for him to suffer that heart attack. There’s no guarantee he would have gotten riled up on that one day he missed.
@@thoringa9816 yeah hector did have an episode where he took the fake pills and was fine after. that was when nacho decided to shoot him, only for hector to suffer another heart attack, only this time the fake pills actually did their job. so it would definitely take more than one to be safe.
*_What was the "one more thing" he needed??_*_ I dont remember!?_
🧐🤔🤨🤷🏼
The place ehere the Good Samaritan was buried
These are the moments when I want to rewatch BCS again but then I remember that Chuck and his nonsense is a HUGE part of that show😬
I don't remember this scene, anyone knows the episode?
I think it’s “ Expenses”
Was he checking the gas tank for a bomb?
A tracking device
Watch the show
I don't get it. What would have Nacho had to gain if Hector became pregnant?
Then Nacho's dad could adopt the baby, which would make him family and thus safe from Hector.
The hell are these comments
Bravo Vince!
Nacho could make extra cash for babysitting.
Hector the hypocrite, constantly talked about the value of family but had no problem threatening the family members of others like Mike and Nacho
the value of HIS family.
what was the one more thing he needed
I forget. Anyone?
la@@winterhaydn
@@winterhaydn Was it the baseball cards that Nacho had stolen from Pryce's apartment?
@@Jehannum2000 - That might be it. I wish I remembered.
they understand their government or not. Can they tell like what the sun said? Did the sun say they understand the government? 🤔💬
He could have switched 1. Then he wouldn't have to switch it back. Eventually he woild grab for the one it wouldn't work and he would die. Gus wouldn't see him pick up the pills and wouldn't go after him.
He didnt turn the heart meds into instant death poison pills. He swapped them for sugar pills, effectively turning hector's meds into placebos. 1 missed pill wouldnt have done it. On top of that, if hector didnt get pissed off and start screaming, it still might have taken months for his heart to start acting up
I wonder why Nacho had to go to the trouble of switching back after Hector had consumed it. What instead if Nacho had simply just put 1 bad pill in to the box of regular pills and put it back. At some point, Hector would have eventually consumed the 1 bad pill after which there is no more trace of the bad pills.
Hector needed to take more than one bad pill for the stroke to occur; it wasn't poison, it was a different medication that would increase the chance of a stroke over time. Therefore the pill bottle needed multiple switched pills.
It isn't poison, it's sugar pills. His idea was he takes enough sugar pills instead of real medicine, his health gets worse gradually instead of him just dying overnight.
When Mike said I'm going to need one more thing from you! He should have pulled down his pants
Haha. Reacher. Nice.
@@ksrmk😅😅😅😅YES!!!
0 comments lets fix this
shit i just realized he could have just switched ONE of the pills and it eventually would have worked without gus finding out
He could do that if time was on his side which he hasn't.
Since his dad refused to work for Hector, it was a matter of time the latter would kill him for that
The pills weren't poisonous, they were just fake ones so Hector's heart condition wasn't being kept in check.
@@revonfyll oh I know. But it seemed like he had a lot of these almost heart attack moments
@@KobaLenk oh shit. Valid point
@@BacklTrack yeah exactly, his health was already on the line, which is where Nacho got the idea from. Nacho thought that if Hector stopped taking his pills for a while, it was only a matter of time before he died of a heart attack. But Hector needed to be taking fake pills for a good while before that happened, missing just a single pill wouldn't really affect his health much. The pills don't really stop a heart attack, they only prevent it.
