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."

Lalo seems like a nice guy, but littering in the parking lot shows us what a monster he truly is.
I dislike him even more now
@Ryan B. He had me fooled. Thought he was a cool dude. Then he threw the cup onto the parking lot. The lot that Gus keeps spotless. Maybe he will pay the price for his transgression.
@@bh8365 that is fifdee thousands
That last bit was the only act of truth expressed by any of the characters in this whole interaction that was beguiling and deceptive all around.
Lalo would fit right in out here in India. Everyone is littering here all the time.
Nacho’s posture of “I hate this and don’t want to be here.” for the entirety of this kills me every time.
i keep coming back for 1:10
Same. It's extremely relatable!
He’s like that for the entire show XD
Gus and Lalo's conversation in front of Nacho is like me and my wife's interactions after we just had a big fight. We think we're doing an awesome job hiding it from the kids but somehow they pick up on it.
Nacho is a soldier who’s caught between two evil titans: Salamanca and Fring. Remember, Fring figured out that Nacho tried to kill Salamanca, so he has him by the you know whats. Nacho is trying to figure out how to extricate himself and save his father.
Honestly, Lalo gave us a villain that the show needed. He wasn't crazy like Tuco, silent like Hector and the Cousins, or stoic like Gus. He's outgoing and charismatic, but still awesome.
Honestly, I’d like to think of him as a small breath of fresh air.
@dani cali Really? After you’ve seen what he’s done with a box cutter?
He actually appears to be even more stoic than Gus since he’s shown to be disturbingly calm under pressure.
im curious if they'll have a hot but deadly female Salamanca that we havent heard of yet
More calculative and cold blooded and very deductive and stealthy like a sleuth.
I like to think that Lalo really was being sincere about his compliments for the chicken, considering he and Tuco are shown to be excellent cooks
there could be an alternate universe where Salamancas run high quality restaurant chain
@@zavaraninoveuhorky oh hel yeah if every main cast has theirs own restaurants and compete in that area lol
@@markalanajon3295 😂😂😂😂
@@markalanajon3295 Walter White would run The Heisenburger
Maybe he exagerated when talking about the best chicken ever but I'm sure Los Pollos Hermanos in the BB universe is competitive with the best
I would genuinly pay real money to see 2 hours of gus working at Los Pollos Hermanos without any of his criminal life showing up.
Me too

Are you in love with him?

- Show me 😊

Yea their future seems fire.
May I suggest someone to make a good ending meme of this show where both Lalo and Gus ended up as you described
Their relationship has grown very deep
@@xeinem2345 deep underground
I absolutely love the second-hand embarassment Nacho seems to have every time him and Lalo are in a public place
He has that "I am uncomfortable with the situation that you put me through" when Lalo was enjoying the chicken while Gus is out there playing the role of a happy go lucky manager.
Nacho be like: "Sorry to bring you another Salamancas to your restaurant."
It's not embarrassment . He's scared out of his mind . He of all people knows how unpredictable and dangerous Salamancas are and he's not fooled by Lalo's appearance and manner . He is acting as a double agent with Gus and he's worried he will give it out by some small mistake . That's why he is super self-aware around Lalo . Lalo is literally there to figure out what and how it went all wrong for Salamancas . If he gets wind of Nacho's betrayal , Nacho would be a dead man before he could blink .
Right lmao
"Second-Hand Embarrassment"? Oh that's not embarrassment. That's fear. Nacho had his run with Tuco and Tuco is just erratic. Lalo is charismatic and cunning. He is well spoken but every word he spews is poisonous. He's both the boss and the muscle.
lalo’s face is so expressive, yet his eyes are so soulless
impressive how tony dalton captures this
Yup! I think that’s a skill that very few actors possess. Dalton can also do the facial transition effortlessly of a joyful smile to pure menace in the eyes. An example is when he says to Jimmy, “tell me….again.” Gandolfini and Hackman were two of the best to do that move and I think Dalton does it just as well.
well said
I think it's because his eyes are unnaturally focused. He almost NEVER does any side glances.
@@bappojujubes981 Excellent observation.
@@bappojujubes981 he also almost never blinks which makes it tad bit creepier
Lalo is by far the smartest Salamanca. Everything he does is charmingly calculated.

@@11hitmanDagenius elaborate cause i feel like you're delusional
@@11hitmanDagenius There's like 3 main Salamancas, Tuco, Hector and Lalo. Of those 3 Lalo is both the smartest and most charming.
Hector literally scared out all the staff and customers, picked dogshit off his shoes onto the desk, demanded Gus do his bidding - and yet somehow Lalo is more menacing with a smile and some chicken.
Hector was the wolf that comes dressed as a wolf. His intentions are clear as a bell since he wears his emotions on his sleeve, and he doesn't mince words. It is easy to fear someone who is so outwardly menacing since you can see him coming a mile away. However, Lalo is like Hannibal Lecter. He is charming, disciplined, compliments you, makes you think you can trust him and that "it's all good," all while cleverly manipulating you into doing exactly what he wants, or else. He is the one you don't see coming until it's too late.

@@gordendavis3585 🤓
They way Gus looks at Nacho after having the friendliest fake conversation with Lalo is comical & I laugh every time.
1:09 absolute gold
It always cracks me up
What on Earth this Salamanca demon is doing in my restaurant?
Gus’s sudden expression change from friendly manager to ruthless drug boss was always so impressive on the show.
Nacho was also baffled by Lalo's game
Just imagine how frustrating this whole scene has to be for Gus. He's finally gotten Hector, his oldest enemy, out of the way and his reward is he gets ANOTHER Salamanca to deal with. Only far more controlled, charismatic, and dangerous than any Salamanca he's dealt with before.
With Hector out who would run the business, Tuco? No deal for Gus, Tuco got no brains to do it, but Lalo is a very smart guy and that makes him dangerous
Stfu

I thought so too. But then he dropped his cup on the ground. That shows how fucked up he really is.
That's one of the characteristics of narcissists and sociopaths. Gus is pretty charismatic as well.
@@brianwalsh1401 not nearly as much as lalo tho
So is Gus
Gus: “I’M the owner”
Lalo: “REALLY! How lucky for me!”
That was hilarious!
Especially his expressions. 💀
Nacho's embarrassed reaction to their interactions was funny as well too.
I genuinely believe Lalo is just trolling Gus.
@@miguelzurita3216I’ve never seen this show but he definitely is, the way he said “really?!” 😂😂😂
@@noicemate9111 Genuine question, why are you watching clips if you've never seen the show?
0:41 - This is basically my favorite moment in the entire series. He is well aware who Gus is, but when Gus says he's the manager, Lalo acts like he is totally surprised and happy, which is the complete opposite of what he actually is. The way he smiles is just hilarious. Epic actor.
Lalo is by far one the coolest characters in the entire tv shows
Mine as well. 💀
HOW LUCKY FOR ME

Perro you telling me you don't do that too?
@@secredeath Speaking Spanish horribly like Gus? Hell nah i don't
Lalo noticed that Gus's Spanish is bad, he goes back to speak English instead.
@@margarethmichelina5146 At first, I wanted to weep. But still, it could have been worse
@@vand3l You forgot that it's still good to watch the quality, they had Lalo Salamanca to do it right, cause they know that, they're not short minded, they know they have to do it right. Otherwise, it'd be mediocrity, like your idea.
I love how Lalo says "How lucky for me" when he knows exactly who Gus is.
And Nacho's cringing throughout this entire song and dance. Love it.
He knows how to play the public face. Gus' top employee can be sneakily pretty perceptive so it might look strange that Gus approaches 2 sketchy looking guys after the whole thing with Hector barging in. But Lalo plays it perfectly and really seems like a guy who likes chicken lol
"REALLY?"
Actually, how didn't Nacho get recognized by an employee?
When someone talks to me with big eyes, I know they're being vieners.

Tuco is more evil
Some dude at another table is like
"Chill, dude. It's like a slightly better KFC".
Gus: "Explain yourself"
Gus : Did anyone say KFC ?
You dont know his name? Say it!!
That's the thing though. Pay attention to his wording as he "compliments" the food. He's basically saying it's adequate and nothing more. He's not actually praising it despite his tone making it sound like he is.
Gus: “I don’t think we’re alike at all”
Lalo has got to be one of best villains in the Breaking Bad universe I loved how polite, lively, and intelligent Lalo was towards Gus during their conversation, it's almost as if Gus was talking to a cheerful and hyperactive version of himself
Villain?
@@liltrump799 yeah i mean almost everyone in the show are villains but Lalo comes off as one of the blatant ones
He is more like a mexican Mike.
@@raulbetancourt5795 he shows some shades of Gus in him as well
Very well put my friend I agree with you 💯
I didn’t think gus could be topped as a villain until lalo showed up
Lalo looks like a cartel Super Mario lol
He is the smartest Salamanca
I don't think he is a better villain than gus. He is a very interesting character, but gus is just on another level. A friendly fassade, but actually an icecold, calculating businessman, always in control. He runs the whole thing like a company, not like a gang. And while lalo is impulsive, gus only shows emotions when they serve a purpose. Both are ruthless, but I think that lalo actually cares about his family (e.g. hector). Gus on the other hand had no problem of using the box cutter against one of his most loyal men...
@@stefHin very different kinds of villains, hard to say which one is better
Each is unique in their own ways they are someone to be feared if you were to ever cross their paths ‼️🤣 i would say gus is a lot smarter and good at hiding his hate towards the salamancas / eladio crew

I came back to this video just to see that scene. It's quite funny actually.
Gus: "How many Salamancas are you bringing to my restaurant?"
Nacho: "I don't know."
"Hey Gus, listen: I did NOT carried him here. He REALLY wanted to meet you. Not my fault." Nachito baffled face as these two cold blooded murderers casually discuss fried chicken - LMAO.

Not sure if anyone noticed:
In the convo inside the office, whenever Lalo is bullshitting, he is hidden by the shadows. But when he starts telling the truth about why he is there, he leans forward to have the light on him. Gus on the other hand, firmly has one half of his face hidden in darkness
Bravo Vince!

literally noticed this and scrolled until i saw this comment
Ayooooo
2:26 Why is nobody talking about the mindgame that Lalo is playing with Gus? Every word carefully chosen to pick the brain of Gus, trying to see his true feelings, searching for any weakness, strong emotions, etc. Obviously, Gus realizes this and chooses his words carefully too. Brilliant moment. I got goosebumps watching this. It felt like a JCS interrogation.
Exactly.
Ikr? He’s trying to sniff out Gus’ disloyalty to Eladio
BROOO
@@scaf5363more than that. He is trying to come across as a sympathizer. Because gus showed loyalty, especially as no-one else tried to save hector, as though lalo was trying to suggest that he and gus were similar and would benefit from a team up. But if gus accepted, he would be dead.
@@kinkajuu1 amd to go a bit deeper, that was the whole point, to screen him. If Gus showed true greatfulness to Lalos compliments then lalo would back off a bit. But since Gus was playing along, Lalo knew that gus did Something wrong.
If you really didnt do anything wrong you wouldnt be acting, you wouldnt even be aware of the game played. Gus knew, and he showed it to him.. lalo got his confirmation that way so he continued to insvestigate
I would binge watch an entire series about Lalo. Literally doing anything. He can just hang out in his house and I'd tune in nightly
Cooking breakfast and thumping on fish tanks.
Me too
Thought it was just me :)
A show about nothing.
"Taca Taca Taca Taca en mi caballo"
I think what makes Lalo so dangerous is his pursuit for information. He asks questions, and wants to see things with his own eyes. Which makes him a purveyor of perusal.
Show me!
He probably said that more than a few times
He's a human/Mexican lie detector.
Like a cop
@@Onmysheet human/mexican lol
Lalo is a fictive character ! All his " information" are in the story book 🤣
Lalo entering Los Pollo Hermanos is so different than Hector or the twins, and truly sets him up as someone on Gus’s level.
Exactly this… Hector showed he was a gangster with complete and absolute disrespect… The twins showed they were gangsters by just sitting… Lalo was eating and enjoying the food complimented Gus maintained his cover and even when he got being closed doors was thanking Gus for saving Hector’s life…
Gus didn’t know what Lalos motives were and neither do the viewer…. In fact the only way we know Lalo didn’t respect Gus was by him littering showing it was indeed a facade
Hector entering the restaurant: Made chaos, Act like a male Karen, and even smoking
The twins entering the restaurant:
Just sitting there together without ordering food
Lalo entering the restaurant:
Just enjoying his lunch time
Nah he is beyond Gus's level. Gus feels so intimidated by Lalo.
Lalo was definitely Gustavo's greatest threat when it came to the Salamancas, and he immediately recognized this upon meeting him. Just imagine how much more dangerous he would have been if he was the head of the family.
This is such an incredible scene when you realize we're seeing the 2 top villains from their respective series meeting. They're also such polar opposites.
Meh, I would say Chuck has more of a role in BCS than Lalo

I like to think Lalo's feedback on Gus's chicken was the one and only honest thing to come out of his mouth in that entire conversation.
The transition between Lalo's english to his spanish is impeccable. I can't believe I used to watch him in some mexican novelas back when I was a child, he deserves to be working with top directors and film makers in Hollywood
so true. He is one of the best gems in current era acting industry.
Instant man-crush on this guy as soon as I saw him on BCS. He had better be getting calls left and right
What a genius character. His ability to charm people while toying with them, fusing charisma with sarcasm is absolutely terrifying. You have no idea how to feel after everything he says and this gives him unlimited mobility in conversation, like a hall of mirrors.
What a seriously underrated and insightful comment. That's absolutely the best way to describe him.
That's exactly what I was was thinking, even after watching this twice it's still hard to figure out at which points he was being sincere and which points he was putting up a facade, he's a tricky character which is what makes him such an interesting and unique personality
It's a good acting trait. Comes from your childhood
The Hans Landa of Mexico
Yeah this actor is elite. Looks like a mestizo mexican with some french blood, he has quite a unique charm
Tony Dalton masterfully created an unpredictable character by pulling positive and negative facial expressions at the same time, dousing them with sarcasm, menace and humour. For example, when sizing up other people, he often squints his eyes (with virtually no blinking) instead of showing a duchenne smile, or he'll appear hostile whilst simultaneously raising his eyebrows to look "sad" or innocent. This incongruous emotion is intentionally unsettling and very fitting for a psychopathic character. Rarely does it look so effortless on screen.
That is some thorough analysis!
You've made me appreciate his expressions, and I could imagine his face through your words so well
More of a sociopathic character. He puts up a friendly smile to everyone he meets when in reality, hes planned something far more sinister.
@@LaveshNK There's no universally agreed-upon definition of what makes a person a sociopath or a psychopath. Many psychologists don't even distinguish between the two. Psychopaths being more violent and unhinged is just a media trope, in real life diagnosed "psychopaths" can be even more charming and manipulative than "sociopaths."

Dude...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lalo had complete control of that situation. You can tell how Gus was on the defensive during this entire clip, trying not to let anything slip. If you can make Gus that concerned, you're more than dangerous.
Yes, but don't forget that Gus is the most dangerous when he seems to be cornered. That's his strategy: like Russia's scorched earth, he too lets his enemy wound him first, letting them invade his territory only to suddenly deliver the fatal blow from the hinterland. This is how he dealt with the Twins, Bolsa, the Cartel, Arturo and this is how he got to Lalo too. He makes them think they have the upper hand and waits patiently for his turn and then he suddenly crushes his enemies with a single blow. No wonder that Lalo lost his gleeful smile by the last episode. Only then did he realize that his enemy is just as ruthless and marked for death as he himself.
@@3hutp "He makes them think they have the upper hand and waits patiently for his turn and then he suddenly crushes his enemies with a single blow". All of this is true, but remember how Gus died in BB, and you'll see that's exactly what happened to him. Walter devised the plan, but it's important to notice that in the end Gus died at the hands of the Salamanca boss because he lowered his guard.

In regard to pure villains, Tuco was my favorite but Lalo is a close second. I don't see Gus as quite a pure villain just as I don't see Walter as one either even though they were both very villainous.
You really just can’t help but love Lalo as a character. He’s a badass, he’s charming, he’s intelligent. Easily one of the best characters on the show in terms of writing.
whats even better is your display picture. heh heh

💀💀💀💀
idk why but i keep coming back to this scene to see lalo's face at 0:50. I cant stop laughing every time he fakes that surprised expression on his face
Same. 😂
The shot where both are at Gus's office is incredibly clever. Due to the light inside the room, even when infront of each other they both have parts of them hiding in the shadows, mainly their face. People often say more than what they put into words, and seeing how meticulous they both are, it's amazing how much they can play the "neutral game" in order to not express more than what they intend. Brilliant performance by Giancarlo and Tony
bravo for vince too
Well said. What a fantastic scene and fantastic show. Better Call Saul is a lot more subtle in its menacing characters and scenes than Breaking Bad.
Maybe Gus should’ve invested in a desk lamp before he had his face blown off!
@@acaperic359 I keep saying this, BCS is mostly Peter Gould
That's why Vince Gilligan is who he is. It's a normal case of him being a genius and us consumers being mere mortals appreciating the clever ploys.
I love how something as simple as Lalo littering at the very end holds so much meaning. Throughout BCS in particular Gus likes to keep a clean business, clearing tables when Jimmy first meets him, cleaning up after Hector took over his restaurant and litter-picking the parking lot while Mike watches from afar. In just one passing moment Lalo shows all the disrespect he needs to. Such clever writing, props to Gould, Gilligan and the writing team!
Not only hat littering act is about Lalo showing disrespect to Gus, but it also lifts his "gentleman" veil, as in one second you see him acting like a regular punk. It creates a contrasts that tells you how volatile, thus dangerous, his personality shift can be.
Him littering bothered me more than him murdering people. Throwing that trash on the ground... I'm seeing red

B r a v o, V i n c e !
That one single act symbolizes that Lalo is here to mess up Gus's neat and tidy world.
Ironically by another person that is OCD as well.
The way Lalo chews the fried chicken is just genius. It truly shows how he loves chicken and how good Gus’ recipe is. You did it again, Vince
Gus: Now what may I do for you, señor.. ?
Lalo: Salamanca
Gus: *frustrated smile*
These two would have been unstoppable together. One with complete meticulous control and the other who is a free willed and warrior spirit. The way they speak in "code" and act as they're just conducting normal buisness comes so natural between them in their first interaction like they are both masters of deception just in their own manners. Even nacho knows that these 2 together in thi ls scene is like a huge chemical reaction waiting to happen.
I don't know, do cobra's work well together?
It's more like... he has two personalities. Not masks, but genuine personalities. However, unlike people with Bipolar Personality Disorder, Lalo is fully aware of both his personalities, and has full power over switching between them. He uses that gift as a tool.
He only let's out the cold-blooded predator personality, at the time of attack. He never let's anyone see that person until they are already at his mercy.
well it wouldnt really work since gus had a revenge plan against the cartel and lalo would never sit quiet while he kills off the entire cartel leaders

"You'd be crazy to go up against Eladio" The Ice Cold look that Gus gives to Lalo was just SO AMAZING, especially after we know that Gus does in fact go against Eladio and eliminate him and his enforcers as well. Thats what Makes Better Call Saul So great. If you were to watch BCS Before Breaking Bad you'd never be able to feel the power of these moments
It's so crazy how 2 guys can just appear to be having a somewhat friendly business conversation, but the tension is insane. They both know the other is extremely dangerous but are both playing it cool and trying to remain in charge. Lalo is the best character on the show IMO. I like them all but something about Lalo that's awesome.
Their relationship went deep … deep underground!
Lalo is a psychopath......the other Salamancas are sociopaths! That is literally the difference.
Lalo is a monster, just look at what he did to that poor cup, we must raise a gofundme for that cup specifically
"How lucky for me!" I love the delivery! It's almost like he really meant it.
I like how uncomfortable nacho is the entire time
Just like “why am I hare why am I hare this is stupid”
And gus just staring at him like “the hell is this?”
With nacho just “I was dragged hare”
0:50 best part
I love Gus’s IMMEDIATE reaction after lalo gets up and walks to his office. 😂😂😂😂
He was like , is he really a salamaca
The way he says "I wanted to weep" always makes me laugh. So hilariously insincere lmao
Isn’t it true though? He was really emotional when he turned to give Hector one more look before leaving.
Yeah that one was true
But he was being sincere
Lalo is always so genuine but miraculously manages to come off as dishonest. What did he do to deserve such scrutiny 😢
He was definitely putting on a whole show for Gus. Even though he was a bit sad seeing Hector that way, his delivery to Gus was 100% performative and insincere. Hilarious line delivery.
0:21 That delivery is perfect 😂
I love this scene. It's like both Lalo and Gus are actually enjoying acting out as two fellows having a cheerful conversation.. LOL So funny and entertaining scene.
3:11 the face of a man who knows what he is going to do, eventually.
We met Tuco and I thought, what a frightening and scary villain. We meet Gus and we see this even more diabolical villain, then Lalo pops in a is even scarier with his charisma and likeability....he truly makes this show great.
I still think gus is much scarier
1:47 that immediate change of Gus' expression, the lighting, everything is just perfection.
You can almost feel Gus's disgust when a Salamanca expresses their gratitude
1:09
the way he looks at Nacho is funny as shit lmao
i think it's really heartwarming to see that gus is genuinely happy that people love his chicken.
Delighted, in fact!
You can feel the TENSION behind these MASKING SMILES.
Lalo: *"This is the best chicken I've ever had."*
Also: *"I'm gonna poisen his customers."*
This is the moment Lalo Meets Gus. Absolutely chilling.
That's just wild speculation. Until Vince himself comes out and confirms that I won't believe it.
This is so stupid it actually is hilarious
No way, you're actually right?
Vravo Bince
It's been awhile since I laughed out loud at a UA-cam comment.
The lion and the tiger measuring each other up... brilliant scene
I love how Nacho is so fed up at 0:33.
I love the way Lalo tries to manipulate Gus into exposing his treachery by pretending like he wants to work against the Don. And Gus didn't fall for it. Excellent
The way he points at the drink and says “Don’t waste that” is hilarious to me
I also love the way he slides out of the booth
The two best villains in media history meet for the first time. Such an excellent scene, can't wait to see more from both of them in Season 6!
Yeah calm down bud. Both are good but what you said is just cringe.
@@lehtokurppa7824 let him think what he wants, dont be an ass about it
@@instakill2664 I wasn't an ass. Hes free to think what he want's but what he said was a statement presented as a fact, I said what I thought of that. Don't play the white knight.
@@lehtokurppa7824 What he said is inherently his opinion...and he's entitled to. On the other hand, if he says the earth is flat, that's a different matter.
@@lehtokurppa7824 Gus is one of the best for sure
Lmao Gus’ face makes me laugh every time 1:10😂
Hits different after watching last episode 😢
Nachos face, "what do you want from me, it was not my decision to bring him here." 😀
Nacho: the product comes from a moon base guarded by dogs with lasers mounted on their heads
Lalo: show me!
Gus with Lalo😁
Gus with Nacho😐 1:10
After watching the finale, you can go back and notice details that make so much sense. Like when Lalo eats the chicken and says he likes it, it shows that he likes chicken. Bravo Vince!
Also, notice that when he sits in the car it's so that Nacho will take him somewhere by car!
@@3hutp EXACTLY. This is why I make blood sacrifices to Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.
@@3hutp That is so true!
Rewatching this scene multiple times and understanding Lalo’s character in this series, I’m convinced he knows Gus was eventually planning to take out Eladio and the cartel. Almost like he put himself in Gus’s shoes and thought it out how he’d play it considering the history Gus has with the cartel and his current business capabilities and resources required. That’s probably the reason he told Gus to his face - “He’d be crazy to go up against Eladio”
Basically, Indirectly telling Gus, I know what you’re up to.
I think Lalo's greatest strength, compared to the rest of his family, is a kind of keen-eyed humility. Consider Hector after he threatens Mike's granddaughter - he gets what he wants and then "forgets" about Mike (according to Nacho). Hector and Tuco both have this brashness where their ego is easily stroked and they simply assume nobody would dare go against them. They think that once you've put someone "in their place", that's it, you have nothing to fear from them. So Hector, even though he killed Gus's partner in front of him, treats Gus as almost beneath notice.
Lalo seems to be the only one to frankly look at that situation, the past between them, and realise that no, what happened back then is not something Gus would ever forget or move on from. It's a very obvious conclusion but one the others are too arrogant to consider.
he warns bolsa about his suspicions of gus and tells him gus is planning vengeance
@Raylan Givens Well, Gus outplayed Lalo in the end as well.
He 100% suspects that Gus is planning to take them out thats the point.
maybe im reading too much into it, but lalo switching languages complements how he also changed how he spoke. he wanted to trap gus and make him say something bad about eladio, so he switch to spanish to make gus comfortable and more likely catch him slip
Yup, I picked up on that too.
Not that Gus would slip, but it is a small opening move in a long chess game. To be continued
For the record, I'm bilingual and do the same.
Yeah but after listen to how Gus speak spanish he must go back to english LOL
Imagine if Lalo actually invested in Los Pollos Hermanos?
3:32 this is a really underrated camera shot and fantastic acting by giancarlo. gus slowly fades from his fake mask of human emotion back into a sinister, emotionless monster
Lalo has to be one of the most intriguing characters on TV. We know Gus is an invincible powerhouse in BrBa still in BCS, there's this Lalo guy is fully capable of destroying him. But he wasn't even talked about by the cartel and Gus on BrBa so we know he has been dealt with and left far behind by that time. The question is, what DID happen to him! The final season is going to be the best thing in my life yet.
He’s mentioned by Saul in the desert, when Jesse and Walter kidnap, he asks if Lalo sent them
@@thecringeprince2040 yes, I specified that he wasn't mentioned by the characters more directly involved in his life.
@@amandeepdash9014 my bad b
@@amandeepdash9014 still though, if Lalo’s alive we could potentially get a spin off. Imagine following Lalo as he becomes his own Don in Mexico
Either he's gone to Belize or incarcerated
The interesting thing about Lalo is that compared to the other villains in the BB universe, he has actually been the least hostile. Both Hector, Gus, Tuco and Eladio relied on punishment and threats to gain respect from their surroundings. Except for that one guy in the store, Lalo has not attacked anyone unless they tried to kill him, yet everyone is terrified of him. His entire demeanour is so intimidating that he can be the friendliest person to you and talk about the most random things, while STILL getting the message across that you shouldn't mess with him.
Fred disagrees lol
Yes but knowing he's a cartel higher up would scare anyone before even saying word.
All I can say is, S6E7
I believe your view about him might have changed a Lil bit now lol
Id consider Todd to be of a non hostile type
Lalo is honestly one of TVs best villians. He's so charming but terribly evil.
Lalo tossing the soda cup at the very end is the subtle cherry on top. 🍒🥰❤
The best and worst of Lalo it’s his charm and how he genuinely seems like a cool dude, but you buy that for a second and you’re dead meat. That’s what make him so dangerous and a force to be reckon with
Not only that he's a combat specialist. Turns tables on assassins by escaping then returning, and how he climbed through the ceiling at the travel wire without making any noise. So stealthy.
This is also the predatory narcissist playbook. This a dynamic people are intimately familiar with in their day to day lives whether they realise it or not. The scariest monster under the bed is the one that is real.
mate, yes i watched the video so you dont have to repeat obvious stuff
Funny thing is if you really travel to Mexico you’ll notice that the charisma he has is very similar to how people socialize there.
Edit; I was Born in Cholula, Puebla. raised in Oaxaca, Veracruz Xalapa, and grew up in Mexico City.
For anyone that thinks I’m making an assumption of how we Mexicans act I can confidently reaffirm Lalo’s social skills and charm are common in Mexico, and even the norm in some states. Así es mi Mexico lindo y querido 🇲🇽 Saludos a mis Camaradas
Also everything is yellow. I noticed that too
Yes, mexicans behave like that. And its awesome how Lalo finally encapsulates a real latino character. His mexican accent is awesome to hear when in contrast to the english speaker actors trying to speak spanish
perhaps because Lalo is mexican in real life....??
I live in Mexico and nah
@@danielamaris6367 así es como nos comportamos con los extranjeros particularmente
Nacho rubbing his head is just funny knowing these two demon playing polite.
Who’s here after….you know 😅
