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."

hell nah man💀
I can't with the faces he makes lmao
😂😂
Michael Mando is such a brilliant actor. You can see the exact moment Nacho comes to the hopeless realization that Bolsa can’t die because he’s in Breaking Bad.
💀💀
LMAO
It’s actually the hopeless realization that literally everybody in this scene except for him is in breaking bad
@@Mouseproject6-3 with this in mind, I think it’s powerful as all hell that the writers allowed Nacho to be the one that pulls the trigger on himself. He was above all of them in terms of morality, and importance. Having his death be at anyone else’s hands in that scene, even mike, would have been a dishonor to his character. At least he was able to go out with dignity.
@@ajmiller2812 I agree he definitely had the most badass death in the show and possibly the entire BB universe
I appreciate that Victor had no hard feelings about the box cutter incident and came out to protect Gus here
After he witnessed what the last Victor dude died from.

@@Clone-up2geBWAHAHAHA
bro this community is too funny i cant 💀✋
Nacho is brilliant. He plays it so well that Gus isnt incriminated in any way. Plays off their suspicions like a joke, tells everyone he did everything out of pure spite, redirects Hector's hatred from Gus to himself, and reminds everyone that Gus saved Hector's life. The cherry on top was him attempting to kill Bolsa to incriminate himself evern further. Then he goes out on his own terms so that Hector won't get the satisfaction of torturing him
why didn’t he think that the cartel would get his father because of what he did to hector?
@@nokzep8118 Mike gave him his word.
@@nokzep8118That's why he called Mike
@@paxonite-7bd5thats bs tho. Mike cant stop the salamancas of they wanted to kill nachos father and gus wouldnt care
Siding with Salamancas would have been better for Ignacio.
Hector is the one who threat his father but Lalo would help him out.
Nacho made a mistake when he was ploting behind Lalo's back, unlike Salamancas fring would never let him out, ever..
Literally everyone in that scene but Nacho had Breaking Bad plot armor. What a way to go. Dude was outnumbered by not only more guys but chronology too.
I understand why nacho dipped
@@arkham_miami Goddangit
Up until that scene, I really hoped he would get away with his dad.
You have to realize everyone in that scene is dead at the end of breaking bad
@@vincentnouwens9393 missed the point :/
Actually, Nacho survived and went to an island somewhere in Asia to explain to the locals what is definition of insanity. Bravo Vins!
And then he survived being there and went on a deserted island with a coconut friend Castaway style.
I heard he changed his name to Vaas Montenegro
@@mitchellkrever421 I can confirm this is true. I'm one of the locals..

@@aunnyy D:
It boggles my mind why Michael Mando is still not getting bigger roles over the past years. Dude is an incredible actor.
ikr, he is the sole reason I watched Breaking Bad so I can watch him at Better Call Saul. His performance with Vaas impressed me so much and Nacho was amazing, I really wish we had more "last episode" Nacho tbh, what a performance.
The best role he got was Vaas in Far Cry 3
I was expecting Nacho to be more a little like Vaas. Dude got talent to play psychopaths. Truly amazing actor
@@ivana1755 Yes! Same here
As soon as I saw him in Far Cry 3 I assumed that meant he made it, he got big, and now he'll be all over the place. Instead I haven't seen anything of him other than BCS.
In his final moments Nacho thought about how awesome Pryce's yellow hummer was and regretted that he insulted it.
☠️
The man, the myth, the squat clobber
how tf are you here
From the sopranos to here the algorithm works in wonderful ways to bring us both here 😂🤷🏻♂️
And for stealing his baseball cards
I will never tire of his “you think of me” line. You feel that down to your soul, and weirdly it makes it feel as if he’s the only person who’s leaving that place satisfied despite the context.
Gus was probably pretty satisfied at the outcome too. No loose ends and had Hector redirected once more.
@@sadrootbeer I actually feel differently. Gus wanted Hector to suffer and BE the one who causes him suffering. Nacho in a way also took away THAT from him. He can have not even satisfaction now of Hector suspecting he did that to him as Gus most definitely wants Hector to know what he did to him.
He goes full DEMON in that moment, and it's honestly kinda awesome.
I cringed
@@hyvsan9425🤓
2:10
Imagine how Gus heart must have been beating when Nacho teased “…him?”
Nacho had a chance to snitch on Gus but he decided to scare him a little and die on his terms.
He went out on his own terms. Gave no one else present the satisfaction.
What a perfect character.
I think he borrowed elements from Jesse in a really interesting way
@@ShiddyKong He's like a more competent version of Jesse haha (at least in the early days)
@@That0therGeorge He is in the majority of aspects the opposite of Jesse. The only thing they share is that they were young men and both sold drugs.
@@cristianestrada708 ong mfs are reaching 🤣
@@cristianestrada708 I think them both wanting to get out of the game but being forced to remain, but still have a good connection with Mike, are quite specific things they have in common.
One just got more lucky in the end.
I love the way he glares at Gus as he calls Lalo a soulless pig. You can tell those words are actually directed at him.
actually no he really wanted that for lalo he doesnt really whole anything against fring. i mean sure he really hates fring but he hates the salamancas even more to the point were hes happy to give his life for fring if it means they die and if it means his dads life is protected
No he’s not. Fring threatened his father’s life too. Right in front of nacho.
@@randomizer3132 Nah I think Nacho kind of liked Lalo and felt bad for what he had to do, even if was in order to save his father.
I mean.... he probably also means it for Lalo too.
@@vondervent especially when he asked the assassins if they’re gonna “do it clean” and not hurt any of the others at Lalo’s hacienda
Mando’s acting was great but no other actor could convey what Hector could without even speaking. RIP Mark Margolis.
I didn't know he died. Wow
Yeah, RIP and great actor too but God, I hated Lalo's Tio
@@miguelslv then he did his job very well!! It’s funny because he was the sweetest guy in real life and best friends with Gus’ actor, shows how good he was
Rip
he's gone??
Why was there no news?
He has a very long acting career. I saw a great 80s film with him it it.
The way Mike is visibly affected by nachos inevitable death was awe inducing. Michaels inept emotional attachment to those that are in the game but are still decent human beings is unparalleled. He cared about Ignacio the way he does Jesse in the BB series because Ignacio carried himself the same way Jesse did. Flawed but selfless. Ignacio cared immensely about his family and the betterment of his name and valor much more than he showed an interest in the fruits of being a criminal. That being said, Ignacio and jesse are still two very different characters but share similar morals and personal traits which is so damn cool.
I don't think Mr. Varga and Pinkman are similar in the eyes of Mike. He only befriended Pinkman under Fring's orders, but when he finally snaps and tells Mr. White what he really thinks, he says that Mr. White should've let Pinkman perish in the hands of Fring's thugs.
Varga on the other hand, really earned his respect.
@@nashooo5903 season 5 tho? there mike is in no obligation to be friends with Jesse, yet he still shows some care and respect to him, if he didn't care at all about jesse, both him and walt would have been dead the moment mike found out about Gustavo's death, so while yes mike cared way more about nacho, he also eventually did for jesse too.
Michael is always sympathetic to those young men that remind him of his son.
The way nacho said “you think of me!!” Is a perfect example of acting at its best.
His voice changes. I've seen it 100 times and it gets better and better every time
Loved that delivery as well. Michael Mando is an actor to watch; smart guy - he speaks four languages.
I just saw this for the first time the other day and his acting was so gripping I started tearing up at his death. Poor Nacho.
An amateur actor might have screamed that line out, he growled it out with such vitriolic hate, it was beautiful and gut wrenching.
His next line was going to be "No! I am the one who knocks!" but then he realises it belongs to Waltuh
Yeah, there was some writing too.
"There are good deaths, and there are bad deaths."
That was pretty DAMN good death.
And ironically, Bolsa ended up having a bad death: Hiding inside his house and then getting gunned down by feds
Truth
When you know your gonna die I'd think many of us would say I'll go out on my terms not anywhere else's...
"A good death is it's own reward"
- Faora-Ul, Man of Steel
So damn true
I love how he says that "you think of me". Michael Mando acted angry so well in that moment. I got chills
Reminds me of Heath Ledger's "LOOK AT ME" in The Dark Knight
@@guge7490 exactly
That speech reminded me of Tyrion's trial and of Olenna's "I want her to know it was me" 😂
He looked around and realised everyone standing around him had breaking bad plot armour so he shot himself.
😂
The way Hector shoots Nacho’s corpse out of pure rage from his wheelchair! Safe to say Nacho got the desired result. 😂😂😂😂
That scene had me going🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Hector is such a good guy 😂🤣🤣
Nacho a rat needed to be burned alive
It shows what a complete miserable old POS Hector truly is.
The saddest part is that he never got out of the criminal world he desperately tried to escape.
It's so sad, him and Jesse got the opposite endings.
Jesse: Got out
Nacho: Didn't get out
He’s Christ crucified
he could have done it, but then his father would have been killed so he made his choice
It’s a scripted series, not a true story. 😂
@@Cwgrlup Ok? That's what fiction Is
This is the most badass death of the breaking bad universe. He died on his own terms, not giving anyone the satisfaction, obtaining a sadistic pleasure in confessing he was the one who crippled the feared Salamanca family, and to watch them being helpless while he shot himself knowing that his father is safe.
How he didn't receive an insane amount of praise for this is beyond belief. He deserves an award for this role. What a scene.
I like how everyone immediately was on guard when he broke out of his handcuffs, but not Hector, shows the man is a real one, not afraid to die

The deep breath Nacho takes at 0:07 gave me literal chills the first time i saw it, you can really tell he's completely resigned himself with his impending doom and he's fully aware of the fact that there's nothing he can do to prevent it. Since not even Mike dared to help him escape death i think it's heavily implied that going against Don Eladio's cartel wasn't the main problem here, but rather waging a one-man war against the timeline already established by our lord and saviour Vince Gilligan and, honestly, who can blame the guy for looking so desperate against an adversary like that?
zip it up when ur finished
@@bestbuy4436😂
I also loved how shortly before this there was the weird, moving, dizzying shot of all of them standing there. Really captured the feeling of incomprehensible doom.
Its a show its not that serious
@@mccombo1512 Do people like you exist just to make others feel small about themselves?
I never noticed this before but at 4:17 you can see Jeremiah Bitsui (Victor) struggle to not laugh at the twins carrying Hector in his wheelchair
You could see it in a way where Victor was laughing because he and Gus’ operation got away with it, and Nacho not ratting him out
this is what got him killed in BB 🤣
Pretty in-character reaction tbh
Hell nah, Good catch 😂😂😂
They also hated the Salamanca family lol
The fact you see Mike is about to cry speaks very high volumes about Nacho
Fr and nobody talks about it
Mike sees his and his son's relationship in nacho and his love for his father. Mike didn't wanted nacho and his father to go through what he went through.
@@aadityasharma6855 Not really the same, Nacho is a "good" person compared to most criminals in this narrative but he is still a criminal who worked for the cartel even if he just hang with the wrong people when he was young. Also Mike was crooked and Nachos father wasn't. Nachos father is probably the most honest person in the whole serious.
Mike have son complex
@@wdynpn sonny issues
Nacho went out like a man. One of the best death scenes in history
0:51 when Nacho looks towards to Gus. For a moment Gus thought he is going down with him. I can see the fear in Gustavo’s eyes
I love two things most about this scene. Displaying Hector's pathetic impotence as he shoots the man he hates but can do nothing more to hurt, as the man he hates even more drives off scot free. And the fact that literally everyone in this scene is dead by the end of breaking bad, making Nacho only the first domino to fall.
With Mike being the last domino to fall
Watching better call Saul after breaking bad, i just go through like “he’s dead… she’s dead… they’re all dead…” it’s sad
Mike is as far removed from this discussion as Huell and his congregation alibi @@joethegoat7731
@@seewhativesceneevery last one of these characters dies. Mike included
@@joethegoat7731mile wasn’t the last to fall… unless you mean from this series but if you mean as a whole as in from better call Saul and breaking bad…. That would be Walter he was the last domino to fall.
You can feel Hector's desperation when he wanted to tell everyone Gus was involved, at that point he was just seen as insane by his family.
And even if the Twins believed him, not like they’d be much help anyways. They’ll always be as silent as a statue even in the time of Hector’s need.
BCS-era Hector is just Mexican drug lord Chuck.
DING DING DING DING DING DING.
So, was Gus involved? Real question. And I promise, I won't tell a soul ...
Hector was basically Chuck, both from opposite sides of the story.
3:01 I don't think I've ever seen such a visceral portrayal of rage than right here. Incredible acting.
Maybe the show's best dark comedic moment is the cousins knowing exactly what Hector wanted and obliged like he was a child. Even the way they hand him the gun.
There are good deaths, and there are bad deaths.
Nacho - good death
Howard - bad death
nacho wasnt a good death tho
Howard's was a bad death but here Bolsa meant being tortured to death by the Salamanca twins and compared to that even Howard's was good
Both went on a trip to Belize
Gus - half death
Chuck - 🔥 death
On paper you'd think their deaths would be swapped.
"You'll think of me". Still gives me chills to this day.

Hector getting his own shots in at the end is priceless.
He didn't get nothing in. Might as well shot the sky.
The way it looks and sounds too makes it look like a pea-shooter
"YOU THINK OF ME"! ..........god what a line, that was perfect. His cynical voice and anger was portrayed perfectly, what an actor
You just know those words haunted Hector for the rest of his life.
I have to believe that Michael Mando is a man who has felt true rage before, and I also have to believe that few actors have, because rarely have I seen true rage played so convincingly.
Reminds me of Homelanders "ASHLEY, LOOK AT ME"
@@shadowwylde They also haunted Gus because Nacho got the revenge on Hector that Gus spent half his life chasing and feels like it was stolen from him.
I always liked the look of betrayal from the twins who normally don't show emotion because they gave him blood so they considered nacho as one of their own
Defiently the twins did like nacho you could easily see the respected him more then others, i mean one of them stood over nacho defending him then gave him the "are you ok?" with concern face after the gang shootout

@@alwayjohnrallos7359 i mean everything was fine until hector wanted to use his dad to smuggle drugs
@@erich1380Nah nacho was always biting the hand that feeds him, plotted to get Tuco locked up before Hector tried to get his pops in the game, prolly would’ve tried to kill Hector at some point regardless
@@yourplug3594Tuco? 'cmon.
That's not biting the hand that feeds, that's biting the hand that blew another man's brains out with a sawed-off shotgun and buried brain & skull shrapnel in his chest. You'd probably want a series of locked doors between you and that hand too.
Mark Margolis will live forever because we will be rewatching BCS and BB clips forever. Outstanding work!
Michael Mando and Mark Margolis acting on this scene are just god tier, you can't top that, those eyes, the rage, the resentment, Margolis' facial expressions when doing Hector are just unmatched, RIP to this legend
The look in his eyes when he tells Hector how he put him in the chair sends chills. Oscar-worthy performance and one of the best scenes we've had from this franchise

@@ramhthewatermelon ok but for this episode specifically, there should be like a man of the episode like in football there’s man of the match, definitely deserves best performance of this episode
@@markduncanspencerjr. This episode is focused on Nacho so obviously the Mando's performance is the most memorable of the episode
@@ramhthewatermelon if all the characters have 10/10 acting saying it's pure exaggeration is rude, don't ya think? The episode has what in my opinion is the best performance start to finish not just mentioning the moment of this episode, which is also Subjective so saying "pure exaggeration" makes me think you took it the wrong way. In my own opinion I believe Nacho had the most powerful acting of an episode, if you want it specified down to the raw bone.
R.I.P Mark Margolis you'll shall be missed
This is embarrassing, but I was CONVINCED that Nacho was an established Breaking Bad character, who simply had to have survived Better Call Saul. I've no idea how young I thought he looked in BB. All through this arc I kept thinking "hmmm how is Nacho going to survive this time" so this scene hit me like a bag of bricks.
So you watched Breaking Bad and still thought he was a character in it? I’m confused
That's exactly it, yeah. I watched BB when it aired, then BCS's first few seasons as they came out. Then I stopped for a couple years. When I came back to finish BCS, I already felt like I had been watching Nacho for several years, which was true, but it got mixed up with believing he had been in BB and interacting with Walter White and everything.
I had the same experience, I could’ve sworn Nacho was like Victor, in the background and quiet, throughout BB. So every time he was near death I thought “wait is he actually in BB??” So when he died it also hit me like bricks 😵💫😵💫 Delusional
that must've been a good feeling
The best watching experiences are when you feel fooled/shocked. So I envy your experience!
I know most fans like to brag "I saw that coming." But I love the exact opposite.
I love how after it happens, Juan Bolsa is just like “okay class dismissed”
He be like "Ayo boys, why those guns point @me? I can't even stand straight my achilees tendon Nacho cut"
Shouldn’t his ears be hurting
@@Shannnnnnnnnnnnn yes but tv
@@Shannnnnnnnnnnnnthere was probably a silencer on the gun
@@magmamusic2348 Well unless you don't have ears, it's pretty obvious it didn't
A part of me was hoping that Nacho would be able to think his way out of this mess. But, the logical side of me knew that he had to die. He had signed his death warrant the moment he betrayed Lalo. He had to choose between his life or his dad's life. Honestly, he had become the only character with any true sense of nobility and morality. He knew what the right choice was.
On that note, Michael Mando deserved an Emmy all the way. The way he played that final monologue was flawless and terrifying. The fact he didn't even get nominated is a travesty.
@@AlexRodriguez-po4sd Emmy is for posers anyway, anyone that appreciates the art of cinematography would give BCS every single award there is at this point, perfect show
He signed his death warrant the moment when Gus found out his secret that he switched Hector’s meds and put the latter in that chair and then forced Nacho to watch as he suffocated Arturo to death
Yeah. At that point he was basically choosing between dying and protecting his dad or being tortured to death and still probably having his dad killed. He's a really nuanced character, I like that about him.
Wrong, his dad and Kim were the only persons with sense of morality
How much pain this character goes through the series, brilliant writing and impeccable acting
The fact that hector shots nacho's body multiple times shows how nacho's won against him
"You'll think of me" stands right next to scenes like "I'm the one who knocks", "you're too stupid to see", "I watched Jane die" etc. Awesome performance by everyone on the screen.
You missed "i fondled Ted"
Not as memorable as “Yep yep yep yep”
Literally?
what about "HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT"
“This chicanery? Slippin jimmy with a law degree? What a sick joke!”
One of, if not the most perfect scenes in the entire franchise. I've rewatched this moment several times even months after the shows come to a finish, because nothing can give more goosebumps than this. Nacho is one of the very few characters throughout breaking bad and better call saul to get his own last laugh. He insulted everyone, stole their satisfaction whilst obeying Gus' orders to keep his dad safe, and he impacted breaking bad's entire storyline by ruining hector's life. What a perfect character.
well said 👏🏼
Bro for me...this was the best moment in the S6 though i was interested in how the story of Lalo comes to an end.
Arcane would like to have a word with you.
@Ilir Alushi bb?
Great comment. Nacho is probably my favourite character in the whole universe. Just the right amount of badass and pragmatism. The way he went out was perfect I was literally the pikachu meme when I watched it live!
“There are good deaths and bad deaths, tell me what I need to know and I’ll give you a good one.”
I think nacho made that decision himself
One of the few scenes in the whole series where Gus is truly powerless. He was entirely at Nacho’s mercy here
3:04 good lord that phrase is spoken so violently. Props to Michael Mando, he killed it as Nacho
He killed it as nacho and he literally killed nacho haha
I hear a little bit of Vaas in there
@@sadstarfish7 I seriously think his performance as Nacho outshines his Farcry 3 character
No pun intended 😅😂
I've said things more violently to my elementary school students.
Nacho was a legend and was my favourite character throughout the whole series. Went out like a boss
He is one of the very few that went out on his own terms.
And basically flipping hector off even more not giving him the satisfaction of torturing him
@@MxPigeon no he didn’t. It’s not “on your own terms” if you’re literally told you’re going to die that same day anyway.
@@machakco who asked?
@@invincibledrank460 who asked what? There wasn’t a single question asked in this comment section prior to your comment. Only statement replies.
Can see all the emotion bottled up after all these seasons come spilling out from what he's experienced.
Its crazy how Gus's priciples clouds his judgement over Varga, Varga wouldve been a truly indispensable for Gus but Gus's ignorance in judging Varga as a "dog who bites every owners hand" prevented this. Varga wanted the Salamancas dead because they threatened his family, anybody would do the same! An enemy of your enemy is a friend
The fact that a year later, wildflowers are growing in the spot where Nacho fell is absolutely beautiful to me. Like the desert itself was mourning him.
Did we see this in the show? What episode?
@@Mr007jamster the beginning of episode 3 season 6, same episode nacho died
Oh wow, now I understand the symbolism of that opening scene.
now im crying again😢😢
I did not catch that detail. Ty so much
Michael Mando may not have won an award for this, but I think everyone will agree that being admired by viewers is 100x more valuable to an actor than any award ever could be.
Yeah can’t wait to see what that actor does next. Great performance, great portrayal
who still cares about awards?
@Salvador Haha hopefully nobody. Same as with journalists and critics; people are realising how skewed their judgments of anything are.
Awards mean nothing, it's all political b.s.
While I agree with what you said, I also have to say winning some type of award for acting is definitely gonna open up some more doors, think of it as adding a new thing to your resume, it never hurts lol
I never noticed it until now, but there’s a moment at 3:32 where Nacho stops looking around and his face relaxes and you can see in his eyes that he is at peace with his decision. He realizes that they can’t and won’t be able to get to him. He has the upper hand in terms of deciding his own fate. What a performance.
I also like to think that moment is him staring Mike in the eyes as he shoots himself in the head. It acts like a final moment between the two characters where Nacho basically says "I held up my end of the bargain, hold up yours."
@@stormfish9090 I feel like nacho should of shot the twins and Hector while he stole Bolsas gun that way he'd get out of there alive and have the Salamanca's dead. He could of used Bolsa as a shield too
@@Sevan_UPbreaking bad plot armor
@@Grzywitto sadly yeah
@sev153 I kind of like the feeling that there isn't a way out of it. And I think nacho knew that seasons ago. The only thing matter to him was his father surviving
Nacho exposed everything that he did and I love it, the anger and passion is on another level.
nacho varga has my heart through the whole show
I love how the show led you to focus on how much Nacho had been mistreated by Gus, to the point that you almost forgot that the real reason for everything Nacho had gone through was Hector.
Don't forget Gus was the first character we saw who despised Hector so we were set up to be surprised Nacho hated him almost as much as Gus.
Yeah, I only just watched this episode and I had that exact reaction. I was thinking about how sad it was that Nacho was going to die to protect Gus because of what he did when he was forced to work for Gus. Because he said "I put you in that chair!", I only then remembered that detail and realised how badass Nacho's death actually was. "YOU THINK OF ME!". Such a great line.
The moment after Nacho shot himself, at 3:36, you can see a nearly intangible change in Gus’ expression. This was unexpected for him, not the servant he once treated as a dog that should be restrained. Nacho died like a man on his own terms, and no longer had to beg anyone. Gus was shocked but he needed to hide it still.
In addition, at 4:21, Gus was walking firmly but his face was serious, dignified, and perhaps… sad, compared to Victor and Tyrus who can’t hide their smirks anymore. This is a great characterization of Gus’ arc: he realized that he mistreated Nacho and now Nacho’s death earned his respect. I guess these two scenes may explain why Gus had a place of respect for Jesse once he realized Jesse’s potential (since Jesse is a second Nacho in a way), and why he did a monologue similar to Nacho’s in his later confrontation with Lalo.
I always wondered what changed gus' mind about "fear not being a good motivator" after seeing how treated nacho. But his death definitely did it for gus. Nacho only went with all of this because he trusted mike, not because he was afraid of gus.
@@artistocraaat I think this scene made Gus realise that nacho really hated the Salamancas with a passion… and in a way nacho would have gladly helped Gus destroy the Salamancas.
I agree. Even though he'd seen Nacho as nothing more than a tool, Gus couldn't help but acknowledge that Nacho would've successfully killed Hector if he hadn't revived him long enough for the paramedics to arrive. Gus now realized that Nacho hated Hector and the Salamancas almost, or, as much as he did. At 4:32, Gus solemnly gives Nacho's corpse another look before entering the van; it was absolute respect.
@@artistocraaat I always viewed it as Gus using fear as a demotivater. He didn't believe fear to be an effective motivator to get Walt to start cooking in the lab, but he did view it as an effective demotivater to get Walt to stop cooking and to not interfere with the hit on Hank. "I will kill your infant daughter" never struck me as hypocrisy of Gus's words, that was him using fear as a very strong demotivater.
I guess Nacho was worthy of his respect

This shouldn't have made me laugh 😂😂
I remember when nacho died I could barely believe it, I was so attached to the character. The gunshots still going on as the end credits of the episode start playing was a genius decision from the writers room to let his death sink in and actually leave you thinking “wow, he’s actually dead”
Out of all the deaths in the series, I believe Nacho's passing was the most heart-wrenching. While Chuck, Howard, and Lalo didn't quite resonate with me, Nacho's character, a criminal who often displayed moments of moral conscience, ultimately sacrificed his own life to save his honest father. His selflessness and complexity made him a truly remarkable and unforgettable character.
Exactly
I felt like Chucks was more tragic considering it really didn't need to happen while Nachos death was sadder because even though he died he got out at the end on his terms
@@thepowerofsand6180 yup, Chuck's delusional behavior got the best of him. The game got the best of Nacho. I still think he was close, but something tells me Nacho's father would've never agreed to run to Canada.
I dont really feel anything about Lalo and Chuck's deaths. Lalo definetly deserved it. But Howard's death.. man.. it just sad..
Nacho is the best character in all of breaking bad and better call Saul imo
The ironic thing is, Nacho had arguably the best ending than the rest of the characters in this show. He definitely got it better than the rest of the people in this scene.
how?
@@rithikdhakshnamoorthy2974 he died with satisfaction, knowing that his father is safe. He got to choose his death on his own terms. The only other character who did that was Walt
And the fact that his death was swift and clean
@@krypticunlimited6925 mf think he is Waltur
That's a good point. Quick death compared to hector, gus, the twins, and the henchmen. All died quite brutally.
You could tell nacho really hurt hector just by the way hector looked, imagine someone telling you that they are the ones who made you crippled and all this time you thought it was some disease
4:21 You can see Victor smiling, I'm so glad of what gus did to him in breaking bad.
I love Hector's expression changes as Nacho claims responsibility for his stroke. First there's the confusion, and then he mentions the sugar pills and you just see that click as Hector just silently goes, "YOU...!", and his breath hitches and speeds up. You can just feel the silent, impotent rage at realizing Nacho is just sitting there *gloating* about literally ruining his life.
When the twins lifted his wheelchair to bring him closer I swear I though he was going to drop a deuce on his body
If he was able bodied then definitely
I still think the most overlooked/ underrated part of this episode is mike saying "do it" under his breath, such an interesting detail that makes me question what mike would have done if nacho shot bolsa instead
I imagine he would have just killed the cousins and then let Gus decide what to do with Hector since he was helpless
@@mangothedango no aint no way the only way out for nacho if that happened would be to buy a vacuum but they didnt even meet the guy at this point so idk.
Nacho was still a dead man even if Bolsa went down with him, he would've been gunned down by Marco and Leonel when he fired the shot.
he just wanted nacho to get some kind of "revenge" before he died, mike wouldn't kill anyone if that happened because he knows gus wouldn't like it
Mike could have eliminated every last one of them.
I love that the camera cuts to Gus the moment Nacho shoots himself as if this was all in his shadow and because of him. Genius editing, genius directing
My favourite scene in the entire series, so bittersweet yet glad nacho went out by his own hand (absolutely epic gamer style) 10/10
Nacho had one of the most badass deaths I’ve ever seen dude really gave everyone the finger and went out his own way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nacho named Finger:
Finger named Nacho:
@@SirLiamTheGreat Finger stain named nacho cheese:
Abraham told Negan to suck my nuts before Negan killed him.
Nacho: That's cute. I ended my life on my own terms.
And was in this moment that Nacho became Finger
2:58 His eyes flare up with such _rage_ when he says this. Brilliant acting.
" You think of me " is as good as " I am the danger "
It's cool how when he says "there are good deaths and there are bad deaths" the camera shows a bunch of different tools that would probably be used on him as a part of the "bad death" inside the shed
Throughout the whole series Nacho was an underdog that was just used by the Salamancas and Gus. Awesome that his final scene is finally with him in control over everyone. He's got leverage over Gus now, and taunted Hector about the fact that he's responsible for his condition, then died on his own conditions. Legend.
And he _covered_ for Gus so Gus would cause even _more_ harm to the Salamancas.
This was both a sad and satisfying episode. I was really rooting for Nacho to escape and live with his dad somewhere else, but it really broke me that he had to die. It was satisfying because he made Hector know the fact that he was the one who put him in that wheelchair before dying. He made sure that Hector will remember that his whole life. He was such a badass in his last moments. It truly gave me the chills.
Nacho was one of the very few characters in the breaking bad universe that actually went out on his own terms. that's more than what Walter got in perspective.
Everyone gets “chills” over something these days. Overused term.
RIP HECTOR🤧🙏
3:52 "Oooh, right he's on breaking bad, almost forgot"
You can see Mike saw Nacho the way he saw Jesse, two young men in the game but both had good hearts. Mike was annoyed they were even in the game in the first place, and tried to look out for them the best he could. It all goes back to Mike's son, who was also apparently a good hearted man but he didn't get into the game until the very end and that was on Mike's advice
Yeah mike really looked out for nacho by letting him get killed
I think Mike respected him and knew Nacho got mixed up with some bad people. He thought of his own son who was killed pretty much in the same way but by fellow officers. Mike later goes to nachos dad so he knows the truth and never has to travel the same path
@@RabbidTheNabbit I'm pretty sure he couldn't do anything at all in that situation lol
There's no one that I wanted to survive more than Nacho 😭😭😭

One of the best character development in a TV Series! Sad guy had to be gone!
The way he says “you think of me” just hits different. Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen
Same here. That gave me chills. Those words haunted Hector from that day forward.
Reminded me of the Dark Knight Joker. "LOOOK AT ME!"
Seeing Mike near tears and crying as he walks away from his post. Gut-wrenching stuff. Bravo Vince
Bravo Gould! Vince isn't the person to credit for this scene
@@elliebingonah bravo vince

Bravo buttwads!
I can't believe you still say Bravo Vince
Can we just mention the pure art that is the music, gives me chills every time, it's so nerve racking and unsettling and perfectly show Nachos emotions. Just perfect
Nobody even mentioning how hard it must be having to walk away hearing gunshots just riddle the body of someone you care about. And you can’t do anything about it. Heart breaking stuff. Loved Nacho :(
3:00 "you think of mee!!!"
eaqually badass as "im not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with mee!!"
Powerful scene. Nacho knew there was no way out for him so he went with the least worst option. RIP Nacho.
The entire episode leading up to this is one of my favorite episodes ever. The cat and mouse chase, Nacho's call to his father, and this...👌
all we wanted was for nacho and papa varga to have a good life together. in season 5 i knew nacho wouldn’t be able to get away, at least Nacho went out on his own terms…. it’s so sad.
I think after Nacho had died everyone but Hector felt at least some kind of sadness about it, in a way. Earlier in the series Nacho had risked life and limb in assisting the Twins, even with a bullet wound, which would no doubt earn the respects of most people. And respect is valued highly in the Salamanca Family. I couldn't help but see them feel a little betrayed as he voiced his true feelings about the Salamancas, almost hurt. Maybe even feeling as though it was a shame that he died as they used to think highly of him.
Gus seemed shaken by Nacho in this scene, especially since he probably though Nacho would go back on his word and sell him out. But as he voiced his sheer contempt it looked like Gus found a kindred spirit in Nacho, bearing the same hatred for that family. Maybe even some sympathy as he walked away.
Mike was obviously saddened, he cared for Nacho and even vouched he leave the crime world without consequence. He knew what was coming, and quietly urged Nacho to do what had to be done. Almost cried afterwards. He might've saw a bit of Nacho in Jesse later on.
Nah, Tyrus and Victor didn't feel any sadness. Victor smirked after Nacho killed himself.
@@TheGabberman9000Gus would make up for that later. Without connection, but karma still
Nobody was sad for Nacho's death but his father and Mike. Gus was relieved that this loose end was finally tied up, the Salamancas had no more respect for him after he betrayed them and got Lalo "killed". Gus knew that Nacho was not going to sell him but was relieved nevertheless that he didn't do so. Getting his father safe and far from all this madness was ultimately what led Nacho to take that bullet in his head and clear Gustavo so he could keep his word of leaving his father alone. Gustavo is ruthless, soulless and didn't care who he had to use or get killed in order to complete his revenge against the Salamancas.
Honestly, this scene I feel should make people hate Fring as much as they hate the Salamancas. It's all because of Gus that Nacho had been forced to endure this fate, even if it meant his father would be alive at the end of it all. Gus had bullied and forced Nacho to be his lap dog up until the very end, so the fact Nacho managed to go out the way he wanted was the one ounce of freedom he could provide for himself.
Gus can be seen as somewhat sympathetic considering everything he's doing is for revenge for his best friend. The Salamancas have no redeeming qualities other than Lalo being funny.
@@irvinmorales1409 That's like saying Walter is sympathetic because everything he does in BrBa is for his family, even though he constantly puts them in danger.
Yeah Gus might be just as evil as hector
I completely agree, I normally found Gus to be a logical businessman if not ruthless. But this was the one time I was angry with him, Nacho could’ve been free long ago if it wasn’t for him
@@irvinmorales1409 i completely agree except Max was Gus's lover amigo not his best friend
I love the twins awkwardly and uncomfortably carrying hector instead of rolling him
Wheelchairs can't roll through deep sand.
If Nacho wouldn't do that in that situation, there no Breaking Bad series
