What makes Lalo so bone chilling is we rarely see him actually kill anyone on screen. It’s just left up to our imagination. Fred at Travelwire and this couple come to mind
From what I heard, the police report for Fred Whalen had the cause of dead as blunt force trauma so essentially Lalo beat him to death and then his body was certainly scorched because in a deleted scene, Lalo burned down the Travel Wire to cover his tracks
Such an unnerving scene that completely encapsulates just how psychotic and brutal Lalo is, and how nonchalant he is about taking someone's life. An amazingly well written character.
I wouldn't call him nonchalant here. He seemed to dislike having to kill them. That's their sole purpose of course and he will do it, whether he likes it or not, but I think he still connects with people he comes into contact with in his day to day life.
@@NtoTheM I think he is a true psychopath. He connects with people, but in a superficial way, and often in order to manipulate. Like a farmer with his favourite animals. He might be fond of them, and enjoy taking care of them, but he won’t hesitate to kill or sell them if it’s necessary for his business.
@@AsokaTw-mz3lrNote to you, always accept help. It's not a crime to admit you can't handle something on your own. Help with strings attached or for future profit isn't help. True help is selfless and people are happy to do it. Anything else is deception.

@@susieq360 Nah, it looks sinister regardless. His facial expression just looks menacing. Probably the scariest that he’s ever looked in the entire show.
The most crazy part about this scene after watching it for the second time is that the farmer was a plan scape goat to fake Lalo’s death, in any event that might happen. In the later episodes, they asked if Lalo was really dead and they said that his dental records match Lalo’s! That’s why Lalo asked the wife how her husband’s teeth is feeling after his own dentist worked on the farmer! This wasn’t a random idea Lalo just came up on the spot.

i get the impression that Lalo had told Mateo earlier that he might need him to be a stand in for him some time, since he looks like him (a little bit). Notice how nonchalantly Mateo goes upstairs to shave off his beard.
Nah Lalo needed a body double to move uninterrupted.... Remember Gus has no proof Lalo was alive he could tell just from hector looking at him and shaking his hand!
@@Onigirli Lalo cuck fanboys are a very toxic breed. They're the type that would probably vouch for a charismatic totalitarian dictator if he had a nice smile and manners xD
2:55 the face that he shows the world to hide who he truly is. 3:01 the real face of the sociopath underneath all the charm. 2:48 the face that hides his fate from his enemies
If you look closely, you can see that the man kept his mustache and his soul patch, because Lalo told him to just minutes prior. One of the millions of subtle albeit powerful nuances of the show. Bravo, Vince.
When i watched this scene on netflix for the first time i noticed that Mateo looks like Lalo after shaving .. but I could tell that this scene could have been less confusing for the audience .. .. Perhaps Lalo shouldn't kill these two immediately .. he should ask Mateo to come with him because he needs some help at home then kill him .. that would make it clear that The burned body in the next scene was Mateo's .. .. I mean it's obvious that many fans didn't get the concept of this scene : Lolo helped this poor couple a while ago only to use Mateo as a double in case he needed to fake his death ..
Such tremendous detail in the writing. When the wife tells Lalo they now have two more goats, the audience immediately assumes there were two new goats born to the existing herd. Lalo has zero nurturing instinct so he misses the implication completely and assumes to new purchases were made from elsewhere and added to the herd. Such a small detail, but so revealing how the mind of a psychopath is different.
I remember this little mirror shot that made into the teaser of s6, u genuinely thought it would be some bigger baddie than or at lalo's level who will appear as a boss level character 😂
Lalo's foresight and plan here concerning the dental records remind me of "Charley Varrick," where Charley switches dental records with "Harmon," the killer played by Andy Robinson.
This scene made me lose any admiration I had for Lalo! Those people treated him like a King and didn't ask any questions. I know he couldn't leave any witnesses but dang!!!
1:11 IMO, This is the most terrifying shot of the series. It was infact this scene where I didn't feel his charisma. Lalo seemed totally unrecognisable and pure evil to me!
I always thought that was Christian Slater in the trailer and thought Lalo went to him for help and we were gonna see them v Gus. With Gus winning of course
He didn't even have to go this far..he told his uncle that he was alive which made Gus find out he was alive. If lalo didn't make up this plan and faked his death, maybe the cartel would've believed Hector that Gus was the one who send mercenaries after lalo
pporly written scene, like who would come out of the woods and directly go the bathroom because some boss-like figure like Lalo came to see them...that too a beard that would years to grow.
Of the few occasions in which Lalo did not feel comfortable with murdering someone, although for him that family had a purpose to fulfill, he showed a hint of sadness in that look as when he saw the people who worked for him end up massacred. Within everything there was some trace of a certain humanity in a character as perverse as he was chilling.
Ya´ll need to understand one thing, when he asks about the dentist - its because he paid the dentist to make his teeth just like Lalo has. In other scene someone examines the "dead lalo" and says that it matches with his dentist papers. Lalo was grooming that guy as his dead double for a long time...
Knowing what we do of him, Lalo seems genuinely regretful of having to kill them and likely made it as quick and painless as possible. And didn't hesitate for a second. That makes him so much more frightening.
I didn't really get the significance of the scene when I saw it the first time. I knew Lalo did the murders. But it was only until after the episode in which Gus has to speak to Don Eladio. That it dawns on me. I would like to think the woman didn't get killed. She was so sweet. Reminds me of my mom or my aunties. But that is wishful thinking...
*Breaking Bad was all about Walter but Better Call Saul was about Saul and Kim and Lalo and Gus and that's why it is the beter show, it has a solid story with so many highly likeable characters and what's best! No Skylar!*
Lalo was such a likable character I loved his humor….lalo told saul I need you to do something pick some money up for me saul goes ooo ok for a second I thought I was gonna be swallowing ballon’s full of heroin they Lalo laughs and goes nooo maybe later 😂😂😂
I like how Lalo only appeared in the last 2 seasons but left such an impression on the viewers. He is the scariest Salamanca by far
he also appeared and played a big role in the last episodes of season 4
Gus was the scariest in breaking bad, but even Gus was scared shitless by Lalo
Lalo is like Tuco muscle/intimidation + Gus brain/charm
Amen to that.
Can you imagine if he had been the big bad in season 5 of breaking bad.. Walter vs Lalo

@@phanindravaibhav3319 He probably just paid for the surgery to get access to Mateo’s dental records and swap them with his own, so that they would match if anyone tried to identity Mateo.
What’s worse Mateo died without knowing who ZZ Top is
I think Lalo sent Mateo to Zzzz...
?
Despite looking like he lives in a home out on la grange...
lalo literallly groomed a family just to have a fake dead body of himself
And it backfired anyway.
i love how nonchalantly mateo shaves off a massive beard that probably took ages to grow out
i get the impression that Lalo had told Mateo earlier that he might need him to be a stand in for him some time, since he looks like him (a little bit). Notice how nonchalantly Mateo goes upstairs to shave off his beard.
@@laurenhahn101 He may have also just wanted to show respect by appearing more presentable to Lalo, as his wife said.
Lalo is my favorite villain in the Breaking Bad universe. He is like a perfect mix between Hans Landa and Anton Chigurh.
Great comparison
@@jeremytewari3346The Breaking Bad universe absorbs many influences
That slight change in his facial expression in the last second is chilling
Ironic that had Lalo not gone thru the trouble of leaving a body double, Hectors claims against Gus would’ve been much more believable
Nah Lalo needed a body double to move uninterrupted....
Remember Gus has no proof Lalo was alive he could tell just from hector looking at him and shaking his hand!
He just needed to talk to the twins.
I don’t think Lalo took pleasure in doing this to these folks, but the man does whatever he has to do to win.
Of course he didn't
Already making excuses for him huh?
@@Onigirli Lalo cuck fanboys are a very toxic breed. They're the type that would probably vouch for a charismatic totalitarian dictator if he had a nice smile and manners xD
@@Onigirli no?? he didn’t like doing it, he just did it so he could fake his death. it’s just a fact, not an excuse.
@@Onigirli Yeah? He's a good guy that had to make sacrifices, Stfu 🤡
2:55 the face that he shows the world to hide who he truly is. 3:01 the real face of the sociopath underneath all the charm. 2:48 the face that hides his fate from his enemies
If you look closely, you can see that the man kept his mustache and his soul patch, because Lalo told him to just minutes prior. One of the millions of subtle albeit powerful nuances of the show. Bravo, Vince.
Truly one of the moments of Better Call Saul!
Such great visual storytelling in this scene.
When i watched this scene on netflix for the first time i noticed that Mateo looks like Lalo after shaving .. but I could tell that this scene could have been less confusing for the audience ..
..
Perhaps Lalo shouldn't kill these two immediately .. he should ask Mateo to come with him because he needs some help at home then kill him .. that would make it clear that The burned body in the next scene was Mateo's ..
..
I mean it's obvious that many fans didn't get the concept of this scene : Lolo helped this poor couple a while ago only to use Mateo as a double in case he needed to fake his death ..
Makes sense, no one is going to care about a couple of dead farmers. They are replaceable like all peasants.
"keep the mustache"
Take the cannoli
Now i'm just picturing Lalo sitting infront of his fireplace listening to ZZ Top lol
I think this is the exact scene where Bince Villigan showed us just how bad Lalo actually broke. Vravo Bince
They need to make a show about Mike's early days and the Salamanca's rise to the top.
Truly the moment Lalo became Heisenberg
Mexicansenberg
Heisenbergo
He looks like a nice guy, we all need a friend like him.
2:55 me looking at the important npc that just insulted me as I wait for the "quicksaving..." prompt to end
This is the exact moment Lalo kindly helped a couple out!
And this is why Nacho died a hero, helping taking them down
This is the moment Lalo visited the couple in the mountain. Truly one of the moments of all time.
lol just stop with your nonsense right there, seriously. Sick and tired of that terrible meme you people keep doing here.
Truly a moment bravo Vince
@@z1p632 Stop, just stop.
2:41 just noticed how the stain in lalo's shirt switches from the right shoulder to the left one
Mirror?
No one talks about how fast that man shaved his beard off lmaoo
hes a farmer with good work ethic. always on schedule
Bro really pulled an among us
Visiting this clip because today is the day of the scape goat.
Nah,the most chilling scene was when he asked Kim to put on shoes. Absolutely sickening.
Bob Odenkirk disliked that
I disagree. The worst thing he did was when was tapping on that fish tank
Such tremendous detail in the writing. When the wife tells Lalo they now have two more goats, the audience immediately assumes there were two new goats born to the existing herd. Lalo has zero nurturing instinct so he misses the implication completely and assumes to new purchases were made from elsewhere and added to the herd. Such a small detail, but so revealing how the mind of a psychopath is different.
Probably reading a bit too deep into that
@@SaturnineXTS Actually no. The writers worked hard on BCS/BB.
I remember this little mirror shot that made into the teaser of s6, u genuinely thought it would be some bigger baddie than or at lalo's level who will appear as a boss level character 😂
Lalo is a pure psycopath. He has hearded these people like cattle, though most ranchers feel for their livestock, Lalo don't.
Lalo felt bad about doing this. You can see it. Of course, he still did it.
Lalo's foresight and plan here concerning the dental records remind me of "Charley Varrick," where Charley switches dental records with "Harmon," the killer played by Andy Robinson.
This is the moment when Mateo became Lalo Salamanca’s corpse
This scene made me lose any admiration I had for Lalo! Those people treated him like a King and didn't ask any questions. I know he couldn't leave any witnesses but dang!!!
why would you have admiration for Lalo? He was a psychopath from the get-go, a charismatic one, but a psycho nonetheless.
Bro wanted Lalo to be a role model💀...
Did you miss or forget that in previus episoded he murdered an innocent boy?
He thought lalo was dark knight
1:11 IMO, This is the most terrifying shot of the series. It was infact this scene where I didn't feel his charisma. Lalo seemed totally unrecognisable and pure evil to me!
Bro didn’t like the coffee
At first I thought why would he kill them, then I realized he needed to stay "dead".
also made the guy look like him too, thats why he said keep the soul patch and why he was asking about the teeth
And when we saw that guy shaving himself in the teaser-trailer we all thought it'd be another Salamanca we didn't know yet. But we were so wrong...
I always thought that was Christian Slater in the trailer and thought Lalo went to him for help and we were gonna see them v Gus. With Gus winning of course
Me too, I was like oh wow cool, Christian Slater is gonna be part of this final season. 😂
He didn't even have to go this far..he told his uncle that he was alive which made Gus find out he was alive. If lalo didn't make up this plan and faked his death, maybe the cartel would've believed Hector that Gus was the one who send mercenaries after lalo
Ological elevated this scene SO MUCH.
They had a chicken farm but the whole time they was the chicken farm
You know you command respect when people shave for your unannounced arrival
pporly written scene, like who would come out of the woods and directly go the bathroom because some boss-like figure like Lalo came to see them...that too a beard that would years to grow.
Of the few occasions in which Lalo did not feel comfortable with murdering someone, although for him that family had a purpose to fulfill, he showed a hint of sadness in that look as when he saw the people who worked for him end up massacred. Within everything there was some trace of a certain humanity in a character as perverse as he was chilling.
What kind of man keeps a doppelgänger around just for these kind of instances 😂
A man who plans three steps ahead of his enemies
*It was very nice of Lalo to help his friend shave*
When Lalo suddenly stops being super nice and cracking jokes every 2 seconds you know you're going to die
This is truly the moment that Mateo became Dusty Hill
As Lalo coming into the house you can see the goat also stepped into it, which signature the devil. Bravo Vince
My favourite villain apart from Walt and Gus in the whole BB/BCS universe. I wish he had more screen time
We need Lalo spin off movie
No, we don't.
I prefer these subtle details.
Why does Lala knowing ZZ Top make me like him more
Ya´ll need to understand one thing, when he asks about the dentist - its because he paid the dentist to make his teeth just like Lalo has. In other scene someone examines the "dead lalo" and says that it matches with his dentist papers. Lalo was grooming that guy as his dead double for a long time...
I think he actually felt bad just look how he smiles at the end
Knowing what we do of him, Lalo seems genuinely regretful of having to kill them and likely made it as quick and painless as possible. And didn't hesitate for a second.
That makes him so much more frightening.
Don’t think he felt bad or remorse. He just didn’t take pleasure from it.
If you know he wasn't remorseful.
Best villain in this series 😅
From the moment he enters the show late in season 4 he is a tornado that blows all the leaves apart and causes havoc.
Turning a person into a perfect corpse-body-double without them knowing, playing that long con, holy hell.
I didn't really get the significance of the scene when I saw it the first time. I knew Lalo did the murders. But it was only until after the episode in which Gus has to speak to Don Eladio. That it dawns on me.
I would like to think the woman didn't get killed. She was so sweet. Reminds me of my mom or my aunties. But that is wishful thinking...
Oh she'd be the first to go. Don't need women like that.
He really pulled off the escobar feel, if you talked to him in public you'd think he was just some happy uncle, but if you did him wrong....
*Breaking Bad was all about Walter but Better Call Saul was about Saul and Kim and Lalo and Gus and that's why it is the beter show, it has a solid story with so many highly likeable characters and what's best! No Skylar!*
Never thought I'd see a ZZ Top reference in BCS. But here Lalo is saying the mountain man looks like ZZ Top
Don Eduardo was one of a kind.
Lalo was such a likable character I loved his humor….lalo told saul I need you to do something pick some money up for me saul goes ooo ok for a second I thought I was gonna be swallowing ballon’s full of heroin they Lalo laughs and goes nooo maybe later 😂😂😂
finger
fr he's just chillin 😎🤙🤙
He reacts like he didn’t know that goats can multiply
