How heartwarming. Those two nice older gents are at their favorite diner having a friendly conversation over coffee. The one wearing the hat is clearly looking out for the best interests of the other one, and he even leaves the waitress a generous tip. If only young people these days would follow this example.
That's because bail is temporary. You have to bring that money to get out then you get it back when you show up for trail. Lalo was just visiting I believe. Plus it was either flee or life and jail for him. They didn't want Tuco to run into serious trouble North of the border. It was more to get him to calm down then go back to running distribution.
The thing is, he isn't REALLY paying mike $5,000. Its more like, "I don't have to be nice to you, but if I am not nice to you, you're gonna die..so here's $5,000..to make me LOOK like a nice guy."
@@alienvseditor so what? His hospital and trauma bills alone would cost him over 10k from what i understand.. 5k for a beating to the face is just insulting to anyone..
I have watched both of these actors sit down and talk with each other about the art of acting as well as about the creation and growth of their characters, and I have massive respect for both of them as true artists in their field.
Given the time difference between the two shows, I don't think he actually served 5y.. It's hard to say but I don't think so lol Better Call Saul ended with Emileo Koiyama, and Breaking Bad started with him, then there's Tuco himself..
Mark Margolis as Hector really gives off strong Hispanic old man vibes. He did an amazing job introducing early 2000s talking Hector in this scene. You would never think he’s a Jewish man from Philly in real life watching this. What an amazing actor! Edit 08-05-23. RIP Mark Margolis. Thank you for giving us such a great performance with such an iconic character like Hector Salamanca.
@@derekcash3608 The only one I can think of that’s old enough for Hector is Edward James Olmos. Now I don’t know how well he would play mute Hector. Margolis is one heck of an actor for that.
@@jsphat81 I hear you, but theres gotta be at least a million solid, older, Latino actors that could have played this part. Imagine a show hiring a Latino actor to play an old, Jewish guy. People would flip their lids.
Hector, the only one who manages to look younger than in the original series. since in the original they had put prosthetics and makeup on him so that he looked older and decrepit than the actor was.
*I like how Hector can ACTUALLY be intimidating by being calm in this scenario, not like with Lalo with his welcoming overly charming approach but like a corporate buisness-time is on the dime approach...which shows that Hector is more than a degenerate cartel thug but an actual buisness man on his own terms....*
Lalo’s welcoming overly charming approach may not be as intimidating but it’s actually more dangerous because he gives you a false sense of security and you never really know what he is thinking.
@@doublexp568 *yea but his problem is he's TOO confident, he doesn't understand that they're are keen people out there too, and look what happened to him...he played with his food for to long and Gus killed him when Lalo could had just put him in the trunk of his car and give him to the cartel and spared Hector and cartel the trouble....But Hector doesn't play with his food, he shot Max in the middle of conversation, he killed the truck, driver the minute he failed him, and he blew himself up along with gus even while paralyzed after he lost everything the minute he got the chance from Walter*
@@doublexp568 That is precisely why he is more intimidating than Hector. Hector is Tuco with more experience and no meth. Salamancas are a family of thugs. Lalo alone is the exception where he is genuinely dangerous on all fronts.
Love how Margolis really starts off in this scene like the nice old maxican uncle. Wearing that straw hat, white shirt and just apologizing. then comes the favor and it really ends with the "Think about it!" wich already comes off like "You should just say yes." And all facade is gone after this scene. The next time they meet Hector is showing his true colors, but so does Mike.
Hector Salamanca had the biggest huevos of all the Salamancas and all the people on this show. He was the only one willing to tell the Don to suck him in front of other top members of the Eladio cartel
i like the way old salamanca pulls his pants up before getting to the table as many men might do. its details like these that show how on point the writer and director were and how in tune with reality they were.
There probably aren't that many places in Albuquerque that they were able to film inside, so it is likely that every diner scene is from that same diner. There's no reason to need to use a second diner.
Just when you have everything all tucked away. Someone comes and unpacks it. Makes you wonder if it's really worth packing. You might not get a better offer. You can always pack it again later and do a better job the second time. The beauty of getting things just the way you want them.
That was nice of him to throw a 10 spot down for a simple cup of coffee. I wonder if Mike is gonna tell the waitress to take his cup outta that too. It's for sure a lot to think about.
so what happens next is (from breakingbad wiki) "After being repeatedly harassed by the Salamancas, Mike eventually agrees to tell the police that the gun was his on the condition of raising his price to $50,000;("Bali Ha'i") while being once again legally assisted by Jimmy. ("Inflatable")" "While talking to Nacho inside the restaurant, Hector learns from Arturo that Tuco has been placed in solitary at Los Lunas after stabbing another prisoner and breaking a prison guard's jaw. Hector's anger at hearing this news triggers his heart condition. ("Off Brand")"
Man this is weird. I have watched this video lots of times. I see Mike drink his coffee and notice his reaction. The reaction is he is enjoying the coffee. So much so I even try to imitate his facial reaction when I'm having breakfast. But now he doesn't make that same facial expression. WTH???

Ten bucks from a cartel head. How generous.

LoL some people don't understand sarcasm XD
Lol
Plus Héctor never ratted
"He really did ahnomber on you
00:29 "Hmm."
RIP Mark Margolis, was always a pleasure to see you on screen
Lol, Salamanca family can put up millions of dollars for lalos bail, but he only offers mike $5000
that's bcs he doesn't know who Mike is and thought that he was just a regular ex-cop
I think it's a little bit insulting offering him just 5000 dollar, isn't it?

@@snowarmth He served close to it. When we’re introduced to Tuco in BB, it’s revealed he had been out for about a year. So he served around 3 years.
tuco was half insane lets face it.
Half?
RIP Mark Margolis
This was an effortlessly subtle yet epic character reveal, he really made Hector Salamanca his own. Rest in power
At least he took out Gus Fring when he exploded.
Very rare to see Mike totally unprepared! So well written!
I like Hector's gesture when saying "...respect" as if he's preaching a word of wisdom
Meanwhile he doesn't even acknowledge the waitress when she gives him the coffee
@@motster33 Great catch
Its nice to know how Salamanca ended up. Such a great antagonist. The script and acting was on another level for both of these series.

Also Wendy. She looks younger as well.

This is the exact moment where Mike becomes finger.
and he goes and fingerbangs the Skylar
Waltuh
Mike was suddenly no longer reasonably happy.
2:29 You're an ex-cop
Subtitles: You're an ex-scope
He was a USMC sniper, so close enough.
@@looker999997 Ex-scope isn't a word.
Great scene. But with his savvy, service, training and background, I don't believe Mike would ever sit back to the door in public.
Something in the acting,the little hesitation with his coffee makes me think he knew when Hector was there
this is when mike knew that he was now in the game. whether he wanted to be or not.
And how much he's beginning to hate the Salamanca's.
I seriously doubt Mike sits with his back to the door
The bell foreshadow before the scene is incredible
What bell? Lol, I went back to listen and didn't hear anything.
@@zrobgood 41:25
This is what makes Hector terrifying, way more scary than Tuco. He just seems like a sweet old man you'd walk past every day. Best villain in BCS
As much as I love Lalo, when ya put it like that: you're god damn right.
I would easily watch a full hour of Mike just chewing and drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
Looks like he is a nice Guy. Apologizing for Tuco. What an Angel,
Didn't say thank you to waitress but expresses it with a nice tip. Good guy Hector
That's common in Latino culture.
Hector just isn't Hector without his bell.
Hector Salamanca's speech is like asmr
At least for this season. For whatever reason, Margolis chose to make his voice a lot more gravelly in the later seasons.

@2:50 Hector: "I'm looking for the best possible outcome for everybody."
@3:22 And the relief on Mike's face at hearing those generous words.
At the beginning of the scene there's a restaurant employee ringing a bell, a sign of what's to come to Hector
Hector Salamanca had the biggest huevos of all the Salamancas and all the people on this show. He was the only one willing to tell the Don to suck him in front of other top members of the Eladio cartel
He had big "huevos." Translated, "huevos" means "buttholes." Which makes the scene seem really weird.
I'm glad he got a chance to act outside of that chair
Such a deal! He gets $5000, which wouldn't cover his legal defense fees, and a felony on his record, even if he does avoid jail time.....wow!
But the alternative, death.
He a drug cartel guy. He makes $5k every 1/2 day.
@2:50 "I'm looking for the best possible outcome for everybody." Now who can argue with that?
They really did a the balls on you
This scene make me hungry, I want to go there to eat breakfast in this restaurant!
Two great actors. RIP Mark Margolis.
Who is that Hector guy? His face really rings a bell!
Hes in Scarface for a bit
In fact he showed a lot of respect before hit mike
This hector guys seems so nice. He is probably nothing related to the cartel, + he aplogized to mike! How nice!
This is what solid acting is.
i like the way old salamanca pulls his pants up before getting to the table as many men might do. its details like these that show how on point the writer and director were and how in tune with reality they were.
Hector has sure come a long way from having a door slammed in his face courtesy of Ventura
"yes, Satan?"
If this was in season 3 or up, i feel like Hector would just call Saul
Great scene---although Hector is mistaken to think jail will teach his nephew "respect" for anybody
The funny thing is, Hector is telling the truth; he believes Tuco should have shown Mike respect.
They really did a nomber on you
RIP Tio Salamanca
RIP Hector Salamanca
Isnt that the Cafe where he met Lydia?
There probably aren't that many places in Albuquerque that they were able to film inside, so it is likely that every diner scene is from that same diner. There's no reason to need to use a second diner.

mike was so shook that he finished hector's coffee. very uncharacteristic
Siempre me llamo la atención que un tipo tan profesional como Mike se siente dando la espalda a la puerta.
5 G’s that’s disrespectful right there
Thats actually really true. Mike definitely would be facing the door. Unless he was embarrassed about his face and didn't want everyone seeing it.
First time in life perpahs Hector Salamanca asked for permission. Oh mike is sitting there. thats why. my bad!
Any man who pisses in his boss’s swimming pool is to be feared.
"I apologize to you on behalf of my family"
*Crime city*
....accurate lol
Waitress: "Will that be the #4, sir?
Hector: Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Tuco should learn respect"
Doesn't say thank you to the waitress
all of that just for tuco to fuck around in prison and extend his sentence to make him absent the entire show LMAO
No Leo I ever met ever sat with his back to a door
I like how in the end..none of this matters... because tuco stabs someone in prison and gets more time
“Hi, what can I get you?”
KOFI BLAK
Dang Hector talking is like watching a movie.
03:16 "Teeenk abouh deet."
2:14 " nobody can take my gun from me"
Anyone see how much hector left for the coffee? I’m curious
It was a $100,000 dollar bill. Quite a tip!
He talk’s about respect but doesn’t respect the waitress bringing him his coffee
That was nice of him to throw a 10 spot down for a simple cup of coffee. I wonder if Mike is gonna tell the waitress to take his cup outta that too. It's for sure a lot to think about.
