Lmao

Suddenly he wished he had let the cousins kill him

@@faiqmohiuddinwani922 Indeed. And the reason for that is totally not because he wants revenge for his friends killing at all!

"Visits the elderly" lmaoo

The interesting part is that Gus operating right under the DEA’s nose all this time without ever being suspected is in parallel to Walt operating right under Hank’s nose for so long.

@@stellarwind1946 That's true-Walt did just that, but it was easier for him not to get caught by Hank, since the latter had an already established image of Walt, and that old image was quite misleading. The fact that Hank didn't know Gus made him more suspicious of him.

Hank is smarter than most people think.

I doubt hank sees through 'his bullshit'. He was suspicious is all.

I didn’t hank was suspicious…. Maybe I need to rewatch all of BB for 4th time

That’s why I actually think that Gus was a General for the rebellion. A war HERO instead of a criminal.

Fring was likely someone who oversaw a lot of illegal activities for Pinochet’s government. Pinochet quietly sold a lot of precursor chemicals to the various cartels in Latin and South America. This is why when Don Eladio killed Max Arciniega (who the scholarship is named after), he did not kill Fring. He tells Fring he knows who he really is, which is why he’s not dying. Fring is also mocked by Hector, who called him the, “Grand Generalissimo”. The implication is quite clear: whoever Fring actually was in Chile, he was no opposition figure, and was likely close to Pinochet. The timing of Frings arrival in Mexico in the late 80s was also near the end of the Pinochet era, and so he was probably helped along. For a man who beyond that, according to Hank, doesn’t exist, means only one thing: the US government granted Fring a visa for some reason. Probably the CIA, and probably in exchange for information on Communists in South America and perhaps former Nazis as well since Pinochet hated both and went after all of them. But that’s just a wild guess. Pincohet kept records just fine, and entire people don’t just disappear like that, unless an entity like the CIA makes that happen. So again, whatever Fring was part of in Chile, he was not a “good guy” and never was.

@@Prof_Tickles92 would Gus not be somewhat young for a general in that time? I think it’s more likely that he committed war crimes that meant he had to get the hell out of Chile after Pinochet fell.

@@hal560 Then why would Don Eladio say “The only reason he’s dead and you aren’t is because I know who you really are. And this isn’t Chile.” That implies that Gus would have protection in Chile. But because of the timeline Pinochet had been ousted from power in Chile. So how could Gus have protection? He’d be hated and Don Eladio killing him would be a public service…UNLESS Gus was a war HERO. Then that would make sense. Then Eladio can’t kill him because he’s a beloved figure.

@@Prof_Tickles92 Yeah, also the "But understand, you're not in Chile anymore," could further mean, "you don't have protection or power here like you do in Chile" furthering your point. Also, in BCS, Lalo and Bolsa are discussing Gus, and Bolsa brings up, "it's all business with him," Lalo retorts, "Like what happened in Santiago [the capital of Chile]? Was that business too?" Makes you wonder...what is that business?

yup that is insane writing. gilligan is a genius

Love your comment here.

I love how he has that shocked worried look but then played it off like he doesn’t understand the question fully

@@CornholioPuppetMaster Love that cold, dead, shark-like pause of no emotion when the question catches him off guard and he’s calculating how to react 😧 Then, after that sudden dead eyed pause calculating his best reaction to the question is to be surprised and offended, he reacts and goes back to seemingly like an ordinary human being. It’s like he glitches for a moment - and before that there’s this build up of all the other cops in the scene buying it, and Hanks reactions are like “hmmm there’s something kinda off about this guy… ok now I’m sure there’s something off about this guy…” and you can see hank getting increasingly annoyed nobody else can spot it) makes the moment so much more creepy and eery - such subtle acting 🙏

@@aaronvaunts41 I haven’t watched breaking bad in a while but isn’t this about the time when Hank decides to put the GPS tracker on frings car? I remember he goes up to the counter and tells Gus I didn’t do it and he tells Walter to do it

@@wee7750 😂

Dont know why he isnt in movies hes a great actor

@@colt2128 lots of great actors never make it. Lots of bad actors do make it. To be successful in Hollywood, you must be equal parts actor and politician.

No, this is actually one of the scenarios where it'd be harder in real life to do than for the actors. The actor, when lying on screen, does not feel the same emotional burden as the character would be in real life; which actually often translates to a more convincing on-screen lie.

I’m a month late but yeah I noticed that too. God I love Gus was really sad to see him go. One of my favorites

Customer service voice

@@slightlygloomy4378 haha all good, glad im not the only one! I always wondered if maybe I was just looking into it too much but it seems really intentional

Except when he gets mad! Rewatch the scene where he has Walt out in the desert and tells him what will happen if he contacts Jesse again (S4 E11). Or the other scene in the desert after Walt saves Jesse from those dealers (S3 E13). The accent comes back with a vengeance

​@@slightlygloomy4378 me too. I wish VG would create a spinoff show with a Young Gus and how he became a drug lord and got involved with the cartel

Hey, I heard a spin-off about Gus may be out sometime soon. Another throwaway line that become an entire series, eh?

it’s leaked that in the season series finale of better call saul that lyle murders gus and as it turns out, is wearing his skin imitating him for the entirety of breaking bad. truly genius writing

A rare moment when we see Gus caught off guard.

@@stellarwind1946 I don't think so. I think he wanted to show the other agents that he was surprised at the accusation. Fake names being associated with crime and such. He wanted to look as squeaky clean as possible, and as such, to have not even considered the possibility. If we didn't know he was a drug lord we would have fallen for it too.

@@jackschuller6684 I think he was a little taken aback. He checks with Mike after this scene for reassurance, and Mike says “if I couldn’t find you, they won’t either…”

He was trying to act Suprised because yeah typically men change their name when they’ve committed crimes in other countries

I agree, especially because it was not cliche "what are you talking about?" question you hear only in movies/series.

Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!

That'd already happened at this point. Gus gave the twins their permission to hit Hank and even warned him of the incoming assassination attempt. That's why Gus insisted that Hank stay seated; he was still recovering from his injuries. This episode was in season four, the Salamanca twins tried to kill him in season three.

why

@@Cobbido US involvement in the Pinochet coup and the regime. At best DEA higher ups would just see it as a low priority investigation due to it being Chile and not another drug trafficking hot spot. At worst it would be out of concern that the DEA would find information connecting US assets to the drug trade which would make other federal agencies look bad. Not what ya want to do when the DEA and CIA often work together to fight drug trafficking abroad.

@@calvinware7957 it's absolutely intelligent from Gus

⁠@@G.A.C_PreserveWhat you’re seeing is advanced warfare

His relentlessness was what set him apart. Once he was on your case, it was impossible to shake him off.

What I love the most about Hank's character growth is that in the beginning, he just seems like a really loud, abrasive, stupid cop. Especially compared to the wimpy chemistry genius Walt. But by the time he reads that personalized note from Gale on Walt's toilet, he'd already been shown to be a wildly competent and smart investigator, making that revelation a really dangerous thing for Walt. Because short of Hank being killed, Hank was gonna nail Walt to the wall before slapping those handcuffs on him.

Gus should have gotten a lucrative career in improvisational acting

I was so impressed with Gus in this scene. He truly was a master of his empire. To outsmart an entire panel of high ranked feds has got to be nerve racking. I can never be a successful criminal

I don't even think it was an excuse, his records may legitimately have been destroyed..

He’s a genius.

I think Gus was a part of Pinochet Government in the past, Which could explain his experience with dealing with authorities and interrogations

I agree!

When you think about it, the 3% difference between Gale and Walt's meth purity absolutely destroyed everything. Hope it was worth it Gus!

😂😂😂

Took me too long to realize you were joking.

I love how Walter White wears his glasses the exact same way, as you can see during the phone call scene in Season 5, Episode 14, signifying Gus and Walt are two of the perceptive and attentive geniuses of the universe.

Hank was injured from the Salamanca twin’s incident.

Lol there isn’t a deep meaning to ever single dialogue

I think the book of Walter was pure good luck, no one expected that Walter could be too fool to leave that evidence on the top of his toilet

@@juanblancocaceres6411 Book of Walter, Chapter 1, Verse 1. Yeah, I’m Heisenberg lol.

Bruh no one remembers he busted Hugo for smoking pot🤣

Yeah. I think you're correct. When the cartel kills his partner/lover at the pool, they tell him he's only alive because who he was back in Chile. The cartels usually don't touch CIA operatives for fear of blowback. I think it's safe to assume Gus was part of the Pinochet regime in some sort of intelligence capacity, working with the CIA who after all supported Pinochet.

@@majuli8420 Then why didnt the CIA came knocking on his door in New Mexiko and demand their cut or else they will turn him over to the DEA and FBI?

Changing the letters on the marquee sign? Coupon day?

goated pfp

I loved Colombo at first but the more seasons they made, the more it was obvious what a bad cop he was. While undoubtedly smart, almost all crimes he ever solved was because of dumb luck or because guilty party constantly worked with him and helped him instead of shutting him down. Even when Colombo made it clear that he thinks that they did it and that he is gunning for them. Even in that one episode where the murderer got his lawyer involved it still ended up with the lawyer just sitting on chair doing nothing while his client was constantly baraged by Colombo way beyond apropriate limit. After first few episodes it turned more from criminal investigation serie into one where someone does a crime and then he joins force with Colombo and everyone else in trying to solve it.

With his pants down?

@@floormop6672 😳

Sussy Gussy

I'm not sure, but watching it again, it seems they made a major tactical error, and something that wouldn't happen in real life, regardless, either: they asked him if he wanted a lawyer present before he even knew why he was there.

That’s easy. Normally cctv videos are only stored for a short amount of time and then deleted from the system automatically after a few days to make room for newer footage since they have a limited storage capacity. No reason to save cctv footage unless there is a robbery or some crime committed in the store. Gus could use that as his excuse.

The other comment is correct, but on top of that: the DEA likely wouldn’t allocate investigative resources to that extent for Gus, since at this stage there is absolutely no reason to suspect him of being dishonest. He’s only in that interview in the first place as a favour/way to shut up Hank.

@@dergin38467 they’re stored longer than a few days. 30 days is usually the minimum.

@@stellarwind1946 maybe in high security places like vaults but restaurants usually delete footage after 72 hours

he didn't come up with it on the spot, he was probably creating it from the pollos hermanos place all the way here at least

Yup. Classic trait of liars.. Repeat the question or accusation to come up with an excuse.

Possibly. It could have also been him trying to be realistic after being asked such an ostensibly preposterous, unprovoked sort of question. A guy like Gus probably had every conceivable contingency figured out, but he had to appear like a normal, law abiding citizen, which means reacting in an aghast fashion to such a question, at least initially.

No man…

No man at all.

@@stellarwind1946 snow man

Well. Hector snitched in his mind, Gus used those chances to mislead them.

​@@canraid3477exactly

​@@misbahrizwan6739even a smart man like Gus should have known better than to talk without a lawyer. All he did was alert Hank even more

Tbf pretty sure Gus was referring to snitching to the Dea when he said that. He should have seen that it was a trap though

But Gus talked to the DEA in a capacity of his updating member of the community disguise

Best theory for Gus’s backstory that I’ve seen.

@@jinxthatsme2317 Thank you! Why else would Don Eladio say “The only reason he’s dead and you aren’t is because I know who you really are. And this isn’t Chile.” That implies that Gus would have protection in Chile. But because of the timeline Pinochet had been ousted from power in Chile. So how could Gus have protection? He’d be hated and Don Eladio killing him would be a public service…UNLESS Gus was a war HERO. Then that would make sense. Then Eladio can’t kill him because he’s a beloved figure.

It makes sense too considering we now know gus is gay

I like your theory because Gus is my favorite character and I wouldn’t want him to be a war criminal (obviously he did a lot of other bad shit, but this makes him more sympathetic)

It's a nice theory, but it doesn't work on a few levels. First, if he was such a beloved figure in Chile, his identity would be a matter of public record as a liberator. It would be easily found in the papers and TV/Radio broadcasts of the 80s in Chile, as well as government archives. Hank, the DEA, anyone would have known who he was and he likely would have either been given asylum by the US or blacklisted for his actions against the Pinochet regime as the regime was a Cold War ally of the USA. Second if he was a hero of the new regime, knowing his basic personality, he would have stayed to take a position in the new government to ensure its success. He never would have emigrated. Third, this scenario doesn't match up with the historical record. Pinochet left power in 1990 after losing a 1988 referendum to extend his term for 10 more years. There wasn't a violent revolution, rather the Chilean military sided with the transition to democracy and elections were held the next year, electing a civilian government. Finally, how could a person of his stature not be easily found on the public record ? Likely he was a member of Chile's equivalent of the CIA at the time, the Central Nacional de Informaciones. As such he could have both held high rank and kept his identity in the shadows, away from the public record and the press. This would also explain how his identity was expunged and how he was able to leave Chile with the resources to start his new businesses and to easily obtain visas to Mexico and the USA as he likely would have been given some assistance by the CIA, which was aligned with the CNI during much of the Cold War. This would also explain why Don Eladio didn't actually kill him in 1988, because he likely knew of this history to some degree that Gus was aligned with the CIA on some level, and actually killing one of their assets would create enough potential heat against the Cartel to destroy it. So as much as I wish he was some great rebellion leader, based on the available information, I think he was a high-ranking member of Pinochet's regime who transitioned out to work in concert (initially) in come capacity with the CIA before going into businesses for himself.

He did that on purpose, not just to piss you off, but to make sure all is recorded. But upsetting the interviewed is a nice touch to throw them off for a minute... ☆

Giancarlos getting too old for a backstory. If it’s not Giancarlo I don’t want it

Would’ve been worse if he’d played dumb.

None of them doubted his testimony except Hank.

Pre-emptive strike. It can be risky but if you know what you are doing then it can work.

he smoothly handled it and Hank would never buy it he simply trusts his guts too much

@@isaacpianos5208 Hank knows he is lying because he is easily making up an excuse for every single thing

Nah, by saying he knew, Gus let's himself control the story as soon as he can. Playing stupid could only get you so far. Besides, Hank wouldn't have bought it and kept searching for a crack. Gus wouldn't have convinced Hank, but he could limit what he had over him.

If gus went with the narrative of him hearing of gales death first, he’d half to play up the shock too much. Solemn awareness fits him better.

@@GreaterGrievobeast55 not true. If Gus pretended he’s hearing it for the first time and excuses himself to call Gale and feigns a panic attack/anxiety, even Hank would have bought it. Before this, Gus is (officially) clean man, friend of the DEA, so Hank would think twice before pursuing this again.
