Mike really gummed up the works, put Lalo in a sticky situation, and foiled his plan.

All that time as parking security led to this moment

I could seriously watch an entire show dedicated to Mike outsmarting people.

if this was a mission in GTA : Mission Failed *you lost Mike*

Bonus: Mike just got Lalo's car tagged for hit and run.

I love Mike's expression when he notices he's being tailed. He just sighs and looks like he's thinking, 'What, really? Oh all right...' This whole thing is just a minor annoyance to him.

This is a callback to Mike being a parking attendant in Season 1, he has an instinctual hatred for automated parking machines, excellent writing!

Feeftie tousand and the gum is yours.

For creating a plan Walter is a genius, but for improvising in risky situation Mike is the king

God it’s small scenes like this that show how great of a character Mike was, I’m glad he was brought back for this show.

These kinds of scenes are what I love about Vince Gilligan because he demonstrates creative solutions to problems that normal people wouldn't think of. This is a pretty smart way to lose a tail.

I feel bad for the guy in the car. Dude had nothing to do with that, yet he got his car destroyed and his drink spilled on him

he even waited for another car because he knew lalo would just break the barrier

Mike is literally the definition of a badass grandpa.

Love how there is 0% damage to Lalos car after that ramming

2:44 Mike uses his knowledge from his previous job xD

Opens the glove compartment, we see the gun, Mike pulls out the...gum. Little touches, little touches.

The MacGyver moments in the Breaking Bad universe are my absolute favorite. Genius writing. Mike reaches in his glove box and you see his gun on purpose simply to throw off the audience. Then when you see him chewing the gum, you’re thinking, “what is he doing”?

I wonder if this is the same way Mike was losing his DEA tails in season 5 of breaking bad

"¡Muévete, imbécil!" Makes me laugh every time, along with the dude spilling his shake all over himself

I love when later in the series that Lalo singles out Mike and asks to meet him in front of Fring and Bolsa. At first it seemed like it was kinda of a power play by Lalo, but Lalo knows the game and simply wanted to meet the adversary that out witted him. There was an unspoken respect for Mike.

I love the small detail that there's a gun next to the chewing gum and you'd expect for a moment for him to take the gun but he takes out something else that you don't know what he'll use for. It's the counterpart of another scene from BB when Skyler confronts Walt and there's a phone next to a knife and you'd expect her to pick up the phone and call the police but she chooses the more radical option of drawing out the knife.

To check if a car is following you, just drive around the block. Make four left turns or four right turns. If they make all the same turns, you know you're being tailed. It also tells your pursuer that their cover is blown, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the situation.

I love how the writers portray how Mike chooses cleverness over violence by pushing the gun aside and grabbing the gum. It‘s these small details that make that show so great.

I love that they think of everything like the fact that Mike has to have precise timing, when to pull out so that he got another car between him and Lalo

And that is why I love this show. It's not the guns or the violence, it's the brains.

This is how I lose griefers in gta online.

I don't know why but this is one of my favorite scenes. Something about how simple and effective and creative it was. And watching the gum inside the machine was so satisfying.

i appreciate that when the writers give mike scenes like this, they make him smart in a way thats in line with his character. mike worked parking security, so it makes sense he'd know how to abuse the gates in this way.

"I'm sorry, Lalo! You don't have enough stickers!"

Mike: It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of- oh wait... **Checks glove compartment**

The more I watch BCS, the more upset I become of how quickly and easily Mike was killed off in BB. I mean, Gus was blown up, Hector sacrificed himself, already injured and bleeding out Tuco shot in a gunfight, Hank executed after a massive shootout, Jack's gang demolished with a robotic machine gun, but Mike gets a cowardly shot in the chest. He deserved more dignity in death than he got.

0:42 It's early 2000s but a 2015 Ford Explorer somehow time traveled.

Love the detail at 0:18 shows the gun first and suggests a chaotic shootout, when he just grabs a gum to help keep everything cool

I love how deliberate the shot is of Mike reaching past the loaded gun to grab some gum lol

Mike was always very calculated and precise, always able to evaluate a situation well enough to improvise in even the smallest amount of time.

Unless you are as efficient as mike....You will always need a 'new dust filter for Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model 60' to get out of this game!😉

This is the moment when Lalo becomes Luigi.

Everybody: uses a trusty gun Mike: uses his trusty *gum*

I love how it makes it look like Mike will reach for a gun.....instead he reaches for gum. Mike is the father of McGyver.

love this frame on 0:19, where they visually show what the character Mike is, the primitive gun-solves-everything mind is opposed to using an original and creative type of weapon. Mike is not a straightforward brute force guy but more subtle and smart.

The most dangerous Salamanca vs Mike and a bubble gum

When trouble is brewing, Mike reaches for his gun. Gum... sorry! He reaches for his gum.

Would have been funny if due to Mikes sabotage the barrier would have stayed up

3:16 is no one gonna talk about how Lalo's car took zero damage? Like the cars he drives are as badass as he is.

lalo never should have challenged him in a parking lot, this is mike’s domain

Bro this scene is so funny lmao 3:16 instant replay!

@3:08 Me whenever I'm stuck behind a slow person on the road

He gave so much to the parking lot, and the lot gave back to him

It's funny how Lalo chose to rear end a car which caused the smoothie guy to tear down the barrier when all he had to do was back up, go out the entrance and break that barrier. Would have been cheaper.

3:20 Lalo's car didn't break a *sweat*

That is a gorgeous masterpiece of a car Lalo driving, understated yet so bomb

Mike always has gum in the glove compartment for this scenario exactly. Mans is always prepared for someone following and he jams the ticket reader with a wad. True soldier.

I love that clueless old man wave lol

When cars were made of metal and Chrome. That'll buff right out Lalo.

I swear to god, You can rely on someone like Vince Gilligan to create an escape scene with something as obscure and simple as a 'Strip of Chewing gum' and make it memorable and ingenius.

Would have been fun to hear Pryce’s voice when the second car asked for assistance at the gate.

Mike the Mastermind😄🔥🔥

2:27 why is there a what looks like a fairly new Toyota Tacoma in a show that takes place in like 2002

03:18 lol it came into his face🤣

I wouyld've waited until the gums had lost of their flavor before using them.

Point of the scene: chrome-plated steel bumpers rock.

This is the moment Lalo got “paca paca paca mi caballo”d by Mike !!

I just noticed Pryce's neon light vehicle in the parking lot at 01:10

Mike was smart to lure lalo to the parking garage. He knew lalo would need more stickers to escape. Edit: thanks for all the likes and feedback. Please read carefully and if the al gor ith ms shut this post down, I did my best. Go ogle the anti mic rob ial properties of sil ver na no particles. They appear to be very potent at killing many types of ge rms including co ro na

The giddy anticipation in knowing that Mike being tailed and choosing to start chewing some gum means that gum will have serious and possibly hilarious consequences, which of course it does

This is truly the moment when Mike became a pain in the ass for Lalo. Chilling.

The real victim of this episode was the milkshake

Damn. The more I see of these clips, the more I want watch the show! "Mike" is an Awesome character- very cleverly written and superbly acted!!

V Cool acting AND writing. Now we know where the expression ''gumming up the works''' comes from. The writers take creative advantage over previously scripting Mike as an honest security gatekeeper at a parking lot. From his experience in arguments with Jimmy McGill, we infer that he knows much about the intricate, inside workings of an automatic payment machine. Brilliant writing! It really is.

One of the greatest all time oppositions, Mike v Lalo.

That is attention to details by the writers👍

Mike and his silver inflatables, remember he used a balloon to mess up power lines once

Better Call Saul is next level. Season6 gonna be a blast 🔥 🔥

This was hard to watch. That drink wasn't in the game.

surprised how many newer model cars can be seen in the parking lot, usually they're amazing with details and getting the right model year cars in shots.

More like "Lalo narrowly dodges appointment with his maker"

STICKERS, STICKERS! LALO YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH STICKRSSS!!

The writing is brilliant as is the photography. The shot inside the card machine just kills me.

Lalo takes BCS to another level after season 4🔥

One thing I’ve always disliked about this show is how even though it’s supposed to be set in the early 2000s, you always catch these new cars in the background Just a thought

Mikes got all the old school macguyver tricks. Mike is one of the coolest characters ever

The faces Mike pulls during this scene is epic.

As much as I love this scene, I can't help but think the machine wouldn't accept another ticket while the gate was open. Still fantastic nonetheless.

Hours later in the parking lot: Mike & Lalo are still in their cars.

When your phone autocorrects "gun" to "gum" in a text-based-modern-day-electronic DnD and you gotta improvise

They guy stuck in his car at the north gate was my favorite character in the series. I wish they would have done more with him

Wow, amazing how they got that camera shot inside the machine. I fucking love this show!

But jeez I can’t help but feel bad for the smoothie guy for a shitty day he’s had, first an old man cuts him off just to leave the lot first. Then another crazy ass rear ends his car just to catch up to the old man. imagine what he’s going to tell his wife what took so long to get home

You will think mike will go for the gun but he goes all out for a gum! Pure genius

Mike was my favorite on the show especially the part with the goofy guy in the Hummer

"You might want to learn how to tail better if you're planing on making a habit of it" - Mike Ehrmentraut

Mike's police knowledge of criminal tactics reminds me of Rambo's military knowledge of how guerillas work.

2:17 I think Mike here is showing the beginning stages of Alzheimers disease. He saw the other car & forgot immediately! His daughter in law should consider checking him into the same assisted living facility his good friend Hector Salamanca is living in. Long lost friends

Most car parks have reversed spike belts that stop you from using the entrance as an exit. There's also parking enforcement companies that are quicker than police. They would of blocked the exit and both Mike and Lalo would have to eat tickets.

Seeing Mike outsmarting Lalo was very satisfying..

Would have been unfortunate for Mike if Lalo just got out of the car at 2:36

Lalo should never have entered the parking lot. Just wait for him in the street at the exit

Finally about time someone uploaded this scene to KZfaq!

They had to audition alot of different gum for that scene
