Episode 4 question about Mike and Gus
Episode that aired this week, I don't understand what was Gus and Mike discussing about at the end?
shareWhen they first met, it was because Mike was going after Hector for threatening his granddaughter. Gus intervened because he wants to keep Hector alive to see Gus wipe out the rest of the Salamancas. Mike made a deal with Gus not to kill Hector, while Gus gives him some work that includes things that hurt the Salamancas. Also Gus recognizes Mike has some valuable skills.
Last season he tried to help Nacho get away from the cartel, Hector was forcing Nacho's father to work for the cartel, so Mike had a bit of sympathy. for him. Mike wasn't in on the plot to kill Hector, but he tried to help Nacho cover his tracks after the plan was set in motion. Gus knows Mike was helping Nacho because he was watching Nacho all along, and put 2 and 2 together. In this episode he confronts Mike and tries to use Nacho for leverage, but that really wasn't necessary because Mike doesn't get intimidated and would have done the job anyway.
thank you, does gus want mike to kill nacho now? that's the vibe i got.
shareIt has to be more than that, otherwise he could just get one of his regular guys to do it. He might be looking to set up the logistics for the meth pipeline. We still don't know how the 10+ guys got busted- the ones he was paying off who were killed by Walt all at the same time.
shareIn Breaking Bad (Season 02: Ep 08), Nacho is still around I think, as Saul mentions him when he is held at gunpoint by Walt and Jesse (when they put on balaclavas and kidnap Saul). Saul thinking that they're people sent by Lalo are holding him at gunpoint says "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio (that being Nacho's full name) and this is before we meet Gus or Mike in BB.
