Joaquin Salamanca was the the guy shot by Jesse at the end of salud. It was not Lalo.

It’s always “Jimmy, you could get disbarred,” or “Jimmy, you’re causing problems for my career,” or “Jimmy, we could get arrested.” She never says “Jimmy, this is immoral.” I think viewers project more of a goodie-two shoes persona onto Kim than actually exists; In fact, I think the show is intentionally playing with viewers assumptions. You expect her to be the Skyler, the long-suffering female parter who must endure the male anti-hero’s escalating bad behavior. But Kim is actually never this. In fact, she’s ultimately much closer in personality to the ‘complicated gritty male antihero’ of shows like Breaking Bad or Mad Men than Jimmy is. Jimmy is emotionally childlike, impulsive, irresponsible, often selfish, and frequently in denial about the negative consequences of his actions; But he’s fundamentally a very soft and silly and sweet character, even when he’s Saul, even at his most ‘evil.’ Jimmy does bad things out of moral weakness: a lack of self control, a lack of integrity. But he also lacks the dark impulses of the typical prestige antihero, the sadism, the desire for domination and control, the thirst for vengeance, the egomania that we see in Walter White and others.
