Better Call Saul 5x1 | Watch Along

Lallo is definitely like the anti-Gus. Laid back and kinda goofy, but still scary when it gets down to business.

Joe Blankenship

He was trafficked there blindfolded and he and his crew were kept completely unaware of their whereabouts and stored in their own hidden living quarters. Werner signed up for it knowing all of this. He may have thought Mike would never hurt him and he was naive, but he certainly KNEW he was in the game.

i know he didn't know know. but some would say he should have inferred. he knows its illegal. hes an older well educated man who should know about the drug trade in America and follow the news about how crazy it is. But I would agree hes just naive and I guess doesnt want to think he could be anywhere near that sort of thing.

Werner didn't KNOW he was in the game haha. Obviously that's really stupid and Mike tried to make it obvious, but if Mike actually said "Gus is a ruthless drug boss and will murder you + possibly your crew if you do anything out of line" he wouldn't have tried to escape, he's just mega naive. Another half-measure kinda biting Mike in the ass, which is why Mike feels so bad.

Mike really does have a soft spot for people who aren't like really "in the game". I'm sure you could make an argument that Verner was in it enough, but still, he's more of Gale type that isn't really made to be part of the game. Mike really didn't want to do it.

This episode just proves that Chuck was right about Jimmy, he is a chimp with a machine gun.

Great ep, great reaction! Nice seeing Robert Forster (the vacuum repair guy), he passed away some months before S5 aired. Just in case you forgot, the guy harassing Gene at the beginning is the taxi driver who drove him home from hospital in S4 flash-forward, you noticed he had an Albuquerque air freshener and was looking at Gene kinda sus. Lalo IS so funny. I say "What's he doin man, what's he up to?" often. It's hard to even nail why. He has the demeanour of a sitcom uncle wrapped around a cold-blooded serial killer. He's also in a franchise filled with VERY SERIOUS crime men lol. Nobody else looks like they're having fun being a cartel guy, except maybe Don Eladio and then that guy is a creeper. I'm very biased in Kim's favor and can't effectively judge her actions but she just wants to be ethical, then is forced to choose between "scam ur client into 5 months OR honor their wishes and go to trial and they lose and get 5 years" so she picks the former and then hates herself. Relatable.

its sad to see Kim's principles slowly eroded away --Saul is toxic for her, he's such a bad influence!
