First Only one, Gaff (the lead assassin who hijacked the Los Pollos Hermanos truck earlier), meets with Gus. Later, Gus surprises Gale at home and tells him Walt is dying of cancer. Without Gale, Gus would be forced to retain Walter as the only cook capable of producing the high-quality meth needed to sustain his operations. Gus later phones the Cartel from his office, announcing he will capitulate to the Cartel's demands. When Barry questions whether or not Hector deserves to be in his condition, Gus states that Hector's fate is his to decide. The tequila had been poisoned with a fast-acting, lethal toxin. Gus explains that conditions with the Mexican Cartel have become intolerable and he only wishes to avert an all out war and needs Jesse's help. The cartel thugs weren't after the meth, Mike explains to Gus, but wanted to send a message. It is later revealed by Hank that Gus' laptop was heavily encrypted and thus useless to the DEA; therefore Walt and Jesse destroying it only gave the DEA a better lead ("Live Free or Die",  "Madrigal"). In interviews, Giancarlo Esposito said he made the choice to make Gus "graceful." ("Quite a Ride"), Mike reports to Gus on the status of the job and the problems associated with it. Gus is surprised by the eye contact and Hector then musters up an expression of pure wrath. Mike phones and instructs Walt to walk toward it. When Gus returns home, he and Nacho preserve Nacho's role as the mole in the Salamanca organization by destroying Gus's restaurant.

The other, badly injured, reaches for his gun. ), RELATED: Q&A with Saul creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, “He completely knows what Jimmy is doing and is just relaxed and calm about it, because before anyone even walks in the door, Gus sees what’s going on,” Esposito tells EW. "You're supposed to be some kind of 'reasonable' businessman. Nacho gains Lalo's trust, and after Domingo is arrested, Nacho and Lalo use Jimmy/Saul to secure Domingo's release from jail in exchange for the location of several of Gus's dead drops. ("Wiedersehen"). When Mike demands a second weighing ("new policy") Walt asks to see Gus to "clear the air." Here on Better Call Saul, a handful of years before the death of Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), Mike (Jonathan Banks) followed the trail of a tracking device to Los Pollos Hermanos, which Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) uses as his front, and he instructed Jimmy McGill/eventual Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) to pose as a customer and keep his eye on a guy with a backpack. "I intend to keep Walter on as long as he wants," Gus assures Gale. While Los Pollos Hermanos is a legitimate business, it serves as a front for Gu… Had the assassination been successful, Nacho's problems would be solved, but Lalo's cockroach-esque survival habit saw him wriggle to safety. Walt, seriously jarred by the plane collision over Albuquerque and his separation from Skyler, refuses the offer by claiming he is not a criminal and wants to be done with the business ("No Más"). Gustavo "Gus" Fring was a Chilean-born Albuquerque restaurateur, drug boss, business magnate, and philanthropist. "Why not break bread together?" Family Speaking in Spanish, Gus offers the Cartel $50 million. "I owe you my life. When he reports to the superlab, Walt is surprised to see that the locks have been changed (Victor has to let him in) and that Gale has been reinstated as his assistant ("Full Measure"). After a night in the desert, Mike kills the surviving gunman and Jimmy and he resume walking. Mike asks if Victor performed a sweep of Gale's apartment. As part of his investigation, Walter, Jr. drives Hank to Los Pollos Hermanos, where Hank chats briefly with Gus, who recognizes him from his charity work at the DEA. Is his answer yes or no? 2009 Clearly, he's not satisfied. While Gus had revealed some information about his relationship to Gale on Breaking Bad, this Better Call Saul scene allows viewers to see it firsthand. Hector's heart problems then kick in, as he proceeds to take Nacho's spiked pills, which surprisingly take no apparent effect. The gunman clearly was a plant, and Gus set it all up for Jesse's benefit. Just on a surface level, Better Call Saul divinely replicates all of the strengths of the preceding series.Breaking Bad appealed to a diverse audience as it wasn’t just a fictional crime show.It also had an ample amount of black humor, family drama and surrealism to draw in a wide range of different tastes, and Better Call Saul does a better job of this. Gale begs for his life, but, his eyes tearing, Jesse fires the gun ("Full Measure"). He has also established a full working relationship with Mike, who has become his chief of security and head enforcer. Walt tells Gus that Jesse is on the run and suggests that Gus has two options: Kill Walt and search for Jesse or "consider this a lone hiccup in an otherwise long and fruitful business arrangement." Despite initially offending Don Eladio, Gus eventually became a distributor for the Cartel, with Juan Bolsa acting as his boss. And I like the fact that they throw back in the feeling of Breaking Bad, Gus knowing, thus complicating the story, especially for Saul Goodman. After washing up, Gus silently changes back into his street clothes. Gustavo with Jesse, Walt, and Mike in the superlab following Gale's murder. Thus, Gus used his influence with the cartel to call off the hit on Walt ("Caballo Sin Nombre"). The look on his face indicated that he was aware that these two individuals were up to some kind of surveillance operation — and that he was possibly now formulating a next step of action. Played by Giancarlo Esposito . Quiet and humble, he is incredibly cautious about with whom he does business and keeps a very healthy distance from the product he sells in order to appear almost invisible. "I think you're behind all this," says Bolsa, threatening to pay Gus a visit when things calm down. Gus explains this by saying that General Augusto Pinochet's government was "guilty of a great many sins: first and foremost were his human rights abuses, but it was also notoriously unreliable about keeping records" ("Hermanos"). Gus wordlessly changes into one of the lab's orange clean-up suits. When Tyrus leaves to tell Gus it is clear, Walt presumably uses this time to plant a bomb under Hector's wheelchair. Character information Gus apologizes for being "so transparent," and invites Walt to take a drive with him. One is killed instantly. Lalo is awake at 3 a.m. so Nacho sets a kitchen fire as a distraction. He wanted to put heat on the cartel so that he could corner the entire Southwest meth market, Walt suggests. Little is known about Gus' past, except that he was supposed to have originally come from Chile. Despite being one step ahead of Walter at every turn and predicting every one of his attempts to kill him, Gus did have one weakness: his unbridled hatred for Hector. His cell phone rings. ("Hermanos") According to Gus himself, he spent his childhood living in extreme poverty and hunger, living in a shack with his siblings in the hills near a village. I’m over the moon. Better Call Saul has mostly answered that question, charting Mike's winding descent alongside Jimmy - a blend of money, circumstance, and rediscovering a sense of purpose. Gus was supposed to have emigrated to Mexico in 1986 during the Pinochet regime, and a few years later, in 1989, he was granted an entry visa into the United States ("Hermanos"). Hank concedes that he thought so too at first. In jail under an assumed name, Lalo contacts Nacho from jail and says he wants Nacho to burn down Gus's flagship Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant. After that cat-and-mouse game gets developed, then Gus will be interjecting himself into Hector’s [Mark Margolis’] world.”. Jesse locks eyes with Gus until, his face covered in blood, Gus pushes Victor's dead body to the floor. Gus offers to help Walt avoid mistakes that he himself made starting out. He tells Walt, "It's just like my mother used to make it.". 'Better Call Saul' showrunners told Entertainment Weekly that Gus Fring will have a role in season three of that series, but he won't appear right away. Social life Because Lalo remains suspicious, Gus shuts down construction of the underground meth lab and has Mike send Werner's workers home. He plots to have Wendy poison the dealers with burgers, but as Wendy and Jesse are in Jesse's car they notice that the dealers aren't in their regular spot. Gus replenishes Hank's soda and offers to pay for any future meals at Los Pollos Hermanos. "Do it," says Gus, evenly. Gus is also a man of honor as he reimburses any damages done to the property of his employees such as their cars when performing duties he requires them to. Giancarlo Esposito is an American actor and director. ASAC George Merkert and the family thank Gus for offering a $10,000 reward for information about the shooting. Lalo says he intends to return to Mexico in order to avoid the scrutiny of police and prosecutors. Gus crosses to Victor and slices his throat from behind. One of those connections is Ed Galbraith, the fake vacuum salesman and “Disappearer” who procures new identities for criminals who need to skip town. Walt can't meet Gus' icy stare. Related Articles. Gus asking Gale to learn Walt's formula as soon as possible in case "push came to shove" ("Full Measure"). Gus goes to a college chemistry lab and enlists the help of Gale Boetticher. Gus conducted his business with extreme caution, never dealing with drug addicts or those he saw as irrational or having poor judgment. Even in dangerous situations, he keeps his apathetic head. It is this warning that allows Hank to be prepared for the impending ambush and to attack the Cousins before they can attack him, eventually ending in Leonel's serious injury and Marco's death ("One Minute"). Anxious from the cartel attack, Jesse wants to know what is to become of him and Walt. In 2003, upon learning of Mike Ehrmantraut's vendetta against Hector, Gus assigns one of his men to place a tracking device in Mike's car to keep tabs on the latter's whereabouts at all times. ("Say My Name",  "Gliding Over All"). After a flashback to when Tio murdered Gus's friend Max when they pitched their meth to the cartel boss Don Eladio, Gus leans in close to Tio. Tio Salamanca about to murder Max Arciniega. His bodyguards investigate and are brought down by gunfire. When Mike asks if he was seen, he admits he was. Apparently, Gus only drove between work and home the entire week. Gus appears to be quite proud of his Chilean roots, even preparing Paila Marina, a traditional Chilean seafood dish, for both Walt and Jesse. ("I.F.T."). He walks past Walt and Jesse, dropping the box cutter. "As a show of respect," Gus replies, he will make an exception. The unseen shooter was Mike, who was tracking Jimmy for Gus. However, Gus has been shown to genuinely care about people, noticeably Max Arciniega (the other "hermano" of the Los Pollos Hermanos brand name), who Gus took off the streets of Santiago, put through school, cared for and was interested in developing his potential. They developed a high-class strain of meth under cover of the pair's burgeoning chicken restaurant business. Vince Gilligan has stated that he decided against the show officially confirming or denying whether or not Max and Gus were, in fact, lovers; however, he also said that they "probably were lovers." Eladio was more impressed with the large sum of money and professional presentation of Gus however, and ridiculed Hector, further fueling the flames of their rivalry. Gus asks Tio cryptically. Without knowing what that secret was, Esposito understood the potential Gus had as a growing character, therefore rejecting offers for guest appearances and insisting on becoming a series regular. Jesse pulls out his gun. "Emergency only," Mike says. Mike suggests hiring additional operatives and hitting back hard, but Gus responds, "This war stays cold for now," and instructs him to set up a meeting with the cartel. Walt is able to place a call to Jesse, explain his dire situation, and order to Jesse to follow through on the plan. He has a vengeful side as well and lives by a "blood for blood" motto ever since Max's death rather than simply business, killing the cartel proves to be more out of a personal vendetta. Furious, he flips the camera the bird ("Open House"). Privately, Bolsa warns Gus to finish the business with Walt quickly, "Or you risk losing the good graces of the cartel." After Max was killed before his eyes, the loss of such an emotional and possible romantic factor of his life snapped Gustavo into a ruthless crime lord. Despite his great respect for Gus, Walt has decided to stop cooking meth. Walt calls Gus to let him know that Gale isn't working out, and he wants to replace him with Jesse. While Hank gives Walt installation instructions, Mike pulls up beside Walt's car and stares him down. It is also implied that Fring is using an alias as speculated by Hank himself.
