How Did Gus Know Lalo Was Still Alive? | Better Call Saul Explained

In Better Call Saul, how did Gus Fring know Lalo Salamanca was still alive? After Gus met with Hector Salamanca, why did he say to Mike "Lalo Salamanca lives!"?

How did Gus know Lalo was still alive? It seems incredible that he would have all the evidence of Lalo’s death piled up in front of him and still refuse to accept Lalo’s death. Let's take a look...

The fact that all the assassins were killed was the biggest red flag that something wasn’t right with the Lalo hit

Gus was a very patient man... he never rushed into anything ....he was always precise.... Gus knew he was alive because even Gus was using a body double...

Hector shook Gus's hand. The fact that Hector was *not* being a monumental prick for once in his life - and to *Gus, * no less - tipped the chicken man off that something was fucky.

So cool to see your style of videos applied to Breaking Bad and BCS, they definitely deserve these discussion videos just as much as The Sopranos and The Wire. Keep it up Cineranter

6:24 I had to pause here.
"Gus knows Hector knows Gus knows Hector knows Lalo is alive!"


Okay, so... Hector knows that Lalo is alive, and Gus knows that Hector can verify/has verified that Lalo is alive. But Hector can tell that Gus can read him. And Gus can tell that Hector can tell. Okay.. Haven't had to pause since Death Note.

Great video CineRanter! You always manage to find a fresh perspective, I really enjoy that!

It was Hector who gave it away with that smirk on his face Gus knew frm there all Hector had to was act miserable which he was all the time apart frm the time wen he gave Lalo away.

You should do a video on why Nacho chose to tell Hector and the twins that he helped killed Lalo and provoked them to more anger by telling them about the sugar pills. This always puzzled me a bit because don't you think Hector and his crazy nephews are the type of people willing to kill Nacho's dad for revenge? Even after Nacho dies.. I can see Hector being so enraged that he demands Nachos dad be killed too. Idk, just a thought

[cowntfranchewla]

Gus isn't paranoid, because all of his fears are reasonable

[thegamingcrew]

this whole video looks like a gta loading screen

[idk-phpv]

Wait gus is one of the protagonists as Lalo is clearly the enemy and he is against gus plus mike is his guard so

Lalo would have got to Gus easy if it wasn’t for Hectors pride and sloppiness. Ironically, it was Hector that ultimately let the Salamanca family down. I’m commenting this from the start of the vid so if you say the same thing know I didn’t copy you. I’m a bit of a genius when it comes to storylines

Thank you, no Pesci opening. Loud cackling and yelling doesn't match your voice. It's jarring range makes it impossible to binge or relax watching your videos. It's juvenile too. Your channel should of been had more viewers. But you keep your ego and pride. Do you.
