He cares for, listen to and respects his disabled elderly relative, he delivers tough justice to these awful slave traders, he gives the money back to the poor victims. What a brave hero that Lalo is!
*Assassin:* We were contacted by an intermediary, we don't know who hired us. *Lalo:* I can do that too, and I will enjoy the irony of you dying by the same trick, Pollero !
Whats really cool about this is the rough directions Lalo gives to Gus's house. The house they used that was Gus's and those directions actually line up.
HECTOR brilliant charter and actor he perhaps was arrogant and not the smarterst in some ways but he was the one from start to know what gus was up to he know his shit.
people fail to realise, Gus couldnt defend himself, hence him saying "it merits no response." In the mafia, if you call another family member a liar, you get shot. So instead he had to just let the Don discuss the evidence. "did anyone hear the phone call?" No. "Did the other guy take money from the guys Gus is accusing?" yes
This was the end of Better Call Saul as we know it. Chronogically after a few years the story of Walter begins and ends with the final 3 episodes to wrap it up all.
What makes Gus dangerous and invulnerable are his connections. He has armed personnel and is guarded 24/7, he even had Mike with him who's practically a veteran in this line of work. Meanwhile Lalo prefers to do everything all by himself to make sure everything goes well. He's persistent and unstoppable. He'll do anything and everything to reach Gus. That's what made Gus so paranoid, he knew Lalo is coming for him. The hunter becomes the one hunted.
Gus knew that Lalo was a big danger for him. He was very smart and clever and he wasn’t as gullible as the others. Also Lalo never underestimated Gus like Eladio did. Eladio thought that being so powerful and with his connection he had that Gus would never dare to oppose him. He was blinded by his own selfishness and greed. On the other hand Lalo knew that Gus was willing to take revenge on the cartel to avenge his lover. Gus needed to exterminate Lalo because he would always be a thorn to his plans,
