When I watched this scene I feel like gomez is imitating hank, copying him because hank is the best. I can almost hear this line being said by hank. I feel like this shows how much gomez admired hank. He was his hero.
@@ExtremeSpeedMewtwo Lalo Salamanca (tucos cousin) and Howard Hamlin (sauls old boss/enemy) are buried under the meth lab. Cuz Lalo killed Howard and Gus killed Lalo inside the meth lab. Lalo and Howard have been buried there ever since. Oh btw, f u inc3l :) we can comment whatever the hell we want. Go back to 4chan or Reddit to go cry about it.
@@MinorityRespecter88 Real cause was heart attack caused by 'unknown reasons'. Heh. The regime doesn't want people to say it but non-wokies already know what that actually means.
TRUE - The logical way is to find a mall or big multi entrance business and have them go in and out like regular people. However once in the facility they go to the BAT-cave and in a nondescript and always changing van they get driven to the hidden lab. No employee should ever see or even know of the lab or the people working there.
Unless you're a car guy or know the person in question you won't really notice or care. Anyone who does know walt might think "oh look it's the same ugly cart, Walter drives, that's funny." And Jesses car is forgettable unless you know what it is. We as viewers might find the car unforgettable, but most people don't care. That being said I agree they did run the risk of themselves being seen there. Hank sure as shit knows Walt's car and probably his plate, so that could have happened here, maybe. I don't think Hank knew about Jesses Toyota like he did the low rider.
@@Jesse-fd5bv Yes. Don't forget how he was a senator for a million years. And Hunter Biden was always who he's been exposed to be over the past few years.
@@jeffw8218he would need a warrant for that, it falls beyond the plain view doctrine and any evidence gathered through an illegal search would have been thrown out of court.
@twisted_nether373 A genius? Ha, no. It’s a reference to the same family of shows… you seem to have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s sad, really.
goes to show just how smart gus actually was covering the scent of the chemicals with the laundries chemicals maybe thats why the dog couldnt smell it and even to be safe on top of that he turned off the meth lab
Gomez would have no reason to not immediately tell the rest of the DEA at that point. This was an investigation into Gus operations. Walt would have to immediately be taken into custody so they could further pursue Gus. It would suck for Hank, but since Walt at this point is just the cook and not the kingpin then Hank would just be reassigned instead of dismissed from the DEA.
@@whichDude realistically Hank would have to declare conflict of interest and would be investigated for corruption. He was shown to be not politically savvy. He'd be thrown under the bus career-wise, maybe even legally
@@willowandluka5302 Even with that, Gomez doesn’t really get anything here other than suspicions about the laundromat. If he found out on his own that Walt was Heisenberg I think he’d still not go to Hank with it for fear Hank might be involved and thinking maybe Hank was playing him and wanting to figure out the laundromat for some reason.
@@Hamstray lol? It's way more suspicious to tell the cops to come back later with a warrant. If you don't have nothing to hide, you don't have nothing to fear from a quick police lookaround.
Which would then cause suspicion, and then have the DEA be super dedicated to finding a way to get a warrent and search the place harder. When you look like you have nothing to hide, people’s suspicions are lowered. What he did was the more appropriate choice. Let them sniff around, see that the dog could fine nothing, think theyre wasting their time, and move on.
Noticed how calm and approachable Agent Gomez is in this scene. No raid jacket, no DEA marking, not even a weapon showing. All tactics to acquire consent to search. Gomez even gave a BS story to established trust and rapport
Yeah I don’t know how well this would’ve held up in court. The shift manager is not the property owner, so I doubt if his “okay” is legal consent. Saul Goodman easily would’ve gotten this thrown out
Very underrated scene, I wish Gomez had more scenes like this on his own, would’ve been cool to see his perspective on the Heisenberg situation in Albuquerque when Hank was down in Mexico
A laundromat is a self service laundry, usually coin operated. The word is a portmanteau of Laundry and Automat. Strictly speaking this is just a laundry.
What choice did he have, Gomie threatened to come back with a search warrant and 20 agents. They'll confirm their suspicions of you if they think you have something to hide.
It's a show ofc but tbh he is, burger-flippers are valuable workers who deserve equal compensation. People don't think about that until they want a burger and if they got their way oh look, no burgers.
@@THESLlCK oh sure, I just meant that a lot of the people who look down on others for having "lower" jobs than them often don't consider just how important those "lower" jobs are to the functioning of society
For those of you who don’t know, the laundromat manager is one of the guys Mike was paying to keep quiet. He’s the one that gets doused in lighter fluid, trapped in the cell and burned to death. I also am now finding out the actor passed away not long ago. RIP sir. Thank you
0:32 historically, The Salamancas always said that the Fringes were nothing more than a glorified crew. They make anyone and everyone over there. Guys don't get their finger pricked. There's no sword and gun on the table.
I thought Quezada was incredible in the scenes where Hank is dealing with El Paso. Made me forget I was watching a show, felt like I was just watching someone be truly concerned for their friend.
R.I.P. Mike Batayeh, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him and his great ability to bring laughter and joy to so many.
Yeah same. I know it's not revealed after the lab went up in smoke, but I wonder if the DEA and forensics ever came across their bodies when Hank and all them were walking through it. (My best guess is probably not given they buried them both pretty deep down using a tractor to dig the hole)
When i'm read in news "Breaking Bad actor dies" - my heart stopped for a second. He's stopped again, when i'm read "Mike", but after a moment i remembered that the actor, who played Mike, was named Jonathan Banks, but dаmn... it still hurts. RIP Mike Batayeh. At least you won't BURN in hell like your character EDIT: Sorry for bad english, i'm mexican. Taco-taco burrito, you know
@@RemoGutierrez1 air proof? I mean, the 200 pounds a meth a week has to leave the lab, right? hard to believe there wouldn’t be a trace of meth in that place
I would have just been like "Go get your warrant." He was bluffing. No judge was gonna give him a warrant for that. And Hank, no way they will let Gomez take another look at the place. They won't fall for that again.
The issue is that they would be suspicious and try to find a way to investigate without authorization. By letting them search and find nothing, they’re not going to bother that area anymore.
@@newhappythoughts1628 Id just tell them that I'm not qualified to say yes or no and will simply either wait for the warrant or wait until my boss returns. Like "I can't give consent without my boss's approval."
@@newhappythoughts1628 It doesn't look suspicious. It looks more like a guy who just wants to follow the rules and do what's best for the business. And they have already been investigated both illegally and without authorization. So if "extra-legal" investigation would continue after this, then it will only hurt the Feds and help Gus
I love how slick Gomez is here. Plays it so relaxed then turns into a machine scanning the place. Also a huge nod to how tidy and airtight Gus’ operation actually is
@mattiscool They can't get one without probable cause. He was only there because Hank had a hunch, which is insufficient to obtain a search warrant. Again, he was bluffing. If Dennis had stood his ground and refused access Gomie would have just left and gone back to tell Hank that the old "knock and talk."
Dennis had no idea whether Gommie was bluffing or not. For all he knew the DEA could’ve been investigating Gus (they just interrogated him weeks before). So it was a smart choice to just let these two agents inspect the building during a working day instead of twenty agents inspecing an empty laundry. Basically both Dennis and Gomie played well.
@Autism Extreme but if they don’t do it legally it doesn’t matter. Anything they find would be thrown out. And they didn’t have the PC necessary to get a warrant. It was 100% a bluff. No cop who can get a search warrant is going to ask for permission first.
I think it speaks to the quality of BB/BCS that every somewhat main character feels like they could have their own spin off. No character feels “slapped together”
As much as we'd all love that, I think it's best that they just end it after BCS season 6. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Hank and Steve in their early years before they were given the Heisenberg case. And I'd especially love to see Mike's career as a police officer till his son died and then his relocation to Albuquerque. But if they just kept the saga going with more and more origin stories, it'd be like Walking Dead; reverse watered down 🤷♂️
@@asdfasdf3989 cops will train drug dogs to “alert” when they do a specific action, like taking a picture. It’s so they can “legally” search a domicile without consent or probably cause, “hey the dog smelled something let’s search your house or car”
@@asdfasdf3989Cops can get dogs to alert but tapping their foot or something, so if the dog jumps they can take a picture of anything because its reasonable suspicion which can then be used as evidence, i think
Excellent social engineering by Steve, here. Setting aside whether or not he believed the guy, he managed to convince the guy he is on his side. What was particularly effective was how Dennis said he had to check with his boss, and Steve told him things would be more difficult if that's the route he took. Instead, he presented a logistically easier scenario that was an offer that could not be refused.
Smart of both Dennis and I assume Gus to eventually allow a search after some hesitation. Stonewalling would have made it much worse, and someone as methodical as Gus knew how to completely cover his tracks like the laundry chemicals masking any drug odors for the dog. It’s no wonder that while Mike may not have liked Fring, he respected the professionalism immensely. That trait was a major difference between Fring and Walt. Mike’s last rant to Walt- about having a good thing that was actually perfect-really showed what Mike thought of Fring and the setup, that if Walt had just known his place and did his job, they all could have been rich forever, and their families would have been set for a generation at least. Knowing his granddaughter would lose all that along with her good name, it’s a wonder Mike didn’t kill Walt on the spot. And he should have
Actually it wasnt. It caused the downfall of Gus. If he had told Gomey to go get a warrant, no judge wouldve given him one. They probably wouldnt be allowed to ever go back and search the place again.
