Episode no. In the episode, Jimmy McGill agrees to travel to the desert as a "bagman" to pick up the $7 million that will serve as bail money for
Better Call Saul
The Kettlemans reject the offer and fire Kim, returning to Jimmy for legal help. When Jimmy tells the Kettlemans to return to Kim and take the plea deal, they remind Jimmy that he would go down with them after taking their bribe. Realizing this, Jimmy reluctantly takes their case.
The Colombian Gang are minor antagonists of Better Call Saul, serving as the main antagonists of the episode "Bagman" and the posthumous overarching antagonists of the episode that follows called “Bad Choice Road”.
Salamanca war. The police are still looking for Jimmy after his client, Lalo, paid a seven million dollars bail and fled the country.
Lalo tasked Jimmy with picking up the $7 million in bail money, believing he's the perfect guy for the job. Jimmy's task was the focus of this week's episode, "Bagman." Meeting the cousins in the middle of the desert to get the money sounds easy enough on-paper, but nothing's that simple in the Breaking Bad universe.
Lalo died smiling as a nod to the maniacal personality he carried throughout life, but also to stress the satisfaction he derived from having been right about Gus. The familiar, creepy smirk was one final act of rebellion. Even in his most painful moment, he refused to let Gus see a glimmer of defeat on his face.
The unseen shooter was Mike Ehrmantraut, who was tracking Jimmy for Gus Fring. Mike finds his truck was also disabled in the shootout, so he places a still-shaken Jimmy and the money in Jimmy's car and begins driving back to Albuquerque. Jimmy's car soon breaks down.
After Bolsa and Gus visit Hector and promise him vengeance for Lalo's supposed death, Gus realizes from Hector's demeanor that Lalo is still alive.
She says that she withheld the news from Jimmy that Lalo was alive because she knew what would happen — that Jimmy would protect her, hide with her and end the plot against Howard. And were that to happen, “We'd break up,” as she puts it.
Season 5. The hitmen are hired by Gustavo Fring through a middle man to assassinate Lalo Salamanca once he returns home to Mexico. With the reluctant assistance of Nacho Varga opening the back gate, the men gain access to Lalo's home, killing his staff.
The ultracompetent attorney who married Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), the man most likely to bring out the shadier side of her character, never appears in Breaking Bad, which led some viewers to assume she would die before Saul finished its run. But as Monday's series finale confirmed, Kim Wexler lives on.
Lalo insists Jimmy is fine because "he's like la cucaracha" (cockroach in Spanish), which, according to Lalo, indicates that Jimmy is a "born survivor."
Mike Ehrmantraut drives to the site where he committed the ice-cream truck robbery. Using information Nacho Varga provided, he finds the body of the Good Samaritan who was killed after freeing Ximenez Lecerda. He then makes an anonymous call and reports the location to the police. At home, Chuck McGill shares with Dr.
He confesses to enabling Walt and admits his role in Chuck's suicide. He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul. Kim is allowed to visit him under false pretenses and they share a cigarette.
Before he met Walt and Jesse, Saul had dealt with many other drug lords. For example, in Better Call Saul, he charged Lalo $100,000 just to pick up a stack of cash. By combining his legal income with the cuts he gets by making the wishes of gangsters come true, his net worth could easily sum up to the tens of millions.
Tiburón, which means "Shark" in Spanish, survives the initial assault and spends the rest of the episode hunting Jimmy and Mike through the desert in his car; In this case, Tiburón is the quick shark hunting for the slow little fish, Jimmy and Mike.
She tells Jimmy that they are bad for one another—that the chaos they've created together is too much for her conscience, despite having “the time of [her] life” doing it. She cancels her own law license, packs her bags, and leaves Saul for an unknown destination.
He wanted to gloat. Because it's Lalo, he wanted to show off and that's ultimately what became his demise, him basking in the glory.
Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton)
Lalo Salamanca is simply a psychopath. His way of thinking is different than most people's. Unlike Jack Welker, Salamanca isn't motivated by the moment's pleasure.
Up to this point, Gus is portrayed as the smartest person on the show, matched only by Walter White in Breaking Bad. In spite of this, Lalo is able to believably outmaneuver him at nearly every turn.
Nacho Varga, Howard Hamlin and Lalo Salamanca all, like Kim Wexler, remain unseen throughout Breaking Bad, and all are killed off in Better Call Saul's final season, making Kim's escape even more astounding.
Nacho flees as the assassins enter and kill most of Lalo's family and guards. Lalo kills all but one assassin and then tells him to call the middleman who arranged the attack and report that Lalo was killed. Lalo realizes Nacho has betrayed him and angrily strides away from his house.
So, Juan Bolsa was behind the attempted hijacking of Lalo's $7 million in bail cash. At least, that is what Gus has concluded after talking to the elegant, even-tempered señor. The question is, why? Here's why, according to Gus: “He was trying to protect his business by protecting our business.”
That night, at the laundromat, Jimmy finds the three youths who previously mugged him. He offers to cut them in on his phone business if they agree to not hassle him.
Jimmy rants about taking revenge in Illinois against someone named Chet by defecating through the sunroof of Chet's car (the "Chicago Sunroof") without realizing Chet's children were in the back seat.
