  • Shortly after Werner is invited to evaluate the construction site, he is introduced to Gustavo.
    Season 4 Episode 5 - Quite A Ride: In a flash forward (taking place during Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias"), Francesca quickly shreds documents and Saul frantically collects cash, mementos, and paperwork from his office before contacting his "disappearer" for a new identity. In 2003, Jimmy convinces a customer to buy several prepaid cellular phones as a way to maintain his privacy and then gets the idea to profit by reselling prepaid phones on the street. He sells them all, but the venture proves unsuccessful because he is mugged by three teenagers. As Kim treats his wounds, he blames himself for not recognizing the threat and promises to see a psychologist but instead goes to work the next day as usual. Kim is assigned as pro bono counsel for several defendants. When a problem arises with recent Mesa Verde paperwork, Kim sees her current case through to completion before responding, for which Paige later reprimands her. Mike discreetly escorts foreign structural engineers through the industrial laundry so they can evaluate the space below as a site for Gus's planned meth "superlab." Gus is impressed by one, Werner Ziegler, and offers him the job of planning and overseeing the construction of the facility.

    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

    I love that little detail of him returning back to his book when talking about how much concrete they need. Werner makes calculations for all eventualities, and he wants to be as precise as possible when he gives his estimates, so he returns to his calculations instead of winging the numbers. This precision, professionalism, and no BS attitude is why Gus chose him. Sadly Werner is too honest, too innocent to understand the danger that such project entails.

      Stands to reason Walt got away with Vamonos only because at that point anyone who could implicate him was dead, in cahoots, or frying bigger fish in Hank's case as ASAC. It gets glossed over but they more or less quit doing business in Albuquerque once Declan and Lydia take over distribution - at least, they don't do any more business in ABQ than anywhere else in the SW so for anyone's guess they may as well have been cooking on the ISS.

And then he went and did something worse. That’s not the kind of thing that gets you killed in the legitimate world but Werner wasn’t in the legitimate world and he either knew that or should have. His stupidity got him killed more than any cruelty on Gus’s part.

    I wonder if this subplot came about due to all the engineers contacting the creators of Breaking Bad expressing how difficult or unrealistic the hidden lab would have been to make. So they sat down, and worked out exactly how it could be done and thought that would make for interesting TV.

    • @milesmcstylez

      TBH it would have been so much easier (and cheaper) to build the hidden lab first at a new location, then build a new laundromat overtop, then vacate/sell the original laundromat. Companies relocate all the time.
      Until BCS, it never even occurred to me that the laundromat was built first and then a secret basement was excavated underneath after the fact; I doubt it occurred to many engineers watching the show either.

Seems to me he likely made an assessment that all the hoopla with moving/opening a new place is more fraught with opportunities to follow the money and paperwork, instead of letting people continue to pay no mind to a laundromat which has been there for years. Building the lab second prevents any curious eyes in the zoning department from wondering why a laundromat needs such an extensive substructure.

      You have to take into account that during this episode it's the year 2003. Just looking up everything like nowadays might not have been possible or wouldn't even occur to most people. All three men in this scene are born no later than 1960. Lots of people significantly younger then that have a hard time navigating the internet to this day - just look at most politicians! Looking up Gus Fring on the internet in 2003 might have pointed to his business in New Mexico but not to any specific location in that state.
      Realistly though I think this level of secracy just didn't matter anymore once Gus was sure he would work with Werner Zieeegler. They were all in this together. Especially considering that Werner and his team were allowed to venture outside to have a drink at one point. Gus ordered Werners death because of his escape. He wouldn't have gone so far if Werner just accidently figured out that they are in New Mexico. Gus couldn't trust Werner anymore and that sealed the latters fate.
      Another possibility would be that Gus' disregarded any possibility of his dealings with Werner (and eventually Werners crew) to backfire. Threre is a slight chance that some German engineers (who knowingly work for dubious clients thus incriminating themselves) might find out that he has some chicken restaurants in New Mexico. So what? They would have no idea of his criminal enterprise or anything else. Gale knowing who Gus is (to an extent) was a much greater risk, considering Gales careless character. For Gus establishing a good and trusting business relationship by meeting Werner Zieeegler in person might have been worth this minisucle risk.
