    1:47 I just realized the reason why they pass it through the curtain instead of just giving it to the shipment guy is so that he doesnt know which barrel has the blue in it, and is thus one less loose end in case the cops ever stop him.

    • @peoplez129
      @peoplez129 7 месяцев назад +222

      The curtain is there for food safety, or at least, the appearance of such. The sauce is actually real, they might even still use the sauce after moving the product, so they have to generally keep it as clean as possible. It reaches its location and is then removed, and then truck goes on to actually deliver the sauce. The reason being is they can't exactly create twice the amount of sauce production without raising suspicion if someone were to ever look closer, and that would also be an extra expense. The trucks have to appear normal, so they have to actually distribute the sauce in case anyone is investigating them.

      I really hope this is a joke comment and not just an oblivious assumption.
      Gus was trying to replace Walter with Gale because he knew Gale would be obedient but Walt was power hungry. He would have killed Walter once Gale learnt his recipe, which is why Walt ordered Jesse to kill Gale first. Even if Gus was willing to keep Walter around, it would have still been perilous for Walt’s family, as seen when Gus literally states that he is willing to kill his infant daughter. So no, Mike was wrong, it wouldn’t have ended up good even if Walt kept his head down, either Walt or his family would be dead.
      Edit: Even if Walt didn’t run over the 2 drug dealers, and Gus didn’t think of him as a threat, that would still result in Jesse’s death, since it was a two-against-one gunfight. So there was still never an option for Walt and Jesse to “keep their heads down” and continue working for Gus. Either one of them would end up dead.

    All the sound effects of them working to the music all perfectly synced together is supposed to be the symphony of clockwork & performance & perfection Gus actually created throughout the decades 💯
    This should be titled "Gustavo's Symphony"

    This is weirdly satisfying.
    Also this background music is better than it has to be.

    How nice of Gus Fring to authorize a glass disposal business in the basement of his properties. It protects everyone

    You know it's just really cool, all the same. All details in this show. For example, this "ad" says that Los pollos hermanos is from Mexico, despite Gus being the founder. Gus was born in Chile

    Another reason to appreciate BCS is showing how Gus got to the point he officially had his drug empire.
    In BB, it was said Gus had been doing it for 20 years and building his own distribution over that time but most of the time he was under the Cartel’s thumb with his influence growing with the Salamanca operation declining, the Cartel relying more on Gus, Gus constructing the Superlab, Gus running the North Valley under Bolsa’s supervision.
    With production on his territory and causing pressure on the Cartel by having the Cousins and Bolsa killed, Gus officially had his drug empire.
    That’s why the Cartel attacked his trucks in Season 4 and wanted Gus to work for them again which resulted in Gus destroying the Cartel.
    Final step was Lydia’s idea with the Czech Republic but Gus died before it could be finalised.
    Walt went on to use Lydia’s idea for his own drug empire, which is why Walt’s operation is considered bigger than Gus’ operation.

    I still can't tell which Breaking Bad Montage i like better , this or season 5 crystal blue persuasion montage!!!!! Both are so perfect ❤
    This is Gus's montage & that one is Walts montage in my opinion because its literally both of them being on top with everything in their empires running like clockwork!!!!!
    Both montages also could make perfect commercials & trailers to get new ppl interested in watching the show also ❤

    The one thing I always loved about this is that, drug manufacturing montage aside, the commercial makes Los Pollos Hermanos look like some juicy rotisserie chicken restaurant rather than a sparsely decorated yellow Popeyes.

    I remember there was a pollería (chicken shop) in my neighborhood, and around 2012 they changed their name and image to that of "Los Pollos Hermanos" it was shut down in 2 weeks.
