Wow, I love the little detail in Gus offering to clean his watch because it symbolizes that the watch is dirty because it was just in the trash.
Bravo, Vince! Bravo! 👏
Swing and a miss 😂
The fact that enough people have watched this in the first 12 hours to account for just over 10% of the channel’s subscribers (115k subs and 150k views) is astonishing to me…
I think the watch symbolizes both Jimmy's & Gus's weaknesses for money & pride. Both Jimmy's act of dropping the watch & Gus's act of letting go of the watch symbolize their shared desire to escape being slaves to capitalism. Truly one of the scenes of all time.
I interpreted it as Gus’ informal attempt to get Jimmy to hang back a few seconds longer to get a better ‘scent’ of him.
You don’t meet Gus. Gus meets you.
Thru a proper guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who...
Unless it’s through your mom.
My guy knows a guys who knows a guy😂
You don't knock Walter. Walter knock you.
Gus first line in BCS/BB. "Can I help you?" Gus last line in BCS/BB. "HAAAAAWWHHH!"
"What's with the bell, Hector? Wanna go to the toilet that bad?"
I love that we're shown how hard Jimmy tries to go unnoticed and blend in with his environment while in the background we see the master of hiding in plain sight and he's purposefully indirectly shown to us for 2 weirdly long shots of Jimmy's face lol
Jimmy's a con man, he's focused on the one guy. As long as that guy doesn't notice he's being watched, Jimmy's meeting his goals as far as he's concerned. But to an observant third party, like the audience or Gus, it's very obvious that he's watching this one guy Ironically this makes Jimmy's quick thinking with the watch kinda backfire--if Gus knows he's acting suspicious, then he'll know that Jimmy probably didn't actually lose his watch, which means Jimmy must be clever, think quick on his feet, and is probably experienced at this kind of thing. Gus gets a full read on Jimmy, without ever having to reveal himself at all, and Jimmy's too busy trying to not blow his cover that he's not even looking for anything suspicious
@@dandelionthief3979 that's insane writing honestly
@@dandelionthief3979 Can you help with this scene? i've only seen clips. Who is that guy being watched and why did he come into Gus' place?

You don't even realize that it's Gus for almost 75% of that blurred shot. The fact that your mind just clicks and then you can't unsee him.
What a nice man that Gus guy is. He's the owner of the restaurant but he's out there cleaning the tables and picking up trash. Such an upstanding and wholesome member of the community.
He also supports Blue Lives Matter 🥹🙏
he is also a substantial supporter of the anti drug campaign of Albuquerque's police force

I love Jimmy's continual disgust at the taste of the coffee.
Too much sugar 🤓.
It wasn’t slippin enough
Lyle will pay for this...
Yeah, I caught that too! You would think that in any one of Gus Fring's Los Pollos Hermanos restaurants that the coffee would be top notch, and taste fantastic!
@@michaelnazaruk4100 He didn't like it because he himself put too much sugar in it
Gus' demeanor is just so friendly and charming. Its crazy to think it's all a charade. And what an insane performance from Gian Carlo.
His Spanish is shockingly bad
It makes me wonder if this is the real Gus, while his connections to the underworld made him adapt and become a monster for survival.
@@keithh273idk seems like he was a bit of a shady character considering his ambiguous background in Chile
@@jackohalloran6659 That's a very good point!
I lost ALL respect for Giancarlo when he took up the Spanish-speaking parts of the series with zero study or preparation. It was just so inexcusably awful and cringey to watch for anyone who understands native-level Spanish, much less Chilean accents.
I love how Gus is a millionaire but he still takes his time to do simple activities around the restaurant.
The guy just want everything perfect and under his control, that's his obssession
To be fair, that's what most Chik Fil A owners do as well
The appearance of normality is important to a savvy criminal mastermind. Normal activies, and mundane tasks give the impression of an everyday man trying to get by.
Gotta stay grounded, fam
What else is he gonna do?
Saul reaction time was perfect, so quick to think to let go the watch, perfect cover, genius
As much as I liked the character, that to me was just showing how he's always the snake in the grass slithering his way in and out of scenarios.
i think it would have been in the script so he would have read it and they would have told him what to do and say

Gus is not stupid. He noticed that Jimmy looking for something else. This is how they find Mike and start following him.
and jimmy is the look but dont make it obvious meme
they had already started following mike at this point and he followed them back to los pollos which is why he sent jimmy in there. this is how gus knew that mike was onto him
Mike should have known better than to use somebody as inconspicuous as Jimmy.
No way
"Gus is not stupid. He noticed that Jimmy looking for something else. This is how they find Mike and start following him." How does that make sense? Gus sees someone possibly acting shady with his head in the garbage at the restaurant, and then he just knows that somehow he's gotta tail this guy to find Mike?
I could watch an entire show about Gus just going about his life doing everyday things like a normal person.
I could watch an entire watch about Watch just going about his watch doing everyday watches like a normal watch.
A series that’s just Gus doing his chores, going shopping, ironing his clothes. No crime or anything. Just a pretty older man doing his thing

This is without a doubt the best way that BCS ever brought back a character from “Breaking Bad.” If you had watched BB, it was practically obvious that Gus was the one moving around Jimmy and you were on the edge of your seat waiting for it to be made official. If you hadn’t seen BB, it was still made clear that the character was very important. Such excellent framing 💯
That way they framed his double cheeks tho 😩 Bravo Vince, excellent work as always.
The framing and introduction of Gus in BCS was perfect. Gus was blurred out in the background, cleaning and bussing tables. As he got closer, his head was never in the frame. He was moving around people, invisible to everyone, including Saul. Amazing introduction to a top-tier villain.
My teenage son, caught it, before I did. I'm slipping. Lol.
I hate that I read that as him "bussing😏" tables
one of the only times Jimmy and Gus interact with each other in the series
The only I think 🤔
Sadly
I think it's implied that they have interacted with each other in other instances, just not shown
Who is that manager guy? His face really rings a bell!
Your worst nightmare, if you cross him.
lmao I think I see what you did there
_...HAA--__
LOL
I can tell you, but it’s going to blow your head.
Gus when he sells you chicken :😄 Gus when he sells you drugs: 😠
I love that he's in soft focus on the background but as soon as you see that cream colored shirt you know
I liked the part where he said "a watch clasp breaking is bad" and then they winked and did finger guns at each other.
That didn't happen in this clip. Did it happen at all?
@@marcuslandryIt did happen, as clear as day

Why did they make guns for Finger out of nowhere? Are they stupid?
The ridiculous amount of time the camera spent on Saul's face made it very clear something else is happening in the background :P
It is so sad to me that this is their only seen together, their characters complement each other so well, it almost makes me wish Gus blackmailed Jimmy instead of Nacho
My guess is it's because they really have no affinity for each other given that Jimmy is chaotic neutral and Gus is lawful evil. It's probably why Gus typically sent Mike who is lawful neutral to deal with Jimmy instead given they at least have some affinity as neutral characters.
Wouldn't have worked with the continuity anyhow. Saul and Gus never interact directly in Breaking Bad and Saul wasn't even aware of Gus being the Meth Distributor as Mike kept that information from him.
yeah it is sad , 😢
@@craigore2011lawful?
Yes, I understand your confusion about that. A big misconception about being "lawful" in terms of this morality system is that it doesn't mean adhering to laws as written but to one's own established sense of right and wrong which Gus does as a very orderly person with a strong tendency to do what is "right" even if it's evil or illegal as hell. "Chaotic," the opposite of lawful, is not giving a shit even if one knows it's wrong which better describes the Salamancas and Saul Goodman.
Never seen a manager be this professional and helpful. He could be the manager of the year

You gotta give kudos to the director for choosing to portray this scene with the use of a video camera and microphones. That way, human senses can turn the light and vibrations into information and understand the story. I heard the studio was going for electric and termosensors instead, but Vince stood his ground. Bravo!
I love how in the scene, they edited clips they had filmed of actors pretending to be characters, while those actors were saying lines they had memorized and behaving in ways consistent with their characters. I also love how they used multiple angles, shots, and types of focal lengths. Absolutely masterful.
I love the way they hit record so they can show us these masterful performances later on.
Gilligan never ceases to amaze! Bravo Vince!
It's brilliant how they filmed this with cameras. Vince you've done it again
@@Nutthut BRO i know right? It’s sheer genius
It's truly amazing how they captured a specific moment in time in video format for watching at a later time. Maybe one day they can figure out how to record non-moving picture
The scene where Walt is first mentioning Gus by name in Saul's office, and Saul is extremely quiet and deep in thought, I feel like he's thinking back to this moment. "The guy who tried to help with the watch? That was him? Holy Shit!"
When I first watched this episode it was killing me that Gus was just hovering around fully aware of the situation cleaning up like any old restaurant manager /worker! 😂
His mule was in the building so he was high alert, he was pretending to be busy so he could watch for any suspicious behaviour
What a helpful, nice man and entrepreneur. I'm sure he's not some drug lord who's going to get half his face blown off by a man in a wheelchair.
Half a face! The other half is still intact, for the case when somebody wants to look at him from his left side
@@SuperCosty2010 Yeah you're right I fixed it
Well now how would you've come to such a horrific idea??
DINGDINGDINGDINGGG
How very non specific of you
I wish they had another interaction before BB. Like Saul stops by to eat or order food home then Gus kindly talks to him again.
I think how short it is is more clever as they both don't realise the impact they end up having on each other. Just one brief encounter
I feel the same. Interesting that this first appearence of gus on the show is the only scene he shares with the protagonist. Any way, the form that it was made was actually more plausable, because they re not suposed to have any relationship, the same in BB.
Yea
@@ElStink4Kholy crap that’s actually so smart and why they never met eachother ever again or even exchange a real dialogue even though both are main characters
The way Saul dropped the coffee cup in the trash is the same way Walt did it in season 4 episode 6 capturing the fate of Walt, Saul and Gus perfectly. Absolutely genius.
Bravo Vince!
"It's been in worse places." Yeah like an old folks home dumpster with fresh diapers being poured on his head.
Made me think of Pulp Fiction.
I like how they showed Gus's athletic behind in tight pants. It symbolizes that Gus takes care of everything, even his body. Vrabo Bince!
Bruh and that shot where’s he walking up to Lalo’s table???? DOUBLE CHEEKED UP

These two had the roles of their lifetime as well, along with Bryan, Aaron, Dean, and Jonathan, of course. Genius casting!
I love how this mimics Walts first visit there and trying to figure things out.
Same with Lalo
And Salamanca twins as well
This is the exact moment Jimmy's watch became Heisenwatch
You know, apart from being a blood-soaked drug kingpin, Gus Fring was a damn good boss and example to his restaurant employees.
That was some real quick and sharp thinking from Jimmy, outsmarting Gus of all people just like that.
The way Gus is offering help to clean the watch... fabulous! Bravo Vince!
I don’t get it can you explain why it’s important ????? I am having a hard time understanding why
It's a meme.@@Blakviet05
@@Blakviet05he wanted to see if the clasp was broken
Gus has a subtle way of asking something so insignificant, to get at the truth. Like When he was at the FBI, making a community service visit. He noticed a picture of Walt and Hank, together: "Is he one of your agents?" Lol
I love that they include the spinning fan on the ceiling which has is meaningful on several levels. First, it signifies that it’s New Mexico and its hot there. More importantly, it signifies that it’s going to get insanely hot for Gus when the bomb blows up in his final scene!
That’s reaching a bit far buddy😂
The moving, circular motion of the fans are also a definitive and deliberate creative decision to showcase the concept and nature of ''cycles'' - how most characters go through the same ''cycle'' as others - having a lucky break, experiencing success and then experiencing their own downfall from their own decision, greed and all. Evidently wrote and planned by the showrunners - I expected nothing less than seeing those fans, used both literally and symbolically!
Bravo Vince!
It also signifies that we are all fans of the show
I see now how it was there to symbolize the downward spiral of all the corrupt characters in the Breaking Bad universe.
Crazy to think that this is literally the only time we see them interacting directly
love the detail in saul still looking for something in the trash even after gus found his watch
3:16 "Ah! There it is. Right behind the camera."
0:06 the moment he became sippin jimmy
Wow, I love the subtle detail of Gus wearing a yellow shirt, because a chicken's skin is slightly yellow, and they work in....a fried chicken restaurant! Such brilliant writing.
Definitely wondering if Gus put a guy on Jimmy to watch him until he was sure of Mike’s intentions.
It's interesting that, as far as I can remember, this is the ONLY time Jimmy/Saul and Gus ever interact in either show.
Sometimes you can meet most dangorous person and you don't even realise who that was!
Such a nice cheerful guy
Gus showing in front of Jimmy is like ghost coming from the dead!! This the fist time we see Gus alive since the explosion.
"Gus showing in front of Jimmy is like ghost coming from the dead!!" Ho- Howard? Howard! Howard, you need to leave.
Absolutely genius acting!!
What a nice man, i hope he keeps all of his face!
I like how the face that saul makes when drinking symbolyzes that coffee at los pollos hermanos is not very good.
He should have complained when Gus came to him at the trash bin.
"I... would choose my words... very carefully if I were you."
Thats cause Hector just pissed in the coffe machine
Jimmy being pretty obvious he's watching the guy.
There is phenomenal irony in gus running a chicken restaurant, byt actually being brave
The irony in that we take "chicken" to mean cowardly, but in reality chickens will fuck you up on-sight if you gave them a reason.

Iconic is too tame a word for this meeting of two of the best TV character creations of all time ….
I like this scene because Gus is subtly testing out Jimmy behind his friendly guise. He says ‘if it’s in here…’ which I think is a subtle implication/warning that he better not be lying, then when he finds it he realises Jimmy is a lot smarter than he looks (given how quickly he thought to actually drop his watch in there to have an excuse to be looking in a bin). Also when he offers to clean it in a friendly way (maybe to take it away to install a tracker?) and Jimmy politely refuses, he realises Jimmy is not a mug/too gullible. He managed to ascertain quite a bit about Jimmy’s character simply from being friendly with him.
A tracker in his wrist watch ? Man that would be one small device to go unnoticed ? I bet he keeps such things in his office at the resteraunt along with watch tools to dissaseble and hide tiny trackers in peoples watches 😂😂😂😂😂
I like how, they used the background noise of the restaurant, instead of using music, it made it feel like your were there...
No doubt borrowed from the restaurant scene in "The Godfather": no background music, until *after* Michael whacks Sollozzo and Capt McCluskey.
I always wonder, what the chances are in your everyday life, that a stranger you might meet who is excellent and gives off friendly vibes, can be a brilliant psychopath behind closed doors.
Love the camera work, with Gus out of focus during most of the scene. Then...."Can I help you?" Great scene!
such small details go a long way. Jimmy's quick reaction to throw the watch into the trash but more importantly, Gus never wanted to actually clean the watch, he wanted to see if it was broken. He already suspected something was up.
Even before. Him cleaning up is a signal to the delivery guy not to leave the bag of cash. Gus knows he's being watched.
You just don’t see customer service like that these days.
The sound in bb /bcs along with the detailed shots and world building is what does it for me. Its immersive.
Gus is interesting. He’s so solitary and confident. He keeps a good eye on his business by sweeping, cleaning and helping with customer service. I can’t help but wonder that since his background can’t be found prior to 1986 that he may have been on Pinochet’s elite “security” guys who disappear people and coherce agreements with the regime. So when Pinochet was ousted they gave him a new identity. Because he’s so able to rise above emotion and look simply for the yes/no answer. An answer that takes deep thinking when he has no time to think yet he stays cool and aloof. Like he’s such a finely trained special guard near the top all emotions have been wiped away. His guy feelings and intuition work exceptionally well for him.
Jimmy doesn't seem to find the Coffee acceptable...
Gus peed in it.
The fact that enough people have watched this in the first 12 hours to account for just over 10% of the channel’s subscribers (115k subs and 150k views) is astonishing to me…

The speed at which he popped off that watch from his wrist.
You think a watch just HAPPENS to fall like that?! NO! HE orchestrated it! JIMMY!

One of the best rewind moments ever
He threw away the restaurant's basket too. Was expecting Gus to find it and be like "how dare you" lol
He offered to clean his watch so he could check if the clasp was actually broken 👀
Can you imagine if Gus and Todd had a conversation not knowing who the other was?
It would just be two extremely polite people being polite lol
Imagine throwing Lalo in there without knowing either 😂 and maybe even mike or Walter
I think Gus noticed that Saul was monitoring the guy so he didn't approach the guy. The guy saw that Gus didn't approach him so he know something is not right so he just stood up and left.
No i think the guy sneakily left the product behind his foot near his bag and while gus was "sweeping" the floor he sweeped the product
I would say Gus cleaning up is a signal to the delivery guy not to leave the bag of cash. Gus knows he's being watched.
One of my favourite scenes. Jimmy's laser eyes on the random bag guy 👀 meanwhile Gus is stood right next to him 🧐
the suspense is perfect. what a return!
I’m really craving to see something from this canon again. While I’m aware of ‘7th season syndrome, it should be completely new with only brief tangential references to the original two series. It’s simply too good to leave in the perpetual dark.
im almost positive there will one day be some some future project with Jesse.
0:31 I absolutely LOVED that. Earlier while watching a previous episode I was wondering "will we meet Gus ?" and I was hoping they would shoot a scene where he is working in the background, just passing by, with his iconic yellow shirt, being so polite and upstanding. And of course we would ABSOLUTELY know who it would be at first sight. And guess what. They did it. And nailed it.
"It's been in worse places" xD like there's worse places than a trash can
Is this the only scene these 2 ever shared?
It’s crazy how many “role of a lifetime” one show brought to these actors…
I think that despite Gus's cold and ruthless tendencies, his kind/generous qualities are genuine.
...no they're not.
@BLACK.SABBATH I mean they could be. Look at the dinner the Gus invited Walt to when they started working together. Just a thought
He's a sociopath, any "nice" thing he does is just a charade and sometimes just used to manipulate people
