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."

RIP Mark Margolis. No other actor could have provided us with such a great performance to this character.
Was in shock seeing the news 😔
Waduhh ☹️😢😢
Ding.
Rest in peace , Mark Margolis
@@marcschneider4432 Ding, indeed.
I love how Hector has a strong accent when speaking English, yet he can't speak proper Spanish either
Yyyeeeeah no
@@nestormelendez9005 uh yeaaaah
@@jenko1017 yyyeeeeah no
Every scene with hector speaking Spanish is like nails on a chalkboard to native speakers. Takes away from his character so much!!
@@anatapia9983 I literally don't care if his Spanish is not perfect, just Mexicans get offended for that
Hector is very lucky he was only wheel chair bound and paralyzed after his encounter with Lyle
Employee of the Year
Better dial Lyle
0:30 the exact moment when Hector became the ball inspector
lmao
What I was thinking
"ok" 😳
😂😂😂
Drops his pants and lifts his sac, "I thinks you'll find everything's in order" 🤣
I have no idea how Lyle kept his composure and patience and decided not to kill Hector on the spot. A very professional attitude indeed !
Lyle is up to pollos standards afterall.
@Tech cry about it
😭😭😭
@Tech alright, who tf called Lyles lawyer
Indeed, not many people can handle the ball inspector like Lyle did.
Hector really helped shape Gus into a more open-minded person and had a blast doing it!
😂😂😂
Wholesome content, I like very much!
that's one of them double aunt andre's
Wow
i think he actually turned his partner into an open minded person
Hector is among the only few characters who got old in a life of crime. Which, something Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul tell us, rarely happens. So whatever he must've done during his cartel days must've been some real gangsta stuff. And even in the end, he died having the last laugh, having his revenge.
He survived for 17 years in prison too. Considering how hot the competition must be, it's impressive that some rival cartel didn't try to get him shanked.
Hes by far my favorite character. Ive watched the "Salamanca Blood! Salamanca Moneyyy!!!!" Clip a thousand times lmao
I mean, no one said they didn't try to. Most likely they did multiple times. And yet here was hector...
@@yolomcswaggens9482 they didn't try to what

Rest in Peace Mark, you were one of the best actors to appear on both series, but we hardly ever gave you the recognition you deserved. Thank you for such a wonderful 13 years, Don Hector 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
la familia es todo, rest in peace mark
Did he die recently ? I didn’t even know
@@lcdany01532 days ago 😢
His performance in Scarface was good as well
He was introduced in such a great way. The most stressful episode in all of the show, and he’s just this weird sweaty old guy in a wheelchair who doesn’t speak. And then slowly through the episode, his intense face and the dinging bell become one of the tensest parts about it. God, I need to rewatch that episode
Ok
Grilled season 2 episode 2
Are they punking me, tio?
@@overlex *ding*
Just that episode? The entire season 😅
I love how he hated Walt as he thought he killed Tuco but changed his mind & partnered with him to kill his longtime enemy at the cost of his own life
It's not like he had anything else in his life. Gus pretty much orchestrated the death of his family members and took control of everything he helped build. He had nothing left to live for.
It was such a win-win deal for Hector.
@@irvinmorales1409 he orchestrated it? 😳 Couldn't be gus not our precious gus 😭
@@mark0183 HE orchestrated it! GUS!

The bell being rung on the diner counter to foreshadow Hector coming in to talk to Mike... pure genius
Never noticed, brilliant
@@luciddreama7864 and the problem is..?
@@xeroxs7313 Stolen honor is the problem. Taking something that probably got tons of likes elsewhere and representing it as an original thought. Lame.
@@TheSevenJr86 but if he didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have known. Should I wait till the “owner” of the comment to come and say it, or should I search for the original video where the comment is. It makes no sense to accuse the guy with stealing, he obviously didn’t mean to disrespect the original commenter, he is just repeating what he said.
@@xeroxs7313 spot on I am glad he mentioned it or I wouldn't have noticed either
The flashback with the twins might be more unsettling to me not because of the near drowning, but it ruled out my assumption that something was always wrong with them. Like that they were near mute sociopaths forever. Seeing them just be normal children is extra woof.
Children will always be children. Until sometime traumatic happens
I’m sure that Tuco and Lalo were also once normal kids before Hector taught them to be evil gangsters. Tuco’s meltdown about Gonzo betraying him hints at a pretty bad childhood.
@@capncake8837 Tuco definitely was. Lalo however... I don't think he was born evil, but I do think he was born different.
@@ecthox-1mork909 Probably, now that I think about it.
Honestly love how in that flashback the chair Hector is sitting in looks like a wheel chair in its design.

@@josephpapa0 r/woooooooosh
Lol. I didn't get it until i read the first comment. I see what you did there.
@@brdmann2012 it was also the conversation when Saul was tellin Walt about Hector. After Jesse told that Gus torments a guy in a nursing home
He had a frog and a cat as best friends years ago 😂
Small detail but I loved how nacho shook his head to let the mother and son out as he understands what it's like wanting protect someone innocent as he does his father
There was a pretty good understanding that you only messed with people “in the game”. Even when Hector walked in the back of Pollos, he gave Lyle a tiny bit respect instead of just mob bossing his way through
He let them leave because he knew that stopping them could have very easily resulted in a police raid.
It also shows that hector did this on the fly.. he's people weren't informed he was gonna do this
@@brek2569you need to rewatch the show, at least since Lalo was introduced because Lalo told Nacho how Hector killed a hotel worker and peed on his body just because. So he did hurt people who weren't in the game.
It's always fascinating to me that Mike always knew how to not overstep his boundaries. He sat down when Hector allowed it. Then he still put his way through with the 50k. A real pro "50.000, and the gon is yors"
KZhead subtitles, wrote... 50.000 and the God is yours!!! I literaly thought Hector was giving his blessing along with the money. Talk about misleading media...
@@CODINE80 Pope Hector blessed the sinner 🤣🤣🤣
Great observation
“50,000, ana gunn is yors”
I'm still in awe at Hector's generosity. $50,000 AND a free gun? He even offered for his nephews to babysit Kaylee. THAT'S a gentleman right there.
I love the way Gus corrected his tie, just few seconds before he died. What a gentleman.
The power of OCD
He won. He saw hector die before his eyes. His final victory
@@user-rf8pi7re1feye* and besides, he didn’t want Hector to die; he had wanted to watch Hector sit helpless in a cage (the home) for the rest of his days. He only was going to kill Hector because he believed he had ratted to them.
@@smallestofpps6974 he wanted hector to die last. Preferably before his eyes. He won but at a steep cost. This is a victory for Gus. That's why he adjusts his tie
@@user-rf8pi7re1f Hector got the last laugh tho
Notice at 8:36 mike and the twins reach for their side while the guy in the back reaches for his waist to get their guns, in breaking bad Lawson mentions to Walter that you don’t wanna cross-draw unless you’re sitting down. Cool attention to show the twins and mike’s experience with guns whilst the other guy is just a hired hand.
damn that is some good attention to detail
The twins always cross-draw
Bravo Vince Bravo Mike
@@imyellowteeth4691 There is no secret detail, the cousins must crossdraw whether they are standing or sitting since they use shoulder holsters.
@@venz8201 exactly. People thinking too much into it
Breaking Bad: “man Hector has it rough, I can’t believe they could do all that to an old man, he probably has his flaws but he doesn’t deserve all this” Better Call Saul: “I think Gus went easy on him honestly”
What I wonder is how the cartel and Salamancas let Gus handle Hector's treatment. Surely they must've known that he would do some shady stuff.
@@spacemann1425 I guess the other higher ups didn't care about Hector that much now that he's in a wheelchair and saw him as a burden?
@@scottvelez3154 highly unlikely. For The Salamancas, at least, La Familia Es Todo. Maybe it's something I'm missing in BCS. Some details. Maybe since Hector was being treated up North, it allowed Gus to manipulate his treatment.
@@spacemann1425 the point is that the Salamancas started losing their respect in the cartel Don Eladio didn't care about them and straight up mocked Hector when he tried to warn them about Gus The Salamancas built the cartel and the members still didn't respect them
@@isaacpianos5208 again, I don't think that's true. The Salamancas were the cartel. Eladio liked Lalo a lot. They had a ton of power. Eladio spared Gus because there was no evidence. Bolsa usually liked to maintain peace. I don't think him "mocking" Hector meant a lot. Probably a common thing for them. Either way, my point is, them aside, The Salamancas definitely could've or should've intervened.
"How you manage to live so long with a mouth like that?" Almost as if Hector is asking another grizzled old veteran why he's still around, knowing full well he's got a similar directness. I think in a way, Hector confirmed his respect for Mike here. A player in the same game as him, but in a different position.
Rest in piece to Hector Salamanca. He was a hard worker who always respected his bosses, he was honest and respectful, and a very well tempered man, aslo, he was great with kids and raised 4 of his nephews into very calm headed and friendly, normal men.
5 nephews
@@AlexanderMontoya-td2gc 4. Cope. You have nothing here pseudo.
@@Viktorreznov1942 Joaquin
@thatguyap_ Joaquin was his grandson. How can so many clueless idiots exist.
I would describe him like Walter described Tuco: insane, degenerate piece of filth.
“Da boss can sock me” 😎 “Fifdi tausand on de gon is yours” ✌🏻 This is legendary 🤩👍🏻
Lmao
Salamanca vocabulary
every moment of Hector is the best for us but the worst for anyone who has interacted with him or knows him on a personal level
9:59 I realized Hector's future is foreshadowed on he chair he's sitting on, really cool
sooo so cool
When you look at it, Hector vs Gus is a Mom and Pop business vs a corporation Hector does things his way, his family way, folds his money his way, does business his way But when Gus shows up, when Gus starts performing, everything is business, quick, tight, neat, clean, untraceable And Hector can’t compete, Lalo barely can
Well we don't know the details about how the cartel worked and it didn't work in just the business of transportation like Gus did.
RIP Don Hector 🙏🏻 Incredible performance in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, he cemented himself in history.
Hector respected Mike a lot more than he respected Gus
To be fair, Hector thought he had subdued Gus to the point where he would do nothing. That and he never liked Gus. Hector is just a mean old man.
Hector was, from start to finish, a thug who rose too high in the ranks. He was not a master player. He was a man of brute force. The fact that he survived as long as he did is incredible.
What show did you watch lol? Hector was pretty cunning when it came down to it. It was Hector who told Lalo to go after Gus's money, to make him worthless in Eladios eyes (which almost worked). It was Hector who told Lalo that he needed proof if he wanted Gus dead, when Lalo was ready to just kill Gus (which wouldve turned him into a traitor in Eladios eyes). It was Hector who always had the thought that Gus was still out for revenge.
He's come a long way from being the "worm" hitman from Scarface to the terrifying Don of a Mexican of Cartel.
or the old math nerd from PI lol
2:07 The exact moment I became Nacho's fan 😇
same, i love the bits of humanity that Nacho shows earlier in the series, shows he's nowhere near as messed up as the Salamancas
Also why is that guy blocking the costumers, does he wanna alert the police lmao
To me he’s the most human out of most of the characters
Old post but the reason for keeping everyone put is because anyone could technically be working for fring and want to alert of him of the situation to better prepare for it. Secondly it's intimidating customers which is terrible for business and no one normal is going to eat where they feel is dangerous. So it's two parts security for their boss and to ruin Gus's family friendly image to hamper his business
Mike walking into the Lions Den asking Hector for 50k is the same as Walt's arc when he blew up Tucos crib.
RIP to this absolute legend. One of the best characters in the breaking bad universe, we'll all miss you
Ill never get over how badass it is when Gus dies, Hector refusing to look at him then when he goes to give him the injection Hector looks at him in a “I’m just an old man please” kinda way which quickly turns to “check .. mate” with an evil grin before furiously pounding the bell with his finger setting off the bomb he’s sat on, and Gus realising last minute but its too late. Such a masterpiece this whole series is.
I interpreted the first look as pure bliss and happiness as he knows gus will be dead within seconds and he avenged his family
@@AY-qy4jn i think it's more anger, also the man hated gus enough to call him the n word with the bell in morse code
I love how the brother at 1:20 red the situation immediatly and dipped from the scene.
Same. Very astute of him. Caught on very quick.
This is why Lalo was so threatening.... Hector was an old school gangster with his goons surrounding the perimeter... The twins were sat silently looking like gangsters... Either of these talk situations could've gotten Gus cover Lalo on the other hand was a customer eating enjoying the food complimenting it, wanting to invest.... He kept Gus cover which was fast more dangerous imo!
It’s a health code violation! (Hector quickly extinguishes the cigar and apologizes profusely)
If you listen to Mark Margolis' interviews and how good his English is you realize how convincing he was as Héctor when he put that accent to make himself sound like he is from Mexico, and how good he was when he played him in the wheelchair. Great actor.
He’s a Jew from Philadelphia. English is his native language.
Mark Margolis is awesome…he plays Hector perfectly!
@@capncake8837 lmao right haha!? This dude sounds so stupid how did he not realise he's a native English speaker its clear as day..
@@kuznickic1 Was... R.I.P. Mark

“🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎” - Hector Salamanca, 2008.
That day is 15th July 2009
Every single character was just excellently developed. Can't wait for what Vince Gilligan has in store for us next.
Im pretty sure he says that he no longer has any plans for the BBABCS universe
@@TigreDientesDesable663man that sucks. I would have loved to see a Salamanca side story showing how they got to be in the position they were in, with all the cousins appearing and working together since we never see them together at all in BB or BCS, especially a Lalo interaction with Tuco, that would be wild lol
@@kingdoge69 yeah man, that sucks. I would love to see that too
During an interview when he was asked about this, his response was “never say never”. He’s not against the idea of creating more BrBa content but he also expressed how he doesn’t want to be a one-trick pony. I mean hell, he’s making another show unrelated to Breaking Bad. A sci-fi one.
@@sp7318 whats it called
“I don care about the gon” -Don Hector
So nice of Hector to step aside when Lyle reminded him that there are other customers waiting to order. He clearly cares about people getting their lunchtime meals in.
To make Gus lose composure, let alone scream, has been done only by Hector Salamanca - when he killed Max and when he killed him
Lalo also had Gus on edge and nervous.
I'm still wondering why they made Hector name drop Boss Consogme if he didnt even make an appearance in the series
Consogme is probably even more powerful than Eladio.
@@spacemann6179 oh yeah for sure. I was defo looking forward to a showdown between Consogme and Lyle tho :((
got me howling at my cubicle man loool
@@rishav3793 glad i could give you a laugh ahaha
They gotta make a Salamanca family side story and show all the higher ups that the Salamancas work for as well and how Hector started business with them
R.I.P Mark & Hector we will never again have a great show like this😢🙏🏻
Mark Margolis played Hector so incredibly well. He was able to portray such powerful emotions with only his face. Well done
I wanted to watch this video again after the news. RIP Mark, we owe you a legendary character.

Nacho : No wire , but he got the gun ! Hector : I don't care about GOON 😂
Hector : .....and the Gonn is yours🤣🤣
Who else came back to rewatch it? Rest in Peace legend 😢
RIP Mark Margolis. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul wouldn't be the same without your contributions.
May you rest in peace Mark Margolis. Hector was almost two different characters in BCS and BB but was played to perfection by him.
Lyle getting patted like that I think is the greatest sign of respect Hector has ever given to anyone.
Rest in piece hector, one of the best characters in the world!
1:43 hector pointing at the sign is absolutely hilarious
4:45 the way Nachos watching him thinking "Yes, die. Please finally die."
