Wrong. He tells him not to get up referencing the scene where Marie gives Hank an erection after his injury, which Gus watched through a spy cam. Gus is subtly threatening that Hank will not be able to get an erection ("get up") after Gustavo is done with him.
Yeah but I find it unrealistic that the cartels would go after a DEA agent, especially in a parking lot, or at all. In reality, after Kiki Camarena and what happened after, cartels stayed away from DEA hits.

I'm a chilean too and that's BS, if you research, you will find records of that period of time.

Also child is now a democratic country do he can't play the "not wanting to draw attention" card. While just syating that his records are lost is unprovable either way do you have to take his word for it. Perfect lie.
I’ve always loved how this one moment gus was like “Oh fuck.” In front of feds no less lol. But says a lot about how powerful gus was that he was able to get his records completely destroyed and was able to just live as a fucking ghost across several countries building up this massive unstoppable empire. Or I guess…unstoppable until you get a dangerous chemist and put his back against the wall. Then your empire is very stoppable lol.

They never reveal who he was before. When his lover got killed by Hector Salamanca, Don Eladio says “ the only reason he’s dead and you’re alive is because I know who you are” They never explained his past
@@mranderson718 given his German connections, his perfectionism, his veneer of politeness over his terrible cruelty, my theory is his parents were nazi party members who fled to Latin America to avoid prosecution for war crimes. Gustaf Fring is about as German a name as you could think of.
@@mranderson718 Yeah, that was Hector. He derided Gus as "Big man, big generalissimo. Big fry cook more like it! ....never trust south-americans. Dirty, dirty people." There are some implications that Vince Gilligan intended to explore Gus's past, but never went there. There are still hints here and there, like year 1986 mentioned and in Better Caul Saul, Lalo tells Bolsa that something happened in Santiago involving Gus. Turns out that year there was indeed "something" happening in Santiago that year, alright. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Augusto_Pinochet
True, he isn't lying about Pinochet's Chile being abusive and unaccountable, idk anything about their record keeping but certainly feels like a plausible explanation
They could/should definitely do a prequel with the actor who played Mr. Edgar's (Giancarlo's character) younger self in _The Boys_ . Aside from the resemblance, that guy nailed the intimidation and essence of Esposito to the core.
That's what I was hoping to see in Better Call Saul once he returned. I genuinely adore BCS but the character of Gus was sadly disappointing, I don't feel like we learned anything new about him at any point :/
I dont think so. Gus was gay. Being gay in Pinochet's govt at the time was pretty much close to being a communist. And you know how they ended up. .... A prequel series about Fring in Chile would be intense as shit.....
@@ralphmarx7554It's implied heavily (I think Hank even says it in part of this scene) that Gus *DID* work in Pinochet's intelligence services/death squads, despite his (closeted) homosexuality and his color. It'd be just as much a death sentence among the Mexican narcotraficantes and I think it was for his lover, yet even though it's an open secret they still say he was too important to kill, yet not too important to threaten. Everyone throws around theories, but I'm guessing the backstory includes something from his German ancestry, like maybe his father's position, combined with his skills and own history protected him
@@rizzall509 How about a parallel storyline describing their journeys to the explosive culmination. We could see Gus get screwed by a horrendous restaurant franchise contract that compels him to break bad. The poverty striken Salamanca's, after being abused by government and criminal actors, grow into a crime syndicate family to not only survive, but to thrive in the criminal environment thrust upon them?
Güstav Von Frei, son of a wanted ss officer with a Afro Chilean from San Thiago, he was a executioner for General Pinochët at in his 20s, would be a very interesting start for a villan.
That smile along with saying, “I’m sure if you keep digging you’ll find me” is so chilling. Basically saying if you keep trying to dig into my past I promise you will find out just who I am……and you won’t like what you find.
I think what really makes Gus a brilliant character is the amount of interpretation you need in order to understand his menace. You know that he's evil and psychopathic, but to what extent is rarely shown to its full degree. He doesn't need to be outright dangerous or hostile in order to be scary. Instead you see him calculating under the surface, plotting a move so far ahead that you can hardly predict when or how it's going to come out. His calm demeanor keeps you under a tension because you know there's more going on beneath the surface, that under the veneer of politeness and good manners is a vicious killer and someone who is genuinely disgusted with the vast majority of people he meets, yet he always composes himself as an upstanding man with intelligence and social graces. It isn't until he no longer has a use for you that what he's hiding beneath the surface emerges, and it's the fact that he can swap so effortlessly between deranged murderer and mild-mannered businessman which creates the tension of when his Mr. Hyde is going to emerge from his Dr. Jekyll.

“Don’t stand up” the disrespect in formal business and personal relationship from one sentence is insane
I REALLY wish we got to find out what Gus’s real name was. I bet his history in Chile was nuts.
I'm sure Gus has grown in a hard life 😂
@@frsrs9189 What's so funny??
its funny cuz gus makes him hard@Onigirli
Man must've been an absolute monster.
It touches on it in BCS, briefly but interestingly
He should have played the "I changed my name to escape a dictator, please do not draw the attention of his loyalists to me" card.
That would have worked, but it would mean he has to disclose his former identity.
Also child is now a democratic country do he can't play the "not wanting to draw attention" card. While just syating that his records are lost is unprovable either way do you have to take his word for it. Perfect lie.
@@thomasfevre9515 True.
@@thomasfevre9515 just because the country is now ran by a democracy, doesn't mean there aren't dictators loyalists hidden out in the government.
Not necessarily, just because the old regime is gone doesn’t mean there isn’t still individuals out there who wouldn’t seek revenge
Bro pulled a columbo "one other thing" 💀
Love that show
Officers like Hank don’t care about anyone except themselves
That smile when he says ‘if you keep digging you’ll find me’, the most sinister look Ive ever seen
Gus metronomically tapping his fingers while containing his rage in the elevator after this meeting will always stand out to me
After this, Gus decided to take his business to a galaxy far far away.
Underrated comment. Seems to be going over most people's heads.
“Secrets are my stock and trade”
I love that he doesnt lie, he answers the question with a question. Smart af.
Hank was so close to Lalo and Walter which is the only two people who checkmated Gus.
You’ve just reworded one of the top comments you dirty little scrub
When was Hank close to Lalo
@@ayushbajaj4708 I think he means like close to catching him slipping
Ding... Ding... Ding
Nah, Lalo and Hank had Gus in Check. Heisenberg had Gus in Checkmate.
Hank wasn’t looking for a answer when he asked Gus the question, he was looking for a reaction, and to rattle him.
its so nice that hank is interested in gus’s life on a professional level with no ulterior motives
This is the moment Gus decided Hank needed to die.
To be fair to gus, Chile during a dictatorship, burned a lot of documents during the regime change/collapse.
Why? " They did nothing wrong! " Pinochet was like Zelensky- purer than the first December snow.
Gus: My real name is actually Stanley Edgar Gustavo Gideon Fring
Gustavo playing 3D chess while DEA playing checkers
I’ve always loved how this one moment gus was like “Oh fuck.” In front of feds no less lol. But says a lot about how powerful gus was that he was able to get his records completely destroyed and was able to just live as a fucking ghost across several countries building up this massive unstoppable empire.
Or I guess…unstoppable until you get a dangerous chemist and put his back against the wall. Then your empire is very stoppable lol.
It's called the cia lol nd money end at government ppl facts 🤣. The wire tells u this also well shows u if u follow the cops work nd bell that's all u need kn to find out
@@peacelove1066 try English next time
They never reveal who he was before.
When his lover got killed by Hector Salamanca, Don Eladio says “ the only reason he’s dead and you’re alive is because I know who you are”
They never explained his past
Someone jokingly calls him generalissimo. So I’m guessing he was someone high ranking in Pinochet’s government or the Chilean underworld.
@@mranderson718 given his German connections, his perfectionism, his veneer of politeness over his terrible cruelty, my theory is his parents were nazi party members who fled to Latin America to avoid prosecution for war crimes. Gustaf Fring is about as German a name as you could think of.
@@mranderson718 Yeah, that was Hector. He derided Gus as "Big man, big generalissimo. Big fry cook more like it! ....never trust south-americans. Dirty, dirty people."
There are some implications that Vince Gilligan intended to explore Gus's past, but never went there. There are still hints here and there, like year 1986 mentioned and in Better Caul Saul, Lalo tells Bolsa that something happened in Santiago involving Gus.
Turns out that year there was indeed "something" happening in Santiago that year, alright. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Augusto_Pinochet
@@Mantorok12 probably not both parents, his RGB doesn't exactly scream "Bavarian heritage"
@@diggernick901 fair, but that's not extraordinary either
Gus’ front facing kindness has made me wary of so many people who act the same.
I love when Hank got all Columbo, "just...one last thing. Whats his fingerprint doing in a murder victims apartment?"
In fairness it’s entirely possible that they actually did just lose his birth certificate 😂
Good thing now they are issued online. how are the new ones in america?
True, he isn't lying about Pinochet's Chile being abusive and unaccountable, idk anything about their record keeping but certainly feels like a plausible explanation
No blacks in Chile
True. Crossing the Darien Gap isn't exactly conducive to the preservation of identification documents
@@KanBigsure there are
Gus is my favorite character. I wrote a book with him as the main character, I called him Janusz there. The book is called "You had three questions"
They really need a prequel on Gus’s back story in Chilie, but I don’t think anyone can play Gus like Giancarlo Esposito.
They could/should definitely do a prequel with the actor who played Mr. Edgar's (Giancarlo's character) younger self in _The Boys_ . Aside from the resemblance, that guy nailed the intimidation and essence of Esposito to the core.
Don’t fuss with gus
Honestly I preferred Gus' character portrayal in seasons 2 & 3 of BB. I think it got a bit silly in 4.
That would be just breaking bad 2
Walt and Gus are very similar
That's what I was hoping to see in Better Call Saul once he returned. I genuinely adore BCS but the character of Gus was sadly disappointing, I don't feel like we learned anything new about him at any point :/
It's respectable to shake hands when both stood up, telling hank to sit down before shaking his hand was a sly level of disrespect
No it wasn't. It's actually the opposite. Shaking someone's hand while sitting down is very disrespectful. Fring is the one that got disrespected.
Hank was crippled.
Hank: “If you’re Chilean, name 10 minerals found in Chile.”
Gus could always clutch so smoothly
That's when he hits up Mike, to research if there is any information/records out there about General Gus Fring from Chile.
I dont think so. Gus was gay. Being gay in Pinochet's govt at the time was pretty much close to being a communist. And you know how they ended up. .... A prequel series about Fring in Chile would be intense as shit.....
@@ralphmarx7554It's implied heavily (I think Hank even says it in part of this scene) that Gus *DID* work in Pinochet's intelligence services/death squads, despite his (closeted) homosexuality and his color. It'd be just as much a death sentence among the Mexican narcotraficantes and I think it was for his lover, yet even though it's an open secret they still say he was too important to kill, yet not too important to threaten. Everyone throws around theories, but I'm guessing the backstory includes something from his German ancestry, like maybe his father's position, combined with his skills and own history protected him
@@ralphmarx7554 it isn't even confirmed that gus was gay max could have just been a close friend
@@Heisenberg4188 he's gay according to few scenes in BCS
That man legit looked at Hank like "holy shit you of all people"
The emotion he draws out is so genuine, it's really believable that Hank's question seems like nonsense to him
Great actor and great character
That calm, collected demeanor of Gus is worth millions!
They should make Gus Fring prequel with same young actor who played young Stan in The Boys
Nah, the story of salamanca family would be better
@@rizzall509 How about a parallel storyline describing their journeys to the explosive culmination. We could see Gus get screwed by a horrendous restaurant franchise contract that compels him to break bad. The poverty striken Salamanca's, after being abused by government and criminal actors, grow into a crime syndicate family to not only survive, but to thrive in the criminal environment thrust upon them?
@@oldsguy354 gus is a war criminal or something like it im sure of it
They shouldn't make anything else related to this universe
Güstav Von Frei, son of a wanted ss officer with a Afro Chilean from San Thiago, he was a executioner for General Pinochët at in his 20s, would be a very interesting start for a villan.
That smile along with saying, “I’m sure if you keep digging you’ll find me” is so chilling. Basically saying if you keep trying to dig into my past I promise you will find out just who I am……and you won’t like what you find.
love that in the full scene he was all like "what i need a lawyer for"
Hank Schrader is the best character. He and Mike are the moral compass to two different sides.
I do love that moment after “is Gustavo Fring your real name?” One of the few moments where he seems genuinely surprised.
"I'm sure if you keep digging, you will find me!" Gus's way of saying, "F*ck Around and Find Out!"
I wish this little plot point would’ve been expanded upon in either BB or BCS. I found it really intriguing and it just never paid off
“I bet you used to that, back in the day when you was alive” 😂
Hanks intuition and commitment to do absolutely nothing about it, is unparalleled.
He seems like a nice guy.
Friendly smile too.
I think what really makes Gus a brilliant character is the amount of interpretation you need in order to understand his menace. You know that he's evil and psychopathic, but to what extent is rarely shown to its full degree. He doesn't need to be outright dangerous or hostile in order to be scary. Instead you see him calculating under the surface, plotting a move so far ahead that you can hardly predict when or how it's going to come out. His calm demeanor keeps you under a tension because you know there's more going on beneath the surface, that under the veneer of politeness and good manners is a vicious killer and someone who is genuinely disgusted with the vast majority of people he meets, yet he always composes himself as an upstanding man with intelligence and social graces. It isn't until he no longer has a use for you that what he's hiding beneath the surface emerges, and it's the fact that he can swap so effortlessly between deranged murderer and mild-mannered businessman which creates the tension of when his Mr. Hyde is going to emerge from his Dr. Jekyll.
No one i mean no one can come up with an answer so fast that's quick brilliance
Dean Norris's portrayal of Hank Schrader is just bad ass...kinda of becoming a lil underrated
That was uncalled for, Gus treated everyone at that department with kindness and respect.
😊 This was a great part in that show because Hank was almost there in discovering Gus
