[Nacho sees Mike during his meeting with Gus, but pretends to not recognize him]
You're Michael? The gringo Lalo had a bug up his ass about? If Hector or the Cousins ever find out about this...
They're not gonna find out.
Lalo's using his CI connection. He's having Domingo call the DEA to rat out your dealers - times they're slinging, locations. Your guys are gonna get swept up.
[to Victor] Promote low-level dealers, or find new ones. Let them get arrested. Protect our people.
VictorYou got it.
He talks about a lot of things. Um... Hitting your supply trucks, going after your restaurants, getting your customers sick... Cutting off power, busting open pipes. He's gonna chip away at your business until the bosses down south don't think you're worth the trouble.
[pause; looks at Mike, who nods] From now on, you report to this man. He needs you, you do not hesitate. Act.
[Later, after Gus and Victor leave, Mike is about to get in his car before he notices Nacho walking up to him]
I'm guessing there's something you wanna get off your chest.
[pause] You know who you're working for, right? The shit that this guy does... They shot me. Left me bleeding out in the desert, all... part of some plan.
I don't know what to tell you. I warned you.
I warned you, when you started going after Hector Salamanca, there'd be others to worry about. You made a choice. You got in with both eyes open.
My father didn't. He's got a gun to my father's head. If I don't do what he says...
Look. First things first, we take care of Lalo. Then, we'll talk.
[Mike disarms Kim and forces her inside Gus' house before she can shoot. Gus watches Mike question her through surveillance monitors at his neighbors' residence.]
What are you doing?! I–I have to go! I have to—No, wait!
Ms. Wexler, I'd like you to sit down.
He'll–He'll kill him! You have to... You—
Now, sit there and be calm!
No, I have to get back! I have to get back!
[restrains Kim and forces her back down] Sit still... and stay calm. Now, if you take a deep breath—a deep breath—nothing's gonna happen here until you calm yourself. Alright? Now, who is killing who?
Lalo Salamanca! Lalo is going to kill Jimmy! [Mike looks shocked] He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now!
Salamanca is at your apartment?!
Yes! He sent me! He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me.
To do what exactly?! [pause; Kim hyperventilates] Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here?
[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus] Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! [Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys] He is alone with him!
Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We will handle this. [to Victor] You call Tyrus. Get him to the condo now.
You said you were watching us! WHERE WERE YOU?! HUH?! [Mike leaves] WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
[Kim tries to get up, but Victor stands in her way and forces her to sit down again]
Victor
You heard what the man said.
[Mike walks through the corridor connecting the two homes and reports to Gus.]
You heard all that? [Gus nods] Alright. You hunker down here. [to two bodyguards] You two, you stay with him. A dog barks too loud, you are on the phone with me. [to Arthur and Tyrus] You two, come with me.
[After growing restless over Lalo's whereabouts, Gus calls Victor and asks him to speak to Kim about Lalo]
Victor
Answer him. [points behind him]
[pause] He didn't want to send me. Not at first. He wanted to send my husband... but my husband talked him out of it because he wanted to get me out of there.
He... talked Lalo out of it?
That's right. [pause] Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who—
[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]
Come with me. Both of you.
