[Jimmy and Nacho watch Lalo do several victory laps after Jimmy gets Krazy-8 out of trouble with the DEA. Eventually, Lalo gets out of his car.]
WOO-HOO! You hear that?! I replaced the carburetor. She's running like a race horse, man!
It's a fine vehicle. That's a thing of beauty.
Yeah? What do you drive?
An Esteem.
A what?
A Suzuki Esteem. It's an import.
Huh. So?
So, just like you wanted. Assuming the dead drops are a real thing, the feds are gonna be on him.
Feds?
Yeah. DEA. There's a matched pair of them, and they're into this with a vengeance. I mean, think feeding time in the lion cage. And, um... they're gunning for arrests.
Okay.
[pause] Oh, and... your guy is now a confidential informant.
What do you mean? Like a rat?
No! He's not a rat, no! I mean–well, if he's a rat, he's your rat. So... Uh, put it this way. You now have a hotline to the DEA. And not just now–any time, so that's a good thing. Right? But the deal is, at some point, you might hear that Domingo is a snitch. You gotta know... he's not.
And what do you care?
Well, all due respect, you're paying me, but he's my client. I'd like to keep him alive.
[laughs; in Spanish] This dude. Good idea.
[as Lalo walks away] Oh, one more thing. You're gonna have to find a different attorney for future endeavors, 'cause my schedule is just very, very tight.
[pause] You'll make time.
[Lalo gets in his car and drives off]
[to Nacho] Who exactly did I just set up?!
You don't wanna know.
I mean, if there's gonna be blowback, I don't wanna be in the middle of it!
It's not about what you want. When you're in... you're in.
