What did Nacho do with the Hummer?

Main story – Before a meeting between Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill, and D&M, Kim rearranges name placards so that she and Jimmy sit side by side. On a break, she gives him a travel mug that originally read “World’s Best Lawyer”, which she altered to “World’s 2nd Best Lawyer”.

• At the nail salon Jimmy receives his new Mercedes-Benz company car, and is frustrated that his mug does not fit in the cup holder like it did in his old car.
• At the courthouse, Mike Ehrmantraut sees Daniel Wormald arrive.
• He tells Mike about the burglary at his house and Mike cautions him about talking to the police, but Daniel is adamant about getting his baseball cards back.

To prevent Daniel from meeting with the police, Mike offers to find the cards. Nacho Varga refuses to return them so Mike threatens to inform Tuco Salamanca about Nacho’s secret drug deals. They agree that Daniel and Nacho will trade Daniel’s Hummer for the baseball cards and $10,000.

• Chuck sits in during an HHM–D&M meeting.
• Jimmy is hesitant to discuss Sandpiper client outreach but continues after silent encouragement from Kim.
• Mike asks him to represent Daniel when Daniel meets with the police.
• Daniel tells detectives his baseball cards were returned so there is no need for further investigation, but they are skeptical.

Jimmy talks to them privately and fabricates a story about a failed gay love affair and the stealing of the baseball cards as revenge. To provide an explanation for Daniel’s hiding place, Jimmy claims it contained videos of Daniel sitting on various types of pies, a fictitious fetish called “Hoboken squat cobbler”.

The detectives believe him and end their investigation. That night, Jimmy tells Kim about Daniel’s case, including fabricating the videos, Kim is appalled that Jimmy resorted to an underhanded scheme. Jimmy counters by asking why she was willing to play along with tricking Ken. She says that con had nothing to do with work.

She asks why Jimmy was willing to falsify evidence to exonerate a client, and he is unable to provide a satisfactory answer.

Is Daniel Wormald in Breaking Bad?

Daniel Wormald Is Breaking Bad’s “Danny” – AMC Schnauz confirmed that the “Danny” in the phone call mentioned in “Breaking Bad” was indeed the squat cobbler himself, but there’s more to this story. Not only is Mr. Wormald the “Danny” mentioned in the newest Better Call Saul, he’s also the very same “Danny” that was previously mentioned by Saul Goodman multiple times in Breaking Bad,

1. According to Saul, his friend Danny was the owner of a laser tag business that could be used as a front for money laundering.
2. As explained by Schnauz, giving the “Pryce” character the real name of Daniel Wormald was no coincidence, as the plan was for him to be revealed as the “Danny” mentioned by Saul in Breaking Bad,

While the opportunity didn’t arise for Daniel/Danny’s connection to Lazer Base to be revealed on-screen, Schnauz still considers this link between the two shows to be canon. This will just be something to think about for fans who go back and rewatch Breaking Bad after finishing up Better Call Saul,

“I’m glad you connected Danny to Daniel Wormald. It was always a dream of mine to bring back Mark Proksch as Danny, to be the Danny for laser tag business, So this was just my way of hinting at something. The reason I named him Daniel way back when was because I was hoping that some plot would unfold, allowing us to bring him back as the Danny of the laser tag, but it just didn’t work out.

So this is my nod to that. It does exist in the world; we just didn’t get to see it.” It’s not clear if Daniel Wormald is in legal trouble due to his involvement with the laser tag business, but Francesca did say that it was seized after Saul went on the run.

• However, she did say the police had really only been looking for Saul and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) after the death of Walter White (Bryan Cranston).
• Francesca also revealed that Huell had returned back home to Louisiana after he was unlawfully detained, so there’s another fan favorite who was given a rare happy ending.

There are two episodes left of Better Call Saul and they arrive Mondays on AMC and AMC+.

Did Nacho Varga get away?

Season 6 – Nacho flees Lalo’s compound and takes refuge in a motel arranged for by Gus. He calls Tyrus, who tells him to hide until it is safe to move. Nacho then attempts to reach Mike, who declines to take the call. Juan informs Gus that the cartel has placed a bounty on Nacho.

1. Gus’s men break into Nacho’s safe and Mike removes the cash and Nacho and Manuel’s fake Canadian IDs.
2. Victor delivers a duplicate safe, into which Mike places the cash, Nacho’s fake ID, and an envelope.
3. Juan finds the envelope, which contains the motel’s phone number and details of an offshore bank account.

Nacho realizes he is being surveilled, meaning Gus has betrayed him to the cartel. The Cousins search the motel but Nacho escapes. Mike has a standoff with Gus and Tyrus because Mike wants to lead a team to find Nacho but Gus wants to force Nacho to reveal himself by taking Manuel hostage.

1. Nacho calls Manuel on the phone for the last time.
2. Manuel, being unaware of Nacho’s situation, merely thinks that Nacho is finally ready to go to the police over his crimes, not knowing that he is actually saying goodbye forever.
3. Nacho then surrenders to Gus in exchange for assurances that Manuel will not be harmed.

Gus, Tyrus, and Victor hand Nacho over to Juan, Hector, and the Cousins as Mike watches and trains his rifle on them. Nacho falsely claims Gus had no involvement in the attack on Lalo and reveals that he tried to kill Hector by switching his pills for placebos, but that Gus saved him.

• Rather than pretend to flee as planned so that Victor can kill him quickly, Nacho uses a piece of broken glass to free himself from his zip tie, seize Juan’s gun, and kill himself.
• The Cousins then assist Hector to fire bullets into Nacho’s lifeless body.
• Later when Lalo confronts Jimmy and Kim Wexler in their apartment, Lalo ties Jimmy up and asks him if he had any involvement with the attack on his house due to his prior connections to Nacho.

A distressed Jimmy completely shifts the blame to Nacho, before being gagged by Lalo who promises to return to interrogate further. After Lalo’s murder by Gus, Mike approaches Manuel about the fate of Nacho, and says the Salamancas will no longer target him and they will meet “justice”.

Is Mijo Tuco Salamanca?

Vince Gilligan has confirmed that the desert in which Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) negotiates with Tuco (Raymond Cruz) is the same spot where Walter White (Bryan Cranston) gives his “Say My Name” speech. Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz) is seen looking after his grandmother; in Breaking Bad (2008) he was seen looking after his uncle.

• In both episodes, he is shown preparing food for the relative he’s tending.
• When Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) is caught looking at himself in the bathroom mirror saying, “It’s showtime!” he insists, “Hey, it’s in a movie!” He is referring to Bob Fosse’s film All That Jazz (1979).
• This episode marks the earliest chronological appearance of Gonzo (Jesus Jr.) and No-Doze (Cesar Garcia), who first appeared in Breaking Bad (2008).

This episode has large implications for Breaking Bad (2008), for instance in Saul’s introductory episode, Saul (Bob Odenkirk) is freaking out during Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul)’s attempt to intimidate him. What at first seems like Saul simply fearing for his life is actually now Jimmy afraid that Tuco (Raymond Cruz)’s men have decided to finally kill him.

• He says that whatever they think he did, Ignacio was the real culprit.
• Ignacio” is Nacho Varga (Michael Mando)’s real name.
• A couple of homages to spaghetti-westerns.
• The wild character Tuco is named after the equally-unhinged Tuco from “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” The piano in the soundtrack near the end in the desert is reminiscent of Ennio Morricone’s music.

This episode covers the period May 25-June 15, 2002 (three weeks). The number Nacho gives Jimmy, (505) 242-6087 is an actual number you can call that will go straight to Nacho’s voicemail. In the opening teaser, Tuco (Raymond Cruz) is seen cooking dinner.

• This is a reference to how Tuco cooked burritos for his uncle Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis), Walt (Bryan Cranston), and Jesse (Aaron Paul).
• The English audio description on Netflix calls Tuco “Mijo” all throughout his onscreen appearance in the episode.
• It’s not until “Gloves Off” when it refers to him by name.

This episode marks the first appearance of Nacho Varga (Michael Mando). This is the second part of the two-episode premiere. The first episode aired on February 8, 2015 and this episode aired on February 9, 2015. The gun Tuco (Raymond Cruz) holds on Saul (Bob Odenkirk) is a Taurus Raging Judge.

• This episode refers to Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz): his grandmother calls him “Mijo,” which means “my son.” Miriam Colon, who plays Tuco (Raymond Cruz)’s grandmother, is also known for her portrayal of the mother of Tony and Gina Montana in the 1980s crime drama Scarface (1983).
• She shares this connection to Scarface with Steven Bauer, who portrayed Don Eladio in season 4 of Breaking Bad (2008).

MIriam Colon not only worked with Al Pacino as his mother in Scarface, she acted with another actor from The Godfather, Marlon Brando, in two Westerns during the 1960s (although one was filmed in the 1950s). Brando and Pacino were the father and son title characters in the first two Godfather films.

• Featured Music: “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Juan Garcia Esquivel “Concerto in G for Strings ‘Alla Rustica’ 1.
• Presto” by Antonio Vivaldi (version created for Better Call Saul) “Quando Sei Vicino a Te” by Stéphane Huguenin, Yves Sanna & Christian Padovan “Everybody Ciao” by Daniele Benati & Fernando Paterlini “One Leg Each” by Dave Porter “Sex Robot Voice” by Dave Porter Contains an Easter-egg reference to a key character coming later in the season.

Each of Tuco’s gang wears varying amounts of red and blue in the desert: Tuco wears a pink shirt with red lining, a blue pattern and jeans; Gonzo wears a blue-gray shirt, jeans and a red hoodie; No-Doze wears a blue shirt and blue shorts; and Nacho wears a blue shirt and a red T-Shirt.

Why is Saul called Jimmy?

Biography – Jimmy is of Irish descent and was born on November 12, 1960, in Cicero, Illinois, outside Chicago. His older brother Chuck became a successful lawyer as one of the partners at an Albuquerque law firm, Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill (HHM). As a child, Jimmy worked at his parents’ corner store in Cicero, and watched as customers took advantage of his weak, naive father, Charles, Sr.; Jimmy soon began stealing money from the store himself.

According to Chuck, Jimmy embezzled $14,000 from his family’s store, leading to his father’s bankruptcy. His father died six months later; Jimmy cried inconsolably at the funeral. Determined not to be like his father, Jimmy becomes a con artist and earns the nickname “Slippin’ Jimmy” for staging ” slip and fall ” accidents.

He also ran petty scams including the “fake Rolex” with the help of his partner-in-crime Marco Pasternak, Jimmy begins to use the alias “Saul Goodman”, a play on the phrase “It’s all good, man”. He initially uses it as a fake name when performing his scams with Marco.

Later, he uses the alternate identity for the high-energy pitchman in television ads he produces, and makes use of it when he begins a business reselling prepaid cell phones on the street. At some point prior to the start of Better Call Saul, Jimmy had been married and divorced twice. One of his ex-wives cheated on him with a man named Chet.

Jimmy ran into trouble when he drunkenly defecated through the sunroof of Chet’s car, an act known as a “Chicago Sunroof”. Unbeknownst to him, the man’s children were inside. Arrested and facing the possibility of having to register as a sex offender, Jimmy asked Chuck for help, despite a five-year separation from his family.

Chuck successfully defended him but required that he move to Albuquerque and work a legitimate job in HHM’s mail room. While working in the HHM mail room, Jimmy befriended Kim Wexler, an HHM employee attending the University of New Mexico School of Law at the firm’s behest. Over time, their friendship turned romantic.

Inspired by her success and Chuck’s career, Jimmy resumed his education, completing his undergraduate degree and then a J.D. from the University of American Samoa’s correspondence law school. He passed the bar exam hoping to be hired at HHM, but without Jimmy’s knowledge, Chuck compelled senior partner Howard Hamlin to deny Jimmy the opportunity.

Jimmy then began a solo practice as a lawyer, working out of the utility room of a Vietnamese nail salon at a strip mall. During this period, he took whatever cases he could get, including low-paying public defender work. Some years later, near the time of his divorce with Rebecca, Chuck develops a psychosomatic aversion to electricity and becomes semi-reclusive.

Jimmy cares for Chuck, bringing him groceries and running his errands. However, Jimmy still struggles with finances, and at the start of the show drives a signature Suzuki Esteem with mismatched doors, a visual pun reflecting on Jimmy’s current poor self-esteem.

Why did they shoot Nacho Varga?

‘Better Call Saul’ Star Michael Mando Explains Nacho’s and Oil Baptism SPOILER ALERT : Do not read if you have not watched the third episode of “” Season 6, titled “Rock and Hard Place.” Like the title of Monday night’s episode says, Nacho Varga () found himself between a rock and a hard place — Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) — and he paid the ultimate price.

As one of the major “Better Call Saul” characters who doesn’t appear in “,” fans have been wondering where Nacho would end up, and they finally have an answer. After playing the double agent for Gus against the Salamancas and aiding in the botched assassination of Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), Nacho was ready to meet a violent end at the hands of the Salamanca cartel, but instead he turned his gun on himself.

However, Nacho didn’t go down without a fight. He narrowly avoided the Salamancas’ hitmen, including the Terminator-like twins (Daniel and Luis Moncada), and he used some quick thinking up until the very end. In the pulse-pounding opening scene, Nacho held his breath and submerged himself in an abandoned oil tanker to evade his pursuers.

• And in the closing minutes as he’s waiting to be executed by the Salamancas, Nacho broke free of his restraints and gave a vicious, final monologue where he revealed to Hector that he was the one who put him in a wheelchair.
• So when you’re sitting in your shitty nursing home and you’re sucking down on your Jello night after night for the rest of your life, you think of me, you twisted fuck,” Nacho growled.

He grabbed Juan Bolsa’s (Javier Grajeda) weapon and held him at gunpoint, but instead of taking out Hector, Gus or any of the other high-ranking cartel members with him, he died by suicide. He also protected Gus’ reputation and cleared up any suspicion (for now) that Gus was involved in the failed hit on Lalo. When did you find out Nacho was going to die? I found out the winter before we started shooting. Peter, Vince and Melissa called me and they told me it’s going to be operatic, larger than life and it was going to break the internet. I immediately felt a tremendous amount of gratitude and was dialed in on making sure that this character sacrificed himself for the virtue and morality that he aspired to.

What was it like on the day you shot your death scene? It was an unbelievable experience. The day we shot that scene, when we turned the cameras on Nacho, a huge sandstorm hit immediately and we had to run back home before our cars got stuck in the mud. When I came home, lightning struck the tree in front of my house and fell on my driveway; I couldn’t get into the house.

There were all these weird things that were happening. The crew had Nacho shirts on and tear tattoos, and I couldn’t believe how much this character meant to so many people. We know that all of the characters in that final scene, like Gus, Hector and the Salamanca twins, live to see another day in “Breaking Bad,” but was there a reason why Nacho didn’t take anybody else down with him? Every single one of them is dead, if you think about it. What was it like shooting that final emotional phone call between Nacho and his father? In that moment, Nacho can run. He’s free to go. But he’s staring the sunset in the eyes, and he’s looking back at his father and saying “Come with me.” And his father says no.

It’s in that moment that Nacho knows that he’s going to walk back into hell and sacrifice himself for the love of his father. Before Mike (Jonathan Banks) roughs him up, we see Nacho get a final meal before he faces the Salamancas. Did you have any say on what Nacho would eat? It was really important for me that he use a fork and knife and that he put salt and pepper on his food.

It wasn’t about sustenance at this time, but it was about a man who was going out with a lot of love for life. And when you love life, you enjoy life. So Nacho didn’t lose the appetite for life, if anything he was filled with love and life at that point because he knew he was doing the right thing.

• It was a celebration of life, it was Nacho telling himself and the world not to cry for him.
• This was something he believed in and he was doing it with all his heart.
• The episode starts with Nacho on the run from the Salamanca twins, and he submerges himself in an oil tanker to hide from them.
• What was shooting that messy scene like? It was an incredible episode, beautifully written and directed by Gordon Smith, full of symbolism.

The last meal, the last goodbye, the trial of a man’s heart, like when the ancient Egyptians would weigh your heart against the weight of a feather and figure out what is it you stood for. The writing had given me such an unbelievable opportunity to do a character that was going through something incredible physically, psychologically, emotionally, but also spiritually.

It was amazing to seep my actual body into that darkness and to come out of that tanker in the middle of the night with the star-filled sky, to literally wash myself off and clean myself of all that darkness by this abandoned gas station on the side of a highway. To stand there in front of all these future-dead men and to look up at the sky and yell out what I believe in and to sacrifice my life for that morality and virtue, I feel like a really lucky actor who’s been given this dream role.

I’m eternally grateful that it will forever live in pop culture. This episode, in a strange way, is Nacho’s lowest and highest point at the same time. It’s the one where life treats him the most unfairly, but strangely it’s when he feels the most whole because he has no doubt of who he is in that moment.

In “Breaking Bad” Season 2 Episode 8, Saul briefly mentions an Ignacio and a Lalo in one scene. People had made theories that they’re alive later on in “Breaking Bad” because of that one bit of dialogue. Did you ever discuss whether that Ignacio and your Nacho are the same person? I think in Season 1, Vince and Peter said that Ignacio was the Nacho because Nacho is short for Ignacio.

So we knew since Season 1 that it was sort of going to be linked, but then again there could be another Ignacio as well. But I think now we’re pretty sure we’re talking about these two characters.

So does that mean that Saul never finds out that Nacho is dead, since he thinks he’s still alive in “Breaking Bad”? You are trying to trick me with a spoiler here! This interview has been edited and condensed.

What was Nacho hiding in?

Unpredictable weather, a medical emergency, and one heartfelt note helped make this episode-long tribute more than just its ending. – Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television The last thing filmed on “Better Call Saul” was Nacho’s hideout in the oil tanker. As his character is hiding from people on his tail who wish him dead, Mando had to submerge himself in a giant pool of goo. In a way, it was a fitting reverse-baptism for one of the most memorable characters on one of TV’s best dramas.

• Nowing that his character doesn’t appear in “Breaking Bad,” fans have been anticipating an unfortunate end for Nacho for a while.
• That end came a little sooner than expected in this week’s “Rock and Hard Place,” but not without a beautifully orchestrated sendoff.
• To have the whole show ‘Breaking Bad’ and be this one guy breaking good creates a tremendous amount of tension to go against that current.

So that character had a really tall order and a great responsibility to double down on his desire to do the right thing. There was not a dull moment and I’m so grateful for it,” Mando said of the experience. Of course, with a show like “Better Call Saul,” endings don’t mean anything without all the work that comes before it.

• In advance of Nacho’s exit, Mando spoke with IndieWire about the challenges and encouraging coincidences that helped make this farewell episode the best it could be.
• This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
• IndieWire: Gordon Smith was the writer and director on this episode.
• Did it help to have one person who you could talk to about all aspects of how this was going to end? Michael Mando: This episode was full of so many symbolisms, if you zoom in on Nacho’s shirt, or the last meal, or the last goodbye, or that moment where Nacho is free, but decides to walk back into hell to save his father.

Gordon and I really spoke a lot before this episode. It was our final sendoff for me and him. It was the last time he was directing. We were very aware of this wonderful script that he had written. And we talked about detail stuff. For example, it was important for me that Nacho would eat with a knife and a fork, and that he would put salt on his food.

It was about celebrating life, that this character felt whole doing this decision. Before Nacho gets to that final confrontation in the desert, he has plenty of phone conversations, especially the one with his father. Performing really intense scenes without a physical on-screen partner, was that something that came easier to you over the course of the show? I come from the theater and I’m used to playing Shakespeare.

In the theater, the lines are so important. It was amazing playing a character where the acting was boiled down to the essence of being, where your character really can’t hide behind gestures or movements or expressions. You really had to be, And that, to me, was a roller coaster ride because you have to go so deep within yourself. Michael Mando Irvin Rivera Things can change so much in TV, especially on a script level. Did Nacho’s farewell scene end up pretty close to how it was when you first read it? Nothing major was changed. I think it was pretty much the way it was played. We found a lot of stuff in the interpretation of moments.

1. We discovered a lot of things in the way we interpreted things.
2. But the scene was pretty much shot the way it was written.
3. And it was it was a magical time.
4. That episode was crazy.
5. Right before we turn the cameras on Nacho, there was a sandstorm and we had to call it quits.
6. When I came home that night, lightning struck the tree in front of my house and blocked my driveway.

One of the ADs sent me a photo of almost an identical truck to the one that Nacho steals that had nothing to do with us. You’re not going to believe this, the guy painted the name “Nacho” in the back. And there was no way he would have known about it because it still hasn’t aired yet.

I had cut my finger really deeply the day before my first day of shooting and I couldn’t feel anything in my left hand. I thought I was having a heart attack that night because my whole hand was numb. I ended up not shooting for a week and a half. So there was all these unbelievable things that were happening that made it so symbolic.

With that last message that Nacho gives to Hector before the end, there’s a lot of emotional range to play there. What helped you decide how internally to play that? Before they turned the camera onto Nacho, there was that sandstorm. The very next day, when we shot that scene, Gordon Smith gave me a great note that changed the way I played it and took it in a completely different direction.

• We had a day to think about it and we were really happy with what we were doing when the camera wasn’t on me.
• But when the next day, we realized that this was a scene where he was doubling down on his love for his father.
• It wasn’t a scene about revenge, it was a scene about true love and sacrifice.
• He was standing up for his community.

He was saying, “We are not bad people. We are not you. We are my father. You’re not our representatives. My father is our representative.” That, to me, was beautiful. And I think that’s why it means so much to me. As we’ve seen a few times before with beloved characters, this is a self-contained TV universe where even dead characters seem to find their way back somehow.

• Is that something you’d be interested in doing someday or do you feel like this episode closed the chapter for you? Vince and Peter are the captains of this ship.
• If they called me and said, ‘We’d like to make a Nacho movie,’ my answer would be, ‘What time and where?’ This turned into a dream role, because he became iconoclastic.

He broke that mold of the cartel brown skinned guy. And he turns and becomes a hero essentially a larger than life hero in every sense of the word. And that, to me, is the the biggest celebration. And I thank the writers for that responsibility, to allow me to allow me to occupy that responsibility.

Why did Nacho put Hector in a wheelchair?

Hector’s Disability Came From Gus Fring’s Act Of Revenge – So what happened to Hector Salamanca that led to his condition in Breaking Bad ? Hector needed a new endeavor to serve as a front for his drug operations so he set his sights on Nacho’s (Michael Mando) father who ran an upholstery business. Nacho wasn’t pleased with the idea so he stole some of Hector’s heart medication.

He emptied the pill capsules and refilled them with ibuprofen, which could increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The spiked pills finally worked during a drug cartel meeting. Hector suffered a stroke but Gus saved him by using CPR. In Better Call Saul season 4, Gus hired a specialist from Johns Hopkins to care for Hector.

After learning that Hector could potentially walk and speak again, he discontinued Hector’s therapy to trap him in his current state. Nacho was also forced into working for Gus as he was aware of his attempt to kill Hector. With nobody to care for Hector, he was sent to the nursing home, Casa Tranquila.

What was Nacho hiding in?

Unpredictable weather, a medical emergency, and one heartfelt note helped make this episode-long tribute more than just its ending. – Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television The last thing filmed on “Better Call Saul” was Nacho’s hideout in the oil tanker. As his character is hiding from people on his tail who wish him dead, Mando had to submerge himself in a giant pool of goo. In a way, it was a fitting reverse-baptism for one of the most memorable characters on one of TV’s best dramas.

Nowing that his character doesn’t appear in “Breaking Bad,” fans have been anticipating an unfortunate end for Nacho for a while. That end came a little sooner than expected in this week’s “Rock and Hard Place,” but not without a beautifully orchestrated sendoff. “To have the whole show ‘Breaking Bad’ and be this one guy breaking good creates a tremendous amount of tension to go against that current.

So that character had a really tall order and a great responsibility to double down on his desire to do the right thing. There was not a dull moment and I’m so grateful for it,” Mando said of the experience. Of course, with a show like “Better Call Saul,” endings don’t mean anything without all the work that comes before it.

What was the plan with Nacho Varga?

BCS_405_NW_0312_1018-RT Warning: This story contains plot details from Monday’s episode of Better Call Saul, “Rock and Hard Place,” Let us now raise a broken glass to Nacho Varga. You can skip the farewell speech, though, because you won’t top his. The crafty criminal with a conscience — who became a Salamanca right hand man-turned-Fring informant — survived too many close calls (and two bullets) in the treacherous cartel games of Better Call Saul,

1. But the third episode of the final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad prequel would prove to be the end of the dirt road.
2. At the conclusion of season 5, Nacho (Michael Mando) had no choice but to facilitate a plan by Gus ( Giancarlo Esposito ) to assassinate Juarez cartel player Lalo (Tony Dalton), and as that mission went up in gun smoke, Nacho went on the run (and found a suboptimal submerged hideout in an oil tanker).

Set up with shelter at a Mexican motel by Mike ( Jonathan Banks ), he deduced that he was being, actually, set up : He was a wanted/dead man by all sides. But there was one thing he had in his favor: He could divert the heat and suspicion away from the Chicken Man.

1. And he used that leverage to guarantee the safety of his father, Manuel (Juan Carlos Cantu), who had long urged his son to turn himself into the police.
2. And to whom Nacho would make a final emotional call.
3. The plan was simple and grim: Gus would deliver a ziptied Nacho to Hector (Mark Margolis) — who was flanked by the Cousins (Daniel and Luis Moncada) — Nacho would confess a concocted story about who ordered the hit, and as he’d try to escape, Victor (Jeremiah Bitsui) would shoot him dead, saving him from a tortuous end.

But after his last meal, Nacho improvised a new plan when Juan Bolsa (Javier Grajeda) ordered him to spill the details. He delivered an epic, electric speech to Hector that doubled down on the assassination attempt of Hector’s nephew (“He’s a soulless pig and I wish I had killed him with my own hands”), revealed that he was the reason that Hector wound up in the wheelchair via Operation Pill Swap (“When you are sitting in your s-ty nursing home and you’re sucking down on your Jell-o night after night for the rest of life, you think of me, you twisted f-“), and delivered the exoneration (“You were dead and buried, and I had to watch this asshole bring you back,” he said while nodding to Gus), all while on his knees.

1. Having secreted away a shard of glass from Gus’ accident in the previous episode, Nacho sliced off his cuffs, stabbed Bolsa in the leg, and took him hostage at gunpoint.
2. With Mike watching through the scope of his gun at a great distance (and muttering for Nacho to “do it”), Nacho was in control of his destiny in his final moments, ending the standoff by turning the gun on himself.

The episode concluded with Hector repeatedly, if feebly, shooting his lifeless body. Ten episodes from the end, the Better Call Breaking Bad universe had offered up one of its most gripping and inevitable deaths, a man resolute in purpose — and in self-sacrifice.

“Nacho transcends himself,” is how co-creator Peter Gould hinted at what awaited this tragic figure in this final season. “Nacho becomes the man he was always meant to be.” The man who played Ignacio deftly and thoughtfully calls that potent send-off “operatic, symbolic, and beautiful. We get the opportunity to truly see inside Nacho’s soul.” It’s time to cut off our own zip-tie cuffs, rip the tape off our mouth, and ask the one we truly need to hear it from, Michael Mando, for his insights into Nacho’s last stand — and what it’s like to bid farewell to the ABQ.

Michael Mando as Nacho Varga – Better Call Saul _ Season 6, Episode 2 Michael Mando as Nacho Varga in ‘Better Call Saul’ | Credit: Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: R.I.P., Nacho. How long have you been living with this death sentence, and what was your reaction to the initial pitch on how he would meet his end? MICHAEL MANDO: I was in Montreal.

• I think it was around the end of 2020, beginning of 2021.
• Melissa Bernstein called and said, “Peter and Vince would like to talk to you.” And it was just a really beautiful conversation.
• A lot of beautiful words were exchanged and there was just a sense of family and gratitude, and they had promised me that it was going to be epic and heroic and tragic at the same time.

And that I would be very happy. And they were right. That was one of the most charged, memorable speeches we’ve seen on Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul — shades of “Ozymandias” with Hank (Dean Norris), but also Walt’s (Bryan Cranston) call to Skyler (Anna Gunn), where he’s saying one thing but there’s another layer and meaning.

1. What kind of levels were you playing in that moment? It was a really fantastical moment.
2. The first time around, we had a huge sandstorm take over and we had to stop shooting.
3. We couldn’t shoot my coverage.
4. We had done everyone else’s coverage.
5. When I got home the second day, lightning had struck the tree in front of my house and I couldn’t get in because the tree had fallen onto my driveway.

It was an incredible episode to shoot., I had cut my finger really deep and lost sensation in all of my left hand and had to be rushed to the hospital, because I couldn’t tell if I was having a heart attack or if I couldn’t feel the nerve in my hand, because all I kept feeling was tingling in my shoulder.

So it was just a magical moment, you know? The ancient Egyptians used to weigh the heart of the dead man against the weight of a feather. And if his heart was lighter than a feather, then he would go to heaven. I feel Nacho’s heart was being weighed — not only to all these future dead men in the scene, because everybody else dies.

But also to the world. He had the skyline in front of him and he was sort of speaking his piece to the gods as well. To me, he was doubling down on his love for his father. This is the speech that doubles down what I feel in regards to killing innocent lives.

He hates this idea that tough guys need to kill for fun or pleasure. He dislikes the idea of greed and corruption and he wants nothing to do with it. And it’s his chance of standing up for what he believes is right. Did you try different calibrations on the speech? And was there any dialogue that was cut? I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t tell you what was cut or what wasn’t.

The day before the sandstorm, I was doing it in a specific way, and the next day Gordon had an idea and it took me in a completely different way. And that’s when I realized that this was not an f-you speech, this was a speech that is filled with the underlying values and integrity of who Nacho really is, and where he’d like to see his community go.

• That’s also very important because to Nacho, his community is his father, it’s not the cartel.
• He sees his community as virtuous and full of integrity and morality.
• And that’s what he wishes for others of his community as well.
• When Mike is watching Nacho hold the gun to Bolsa’s head, he mutters, “Do it.” Is he hoping that Nacho would kill Bolsa, or is he saying, “Do your job,” which is, “Die and ensure your father’s safety.” And with the gun, Nacho can now end things on his terms.

I think Mike is a conflicted character morally at this point. For most of the show, Nacho’s been looking at Mike for guidance. In this point, Nacho transcends that relationship. I’m not really sure what Mike is really thinking anymore; you have to ask Jonathan Banks that, because the characters — even though there’s still a deep love and respect for each other — have sworn allegiances to different sides.

Nacho is breaking good and Mike is breaking bad, and they kind of leave each other at that point. Once he figured out he was going to use that glass shard from Gus’ dropped glass — and he’s always so crafty — did that give him any last-minute hope possibly of getting out of this? Or once he made that call to his dad and to Gus, did accept everything and was prepared to die and this gave him agency in that? What do you think was going through Nacho’s head in that moment? Nacho has made the decision to die during the phone call with his father.

I believe it is in that moment that he understood his father wasn’t going to escape with him and that his father didn’t understand the severity in which his son was in. And I think in that moment, Nacho understood that I am going to secure my father’s life by sacrificing mine.

The piece of glass is just an idea at that point to guarantee himself that he will do it the right way. At this point, he no longer has given the full confidence to Mike and he confidence in Gus a long time ago. And he really puts full faith into himself. And that piece of glass is him assuring he’s in control, and that he’s going to do this right, that he’s not depending on anybody anymore.

There’s a lot of symbolism in that whole episode. If you really look even at the patterns on Nacho’s shirt, the piece of jewelry that he keeps and throws everything else away, the bloody money that he gets rid of, the cleansing of darkness, the last meal.

• It’s just such an incredibly poetic episode.
• It’s a beautiful episode, and it transcends life.
• Usually to defy death, you live, but in this very, very specific, beautifully, written, tragic moment to embrace life, you need to die.
• Not unlike Mike, Nacho had a code.
• He cared deeply for his father, and for those who chose not to involve themselves in crime.

He realized that these were choices that he made and he accepted the responsibility. Those people did not, so leave them alone. In the end, after that speech, how do you view his soul? You mentioned the Egyptian analogy. It’s an epic, iconic character that is very Greek tragedy in some ways; it reminds me of Romeo and Juliet or Orpheus Descending, about a man who descends into hell to save the person he loves at the condition that he can never turn around and look back or that person turns to stone.

• I’d like to imagine this character as a tragic, heroic, romantic figure.
• Vince told me a samurai without a master.
• Somebody at AMC told me he’s the king of soul.
• Somebody else told me “the prodigal son.” People seem to have these quotes for him that I find really interesting: “Breaking good.” There’s a lot of beauty around that character, and I just feel so grateful that the writers have given me the responsibility to play this dream role.

Is it possible that viewers will see you again before the end of the show, in a flashback? That would be a Peter and Vince question. Nacho’s name comes up in season 2 of Breaking Bad, when Saul ( Bob Odenkirk ) pleads with Walt and Jesse that “it wasn’t me, it was Ignacio” and he asks if Lalo sent them.

• How much more to the story is there to get to that moment? That’s a Vince and Peter question.
• We’ve sworn an allegiance to keep our lips sealed.
• What’s the first thing that pops into your head to sum up your six seasons on Better Call Saul ? Gratitude certainly sounds like one.
• The first thing that comes to mind, other than “gratitude” and “dream role” — because you never know what character you’re playing until the end.

I never knew that this guy was going to be such a fan favorite. It’s an unbelievable feeling of gratitude that that character became that to so many people. Same thing with a lot of people inside the show and the crew. Other than the gratitude, I had the opportunity to learn so much from these pros, in front and behind the camera.

I had the opportunity to learn about producing, about writing in the writers’ room, and about leadership. And I can’t wait to take these lessons and apply them on my next journey. Can you talk about that next journey? I’m very interested in developing with producers and co-creating. I’m interested in a lot of great up-and-coming directors who have cool ideas.

I like genre films. I like Westerns, sci-fis, psychological thrillers. I like action films with a very solid, dramatic core to them. So I’m very excited for the future and very grateful for the past. What should be written on Nacho’s tombstone? “Love conquers all.” This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.
