Was there something extra special in the fact that Vince Gilligan was the one directing your swan song? I just didn’t know how it was going to go down, and it ended up being pretty cool. But great stories have great villains, and you want to kill your villain, you know? What are you gonna do, not kill the villain? Of course you have to. I mean, personally, I always thought that they would never let me down. And it was very cathartic.Įven before you got word from Vince and Peter, did you know that this day was coming? Or had you held out hope that maybe Lalo could somehow survive? I was like, If this is going to be the end, I want to sit down and read this whole thing all the way through right now. So it was a night shoot, like one in the morning, and I grabbed a little chair and put it on the side of the rest stop next to the highway and just sat down. But I didn’t know what was going to happen. I already knew that it was the end for me, because Vince and Peter had already told me. We were at a rest stop in Albuquerque, where we filmed that scene where I’m taking a shower. Oh, my god, are you kidding me? It was amazing. So what’s your first reaction when you get this script and see that it is indeed your time to die, bro? The cold-blooded, charismatic killer is bleeding out from a gunshot to the neck, and just before the lights go out on him forever, he manages one last classic Lalo smile. Breaking Bad fans know that Gus’s story doesn’t end here, but it turns out that Lalo’s does. But Gus manages to stall long enough to cut the lights and make a run for a nearby weapon, which ignites a shoot-out in the dark. He soon gets a welcome surprise with the arrival of a suspicious Gus, who, at gunpoint and while being recorded, is brought down into the lab, where Lalo intends to kill him. Jimmy convinces Lalo to send Kim, whose failure on her mission is irrelevant-because Lalo just needed a distraction to sneak into Gus’s under-construction superlab and videotape evidence of its existence.
But Monday’s “Point and Shoot” picks up in the immediate aftermath, with Lalo revealing his plan to the terrified couple: One of them will stay there with him, and the other will go murder Lalo’s chief rival, Gus ( Giancarlo Esposito). It’s been almost two months since the first half of Better Call Saul’s sixth and final season shockingly ended with Lalo Salamanca ( Tony Dalton) strutting into the apartment of Jimmy ( Bob Odenkirk) and Kim ( Rhea Seehorn) and nonchalantly murdering Howard ( Patrick Fabian).
