I don't think it's Mike either, but it can't be ruled out just base on him being to busy

you did post to me earlier you thought it was mike. and I think we can rule him out because he is too busy and cannot be in 2 places at once.

I think it's most likely Howard's P.I. though, it would make more sense.

---

I think its smart you changed your mind to to this, Its where my money has been.

I've never thought it was anyone for sure, I just mentioned Mike was a possibility.
I am kind of hoping it is, because that would probably be the start of Nacho getting extracted by the vacuum man.

That scenario would get complicated though. Nacho isn't going anywhere without his dad. Howard's P.I. seems the most likely scenario.

you did say the quote below though, and we know it isn't mike's car based off the license plates and he can't be in 2 places at once.

quote:

I think it was Mike following Saul. It was a Mike type car.

It's OK to change your mind though. because mike isn't really a possibility, we know he's busy dealing with gus then going to mexico to extract nacho.

I will give you kudos because I'm impressed you have been sticking to plot instead of going apeshit about kim at the end of the episode 3 trailer. but lets leave it at that for now.

Does anyone remember Saul or Kim writing in a small notebook in BB or BCS? I'm racking my brain and can't recall it. I ask because a notebook was seized at Saul's house with weird coded writing.

May be important, but may be nothing. Seems like it could come up again this season though.

Ham, what was the big bombshell in the previews that you alluded to?

Bolsa knows damn well that Gus ordered that hit (and Gus knows that he knows) but it is in Bolsa's business interests (and possibly his continued living interests) to make sure the mess gets cleaned up

---

Bolsa is an interesting topic. In S5 he puts a hit on Lalo's bail money and Gus found out but the Salamanca's still don't know. Bolsa has to know that it was Gus who thwarted his plan and he can't rule out that Jimmy told Lalo or Nacho about it. For that reason he needs both Lalo and Nacho dead. Gus would know this so he would expect Bolsa to make it a priority to not allow the Salamancas to take Nacho alive, and you would think Bolsa now has the added incentive of pleasing Gus since he knows his dirt

yea its hard to see that not coming back up, it seems important. whats even more strange is that it was dropped into a box labeled "no value"
so I assume the feds did not seize it as evidence, and it will likely be tossed, but saul may need it for something.


also medications found in his house:
saul seems to be in an all out war with hair loss. minoxidil, biotin, and finasteride for hair loss. spironolactone could also be used for hair loss but may be an indication saul has heart problems considering there is another medication that appears to end in OLOL which would be a beta blocker used for heart issues or off label anxiety. fluoxetine for anxiety type problems which may also cause ED and viagra for ED.
numlifor - a fictional medication.
and 2 additional unknown medications turned around

BCS season 6 is somewhere around 2005 and the mystery car was a '90 or older Caprice. Police departments generally don't keep cars that long, and BCS seems pretty accurate with cars and such as far as setting the time period, so I'd lean towards it being a PI for Howard.

---

I figured it was Lalo following them. Didn't he say he knew where to get "proof." Lalo also followed Mike in a similar manner. However, that is assuming a time jump and Lalo already being back across the boarder. Idk probably not right, just what my first thought was.

ETA: "Proof" being forcing Saul to explain the truth about what happened with the bail money and proving that Bolsa and Gus both went out of their way to frick him over, albeit independently and basically countering each other's move.

quote:

---

He did say that, but then immediately canceled his border crossing. Assuming his proof is in Mexico and he's talking about Nacho. The twins said to take him alive, so I'm assuming Lalo gave them that order.

---

Yeah that could be. I need to rewatch but I feel like the scene of Lalo and the coyotes was right before Saul and Kim at the Kettlemens. Probably a red herring, as Lalo knows he's wanted for murder and bail skipping in "the North." Plus his need for revenge would point him wherever Nacho might be.

Can't believe Jimmy let Lalo's name slip to the ADA and investigator. Very uncharacteristic, and will no doubt be a catalyst for bad things.

ETA: loved the scene where Gus shakes Hectors hand and immediately knows Lalo is alive. Greatly mirrors their final scene together in BB.

How do we know that Bolsa was the one that ordered the hit on the bail money in the desert? I can’t remember season 5.

---

Gus talks to Bolsa on the phone about the hit while Mike is in the room, when they hang up he says he just spoke to the man who did it.
