How did he go from this to working for the cartel?

Like how long do you lie there crying before you have to get up and awkwardly go to your car and drive home? And then what, they rang him like "ay senor we know we just shot your lover in the head in front of you but it's just business ey carbon?"
I've been a longtime lurker (since early 2015) and this is my first post so don't complain about this

      Yes but how long do you lay there for crying? And do they all laugh at him when he gets up? And when he gets home what does he do first

        He probably got up in shambles, stumbled out while they laughed at him some more, he went home, coped, and hatched his plan. How he went from there to developing something that appealed to the cartel is another story, since they were entirely dismissive of his plan to sell meth.

          He was just a distributor for their cocaine for a long time. The meth only entered the picture after the superlab was complete.

        They probably drugged him, took turns on his bussy while he was passed out and then called him a cab (that he had to pay for himself)

        I've been in a couple of similar situations, but with knives instead of guns pointing at me. At first you go walking and crying and when they don't see you, you run crying like a b***h. It gives you ptsd and destroys you emotionally forever. Kinda sucks tbh. I would love to be normal and happy.

          Can I ask how you came to be in that situation?

          I don't mean to be a dick, but I've had guns and knives pulled on me several times and I've never gotten ptsd or the urge to cry from it. Makes me a little sad that it came to that when it didn't have to, but that's life. Honestly, it fricks me up a whole lot more when a good friend of mine resorts to violence than an enemy. Perhaps your coping mechanisms aren't helping you, because just accepting that that's life and that's how people behave sometimes helps you shrug it off pretty easily. It sucks, but people often suck. Doesn't mean it has to frick you up for life.

      He wasn't working for the cartel at that point. He was selling meth on cartel turf to attract their attention

      I think the actor who plays Gus could lose 5-10kg and easily play a young Gus, growing up in the slums of Chile
      And it could also show young Mike working as a cop and marine in nam

          Just cast him as Gus's dad and then cast a new guy as young Gus. Also they should still both be called Gus.

        Seeing Mike during his days as a dirty cop in Philly would be more interesting. Everybody loves the character, but showing his go all Bad Lieutenant and full measures would be something else. Show could start in Vietnam then make the transition tho

    Beaners are obsessed with their masculinity and get easily rilied up if you call theirs into question. Being a man is everything to them, so the cartel just saw it as "Yeah we killed your friend, but that's because you disrespected us, get over it, be a man, time to get back to work!"
    They never saw Gus as a threat, because he was soft spoken, skinny, prim and proper, he was a wimp to them because he wasn't going around flaunting his masculinity as much as possible to remind everyone that he is not gay. Gus decided to use this against them.

      Doesn't matter, he lurked for 7 years before posting. I, for one, welcome him with open arms. newbies nowadays can't even lurk for one day, much less a month or a year.

      He didn't call himself an oldgay, he called himself a long time lurker, which, if you haven't posted once in 7 years of browsing, is true.

    They underestimated his power level. He walked in with a more beta version of his clean cut chicken man persona. The cartel bosses probably thought his was some accountant tier cuck like a Marty Byrd who would just do as he's told out of sheer terror.
    Gus walked out and kept the appearance of being weak. And by the time they could see he wasnt some pushover, he was already too profitable and important to remove.

    It's a good question OP, i cant wait for the pre prequel series where a 70 year old Giancarlo Esposito plays a 20 something year old gus as he works his way up the cartel ladder. Id also like to see a prequel series of a mid 30s Mike Ehrmantraut played by 80 year old Jonathan Banks while he was still in the police force.

    They didn't know it was his lover he could've just been his business partner. In that case the cartel wouldn't have viewed it as that big a deal. You fricked up and your friend died, if you still want to make money we're here.

      I think this was so poorly explained that in the end they just went along with the "nah, it was a lie" idea. Probably realized that D'espossito speaks such a frickin awful spanish it was just ridiculous to believe. They didn't even care to expand nor retcon anything, not even for the "ooh so mysterious" idea.
      His spanish is so bad, it's insulting to the quality of the series, but they do that a lot.
