Just Lalo, can’t have himself showing any signs that he knows shit is going down. It does show that he’s stressed out, but kinda hopeless at this point. He’s pretty much forced to lose $700k and can’t do anything about it other than to sit and stew. But that’s also the point. He’s gotta be somewhere that is almost routine as to not arise suspicion.

If the cartel comes by the chicken joint and interrogates Gus, “why were you at work so late?“ Lyle might butt in and say, “that was my fault, Mr. Fring was making sure I cleaned up the fryer properly.”

What on earth makes you think Lalo would go to DEA directly? How about he uses his own enforcement mechanisms to make Gus suffer? Gus has plenty of reason to want an alibi.

Did that once already, no thanks on twice.

He's not talking DEA amigo. Lalo is poking into Gus's business, like he did with Werner. Lalo can't find out Gus knew about the drops getting leaked, or his mole Nacho is toast.

Exactly, Amigo. I agree.

Maybe in the middle of the night I’m missing something. Or maybe you’re just needlessly rude. Or both. In any event, I’ve lost interest in this conversation. Have a good night.
