While looking at a sales display of gas caps, he has an epiphany and takes apart the one from the station wagon, where he finds a battery-operated tracker. After finding the tracking device, Mike obtains an identical one from Dr.
After searching through every possible square inch of every component in the car, Mike finally found what he was looking for: a tracker concealed in the cap of the gas tank.
Mike tests his new bug and sees that not only is it battery-operated, the accompanying monitor gives a low battery warning. Inspired, he comes up with a plan: he will replace the bug in the gas cap with his bug and run down the other bug's battery by wiring it up to a transistor radio.
When Gus has his men put a tracker on Mike's car, he gets right to work. Step 1: Find and remove the tracker from the vehicle so they can no longer track your whereabouts. Mike drops it his on his property, so to Gus and his men, it looks like Mike never leaves.
Just before he and Jimmy pushed the Suzuki Esteem into the ditch, Mike removed the gas cap so as not to leave any evidence of his subterfuge.
Gustavo 'Gus' Fring : [to Mike] Would you care to know why I stopped you from killing Hector? A bullet to the head would have been far too humane.
I've talked to others about this and no one can give me an answer so I turn to you wonderful people. Gus had his men put the tracker on the tan station wagon that Mike used to go kill Hector.
However, the idea was not so improbable as Mike had used a tracker in the gas tank cover of Saul's car in order to track where he would have been in the desert. Mike recovered the cover before they went on the trek through the desert so he would have been able to leave tracker with the money bags and locate them later.
She didn't get it. That's one of the reasons he left when the DEA showed up at the park: he needed his buyout from Walt if he was going to set her up.
Shut the f-ck up... and let me die in peace. Mike's last words before he dies of his injuries after being fatally shot by Walt. Saul Goodman sent me. Mike's first words in Breaking Bad.
"It was nice to fix something for once," he lamented, ever the despondent, morally-conflicted fixer who only ever breaks things. The episode closed out with Mike returning his payment to Gus because of an unplanned death in the process.
Mike Ehrmantraut drives to the site where he committed the ice-cream truck robbery. Using information Nacho Varga provided, he finds the body of the Good Samaritan who was killed after freeing Ximenez Lecerda. He then makes an anonymous call and reports the location to the police.
Perhaps there is no bigger moment for the bottle stopper than when it rolls off a moving truck outside Saul's house in the sixth season cold open. The stopper was a token of Jimmy and Kim's romance, something to allow Jimmy to remember his only companion during the worst times in his life as Saul.
Mike drives to the site of the truck robbery and retrieves a metal detector and shovel from his trunk. He uses these instruments, along with the information supplied by Nacho, to find the body of the Good Samaritan killed by Hector after the robbery.
The Garden Hose
Mike finishes the project himself after Stacey picks up Kaylee. He washes the hose thoroughly (removing fingerprints?), and then, while wearing gloves (again, avoiding fingerprints?), he puts long nails into the holes he and Kaylee drilled in the hose.
The overriding intention behind Mike's Better Call Saul safe-swapping trick was to ensure Nacho's death without casting suspicion over Gus Fring.
Walt DEFINITELY cared for Jesse!
Sure, he used him occasionally to get stuff done but there is no doubt that he loved him. Many will argue that his love and care was only because he needed him. Here are a few instances that show that he did indeed care for him / like him.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
That said, season 5 revealed that Walt earned over $80 million in cash, which he kept in a storage unit. Jesse, however, was left with $5 million that Walt gave him out of guilt.
Jimmy gets ambushed, shot at, saved by Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), stranded in the desert and forced to drink his own pee — all in one episode. Luckily, Jimmy and Mike make it back to civilization, and Jimmy and Kim are able to convince Lalo that everything is fine, despite Jimmy's dehydrated desert adventure.
Plot. A disguised Mike Ehrmantraut uses his spike strip to ambush one of Hector Salamanca's trucks and extracts the $250,000 hidden in a tire while leaving the driver, Ximenez Lecerda, tied up. Nacho Varga suspects Mike, which Mike admits.
It seems that Gus is aware of Mike's fight with Tuco and that Hector's truck was hit; a Good Samaritan was killed by the Cartel, and Gus knew that Mike wouldn't stand for that. So Gus had a tracker put on Mike's car.
Michael Ehrmantraut (/ˈɜːrməntraʊt/) is a fictional character in Breaking Bad and its spinoff prequel Better Call Saul, portrayed by Jonathan Banks. Mike is a former Philadelphia police officer who works for Gus Fring—and, on occasion, Saul Goodman—as a private investigator, head of security, cleaner, and hitman.
Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) from the Juarez cartel wanted to shorten the prison sentence of his nephew Tuco (Raymond Cruz) after he viciously assaulted Mike. Accordingly, Hector pressured Mike into telling the district attorney that a gun found at the scene didn't belong to Tuco.
He worked for both Gustavo Fring and Saul Goodman as a private investigator, head of security, cleaner, fixer, and hitman. Mike has extensive knowledge of how to operate on both sides of the law without detection.
