Interesting Parallel Between Hector’s Truck in BCS and The Freight Train in BrBa.

This may have been posted or mentioned before but I looked around and couldn’t find anything about it on the sub.

I was rewatching BrBa, the episode Dead Freight (S5E5). Lydia tells Walt, Jesse and Mike about the train full of methylamine and proposes to rob it. Mike initially objects because he says it would mean having to either kill the crew on the train or leave behind witnesses.

Mike: “You know what this means, don’t you? We gotta off the crew?”

...

Walter: “How many guys are in the crew?”

Lydia: “Just two. An engineer and a conductor”

...

Jesse: “Two guys. Can’t we just tie them up or something?”

Mike: “And then what? Even if we wear a mask, we’re leaving two witnesses behind. Bottom line, I have done this long enough to know that there are two kinds of heists: Those where the guys get away with it and those that leave witnesses”

This dialogue directly reflects the time he robbed Hector’s truck in season 2 of BCS. He wore a mask and left the driver as a witness. He didn’t get caught but it ultimately lead to an innocent good samaritan being killed.

Later in that episode Dead Freight, Mike and Walter are having an argument about the heist and Mike says he doesn’t want any innocent people to die. Of course as we all know the train heist also ends with a civilian casualty in the little boy, Drew Sharp.

Idk just something I noticed that I thought was interesting.
