Saul said he had been "pulling their feet out of the fire, legally speaking for about five years now". This was Season 5 of BrBa which should be about a year after the events of Season 1. BCS started 5 years before BrBa Season 1, so yeah.
edit: this of course assumes Todd has been with them for 5 years, given his young age is unlikely however
The great choices in music continues with Alfonso Muskedunder by Todd Terje! Never thought I'd hear that in BCS
...Doesn't want Hector Salamanca dead? I'm a little confused.
In Breaking Bad, Hector was in a wheelchair and posed little threat to Gus or his business, so I can understand keeping him around to gloat. But here Hector is directly competing with him.
Is it because he doesn't want to start a gang war? Why go to all this effort to keep him alive?
I think Jimmy's specific description of Chuck's death might be a purposeful misdirection for what is really going to happen.
I think Hector ends up killing Chuck(purposefully or accidentally) due to a chain of shady events inadvertently set in motion by Jimmy.
Jimmy feels very guilty that Chuck ends up dying not due to his own health problems, but due to out-of-control events set in motion by Jimmy, proving Chuck right in a very unexpected way that Jimmy would ultimately be very sorry for his disregard for the law.
Mike finds out about this death from Jimmy and outraged that Hector has killed another civilian, tells Gus that Hector must die. Gus, recognizing Mike's talents and wanting to keep their partnership, suggests a compromise of a " serious accident" that will permanently take away Hector's ability to talk and walk. Mike agrees.
This chain of events will bring all these characters and the lawful and criminal worlds close together in a very personal way for Jimmy, forcing Jimmy to finally chose which world he's going to live in.
