"Think About What Happens If Something Goes Wrong" | Coushatta | Better Call Saul

People saying "why didnt Mike make it more clear Werners life was in danger" - The problem there is that if you say something that freaks him out too much then that enhances the chance he gets spooked and becomes even more erratic. The whole issue with him running to his wife for reassurance was about how trapped he felt which was enhanced after he almost died fixing a faulty detonator. The goal is to keep him chill and working well, threatening him may not help.

Werner Ziegler made the mistake of thinking he was working within the boundaries or morality. He never imagined they would really use lethal force.

I'm not entirely sure what the point is in keeping the construction workers from knowing their exact location is anyway. I mean yeah it does prevent them from blabbing to the police of where their secret illegal bunker is, but you know who already knows where it is? Mike, Mikes men, Gale, and later Walt and Jesse and all the laundry workers. so why do they have to keep their location a secret from only the construction workers?
AND on top of that, the workers have already seen gus's face, who is a well known business man. if one of these guys talked to a police sketch artist, hed be screwed anyway

Half measures...

The parallel that this has to Mike's son being killed is super sad.

...Aaaand, something like that definitely happened again

Call it a hunch but i think Werner probably didnt think about the precautions that take to keep everything that goes on there quiet or how much money Werner is making nor what could happen if something goes wrong.

Werner was Highkey the biggest idiot in my opinion like you knew the rules dude you couldn’t keep it in your pants?

That's when you take half-measures; happens again!

Funny how someone can be so smart, and so naive. Werner was a genius and also a dumbass.

Mike did another half measure.

If only there was something called Video Calling during that time 😅😅.

I feel like this is what would happen if someone talked while Bruce Wayne tried to get the Batcave built

This innocent bubbly German's death is the reason why I have absolutely zero remorse that Walter came in and annihilated Gus and his entire operation. Only fitting that it's a fellow man of science that comes and takes revenge, albeit unknowingly.

"I do understand."

Narrator: He, in fact, did not understand.

I couldn't stand Werner. He had it coming

Sooooo many stahs wisible in new mexico

He's definitely the Ted of this show. So frustratingly stupid

Well, he warned him.

Guy really couldn’t wait until the job got done?

Werner did in fact NOT understand what Mike was saying to him.

"WeRnEr ZeEeiIglLeRrR"
said Lalo out loud with his feet kicked back

Am I the only one that did not feel bad for him? Dude got involved with some serious people and he understood that, but still keeps pushing it. All book smart zero street smart

Mike should really not feel bad about what he had to do to Vern. The guy was reckless and just didn’t take the project seriously enough

No half measures, Mike. Show him how many stars there are in the sky.

Somehow Ziegler reminds me of Klopp (I guess he looks similar to him) for some reason. After watching him get shot to erase any half measures, I don't feel bad for what Heisenberg did to Mike, Gus. If it comes to choosing between your life, or being shot watching the stars in new mexico anyone would like to choose themselves .All Hail "Heisenberg"

Man was a fool to not understand what he was part off. It was explained and still he failed. Sad but he was an idiot.

Rip Werner Ziegler 😢

Werner looks a lot like walt did before he shaved his head. Maybe if werner was as crazy as walt, he would have survived

the houses built in the warehouse was so disturbing for me. It was like a distraction playhouse for these pawns to serve a bigger purpose of secret evil. Even though they knew the risk of working for gus, the bar, houses, soccer, and tennis court in a creepy secret warehouse feels like purgatory in the heart of the criminal underworld

best cartel-side storyline of the series

Yeah, I don’t think he understands

I really don’t understand why people liked Werner and thought it was sad he was killed. He was a buffoon that was on way over his head and was warned more than once that he could be killed if he keeps doing what he did. He deserved what he got

He had plenty of chances.

They completely set up Kai as the troublemaker, but then the big head fake comes with Werner being the weak link.

nice half-measure you got there, Michael...

Sony need to pay me for therapy

Wernerrrr Ziiiiiiiiigleeeer

Everyone eho saw this knew hot it will go down. The trajectory was known, yet still so sad.

I didn't watch this season. What's the plot of this operation

After rewatching thise scene I don't feel bad for Ziegler dying. He was warned. Mike was very clear about it and he did it anyway so yeah, off you go.

It's easy to say "meh, Werner should have toughed it out and he'd have been fine, but after a threat like this, Werner probably started fearing that they'd cap him anyway after finishing the job. Get threatened with death once, especially when you're practically their prisoner, and nothing is off the table.

That might have been the cause of his mental breakdown too, he's a normal guy and his world got completely upended by this.

Not sure why everyone is feeling bad about this bumbling fool getting executed.

Was this lab the same one that ended up under the laundry place in BrBa, or was it destroyed and then recreated?

People got sad during this death scene but I really didn't. He seems like a nice guy but he knew the risks coming to the job. He broke them and was reminded several times what would happen if he did it again. He didn't listen and almost got his wife killed in the process. Some people will think he just didn't know any better but how could he not after hearing Mike in this scene. To me it came off as arrogance. What did he think sneaking out of a secret underground bunker owned by a drug lord would come to?

RIP Werner. Just wanted a little time off to pour his concrete in his wife’s south wall.

Werner was the dumbest, biggest dipstick in the entire series. He's that character in the horror movie that has to go check the noise alone. I knew straight away what his end would be.

"I don't believe fear to be an effective motivator" - Mike

Something like this did happen again
