Better Call Saul completely changes the meaning behind Saul Goodman's famous Breaking Bad Nacho line. Vince Gilligan first sowed the seeds for his Better Call Saul prequel series way back in 2009 with Breaking Bad season 2. Seeking criminal representation, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman kidnap Bob Odenkirk's Saul Goodman for a violent trip into the desert. Before he realizes whom his captors really are, Saul pleads, "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio. He's the one!" Following a spot of Spanish begging, he then asks, "Lalo didn't send you?"Thanks to Better Call Saul, audiences now know "Lalo" is Tony Dalton's Lalo Salamanca, and "Ignacio" is Nacho, played by Michael Mando. They also know that Saul is invoking the name of two dead men – both Nacho and Lalo are killed during the events of Better Call Saul season 6, seeming to make the line nonsensical. However, when considering what Saul would actually know at the time, the line makes a little more sense.
