Ah, the uncle. Of course it's the uncle. Now if Saul were honest and not at risk of being a future cartel hit as soon as he's out of this room, he would say good riddance to poor tio Salamanca. As far as he cares, the fewer of these psychos out there in any vicinity to him, the better. But he can't say that, and instead, trains his face to look sympathetic as Lalo explains his situation. And truthfully, ignoring his own feelings about Tuco, it's not hard to be a bit sympathetic here.

"No, that's not it. I mean, I've got first-hand experience with meeting Tuco in... less than ideal circumstances. You know that."

Less than ideal, of course, being the nicest way to put his experience with Tuco Salamanca, and he would be happy to never have to repeat that ever.

"I think it's admirable, how close your whole family seems to be. You seem to really look out for Tuco and your Tio, and I remember how protective Tuco was of your lovely Abuelita. Jorge de Guzman must feel the same about his family, too, huh?"
