Better Call Saul, Season 5

[Mike meets with Gus underneath the laundromat after sending the German construction crew back home]

Gus:
Well?

Mike:
Last of them got on a plane for Zurich an hour ago. No problem.

Gus:
Will they do as they have been told?

Mike:
You're asking my opinion?

Gus:
I am.

Mike:
They know the consequences.

Gus:
And the laundry?

Mike:
The entrances to the side have been sealed. Nobody's gonna stumble on it.

Gus:
As long as Lalo Salamanca is on this side of the border, we cannot continue as we were.

Mike:
So this is it?

Gus:
No, this is not it. Once Salamanca is dealt with–and he will be dealt with–construction will resume. Until then, you will continue to be paid.

Mike:
You're gonna pay me to do nothing?

Gus:
Call it a retainer.

Mike:
Even after Ziegler?

Gus:
Yes.

Mike:
What happened in Frankfurt?

Gus:
The attorneys spent a full day with his wife. She accepted the facts as presented. As per your suggestion, a construction accident. The funeral was yesterday, and of course, she has been compensated.

Mike:
Compensated?

Gus:
I... would choose my next words...very carefully if I were you.

Mike:
[beat] You keep your goddamn retainer.
