* OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyers: Gus chooses not to have a lawyer present while he is being questioned by the DEA. Gus has carefully built up an image as a VillainWithGoodPublicity "pillar of the community" who makes regular donations to law enforcement causes and is even personal friends with ASAC Merkert, Mike's boss. Bringing a lawyer would raise too many questions and confirm their suspicions that he has something to hide. Instead, Gus is able to quickly manufacture a story to explain his presence at Gale's apartment that everybody but Mike finds credible.

Hank, the DEA, and APD summon Gus to discuss the fact that his fingerprints had been found in Gale Boetticher's apartment, where he had been [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E13FullMeasure killed]]. Gus explains that he had previously met Gale when he gave him a Maximo Arciniega Chemistry Scholarship, named in honor of an old friend who passed away long ago. He claims had not seen Gale for years until a couple of weeks ago, where he invited him over for dinner at house to discuss a "business proposition". Hank is not entirely convinced: he asks if Gus' name really is "Gustavo Fring", mentioning that a Chilean national named Gustavo Fring immigrated to Mexico in the 1980s, but there was no record of his existence before then. This momentarily catches Gus off-guard, but he quickly gathers himself explains this away by claiming his records had been lost during Augusto Pinochet's regime. Gus manages to evade suspicion from the DEA and APD, but Hank is still unconvinced. As he leaves the DEA's office, Gus stands silently, seething in anger...

* ArtisticLicense: Taking Chilean demographics and racial inequalities into consideration it would be more likely for a man of Max's ethnicity to be the rich one and for Gus to be the poor one. Then again, considering Vince Gilligan deliberately left Gus' backgrounds ambiguous, it could be possible that Gus managed to rise higher than others of his race thanks to his implied position in Pinochet's dictatorial regime. [[spoiler: Gus grew up poor according to [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS4E6Pinata the story he told Hector shortly after his stroke]], so it's confirmed that Gus somehow managed to rise out of that poverty.]]

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Heavily implied; Eladio, a feared and powerful drug cartel kingpin, admits to Gus that the only reason he's not dead along with Max is that "I know who you are", implying that Gus is either someone powerful enough or connected to someone powerful enough to make Eladio fear the wrath that would come down upon him should he just kill the other man.
