Fans got a major blast from the past in Better Call Saul season six, episode 12, Waterworks, when Emilio (played by John Koyama) randomly cropped up. Breaking Bad followers will remember him from way back in season one of the AMC and Netflix drug drama when he was working alongside Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in making and selling meth. His exit from Breaking Bad may have to be one of the most memorable from the original series as it set up the show perfectly for all five seasons.
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
What happened to Emilio in Breaking Bad?
In the season one pilot episode of Breaking Bad, Emilio was arrested during a house raid by the DEA who were looking for the meth supplier that went by the name Captain Cook.
He makes bail but wrongly believed his business partner Jesse was the one to hand him over to the police.
Emilio forces Jesse to lead him and Krazy 8 (Maximino Arciniega) to his new partner Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and suggests killing both Jesse and Walt for their betrayal.
Walt convinces Emilio not to murder them by stating he would teach him his unusual meth formula.
Emilio, Walt and Jesse are in the RV in the desert with Walt literally cooking up a storm as he deliberately causes a chemical explosion and flees the scene.
He trapped Emilio and Krazy 8 in the vehicle so they couldn’t escape the deadly gas, killing them within a matter of minutes.
What fans may remember most about Emilio is how his body was disposed of as Walt decided to dissolve him in hydrofluoric acid in Jesse’s bath.
Unfortunately, once again, it didn’t go quite according to plan as the acid ate through the bath and the floor so they had to clean up the mess by flushing Emilio down the toilet.
Emilio hadn’t been seen since season one of Breaking Bad so it came as a major surprise for viewers when he reappeared in the prequel Better Call Saul’s Waterworks.
After Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) leaves Saul Goodman’s (Bob Odenkirk) office having signed divorce papers, Emilio is called in as his next client.
Kim then meets Jesse in the reception who tells her that Emilio was facing serious time behind bars and chose to go to Saul after watching his advert, against Jesse’s better judgement.
Waiting for his friend, Jesse asks Kim if Saul is any good and she tells him, “when I knew him, he was”.
