[For his part, Gus remembers Mexico, and he remembers Jesse's success: he's not any less wary than Jesse is, simply due to the territory, but he does know that Jesse is reliable enough. For his purposes, anyway.]

I've heard a good deal of the basics, but if there is anything else that you feel I should know, I'd be eager to hear it.

[There is a faint, restrained smile.]

[ Eager to hear it. Right. No direct questions about Jesse's stay in Haven, just an open floor. In a couple of hours, he got the entire run-down? What's he been doing, sitting around, silently listening to the network? ... right. ]

So... you know that we're screwed. [ Deadpanning the most important part. ] I mean, that's the biggest take-away here, right? Like, key facts.

[ Regardless of their history together, they're in the same unfortunate predicament. Jesse sits up. Same as back home, there's an underlying listlessness about the future that he has, one that he strews about like it's his greatest defense.

He watches Gus. He gives his bold opinion: ] You won't join 'em. Nothin' big to be gained from working with these people. Hell, they don't even see us as people.

I appreciate the attention to detail you've given in your account. [Gus answers, tamely.

And Jesse is right. More than he has a taste for, actually, particularly in a place where the valuable weight of information does not fully rest in his hands. He's wandering around in the dark as much as Jesse is, and Gus very, very much dislikes operating in the dark: guessing at others' actions, taking unnecessary risks, working on conjecture and educated guess alone.

It's unpredictable. It has never done him any favors.

He can, however, predict Jesse Pinkman.]

I see no real purpose to enlisting with Yao. [right now, anyway. if there's ever a distinct advantage that presents itself, endearing himself to Jesse again will take a little less precedence.] Are you acquainted with any of the resident employees?
