How does Victor get away with saying "Two weeks..." to Gale in front of Gus?
In S4E1 ("Boxcutter")and Gus asks when things will be up and running, Gale says, In a month and Victor says, Two weeks. Gale then reluctantly agrees. Gus says nothing.
This seems like fairly impertinent of Victor (about whom we know almost nothing but he looks like he is in his early 20s if not late teens.
Is this something, along with later behavior which led to Victor's murder?
Or did Gus actually not mind Victor saying this particular thing, which sort of reminds me of what Nodoze said to Walt in front of Tuco?
Best Answer
Victor's statement was not made as Gale's assistant, but rather as Gus' informant on Gale's progress.
Gale is taking more time than is strictly necessary because he is padding for safety and preparedness. Victor knows that it can be done quicker and informs Gus of this. Gus trusts and believes Victor. Gale knows this and therefore yields rather than try to argue with Victor in front of Gus, because he knows he will lose the debate.
Victor wasn't speaking out of turn. He was doing precisely what Gus wants him to do: observe and report on Gale.

Was Gus manipulating Jesse?
The only ones who manipulated Jesse by this point were Gus and Mike. They staged the assault on Jesse's first assignment and sweet-talked him against Walt to ultimately get the OK to kill Walt.Why did Gus have Jesse kidnapped?
Why then did Gus' men have to "pick up Pinkman" as Tyrus put it? Why would they need to guard him in the lab at gunpoint? Short simple answer. He needed him to cook, and knew Jesse was about as flaky as a damned snow storm.Why did Gus fire Walt?
Additionally, Walt's ego began to grow while under Gus' control, and Gus knew that Walt would eventually become just as unpredictable and untrustworthy as Jesse initially was. At first, Gus fired Walt and ordered him to stay away from the lab, proclaiming that Jesse would be in charge of the cooking.Did Gus see Walt on the roof?
