Gus curtly ends the call and tells Lydia to give Mike a security badge if she does not want him to steal other employees. Later, Lydia calls Gus to complain about Mike. Finding herself at an impasse with Mike, Lydia warns him that he still has Gus's respect and advises him not to lose it. Mike refuses, asserting that publicly performing his duties as Madrigal's security consultant reinforces his cover story. Lydia summons Mike to ask him to stop testing the security of the Madrigal facilities. She also corrects Mike on how he doesn't really know Gus in assuming he is "just a drug dealer".
She explained to him the process of laundering his money, giving him the phony job title "logistic consultant," which exists as merely a paper transaction in order to give him legal means of transferring his illegally obtained money into a bank account. Later, Lydia met Mike Ehrmantraut when he came to the Madrigal office in Houston. Gus told her that "it could work," in reference to its suitability as a site for what would become the superlab. In 2003, Lydia is present when Gus looks around the Lavandería Brillante industrial laundry complex when it was put up for sale. However, it appears that Lydia's partner or husband left the both of them, leaving Lydia to raise her daughter alone.Īt some point she became a partner to Gustavo Fring and Peter Schuler in their secret meth operation, assisting Gus in his distribution network and helping him procure necessary chemicals, equipment, and resources to aid in his expanding empire. She was eventually promoted to Head of Logistics and awarded a Platinum Award in recognition of "Outstanding Leadership in Business." She was at one point married or in a relationship, and eventually had a daughter named Kiira. Lydia is a long-time employee of the German manufacturing and shipping conglomerate Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, operating out of their office in Houston, Texas. News reports shortly thereafter revealed Lydia to be under investigation for her ties to Walter White and to not be expected to survive her poisoning. After deciding to kill everyone who betrayed him, Walt fatally poisoned Lydia with ricin. Lydia then helped Jack Welker's Gang improve the quality of their meth. Business thrives for months, until Walt decides to quit. Knowing that she's next on the chopping block, Lydia finds another way to become invaluable to Walt: she becomes his business partner, expanding his meth empire to Europe. She tells Walt about a train carrying a huge amount of methylamine through New Mexico, and helps them plan the perfect robbery.Īfter Walt kills Mike, he obtains the names of Gus' imprisoned associates from Lydia and has them killed. Since her supply is now compromised, Lydia tries to regain her value before the guys decide to kill her anyway. He insists to Walt and Jesse that she needs to be killed, until they discover that the DEA secretly planted tracking devices on every methylamine barrel in the Madrigal warehouse. When a GPS tracking device is discovered on the barrel of methylamine that Lydia planned to give Jesse, Mike suspects Lydia is working with the DEA. At the last minute, he offers clemency on the condition that she supplies methylamine to Walt's new meth operation. Mike outmaneuvers the hitman, and nearly kills Lydia for her deception. When Mike refuses, she hires someone else to kill Mike and Gus' other associates. After Gus' death, Lydia asks Mike Ehrmantraut to eliminate any loose ends that might connect her to the world of organized crime.
