Breaking Bad

Walter is recording a farewell to his family.

A man wearing nothing but his undergarments and a gas mask careens his RV down a desolate highway in the New Mexico desert. In the passenger seat, another man is passed out, also wearing a gas mask, his head on the dashboard. Two bodies slide across the RV floor until the vehicle veers into a ditch. The hyperventilating driver, Walter White, climbs out, dons the shirt still hanging off the side view mirror (his pants are long since gone), then re-enters the van to retrieve a video camera, his wallet, and a gun. He records a cryptic, handheld farewell to his wife and son as sirens can be heard in the distance. He then places the camera alongside his wallet, walks onto the road, and awaits the approach of the emergency services, gun in hand.

Walter White finishes having sex with his wife (starting off from where the last episode ends) and gets up to wash up in the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror.

Twelve hours before, a Native American man tows their RV from a ditch, a pants-less Walt and a black-eyed Jesse Pinkman thank him profusely and hand him a wad of cash. As Walt attempts to get the RV started, they argue, with Jesse's reluctance, to park the RV at Jesse's house and part ways for the time being. We see that Walt's gas mask is being forgotten, still behind a rock at the crash site. They agree that this partnership will end as soon as they deal with the bodies of Emilio Koyama and Krazy-8 lying in the back. As Walt turns the key in the ignition, finally getting the engine to turn over, a sound alerts them to the fact that one of the "dead" men isn't dead.

Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, barely able to refrain from vomiting, scrub up the hydrofluoric acid-dissolved remains of Emilio Koyama. The grisly scene at Jesse's house takes Walt back to his younger days. In a flashback, he is seen in a laboratory with a female lab partner and they are analyzing the human body's chemical composition. After discovering that only 99 percent of the body's makeup is accounted for chemically, Walt muses that there has to be more to a human being than that. Back in the present Walt's older self flushes another bloody bucketful down the toilet.

Hank Schrader puts his DEA team on notice that "new players in town" are making super-pure meth. Operation "Icebreaker" turns into operation TBD (To Be Determined) when Steven Gomez jokes that "Icebreaker" is the name of a breath mint. Hank describes the "new players" as being of a high skill set. We then cut to Walter White, standing at his bathroom mirror in his underwear, messily brushing his teeth.

Jesse Pinkman, wearing jacket and tie, interviews for a job at Arroyo Realty but bails upon discovering that the job would require him to wear a full-body costume advertising the same realty company. He comes across an old friend, Badger, wearing the costume, and they smoke a joint together in an alley. Jesse says he's thinking of retiring from the crystal business. Badger offers to partner up if he ever gets back in.

Walter White, back in business with Jesse Pinkman, enters the RV and surveys the damage. He sternly gives Jesse a lecture, telling how things will be from now on. He tells him that he wants to be the "silent partner," his "realm" is only the chemistry and Jesse's is the street. As far as customers, Walt wants nothing to do with them "No more bloodshed." This scene is intercut with shots of a bald man calmly walking through a group of bikers on a street littered with smoldering debris, various car alarms blaring. He is holding a white bag with a red stain on it. As we pan up and his face is revealed, we see that this bald man is actually Walt and we are in a flashforward.

At J. P. Wynne High School, Walter White and Skyler White attend a meeting to update faculty and parents on the chem-lab thefts. Seated next to each other, Walt begins to stroke Skyler's thigh under the table. She resists at first but then revels in the erotic moment, which is cut short when Walt is called upon. However, later in the parking lot, the two have sex in Walt's car. "Where did that come from?" she asks. "And why was it so damn good?" "Because it was illegal," Walt replies.

We open on black & white shots of a backyard. We pan over to reveal what appears to be a bobber in a pool of water. The bobber is then sucked into the drain of the pool as we go under the water to find a floating pink teddy bear. As the face of bear slowly turns to face us, we see that half of its body is burned, and what we thought was a bobber was actually the doll's left eye.

Out in the desert, a red lowrider riddled with bullet holes bounces wildly on its hydraulic suspension system, shedding glass fragments from its shattered rear windshield. Spent casings and drops of blood litter the ground. A body lies behind the car, half hidden from view. As the license plate reading "THECAPN" is finally revealed, we realize this is Jesse Pinkman's car.

Walter White and Jesse Pinkman bury Tuco Salamanca's gun in the desert, then split up, hatching a plan to explain away their days of absence. Walt hitches a ride back to civilization in a pickup truck. Shortly, in a supermarket, a clerk follows a trail of clothes littering the floor to find Walt, weak and confused, walking naked down an aisle.

We return to the eerie scene as first depicted in the season premiere. The same charred, pink teddy bear floats around an empty swimming pool. A figure in a hazmat suit leans over into the pool and spots the teddy bear, then retrieves it with a pool skimmer. Placing it into an evidence bag, they lay the teddy bear on the ground next to other collected objects, also wrapped in evidence bags, carefully organized along the side of the pool. The line of random objects ends with a pair of eyeglasses, very reminiscent of Walter White's.

Two men carrying small bundles swim across a muddy river. Once ashore, one of them stumbles and turns to find he's tripped over a dental grill encased in a Lucite cube: Hank Schrader's souvenir from his encounter with Tuco Salamanca.

Jesse Pinkman stands alone on a sidewalk, he crouches down and cautiously examines a large beetle as it wanders the pavement. Skinny Pete approaches, notices the same beetle and immediately crushes it underfoot without a second thought. Jesse shoots him a baffled frown, but says nothing. Skinny Pete, oblivious, hands Jesse the name and address of the junkie that robbed him.

"So let me get this straight," Jesse says. "You got jacked by a guy named Spooge." Pete doesn't know the name of Spooge's accomplice, "She's just his woman," he says, but he tells Jesse that these two "need to get got."

A narcocorrido band performs "Negro y Azul" (Black and Blue), in which "a gringo boss" named Heisenberg disrespects the Mexican drug cartel by cornering the Albuquerque market with high-quality blue crystal. "That homie's already dead," goes the refrain, "he just doesn't know it yet."

The episode opens with Badger siting at a bus stop. A nerdy guy sits down on the bench and asks him if he's selling. Badger almost immediately laughs him off, convinced that the guy has to be an undercover cop: he even points out the multiple vans "inconspicuously" parked nearby and guesses that they're surveillance vehicles. The customer, somewhat annoyed with Badger's behavior, lifts his shirt to show that he's not wearing a wire as Badger suspects, and almost starts to walk away before Badger apologizes. Still, Badger explains that he can't sell to the guy, because there's no way to be sure that he isn't a cop. So the customer explains that a cop can't deny that he's a cop if you ask him directly, saying "it's in the Constitution". Delighted, Badger asks him if he's a cop. The customer says "no", the two make a deal for some blue meth, and the customer starts to walk away. A split second later, the customer suddenly turns around and pulls out a gun and badge, arresting Badger on the spot.

Walter White undergoes tests to see if the chemo and radiation therapies have reduced the size of his tumor. His doctor won't share the results for another four days, but glimpsing the scan’s image Walt notices a large white spot on top of his lung.

The episode opens on the pink teddy bear previously seen in other episodes ("Seven Thirty-Seven") ("Down"). The bear is placed into a container along with the other retrieved items as people in hazmat suits continue to clean the area. From behind a broken windshield, we see two of them carrying out the container, teddy bear sitting on top. Another person in a hazmat suit takes a photograph of the windshield, which we suddenly see is of Walt's Aztek. As it becomes clear that this is a flashforward, we pan up higher to reveal two body bags (with remains inside) lying in the driveway in front of the White Residence.

Combo, casually sipping a fountain drink, is standing on a street corner. It becomes clear that he is selling, presumably on new territory. Near by, a young boy, Tomás Cantillo, is riding his bike. A car pulls up and Combo crosses the street to meet the two men inside.

When the two men don't respond, Combo raises his shirt and shows them the silver pistol in his waistband. The two men pull off. Combo returns back to the corner as the two men in the car then circle the block. They begin watching him as they sit at the intersection. Nervous, Combo calls Skinny Pete, telling him that he's "gettin' eyeballed hard" and may need backup. While he talks, Tomas circles him while riding his bike. Moments later, the driver honks the horn to his car. A split second later, Tomas produces a pistol and shoots Combo in the chest. The two of them both share terrified expressions. Tomas hesitates for a second, but then shoots Combo again. Combo drops his drink and tries to run away, yet he only makes it to the middle of the street before Tomas finishes him off. Tomas and the two dealers then flee the scene as Combo bleeds to death.

Having successfully delivered the meth to Gus, Walter White races into the parking lot of an abandoned motel where he calls the hospital and learns that Skyler White has given birth. He ditches his spare tire and stashes a duffel bag in the tire well.

At the hospital, Walt greets Skyler and tenderly holds his daughter before noticing Ted Beneke standing behind him, who had driven Skyler to the hospital. "I just wish you had been here," Skyler tells Walt after Ted leaves. Later, Walt runs home to retrieve Skyler's overnight bag and unload his duffel, which is packed with his million-plus of cash.

We return to the flashforward from previous episodes ("Seven Thirty-Seven") ("Down") ("Over"). Workers from the NTSB load the items collected from Walter White's pool (including the singed, one-eyed, pink teddy bear) into the back of a van. We watch as the van pulls out, panning up over Walter's house to reveal the city, with two giant pillars of black smoke rising in the distance and helicopters hovering overhead.

Men and women crawl on their bellies up a dusty, adobe-lined desert road. A Mercedes stops alongside the crawling sacrificial procession. Two men exit the car; both wear well-cut suits and cowboy boots tipped with silver skulls. They look so alike, they might be brothers, even twins, but we will come to know them as "the Cousins."

They too begin to crawl with the others. The procession winds to a candlelit shrine to Santa Muerte, a skulled Mexican deity representing death. The two men rise to their feet. One makes an offering; the other pins something to the shrine: a crude sketch of Heisenberg.

Walter White drives to work, singing along to the song "A Horse with No Name." He's pulled over by a policeman, who writes Walt a ticket for driving with a cracked windshield. Walt tries to explain that the car was damaged by debris raining down from the Wayfarer 515 collision, but to no avail. "Hellfire rained down on my house!" Walt screams, "there were body parts strewn everywhere", ignoring the officer's instructions to calm down. Moments later, a pepper-sprayed Walt is thrust into the patrol car, eyes bulging red and streaming.

In a flashback sequence, Hank Schrader's DEA informant, the late Tortuga, holds court at a seedy Mexican cantina. Tortuga receives a birthday present — a large tortoise — from "El Jefe," his boss. "It's perfect!" says Tortuga, delighted until the boss writes "HOLA DEA" (translation : 'Hello/Hey/Hi DEA') on the reptile's back. The Cousins step out of a back room. One holds Tortuga down as the other cuts off his head with a machete.

At a desert gas station, Jesse Pinkman fills the RV's tank. Realizing that he's short on cash, he charms the cashier girl into taking some freshly manufactured blue meth as payment instead. She's reluctant, admitting only having smoked pot before, but intrigued nonetheless. Just then, a police officer enters the store, Jesse plies on the pressure for her to take the deal. As the officer gets to the counter behind Jesse, she finally relents and takes it.

In a flashback to the pilot episode, Walter White hands Jesse Pinkman all his remaining life's savings to purchase an RV. Instead, Jesse heads to a strip club with Skinny Pete and Combo and spends the cash on a night-long bender filled with lap dances and champagne. Come morning, only $1,400 remains, and a panicked Jesse sobering to the fact he's F'd up again, might have to leave town. But Combo comes to his rescue, in what he describes as "a no paperwork-type deal," offers to supply Jesse with a white & brown RV for just that price. (Which he seems to be stealing from someone else and pocketing the money.)

A tribal police officer is dispatched to investigate the possible disappearance of an elderly woman that resides on a reservation outside of Albuquerque. At her property, out behind the outhouse, he finds her body and evidence that someone else has taken up residence - two black men's shirts, hanging out to dry. "Whoever's in there, show yourself!" the officer shouts. One of the Cousins, Leonel, steps out of the house, distracting the cop while the other sneaks up behind the officer and attacks him with an axe, dispatching him with a number of blows.

In Mexico, two young boys fight over a toy until one breaks it. We realize we are in a flashback when nearby, a much younger, spryer Hector Salamanca talks on his 1980s-era 'brick' cell phone, disparaging the "chicken man" as a 'dirty Sudaca'.

The call finished, one young boy, Leonel, complains to his Tio Hector about the broken toy, claiming that he wishes his brother was dead. Tio calls the brother, Marco, over and shoves his head in a tub of icy water where he's keeping his beers. "This is what you wanted? Your brother dead, right?" asks Tio as he's drowning Marco. Leonel starts hitting Tio, who only finally releases Marco when he's struck harder in the face. Standing up, looming over them... "Family is all," declares a bloody-nosed Hector.

In the present, the Cousins light candles at a makeshift Santa Muerte shrine. In the center, they place a photo of Hank Schrader.

Jesse Pinkman, still weak and bruised, is wheeled out of the hospital by an orderly. As he waits outside for his ride, avidly lighting up a cigarette, an ambulance arrives from the scene of the parking lot shooting carrying a critically wounded Hank Schrader and comes to a stop outside the loading dock. Two emergency room doctors come out and work with paramedics to unload Hank. Intrigued, Jesse wheels himself over to see what's going on. He is shocked when he recognizes Hank as the patient on the stretcher. Jesse can hardly believe his eyes, and follows the doctors as they wheel Hank to the operating room for immediate surgery. Jesse then returns outside and waits, and is eventually picked up by Skinny Pete. When Jesse enters the car, Pete is shocked at Jesse's injuries and asks if he's okay with Jesse replying with a satisfied smile, "Actually, I'm great."

A Los Pollos Hermanos commercial extols the chain's (apocryphal) history and the secret to its signature chicken. The commercial transitions (via a never-ending trail of sparkling blue crystals) to Walt and Jesse Pinkman at the superlab, handing off a shipment of blue sky, which ends up at Gustavo Fring's chicken farm. Victor supervises workers as they submerge plastic bags of the blue meth into specially UV-marked tubs of fry batter for shipment across the Southwest. As the trucks are loaded up and begin heading exiting the facility, Gus' silhouette can be seen as he oversees the entire operation.

In a flashback, we find Jesse Pinkman and Jane Margolis taking in Georgia O'Keeffe's painting, "My Last Door." Unimpressed, Jesse argues that O'Keeffe painted the same door over and over attempting to achieve perfection, and doesn't understand why she'd bother. To Jane, the repetition was about making a good feeling last. Her point made, Jane extinguishes her cigarette, marked with an impression of her pink lipstick, in the ashtray. (The same butt seen noticed by Jesse in the previous episode.)

We open to a musical montage sequence of Wendy turning tricks outside "The Crystal Palace" - and how it's become a repeat daily grind, day after day. Her finances replenished, she exchanges cash and burgers for blue meth with the rival dealers. Jesse Pinkman, nearby in his car, watches the deal go down... and ponders.

In a flashback to roughly 16 years ago, a real estate agent shows a younger Walter White and Skyler White (pregnant with Walter White Jr.) the house where they'll eventually live. Walt, then working at the prestigious Sandia Laboratory and envisioning a bright future with three children, worries they aren't setting their sights high enough with this house. "We've got nowhere to go but up," he says.

In a flashback, Gale Boetticher excitedly unpacks sterling new high-tech lab equipment, making notes in a distinctive journal labeled "Lab Notes" - he is setting up the superlab. Gustavo Fring visits Gale in the lab to check on his process. Gale then praises the blue meth Gus gave him to analyze — it's beyond the purity that he, or anyone else he knows of, could produce - a 96% to 99% purity difference, which doesn't seem much but is in fact quite major. Gus politely demurs, saying the chemist responsible wouldn't make a suitable partner due to other considerations. Gale insists on the superiority of this blue meth — he says that they "have their work cut out for them" if that is their competition, and he knows the value Gus puts on perfection. Gus reconsiders; it seems Gale has just talked Gus into hiring Walter White.



Summary

Gale's corpse

Back in the present, Jesse Pinkman stands in Gale's doorway, having just shot him. Jesse is in a state of shock, with red flooded eyes, he can hardly flee when he does. Moments later, Victor pushes his way through a small group of neighbors, including one on the phone to 911, and finds Gale dead, shot through the eye. Outside, Victor spots a shell-shocked Jesse in his car. Victor jumps in and orders Jesse to drive at gunpoint.

At the lab, Walt and Mike Ehrmantraut stare each other down, Walt fearing for his life. Victor returns with Jesse and for a moment Walt thinks Jesse failed and it's possibly the end for them both. But on seeing the state of Jesse Walt realizes he must've triumphed, he breathes again. To Mike it's clear he failed; Gale is dead. He's not looking forward to calling the boss.

Mike asks if Victor performed a sweep of Gale's apartment. Victor replies that he couldn't because people were already there. When Mike asks if he was seen, he admits he was, but is certain they mistook him for "just another looky-Lou."

Early the next morning, Marie Schrader appears at Skyler White's house with a stack of unpaid medical bills. Seeing Walt's car, she assumes Walt and Skyler have reunited. After Marie leaves, Skyler moves Walt's car to a nearby street so Walter, Jr. won't ask questions when he wakes up.

Back at the lab, Walt explains the new reality to Mike and Victor: like it or not, he's the only one who can maintain the meth production schedule. In response, Victor switches on the equipment. "We ain't missin' no cook," he says defiantly. Now Walt and Jesse have a new problem - if Victor can manage a cook by himself.

Saul Goodman, frantically scouring every inch of his office for bugs, receives a call from Skyler asking where Walt is. Returning her call by payphone, Saul lies and assures her Walt is fine; then he tells his new bodyguard, Huell Babineaux, that they might need to leave town.

Skyler drives with Holly to Walt's apartment. When no one answers the door, she convinces a locksmith, Adam, to break the law and let her inside by feigning a panic attack, which she does perfectly convincingly. (Skyler is fast becoming quite the expert deceiver.) Searching the apartment, she finds no clues to Walt's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Marie gushes about Hank's progress in physical therapy. Hank dismisses the compliment; she's exaggerating, since he only covered sixteen feet in twenty minutes. Humiliated and defeated, he asks Marie to help him use his bedpan.

At the lab, Jesse remains nearly catatonic while Walt waits and hopes for Victor to miss a step in the cook. He doesn't. Gus arrives and Walt immediately tries to defend his and Jesse's actions. Gus wordlessly changes into one of the lab's orange clean-up suits. As he becomes more nervous and agitated, Walt blames Gus for Gale's death: did Gus really think that Walt wouldn't take "extreme measures" to defend himself? Gus says nothing and Walt, panic mounting, taunts Victor with rapid-fire questions pertaining to the chemistry of the meth-making process, attempting to convince all that he and Jesse are indeed still needed.

It's called "a cook" for a reason, counters Victor, you follow a recipe. And he's sure he knows the recipe as he's memorised all the steps. But Victor doesn't know the chemistry and can't fix problems that might arise, Walt challenges. Without him and Jesse, says Walt, the lab is just "an eight million dollar hole in the ground."

Gus picks up a box-cutter and walks menacingly toward Walt and Jesse. "You kill me," says Walt, "you have nothing. You kill Jesse, you don't have me."



Gus slicing Victor's throat with a box cutter

Gus crosses over to Victor, and continues staring at Walt and Jesse as Walt begs him to forget everything and let them get back to work. Suddenly, Gus grabs Victor and slashes his carotid artery with the box cutter. Victor struggles, but Gus pulls Victor's head back ensuring that the blood from the wound sprays on a shocked Jesse and Walt. Mike, dumbfounded, watches as his partner bleeds out and begins moving less and less. Walt can hardly meet Gus' icy stare. Jesse, grinding his teeth, locks eyes with Gus until, his face covered in blood, Gus pushes Victor's dead body to the floor. He walks past Walt and Jesse, dropping the box cutter. After calmly washing all the blood off his face, Gus silently changes back into his street clothes and walks out of the lab.

At the door, he turns and looks over the rail at Walk and Jesse. "Well?" he says. "Get back to work."

As Mike watches, Walt and Jesse squeeze Victor's body into a plastic drum then pour in hydrofluoric acid. "You sure it'll do the job?" Mike asks. "Trust us," Jesse replies. Walt seals the drum, which is shipped off with a load of hazardous material.

Later at a diner, Jesse eats ravenously, while Walt appears shaken. Walt asks Jesse what their next move should be, "given the fact that at his first opportunity Gus will kill us." Jesse disagrees; if Gus wanted them dead, he would've done it at the superlab. Walt replies that they merely bought time until Gus finds another chemist.

"Good luck with that," laughs Jesse, eerily unaffected, adding that everyone is on the same page now: "The one that says if I can't kill you, you'll sure as shit wish you were dead."

Walt arrives at Skyler's house in a cab but can't find his car. Skyler meets him in the driveway and tells him she moved it to avoid questions from Walter, Jr. She does not ask him where he's been, she simply directs Walt to his car and returns to the house. Walt smiles, and seems optimistic that he's making some headway with Skyler.

At Gale's, Albuquerque PD processes the scene. Gale's "Lab Notes" journal sits in plain sight on his coffee table.

Trivia

Skyler finds the Teddy Bear eye from Seasons 2-3

A bedridden Hank is shown bidding on a magnesite crystal on a fictional auction site called "MineralEmporium.com". The url displayed in the browser is actually a local file on Hank's laptop: "C:\Users\Mad Props\Desktop\Mineral Emporium screen\ebay hero.html". MineralEmporium.com in fact redirects to www.breakingbad-tv.com/ and that redirects finally to www.sonypictures.com/tv/breakingbad/.[1]

The box cutter Gus uses to kill Victor is presumably the same one used by Gale to cut open the boxes containing the equipment at the beginning of the episode. It's later use is foreshadowed in the earlier scene, and is an example of Chekhov's Gun.[2]

The production designer says he and Gilligan chose the type of box cutter on purpose: the green color was easy to see on the red floor.

The box cutter model used in episode is the RSG-383 QuickBlade Safety Grip by Pacific Handy Cutter, Inc.[3]



Gus's actions towards Victor in this episode contradict his previous statement in "Green Light" about fear not being an effective motivator.

During a scene when Gale's neighbor calls police to report his murder, a clock in Gale's apartment reads 10:13. This is a deliberate reference to the number 1013, which frequently appeared in The X-Files, where Vince Gilligan worked as a writer and producer. It refers to the October 13 birthday of X-Files creator Chris Carter. See references to The X-Files.

Gale's apartment contains several Persian rugs similar to the rugs used in the film The Big Lebowski (1998). The Dude's original rug was soiled by urine. Gale's rug is soiled by his own blood.

The scene in the diner is clearly an homage to a similar scene in Pulp Fiction (1994). Vincent and Jules share breakfast after cleaning up Marvin's murder with assistance from The Wolf. Vincent and Jules are uncharacteristically wearing T-shirts because their clothes were covered in blood.

During this scene Walt and Jesse are wearing matching T-shirts with country music singer Kenny Rogers on them. The T-shirts are deliberately not explained in the episode, but Vince Gilligan said he believed Mike simply bought the first articles of clean clothing he could find for Walter and Jesse after their clothes were soaked with Victor's blood.

Walter's still retains the sticker with the shirt size - "Large".

The T-shirts displaying Kenny Rogers could also be a reference to his most well-known song, 'The Gambler', which would be associated with Walt's gambling story or the risk Walt took in choosing to kill Gale. Rogers other well-known hits "She Believes In Me," "Coward of the County," "Islands in the Stream," "We've Got Tonight," and "Lucille" also offer ironic interpretations for this episode. Rogers also sang "Just Dropped In" with First Edition, a song about coming off of a drug-induced high used in the film The Big Lebowski.



When Mike asks if the hydrofluoric acid will work, Jesse says, "Trust us," referring to their use of hydrofluoric acid to dissolve Emilio Koyama's body in "Cat's in the Bag...".

Memorable Quotes





"Alright, let's talk about Gale Boetticher. He was a good man and a good chemist. He didn't deserve what happened to him. He didn't deserve it at all. But I'd shoot him again and tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. When you make it Gale versus me, or Gale versus Jesse, Gale loses! Simple as that. This is on you, Gus, not me, not Jesse. I mean really, what'd you expect me to do? Just simply roll over and allow you to murder us? That I wouldn't take measures – extreme measures – to defend myself? Wrong! Think again."

―Walter to Gustavo Fring.









"I walked sixteen feet in twenty minutes, which is up from like fifteen-and-a-half yesterday. And I had maybe this much less shit in my pants. So, yeah, Marie, if you and him and everybody else in America secretly took a vote and changed the meaning of the entire English language, yeah, I guess I broke new ground."

―Hank while recovering from The Cousins' attack.

This episode aired on July 24, 2011 . Directed by Michelle MacLaren .

In a motel room, Walter White purchases a thirty-eight snub with a filed off serial number from Lawson, an illicit gun dealer procured by Saul. Watching Walt awkwardly draw the weapon, Lawson advises Walt to keep practising his draw. He tells Walt that as long as this gun is for defense, there is little sense in him carrying an illegal firearm. But Walt says he wants it this way "just in case" — from the look on his face it's clear 'legal' isn't what he's looking for.



Summary

Having coffee at a bar, Mike Ehrmantraut discovers Victor's dried blood on his jacket sleeve. He wipes it off, unsettled.

Jesse Pinkman shows off his powerful new sound system to Badger and Skinny Pete. He then tempts his friends — who are in recovery, "12 steps and all" — with coke. Badger and Skinny Pete quickly cave, get high and discuss the finer points of video game zombies. Jesse decides to throw a party and the house quickly fills with dozens of people drinking and dancing.

At his condo, Walt practices drawing the revolver; he's getting better and better.

Marie Schrader wakes in the middle of the night to find Hank Schrader examining his minerals. When she mentions how late it is, he pointedly notes that the house has other bedrooms.

The next morning, Walt chastises Skyler White for discussing their intention to buy a car wash over the phone. They're not talking about purchasing a brothel, she counters, adding that if Walt isn't "willing to pull the trigger" on the deal then she'll contact Saul Goodman directly. That gets Walt's attention — he can't let that happen — and they start to talk it over.

Jesse, meanwhile, tiptoes through the passed-out partygoers. Peeling off some large bills, Jesse instructs Badger to buy everyone breakfast and keep the party going until he returns.

At the lab, Walt tucks his gun in his belt, waiting for Gustavo Fring to arrive. When someone enters the laboratory and appears at the top of the stairs, Walt prepares to draw. Only instead of Gus, who arrives is actually Victor's replacement, Tyrus Kitt, there to pick up the latest batch. When Mike demands a second weighing ("new policy") Walt asks to see Gus to "clear the air." "You're never gonna see him again," Mike replies.

Surveilling the car wash from across the street, Skyler tallies the cars and services each customer receives, making a detailed accounting of the business.

At the Schrader house, Hank pushes himself to "soldier up" through a tough physical therapy session. Marie is elated by Hank's progress, but after the therapist departs, Hank coldly orders her out of the room.

The party is in full swing at Jesse's house when he returns from the lab. Andrea rings the doorbell, but waits outside to speak with him. She asks Jesse if he sent her an envelope of cash the night her brother's killers were murdered. Jesse acknowledges he did, then urges her to use the money to move her son Brock to a better neighborhood.

Late that night, Walt approaches Gus's house, gun in hand, but loses his nerve when Tyrus calls, telling him, "Go home, Walter." Surprised, he looks all around but sees nothing. But, it seems his every move is being watched.

The next day, a deliveryman arrives at the Schrader home with box upon box of minerals. Hank instructs Marie to check each box for damage. "They're rocks," she replies, bristling. He corrects her, "they're minerals," and some of them are very delicate. Once again, Hank treats her unkindly and Marie feels it acutely.

At the car wash, Skyler approaches Bogdan Wolynetz with a proposal to buy his business. He derisively asks for $10 million; Skyler counters with $879,000 then shows him detailed research of his expenses and revenues. $20 million, Bogdan replies. "This is the price for Walter White," he says, because Walt insulted him by quitting, grabbing his crotch, and "sending his woman" to make the offer instead of coming himself. This last accusation clearly angers Skyler, who walks out in a huff.

Walt approaches Mike at a bar and tells him that his recent actions were motivated by loyalty to Jesse and self-defense. Walt says that he believes that Mike was just following orders when he tried to kill him. "There's a load off my mind," Mike drily replies. "So, what's with the piece?" Mike asks: he noticed Walt's gun at the lab.

Walt insists that he and Mike are in "the same boat," and that Gus could easily kill either of them. "Get me in a room with him," Walt says, "and I'll do the rest." Mike seems to consider the suggestion for a moment, then knocks Walt to the floor with a savage punch, and kicks him twice in the gut when he's down. Walt has his answer; Mike is not an ally here.

As Jesse's party finally breaks up, he asks Badger and Skinny Pete to stick around. Badger and Skinny Pete apologetically decline, disappointing a depressed Jesse who's desperate for the distraction. Alone in his house for the first time in days, Jesse cranks up the music to earsplitting levels, and sits against the shaking speaker, shaking. With fingers digging into his temples, Jesse starts to panic at being left with only the scary dark depths of his mind and his demons for company.

Trivia

Uncensored on home video. Some of the music featured during Jesse's party has some strong language. In the edited version, this language was muted.

The subtitles on TV commercial of Saul Goodman says: 'Settlement figures quoted are for illustration purposes only... Does not constitute a promise of results... Amounts referenced are before fees and expenses... Every case is different and must be judged on its own merits...'

The scene where Jesse, Badger, and Skinny Pete discuss why the pizza place (Venezia's Pizzeria) does not slice their own pizza comes from the scene in the episode "Caballo Sin Nombre" of season 3, where Walter throws a pizza onto the roof of his house, also unsliced. This caused a fan discussion of why the pizza was not sliced.

The title "Thirty-Eight Snub" refers not only to the type of gun Walter buys, but also to the various characters being snubbed throughout the episode. Gus snubs Walter when Mike says Walter will never see Gus again. The car wash owner Bogdan Wolynetz snubs Skyler when she asks to buy the carwash. Mike snubs Walter when Walter asks him at the bar to get him alone in a room with Gus. Hank snubs Marie during his treatment. And finally, Badger and Skinny Pete snub Jesse when they leave the house at the end of the episode refusing to party any longer.

Combinations of 3's and 8's occur often in Breaking Bad. The White residence is 308 Negro Arroyo Lane. In "4 days out" they cook 38 pounds of Meth, which they eventually end up selling to Gus in the episode "ABQ". In the episode "One Minute", the time on the clock is 3:07 when there is one minute left, and it then turns to 3:08 when the minute is up. And here in this episode Walt buys a 38 snub nose.

This is the first appearance of Lawson.

The scene in which Walter practices drawing his gun uses camera angles similar to the opening scene of the "Pilot".

When Jesse yells "Wake up and party!" the morning after the party at his house, the guest waking up in the frame is Bryan Cranston with a wig and different glasses.

This episode aired on July 31, 2011 . Directed by David Slade .

Walter White arrives at the superlab and hears the whirring sound of a surveillance camera tracking his every move: Gustavo Fring is watching him. Furious, he flips the bird to the camera.



Summary

Skyler White, frustrated because Walt won't return her calls, visits his apartment to discuss the car wash; Walt growls that he's facing far more pressing matters. Noticing the bruise on Walt's face from Mike Ehrmantraut's beating, Skyler tells Walt to go to the police, admit his crimes and tell them he fears for his life. That's the last thing Walt wants to do. At being pressed for details, Walt admits he got into a minor disagreement with a colleague over a 'business strategy', but the issue is resolved. Case closed: no police for Walt. Period. Skyler can hardly believe Walt's been in a "bar fight", then makes him promise she'll be informed if he's ever in danger.

Marie Schrader attends a residential open house, posing as a recently divorced woman with a gifted son that she wants to home school, apparently up to something.

Hank Schrader is watching softcore porn when Marie comes home. He quickly shuts off the television while Marie unpacks her shopping, along with a figurine she stole from the open house, hinting the resurface of her kleptomania.

At the lab, Walt grumbles about the surveillance camera to Jesse Pinkman, who shrugs it off; doesn't seem like that big a deal to him as they suspected it was bugged before anyway. He asks if Walt would like to race go-karts with him after work. Walt, confused and disinterested says he has other plans, then asks Jesse how he's doing and if there's anything he should know. Without answering, Jesse points to Walt's bruised eye and asks Walt the same.

At the condo with Walt and Skyler, Saul Goodman touts the Zen Nail Spa as the best way to launder money. "Ya bombed. It happens," Saul says about Skyler's attempt to purchase the car wash. Bogdan Wolynetz just needs an "attitude adjustment," contends Skyler, though she rules out instigating an IRS audit, INS raid or any violence.

Walt thinks the car wash is a bad idea. That is, until Skyler manipulates him by mentioning Bogdan's affronts to Walt's manhood. Now, Walt's on board and insists they buy the business.

Marie visits another open house and admires the owner's collection of spoons, describing herself to the agent as the childless wife of a retired astronaut. After the open house, the agent notices the spoon Marie remarked about is missing.

That evening, Jesse races go-karts alone, shouting at the top of his lungs (a touch of 'scream therapy') as he takes a curve. He arrives home to a meth party that's spiraling out of control, with people fighting, having rough sex and vandalizing the house. Jesse sits down, lights a cigarette, and impassively watches the chaos.

Marie attends another open house, this time presenting herself to its owners as the globetrotting wife of an illustrator, but she exits swiftly after the agent from the previous house recognizes her. Outside, the agent accuses her of stealing and they tussle over Marie's purse. It falls to the ground, revealing a picture frame Marie lifted from inside, with the photo of the couple as irrefutable proof of her theft.

Hank, in bed, takes a phone call from Marie, from the police station. "Are you seriously doing this to me again?" Hank snarls, instructing her to sit tight while he makes a call.

At the police station, Hank's colleague Sgt. Tim Roberts tells Marie that the homeowners are not pressing charges. When he asks if she wants to go home, Marie starts sobbing, unable to speak.

While surrounded by the suds from Holly's baby bottles, Skyler is struck by an idea and calls Saul.

On Walt and Skyler's orders, Saul sends a henchman named Patrick Kuby to the car wash, wearing a Bluetooth headset to pose as an environmental inspector. Kuby shows water samples to Bogdan and declares they're full of contaminants. Bogdan must replace his entire wastewater treatment system, and the state requires he cease operations until it's back up to code, Kuby says. Then we see that Skyler is feeding Kuby lines via her cell phone — this is her big idea, but it's not clear if the very frustrated Bogdan is biting.

Tim visits Hank to solicit his help — as "a pal I just did a favor for" — in solving the Gale Boetticher murder. Showing Hank a copy of Gale's lab notebook, Tim speculates that it "pertains to some kind of methamphetamine superlab." Hank dismisses Tim's overture as "some sort of a charity thing," but halfheartedly agrees to review the notebook. He dismissively sets it on a pile of his minerals.

At Skyler's house, after the phony environmental inspection, Walt and Skyler wait on word from Bogdan. Walt believes the scheme has failed, but Skyler refuses to concede. The phone rings — it's Bogdan calling with an offer to sell the car wash for $879,000. Skyler reduces her offer to $800,000, ignoring Walt's protests and hanging up when Bogdan balks. Walt thinks she's pushed it too far, Skyler disagrees. A few moments later, just as Skyler is fearing Walt is proven right, Bogdan calls back, and Skyler smiles with a hint of success.

In his living room, Jesse balls up fifty-dollar bills and tosses them at the open mouth of a pants-less party guest passed out on the floor. "Yeah, bitch!" exclaims Jesse when he finally makes a shot, but no one reacts. Trying to breathe some life into the very unsavory and lethargic crowd, Jesse tosses his remaining cash into the air and watches his guests scramble after it. That lifts his spirits, but only for a moment.

In a nearby car, Victor's replacement, Tyrus Kitt, watches Jesse's house, keeping tabs on his decline.

At the White house, Walt toasts Skyler's unexpected success with a $320 bottle of champagne, which bothers Skyler. How does it look for an unemployed school teacher to make such a purchase? Walt accuses her of overreacting. "One slip-up in our story — that could ruin us," she argues. Then adds, it was the 'insignificant' duct-tape that lead to the whole Watergate Scandal thing, to illustrate her point. To which Walt says, "I'm not Richard Nixon," and insists she's just being paranoid. He stresses it was just one bottle of champagne, paid for in cash, and no one saw him. Walt, it seems, is unable to enjoy any part of his ill-gotten gains.

Late at night, Hank watches television. Bored, anxious, and sleepless, he reaches for Gale's lab notebook and begins reading...

Trivia

The footage shown from the first-person perspective of Gus' camera is actual footage from the real camera.

The title of this episode refers to Marie's visits to multiple selling houses and taking articles on display, her kleptomania present again. Aditionally, the title refers to Jesse leaving his house's doors open to strangers and junkies, even allowing them to take his possessions and destroying his house.

The Go-Kart facility shown was often used by Aaron Paul and crew in their off time. The location is Albuquerque Indoor Karting .

The junkie's monologue starting from "thousands of them all over the world coming right for us" is describing a zombie attack. On S4E02 of The Walking Dead, there is a scene of zombies pushing each others through a chain link fence.

The champagne enjoyed by Walt and Skyler after sealing the car wash deal is a bottle of vintage Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, produced by the expensive label Pol Roger. (Apparently Churchill's favourite so they just named it after him.)

Memorable Quotes





Skyler: "I don't accept that. I don't accept that he won't sell. I think he just lacks the proper...motivation."

Saul: "Motivation? Uh, as in motivation motivation? Just so we're on the same page here, you're saying we'll make him an offer he can't refuse?"

Skyler: "Nothing so dramatic as that, no. Motivation. Attitude adjustment."

Saul: "Ho ho ho ho! This one, she's a keeper."

―Skyler and Saul on how to push Bogdan to sell his business.









Saul: "Look, there's always, "You gotta real nice place here. It'd be a shame if something happened to it." That angle."

Skyler: "What are you talking about? Violence?"

Saul: "Attitude adjustment."

Skyler: "Oh no, that, no. That is not at all what I meant. We do not do that. That is not who we are, right?"

Walter: "[slight pause] Yeah, no, no, no. She's right."

―Skyler, Saul, and Walter about "Attitude adjustment".









Skyler: "I don't like him. Bogdan. He was condescending to me, he was rude about you, and I do not like him. Simple as that."

Saul: "Hey, nobody appreciates a passionate woman more than I do, but in this business – and Walt can back me up on this – the number one rule is, "Don't take things personal."

Walter: "What do you mean rude about me?"

Skyler: "Something along the lines of you weren't man enough to face him yourself."

Walter: "What?"

Skyler: "That you had to send your woman to do your business for you."

Saul: "OK, uh, speaking as your lawyer, I'm gonna go on record and say this is a bad idea. Now I advise against–"

Walter: "It's this one."

―Skyler, Saul, and Walter on the choice of Bogdan's car wash.

This episode aired on August 7, 2011 . Directed by Colin Bucksey .

Mike Ehrmantraut huddles inside a Los Pollos Hermanos refrigerated truck driving down a rural highway. The peace is suddenly interrupted by the sound of screeching tires as the truck is forced off the road by armed cartel gunmen. Recognizing that they're being attacked, Mike pulls out his pistol and cautiously listens as the gunmen pull the driver out of the cab and shoot him in the head. Mike hunkers down and draws a pistol as the two gunmen raise MP5K submachine guns and open fire on the truck, riddling it with bullets. Thinking that they've killed anyone inside, the gunmen break open the back doors. The moment they step up, Mike pops up from behind some boxes and shoots both of them, killing them instantly. Mike holsters his pistol and climbs out of the truck. As he assesses the damage, he finds that a bullet has torn off a small piece of his right ear. He pokes at it, rolls his eyes, and swears under his breath...



Summary

In town, Skyler White and Walter White attend a Gamblers Anonymous meeting. Back at the house, they study card-counting strategies, rehearsing Skyler's scheme to convince the family that Walt won their car wash seed money by playing blackjack. After Walt loses several hands, they decide to emphasize his struggle to recover, rather than his skills.

Skyler hands Walt a meticulously detailed script she wants them to follow at dinner with Hank Schrader, Marie Schrader, and Walter White Jr. Walt is very dissatisfied with the script and reluctantly agrees to cooperate. He further reminds Skyler that he has been and still is providing for the family and is frustrated Skyler is painting him out to look so bad. "At least you've got skills," Skyler shoots back, "I'm just the bitch mom who wouldn't cut you any slack." Walt reassesses his attitude and again apologises to Skyler for getting her involved in this whole situation. 

At the Schrader home that night, Hank shows Walt and Walter, Jr. a DVD of Gale Boetticher singing karaoke, which was part of the package that was given to Hank in the last episode. Hank revels in mocking Gale's tape, which he finds hilarious. Walt is gobsmacked when he realises who's on the video and becomes increasingly uneasy, reminded of the murder, as he watches. At dinner, Skyler and Walt successfully pull off their made-up story, convincing other people that Walt indeed has a gambling problem. Walt is silently amazed at Skyler's tears-on-cue performance. Walt Jr. is most impressed and hopeful this means he'll be getting the car he's been pestering about for his birthday. Walt, to avoid all the questions, excuses himself to the bathroom but instead steals away to Hank's bedroom spying for information on Gale's murder. He shuffles through the files, is disconcerted by some crime scene shots of Gale's bloodied corpse, before finding Gale's lab notes. Just then he hears something, quickly puts back the file and runs out...

In the hallway, Walt almost collides into Hank in his wheelchair. Hank offers Walt a listening ear if ever he needs due to his gambling issues, and Walt seizes the opportunity and hints that he could equally look at the Gale Boetticher case for Hank, so they end up in Hank's bedroom, again looking over the files. Walt browses through Gale's lab notes from the superlab looking for any evidence that can be traced back to Jesse or himself. Hank believes Gale was Heisenberg, lamenting that he should've been the one to take him down. Walt asks more questions about the case, and Hank replies that there isn't much progress except some fingerprints.

Walt rushes to Jesse's house and asks him about any kind of evidence he might have left behind at Gale's place. Jesse, after being reminded about the murder, is speechless and can't seem to focus, unwilling to relive the experience. Walt insists that Jesse try to remember the event step by step, if he's sure he left to finger prints, but Jesse can't take it anymore and forces Walt out of the house by paying two of his 'guests' $100 each to play bouncer.

The next day, Walt tells Saul Goodman he fears that Hank will connect Jesse to the murder. Saul says there's nothing to worry about, but Walt catalogs his woes: Gustavo Fring wants to kill him, Jesse is out of control and Gus will eventually perceive Jesse as too big a risk. There's also "this stupid car wash" he's buying with Skyler, who naively thinks Walt can just walk away after his contract with Gus expires. Saul mentions that as a last resort, Walt can pay to have a “disappearer” vanish his family off the grid and set them up with new identities, but it should be a "last resort end-game" thing. Walt contemplates but rejects the idea, and they're stuck at an impasse.

The next morning, a tweaker watches Jesse head to his bedroom and come back with a wad of cash to keep the party going before leaving for work. He connects the dots: there's money to be had upstairs.

At the lab, Walt watches as the camera follows Jesse's every move—his worry over his partner amps up.

Jesse returns home and tosses the party guests some meth. He takes one of the party girls by the hand and takes her to his bedroom. In there, Jesse notices his money is missing but is eerily calm about it—he begins playing a videogame with the girls, nonchalantly. He really has hit rock-bottom beyond caring.

The next morning, Mike wakes Jesse and drags him downstairs, where the tweaker thief is blindfolded, beaten and a little worse for wear, on the floor beside Jesse's bag of cash and Tyrus Kitt. Mike makes him aware of the theft. Jesse coolly takes his money and walks away, telling Mike he isn't going to promise to "straighten up and fly right."

"You're on thin ice, you little shithead," Mike responds, asking if Jesse wants to know what will happen to the tweaker now. Jesse laughs. He knows Mike doesn't intend to kill the thief because he took the time to blindfold him. And either way, he doesn't seem to care what happens to him or the thief. He's not afraid of anything right now.

Mike meets with Gus and explains that Jesse is becoming a liability. Walt may not like it, Mike continues, but something has to be done.

In the lab, an incensed Walt tries in vain to reach Jesse as he handles the cook by himself. Afterwards, he rushes to Jesse's house cursing him all the way, where he finds Jesse's cell phone on the bedside table but no sign of his partner.

Walt returns to the lab. “Where is he?” Walt growls at the security camera.

Mike, driving on the highway with Jesse beside him, asks if Jesse wants to know where they're going. Calm, unaffected, Jesse says, "Nope," and they drive off into the desert.

Trivia

When Walt skims through Gale's notes at the Schraders' house, a Ron Paul 2008 sticker can be seen on one of the pages. Also, at one point, a comic strip from Gary Larson can be seen.

To create the bullet holes that strike the truck Mike is hiding inside, the special effects department drilled, wired and hand-planted 380 squib explosives onto the truck, including 150 on each side of the vehicle and 80 for the back door. Two sets of the back door were used, one for the view of shots being fired at the exterior of the door and one for the view of the interior.

For the scene with Mike waiting inside the refrigeration truck, series creator Vince Gilligan wanted audiences to be able to see his breath so they would know how cold it was. To create that effect, the special effects crew designed a tiny plastic box with holes in it and placed dry ice inside, which Banks kept inside his mouth to create condensation when he exhaled. The idea was based on a similar device film director Frank Capra previously used with his actors in one of his films, which Gilligan read about in Capra's autobiography.

The title "Bullet Points" is a possible triple reference, possibly to the Los Pollos Hermanos truck being shot at in the teaser; the bullet points Skyler used in the faux gambling addiction script that she and Walt were reading; and the discussion between Walt and Jesse about shooting Gale.

Memorable Quotes





"Where is the "I slept with my boss" bullet point? I can't seem to find that anywhere."

―Walter about the meticoulus script written by Skyler.









Hank: "Right here at the top it says: "To W.W. My star, my perfect silence." W.W. I mean, who do you figure that is? Woodrow Wilson? Willy Wonka? Walter White?"

Walter: "You got me."

―Hank and Walter joking about the mysterious W.W.









"Then what else should I not worry about, Saul, hm? Should I not worry that Gus plans to murder me at the first chance he gets? Should I not worry that my drug-addicted partner doesn't seem to care whether he lives or dies? You should see his house. It's like skid row! He has actual hobos living there! Now how long before Gus decides that he's too big of a risk? That guy Mike, that grunting dead-eyed cretin, sucker punching me in the face! I've got Gus wielding a box cutter! I mean...Western Union! Message received! Let me ask you, when did this stop being a business, hm? Why am I the only person capable of behaving in a professional manner?."

―Walt complains to Saul Goodman.

This episode aired on August 14, 2011 . Directed by Michelle MacLaren .

Walter White races through busy Albuquerque streets, dodging traffic while shouting instructions to Saul Goodman on his cell phone. If Walt doesn't return within 24 hours, Saul is to deliver all of Walt's money to Skyler White. Walt then calls Skyler and leaves a hurried message but trying not to sound desperate, telling her he loves her: evidently, Walt is heading into some kind of showdown and is aware he might not come out of it alive. He places his gun on the front passenger seat next to him in anticipation...



Summary

Armed with his .38, Walt storms into Los Pollos Hermanos and demands to speak with Gustavo Fring. The manager says that Gus isn't there, but Walt doesn't believe her. He states that he's seen Gus's car parked outside so he'll wait until Gus is called out. While he waits, Mike Ehrmantraut calls him to ask what he's doing, then tells him that Jesse Pinkman will be with him for the day, and puts a blase Jesse on the phone when Walt insists on speaking to him. Jesse confirms he's ok, does not have a gun pointed at him, but doesn't know where they're going. Mike then tells Walt that today he'll just have to handle the cook alone. Walt pushes his way into Gus' office only to be surprised that it's empty.

Out in the desert, Mike drives up a long dirt road. Despite seeming not to care whether he lives or dies, Walt's worry has set Jesse on edge so he positions his keys between his fingers to use as a probable weapon. He watches nervously as Mike exits the car and grabs a shovel from the trunk. Is this it? But Mike passes Jesse by and starts digging. After a few moments, Mike pulls a bag of money out of the ground and tosses it in the trunk. Mike tells Jesse that they have six more collections to make today and he wants to have it done before dark.

At home, Hank Schrader jokes with Tim about the oddball personality that Gale's notebook evokes: "it's like Scarface had sex with Mr. Rogers." He then identifies Badger and Jesse as the only people directly tied to the blue meth that he knows of. Hank admits to having "a history" with Jesse (referring to the savage beat-down he delivered last season) but doubts that Jesse murdered Gale. Finding Gale dead, the man he now believes is his Heisenberg, "feels like closure," so he no longer wants to contribute to the investigation. "I feel like I'm done," he apologizes.

Mike makes his next pickup at an abandoned warehouse and finds Jesse standing guard when he returns to the car. If he's accompanying Mike "in a guard-type capacity," says Jesse, then he needs a gun. He doesn't, Mike replies, implying he's not going to guard anything here.

As the pickups—shown in a sped-up montage set to humorous music—continue, Jesse becomes increasingly bored and frustrated. If he's riding shotgun as "the guy" on this assignment, then Mike should tell him what they're doing and why, or at very least get a little conversation going to help relieve his boredom.

Mike abruptly pulls the car over and barks that in no way is Jesse "the guy" (implying that Victor, whom Gus killed, had been his guy). There may be some reason Gus has for sending Jesse on this mission, but Mike does not know it. "Sit here, shut up, and stay in the car," Mike says.

In the lab, Walt has difficulty managing both his and Jesse's portions of the prep work. After starting the cook Walt returns home to sign papers finalizing the loan to buy the car wash. For them to succeed going forward, Skyler tells Walt, they have to be completely honest with each other. "I'm all for that," Walt assures her.

Skyler then plays her phone messages and hears Walt say that he loves her. The two stare at each other meaningfully for a moment, then rush into the bedroom in the heat of passion. Later, Walter Jr. arrives home and realizes that his parents are having (or just had) sex. Skyler frets over Walter Jr.'s reaction and suggests that Walt move back home "so it's easier to explain to everyone." Walt kisses Skyler in reply.

Later, back at the lab, Walt drops a barrel of methylamine while struggling with the forklift. Fed up, he screams at the security camera that the cook is a two-man job. He's not cooking anything until Jesse returns. A while later Tyrus Kitt arrives at the lab and operates the forklift for Walt. Jesse's not coming just because Walt asks for him.

Mike makes the final pickup of the evening at another abandoned warehouse. While he's inside, a second vehicle arrives, and Jesse notices one of its occupants approaching Mike's car with a shotgun. Jesse, convinced Mike is about to be robbed (or finally be "offed"), shifts into reverse, floors it, knocks the gunman to the ground, and slams into the other car. Then he peels out in an attempt to lose the gunman and his cohort.

A bit later, Jesse catches up with Mike elsewhere walking in town, picks him up, and explains what went down outside the warehouse. "I saw," says Mike, impressed enough to finally let Jesse smoke in his car.

The next morning, over coffee in the White's kitchen, Walter Jr. tells Walt, "Mom said you're moving back in.” It's news to Walt, whose face tightens even further when he notices that Walter Jr. is drinking out of a Beneke mug.

Later at the lab, Jesse tells Walt that he spent the previous day guarding Mike and bristles when Walt makes light of the notion, "What, you guarding Mike?" Two dudes tried to rob them, Jesse retorts, and he took care of business.

Mike and Gus rendezvous outside Los Pollos Hermanos. Everything with Jesse went the way Gus planned, Mike reports. "The kid's a hero, just as you wanted," he says. The gunman clearly was a plant, and Gus set it all up for Jesse's benefit.

At Hank and Marie's house for dinner, Walt anxiously swills wine in the kitchen as Skyler discusses the car wash. When Hank jokingly refers to Walt as famous card shark "Nick the Greek," Marie criticizes him for enabling Walt's gambling addiction.

Walter Jr. changes the subject to the Boetticher case. Hank says that he's stopped working on it, but praises Gale as not merely a cook, a bona fide genius: "He was a meth chef. I mean, we're talking five stars, candles and white tablecloth." That if he had set his mind to something good, who knows what he'd be able to achieve to help people. Walt, increasingly irate from Hank's assertions and by now a little tipsy, can't let someone else take credit for his work. He dismisses the "Lab Notes" journal as "simple rote copying, probably of someone else's work." Skyler looks on disbelievingly as Walt muses that "this genius" of Hank's might still be at large. (If Walt hadn't said any of this Hank would not have reopened his investigation, but Walt's pride gets the better of him. It has before and it will do so again later.)

The next morning, Hank tells Marie—in a more polite tone than he's used with her in quite some time, even apologizing for making a small mess on the kitchen table—that he's resumed looking into the Boetticher case. Looking through police photographs taken in Gale's apartment, Hank notices a leaflet from Los Pollos Hermanos, with some letters and numbers—perhaps a serial or model number for some product—inked at the bottom.

Reflecting on Gale's dietary habits, Hank wonders aloud to Marie, "Since when do vegans eat fried chicken?"

Trivia

The episode title, "Shotgun" is a reference to both Jesse riding shotgun with Mike and to the shotgun the attacker is holding when approaching Jesse.

There's a slight reference to the pilot episode of the show in this episode. At the table, Hank says "I've got your wipe-down right here" and grabs his crotch; this is very similar to what Walter said and did to Bogdan as he was leaving the job.

During the musical cue ("1977" by Ana Tijoux) Jesse, while bored, mindlessly taps Mike's dashboard and sings: "Fallacies, fallacies, one for you, and two for me" a line from Fallacies by TwaüghtHammër. He previously sang this exact same line in the superlab ("I See You") while mindlessly zipping the zipper of his protective suit up and down, also while bored, also during a musical cue ("Shimmy Shimmy Ya" by Prince Fatty feat. Horseman).

The song Jesse is humming while he waits in the car during the final pickup is also Fallacies by TwaüghtHammër (Jesse's old band in the show).

Production error: when Mike and Jesse drive to the dessert at the begining of the episode on a dirt road you can see a camera and a guy behind it shooting the scene. (minute 8:57)

Mike and Jesse visit several drop sites, including: a deserted windmill, an abandoned warehouse, and a burned down building.

This episode aired on August 21, 2011 . Directed by Michael Slovis .

Reminiscent of the teaser of "Bullet Points," Cartel thugs (led by cartel buttonman Gaff) ambush a Los Pollos Hermanos refrigerated truck. Like before, they shoot and kill the driver. But rather than shoot up the truck like before, they proceed to bar the back doors to lock the guards in. They then hook up a tube to the exhaust pipe to redirect the exhaust into the truck's ventilation system and floor on the gas pedal. Gaff and his crew then eat the driver's lunch as the guards suffocate to death from carbon monoxide fumes. Once the guards die, the thugs break into the truck and take a single marked container of fry batter.



Summary

"I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger."

Skyler White repeatedly listens to Walter White's message while reading up on Gale Boetticher and finally reads between the message's lines correctly. She asks Walt several questions concerning Gale's murder and the people he works for. She asks if he's safe. Walt dodges these questions. Skyler theorizes that Walt is scared and that some part of him wants Hank to catch him. Walt (& his pride again) rejects these theories. Walt talks about how the whole drug enterprise would fall if he didn't show up for work. He claims "I'm not in danger. I am the danger!"..."I don't open the door (to a bullet) but instead he is the one doing the knocking ." Skyler doesn't respond, but is clearly shocked, even appalled and concerned at who Walt is turning into - she looks at him as if he's a stranger. After Walt finishes showering, he comes out voicing a reassuring apology, only to realize mid-sentence that Skyler, Holly and her car are gone. Walt goes to the car wash alone to obtain the files and keys. Bogdan Wolynetz talks about how bosses have to be tough and is not sure if Walt is ready for that. He insultingly recommends that if he's not tough enough, he should call his wife. Bogdan reminds Walt that the place is sold "as it is." When he then wants to take back the first dollar he made (hanging in a frame on the wall), Walt responds with "as is", and with a wry smile insists he leave it behind. Bogdan storm off in a huff. He then uses Bogdan's first dollar to buy a can of soda, relishing the moment.

Mike Ehrmantraut and Jesse Pinkman sit in a diner, Mike eating dinner and Jesse drinking coffee. Noticing Jesse's shaking hands, Mike asks if he's okay. Jesse indirectly tells him he is in withdrawal by telling him he "isn't using," which concerns Mike so he offers his dinner to Jesse. Shortly after, Mike receives a phone call, leaves some money and leaves to attend to whatever. Jesse offers to go along but Mike leaves him behind.

Walt and Walter White Jr. are eating breakfast. They talk and Walter Jr. assumes how Skyler is angry at Walt due to his 'gambling addiction.' Walt says she has a right to be mad. Walt Jr. tries to excuse his father's actions as equal to an illness, but Walt angrily counters that it was all down to "choice" and he owns it. On the way to school, after an argument, Walt decides to take a detour and buy a car for Walt Jr. At first he accuses Walt of attempting to "buy him off" but soon lights up when Walt buys him his dream car, a 2009 Dodge Challenger.

Jesse and Walt meet outside the superlab and Walt asks about the 'Mike meetings.' Jesse replies that he's guarding him on pickups. To Walt none of this 'guarding Mike' makes any sense. Jesse meanwhile is energised by what he did, telling Walt that maybe he's not "just a loser" after all. Walt then theorizes that the robbery was probably a setup - which Jesse refuses to even contemplate, let alone believe, angry that Walt is belittling him again. Walt tries to get Jesse to understand : Gustavo Fring can't kill Jesse because Walt won't stand for it. Gus needs Walt and he hates that, so he's trying to drive a wedge between Jesse and Walt. But when Walt ends with : "This whole thing is about me" - Jesse can't take any more, both angry and disappointed, he stalks off to go cook.

Halfway through cooking, Jesse receives a phone call and leaves go out with Mike again. Walt is incensed to again be left to clean up by himself. In defiance he goes straight upstairs and asks three Spanish-speaking women working in the laundromat for help cleaning the lab. They refuse to go downstairs, seemingly afraid to, until Walt offers them more money for 2 hours work than they're used to. Walt sits back and raises his coffee cup to the surveillance camera with a knowing smile, while the women scrub the lab equipment.

Skyler drives to the Four Corners landmark and, exasperated, flips a coin. It lands in Colorado. She frowns, flips again, and again it lands in Colorado. Skyler, using her foot, drags the coin from the Colorado square to New Mexico. She looks at Holly, picks up the coin and gets back in the car.



Mike and Jesse waiting outside a junkie's house

Jesse and Mike drive up to a house. Three guys inside are selling three pounds of blue meth that they didn't get from Gus. Mike advises that they should stake out the place until someone leaves, but Jesse, impatient as always, decides to play the junkie act and infiltrate the house. After getting the door slammed in his face, Mike taunts him with a "back to Plan-A then?" as Jesse gets back in the car. Jesse, however, insists Mike might know 'stake-outs' but he knows 'junkies', so he gets back out of the car and takes a shovel out of the trunk. Jesse starts digging a hole in the front yard of the house. One junkie approaches him as Mike watches from the car. The junkie asks why he's digging and Jesse replies "You know why." Jesse asks "How deep do you think it is?" The junkie replies "Pretty deep." Then Jesse hands the shovel to the junkie and asks him to take over the digging. He also asks if he can use their bathroom and the tweaker agrees, digging away anxiously. Inside, there's another junkie all the worse for wear, gripping a shotgun over his shoulders. After pretending to wanting to buy some blue meth and getting rejected, Jesse keeps pushing it and the tweaking paranoid junkie aggressively points the gun at Jesse. After the junkie is distracted by the noise of Mike coming to check, Jesse knocks the tweaker out with a nearby bong. Mike finds and picks up the stolen Los Pollos Hermanos fry batter bucket; words in Spanish are written on the lid in big black letters - which translates roughly to : "Are [you] ready to talk?" ... Obviously a message for Gus and company.

Walt walks out of the superlab with the three Spanish-speaking women. Tyrus Kitt approaches them and takes the women away. He's sending them on a bus back to Honduras (if not having them shot ??) - After Walt asks him to have Gus blame him instead and not the women, Tyrus replies "He does blame you."

Mike and Jesse again eat at a diner. Gus walks in and sits at the booth. Jesse knows he has to wait outside. Mike informs Gus that the whole truck robbery was about sending a message, the one on the bucket. Mike recommends that he get 10 or 15 good operators and retaliate immediately. But Gus dismisses this and wants to set up a meeting. Before leaving he asks Mike how Jesse did that day. As he leaves, he tells Jesse outside that he heard that he can handle himself. Jesse asks Gus "Why me?" Gus responds with "I like to think I can see things in people." Jesse doesn't quite know what to make of it but seems somewhat buoyed nevertheless.

Skyler drives into the driveway and is unimpressed to see the new car Walt bought for their son. Walt Jr. tries to convince his mom that the car is safe and promises he'll drive it safely. Walt, seeing Skyler silently seething, tries to apologize and says that everything he does, he does for his family. Skyler chides Walt about the new car and how it's a stupid idea that directly contradicts the story they're supposed to be following. She wants it sent back the next day. Walt attempts the sly angle that if he does so he worries Walt Jr. will only blame her for taking away the car. Skyler's well aware she'll be blamed the "bitch mom" again and 'thanks' Walt for once again placing her in that position. When Walt insists he only wished to do something nice for his son and provide as a father should; and again that he's only protecting the family. Skyler insist that if his reckless buying of an expensive car is his idea of protecting their son and the family, then she'd have to step up - "Someone has to protect this family from the man that protects this family." She picks up Holly White and takes her to her room, slamming the door behind her, leaving Walt sullen and speechless ... as the screen fades to black.

Trivia

When giving his "I am the one who knocks" speech, Walter takes off his light red shirt to reveal a darker shade of red symbolizing a darker turn for Walter after the speech.

When Jesse tries to enter the house, he uses the name "Diesel," which is the same name he used last time he was trying to recover stolen meth from junkies in "Peekaboo".

The episode title name may refer to:

Skyler cornering Walt with several questions

Walt is cornered into giving back the car

The trapped guards in the refrigerated truck

Skyler's visit to the Four Corners landmark.



There is a continuity error in this episode. In the very beginning of the episode, when the Cartel thugs are opening the back of the Pollos Hermanos truck to retrieve the container, the angle at which the truck is parked changes between shots. When the camera shoots from inside the truck, the truck is parked at a 45 degree angle to the road, but in outside shots, the truck is parked parallel to the road.

This is the second episode that doesn't use the word "shit".

Samuel L. Jackson is a big fan of Breaking Bad. In a video to raise money for Alzheimer’s research, Jackson puts his own spin on a "Breaking Bad" monologue, reading Walt’s infamous "I am the one who knocks" speech. [1]

Memorable Quotes





"Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!"

―Walt explaining who he is to Skyler.









Walter: "I just worry that he'll blame you for this."

Skyler: "Oh, he will. Once again, he'll blame his bitch mother for taking away what his loving father has given him. So, thanks for that. But you know what, Walt? Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family."

―Skyler explains why Walt must return the car he bought for Walt Jr.

This episode aired on August 28, 2011 . Directed by Peter Gould .

At home, on a massive TV screen, playing the first-person shooter video game Rage, Jesse Pinkman fires a gun at the mutants attacking him. Images of Gale Boetticher's dead body/murder blend in with the action as Jesse replays the real-life gunshot and Gale falling dead in his mind's eye. Distracted and disturbed, Jesse dies in the game. He catches his breath. The memory fades, and he restarts.



Summary

Walt looks at the explosion of the Challenger

At the car wash, Walter White grouses about the restocking fee the dealership is charging to take back the Challenger. Skyler White pleads with him to just return the car and not make a scene. She wants them to be done with it. Instead, Walt drives to an empty parking lot and races around recklessly, laying heavy rubber and doing doughnuts until the car runs aground on a parking block. Without a pause, Walt gets out, sets the car on fire and casually calls for a taxi as he sits down on the concrete and watches it burn.

Walt slumps in a chair at Saul Goodman's office while Saul handles the fallout from his client's "little joy ride." Walt admits that the pressure of knowing Gustavo Fring wants to kill him is getting to him, and then inquires about hit men. "Wrong answer!" blurts Saul, pointing out that any for hire assailant would likely know Mike Ehrmantraut, and have to outmaneuver him. Walt tells Saul that he tried to kill Gus himself but couldn't get near him. "Why not ask your partner?" suggests Saul. That night at Jesse's house, while Jesse repaints his graffitied/damaged walls, Walt interrogates Jesse about how close he's been to Gus lately. Closer than they are right now, Jesse says, adding, "He said he sees something in me." Walt attempts to manipulate Jesse, ironically asking if he's that easily manipulated by Gus. If he's already forgotten what Gus attempted. Walt reminds him Gus tried to kill them both, did kill Victor, and lied about not targeting children the day Andrea's brother Tomás was shot — he's making his case for Jesse to take action. "Drop the sales pitch," Jesse barks back at Walt. "I'll kill him first chance I get." Walt smiles, inwardly triumphant, pleased to get Jesse just where he wants him.

The next day at the car wash, Marie Schrader tells Skyler how well Hank Schrader's therapy is going and that his spirits have improved. Walt sneaks $274,000 in drug money past them hidden in pallets of soda. After Marie leaves, Skyler and Walt regroup. Skyler is stunned to realize that Walt's yearly income is more than $7 million. Skyler protests that it's too much to launder, and nobody pays for a carwash with $50 notes. She needs to solve that problem, Walt replies coldly - it's what she wanted to do, he reminds her. Skyler reminds him she wanted nothing of this. If she rather wants out, Walt counters, she must just say so. Skyler ain't pleased, but packs the cash into the safe, and starts mulling things over...

In the superlab, out of the security camera's view, Walt cooks a batch of ricin. At his house that night, Jesse notes that they had more of the poison when they tried to murder Tuco Salamanca ("Seven Thirty-Seven")  ("Grilled"). It's enough, says Walt. Jesse just needs to slip some into Gus's food or drink and Gus will die within 36 hours of seemingly natural causes. Jesse conceals the slim ricin vial inside a cigarette that he returns to the pack upside-down as his "lucky cigarette." Walt emphasizes, whatever you do just don't smoke it!

Walter White Jr. drives Hank to Los Pollos Hermanos, where Hank chats briefly with Gus, who recognizes him from his charity work with the DEA. Gus replenishes Hank's soda and offers to pay for any future meals at Los Pollos Hermanos, even offers Walt Jr. a job if ever he wants one. Hank later slips the cup into an evidence bag and stashes it under his seat in the car.



Mike and Jesse at the factory farm

The next day, Mike and Jesse drive to Gus's factory farm. "Big doin's today," says Mike. Inside the office trailer, Mike discusses security arrangements with Gus while Jesse makes coffee, his hands shaking as he holds his cigarette pack, trying to decide what to do. Mike startles Jesse by offering him a loaded gun. "Emergency only," Mike says. Three Cartel members arrive at the farm, fewer than Mike expected. Only one, Gaff (the lead assassin who hijacked the Los Pollos Hermanos truck in the previous episode), meets with Gus, who is visibly slighted of dealing with a henchman but forces a smile and offers him a seat. Speaking in Spanish, Gus offers the Cartel $50 million. "In return, our business is over," he says. Gaff replies that Gus knows what the Cartel wants. Is his answer yes or no! in reference to the last episode where the bucket read "ready to talk"? Is Gus ready to talk to the cartel, yes or no? Gus seems to have made an error in judgement: "This is not a negotiation," Gaff says, bluntly. Outside moments later, Gaff and Gus stare each other down as the Cartel members depart. Jesse considers shooting Gus in the back with the gun Mike gave him, right there and then, but ultimately decides against it. On the drive back to town, Jesse asks Mike what it is Gus sees in him. "Loyalty," Mike replies. "Only, maybe you got it for the wrong guy."

That evening, Jesse attends the N.A. support group meeting and indirectly bares his soul about killing Gale, telling a story about a fictitious "problem dog" he put down. Another addict criticizes Jesse for animal cruelty, but the group leader cautions the group not to judge. Jesse asks why not. Is he supposed to just "accept" himself no matter how many "dogs" he kills? He reiterates to his team leader that "killing one's own child should never be or ever become acceptable." Breaking down under the weight of the guilt, Jesse lashes out, saying he's really at the meetings only to sell meth to them all. "I made you my bitch," he sneers. "You accept that?" The group leader]] takes this in as Jesse charges out. Later at the superlab, Walt asks Jesse about the progress of the assassination attempt. Jesse lies and says he hasn't seen Gus.



Gus Fring's fingerprints are found at Gale's apartment

Hank meets with Steven Gomez and ASAC George Merkert at the DEA. He describes Gale and his murder, and hypothesizes that Gale is Heisenberg's former cook. The letters and numbers scribbled on the Los Pollos Hermanos napkin found in Gale's apartment, Hank explains, were the parts number for an industrial air-filtration system that Gale took delivery on. A system, Hank notes, perfect "for the biggest meth lab north of the border." By coincidence, its manufacturer is owned by a German-based conglomerate called Madrigal Electromotive that also has a stake in Los Pollos Hermanos. Hank theorizes that a vegan like Gale wouldn't eat at a chicken restaurant, and further that he'd only go to Los Pollos Hermanos for a meeting, perhaps with Gus. "What do we know about Gustavo Fring?" asks Hank, questioning Gus's supposed affinity for law enforcement. "Maybe he's our guy." Merkert suggests that Hank is "really reaching." Hank concedes that he thought so too at first. But one thing troubles him, says Hank, pausing for effect as he reveals photographs of a fingerprint on a Los Pollos soda cup and prints from the crime scene. "What are Gustavo Fring's fingerprints doing in Gale Boetticher's apartment, then?" Hank asks, laying his trump card on the table.

Trivia

In the teaser, Jesse is playing the video game, RAGE. In the game, Gale's name can be seen on a wall in reverse.

RAGE was released two months after the episode aired (October 20), and certainly after it was finished filming. The version of RAGE shown in the episode is a special version created to the specification of the Breaking Bad production staff.[1]

Steve Aoki features as an extra in this episode and Jesse Pinkman wears a shirt of his design[2].

Filming Locations

Walt takes Walt Jr's car out for a joyride. In a large parking lot he does some doughnuts and burnouts. The lot is the Isleta Amphitheatre Parking Lot located at 5601 University Blvd, and is immediately south of the Albuquerque Airport (ABQ), just as Walt describes. Ironically, this parking lot is less than 500 yards from the actual DEA offices.

Memorable Quotes





Jesse: "So no matter what I do, hooray for me because I’m a great guy? It’s all good? No matter how many dogs I kill, I just what?–do an inventory and accept? I mean, you back your truck over your own kid and you, like, accept? What a load of crap!"

Group Leader: "Hey, Jesse, I know you’re in pain."

Jesse: "No, no. You know what–why I’m here in the first place? Is to sell you meth! You’re nothing to me but customers! I made you my bitch! You okay with that? Huh? You accept?"

Group Leader: "No."

Jesse: "About time."

―Jesse at his NA group meeting.

This episode aired on September 4, 2011 . Directed by Johan Renck .

In a flashback to the same previously seen hospital scene just after Hank Schrader's shooting ("I See You"), Walter White confronts Gustavo Fring about who was behind the attempt on his life. Mike Ehrmantraut slips away, unnoticed, after murdering the Cousin who survived the ambush. Later, still in flashback, Hector Salamanca seethes silently in a nursing home as he watches news coverage of the shootings. Gus drops by for a visit, switches off the TV set, props himself on a chair opposite Hector and offers to better recount the events for him personally. Almost victoriously Gus describes his nephews' - the Cousins' - deaths, and the cryptic warning Hank received before the attack. Which, he relishes in pointing out, caused them to lose the upper hand and thereby their lives. Cartel boss Juan Bolsa is also dead, Gus reports with more sadistic glee. "This is what comes," says Gus, quoting Bolsa's own phrase, "of 'blood for blood'." "Sangre por sangre," he repeats in Spanish, be it for emphasis or Hector's clear understanding; who is by now beside himself with rage, his red faced temper desperate to push through his paralysis, as Gus leaves him with a patronising pat on the knee.

As Don Hector rages, we cut to water that grows tinged with blood.



Summary

Back in the present at an oncology clinic, another patient tries to commiserate with Walt. Walt won't hear it; he dismisses the young man's suggestion that cancer has put the man's life on hold. "That is such bullshit," says Walt. "Every single life comes with a death sentence." Until then, he's the one in charge, not cancer. Later at the superlab, Gus observes Walt's every move on the security camera feed; despite his vehemence, Walt's not in charge of anything right now.



The DEA questions Gus

The APD and DEA summon Gus to APD headquarters, where he notices a Person-of-Interest sketch of Victor on a bulletin board. Hank Schrader, APD Detective Tim Roberts, Steven Gomez and ASAC George Merkert then greet a fully composed Gus. Tim reveals that Gus's fingerprints were found at a murder scene. Hank scrutinises his every word and move intently. "Gale Boetticher's apartment?" Gus offers. Gale, he explains, won a chemistry scholarship that Gus established some years ago to honor Maximino Arciniega, "a dear friend of mine who died too young." Gale reestablished contact recently, and over dinner at Gale's apartment (thus explaining Gus's fingerprints) he proposed a "vague investment opportunity" that Gus declined. That would seem to explain everything, but Hank presses on: "Is Gustavo Fring your real name?" Hank asks before rattling off Gus's bio: Chilean national who emigrated to Mexico in 1986 and to the U.S. a few years later. Hank wonders why no record of Gus exists in Chile. This catches Gus by surprise, but he's perfectly composed, recovering instantly. "The Pinochet dictatorship kept notoriously unreliable records", Gus replies, assuring Hank that he'll locate documentation eventually if he persists. After Gus departs, Hank and his colleagues discuss their impressions. Hank's colleagues are convinced by the scholarship story and his calm composure. It's good, Hank admits, though he wonders why a supposed law-enforcement booster, with so many 'cop buddies', didn't come forward sooner with information about a murder case he's been clearly aware of. Clearly, he's not satisfied. But the head detective reasons with Hank that they can't go around investigating people just because they failed to volunteer information.

Saul Goodman visits Andrea Cantillo at a house she's just rented in a nice neighborhood and delivers cash from Jesse Pinkman. Afterward, in Saul's car, a concerned Jesse asks about the house and Andrea's son, Brock. Saul then prods Jesse to check on them himself.

At home, Skyler White conceals cash in vacuum-sealed plastic bags of clothes, and then hangs them in her closet. The weight of all the bags quickly sags, then snaps, the closet support rod. Desperate for a solution, she stashes the bags in the crawl space under the house. At dinner that night, Walt gives his family the news that his cancer is still in remission, much to all their relief. Marie Schrader mentions that Hank met with top DEA people about something "very hush-hush." Uncomfortable, Hank changes the subject and asks Walt to drive him to a mineral show the next day. Walt, piqued by Marie's admission, agrees to pick up and drive Hank.



Hank and Walter at Los Pollos Hermanos

The next day as they drive Walt feigns interest in minerals but Hank soon admits there's no actual mineral show and instead directs Walt to the Los Pollos Hermanos parking lot. "Ready to get your mind blown?" Hank asks. He suspects Gus Fring is a major drug distributor, and to prove it, Hank wants Walt to plant a GPS tracker in the wheel-well of Gus's Volvo. While Hank gives an apprehensive Walt installation instructions, Mike pulls up beside Walt's car and stares him down. Walt, panicking, tries to dissuade Hank. "This is a mistake," says Walt. Hank refuses to take 'no' for an answer, "Jesus, don't make me beg," he replies. Walt covertly exchanges some looks with Mike, then reluctantly exits the car. He approaches the Volvo and drops to his knee, to 'tie his shoe' as Hank suggested, but doesn't plant the device. He then proceeds into Los Pollos Hermanos, where Gus immediately greets him at the till. "I didn't do it," says Walt, flashing the GPS device and informing Gus of what's going down. "Do it," Gus says evenly, then repeats it when Walt dithers. He returns to the parking lot, drink order in hand, and this time plants the GPS tracker. Hank's unsure why Walt's returned to the car and winces at Walt's inept bungling, things not going quite as smoothly as he'd hoped. Returning to the car to Hank's puzzled looks, Walt explains he was just checking the device was securely attached on that second pass. Hank, changes the subject with an awkward, "So, where's my drink then?", on noticing Walt had only ordered a single drink. Walt's flustered...

Back at the superlab, Walt rushes to the security camera and addresses Gus. Hank has no hard evidence and his colleagues don't buy his theory, Walt says, begging Gus not to harm Hank, as they have nothing on him. Later, Walt visits Jesse at home and says that Gus must be killed this week, preferably tonight. He updates Jesse on why the need urgency. No meetings with Gus are scheduled, says Jesse, but when Jesse briefly steps away, Walt surreptitiously reads an incoming text on Jesse's phone about a canceled meeting. "Boss is busy, will have to meet later" it reads. When Jesse returns, Walt informs him he probably has a call; then waits to check if Jesse will inform him or instead lie. When Jesse dismisses the call as nothing important, Walt is displeased, disappointed and concerned why Jesse is lying to him - but of that, he's just had proof of.

Mike calls Gus the next day and reports that neither the police nor the DEA considers him a suspect. Hank is operating solo. "What about Chile?" asks Gus. Mike can't find anything about Gus there, so Hank probably won't either. Gus enquires if Hank requested a search warrant for the tracker and is pleased to hear he did not. A more serious concern, says Mike, is what would happen if Hank witnesses the Cartel moving against Gus. Gus removes the GPS tracker from his car and stows it on a nearby newspaper dispenser before he drives to the nursing home, where he informs Hector that he has defied the Cartel's ultimatum and that Hank is looking into Gus's past. "Is today the day, Hector?" Gus asks cryptically.



Gus and Max in 1989

In another flashback, it's 1989. Gus and his partner, Max Arciniega, sit poolside at a lavish Mexican hacienda. A younger and much sprightlier Don Hector walks out, urinates in the pool right next to them, and otherwise disrespects Gus and Max in front of Juan Bolsa (insinuating they "liked" watching him urinate - a probable dig at their sexuality.) Don Eladio Vuente -- the Cartel boss—strides out and compliments Gus and Max on their delicious chicken, saying that all his men love it. His demeanor changes, though, when he mentions that his men also get high on "metanfetamina" they receive from Gus and Max. Simply samples, Gus replies, for Don Eladio, to get his attention - insisting there was never monetary exchange for the drugs. Don Eladio calls meth the poor man's cocaine because there's no money in it. Max tells them that Gus is a honourable man who paid for all his studies. That he's now a trained biochemist and chemical engineer and can make a much superior product to what the Don is used to seeing - a very potent and pure crystal form of the product which he can teach his people to make. Gus points out that Don Eladio assumes great risk smuggling cocaine into the United States, but then must send much of the profit back to the Colombians, since the drug precursor plant can't be grown in Mexico. With meth made locally, he'd control the entirety of the product and get to keep all of the profits for himself. This, they promise, would easily triple if not even quadruple, his profits.

Don Eladio, despite seemingly liking the idea, accuses Gus of insulting him by disrespecting him by selling under his nose, then manipulating him into a meeting in front of his own men. Gus apologizes and states he was merely using his initiative, but Max senses Don Eladio's anger, and the rising danger to Gus. "He is my partner!" pleads Max. "I need him." While Max speaks about Gus' great skills and qualities, Hector steps up behind him and shoots him through the head. Juan Bolsa pushes Gus to the ground, and Hector places his foot on Gus's neck, forcing him to look into his partner's dead eyes, only inches away from his own, as Max bleeds out into the pool. "You did this to him," says Hector. "Now look at him." Don Eladio tells Gus that he remains alive only because Don Eladio knows who he actually is. "But understand," warns Don Eladio, "You are not in Chile anymore." (Clearly Gus has had a lucky escape due solely to his previous identity/reputation when back home in Chile.)

Back in the present at the nursing home, Gus leans in close to Don Hector. "Look at me, Hector," he commands, but Hector stubbornly refuses, eyes fixed intently away from him. "Maybe next time," taunts Gus, leaving Hector silently fuming in his chair.

Trivia

The "Hermanos" of the title is the Spanish word for : Brothers. ... The titles in BB usually refer to multiple points within an episode. The most obvious 'Hermanos' here probably alludes to the relationship between the two "brothers" at the centre of the 'Los Pollos Hermanos' franchise, i.e. Gus & Max - which is the main theme at the centre of this episode and explains the motivation for Gus' avenging of his dear "brother's" killing. ... The word, or sentiment of the word, 'brother' (or even the more urban 'brutha') can easily be exchangeable with the word 'partner', as it does here. It's been established that Gus & Max were not true 'brothers' in blood, but more so 'partner' brothers. (Plus, extended further, even quite possibly : 'partners' in the more gay/homosexual sense of the word - as has been established is probable they were.) ... So in that hermanos/partner sense, the title could also be referring to : Mike and Jesse's partnership, and how Walt might be feeling betrayed by his 'hermano' on discovering he's being lied to by his partner Jesse. ... Thirdly, at more of a stretch but still fits - it might also be referring to the 'brothers-in-law' double act of Hank and Walt, in the car with the tracking device. 'Brothers-in-law' directly translated is 'hermanos-en-ley', or more so 'hermanos políticos' / (and though that's strictly accurate, to be fair the more casual word 'cuñados' is more often used.)

Additionally, brothers may refer to The Cousins who were twin brothers. The Cousins' deaths were used as a trigger to enrage Hector Salamanca while Gustavo gloated.

From this episode we learn that Gus' killings have in fact been motivated not merely by 'business' but also, more deeply so, by revenge - a "blood for blood" revenge against Hector in particular and the Cartel in general for their killing of his partner Max. It's possible it was the loss of Max, his killing and Gus' avenging hand thereof, that's responsible for ultimately turning Gus into the ruthless killer/villain he becomes.

Although Gus and Max's deep relationship was never outright confirmed by the show as being a homosexual one, it was interpreted by many of the more astute viewers as certainly being so. Series creator Vince Gilligan has stated that he decided against the show officially confirming or denying whether or not Max and Gus were, in fact, a couple; however, he's also said that they "probably were lovers." Even Esposito himself (i.e. Giancarlo Esposito - the actor who portrayed Gus) interpreted the character as probably being gay.

Vince Gilligan has said Gus Fring was likely involved with former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's government somewhere. However, the writers had deliberately not determined his entire back story in order to keep the character not only more interesting/mysterious but also allow them some greater flexibility for future episodes' story/character development. The two instances that demonstrate this likely involvement in said government, is 1) the fact that Gus apparently left Chile in 1986 - the very year of Pinochet's attempted assassination (by the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front) and 2) The fact that Hector Salamanca has referred to Gus as "Grand Generalissimo". The added tidbit that Don Eladio tells Gus that he knew who Gus was but he's "not in Chile anymore", hints at the probability that Gus held some sort of clout when back home that he no longer holds.

The first article of clothing that Skyler places along with the money in the vacuum bags is the pink sweater that Walt wore in the episode "ABQ."  The sweater is the same shade of pink as the Teddy Bear from the Wayfarer 515 crash.

Max Arciniega is the same name as the actor who played Krazy-8.

Memorable Quotes





"Oh, to hell with your cancer. I’ve been living with cancer for the better part of a year. Right from the start, it’s a death sentence. It’s what they keep telling me. Well, guess what? Every life comes with a death sentence. So every few months, I come in here for my regular scan, knowing full well that one of these times– hell, maybe even today–I’m going to hear some bad news. But until then, who’s in charge? Me. That’s how I live my life."

―Walter to a patient whose cancer has just been diagnosed.
