I wonder if Mike knew Victor's fate was sealed when he knew that Victor got seen. He just didn't expect Gus would splatter his throat right in front of everyone.
@@ChilledSoul216 Doesn't make any sense though. Gus is ready to sabotage things with Jesse and Walt and go against his own word just to protect his two crackpot employees, but when Victor is seen by a couple of randoms he is disposable all of a sudden? He can't just grow his hair out, get a beard, move to another state to help somewhere else? A faithful assassin like him is this disposable? He needs to be killed just like that? Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Just looks like an excuse to show us Gus kill someone, but it just makes Gus look weak and emotional. Like he is throwing a tantrum because he couldn't get his way. Really? That's Gus? A methodical kingpin like him surely should've had his emotions under control. It's all about money for him. If he just said "well played, now cook my damn meth. Any more trouble from either of you, ya'll dead. You, Victor, you're moving North. Let's go everyone" it would be all over, and he is back on track with his money. This... what did this accomplish? He GUARANTEED Walt would try to kill him again. He disposed of a priceless employee, a trained assassin and a lapdog. He surely shook Mike's trust too... and firmly turned Jesse against him for good. If it wasn't for this scene I doubt Jesse would help to kill him later on. He screwed himself on all fronts with this play, all because he got emotional? This scene is AWFUL.

I think Victor was dead either way. Gus was angry, pissed af, and he did that solely to make a point to both Walter and Jessie of how disposable they actually are if even Victor can be easily killed like that. The only reason Gus killed Victor at that moment and not anybody else, was probably because out of everyone there, Victor is the least valuable asset in the room.

UA-cam commenter tries not to hype up the most basic, inconsequential thing as if it’s some sort of life changing artistry challenge: impossible difficulty.
Victor knew he was on borrowed time when he realized Mike’s concern to him being seen at the crime scene. That’s why he started cooking, to try to prove his value to Gus. Even if Victor wasn’t seen, there was a chance Gus was going to kill him anyway since he needed to send a message and Mike was much more valuable. Victor being seen and overstepping boundaries by cooking only made the decision that much easier for Gus.
Gus never struck me as the kind of guy who would kill someone just to send a message, but rather, send a message by killing someone he was going to anyway. I know one of Victor's last big decisions in BCS had Gus warn him not to fail him again.
@@BlazingOwnager This, to be honest. Feels a lot less arbitrary. If Gus just killed Victor to send a message even when he was of use to him, his inclusion in BCS would’ve felt contrived if he was considered easily disposable for Gus to do something like that. He rose suspicion by being at the scene without explaining himself so Gus sent a message by killing someone who could’ve inadvertently sabotaged his whole operation.
Yeah I’m pretty sure that the reason Victor cooked was to try to prove to Walt that killing Gale didn’t make him and Jesse more valuable to Gus. From a writing standpoint I think it was featured to make Walt and Jesse’s situation look more dire and hopeless, only for things to take a complete 180 moments after.
three reasons for Victor's death: 1. Faild to save Gale 2. Be spoted by the neighbours(and mike confirm that to gus in the phone call) 3. Be disrespectful to Gus when trying to disrespect Walt, when was cooking meth and saying is that easy.
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor it's a subversion, he is muscle, he was never going to be a cook and to press himself forward looks to gus like pure ego and self-interest, it's too much for someone so unintelligent as to be seen at a crime scene like that.
I partially feel that Victor knew shortly thereafter that he messed up by being seen, but tried to make it up by showing that he committed Walt‘s formula to memory
Guys why is Jesse being so dramatic? I saw other movied where main characters shout cool one linerr when rhey shoot bad guy. Why didn't Jesse say "Gale? More like Fail" then shoot gale insteead of whining about it. Hes suchh a baby
It was a risk for Walter to tell Mike and his partner Gale's address so quickly. If Gale wasn't playing his music so loud he would have heard his phone vibrating.
He probably knew Victor was going to face some pretty abhorrent consequences but probably didn’t expect to see him die in such a subversive and cold hearted way.
@@danielkelly3065 by the way you OP I prefer Mike's face at 2:47 when Víctor brings Jesse in, haha the old man thinks they won only to few moments later start saying the S word non stop in utter frustration 😂
Dammit, why didn't Victor have a cover story for showing up there, like saying he was a friend of Gale or something (which is kind of true) and did he really need to get that close to Gale's corpse to confirm it? That old guy could already tell from where he was standing.
True, but how did he end up there in such a rush, as if he knew something was up? Once the police and DEA found the evidence that Gale was involved in the methamphetamine production, including the book with the superlab schematics, they'd start to press him hard, then find out he'd work for Gus Fring. Victor was a dead man walking the moment he ran into the apartment.
@@_MaZTeR_ what was Victor supposed to do? He had to find Jesse who was clearly not going anywhere. Eventually the police would show up and see Jesse sitting right there and he would probably confess everything on the spot. Then Walt, Mike, and Gus would all be screwed.
@@justinguyos5476 He should've noticed that there are civilians at Gale's place, acknowledged that there's nothing he can do and just immediately bolt before he even stepped in to the building. Or just casually walk in and act like an unsuspecting civilian and also wait for the police to arrive to not act suspicious by just suddenly disappearing. Nobody knew that Victor knew who Gale was and that they were involved both in any way, until Victor actually barged in there and became a suspect.
Tunnel vision I guess Even if you are a friend or any relative or just pretend he heard a shot which makes him a witness you'd still get called to interrogation by police and that is a huge risk itself There's just no way out for him just by being seen
Gale didn't deserve this, the whole subterranean lab was originally built for him alone, he only insisted on bringing Walter out of respect... Heisenberg was truly just a calamity that came to destroy everything they had built, it's so frustrating after seeing how much work, money, time and blood was required to achieve making that lab.
Gus Deserved to have his whole world turned to dust for everything he did to get here, all the lives he ruined. Hector Salamanca was right in hating Gus. This is the only justice that Gus deserved, losing Gale, losing his life and then his empire to the one person he hated the most Hector got the last laugh and Gus had enough time to process that he was outplayed after everything he did This is Justice for Nacho Varga
The second "What about you" from Mike, with that lower and deeper tone from the first. Mike already realized Victor was seen. And quicker than light, Mike - who had been with Gus for years - knew Victor's demise is coming soon.
Gus was actually patient with this guy considering he put his crew in danger (almost shootout with Nacho) multiple times until he made that last fatal mistake Victor wasn't incompetent, he's just a little dull compare to a game full of razor sharp wolf and paid badly for it
He screwed up big time by letting himself get seen. Brazenly walking into the room and inspecting the corpse before immediately leaving is gonna look incredibly suspicious to all those bystanders. Gus can't risk the possibility he'll get caught and snitch to the authorities.
Not only was Victor seen by the witnesses at the crime scene but he left his car there which could be traced back to Gus's employees so he sealed his fate for his reckless mistake. I'm sure the car was impounded by the police but at the same time I'm also sure Gus had some of his crew I'm assuming destroy the car.
For how street smart Victor was throughout the show, given his years of experience in the life, it always stumped me just how stupid he was in this scene. Literally a number of ways he could’ve gone about it
@@ThePowat it's not about cooking, he didn't ruin the batch and Gus wouldn't have killed him over something like this. He was seen and as we see in a later episode, probably connected to the murder since his mugshot was in the police station
I love the subtle expressions on Mike and Walt's faces when it initially seems like Jesse got caught before he could do it. Mike was looking at Walt with a "told ya so" kind of expression, and Walt got sunk in on himself with dread in his eyes, but then once it comes out that he actually did kill Gale, you can see the surprise and relief that comes over Walt's face... like a whole conversation was had without saying a single word. Brilliant.
Mike knew exactly where this was going.... when the cops ask what everyone saw they are going to say, "Yah there was a gunshot and this guy is dead. There was also a guy who ran into the room and then ran out without saying a word." Not to mention the dispatcher hears that. Cops will start nosing around on that and he was seen by 3-4 people who can easily describe what he looks like (and it was someone the guy was speaking to and everyone was shocked he just ran into the room - so they'll remember). And then if he cuts a deal with police/feds he knows everything about the operation. I remember watching this scene for the first time and thinking to myself, "And yah he's dead." He wasn't important enough either to be indispensable. I think when Walt almost starts panicking trying to convince Gus, he was not in any danger at all. I think he later realized how much power he had and then it really went to his head.
The classic metaphor of the pressure of the kettle (and the situation) behind released by the bullet that killed Gale. Those writers were so good. (+the pressure still has that overall chemical symbolism of the show, BB is a masterpiece in so many ways)
I just realized when Mike said "I guess I better get this over with" he was talking about Victor. He told Gus that Victor had been spotted, and that's why Gus killed him. Brilliant.
I think Mike was mostly freaking out about having to explain his own responsibility for Gale's death by not carrying out Gus's simple orders like he'd been told. Had Mike just popped Walter instead of allowing him the phone call, neither Mike nor Victor would have had anything to worry about, and Gale would have gone on to make millions of trouble-free dollars for Gus. I'm sure that Mike also felt a degree of responsibility for Victor's death along with Gale's after the boxcutter scene.
4:25 "Just another looky-loo" No, he came barreling in, basically shoved an old guy out of the way, refused to even look at anyone, and looked straight down at him. For these cartel "spies", they sure are loud in a quiet way 😂
It's probably fortuitous for Walter that Victor walked right in and was seen doing it right as the guy's on the phone with the cops. Talk about 2 birds with 1 stone. So even if Victor had the cook down to a tee, being seen at the crime scene means he's a person of interest which means, he cannot be left alive. Walt knew he won when Victor revealed he was at the scene and was seen. I'm sure he didn't expect to have Victor get his toe tagged in front of him, but you take the good with the bad. By this point, Walter's ego was slowly but steadily getting out of control and it was inevitably going to bring the whole thing crashing down around them. As Mike told Walter before he got shot, if Walter humbled himself and simply kept cooking, the money would've kept rolling in. Instead, he had to be The Man and in doing so, landed on Hank's radar which made things inherently more complicated for everyone. He ended up poisoning the kid, which lost Jesse once he figured out Walter did it. This cost him his family once Hank got murdered in the desert and it lost him damn near all of his money, cause of the crew he called to come bail him out. This was literally the beginning of the end for everyone and we didn't realize it at the time.
Mike’s speech to Walt was BS. He blamed Walt’s ego for the beef with Gus, which isn’t how it happened. Walt’s ego was destructive at times, but Mike was wrong to blame Walt for the fallout with Gus. No beef with Gus essentially means Walt should have let Jesse die, as Jesse going after the dealers is what led to Walt killing the dealers and Gus turning on Walt.
All he had to do was not go into the apartment and not make it so obvious he knows something lol just stand in door way and look on like your another by stander coming to see the commotion
I love how tense the scene is when mike and walt realize Jesse was caught only for it to instantly fade when victor kicks the cart and reveals his rage that Jesse followed through and walt knew he wasnt going to die
None of this would have happened if someone had just walked out and told Jesse and Walter "Just remember who you're working for" when they met with Gus.
Aaron Paul does such a outstanding job portraying the damage a life of crime causes. This sh*t affects him, _hard._ And I'm glad it does. If Jesse could just commit acts like this and move on, he'd lose that part of him we root for most. Killing someone shouldn't be easy. It shouldn't be something people just get over. The best example of why is Todd. Unlike what some people think, Todd isn't a sociopath. He regrets the things he does, but he still does them because they need to be done. Todd is more akin to how most media portrays characters that kill people. Didn't like it, but it had to be done, I feel bad, but I've gotten over it and I'm ready for the rest of the episode.
Todd is at least somewhat sociopathic. He didn't particularly care that much about killing Drew Sharpe. He doesn't enjoy it or anything, but he doesn't take it seriously either. Regret might be too strong a word for Todd's emotional involvement in this
With so many clips, Im convinced you can watch the full series on UA-cam.

2:47 Mike's eye raise says "You see my guy not only foiled your plan but also brought your guy back here. I always win" . Seconds later, he knows he did not and he loses his guy to a box cutter.
If only Victor had followed Lyle's example. Lyle wouldn't have let Jesse get away with that, and afterwards would still have made it to LPH to open the store on time.
You ever wonder if gus didnt kill jesies because then he would have been the bad guy like when the cartel killed his partner. He could have killed jessie and kept walt cooking no way walt would have stopped cooking if they threatend his family.
I think there is an element of that .. Jesse was Walts Parner, and Walt was Loyal to him... as Gus was to his original partner . Plus dont forget , Jesse just literally killed someone in Cold blood just to protect Walter , risking it all, and he did it because it was the ONLY move .. that takes major BALLS, planning in advance, and follow through which they did perfectly , completely outsmarting Mike, who is no dummy .. Gus really admired that kind of Loyalty and Precision .. So he did not kill Jesse for several reasons ... Victor on the other hand Effed up so many times here, its hard to even keep track .
@@Andrew-th3gz Jesse was the best Student Walt had.. he cooked in the 90% range .. effortlessly.. no one even came close ..if Walt dropped dead, Jesse would have been their Main cook.. so w t * are you talking about ?
@@jefffromjersey52 gale wouldve cooked idiot, if jesse did not kill gale, and walter died that night, then they wouldve killed jesse and had gale cook for them
one thing i never noticed not only was he seen but the guy was on the phone w the cops right when he was telling him he shouldnt step in due to it being a crime scene
This scene where gale hits the heat gun onto the teapot shows where the bullet would go and get shot and die. Earlier in the show, we see Hank remove the tape of bullet holes on the RV door in the junkyard and the light goes thru the holes revealing where Walt gets shot later by his own gun popping out the trunk and die.
You know what I find so interesting here is that Walter is a more evil character than Mike but Mike is scene as the antagonist here. Mike is seen as a criminal/hero providing for his family. I am still trying to find out why he actually wanted to kill Walt. I can tell he actually wanted to not just because Gus wanted him and Viktor to.
One of the only scenes where Victor is portrayed as a regular person who makes mistakes rather than an emotionless hitman. He could have been given so much more story and it could have began here.
All Victor had to do when he saw the others was go "oh my god that's horrible I can't watch" as if he was very scared, then turn around and run out. The man on the phone and the other witnesses would have just been none-the-wiser and think he was just another innocent person who couldn't stand to see a murder scene and probably would have never been considered in police reports. But he walked in confident, unshaken, possessive, and aggressive. He ignored the witness telling him to get out because it's a crime scene. I guarantee you those witnesses noted that in the police report.
so walt knows he's gonna die so he kills gale so gus won't have a chemist. and gus had gale work under walt to learn his formula, but in case gale died, he told victor to learn the formula as well. then victor gets seen for no reason without a word to or from mike when he departs. it kinda minimizes all the main characters' contributions. gus was 1 step ahead, but victor took the bullet instead for plot convenience. like ik we wouldn't have gotten the box cutter thing, but this plot line woulda been perfect if there simply was not a victor wrinkle. just walt gets one over on gus. I feel like that's more satisfying than what we got personally.

He probably knew Victor was going to face some pretty abhorrent consequences but probably didn’t expect to see him die in such a subversive and cold hearted way.
his 2nd "shit" always makes me laugh, thats one of the only times you see mike genuinely frustrated because he doesnt know what to do
@@danielkelly3065 by the way you OP I prefer Mike's face at 2:47 when Víctor brings Jesse in, haha the old man thinks they won only to few moments later start saying the S word non stop in utter frustration 😂
This is the moment Victor becomes VicTIM!
Victor became victim
That was lame ngl
Gus's henchemen were all useless except for Mike.
All they were good at is looking angry and pointing gun at unarmed people.
Tyrus was much more of a professional than Victor at least. He didn’t seem as angry at everyone he just wanted to do his job
Most criminals aren’t terribly rational or professional….they wouldn’t have gone into murder/narco trafficking if they had those traits.
Victor could cook some half decent meth, though.

4:04 Sooo... *S H E T*
Dammit, why didn't Victor have a cover story for showing up there, like saying he was a friend of Gale or something (which is kind of true) and did he really need to get that close to Gale's corpse to confirm it? That old guy could already tell from where he was standing.
probably lack of time. but yea given his job profile/experience that was a dumb move
True, but how did he end up there in such a rush, as if he knew something was up?
Once the police and DEA found the evidence that Gale was involved in the methamphetamine production, including the book with the superlab schematics, they'd start to press him hard, then find out he'd work for Gus Fring.
Victor was a dead man walking the moment he ran into the apartment.
@@_MaZTeR_ what was Victor supposed to do? He had to find Jesse who was clearly not going anywhere. Eventually the police would show up and see Jesse sitting right there and he would probably confess everything on the spot. Then Walt, Mike, and Gus would all be screwed.
@@justinguyos5476 He should've noticed that there are civilians at Gale's place, acknowledged that there's nothing he can do and just immediately bolt before he even stepped in to the building.
Or just casually walk in and act like an unsuspecting civilian and also wait for the police to arrive to not act suspicious by just suddenly disappearing. Nobody knew that Victor knew who Gale was and that they were involved both in any way, until Victor actually barged in there and became a suspect.
Tunnel vision I guess
Even if you are a friend or any relative or just pretend he heard a shot which makes him a witness you'd still get called to interrogation by police and that is a huge risk itself
There's just no way out for him just by being seen
Victor: Just remember who you work for.
Gus: Are you saying they're stupid? Are you saying I'm stupid?
😅
Gale didn't deserve this, the whole subterranean lab was originally built for him alone, he only insisted on bringing Walter out of respect... Heisenberg was truly just a calamity that came to destroy everything they had built, it's so frustrating after seeing how much work, money, time and blood was required to achieve making that lab.
It was Gus' fault for trying to kill Walt
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor Wish he wouldn't have had to resort to if Walt had just shut up and do his job
@@HallidayASRThat was Jesse's fault. Walt was doing just that.
Shouldn't have gotten involved with the criminal underworld because he had some silly ideals lmao
Gus Deserved to have his whole world turned to dust for everything he did to get here, all the lives he ruined.
Hector Salamanca was right in hating Gus.
This is the only justice that Gus deserved, losing Gale, losing his life and then his empire to the one person he hated the most
Hector got the last laugh and Gus had enough time to process that he was outplayed after everything he did
This is Justice for Nacho Varga
The second "What about you" from Mike, with that lower and deeper tone from the first. Mike already realized Victor was seen. And quicker than light, Mike - who had been with Gus for years - knew Victor's demise is coming soon.
This is the moment Victor becomes dissolved.
No loyalty in the chicken business. Victor was a good employee
He messed up big a few times in BCS, and messed up big again here.
He fucked up by making an appearance on the crime scene.
Gus was actually patient with this guy considering he put his crew in danger (almost shootout with Nacho) multiple times until he made that last fatal mistake
Victor wasn't incompetent, he's just a little dull compare to a game full of razor sharp wolf and paid badly for it
paid baldly
He screwed up big time by letting himself get seen. Brazenly walking into the room and inspecting the corpse before immediately leaving is gonna look incredibly suspicious to all those bystanders. Gus can't risk the possibility he'll get caught and snitch to the authorities.
Not only was Victor seen by the witnesses at the crime scene but he left his car there which could be traced back to Gus's employees so he sealed his fate for his reckless mistake.
I'm sure the car was impounded by the police but at the same time I'm also sure Gus had some of his crew I'm assuming destroy the car.
It turns out Victor was in fact not just a looky lou
The Walt outsmarting Mike and Gus scenes is still one of my top 5 scenes on tv .
2:49 Honestly I'm not surprised if Mike was betting on Jesse's humanity to not kill Gale, and Victor getting to Jesse first

Nah they probably cuddled together

Maybe instead of watching all these clips I should just give in and rewatch all of Breaking Bad
The true death of Jessie’s innocence. 😞
What? He was already guilty in S01E01.
He's a drug dealer what is with this heckin wholesome chungus view of a meth addict
The actors crushed it here. 10/10 show all around
Victor never had the makings of a varsity athelete
For how street smart Victor was throughout the show, given his years of experience in the life, it always stumped me just how stupid he was in this scene. Literally a number of ways he could’ve gone about it
Walt’s confidence level reached 200% when Victor kicked the moving cart
2:11 aww look at mikey and walty here, having a stare contest😊
Never seen Mike this pissed and emotional
1:05 that’s the same spot on the kettle where Gale pointed his laser thermometer at
Wow. Such an intentional detail and foreshadowing. Holy cow.
Let's be true to ourselves here. Jesse may have pulled the trigger, but Walter was holding that gun the whole time.
This is the part where Victor prematurely became dead
Nah that was when he started cooking
@@ThePowat it's not about cooking, he didn't ruin the batch and Gus wouldn't have killed him over something like this. He was seen and as we see in a later episode, probably connected to the murder since his mugshot was in the police station
@2:00 imagine if there was a cop passing and saw Victor! That would’ve changed everything
3:57 that Moment Mike knows he's stuck with Walt and Jesse, and he can't do anything with them
I love the subtle expressions on Mike and Walt's faces when it initially seems like Jesse got caught before he could do it. Mike was looking at Walt with a "told ya so" kind of expression, and Walt got sunk in on himself with dread in his eyes, but then once it comes out that he actually did kill Gale, you can see the surprise and relief that comes over Walt's face... like a whole conversation was had without saying a single word. Brilliant.
*"A Guy Open his Door And Get Shot, And You think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!"*
-Captain Cook
I love how Walt’s sitting there like a student who’s in trouble at 2:23 and Mike’s sitting there like a principal about to discipline him at 2:31 lol
😂
3:45 "Gone?! No!!!! GONE???!!! GONE!!!!!!".
3:50 Walter: "YESSSSS!!!!!!! 🙂".
He can barely contain his joy, lol.
Mike knew exactly where this was going.... when the cops ask what everyone saw they are going to say, "Yah there was a gunshot and this guy is dead. There was also a guy who ran into the room and then ran out without saying a word." Not to mention the dispatcher hears that.
Cops will start nosing around on that and he was seen by 3-4 people who can easily describe what he looks like (and it was someone the guy was speaking to and everyone was shocked he just ran into the room - so they'll remember). And then if he cuts a deal with police/feds he knows everything about the operation. I remember watching this scene for the first time and thinking to myself, "And yah he's dead." He wasn't important enough either to be indispensable. I think when Walt almost starts panicking trying to convince Gus, he was not in any danger at all. I think he later realized how much power he had and then it really went to his head.
People forget that victor left his car at the scene. That’s a huge risk
This was the moment when Walter made Mike go “Shit!”
The script as written said that Gus was simply supposed to enter and say "Well, get back to work". He ad libbed the rest and created TV magic.
Vravo bince or whatever
If you see Jesse crying, it’s too late
Single greatest cliffhanger in the history of television.
Not gonna lie, barging in like that was such a stupid move from Victor’s side
The classic metaphor of the pressure of the kettle (and the situation) behind released by the bullet that killed Gale. Those writers were so good. (+the pressure still has that overall chemical symbolism of the show, BB is a masterpiece in so many ways)
B R A V O V I N C E
One thing is for sure. Lyle would not have screwed up like this!
I can bet that Mike really liked Gale with how nice he was
Had Walter just kept working with Gale and left Jessie alone, the show might've had a happy ending.
I just realized when Mike said "I guess I better get this over with" he was talking about Victor. He told Gus that Victor had been spotted, and that's why Gus killed him. Brilliant.
I think Mike was mostly freaking out about having to explain his own responsibility for Gale's death by not carrying out Gus's simple orders like he'd been told. Had Mike just popped Walter instead of allowing him the phone call, neither Mike nor Victor would have had anything to worry about, and Gale would have gone on to make millions of trouble-free dollars for Gus. I'm sure that Mike also felt a degree of responsibility for Victor's death along with Gale's after the boxcutter scene.
"Take whatever you want" - poor choice of words.
I remember having to wait an entire year for this.
4:25 "Just another looky-loo"
No, he came barreling in, basically shoved an old guy out of the way, refused to even look at anyone, and looked straight down at him.
For these cartel "spies", they sure are loud in a quiet way 😂
That's why Gus killed him
"Mr this is a crime scene I don't think you wanna go in there. Mr are you listening to me?" -🤓
He was right
I love your avatar. The old Onion was amazing.
It's probably fortuitous for Walter that Victor walked right in and was seen doing it right as the guy's on the phone with the cops. Talk about 2 birds with 1 stone. So even if Victor had the cook down to a tee, being seen at the crime scene means he's a person of interest which means, he cannot be left alive.
Walt knew he won when Victor revealed he was at the scene and was seen. I'm sure he didn't expect to have Victor get his toe tagged in front of him, but you take the good with the bad. By this point, Walter's ego was slowly but steadily getting out of control and it was inevitably going to bring the whole thing crashing down around them. As Mike told Walter before he got shot, if Walter humbled himself and simply kept cooking, the money would've kept rolling in. Instead, he had to be The Man and in doing so, landed on Hank's radar which made things inherently more complicated for everyone. He ended up poisoning the kid, which lost Jesse once he figured out Walter did it. This cost him his family once Hank got murdered in the desert and it lost him damn near all of his money, cause of the crew he called to come bail him out.
This was literally the beginning of the end for everyone and we didn't realize it at the time.
Mike’s speech to Walt was BS. He blamed Walt’s ego for the beef with Gus, which isn’t how it happened. Walt’s ego was destructive at times, but Mike was wrong to blame Walt for the fallout with Gus. No beef with Gus essentially means Walt should have let Jesse die, as Jesse going after the dealers is what led to Walt killing the dealers and Gus turning on Walt.
All he had to do was not go into the apartment and not make it so obvious he knows something lol just stand in door way and look on like your another by stander coming to see the commotion
I love how tense the scene is when mike and walt realize Jesse was caught only for it to instantly fade when victor kicks the cart and reveals his rage that Jesse followed through and walt knew he wasnt going to die
The guy on the phone with the police, isn't that John Barbour from the 70s-80s show "Real People"?
Good eye, and yes it was. I always watched "Real People" for Sarah Purcell though. :-D
@@stevepreskitt283 Oh no doubt, she was a truly beautiful woman with a sparkle that few possess.
None of this would have happened if someone had just walked out and told Jesse and Walter "Just remember who you're working for" when they met with Gus.
People are talking about Victor being seen, but this Gale incident literally allowed Hank to find out Heisenberg identity 💀
It was the book hidden in the bathroom that gave him away
Aaron Paul does such a outstanding job portraying the damage a life of crime causes. This sh*t affects him, _hard._ And I'm glad it does. If Jesse could just commit acts like this and move on, he'd lose that part of him we root for most. Killing someone shouldn't be easy. It shouldn't be something people just get over. The best example of why is Todd. Unlike what some people think, Todd isn't a sociopath. He regrets the things he does, but he still does them because they need to be done. Todd is more akin to how most media portrays characters that kill people. Didn't like it, but it had to be done, I feel bad, but I've gotten over it and I'm ready for the rest of the episode.
Todd was a psychopath
Todd is at least somewhat sociopathic. He didn't particularly care that much about killing Drew Sharpe. He doesn't enjoy it or anything, but he doesn't take it seriously either. Regret might be too strong a word for Todd's emotional involvement in this
Todd is absolutely some kind of 'path'. He is just too cold about killing, he kills people as if they were animals.
actor playing Todd ? no
character he played ? yes
With so many clips, Im convinced you can watch the full series on UA-cam.
2:47 Mike's eye raise says "You see my guy not only foiled your plan but also brought your guy back here. I always win" . Seconds later, he knows he did not and he loses his guy to a box cutter.
If only Victor had followed Lyle's example. Lyle wouldn't have let Jesse get away with that, and afterwards would still have made it to LPH to open the store on time.

You ever wonder if gus didnt kill jesies because then he would have been the bad guy like when the cartel killed his partner. He could have killed jessie and kept walt cooking no way walt would have stopped cooking if they threatend his family.
I think there is an element of that .. Jesse was Walts Parner, and Walt was Loyal to him... as Gus was to his original partner . Plus dont forget , Jesse just literally killed someone in Cold blood just to protect Walter , risking it all, and he did it because it was the ONLY move .. that takes major BALLS, planning in advance, and follow through which they did perfectly , completely outsmarting Mike, who is no dummy .. Gus really admired that kind of Loyalty and Precision .. So he did not kill Jesse for several reasons ... Victor on the other hand Effed up so many times here, its hard to even keep track .

one thing i never noticed not only was he seen but the guy was on the phone w the cops right when he was telling him he shouldnt step in due to it being a crime scene
The reason Gus killed Victor was simple: no half measures.
This scene where gale hits the heat gun onto the teapot shows where the bullet would go and get shot and die. Earlier in the show, we see Hank remove the tape of bullet holes on the RV door in the junkyard and the light goes thru the holes revealing where Walt gets shot later by his own gun popping out the trunk and die.
This is the moment Victor became a Looky Loo
You know what I find so interesting here is that Walter is a more evil character than Mike but Mike is scene as the antagonist here. Mike is seen as a criminal/hero providing for his family. I am still trying to find out why he actually wanted to kill Walt. I can tell he actually wanted to not just because Gus wanted him and Viktor to.
Truly, superb filmography but too damn heartbreaking...
Crime pays but botany doesn't
One of the only scenes where Victor is portrayed as a regular person who makes mistakes rather than an emotionless hitman. He could have been given so much more story and it could have began here.
Poor Victor, accidentally caused his own death.
The book at 0:32 is The Magnificent Activist: The Writings of Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911)
All Victor had to do when he saw the others was go "oh my god that's horrible I can't watch" as if he was very scared, then turn around and run out. The man on the phone and the other witnesses would have just been none-the-wiser and think he was just another innocent person who couldn't stand to see a murder scene and probably would have never been considered in police reports.
But he walked in confident, unshaken, possessive, and aggressive. He ignored the witness telling him to get out because it's a crime scene. I guarantee you those witnesses noted that in the police report.
Obviously. There was a sketch of Victor on the wall in the police station.
if he had the brains to do that he wouldn't even approach the bystanders in the first place
Eubank runs north and south and Spain runs east and west. They intersect in the northeast side of town
so walt knows he's gonna die so he kills gale so gus won't have a chemist. and gus had gale work under walt to learn his formula, but in case gale died, he told victor to learn the formula as well. then victor gets seen for no reason without a word to or from mike when he departs. it kinda minimizes all the main characters' contributions. gus was 1 step ahead, but victor took the bullet instead for plot convenience. like ik we wouldn't have gotten the box cutter thing, but this plot line woulda been perfect if there simply was not a victor wrinkle. just walt gets one over on gus. I feel like that's more satisfying than what we got personally.
