I looked it up too... Gus never noticed Walt . Gus actually sharted before he made it to the car. He refused to use hospital bathrooms as they are too filthy for his suit... But when we was almost at the car, he stopped and made sure there were no witnesses in the car park, then he sharted. Upon knowing this (guards obviously knew too) they immediately went to secure location where Gus has a fresh set of undies. Ask the writers...
I was 100% expecting this to happen. There's a few times where Gus looks right at a certain spot and I assumed he saw someone and just pretended to look around like he didn't know. That or unconsciously he saw something and it made him feel like something was off without consciously knowing what it was.
Like in Pirates of the Caribbean when Capt Jack Sparrow looks at the guy from his binoculars and the guy is staring straight at him. He takes off the binoculars and the guy is right in front of him. Scary af, even for the audience
For those wondering what happened here: Gus realized that things were not making sense. Jesse had him come to the hospital. He then told him that a sick child had been poisoned and they don't know how. Who would've poisoned the kid and why? He knows it wasn't him. Then he realized that his car had been left unguarded. He put two and two together and concluded that the poisoning might have been a plot from the cartel or Walt to lure him out.
@@jonty.chappell5375 Lalo was more of a foil to Mike than Gus though.. but yeah by definition he technically could've been considered a foil to Gus as well.
Gustavo was a smart man. Put all the pieces together and knew this was the perfect opportunity for Walt to get him and walked away. Too bad he had that one exploitable weakness.
its crazy just how well shutting himself off to emotion and being cautious worked for him him wanting hector dead was an emotional burden that he couldnt let go of and it killed him
@@pab1972 There's a scene in Gomorrah (I can't link it because UA-cam took it down and I can't give too many details because it would spoil some of the reason for tension) where Trak, Bomber, and some other Camorra soldiers are aggressively eating spaghetti and they hear a knock at the door. They all give each other a look, but when they answer the door, no one's there.
This scene really shows you how Gus was always one step ahead of Walter. He did not notice anything unusual but he figured this would be the perfect opportunity to take him out. He even knew that Walter might be on the rooftops if he were to watch from a distance as that is the best vantage point. Truly brilliant screenplay.
@@htconexify Gus couldn't predict that Walt would ally himself with Hector Salamanca... Walt was responsible for Tuco's death so they were enemies as well.... Walt had to poison Brock and damn near almost get himself killed to create this opening for Gus... Even for Gus to die, Hector had to kill himself...
For some people who still don't know why Gus walked away. Gus just heard Jesse say that Brock was poisoned by someone and it was pretty clear that Jesse was accusing him of poisoning Brock. However, Gus knows he didn't poison Brock which means someone else must have. It would be one strange coincidence for the kid Jesse cares about to be poisoned in a way that it looked like Gus did it. Which means that there must have been some deeper plot behind it all. Which is how Gus realised that something was wrong.
Cranston does a very good job of moving in a way that reminds us that Walter is out of his depth. I mean, all of breaking bad happened in the span of 2 years.
@@SpicyDragoon honestly more like his family. If Walt didn't have his family or didn't care about Jesse as much as he did he would literally be unstoppable. Just look at season 5. Walt is not only able to topple Gus but bring about an equally effective empire in far less time and arguably being even more ruthless. But once again his family and friends is what grounds him
@@olofacosta3192 he only builds said empire because he gets in contact with Lydia, who had worked for gus before him. All of the work building the empire had already been done long before Walt got there, he just took it over.
People…. GUS DID NOT SEE WALT! Vince Gilligan confirmed that Gus didn’t see Walt, the reason he didn’t get in the car is because he had a feeling something seemed sketchy but he never saw Walt for the millionth time
Like those are your guys opinions but to me it definitely added to the scene. The heart beat up until the sudden stop when Gus walks away. And the descending part when Walt breaks down and even the subtleness after
Gus' deduction skills were on point, starting with Jesse's accusatory and flinching response in the chapel, plus the mention of poisoning, which would be the perfect way for him to be framed for Brock's condition after Jesse saw him poison the cartel. That car just looked like a sitting duck by the time he got halfway there. I was glad Gus prevailed.
Because gus never had any idea Walt had that past with hector and kind of saw the nursing home as a safeplace not thinking for one second Walt had any idea he'd be there. Wonderful plan and execution
I love that Tyrus and the other henchman never question why Gus suddenly just stopped and seemed to stare off into space for several minutes. They don't try to coax him into doing anything or disrupt his thought process. They just immediately follow his lead and let him do whatever it is he's gonna do.
I think the idea in the show (which makes sense) was that Gus realized he was being drawn out in public by Jesse so that Walt could take a shot at him. He realized in the prior scene in the hospital that Jesse was basically accusing him of poisoning Brock, and also that Jesse had demanded Gus come to see him when he sent Tyrus to pick him up first.
I think lalo left a huge mark on gus. the ptsd gus got from lalo is what also stopped gust from entering that car. Lalo totally shifted how gus views situations like this. knowing how tricky and smart lalo was in capturing gus, gus definitly learned that lesson in dealing with walt. Which is why its so impressive that Walt still got him lol
It's less about having a sixth sense and more about gus being "a cautious man." I think he worked out that the likelihood of a trap being here is not 0%, therefore he will not take the risk
@@user-de2px1ed8k yes, it's central to the plot that gus' need to be cautious is only trumped by his hate for hector. That's how walter managed to finally kill gus
The amount of stress that Walter was put through in this season was intense. Gus was also under a lot of stress as well. He was put in a position where his entire business was in jeopardy because he couldn’t kill Walt. It was the greatest game of chess to witness. Jesse never fully understood what Walter had to go through.

The reason gus knows is because at this moment in time we think he poisioned brock, but later we know its walt. In this scene, gus knows he didnt poison brock, so something is off for Jesse to think so, so he thinks a trap is being set up.

An under-appreciated aspect of this show, specifically season 4, is the way it uses music so effectively. The electronic and slightly industrial tinge is so good.
@@jstdun his barrels were 80 million but he only started making all that money when he partnered with Declan and sold to the Czech Republic. If you remember that gus’s contract was 3 months for 3 million, Walter didn’t complete his contract so I doubt he was paid.
0:27 Plot Twist: The real reason Gus stops here is not because of a potential bomb Walt has allegedly planted. It's not noticeable from our perspective due to the camera angle. However, Gus spotted that his Sunroof was open. And so he connected the dots & realized that someone, Defecated Through His Sunroof. Slippin' Jimmy strikes again... lol
Gus is crazy as hell he's like a robot or something. But if you see the scene in Better call Soul when he speaks with his employee's after Salamanca visits him he's the nicest and kindest man ever.
Gus is genuinely one of the most complex and intelligent characters in TV history. If Walt was a certified genius by helping make Gray Matter yet couldn’t run a drug empire for more than a few months, then Gus was the Einstein that ran it for a decade while balancing family, Los Pollos Hermanos, the DEA and rivals
@@abeedeahmed5626 The best thing about Gus is that I haven’t watched Better Call Saul, yet. So, I know that I still have a lot more of Gus to look forward to.
I remember first watching this scene I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for Gus to die.. then his spidey senses kicked in and it turned into a huge disappointment
1:38-1:40 it looks as if Gus is staring right at Walt . Is it me or is this the same parking garage where Mike took the gun away from Negans lackey in Better Call Saul?
For the people in the comments apparently it was just Gus's gut feeling and he didn't see Walt. Which makes sense because Gus didn't act like he saw Walt and if did he didn't do anything about it.
I like how Gus' thugs don't question why he's stopped. They just start watching the flanks to make sure no one comes from behind while Gus is distracted looking out at the rooftops. Shows that he chose his men well.
Gus can sense Walt’s ki nearby. Last time Walt tried this attempt, Gus almost went to the tunnel while driving but casually continue in a different direction when he realizes the tunnel was actually a wall painted as a tunnel.
I don't know if anyone noticed this but in the minute 2:27, Walter is about to cry, his last plan so far had failed and he lost hope little by little. Bryan Cranston's performance and music make a very good combination in this scene.
I always wondered what tipped Gus off. But I was rewatching the show recently and figured he realized something was up when Jesse insinuated that Gus was the one who poisoned Brock. Knowing that he wasn’t the one who did it he must have realized that Walt was planning something after his conversation with Jesse in the hospital.
Gus had "You can't fast travel when the enemy is nearby" message popped up.
Lmao
LMFAO . Nice.

This is the best scene in all of breaking bad and better call saul universe
i remember having chills for this entire thing
I like how walts binoculars have red lenses, that together with the glasses kinda makes him look like the devil with his horns.
1:35 Walter looks practically demonic.
Dr. Eggman

An under-appreciated aspect of this show, specifically season 4, is the way it uses music so effectively. The electronic and slightly industrial tinge is so good.
Walt looks badass with the bandaid
Ikrrr
Bandaid Walt is the most dangerous TV show character ever.
You may not drive now, there are monsters nearby.
For some reason I remember it as him trying to snipe Gus.
Gta v has a mission kinda like this, where you snipe a dude in a parking lot
@@dwagin6315 Hn, cool.
Damn that makes me want to go back play that what good memories.
@@dwagin6315 Snipe a dude from a parking lot.
@@dwagin6315 i think it was an assassination for lester, anyways its 100% similar
1:44 the ultimate game of where’s Wally?
On the big white building
Imagine gus came back after walt removed the bomb like: “sorry i left my phone in there”
this is the moment gus walked around
You know with half a billion dollars in the bank you think he could afford better binoculars
Wasn't it like 80 mil. I mean your point is still valid, but half a billion? Where did you get that?
@@jstdun Walt only started making the big bux during s5
@@Jimbob-pq8mz his barrels of money were 80 mil if I'm not mistaken
@@jstdun his barrels were 80 million but he only started making all that money when he partnered with Declan and sold to the Czech Republic. If you remember that gus’s contract was 3 months for 3 million, Walter didn’t complete his contract so I doubt he was paid.
Walt had no money here.... I believe he might've had like $50k....
I've only just realised this is the same parking lot that Mike had his run-in with Hector from GTA5.
fun fact: at the end it’s the same background music in this scene as when jane dies
Stupid cameraman giving away Walt's position.
Here, Walt is sporting the venerable Casio calculator watch in black resin.
0:27 Plot Twist: The real reason Gus stops here is not because of a potential bomb Walt has allegedly planted.
It's not noticeable from our perspective due to the camera angle.
However, Gus spotted that his Sunroof was open.
And so he connected the dots & realized that someone, Defecated Through His Sunroof.
Slippin' Jimmy strikes again...
lol
Lalo paranoia
This is the moment Gus looked
The OST is superb.
Walt looks like eggman when you see him staring at the camera with his binoculars
This is one of the most frustrating and intense scenes in the whole show
Imagine if Lalo Salamanca is who gus is thinking about right here that makes him walk away from his car with suspicion
I like to think that Gus always does this when going back to a vehicle, just in case.
Gus is crazy as hell he's like a robot or something.
But if you see the scene in Better call Soul when he speaks with his employee's after Salamanca visits him he's the nicest and kindest man ever.
The music in the Breaking Bad universe is truly second to none. Truly.
Gustavo Fring, a man who for a very long time, led an even more charmed existence than Walter White.
Gus is genuinely one of the most complex and intelligent characters in TV history. If Walt was a certified genius by helping make Gray Matter yet couldn’t run a drug empire for more than a few months, then Gus was the Einstein that ran it for a decade while balancing family, Los Pollos Hermanos, the DEA and rivals
@@abeedeahmed5626 The best thing about Gus is that I haven’t watched Better Call Saul, yet. So, I know that I still have a lot more of Gus to look forward to.
@@robynharris7179 Same 😄
2:12 i love the direct allegory "the bird flew out from the cage"
Plot Twist: Gus does this everyday
"I always think everything could be a trap. Which is why I'm still alive".
-Prince Gustavo Humperdink.
The reason Gus doesn’t get into the car is because the bomb isn’t up to Los Pollos standards
I remember first watching this scene I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for Gus to die.. then his spidey senses kicked in and it turned into a huge disappointment
Walt's head was so shiny Gus saw a white glint like a sniper scope
1:38-1:40 it looks as if Gus is staring right at Walt . Is it me or is this the same parking garage where Mike took the gun away from Negans lackey in Better Call Saul?
It looks the same but I’m sure it can’t be as they wouldn’t have had that meet in a hospital car park I’m sure
For the people in the comments apparently it was just Gus's gut feeling and he didn't see Walt. Which makes sense because Gus didn't act like he saw Walt and if did he didn't do anything about it.
@@bobhenry6159 no he didn’t. Walt had binoculars and could barely make out his face.
Its funny cause next episode Walt has his own "sixth sense" moment like gus did here
This is the moment when Gus decides to get some fresh air and go for a walk.
Damn such good work on the soundtrack
What's the soundtrack name
One of my favorite scenes in this show
I like how Gus' thugs don't question why he's stopped. They just start watching the flanks to make sure no one comes from behind while Gus is distracted looking out at the rooftops. Shows that he chose his men well.
This is the moment when Gus became Spiderman
I was on the edge of my seat first watching this. Such a great scene.
I noticed the music that plays when Jane dies plays when Gus doesnt get in the car
Gus can sense Walt’s ki nearby.
Last time Walt tried this attempt, Gus almost went to the tunnel while driving but casually continue in a different direction when he realizes the tunnel was actually a wall painted as a tunnel.
I don't know if anyone noticed this but in the minute 2:27, Walter is about to cry, his last plan so far had failed and he lost hope little by little. Bryan Cranston's performance and music make a very good combination in this scene.
Is that synthesiser doing a downwards barbershop audio illusion in the soundtrack?
Walt was so committed to making this guy explode
I always wondered what tipped Gus off. But I was rewatching the show recently and figured he realized something was up when Jesse insinuated that Gus was the one who poisoned Brock. Knowing that he wasn’t the one who did it he must have realized that Walt was planning something after his conversation with Jesse in the hospital.
This is the moment Gus realized he left the gas stove on
Man, I remember the absolute gut-wrenching tension of watching this scene the first time.
