It's genius that Hank is actually a great agent, maybe the best the DEA has. The only reason Walt got away with things as long as he did was because of his connection. He was in Hank's blind spot.
“So how do you keep a secret from the worlds greatest detective? Well do you know? You stick it right in front of him, right under his long pointy nose, and wait!”
As long as he did also wasn't all that long if you think about how Gus was in it for decades and Walt was the most wanted man in the country within two years at most
Belief bias: when you ignore what your prefrontal cortex is telling you because your ‘lizard brain’ already ‘knows’ something else. Hank has “known” for decades that Walt is a derpy but pleasant failed businessman who’s now a half-decent school teacher. Facts have to push through a solid belief to get heard.
Rewatched and how Hank doesn't reveal the fingerprint until the others say he's gone too far. He gets their denials out in the open, gets them to say there is no connection BEFORE he supplies the connection. Being able to undermine their denial of a connection also undermines any other doubts that they may have about the evidence presented.
@@philmitchell91In fairness I don’t think that makes him a bozo, Hank proved he’s at least an above average detective on more than one occasion. It’s realistic that even a skilled person like him would overlook a family member. No one would’ve came close to finding Walt or Fring if it wasn’t for Hank. Fring was doing business for years under everyone’s nose so I’d cut Hank a little slack.
@@philmitchell91 It wasn't that long in real world time, though. I think it was around a year, or just over. That's pretty good for a guy who had only known Walt as the meek loser for over a decade.
One thing I really liked about Hank was how he often came across as a brash goofball, always joking around or throwing out insults but when the time comes to put in the work, you realize how he got to where he is in his career: he's really good at what he does.
I've seen interviews with real detectives and the good ones aren't all dramatic and aggressive they can joke around. It's all to make you comfortable and believe they're your friend.
What I like about this scene is how Hank is trying to set the whole thing up for them because he knows without going through the process of selling this there's no way they'd seriously consider it. Really the fingerprints alone would've atleast gotten Gus questioned but he needed the extra step so that they'd be on the same wavelength about it as Hank is.
The way he anticipates and addresses every concern is amazing. After I saw this the first time, I immediately rewatched it from the perspective of how you want to present things at work.
I feel like this was a really poor way of telling that story. In the real world, his superiors would have yelled at him for wasting their time and not mentioning the fact that Gus' fingerprints were in his apartment earlier, or at least, before they told him he was stupid for thinking that Gus had anything to do with it. I feel like it was a cheap and frustrating attempt by the writers to make Hank appear more clever than he really is. It's like the writers watched a bunch of Columbo episodes, but didn't fully grasp the way his deviousness worked.
Hank was pitch perfect in this scene. He knew very well that building a case against Gus Fring's meticulously crafted public persona was going to be a tough uphill battle. So he had done his homework, he followed every possible line of inquiry to its limit in order to gather as much suspicious details as possible, then he methodically laid them out one after another, and had enough patience and foresight to keep his trump card - Gustavo's fingerprints - in reserve, to be brought out only after he was brushed off. A less experienced officer would lead with the fingerprints, would be brushed off as a coincidence, and wouldn't have anything else to bounce back.
The fingerprints get Gus Fring questioned. The way Hank sold it changes the conversation. If it's just the fingerprints, then the detectives are looking for any excuse from Fring. He could say something like Gale Bedeker was a friend, we would have dinner together sometimes. But by selling the story first, the detectives are now going to press him harder. How did you know Gale? Why were you two discussing industrial air filters that happen to be manufactured by your parent company? What did Gale need that air filter for anyway? Why is he visiting you at work but you visit him at home? It's the difference between a thorough interrogation and quickly dismissing a coincidence.
If only hank had been watching the show all along [SPOILER ALERT STOP READING IF YOU ARE...YA KNOW....idk it's been 12 years, but still don't wanna lay this on someone if they still haven't somehow watched it]... . . . . . . He'd still be alive if he just watched the damn show.
Just a masterclass in acting. To anyone who cares, he had to memorize that monologue and most likely perform it 6-10 times as the camera crew changed angles for reaction shots, close ups etc. Maintain the same cadence, same volume, tone, and performance with every take...should have won an Emmy for it. Unbelievable how effortless he makes it look.
Sounds like you've only done student films, if at all. Scenes like this are rarely done with only one camera. You also only use one voice take during editing so unless the actor does a wildly differently-paced take, it shouldn't be hard to make them connect during edits. And reaction shots might not even be done with Dean Norris in the room - for all you know, it's Aaron Paul doing the reading because he happens to be on set. Or it could be the producer.
Yea...i took a degree in animation...also has acting in it for some reason...i love acting tho...and i can say with confidence...its pretty easy...unless the scene involved a lot of screaming and "trembling" in voice(both of these are hard to maintain bcoz of energy and consistency)or just a single camera angle(honestly if this is the case...its a bad script writing)...audience got easily bored with a single camera angle and a long long monologue But yea..scenes like this could be done easily..but hey i am just a university student..what do i really know

Take your half a million of cash out of my sight, Walt. I'm trying to find Heisenberg who's been selling for meth for at least half a million dollars, probably in cash.
he's actually really good, but you never expect your BROTHER would be the one behind a _meth empire_ even if you were really diligent, if you had all the evidence that one of your loved ones was a federal criminal, you'd at least have a bit of a denial phase, right? it's easier to take down people you couldn't give less of a shit about than to do that to someone you're that close with
2:30 "Now, Madrigal is based in Hanover, Germany, but they're what they call 'highly diversified.' Industrial equipment, global shipping, major construction, and..." and a factory in Chicago that makes miniature models of factories.
It took me like a solid 2 minutes to get because i knew that was from something but I couldn't figure out what. Someone needs to give you a fucking medal that was awesome.
It really does get lost in the show because of the drama with Walt and Jesse, but Hank’s detective work throughout the show (aside from not picking up that Walt was Heisenberg until the end) was top fucking notch.
I thought about this, but Gale was probably the kind of vegan who took it very seriously and wouldn't give his business to Pollos at all because even if he's not eating the meat he'd still technically be funding the slaughter of chickens.
Call me an armchair detective or whatever, but surely Hank had said enough even before the fingerprints. Sure you can't look squarely at Gus yet, but Gail having the part number for something bought from a company that has ties to Los Pollos written on a Los Pollos napkin is already extremely suspicious.
I thought that to be a weak case- like i have a fridge magnets from places Ive never been, take out menus from joints id never order from. They could come up with a hundred reasons why Gale could've had a Pollos menu. He could've met Fring for an interview, or just a casual meet as the Pollos Scholarship program paid for Gales education
It is, but as Steve said: “If your guy had a meeting in KFC, you don’t assume that is with colonel Sanders” And THAT is when the fingerprints come in to play
@@danielhenrique4466 well, you actually kinda would if you also knew that Col. Sanders makes industrial grade lab equipment which he seemingly just donated to Gale out of the kindness of his heart.
That seems like a stretch. It only proves he met at los pollos hermanos. Could’ve been Lyle or some other guy meeting him there for all they actually knew.
He absolutely said everything that needed to be said before the finger prints. Bettiger signed for a fucking industrial air filter delivered by the same company that owns sent by a company that for some reason owns a stake in Pollos Hermanos, and the dude has a booklet with faxed covers of their logo. Where did he get that from?
That's the hole in the plot. If Madrigal corporation is bankrolling Los pollos, why didn't they ask Gus about it in the interview. They're working with Gus and they're working with Gail. Too much of a coincidence.
in universe, Madrigal are an enormous global corporation with extensive reach. Without gus' name attached to something explicitly incriminating, a coincidence is all it is
It's because the others don't WANT Gus to be involved. They're willing to put the blinders on as much as they can because Gus funds them, and they wouldn't want it to be known they were gettings funding from a drug lord. And what better way to keep such a thing from coming out than to never find out about it in the first place?
That's not what a plothole means. Why do people assume characters being stupid/complacent/not thinking of something is a plot hole? Bad writing? Maybe. Stupid character? Maybe but not a plot hole
This guy is such a great actor. I just re-watched the old movie Starship Troopers the other day and my jaw dropped when I realized he had a part in the movie, he's been at it a while.
And he looks exactly the same despite 10 years older. When he was in his late 20s he looked like a man in his 40s. When he's in his 40s he still looked like a man in his 40s lol.
He has a small role in Little Miss Sunshine. They never in the same scene, but Hesenberg himself is also in the film set largely in the American Southwest.
Part of the premise of the show is that Walt is constantly being doubted. He's seen as weak, timid and it leads to many underestimating him and what he's capable of. Hank is probably the most active believer in that mindset when it comes to Walt. It's not like Walt has a history of crime or shadiness in any way so Hank wouldn't suspect him at all. He's known him for like 20+ years and always knew him as a straight arrow, beta, timid, lesser man. Walt only became a criminal for like the last two years of his life, anything shady that happened during those two years was explained away by him having cancer. Hank just straight up underestimated Walt's capabilities. That and the natural blind spot of him being family, it's not hard to see why Hank would overlook Walt.
These characters run deep He knew Walter was involved all along and let it slide. It wasnt till Walt was a raging sociopath again, did he have to bring him in or died trying
@@Mars-xc1ns Hank never knew Walter was involved until he found book. I don't know where you got this idea from but it's so false its funny. Hank would never think of Walter because of how he was a depressed high school chemistry teacher who is down on his luck then gets lung cancer. its just like Cardb33 said Walt is always doubt and written off because of this no one thinks he is capable of such things.
I do feel like hank had an inkling of a suspician when the high school chemistry equipment turned up missing on walter's watch. But then they arrested Hugo the janitor and hank forgot about it.
Let's be honest, there is no way a meth cook would be running a drug empire. If a cook stepped out of line, they would chain him to the lab under threat of killing his family and loved ones. Which is exactly what they did to Jesse in the last season.
That would have been an amazing scene. He wouldn't have squirmed so much as flinched just the tiniest amount as his mind worked the requisite gears into place. "This man applied for a job as a manager of one of my franchise locations. I am unusually particular about who I entrust with this privilege. So I decided to visit him for an, shall we say, unorthodox interview?"
the 2 at the table had it all laid out for them by Hank and they are lost....odd. All the lines point to Gus and no one wanted to think Uncle Gus was a bad dude
It's the absurdity. Gus spent his time building the exact public persona that would make it seem impossible that he would be tied to this. Hank's boss confirmed he used to have dinner and barbecue with the man at his house, he had a familiarity that created a blindspot just like what Hank had with Walt, plus the business he ran wasn't exactly a serious one. If Gus was a major night club owner or something, then this would be a much easier connection to make. But Albuquerque's Colonel Sanders also being it's Pablo Escobar? It's ridiculous on purpose.
@@fulsgarden6915 they were main characters, but I meant that the good natured part of the show was Hank. Watching it again for the third time, I realize his good nature.
BCS renders this scene nonsensical. With the pain that Gus and Mike went through to create the space for the lab there’s no possible way they’d have that air filtration equipment shipped to the city that the lab was going to be in let alone have their expert chemist/cook sign for it. They were too smart to be that careless
most have already said this but him not figuring out was probably because he looked down on walter , he did not know walter was that great of a chemistry teacher
@ yeah but they always portrayed him as someone who couldnt be taken seriously at times. I guess you could argue thats how he dealt with a very stressful job
Not the in the first season? Where he solo’d some drug pushers where Walt was on site. Or the next season, where he gets PTSD with Machete’s head on a turtle rigged to explode?
They have to be completely insane that Hank is just spilling out all the information that could interrupt the biggest meth empire is just bat-shit crazy! But, I like where the plot twists & makes my back hurt...
That might’ve been my guess too but the way Hank presented it? a bit convincing. Not too mention, the possibility of any romance doesn’t preclude business, work romances do happen
People might have written off Dean Norris as the "cardboard cut-out" guy but then he delivers these lines with so much passion.... it is insane. Also, when he faces Walt... "I don't know who you are....I' don't know who am I talkin' to". Fantastic performance.
For all of Gus' fastidious attention and care, he had some blind spots. Leaving the fingerprints in Gus' apartment, allowing Hank to get his fingerprints from the Pollos cup... but most careless of all is writing the part number on one of his Pollos logo sheets. Everyone has their blind spots, even Gus. Which is how Walt killed him.

I always had a feeling George Merkert was the real kingpin and he just kept Gus right outside of Hanks grasp totally aware of Hanks connection to Walt.
Thanks a lot. Your stupid bell alert made me think my phone had an sms, and I spent the next 5 minutes trying to figure it out, missing the video. Good job, twits.
This scene is truly flawless. Nothing within it that is not necessary, it's all pared down. Dean Norris plays the whole scene perfectly. His story arc in the show overall is masterful.
The finger prints were on the los pollos hermanos wrapper that makes sense. What's interesting during Gus's questioning is why didn't they ask about the Hepa Filter and who paid for it.
That was one of Hanks' best scenes. He is presenting his findings and analysis to his boss and co worker in a systematic manner. Originally Hank was supposed to be a very serious character but Dean Norris thought it was satire and read it that way and Vince Gilligan liked it and incorporated a lot of the sarcasm into the character.
I remember watching Hank's death when the episode first aired and man I've had very few nail biting moments like that, he was an incredible agent and a true family man - he went out swinging, one of my favourite characters in the whole BB universe.
The connection between Madrigal owning and shipping a 300k HEPA filter to town, that Gale signed for and which no one apparently paid for, and having Madrigal also own stock in the restaurant, would have more than enough to raise suspicion for further investigation in the connection. Then to find a connection between Gale and Gus would have made it even more obvious

This was Hanks way to deal with his Meth-Empire competitors and associates before he knew his brother in law is capable of building bombs.
That's the hole in the plot. If Madrigal corporation is bankrolling Los pollos, why didn't they ask Gus about it in the interview. They're working with Gus and they're working with Gail. Too much of a coincidence.
The hole in the plot is that "Chilean" Gus speaks Spanish like he learned it off the back of a shampoo bottle.
@@nickstone1587Hector too
in universe, Madrigal are an enormous global corporation with extensive reach. Without gus' name attached to something explicitly incriminating, a coincidence is all it is
It's because the others don't WANT Gus to be involved. They're willing to put the blinders on as much as they can because Gus funds them, and they wouldn't want it to be known they were gettings funding from a drug lord. And what better way to keep such a thing from coming out than to never find out about it in the first place?
That's not what a plothole means. Why do people assume characters being stupid/complacent/not thinking of something is a plot hole? Bad writing? Maybe. Stupid character? Maybe but not a plot hole
This guy is such a great actor. I just re-watched the old movie Starship Troopers the other day and my jaw dropped when I realized he had a part in the movie, he's been at it a while.
And he looks exactly the same despite 10 years older. When he was in his late 20s he looked like a man in his 40s. When he's in his 40s he still looked like a man in his 40s lol.
And Total Recall. He’s not exactly recognizable in that one though
And T2
its hank.. his name is hank
He has a small role in Little Miss Sunshine. They never in the same scene, but Hesenberg himself is also in the film set largely in the American Southwest.
how keen observation Hanks sniffs out Gus and also Hank who almost let his brother in law slide.
Part of the premise of the show is that Walt is constantly being doubted. He's seen as weak, timid and it leads to many underestimating him and what he's capable of. Hank is probably the most active believer in that mindset when it comes to Walt. It's not like Walt has a history of crime or shadiness in any way so Hank wouldn't suspect him at all. He's known him for like 20+ years and always knew him as a straight arrow, beta, timid, lesser man. Walt only became a criminal for like the last two years of his life, anything shady that happened during those two years was explained away by him having cancer. Hank just straight up underestimated Walt's capabilities. That and the natural blind spot of him being family, it's not hard to see why Hank would overlook Walt.
These characters run deep
He knew Walter was involved all along and let it slide.
It wasnt till Walt was a raging sociopath again, did he have to bring him in or died trying
@@Mars-xc1ns Hank never knew Walter was involved until he found book. I don't know where you got this idea from but it's so false its funny. Hank would never think of Walter because of how he was a depressed high school chemistry teacher who is down on his luck then gets lung cancer. its just like Cardb33 said Walt is always doubt and written off because of this no one thinks he is capable of such things.
I do feel like hank had an inkling of a suspician when the high school chemistry equipment turned up missing on walter's watch. But then they arrested Hugo the janitor and hank forgot about it.
@@theguycisterninoyelledat6272 The book giving it away was kind of dumb.
Supreme writing and a perfect delivery by all the actors.
Let's be honest, there is no way a meth cook would be running a drug empire. If a cook stepped out of line, they would chain him to the lab under threat of killing his family and loved ones. Which is exactly what they did to Jesse in the last season.
That’s some damn fine police work, Hank
Surely Gus has a reasonable explanation as to why his fingerprints are in Gale's apartment.
That would have been an amazing scene. He wouldn't have squirmed so much as flinched just the tiniest amount as his mind worked the requisite gears into place.
"This man applied for a job as a manager of one of my franchise locations. I am unusually particular about who I entrust with this privilege. So I decided to visit him for an, shall we say, unorthodox interview?"
@@alchemyphoenix2374you say this as if there isn't a scene of gus explaining the fingerprints
@@alchemyphoenix2374 ...that scene exists.
He did
The detectives will just add the "reasonable explanation", to their suspicions. Does this explanation make sense?
1:52 gomey broke character
Like how they cut back to him 2 seconds later and he’s straight face again,😂.
😊😄😁...😐
R.I.P to the 20 Year old Temp that gave Hank information
the 2 at the table had it all laid out for them by Hank and they are lost....odd. All the lines point to Gus and no one wanted to think Uncle Gus was a bad dude
It's the absurdity. Gus spent his time building the exact public persona that would make it seem impossible that he would be tied to this. Hank's boss confirmed he used to have dinner and barbecue with the man at his house, he had a familiarity that created a blindspot just like what Hank had with Walt, plus the business he ran wasn't exactly a serious one.
If Gus was a major night club owner or something, then this would be a much easier connection to make. But Albuquerque's Colonel Sanders also being it's Pablo Escobar? It's ridiculous on purpose.
Just as Hank could never see Walt was a bad dude
So… imagine if you watched this show without ever seeing Gus’ empire. Could you still think that it’s unbelievable that Gus is a meth drug lord?
Hank was the genuine Heart & Soul of this show. Watch it again and you realize everything that he did was for the good. And, he was a hell of a cop.
Thank you! I agree 100%!
heart and saul
@@EthVortexShield Walt and Saul?
@@fulsgarden6915 they were main characters, but I meant that the good natured part of the show was Hank. Watching it again for the third time, I realize his good nature.
Hank was the good guy. If Walt and Hank’s POV were swapped on which was the main POV he’d been the protagonist.
BCS renders this scene nonsensical. With the pain that Gus and Mike went through to create the space for the lab there’s no possible way they’d have that air filtration equipment shipped to the city that the lab was going to be in let alone have their expert chemist/cook sign for it. They were too smart to be that careless
Really couldn’t believe when Hank finally found out Gus was the Harbor Bay Butcher all along
It’s me…I’m the butcher
Great detective work but Heisenberg right under his nose.
Very Death Note.
most have already said this but him not figuring out was probably because he looked down on walter , he did not know walter was that great of a chemistry teacher
Hank was a damn good detective.
One of the best cops on television. Hands down.
This was the scene where Hank went from goofball to, “oh now I see how he earned that DEA badge”
@ yeah but they always portrayed him as someone who couldnt be taken seriously at times. I guess you could argue thats how he dealt with a very stressful job
Not the in the first season? Where he solo’d some drug pushers where Walt was on site. Or the next season, where he gets PTSD with Machete’s head on a turtle rigged to explode?
They have to be completely insane that Hank is just spilling out all the information that could interrupt the biggest meth empire is just bat-shit crazy! But, I like where the plot twists & makes my back hurt...
The script is impeccable as is the acting.
Maybe they were just packing fudge, Hank.
Lol
Lmao.
That might’ve been my guess too but the way Hank presented it? a bit convincing. Not too mention, the possibility of any romance doesn’t preclude business, work romances do happen
Hank is a bloodhound which is probably why he untimely paid the price for that.
Poor Hank had it figured out so many times
"Him? The Chicken Man?"
"What a joke."
"I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you, you have to stop him, you-"
This is the moment the the Schrader sweet talk was used.
4:12 Come on Gomi, obviously Colonel Sanders is the main villain
Gomez in this scene is the perfect partner. He guided the conversation with his comments exactly where Hank needed. Great teamwork!
People might have written off Dean Norris as the "cardboard cut-out" guy but then he delivers these lines with so much passion.... it is insane. Also, when he faces Walt... "I don't know who you are....I' don't know who am I talkin' to". Fantastic performance.
Fringerprints.
Is still cant believe Gomey was the Hank's cook partner but it explains the Chili P
Hank is literally one of the best characters in the show. His detective work is always fascinating, and and he was a really well written character
Hank strikes me as more of a "sandals and socks" guy than Gale does.
Gale was 34 ? O_o
Nerds tend to look older
@@philmitchell91 Staying indoors all day preserves your skin
@@philmitchell91 lmao. you're saying this basing on... what? 😁
Story-wise yes. But the actor was 43 at the time of filming the episode.
Yes, google Gale Rule 34
For all of Gus' fastidious attention and care, he had some blind spots. Leaving the fingerprints in Gus' apartment, allowing Hank to get his fingerprints from the Pollos cup... but most careless of all is writing the part number on one of his Pollos logo sheets.
Everyone has their blind spots, even Gus. Which is how Walt killed him.
Sooner of later they all slip up. Gus did, Diddy did and Escobar did. Or when they become useless for their Overlords.
@@ItsShaggy3 makes me laugh thinking that there's some uppity Lydia type woman who got away behind the Diddy and Escobar empires 😁
@@ja3482 That Leslye Headland woman was the right hand of Weistein in all of the debauchery. She was the head director of the recent Flop Star Wars Acolyte.
@@ItsShaggy3 yeah but you and I know who she is. so she didn't get away with it like Lydia kinda did (lydia got killed but not exposed)
and presumably Headland is part of the RICO case so she may be going up the river.
@@ItsShaggy3 I know he’s terrible but it’s funny to put P Diddy in the same conversation as two drug king pins. Or actually, now that I put it like that it makes sense.
This is not just high quality investigation , but even better delivery of the message.
Such a great scene! Great writing and great acting!
This was Hank's Columbo moment.
Chef’s kiss. The whole damn show.
I saw the guy in the thumbnail and saw the name Gus and instantly thought, I don’t remember this part of Psyched at all
I always had a feeling George Merkert was the real kingpin and he just kept Gus right outside of Hanks grasp totally aware of Hanks connection to Walt.
That would’ve been a serious fricken twist damn. Then he would’ve been the one to take out Hank and not Jack and his gang
300k HEPA filter is the biggest crime here
He spoke with Lydia - wow this writing is top tier.
Thanks a lot. Your stupid bell alert made me think my phone had an sms, and I spent the next 5 minutes trying to figure it out, missing the video. Good job, twits.
This scene is truly flawless. Nothing within it that is not necessary, it's all pared down. Dean Norris plays the whole scene perfectly. His story arc in the show overall is masterful.
Brilliant writing and acting. What a series.
Hank was quite the talker😂. Pure charisma, and a great detective!
Hank was the best...
Legend has it Hank still stares at his bedroom ceiling at night wondering how Heisenberg was his brother in law.
Dean Norris absolutely crushes this. Amazing performance.
Dean Norris was epic.
He made Breaking Bad. ❤❤❤
The finger prints were on the los pollos hermanos wrapper that makes sense.
What's interesting during Gus's questioning is why didn't they ask about the Hepa Filter and who paid for it.
Probably Dean Norris' best performance... absolutely killed it.
He was better in Terminator 2. 😅
That was one of Hanks' best scenes. He is presenting his findings and analysis to his boss and co worker in a systematic manner. Originally Hank was supposed to be a very serious character but Dean Norris thought it was satire and read it that way and Vince Gilligan liked it and incorporated a lot of the sarcasm into the character.
Right after this scene they arrested Fring. He stood trial and peace was restored in Alberquerque.
Gus, Gale, and Heisenberg being the trinity killer was the biggest surprise ever
nah bro, they was the bay harbor butcher
I love Hank Schraeder. His instincts are so good.
I would watch a DEA show starring Hank and Gomey.
That tie is perfect for Hank’s outfit.
I remember watching Hank's death when the episode first aired and man I've had very few nail biting moments like that, he was an incredible agent and a true family man - he went out swinging, one of my favourite characters in the whole BB universe.
I cant believe that Hank was the bay harbour meth cook all along.
Hank is such a great cop
cant believe Hank is Heisenberg
What a great detective Hank was.
He was protecting our community!
These moments of the show where the characters basically demonstrate world class intelligence are kinda wild.
This is normal level intellect. They're trained detectives after all.
This isnt Sherlock Holmes level stuff. This is journo level research
So Gus fingerprints just suddenly appear on Gale's place? It's jimmy! he orchestrated it!
Not only was he good at his job, he's also good at presenting to management, and most of us know how stupid they can be. Well done.
Hank was natural po-leece.
The writing of this show was truly amazing. The acting was also top-notch.
03:39 "like maybe this guy"
Hank's boss: "Me??!!"
The connection between Madrigal owning and shipping a 300k HEPA filter to town, that Gale signed for and which no one apparently paid for, and having Madrigal also own stock in the restaurant, would have more than enough to raise suspicion for further investigation in the connection. Then to find a connection between Gale and Gus would have made it even more obvious
