@@mahammad it's his deep voice, you could hear it when hank confronted him in the garace " tread llightly" whenever heiseberg is the one speaking, also in this scene the cloud to add some extra dark feeling to the scene. but imo it comes off really cheap.
My opinion is that Gus had a different way of showing desperation and frustration. He did it by turning violent. Even though he looked like he was still under control, he was scared crapless of losing it and he knew he was losing it.
The entire landscape was beautiful but you can literally see hundreds of miles up there , perhaps a twilight meeting or a box canyon. Try to make it more of a challenge for his Brothet in law.
The entire scene from 0:50 to 1:45 The scene starts with the characters in the sun, but they quickly get covered in darkness as Walt explains how he's in control of the situation. During the entire time Walt is explaining how they can't kill him, they are all in shadow. But as soon as Gus starts explaining how he can kill Walt's entire family, the cloud above moves out of the way and the characters are in the sun again. Whenever Gus is in control in this scene, the characters are in the light and when Walt is in control, the characters are in the dark. Beautiful cinematography.
if you notice in the last season it's really obvious as more and more characters are shown with a light on them while Walter is in the background in the darkness
Gus' facial expression combined with his delivery of the line "What do you say?" might be the only time we witness the character being visibly baffled in the entire series! Giancarlo has really done an outstanding job on his performance as a whole!
0:38 That reaction from Gus is so unusual for him, especially after Better Call Saul. You can clearly see that Walt is the first big foil for Gus in a LONG time. Someone who doesn't give in out of fear like Nacho did (because of his life and his father). Someone who is not as level-headed as Mike is. Someone who pushes back. Someone who is dangerous.
only Walt and Lalo had Gus confused and abit upset for a second. Remember how Gus changed from smiley owner face to his serious face like multiple times quickly in few seconds when Lalo visited him? He got upset by Lalo when he was near him it was obvious. And Walt here answered Gus and got him genuinely surprised
I love how he lowers his voice when he threatens his infant daughter, as he realises he is going a bit too far with what he is saying, but says it nonetheless. That's the human behind the monster
I don't think he was bluffing or ever considered what he was saying to be going too far. While it's probably true that killing Holly would have been an absolute last resort to keep Walt in line, he likely would have done so with zero remorse if he felt it was necessary.
@@fossfox I disagree. I don’t think Gus is a complete psychopath, he shows some sympathy towards his employees for example throughout bb and bcs. I think even Gus would feel bad about killing walts baby. Prolly not Todd tho, Jack maybe
@@Glaedr11 maybe. But I believe Gus has shown sympathy multiple times when not necessary, also look at how he committed his life to revenge on the salamancas after they killed his friend/boyfriend
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor That, and he also failed to kill Walt in the first place, like he and Mike were ordered to. Mike only survived because he was far too valuable to Gus. Victor, on the other hand, was expendable.
What killed Gus, was his absolute obsession with Hector Salamanca. He could have killed him many times, but was hung up on humiliating him. Of course that led to his last visit where he was blown to bits...
Gus would probably just have them all massacred when Hank comes over for dinner and make it look like someone wanted Hank dead so bad that they took them all out.
Gus is betting that it would be easier for Jesse to deal with Walt's loss than with the loss of Walt. It's human nature to care more about people with whom we have a personal relationship.
The end of Gus story is inconsistent. Why Gus warn Walt that he will kill Hank? How Walt could be left free to roam by Gus without any surveillance after that? How Gus men could haven’t seen the bomb on hector chair, hector was just seen getting out of the DEA office? It’s a shame because Gus character is great but his end is cumbersome.
this is Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposit's (Gus) favorite scene. He loved how the cloud moved in and blocked the sun dimming the area, then moved out of the way. it was very natural.
Gus: "if you try to interfere, I will kill Skyler, Flynn, and Holly..." Heisenberg: "Pfft, whatever" Gus: "and, I will tell Lois on you" Heisenberg: *PANIC!*
Actually heisenberg will remain calm knowing Malcolm reese Dewey and Francis would somehow work out something to save his father not only from gus but also from lois
I really love how Gus seems genuinely taken aback on the line, "What did you say?" We've definitely seen real emotion from him in various scenes, but this is like the first time he seems to be trying to intimidate someone and it doesn't work, so he's kind of baffled.
I think it wasnt an accident, they were probably told to watch the shadow and Walter would need to come up with some lines until they were in the light again and then it was Gus turn to speak lines.
Actually Walt wanted to kill Gus before this, remember he said to Mike "get me in a room with Gus and I'll do the rest" just after Mike almost killed Walt.
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor True but Gus threatening Walt’s family made him more motivated and motivation makes someone more dangerous. Walt was lucky Gus needed Jesse on his side otherwise he would’ve buried Walt without a second thought.
I love his reaction to Walt calling his bluff about staying away from Jesse. Gus was literally, genuinely amazed, as well as confused, at the audacity of what Walt had just said in such a nonchalant manner: Gus: "Stay away from Pinkman." Walt: "Or what?" Gus: "WHAT do you say?!" (Mouth Agape) Walt: "Stay away from Pinkman, or else you'll do what?" As saul would say "I admire your cohones!"
I think that's another reason why Gus wanted walt dead so much was how not only unpredictable walt was but how he was always certain to rack up a body count in whatever plan he would come up with
Hold up, two questions since Gus fired Walter. 1. Does that mean he is also banned from Los pollos hermano's?, because if he were, then that would suck if someone wanted to eat there and Walter was with them and could not come up with an excuse or at least order to go, so would going in there mean a death sentence or would Gus still reluctantly serve him as long as he paid and left as soon as they were done eating? 2. Does that mean Walter can file for unemployment since he was fired, or does he offer a severance package as a consultant like with Mike in BCS. Can't turn down free money you know.
“What did you say?” Wow. The facial change, subtle but visible. Gus isn’t used to people not being swayed by fear tactics. When the villain sees he doesn’t have control.
I really love how the light changes naturally in this scene. It's symbolic and perfect. When it goes dark Walter is talking about death. And light again when Gus threatens him.
I loved this character. He was soooo good. I found myself becoming a fan of Gus. And then.... this scene. The reminder that he is an evil man and then I step back and question my own morals. Incredible scene. Well written and delivered.
Not even questioning his evil nature here (he’s a drug lord with body count in triple digits), what else was Gus supposed to say? The message was concise: “keep your money, Mr. White, stay away from the business, see you never”. Pulling off “or else?” was the opposite of smart in that situation. Walt allowed his ego to do the talking, Gus could not back off and… we got what we got. You don’t expect him to just smile it off with “you got me there, Walt, there’s nothing I can do, so have it your way” and go share an order of fried chicken, do you? I say, lots of men, good and bad, would have stayed alive if Walt could keep his mouth shut just for once.
I don't think Gus would ever kill Walt's chirdlen. He is not a psychotic monster, he is calculating buisnessman- he would kill only when it's necessary to protect his buisness. While threating was necessary to keep Walt in line, fufilling this threat would bring no profit other than blind revenge. He would kill only Walt and that's it.
@@gabrielbrzezinski4065 You don't think blind revenge is a motivating factor here? He literally massacres the Salamanca family. You could say it was to remove the threat of the cartel, fine, so why did he take time out of his purely business schedule to visit Hector and rub it in? Why did Hector know that Gus would come to personally kill him when he pretended to rat? Gus didn't forget, he didn't forgive, and he only spared people if killing them was a mercy. Even when taking their life had a cost to him, he wouldn't stop looking for a way so that it wasn't until he found it. He was hell-bent on getting revenge on Walt. Walt was a bigger monster in the end, but he knew about Gus from the start and his actions after saving Jesse made sense. He knew it was Gus or him, because neither of them could turn the other cheek for the sake of business like they claimed.
@@asytippyy352 No, I don't think Gus had a reason to seek revenge on Walt. Remember, Hector killed Gus'es boyfriend, so it's big trauma that Gus had to live with. Walt didn't harm Gus in any personal way, he was just a threat to his buisness.
It's a dry heat, sweat actually does its job in that case....never been there specifically but I know Florida it's hell....if you want to do cardio outside you better do it in the early morning right after sunset, especially in the Summer
Some might find that there's inconsistency with how Gus behaves here compared to how he is in previous episodes, but after watching Better Call Saul, it's apparent he has his own "Heisenberg", a dark persona that runs counter to his more mentoring nature. After wiping out the cartel and accomplishing a mission he had been waiting decades for, Gus seems more emboldened and willing to let that side of him show...not that dissimilar from how Walt changes after wiping out Gus's empire.
As I said in this comment ssection... the life corrupts you. It warps you and leaves you twisted and disgigured. It takes every last 'positive' bit of you out, grinds it to dust, and scatters it to the wind.
I like how awkward Walter was. You couldn't tell if he was scared or being a badass. Love the transition he goes from being a wimpy chemistry teacher to being a stone cold drug lord.
THIS is why Gus is the greatest villian in breaking bad, he's so calm and collected that seeing him show any emotion is downright terrifying. And it just goes to show how Walt really ruined Gus's game of chess with the cartel and he was just over Walts bullshit
Giancarlo Esposito said that this was his favorite scene of breaking bad and i almost have to agree becouse the level of acting and writting and everything is just on top in this Scene.
I love Breaking Bad one of the most original and addictive shows I ever saw. I watch it one episode after another, it was like a drug , if you pardon the pun. And the villian Gus? He was so menacing, you never know what he was going to do next.
Been watching Better Call Saul, on the last season now, going back, man is it satisfying seeing someone actually talk back to Gus like that and the look of shock on his face that someone actually did.
When it came to displaying betrayal/loyalty in stories, breaking bad might be the undisputed greatest. Everyone is loyal to the other to some degree while also having underlying loyalty when it came to real blood family and just plain old being a real friend and also when it came down to money and death. I just love Walt's loyalty to Hank even though he and Gus have been through quite a lot up until this point of the show and Walt still won't budge, not to mention Jesse not budging for Gus either to give up Walt. Just brilliant
Walter was cool with hank dying in his place if the twins killed him, Walter is the most selfish person in the show, he is the biggest and worst monster, you gotta watch more than once to completely understand the story and dynamics
@@calvinhiggins271 you are absolutely spot on. This is what makes breaking bad such an interesting series, they managed to glamorize an extremely horrible human being who is also a massive egomaniac.
@@calvinhiggins271 What absolute bullshit. Walter wasn't cool with Hank dying at all. He offered his entire fortune to Jack to try to convince him to let him live. And he went to war with Gus after this scene because Gus was going to kill Hank and he wasn't willing to sacrifice any member of his family.
Walt wasn’t just asking a question. He was gathering information. When he threatened to kill his family, Walt knew what had to be done. Gus sealed his own fate.
This is one of the only times Gus lost his cool, the others are when lalo tricked him, when Hank asked if Gus was his real name and when Hector started to ring the bell
They have like 8 locations, just don't go when Gus is there Also begs the question that Gus was always at the same location? Owner doesn't usually show up at places like that but who knows?
Well, temporarily until he finds a suitable replacement, then Jesse will “go missing”. He doesn’t like Jesse any more than Walt, but knows Jesse isn’t as big of a threat. A liability and loose cannon sure, but not as big of a threat.
Being from Albuquerque New Mexico...it happens more often than you think. It's very beautiful but the weather is like a woman...it can't decide weather to be hot or cold, cloudy or sunny, rain or fog, snow or hail, blah blah blah 😂
Gus is bluffing here. He knows it. Killing the entirety of Hank's family after he accused him of being a Kingpin would be perhaps the stupidest move ever.
He wasn't going to kill Hank's family (which is... just Marie, actually) - just Hank. And yeah, sure, it could lead to problems, but Hank was more dangerous. Nobody else really supported his investigation. Also, other cops he could hope to buy - but for Hank it was personal.
@@remphz3321 they wouldn't know that - the only reason the twins knew is cause a 3rd party, Gus, told them. Whether or not the twins relayed that info with their lack of interest in communication is up to you
This is probably the single most haunting monologue in the entire series - when he goes on about Walt's actual family members. If Walt would've just kept his mouth shut, he could've been 'fired' like a bad Los Pollos Hermanos employee.
0:51 It wasn't in the script, but the cloud (actor which played a cloud) improvised and casted a shadow to make the scene darker and more intense. Vince liked it so much they keeped filming.
I honestly don't find it believable that Gus would handle this situation in this way. He literally just experienced Walt running over those drug dealers, the very incident that led to their falling out resulting in this scene in the first place. There's NO way he could ever believe Walt would just sit back and accept Hank getting murdered without doing everything in his power to stop it.
As others have mentioned, the clouds blocking the light was perfect. Obviously, it was unplanned, but the choice to interlace that moment that way was brilliant - the contrast between the tight close-ups on their faces and then showing them small and almost insignificant in the vast landscape was very effective. The cinematography in this show was so well-done. The attention to detail was impeccable, down to how the colors of Walter White's clothing changed throughout the story arc. There have been very few shows I have enjoyed as much a this (and "Better Call Saul"). I think that aside from the obvious of the writing and acting, it is these sorts of production values that work on an almost subconscious level. It was only when someone mentioned the colors of the clothing, for instance, that I became fully aware of it. Yet it probably worked on my brain in a subconscious way. Brilliant stuff from top to bottom.
This is very relatable. When I got fired from kfc I also got kidnapped and sent out to the desert, thank you breaking bad for normalizing this!

@@gabrielbrzezinski4065 You don't think blind revenge is a motivating factor here? He literally massacres the Salamanca family. You could say it was to remove the threat of the cartel, fine, so why did he take time out of his purely business schedule to visit Hector and rub it in? Why did Hector know that Gus would come to personally kill him when he pretended to rat?
Gus didn't forget, he didn't forgive, and he only spared people if killing them was a mercy. Even when taking their life had a cost to him, he wouldn't stop looking for a way so that it wasn't until he found it. He was hell-bent on getting revenge on Walt.
Walt was a bigger monster in the end, but he knew about Gus from the start and his actions after saving Jesse made sense. He knew it was Gus or him, because neither of them could turn the other cheek for the sake of business like they claimed.
@@asytippyy352 No, I don't think Gus had a reason to seek revenge on Walt. Remember, Hector killed Gus'es boyfriend, so it's big trauma that Gus had to live with. Walt didn't harm Gus in any personal way, he was just a threat to his buisness.
*YOU ARE DONE*
Walt with Hank's voice: I dunno Gus(...)
………. you’ve been seeming a little SUS lately (…)
It's as if we have an imposter among us.
I saw that you-
No DON'T LIE TO ME GUS!
@@geckuchicken8355 you sussy hags
Gus is really wearing a full on dress shirt and tie with a coat in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Now that's a real Gus Fring move.
It can get pretty cold and windy in the dessert.
I'm hungry for some dessert myself 😋
He’s from Chile, he’s used to the heat.
It's a dry heat, sweat actually does its job in that case....never been there specifically but I know Florida it's hell....if you want to do cardio outside you better do it in the early morning right after sunset, especially in the Summer
New Mexico average elevation is 5700ft above sea level. It looks sunny but it ain’t hot.
Gus’s reaction to Walt’s “or what?” is the funniest thing to see lol
I love the nature aspect in this show, the wide open skies
Me too
Gus hands down the best character
saul is the best charachter so good he got his own show. second is walt, third is heul. 4 Tuco, 5 Tio, 6 Ted.
Imo it would be :
1 - Walt
2- Jesse
3 - either Gus or Hank
4 - either Gus or Hank
5 - Saul
@UCU6xsXpslmjtIToIp1Ja-AQ Ted??? He was pathetic dumbass
@@smokelife6315 Saul was a great character but we have yet to know anything about him in breaking bad. I'd say he's the third best character.

Nice bro
I don't get it.
0:55 Tell me that's not Mike's voice lol
Lmao
Mike's soul went inside of Walt for a few seconds
Walt’s voice sounds so sinister. I love it
Some might find that there's inconsistency with how Gus behaves here compared to how he is in previous episodes, but after watching Better Call Saul, it's apparent he has his own "Heisenberg", a dark persona that runs counter to his more mentoring nature. After wiping out the cartel and accomplishing a mission he had been waiting decades for, Gus seems more emboldened and willing to let that side of him show...not that dissimilar from how Walt changes after wiping out Gus's empire.
As I said in this comment ssection... the life corrupts you. It warps you and leaves you twisted and disgigured. It takes every last 'positive' bit of you out, grinds it to dust, and scatters it to the wind.
I like how awkward Walter was. You couldn't tell if he was scared or being a badass. Love the transition he goes from being a wimpy chemistry teacher to being a stone cold drug lord.
this is the moment holly became rick grimes
COOOORAAAL
Lmao I love these jokes
How hard this scene is, and how puffy, and perfect the clouds are...
That’s the moment Gus became speechless
Love how gus starts threatening walt's family seconds after mike is not present
Gus was always so calm and composed no matter what, yet Walter managed to get under his skin and really piss him off.
0:33 Walt : Ok but I can still order a chicken in your restaurant , can I?
Gus: *stares at Walter menacingly for a few sexonds* "Sure."
Gus sounded almost shocked when Walt said "Or else you'll do...what?"
THIS is why Gus is the greatest villian in breaking bad, he's so calm and collected that seeing him show any emotion is downright terrifying. And it just goes to show how Walt really ruined Gus's game of chess with the cartel and he was just over Walts bullshit
That tends to happen when you are Gus and you plan to kill Walt after Gale has learned your formula
Giancarlo Esposito said that this was his favorite scene of breaking bad and i almost have to agree becouse the level of acting and writting and everything is just on top in this Scene.
I love Breaking Bad one of the most original and addictive shows I ever saw. I watch it one episode after another, it was like a drug , if you pardon the pun. And the villian Gus?
He was so menacing, you never know what he was going to do next.
It’s an absolute masterpiece of a show.
@@chasehedges6775 It's a 8.5/10
@@pbluma 9.4/10 actually
thats how Jeff Bezos would love to fire everyone who gets fired at Amazon..
I see a fly omg
Been watching Better Call Saul, on the last season now, going back, man is it satisfying seeing someone actually talk back to Gus like that and the look of shock on his face that someone actually did.
I love that little smirk when Gus says: "for now"
When it came to displaying betrayal/loyalty in stories, breaking bad might be the undisputed greatest. Everyone is loyal to the other to some degree while also having underlying loyalty when it came to real blood family and just plain old being a real friend and also when it came down to money and death. I just love Walt's loyalty to Hank even though he and Gus have been through quite a lot up until this point of the show and Walt still won't budge, not to mention Jesse not budging for Gus either to give up Walt. Just brilliant
Walter was cool with hank dying in his place if the twins killed him, Walter is the most selfish person in the show, he is the biggest and worst monster, you gotta watch more than once to completely understand the story and dynamics
@@calvinhiggins271 walt cares about hank
@@calvinhiggins271 you are absolutely spot on. This is what makes breaking bad such an interesting series, they managed to glamorize an extremely horrible human being who is also a massive egomaniac.
@@calvinhiggins271 What absolute bullshit. Walter wasn't cool with Hank dying at all. He offered his entire fortune to Jack to try to convince him to let him live. And he went to war with Gus after this scene because Gus was going to kill Hank and he wasn't willing to sacrifice any member of his family.
@@calvinhiggins271 are you an idiot?
It's amazing how we still don't know if Gus was just Bluffing to scare Walt or he actually would've done it.
When he threatened to kill Holly, that’s when I started to hate Gus
At that point it's just another body.
@@robertthomas5906 Killing someone is one thing, but killing a bad/child is horrible
Hence why I hated Todd so much
Lol, you started to hate Gus then? Double digits...
@@codyhiginbotham6616 so how did you feel when Gus ordered Tomas’ death?
@@aOrtega. Hated that too. Still hated when he was gonna kill Holly, because she was an infant
Gus should probably have stopped while he was ahead. He was signing his own death warrant once he got to talking about killing Walt's family.
or maybe he could just kill walt right here but Walt has the plot armor
Did you not watch the show@@RazorunDayisi
People unsure if Gus ordered the killing of that one kid.
2:18
Oh ok this clears everything up.
Gus is dressed to be in a winter city in this hot desert, shows how much calm and collected he is
Deserts aren’t always hot
@@evilsimeon yes they are
@@ratedr7845 no, they are not.
Do you see anyone of them sweating ?. The weather was cool and dried.
@@evilsimeon Yeah. Ice cream is a dessert.
Walt wasn’t just asking a question. He was gathering information. When he threatened to kill his family, Walt knew what had to be done. Gus sealed his own fate.
Giancarlo said this was his favourite scene in the show
Gus: "I do not believe fear to be an effective motivator."
Also Gus: constantly uses fear as a motivator
This is one of the only times Gus lost his cool, the others are when lalo tricked him, when Hank asked if Gus was his real name and when Hector started to ring the bell
When Gus said “what did you say?” I was afraid for my own safety.
"May I still eat at Los Pollos Hermanos, please?"
They have like 8 locations, just don't go when Gus is there
Also begs the question that Gus was always at the same location? Owner doesn't usually show up at places like that but who knows?
I love how offended Gus looked when Walt, even in the predicament he was in, still went ahead to call his bluff.
I love how Gus wants Jesse dead at first, but realizes training him to run the lab is actually better than putting up with Walt's antics.
He was controllable...walt wasn't
@@aakarshverma5793 exactly Jessie has low self worth so u pump his head up n he will listen
Walt is so toxic that drug lords have to distance themselves from him for their own mental health
Well, temporarily until he finds a suitable replacement, then Jesse will “go missing”. He doesn’t like Jesse any more than Walt, but knows Jesse isn’t as big of a threat. A liability and loose cannon sure, but not as big of a threat.
This level of acting from Giancarlo.... Priceless
I love how a cloud hovers over them as they’re talking. I don’t know if it was planned or it just happened while they were doing that shot
In interview with Giancarlo Esposito, he said it happened randomly, just out of nowhere 😂 what a coincidence
Apparently God wanted this scene to be perfect
bravo Vince controls the weather 🥺😳
Being from Albuquerque New Mexico...it happens more often than you think. It's very beautiful but the weather is like a woman...it can't decide weather to be hot or cold, cloudy or sunny, rain or fog, snow or hail, blah blah blah 😂
How would you plan could movement
I love how the clouds just went in to hear Walt speak and then left immediately once Gus started speaking
This is the moment Gus sealed his fate. Little did Gus know, whatever Walter touched withered and died.

Gus was truly insane for wearing a woolen overcoat in the sunny desert and not even breaking a sweat.
He made a enemy who was capable of replacing him, a enemy who knew his enemies, a enemy who knew his weakneeses. Dont offend the wrong person.
Walt: "jesse dont kill gustavo's dealers. Lets just make the money, leave and live happily for the rest of our lives"
Jesse: "Ok"
Happy ending
Gus is bluffing here. He knows it. Killing the entirety of Hank's family after he accused him of being a Kingpin would be perhaps the stupidest move ever.
He wasn't going to kill Hank's family (which is... just Marie, actually) - just Hank. And yeah, sure, it could lead to problems, but Hank was more dangerous. Nobody else really supported his investigation. Also, other cops he could hope to buy - but for Hank it was personal.
Not really. Hank killed 2 cartel members. Plus they already thought Hank was crazy with the Gus front situation
@@remphz3321
Hank killed 1 Cartel member - in a firefight where they had the drop on him, 2 or 3 months ago. Not great evidence.
@@kiratherenegade1561 killed tuco as well
@@remphz3321 they wouldn't know that - the only reason the twins knew is cause a 3rd party, Gus, told them. Whether or not the twins relayed that info with their lack of interest in communication is up to you
Still the most terrifying, end of your seat scene ever in TV history of all time.
(imo anyway)
The relationship between Gus and Walt can be summarized in one saying.
“As you are I once was. As I am surely you will become.”
nice
the shock in Gus' face after Walt's "or else you'll do what" bluff call is brilliant. Giancarlo's acting >>>>>
0:54 he sounds like mike
Thats what I was thinking
Yeah he kinda!
all old white men sound the same
0:03 Me when I wake up from 10 hours of sleeping
Hes so cold inside, he has to wear a coat when hes in a desert.
This is probably the single most haunting monologue in the entire series - when he goes on about Walt's actual family members. If Walt would've just kept his mouth shut, he could've been 'fired' like a bad Los Pollos Hermanos employee.
0:51 It wasn't in the script, but the cloud (actor which played a cloud) improvised and casted a shadow to make the scene darker and more intense. Vince liked it so much they keeped filming.
"What do you say?" Gus, always poised and with perfect grammar except after Walt talks back to him. I love that little slip up.
I honestly don't find it believable that Gus would handle this situation in this way. He literally just experienced Walt running over those drug dealers, the very incident that led to their falling out resulting in this scene in the first place. There's NO way he could ever believe Walt would just sit back and accept Hank getting murdered without doing everything in his power to stop it.
As others have mentioned, the clouds blocking the light was perfect. Obviously, it was unplanned, but the choice to interlace that moment that way was brilliant - the contrast between the tight close-ups on their faces and then showing them small and almost insignificant in the vast landscape was very effective. The cinematography in this show was so well-done. The attention to detail was impeccable, down to how the colors of Walter White's clothing changed throughout the story arc. There have been very few shows I have enjoyed as much a this (and "Better Call Saul"). I think that aside from the obvious of the writing and acting, it is these sorts of production values that work on an almost subconscious level. It was only when someone mentioned the colors of the clothing, for instance, that I became fully aware of it. Yet it probably worked on my brain in a subconscious way. Brilliant stuff from top to bottom.
"But you're supposed to give me 2 weeks while I train my replacement."
I hate how Walter did so much for Jesse and in the process he lost Gus’s respect. And Jesse turns around and goes against him
Walt just can’t stop flexing any microscopic amount of power he has left here. He just cannot shut his mouth.
And who won?
cause he’s him that’s why
Plot twist: Gus wasn't going to kill Hank but instead break into his house and steal his rock collection
MINERALS!
i love how Gus was most likely exaggerating or bluffing but Walt panics and freaks out after getting back home
Something tells me Gus wasn't bluffing.
gus already tried to kill walter after this scene. if walt didn't kill gus gus would've killed him.
