OH SHIT

[grantlogan]

What does the cartel want? Could it be Walt?

[Trichocyst]

I definitely feel like it could be. Either to kill or cook.

[vagus]

Spoiler: show

Cartel wants them to cook. Nice work by Hank with his detective work. If Walt gets 7.5M a year, how much does Jessie get? Also with this much money being involved, i don't understand why Jessie's place or any other place is being monitored. I'm curious who in the police office does Gus have in his pocket. If Walt's sun works for Gus, could get interesting fast. Great EP.

Called it on the Jesse thing. Neener Neener.

[Weeks]

So Gus is going to ask Jesse to kill Walter, as a scheme to get him to kill Hank instead.

Ending was badass... one of my favorite episodes because of the last 15 or so minutes.

I love how this show can leave stuff alone just long enough for you to forget about it, and then bring it full circle to show how everything is interconnected. Absolutely fabulous storytelling...

Something I just thought of, was something Jesse said in the first episode of this season while sitting in the diner with Walt after dealing with Victor. "He's not going to find another chemist. I bet it took him years to find Gale." Think about what Gus has dealt with as far as finding a chemist for his meth enterprise. He found the guy in Chile & payed for that guy in Chile to go to school. According to what he said to the police, he payed for Gale to go to school as well. If that story is true, I wonder if Gus made a scholarship system for young chemists to be. It'd be a good way to access up and coming chemists, not only having the skills to do the job, but the mind-set as well. It's a long time he's waited to get his business up and running.

yeah and both of them ended the same way, shot in the face, i wonder how many chemists hes had over the years? or if its only been those two?

[Myrrh_Quetz]

What I think is that Gus has had several chemists over the years but their product was mundane at best when compared to Walt's. Gale was prolly just his most recent attempt at getting a better product but then Walt's stuff showed up and it turned into a "We need that recipe" thing when he tried to get Gale to learn all of Walt's secret in the Blue Stuff.

[falloutboy14]

I'm more leaning to Gale being the first chemist in quite some time. First of all, they had to assemble the lab from the ground up. There wasn't any sort of structure in place when Gale started. 2nd, when Gus pointed the cartel brothers at Hank (the two guys who got in the gun fight with Hank in the parking lot), Walt said something to the effect of, "I appreciate the strategy. You bloodied both sides, both the Cartel & DEA. If you were able to have a source of meth on this side of the border, the potential profit would be immeasurable." That leads me to think that prior to working with Hank/Gale, Gus was importing his meth from Mexico.

Seconded. Fucking spectacular flashback and really great intrigue into Gus's past, easily one of my favorite scenes in the show.

That leads me to think that prior to working with Hank/Gale, Gus was importing his meth from Mexico.

Gus even asked the cartel leader on the phone right after the 2nd brother died "mysteriously" in the hospital that the "shipment would be delayed", pretty much saying he was receiving massive shipments of meth from the Cartel to sell and in-turn give tax to the cartel. I'd bet Gus had been planning his little meth coup since the flashback's present time after that shit they pulled, also why he probably had no problem fucking with the cartel member now in the old folks home.

He had been building Gale up for this industrial scale meth lab and the scholarship plan for chemists sounds pretty legit to have a crop of readily available cooks for his lab, just like his plan with the Chilean man no doubt. I cannot wait 'till they delve more into Gus's past in Chile though, especially with what the cartel leader said to him when he was watching the dude's skull bleed out.

Gus may not be a genius in the same sense as Walt, but nonetheless the dude is a genius. He's got ice water flowing through his veins, thinks on his feet, and aside from a short period last season when Walt went all maverick on him, he always seems to be 2-3 moves ahead.

[Doombear]

Well sure, since old dude is the one that blasted his partner's head off. I took his 'is today the day?' comment to imply that he is in there all the time fucking with him, making him wonder when he is finally just going to come in and end him.

Yeah I kinda got that impression too when he said that. Gus is way more maniacal then that though, he'd rather leave him alive and toy with him 'till he finally dies of old age, which is fucking sadistic lol.

Truth speak.

[Ohemgee]

season 1-3 on netflix streaming

[Olo401]

I have no idea where to begin.. the last two eps have been game changing.

[Trichocyst]

It's amazing how bad I feel for Jesse and how much I think Walt is a douche compared to the beginning of the series.
