Trivia: Aaron Paul has “no half-measures” tattooed across his bicep. “The moral of the story is: I chose a half-measure when I should have gone all the way. He recounts being a cop who attempted to scare an abusive man straight, only to have the scumbag murder his victim two weeks later. In Mike’s best monologue of the series, he explains to Walt why he needs to address Jesse’s plan to kill two drug dealers against Gus’ wishes. Jesse threatens that if he’s ever taken into custody, he’ll give Walt up. More importantly, he’s got another one up his sleeve: the great Heisenberg. Jesse rarely gets the best of Walt, but after being beaten and bruised by Hank, he’s got a Get Out of Jail Free card. Hector responds by attempting to drown the offending brother to prove a point: Don’t turn against family, no matter what. The move marks the beginning of the end for the killer twins, as well as the first sign that he’s ready to cut ties with the cartel, as the attempt goes against the expressed wishes of Juan Bolsa, who dies soon after at the hands of Mexican federales (also a Gus move).Īfter one brother breaks the other’s toy, the wronged kid tells Hector he wishes his brother were dead. With these words, Gus sets in motion the ill-fated assassination attempt of Hank. Period.” Saul goes on to give them the (seeming) answer to their prayers: the opportunity to work with a distributor, who we eventually learn is Gus Fring. After Walt and Jesse suffer the setback of Combo’s murder, he says: “Look, let’s start with some tough love, all right? Ready for this? Here goes: You two suck at peddling meth. It’s hard to imagine, but there was once a time when Saul Goodman could blatantly disrespect the great Heisenberg to his face. Having nothing but his badass attitude and staring-contest skills, Walt successfully gets two tough-looking meth wannabes to leave his territory after he catches one of them buying supplies for a cook. This is almost a precursor to Walt’s “Say my name” speech in season five. The line was designed to throw Tuco off his game, and it worked, allowing Jesse enough time to hit him in the head with rock. We tried to poison you because you’re an insane, degenerate piece of filth, and you deserve to die.” It was an incredibly ballsy thing to say, considering Tuco had an automatic weapon in his hands. Remember the days when Walt was clearly a better human being than his meth peers? We couldn’t help but cheer for him when he put Tuco in his place: “We tried to poison you. ‘You’re an insane, degenerate piece of filth, and you deserve to die.’.
