In fact, Hank was the one who killed Tuco during a shootout. Gus then advised the Cousins to carry out a hit on Hank, giving them a pass since the DEA was usually off-limits. Before the Cousins could assassinate Hank in a shopping center parking lot, Gus called the man to warn him about the attack.
As Hank is leaving his disciplinary meeting, he receives an anonymous call from Gus Fring, warning him that he is about to be killed by Leonel and Marco Salamanca (Daniel and Luis Moncada) in revenge for killing Tuco; though Gus has told the brothers to target Hank instead of Walt, Gus's intention is the destruction of ...
Hank was the one who actually killed Tuco in a season 2 shootout, so his demise should satisfy the Salamancas at least until Walt is no longer useful to Gus. If they are successful at killing Hank, the Cousins may be held off long enough that Gus can get what he needs out of Walt, so Gus wins.
We learn that Gus found about Walter's brother in-law in season 2, episode 13 when he's visiting the DEA and notices Walt's picture on the Save Walt jar in the office. He asks Hank about it, Hank says it's his brother-in-law, and Gus donates.
As a DEA agent, Hank lead the investigations of the methamphetamine cook "Heisenberg" (unaware for over a year that he was actually his own brother-in-law), as well as Gustavo Fring and his drug empire.
Lalo Salamanca is simply a psychopath. His way of thinking is different than most people's. Unlike Jack Welker, Salamanca isn't motivated by the moment's pleasure. Lalo Salamanca is just being who he is.
Henry R. "Hank" Schrader is a major antagonist in the Breaking Bad franchise, serving as the central antagonist of AMC's Breaking Bad and a minor antagonist in its prequel series Better Call Saul.
Don't forget, Hank had given up investigating Gale and thought he was Heisenberg, but Walt drunkenly told him to contiune looking for the real "genius". This caused Hank to re-open the case and eventually led him to evidence incrimitating gus and eventually to Walt himself (the book signed by Gale).
Gale asks Gus about the blue meth being produced by chemist Walter White. Gus explains he has reservations about hiring Walt, but Gale insists Gus hire him because of his superior product.
After doing a recent rewatch of the show, I think Hank originally obsesses over Heisenberg to get his mind off of his PTSD, and eventually continues to obsess over it to conquer his PTSD. First, the Heisenberg case is used to avoid going back to El Paso.
Cranston told Here & Now's Robin Young that the men crawling on the ground are worshippers of Santa Muerte, a dark off-shoot of Catholicism. "The Santa Muerte is a deity that does not discriminate on what your prayers or wishes are," Cranston said.
With Tuco distracted, Jesse overpowers him and wounds him with his pistol. When they see a vehicle approaching in the distance, Walt and Jesse quickly crawl into hiding. Hank arrives at the hideout and gets into a shootout with the wounded Tuco, whom he kills in self-defense.
In Breaking Bad, who warned Hank (Dean Norris) about the cartel hit and saved his life? It was none other than Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) who contacted Hank about an impending cartel assassination attempt, despite being the one who ordered the hit in the first place.
Gus and Max's relationship was long implied to be more than business before their confirmation as lovers by showrunner Peter Gould in 2022.
Not looking at Gus is a sign of disrespect. Hector hates Gus but doesn't have a lot of ways of showing it. He's been reduced to a little man in a wheelchair while Gus just keeps growing in power and influence. Since he happily shot Gus' lover, Max, he has to know that Gus revels in his misery.
Gus Fring tipped Hank off. Even though he did send the brothers to attack Hank in the first place, he warned Hank so that he would be aware of what's going on and proceed to kill them, thus wrapping up a loose end.
The most gruesome and gory scene in the series occurs in episode two when Walt and Jesse have to disolve a dead body. A man walks out of a room with half his face blown off. A severed leg is seen in the background during this briefly.
He also acknowledges that he owes Gus his life for misdirecting the Cousins. They talk about future business and Gus offers to pay Walter $15 million per year to cook for him.
Gus invites Walter to dinner somewhat near to the the theft commited by Jesse. Hence, according to me, gus was somehow aware of the theft of drug from the lab (ofcourse done by Jesse), presumed that both Jesse and Walter were involved in it and therefore advised Walter not to repeat the same mistake.
After Walt tries one last time to intimidate Saul into doing his bidding, his cancer rears its ugly head in a series of coughs that bring him to his knees and let Saul know big bad Heisenberg is no more before he leaves for his new life in Omaha.
It is shown in the show directly that Walter White outsmarts Gus Fring. Not just Gus Fring , Walt outsmarts everyone. In the end, Gus Fring is killed by Walt White which is a clear indication Walter is smarter than Gus.

While Jesse Pinkman is technically a villain and someone who would typically be hated on most shows, in Breaking Bad he is the most likeable character. While he cooks meth, kills people, and generally just causes problems for people, he is showcased in a really positive way.
