Gale Boetticher , B. Gus Fring hired Walter White after Gale praised a sample of Walt's blue meth as the purest he'd ever seen. Following this point, Gale became Walt's lab assistant. Gale holds an MS degree in organic chemistry and is a specialist in X-ray crystallography. He described his political views as libertarian , and had an open-minded attitude regarding meth.
A self-described "nerd," Gale was single, vegan, apparently quite cultured, and was perhaps near to being an intellectual equal of Walt.
As a side project, he was working on a process for brewing a superior cup of coffee, and impresses Walt with his results " Sunset ". Despite Walt respecting and enjoying working with Gale, he was forced to fire him in order to prevent Jesse from filing a lawsuit against his brother-in-law Hank.
Eventually after Walt murdered two of Gus' employees to protect Jesse, Gale would be reinstated as Walt's assistant. Nonetheless, Gus' true reasoning for this was to have Gale master Walt's cooking technique in order for Gale to take over the lab himself and have Walt murdered for killing his employees. However, in a desperate attempt to save their lives, Walt orders Jesse to murder Gale in order for them to be the only meth cooks capable of producing "Blue Sky" available to Fring, which Jesse reluctantly did by shooting Gale in the face.
Gale's murder and the subsequent investigation by law enforcement would eventually lead to Hank discovering that Gustavo Fring was a meth kingpin, indirectly leading to Fring's own death and the destruction of his entire empire as a result of Walt's actions. Gale's death also indirectly allowed Hank to discover that his own brother-in-law was the elusive meth kingpin "Heisenberg" after discovering a book personally given to Walt by Gale himself.
This would ultimately lead to White's own downfall as well. This scholarship honored Gustavo's closest friend, Maximino Arciniega. Gale was a recipient of the scholarship perhaps one of three dozen , and this paid for his education " Hermanos ". Gale had been pursuing his doctorate at the University of Colorado under an NSF grant but realized that it was not the life for him because he loves being in the lab and wanted to preserve the 'magic' he saw in chemistry.
Gale presents Gus with a hidden case containing methamphetamine vials of varying chemical purity. Dismissing the samples as "dreck," Gale urges Gus to allow him to produce higher-grade meth in his lab. Gus politely declines, saying such action is not needed yet and that Gale is meant for "better things.
Gus later appears to change his mind and hires Gale as his meth cook and Gale visits the excavation underneath Lavanderia Brillante.
Gale is excited at the prospect of cooking in what will become a meth superlab, but Gus stresses that he won't begin work until the lab is complete " Winner ".
Gus originally intends for Gale to be his sole meth cook. Gale excitedly uses a box cutter to unpack the machinery and assemble the new superlab. Thus, it was the urging of Gale that caused Gus to put aside his reservations and hire Walter " Box Cutter ". However, Gale and Walt's relationship sours abruptly. After Walter learns of Jesse Pinkman 's intentions of pressing charges against Hank, Walt realizes he must fire Gale and re-hire Jesse as his partner.
Walt, angling to install Jesse as his lab assistant, accuses Gale of making an error with the temperature on one of the tanks. Gale assures Walt that he was told to set it at 75 degrees as he had this written down in his notes, but Walt angrily tells him that he must have heard him wrong and that there's no room for this kind of negligence in chemistry " One Minute ".
The next day, Gale finds out that he is being replaced and is, understandably, confused as to what he has done wrong. Walt tells him that although he sees Gale as a promising young chemist, the two of them work at different frequencies. Using music types as an analogy, he refers to himself as "classical" and Gale as "jazz," saying that although there is nothing wrong with jazz, Walt requires classical. It's at this point that Gale meets his replacement, Jesse, who enters the laboratory wearing baggy clothing and emoting in slang, further confusing and dismaying Gale " I See You ".
Later, after the killing of two of Gus' dealers at Walt's hands to protect Jesse, Walt and Gus meet in the New Mexican desert to discuss future arrangements. Since Jesse is on the run and in hiding, Gus informs Walt that he will require a new lab partner.
Walt says he can get on it right away, but Gus informs Walt that this time, he, himself, will choose. Later when Walt returns to the lab to work, he notices Gale's Subaru Outback parked outside the laundromat. Walt seems to recognize it and its owner from the recumbent bicycle that is attached to the roof of the vehicle. Gale had been appointed by Gus to replace Jesse as Walt's lab assistant.
Gale has seemingly forgiven Walt for letting him go previously and the two shake hands. Gale promises that there will be no mistakes this time. Walt and Gale, wearing their yellow coveralls and ventilation masks, are working together in the laboratory and tend to contents of a large tank. Gale punches something into a console and Walt tells him that everything is good.
They remove their ventilators and Walt tells Victor , who is now supervising all activity in the laboratory, that it is safe to remove his mask as well. As they're cleaning up the floor, Gale asks Walt if Victor ever leaves and Walt tells him that his presence is something new and that there was some drama with the person Gale replaced. Gus asking Gale to learn Walt's formula as soon as possible to prepare for the "worst case scenario. Later, as Gale is watering plants in his apartment and singing along to music, he receives an unexpected visit from Gus, whom he addresses as Mr.
Gus inquires about his knowledge regarding Walt's medical condition. When Gale reveals that he is ignorant, Gus reveals Walt's cancer diagnosis and says that they must "prepare for the worst case scenario.
Gus tells Gale that if push comes to shove, he will have to take over the lab as soon as possible. Gale is visibly confused and reluctant to accept the offer. Gus pressures Gale to master the cooking process as quickly as possible; to learn Walt's method and formulas as fast as he can.
Gale agrees to take over the lab full-time after one more "cook. A single resigned gaze. Emilio Dies in : The pilot Heartbreak level : Zero?
Are we horrible if we say zero? Later, Walt and Jesse destroy the body with acid. He has a frightening natural affinity for those dangerous, deadly choices, and he makes them with a detached calm.
The opposite of Stockholm Syndrome is sometimes called Lima Syndrome, when captors develop sympathy for their victims. That happens to Walt, and to a greater extent to the audience, as Krazy-8 sits in the basement, helpless, pathetic, describing himself as a family man, and rejecting sandwich crusts.
Decrepit, child-abandoning Spooge gets his head crushed under a stolen ATM, and as much as it plays like a borderline farce, the rest of the episode is incredibly sad. Still, a machete beheading gets our attention.
Drug-dealer Combo reappears in flashbacks in season three, and we learn that he was sort of a fun guy, at least a fun enough one to give Jesse an RV. On BB , the strange answer seems to be that the lack of action is the more reprehensible choice. If anything, most of the deaths on the show are just backdrop — desensitizing both viewers and characters to the concept of murder. The Salamanca twins kill ten people all at once, yet it barely registers as sad.
The Cousins strike again, this time axe-murdering a cop before the opening credits. Too stressed out for heartbreak. Marco Salamanca takes out a random passerby before setting his sights on Hank. You mess with Hank Schrader, Hank Schrader messes right back. At the end of one of the most tense, exciting sequence in TV memory, Hank manages to take down half the deadly duo sent to kill him.
Leonel and Marco were, to this point, interchangeable, but imagine being the twin who survives. Gus double-crossed the cousins by ordering them to kill Hank and simultaneously tipping off Hank himself. With the odds stacked against them by their own employer, the ruthless brothers were caught in what felt like an unfair fight. That said, they were hardly innocent and had a lot of blood on their hands. Marco's twin brother, Leonel, was also employed by Gus Fring.
Together, the two hit men racked up a huge body count and made offerings to a Mexican deity of death each time they took on a new assassination order. Neither Marco nor Leonel were meant to be sympathetic characters, but the well-trained killers were placed in an unwinnable position when they were betrayed by the same man who employed them.
High-strung and anxious, Lydia Rodarte-Quayle served as Gus's secret partner and emerged as an unlikely ally to Walt in the aftermath of Gus's murder. In the end, Lydia aligned herself with Jack Welker and his murderous gang out of self-preservation. Cause of Death: Lydia was poisoned by Walt with ricin after she preemptively called on Jack to kill him. Although Walt's actions put Lydia in an unenviable position, her selfish nature left her with a lot of blood on her hands and it was difficult to conjure up much sympathy for her death.
Often referred to simply as "Tio," Hector was one of the most feared men in Mexico due to his reputation as the right-hand man of Don Eladio Vuente Steven Bauer. Cause of Death: Hector was killed by a pipe bomb strapped to his own wheelchair so that he could take Gus out with him. In his frail old age, Hector became a shadow of his once-formidable self and relied on his nephews and relatives to care for him.
After his family died due to Gus's calculated revenge, Hector had nothing left. While dying, though, he was able to get his long-awaited revenge on Gus.
Highly intelligent and calculating, Gus was a drug boss, philanthropist, and owner of the fried-chicken chain Los Pollos Hermanos. Gus served as a buyer and distributor for Walt and Jesse's enterprise, but his seemingly friendly demeanor soon turned deadly when the pair threatened his success.
Cause of Death: With Walt's help, Hector sacrificed himself to get revenge on Gus, who was killed by a pipe bomb attached to Hector's wheelchair. Blinded by his own personal revenge for Hector, who killed his partner Max James Martinez 20 years prior, Gus let his guard down at the worst possible moment and paid the ultimate price. After No-Doze made a seemingly harmless remark reminding Walt and Jesse who they work for, Tuco's temper exploded and he started beating No-Doze.
No-Doze may not be a major character on the show but his graphic death carried heavy implications for Walt and Jesse and caused them to realize that they were in over their heads working with Tuco. After Jesse's friend, Skinny Pete Charles Baker , informed him that an addict called Spooge David Ury robbed him, Jesse tracked him down to his house to reclaim the stolen crystal meth.
Jesse soon realized that the Spooge and his partner lived in squalor with a neglected child. Inconsequential as Spooge's death may seem, it acted as a wake-up call for Jesse and forced him to reexamine the impact that his product had on his buyers, like the pair of addicts and the toddler they left behind.
Victor Jeremiah Bitsui was a loyal employee of Gus and often worked alongside Mike during hits, stakeouts, and cover-ups. On the third season, Victor covertly studied Walt's method and procedures while he cooked meth for Gus. Cause of Death: Gus slit Victor's throat with a box cutter to prove a point. But instead of punishing Walt and Jesse, Gus unexpectedly killed Victor before their eyes. His shocking and brutal death showed that Gus wasn't afraid to kill his own. Combo's death was an unfortunate casualty working as a drug dealer on the lowest rungs on the ladder.
His death proved that Jesse and Walt needed to be careful not to overstep into rival dealers' territories and burdened Jesse with guilt for involving his friends in their business.
Domingo "Krazy-8" Molina Max Arciniega was a solo drug dealer and manufacturer who accused Walt of being a snitch for law enforcement. After Krazy-8 and his cousin were lured into his RV, Walt caused an explosion with phosphine gas, killing his cousin and giving them time to lock Krazy-8 in Jesse's basement.
Cause of Death: Walt ultimately strangled Krazy-8 with a bike lock after Walt realized the dealer was about to kill him with a sharp piece of a broken plate. Walt initially offered Krazy-8 food and water while he was locked up. Once Walt realized that Krazy-8 was going to try to kill him, he decided to commit murder. Krazy-8 was one of the first characters that Walt directly killed, and the action put him one step closer to becoming the feared drug lord Heisenberg.
Gale Boetticher was a highly intelligent, mild-mannered, and well-studied organic chemist hired by Gus to set up his superlab and cook meth under Walt's supervision. Once Walt realized that Gus intended to replace him and Jesse with Gale once he mastered Walt's recipe, Walt ordered Jesse to kill Gale and make them invaluable for producing their blue meth.
It is heart-wrenching to watch Jesse struggle in the final moments before he pulled the trigger on Gale. Although death has followed him and Walt from the minute they started working together, Jesse never thought of himself as a murderer. Walt was once a nervous chemistry teacher who eventually transformed into the most notorious drug kingpin in New Mexico.
