  • Mike prepares to kill Walter but soon realizes he was outsmarted.
    Season 3 Episode 13 Full Measure: After killing the drug dealers, Walt has a tense meeting with Gus, who makes it clear that his patience has reached its limit. Walt professes not to know the whereabouts of Jesse, who he falsely claims has fled the state. Gus chooses Walt's new assistant, who turns out to be Gale. In a meeting with Gale, Gus says that with his overhead he cannot afford to lose even a week's production. Walt realizes Gus intends to replace him with Gale, the only other trained chemist, and that he will be killed once Gale masters Walt's procedure. After he is abducted by Gus's men, Walt calls Jesse and orders him to murder Gale, knowing that Gus will have to keep him (and by extension Jesse) alive once he is the only trained chemist left. Victor races to Gale's apartment to stop this, but Jesse arrives first and, after some hesitation, pulls his gun on Gale and fires.

    Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't." Walt or Heisenberg demonstrated in this scene that he had that will in spades.

He knows the exact position of Walt but he's uncertain of the velocity of which things are escalating, just like the principle.

      Yeah, I never got how angry Mike was with Walt. So much of the fallout was caused by Gus and Jesse (more those 2 than anyone else). Walt was just acting in the interest of himself and his partner. Gus also had a massive ego and lashed out by being dependent on a druggie and an unprofessional chemistry teacher. Mike blaming Walt for that when all Walt was doing was acting in self preservation (and preservation of Jesse). Mike is no dummy; he know the only reason Gus was going to use Jesse was because he deemed he was easy to manipulate. So the fact that Mike likes Jesse would lead you to think he would side with Walt and Jesse (or at least sympathize with them) over gus. But no, his rage is all directed at Walt. It is like they forgot that Gus was going to have Jesse killed and Walt protected him; that is what triggered this whole thing. Gus was always planning on replacing Walt with Gil. Mike clearly knows what is going on and yet he blamed it all on Walt. "Because of your pride and your ego". Non it was Gus's pride and ego coming into conflict with Walt's Ego and desperate actions of self preservation.
      It is one thing in the series that always bothered me.

    I feel like one of the biggest strengths Mike has is also one of the biggest flaws is his confirmation bias. He’s so often proven right that he routinely assumes he’s right or underestimates the people around him. He gets outplayed here by a man he assumed was just in over their head like Pierce or Warner. He thinks that Saul is just some flashy ambulance chaser and instead goes to someone else to hide his money, leading to his getting caught. He thinks his actions in working for Gus against the Salamancas are justified, but Nachos dad shows him he’s just the same. In all these instances he’s been so confident in his judgement that he doesn’t even stop to consider he’s wrong, and all of that leads to his downfall.

    Mike should've killed Walt here.
    He did a half measure when he should've gone all the way.

      He should’ve killed Walt before he had a chance to bargain with his Jesse chip, but Mike got greedy thinking he could get both of them.

      What Mike should've done was wait in the lab for Walt to arrive and kill him with a bullet to the back of the head without him knowing he was there.

    You know, there is one inconsistency. In BCS Mike is the one that helps Saul find the Kettlemens by telling him that they’re probably still in the same neighborhood. I feel like someone as smart as Mike would have figured that Jesse was still in town and found him in no time…

      Why though? Jesse is a single guy on the run from promised death with money in cash. He can be gone. Kettlemens had children and their house.

    What amazes me about this scene is how Walt changes from scared and frantic to cold and calculating, and Mike does just the opposite.
