Gale Boetticher Explains Heisenberg's Level Of Brilliance To Gus Fring

Definition of curiosity killed the cat.

Why Gale explaining why he can't reach it giving Gus a reason to eliminate him.

Only a real dumbass talks himself out of a very high paying job...

BRO I DIDNT KNOW HE PLAYED GALE. Ever since i watched Suits i could never see anyone this guy plays as someone who isn’t manipulative or like passive aggressive

I got here after I realize this mf is daniel hardman

Aww man. The homage! Gale was a secret weapon of Gus' for his revenge. He could cook a product up to the standard of at least 96 percent purity. Jesse kills Gale, and then eventually replaces him as Gus' cook/weapon in his plans for revenge. During Jesse's cook for the cartel, his product results in a 96.2% purity. Gus nods approvingly.

So Daniel Hardman was a chemist before he became a pain in the ass lawyer.

Speaking as an analytical lab tech that deals with pharmaceuticals , in chemical terms, a 3% difference in purity is extremely vast. The difference between passing a batch for consumption and failing a batch for rework can as little as 0.05%. A 3% boost in purity could be the equivalent of hiking to the bottom of Everest versus scaling the summit. Gale was absolutely astonished by the purity of Walt's product and with good reason. Jesse was correct is calling Walt's product and "art".

Chill out Gail, meth heads don't notice 3% diff.

Damn, Daniel Hardman really went off the deep end after getting voted out by Jessica

Moment when Gus took the worst decision of his life

This is the moment Gus and Gale signed their own death warrant

Which episode is this?

that box cutter at the end brought back memories of the violent scene where Gus kills that guy in the lab

Remember what Mr Frinks Goal is...

Gale’s knowledge proved life is unfair and there is no God.

That extra 3 percent cost both their lives.

Damn, another brilliant scene. The writing, the acting...AHHHHH!

Chimps only have a 1% difference in DNA than humans and see how that worked out.

Which season and episode is this?

Gale insisted Gus to have Walt as the chemist, Gus declined, Gale insisted again, Gus declined. Gale continued to cook for Gus.


..END OF STORY..

I feel like Gus could have played it smarter. Instead of playing it off as not worth pursuing, he could have issued it as a challenge to Gale. Something to overcome. Had he done that, Gale might have overcome that 3% and everyone involved would still be alive.

Now there's a model employee, a man who cares so much about quality that he's willing to talk himself out of a job if he doesn't believe he can deliver.

Curiosity ends up killing the cat in this one…

Casually grabs THE box cutter in the last sec...

Gale wanted to die so bad 😂

I just realized gale is Daniel hardman from suits. He's a completely diff person in BB I couldnt even recognize it until years later.

Poor Gale, unaware that he was essentially sealing his own fate. 😢

This lead to his own death, pracing his killer, his big mouth got him killed. That's what started the chain event for meeting walter. He just fucked himself

Better call Saul broke the image of innocent gale in my mind

Gale: Give a gift to Walt
Walt: opens it See a book
Hank: takes a dump See the gift
😂😂

Gale was just a proper human being. He would do what makes him happy and let people be free to do what makes them happy ( or harm themselves or whatever). The point is, thats the true modus opreandi of a human being. Do what you feel is right and let everybody else do it themselves. People ought to have all sorts of considerations for other people and things on a global scale and for things that are not truly there in their life, just inside a screen or in numbers and data. No wonder there is an pandemic of depression when the word loads itself on each pair of shoulders out there

Gus really spared no expense that's a high quality box cutter!






Not to mention that south wall looks amazing!

Fring’s knowledge that he’s nonchalantly sauntering on Lalo’s grave 😂

Everyone in this scene died because gus listened to gale.

So Wags used to do this before working with Axelrod :)

This is where Daniel Hardman were before he becomes a named partner.

The gale actor was amazing, played his part to perfection 😮

Gale was the best, but Walter wasnt not from this world

Gus: "The man is an unpredictable, narcissistic psychopath who employs completely unreliable people."
Gale: "Oh! My apologies Mr Fring. As a scientist, that's a terrible shame but I understand."

After this, Walt was eventually caught, Jessie overdosed, Skylar continued her affair and Gus went on with his life, killed the Salamancas and Eladio and went on cooking meth, happily ever after.

Damn, he sealed his own fate.

Gale not shutting the fuck up would save dozens of lives. That speech really struck a perfectionism nerve in Gus

I can never ever watch any BB or BCS scene in the lab ever again and not think about Lalo and Howard.

Patrick Fabian and Tony Dalton really killed it in this scene

now i am become death. destroyer of worlds.

‘If he’s not, I don’t know what that makes me’ - one of the best acted lines in the show. You can really tell how much chemistry means to Gale.

Imagine if Gus had just stayed with Gale and 96%
How many people wouldn't have died

I see a lot of comments about how Gus should have stuck to his instinct and not hired Walt which we all know to be true through hindsight, but Better Call Saul provided some extra context as to why Gus compromised and decided to essentially acquire Walt's product. During this scene, I'm convinced Gus was planning to kill Walt. We know from BCS what incredible effort it took to get that lab built and how much bad blood Gus had with the Salamancas. He was poised to dominate the meth market with a product far superior than the rest, and then all of a sudden Heisenberg's product shows up out of nowhere and is being distributed in mass by his sworn enemies. Gale was right about it being tough competition, so when Gus was saying 3% is a negligible difference, he was actually saying Walt and his product needed to disappear. No way was he going to fight for territory with another high quality product. Gale convinces Gus in this scene that 3% a massive difference so he amends his plan to let Gale learn Walt's secret and then kill Walt because he always be a liability but we know how well that went.
