Gus didn’t kill Victor randomly… It was because he got himself seen by a lot of people at Gail’s murder scene, and THEN cooked without Gus’s authority. That’s back to back screw ups. He had to make an example of someone in that room of people that just pissed him off and Victor was the most expendable.

[slabpanda]

I always figured it was because he wanted Hank to take out the twins without his own fingerprints being directly on it. Make it look like a hit gone wrong and if they all killed each other, that much the better.

Gus knew Hank and Walt were related since season 2. When Gus visits the DEA office, he sees Hank's donation jar for Walt.

Gus should’ve gotten his own show like better call Saul

I thought Gus warned Hank because the mere attempt on his life by the Salamancas would bring the DEA down on the cartel in Mexico, thus serving Gus' plan. And as shown in a subsequent episode, that is exactly what happened.

309 revealed this plot point.

- Protect Walt
- Public shootout turning US and Mexico against cartel
- Cut off cartel supply to Southwest

“The rewards would be enormous”

Walt explains this within a few episodes. Gus didn't want it to be a silent execution. He wanted Hank to know so it would start a shootout for everyone to see, thus ensuring the twins, and more specifically, the cartel, found out.
This would cause the DEA to down hard on the cartel as going after a DEA agent is a surefire way to get them to your front door.
I actually think Gus respected Walt at this point in the story. Walt only becomes a problem in the later half of the season.

Gus has a vendetta against all salamancas. He simply came up with a plan to kill all of them and this was one of its facets.

[BuddhaAtheist]

He was trying to get the twins killed. He didn't know Hank didn't have his gun.

[wyomingptt]

I get that overly analyzing Breaking Bad is a kind of a meme, but i mean it's pretty obvious he wanted them to kill each other, or at least for Hank to take out the Salamancas. If he didn't warn Hank, the twins would have killed him quietly and left.

[random-nzdy]

Gus didn't know telepathically about the car bomb.

Not long after threatening the life of the family of his fired meth cook, a child close to the backup meth cook has been poisoned, mysteriously.

Gus knows it wasn't him. So either it's a completely random child poisoning, or something else is up.

Gus then realized that Jesse's distraught over this caused him to go visit Jesse in the hospital which made him leave his car unattended.

It just seemed off to Gus. Actually one could see how somebody in Gus's position would be very acutely aware of situations like this.

The only reason he didn't see the danger coming with Hector is because he was blinded by his rage for revenge (And he was still cautious there, he just didn't calculate Hector killing himself to take out Gus)

[butteredsalmonella]

Walter was only deemed problematic when he killed the drug dealers who killed Andrea's younger brother to protect Jesse from being hurt. They maintained a good relationship throughout Season 3 overall.

Gus didn't really deem Hank problematic until Season 4 when he started investigating Gale's murder, Gale was a vegan who had a handkerchief that belonged and lead him to Los Pollos Hermanos.

Gus's main priority in using Hank was to get rid of the problematic twins and have the DEA divert attention to the cartel rather than his business, resulting in Bolsa also getting killed. Killing three birds with one phone call.

[topamonguspro]

why does this channel feel like someone telling chat gpt to write scripts about specific topics?

[kreture]

4:52 killing two birds with one stone…

THEY‘RE MINERALS MARIE!!!

[holierthanu]

Honestly, when you remember Gus' vendetta against the cartel it is pretty clear why he warned Hank: it removed one of the last wild-card factors that could interrupt his plans. Sure, the cartel started messing with his trucks and forced him into a meeting, but it was very clear Gus was prepared for that to swing it as his trump card play. With Lalo, Tuco, and now the Twins removed from the equation, Gus had no serious threats that would be able to interrupt his plans or out his impending treachery.

[kutulu]

Nothing better than someone making a video to "explain" something that is explicitly explained later in the show.

[exptodd]

Walter explained in the same episode that Gus warned Hank because he wanted a shootout not an assassination

[planobest]

Gus knew where the twins were and their rate of travel. Gus knew where hank was and his rate of travel. Gus knew hanks phone number, Gus knew how to make an untraceable phone call. Gus knew Hank had a fighting chance. Which means he knew the twins execution strategy and weaponry. Did Gus have the twins bullet proof jackets gps tracked?

[brandonfiend]

I love that Hank is set to die at 3:08, and Walt's address is 308.

[megatronskneecap]

Gus was the best character of all time on daytime TV. Giancarlo did an amazing job at playing a vigilante psychopath that will stop at nothing to be independent and grow a multi billion dollar empire.
