Hank Schrader Meets Tortuga | Negro y Azul | Breaking Bad

As Jesse’s reputation as a ruthless drug lord leads Walt to push to expand their operation, Hank’s initial foray into the high-stakes world of the DEA’s El Paso office leaves him badly shaken.

Season Two - Episode Seven: "Negro y Azul"

Episode Description:
When Walt and Jesse decided to expand into new territory, Jesse's recent behavior causes suspicion and puts the operation at risk. In order to get her mind off things and find her own identity, Schuyler looks for new career options which lead her to a familiar face. Meanwhile, Hank is finding it hard to find footing with his new colleagues and things heat up between Jesse and his new landlord Jane.

Episode Overview:
Tracking Jesse down at the duplex he’s renting, Walt finds he is in no mood to do anything but hide out and get high following his involvement in the murder of the drug addict who stole from him and his crew. While Walt is inclined to work on his own for now, he reconsiders after Badger, Skinny Pete and Combo reveal that Spooge’s death has made Jesse a folk hero in the narco-underworld. Meanwhile, Hank’s transfer to the high-stakes world of the DEA office in El Paso threatens to expose his shortcomings as it intensifies his anxieties about the job. And as Skyler’s worries about money grow, she is hired to work for Ted Beneke, who she once threatened to sue for sexual harassment.

Though he’s reluctant to take on any rival dealers, news of his reputation as a take-no-prisoners drug lord leads Jesse to sign on to a plan to corner Albuquerque’s crystal meth market. As his health worsens, Walt learns of Skyler’s going back to work even as she is getting close to having their baby. Meanwhile, Hank’s world is turned upside down when a DEA raid turns into a deadly ambush that claims the lives of an informant and several agents.

On her first day back on the job, Skyler is troubled to learn that Ted, the executive whose groping led her to quit several years ago, has recently separated from his wife. Emboldened by his tough guy reputation, Jesse meets with Skinny Pete, Badger and Combo to lay out his plans for expanding their army of dealers. Finally, after Walt warns him that they are going to have to set their sights for the expanded operation even higher, Jesse lands in a sexual relationship with his landlord, Jane.

I love that they didn't have subtitles for the Spanish scenes during this part of the show, makes me identify with Hank perfectly

[MrBenny]

He should have said "I take my time, but I always come out a head"

[Shaggyshadric]

Hank better watch that explosive temper, it could rub off on someone... good thing Tortuga knows how to keep his head.

[thesuperstar]

Hank was not only the rudest towards Tortuga, but also the one who showed the most concern when Tortuga died.

[ilyaleadblade]

when he says "I take my time and I always win" deep inside we all know where this all is heading to

[Tyler-cmvk]

I love how the writers did with this plot line. They really made Texas, the location, some sort of villain. They first make you uncomfortable with Hank’s charms not working and all of his colleagues speaking Spanish. Then they show Tortuga’s death that even Hank couldn’t stomach watching while all of his colleagues are watching like it’s Tuesday. Lastly, Tortuga’s head explodes and scares even Hank’s colleagues. Before this scene, Hank seemed like the best DEA agent who is fearless, smart, charismatic and almost flawless. It really reveals how dangerous Texas is.

[Idk-dchv]

The scene with his head on the tortoise was mind blowing. It was truly aHEAD of its time.

[megantrainorvevo]

I remember being about around 10-12 years old, being raised pretty sheltered from this content. Then once I decided to sneak and watch late night tv. The first thing I witnessed was this man's head on a turtle. I didn't sneak for awhile after.

[tommyt]

It’s very odd this character was killed off so quickly. He had so much potential to be an added addition to the main characters

[shinyagumon]

I love how you can tell what kind of person Tortuga is from the few scenes he's in.

He talks big and prances about with the DEA, pretending to be smart and sophisticated.

But then he buys gaudy junk from a catalogue and you realise that he's just some low life crook who can only make it big by ratting out as an informant.

[ChristopherTradeshow]

Danny Trejo insisted they decapitate him and use his actual head for the turtle scene

[DarkOmegaMK]

Tortuga is such a nice character, i bet he'll go ahead in life, riding on success.

[mogheen]

Danny Tejo will never be out of work in Hollywood, there’s always a role for him

[gamerknowledge]

"White boys gonna kick yo ass if you don't stop wasting his time" we miss you hank....

[Doctor]

"What man goes to the DEA? No man, Hector."

[danzam]

I remember when I first saw the episode and thought Danny Trejo would be a great fit for the show and thought he’d last at least 2 seasons. Then he got his head chopped off in the same episode and was like oh, never mind 🤣

[rong]

Juan Bolsa really liked the way words flow like a waterfall from Tortuga's mouth. He also liked the way the twins made his head fall from his body.

[SBGames]

"Im gonna put them all over my casa" The delivery on this line was the best

[RSTEM]

His face and tone when he says "ehh you give me 10" is hilarious 😂
