Breaking Bad | Tortuga's Death (Danny Trejo)

After discovering that Tortuga (Danny Trejo) is secretly a DEA informant, Juan Bolsa (Javier Grajeda) decides to surprise him with a gift... oh what a surprise it was.

Watch the entire series!

From Season 3, Episode 3 "I.F.T."

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.

I read somewhere that Danny Trejo only agrees to play criminal characters if they end up dying. He doesn't want to glamorize the criminal lifestyle, since he himself spent time in San Quentin.

[FischerFilmStudio]

The fact that his boss leaves his hat on the bar to make Tortuga think they will be going back to the bar after this is a clever touch.

I never understood how they managed to make Danny Trejo, not the scariest person in the room

[arturoleduc]

There’s no way that killing him with a MACHETE was unintentional from the writers😂

[mariomorgan]

Fun fact: Danny Trejo (the actor for Tortuga) actually volunteered to be decapitated for the plot, Vince liked the idea so much he decided to go through with it. RIP Danny Trejo.

“You have such a way with words. They flow like a waterfall”

Danny should’ve ran right then and there

[glizzygladiator]

Danny had a hint that something wasn’t right with that ‘Back there?’, but the alcohol and needing to play his role walked him right into death.

I like how the actual part of the video that it's named after takes place on a shrunken screen at the very end of the video.

[jordanastro]

I mean the guy got a pretty quick death considering he snitched.

[DevotedDisciple-x]

If you're involved in this lifestyle and the boss comes all the way to you and keeps bringing up how you're such a big talker (while you're cooperating with the DEA) and says he has a present for you in the back of a dingy bar, you shoot or run. Don't follow him.

[bobsnow]

The cartel boss is truly terrifying because of how mild-mannered and outwardly pleasant he is. He doesn't show the slightest hint of anger or malice as he's leading this man straight to his brutal decapitation, he's just very casually having a friendly chit-chat one minute and passively looking on as his goons murder the dude the next. Perfect psychopath portrayal.

[thibautisserant]

Am I the only one who finds adorable how touched he is about having a pet tortoise ?

[Griggs]

I like how you can feel the tension from the bar patrons in this scene. The bartender subtly tries to warn him, the two workers Tortuga was bragging too look on nervously when he's led to the back room, and the other patrons lower their heads while sipping their drinks and try to ignore it.

[zakenmaru]

In hindsight I didn't notice how strange it was that Juan brought Tortuga to another part of the bar when he'd allegedly arrived just then. Chilling now that I rewatch this scene.

[TVFun]

Tortuga obviously was worried something was up. He's nervous at the idea of going into the back room and visibly looks around for assassins as soon as he walks in. Bolsa knows there's nothing he can do about it though, and that's why he takes a little time to mess with him before killing him. Even if Tortuga decided to run, there was nowhere to run to and he wasn't going to win a fight.

[whiterunguard]

Considering how cartels nowadays handle snitches, he got off very easy

[omarescalante]

Juan always seems like the reasonable man of the cartl, but here you see how ruthless he can be behind the facade of civility

[lzk]

Great idea to make the image smaller during the moment people came here for 🤦‍♂

[youngwze]

Trejo's acting is on point....you see the way his expression changed when the boss said "your words flow like a waterfall."...

[rebelmouth]

*The guys back at the bar*

"you know what? Maybe shoveling dirt for the man isn't so bad after 😂
