Watch the entire series!

From Season 4, Episode 07: "Problem Dog"

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.

You gotta admit, this is where Hank shines. His character development took him from just a headstrong agent to an observant and detailed detective.

[theprofessional]

Hank didn’t discover anything he was trying to get rid of his competition in the meth business . When it failed he forced Walt to make a bomb and hit the nursing home .

[aaa-vyqo]

I imagined the corporate lawyer was Saul doing a bad German accent.

[Kwaj]

Little did Gus know that the extra 3% purity wouldn't be worth the headache.

[JohnDoe-tmvj]

I like how they did this. You would think that in the process of Hank laying out all his clues and info he would be in a hurry to cut right to the chase about Gus’s fingerprints being at the crime scene as it’s his only real piece of physical evidence. But instead he knows that accusing Gus with a charge of this magnitude is a huge stretch to his partner’s and superior’s judgment. So he ends the procession with the suggestion of Gus’s involvement to allow that thought to settle in their minds and so that they can get their immediate rebuffs out of the way, then he hits them with the key evidence which is now much more likely to convince. Perfect example of burying the lede.

[McLovin]

Hank was 100% right the entire time and no one believed him

[DaScorpionSting]

In an alternate timeline, Walt meets Colonel Sanders himself at a KFC who runs a meth operation.

[kevinkibble]

"Maybe Gus Fring is the real Breaking Bad" I stood up and applauded when Hank said this.

[fascinatedhomie]

Hank connecting dots like a genius is the reason why walt was such a sussy baka

[bricklayerpayne]

Five minutes of just pure expositional dialogue and it's all brilliant and captivating. What a show.

[dairebeare]

Hank went back for one more thing like columbo at the end

[Dio_Corleone]

The fact that the case would've went cold if Walt could've jus kept his goddamned ego in check at family dinner with his in-laws🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Chinchilla]

Lol Gus could’ve avoided Hank getting suspicious if he had some vegan options or salads on the menu.

[jessetorres]

It's fun rewatching both Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul, but trying to see the series through the point of view of Gus or Hank. Gus spent decades building up the perfect meth empire that was ruined in a little over a year by Walt who got him killed, & Hank worked his way up the DEA trying to bring down a meth empire that ended up being ran by his brother in law Walt who also got him killed.

[megasean]

Hank has the same genius as Walter when it comes to drug enforcement as he does chemistry. They’d have been unstoppable if they worked together.

[zaxbitterzen]

This is possibly my favorite strip of dialogue in the entire series. Seeing Hank in his element has always been great.

[BandiGetOffTheRoof]

4:03 Yeah, but KFC isn't affiliated with the German company who produced equipment that could be used in making meth.

[Brieg_Skald]

Hank was pretty damn close from solving this case, actually. I mean, it may lacks some elements but this was a solid package of clues.

[jnkization]

Interesting cutting fail at 1:45 - in one instant Steven Gomez smiles about Hank's joke - then the perspective changes and he is suddenly dead serious.

[GeddyRC]

Hank did this perfectly. Laid out all the groundwork but left out the key detail. Let them put it together in their heads, get them on his side, and only once they start to doubt themselves, drop the finger print clue.
