Watch the entire series!

From Season 3, Episode 13: "Full Measure"

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.

Gus asked if Walt was out of his fucking mind in the politest way possible lol

[seanjosephhayes]

Love how Mike tells Walt he’s gonna want to get his car fixed. Essentially indirectly telling him Gus isn’t going to have him killed here.

[igameasapx]

Mike is a kind man. Telling walt to spread his arms out so that he can give walt a hug

[qaisalbalushi]

Walter: I prefer option B
Gus: I prefer option A
Walter: *SHIT*

[valenciasainz]

Mike: *Never take a half measure.*
Heisenberg: **Kills Mike**

And Walter happily cooked with his new assistant and made enough money to support his family and until he inevitably passed from his cancer the end.

[everdash]

The way he said, "I would never ask that of you, " to actually mean, "I know you would, so there's no point in me even asking that question to begin with, " is brilliant.

This is the part where Walter T-poses in the middle of the desert.

[orionthefoolish]

This whole series is the poisonous effect of ego. “If A just let B go, C would never have happened.”

[andrewcutler]

Gus: “Are you asking me if I ordered the murder of a child?”

Gus a few weeks later: “I will kill your baby daughter!”

[WaylonTF]

All Gus had to do was accept the death of 2 nameless, worthless goons. He still had his premier chef with him, Walter is worth a hundred nameless dealers. But Gus just couldn't let that go and it's so infuriating.

[TheStraightestWhitest]

Gus' greatest mistake was making The Danger feel in danger.

[jsembler]

This is probably one of Walt's coolest moments. Going toe to toe with Fring without flinching and stating his case clearly, concisely, and without waver. Excellent scene.

[caseyguilfoyle]

“I would never ask you that.” Because he knows that he’d do it in a heartbeat.

[CRIPPLETHYBONES]

"I would never ask you that" - The way Walter says it... It's almost like "yeah, that's exactly what I'm suggesting". Great acting here. It's impossible to know what Walt is thinking throughout the show, same goes for Gus. I would love to see both of them share a project in the near future!

[Enjoyerofenjoyment]

When Mike said ''I need my beauty sleep, and you ruined it Waltuh'' I freakin started crying. Now Mike has to walk around with eyebags.

[jomojojo]

For me, this is the moment that started everybody's downfall. If Gus had accepted it and told Walter that he understood why he did what he did and they should put it past them and move on, I think things would have been okay. But, Gus took it up another notch and showed Walter that he was in danger.

[Elitecataphract]

Gus was already presenting option 3. Train a more reliable replacement for Walt.

[ryancole]

After watching BCS, this scene is a much bigger deal than it seems at first. It’s amazing how significant Walter made himself to be, because Gus didn’t met with these kinds of people who worked for him usually. He’d just have Mike or someone else go as his mouthpiece. But Walter constantly demanded - through actions or otherwise - much of Gus’s attention face to face.

[legobasebro]

You can kind of tell at 4:21 that Mike actually agrees with Walt's point and thinks this is a pretty reasonable deal. He obviously doesn't hate Walt quite yet, given his relative patience during the whole conversation. From what we know about him, it's most likely he just wants to reach the most peaceful resolution at this point.
