How Did Gus Fring Know About The Car Bomb? - Breaking Bad

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you met yourself from the past? In this video, I explore the intriguing relationship between Walter White and Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad, who are two sides of the same coin. Despite their similarities, their difference in experience creates a rift between them. I delve into Gus's mysterious past and how his experience in the criminal world has shaped him into a highly intuitive and careful individual. On the other hand, I examine how Walt's past experiences have made him a competent yet insecure individual with something to prove. By understanding their past and present, we can understand the dynamics between these two rivals and fellow criminals. Join me as I explore how these dynamics play out in one of the most intriguing back-and-forths in recent cinema.

Gustavo Fring didn't know there was a bomb. He just realized his vehicle's car insurance had expired and as an upstanding citizen didn't want to break the law. Shows you how good of a man he is!

Kind of ironic that despite being a very calculative person and being calm under pressure, the very thing that lured Gus to his demise was his deep seated hatred towards Hector. Only realizing that Walt's extent had gotten that far.

[Mike]

He knew Walt was after him, and he understood that he had been manipulated into showing up at the hospital. It was a forced move that had been engineered by an outside actor. He had his security guys with him, but when he got to the car, he realized that it been left unattended for a period of time. It represented a hole in his security system, and he decided better safe than sorry.

If he wasn’t blinded by his hatred for Hector, he might have sensed the bomb in the nursing home also. To be fair, he did have tyrus check the room

[eltedioso]

I think it's pretty simple. HE knew that he hadn't poisoned Brock (we as the audience didn't yet know that), but someone had, and he could tell that Jesse was convinced that Gus did it. In other words, he suddenly realized he was being set up and knew not to walk into any traps.

[jeffrowisdabest]

It's simple. He knew Brock had been poisoned by somebody, probably Walt, who was out to kill him. He knew Walt knew he'd go to the hospital to visit Jesse. So he stayed a step ahead of him and didn't get in the car.

[karlmeaner]

He didn't know about the bomb and didn't need to. He did know that he was now following a routine that he had not planned of. If Jesse hadn't requested to talk with him, there was no reason that he would go to the hospital. After hearing that someone had poisoned Brock from Jesse, this deviation from his controlled routine and this information about what happened to the child in addition to knowing full well that he nor his men had nothing to do with it, was enough for him to know that someone was setting him up for something. He didn't know there was a bomb in the car and he didn't know who was trying to set him up but those details were irrelevant. What was relevant and what he did know that if he continued to follow the routine he was currently on, that something would happen to him, even if he didn't know what it was. This was enough for him to change his plan, find a different method of transportation and go to a completely different location that he would have thought up on the fly.

He didn't have all the pieces to know what was going on but he had enough pieces to trigger his paranoid intuition to take a defensive course of action.

[BezoRazo]

For someone who has such a strong sense of danger and self-preservation, he sure made himself a tempting target to any nearby sniper by standing stock still and gazing outward for a while at the unobstructed edge of a parking structure, like someone delivering a speech on a balcony.

[DelliverZero]

I think to add to your point, Hank with the help of Walt planted a tracking device and unconsciously gave Walt the idea of planting a bomb which Gus knew this could happen again as he gets more exposed he became more cautious. and as Gus have advised Walt previously never make the same mistake twice.

[samuelwallace]

He didn't know about the bombs. But he knew that he had been drawn into the open and that his car, having been static and unguarded, was a perfect place for a trap.

[RandyMarsh]

I'm surprised Hank has not questioned why Gus needed body guards.

[FrankLeeYoung]

Gus became very hyper aware of his surroundings and situations thanks to Lalo. He was still a very careful man even before that.

[Hilderspilder]

Gus had men inside walts house in that episode. The bomb making materials were still out in the kitchen. They likely informed him that he had made a bomb

[Redmium]

Also Walt had his glasses on top of his head, and it was sunny out. Its very possible that there was a glint that caught Gus' eye and made him suspicious.

[ElliottsTog]

This video is higher quality than that one expensive wine that's always in stock but no-one ever buys it

[Davekoolskool]

2 biggest plot holes with Gus imo is not having Gale followed for protection until dealing with Walt and how neither Tyrus nor Gus noticed the modified wheelchair on Hector before the boom

[matthewgoodwin]

He didn't know about the Bomb he just felt something wasn't right and he realized he was exposed

[OhOkayThenLazySusan]

I never understood why this was such a divisive moment. It made perfect sense to me upon first watch. Everything that lead up to that moment with Jesse and Brock woulf have made him extra suspicious and cautious. And it seems really obvious to me that he saw the glare from Walts glasses on top of his head. That shot behind Walt with the glasses seemed very intentional. That was enough for me to accept it. But there is even more, just read the comments here covers it pretty well.

All this is to say that it is definitely open to some speculation, but what drives me crazy are the people calling the writers lazy and saying it was nothing more than a plot device. Thats silly. They writers clearly thought about this and went out of their way to not spell it out to add to the air of mystery about Gus.

You can pretty much assume that anyone who has survived in this line of business for decades is someone with very uncanny intuition.
