Jesse Goes Full Badass in the Cartel's Superlab | Breaking Bad (Aaron Paul)

[@gangstapenguin2773]

By knowing the formula, Jesse outranked everyone in that room. And he knew it

[@LucianDevine]

And with just a tiny bit of translation help from Gus, and being able to read the body language of the people around him, he was able to take charge.

[@jeanlouis6782]

True, but he is dealing with the cartel here. In a real situation, nothing would stopped them from just torturing him until he gives them the formula. Luckily, it is a show, and Jesse had a strong plot armour ;)

[@LucianDevine]

@@jeanlouis6782 True, but there's no reason to torture somebody if they will willingly give it to you. He belongs to the Cartel either way. So they will only torture him for it if he tries to escape or refuses to cook. Otherwise he'd likely live a fairly comfy life, or at least as comfy as one could expect.

[@sayingnigromakesyoutubecry2647]

Gus needs good people to work for him. Gus trusted Jesse. He usually doesn't do business with junkies but he saw why Walter white worked with him. Right there, he is seeing he is worth gold so he is protecting him.

[@jeanlouis6782]

@@LucianDevine That is true, definitely more comfy than with Jack's gang haha

This whole scene wouldn’t have made much sense if the episode “Fly” didn’t exist

[@WodernWarfareTree]

And the fly wouldn’t exist without Howard and Lalo

[@ryanwhitaker1773]

Well the whole scene doesn’t make sense from a science perspective. Clearly the Mexican chemist knows how to make meth. A simple phone call or email and he could have learned which specific part or parts of the process Walt was doing that is different from the cartels process of making meth !

[@zohzi3291]

@@ryanwhitaker1773that’s the whole point, he was doing it in a way that NOBODY ELSE COULD, even Jesse only copying it after seeing it over and over, only got 96%

[@zohzi3291]

Simply the fact that Jesse even knows the steps puts him LEAGUES beyond the “scientist” even Gus smiles a bit, that’s the point of this whole scene, I feel bad for anyone watching the show with you if you miss important parts as vital as that

[@mcgrath11]

Jesse's "Say my name" moment

[@Stormertheboy]

Imagine if Jesse tried talking this way to Tuco 😂😂

[@Gyrodelo]

He knows Gus has his back. He knows he ain't just a little punk like he was with Tuco. The cleaning part was just a power move from his part to start showing how his method is already better from the other chemist's, even without cooking. That's why we focus a brief moment on Mike and Gus while Jesse speaks. It shows us they back him on this situation as they know, he's exactly who they need for the job.

[@LucianDevine]

@@Gyrodelo A power move, but also a necessary power move. Note one thing though, note who he said would be cleaning. Jesse didn't say "you". He said "we". So he's going to help scour and clean to get their lab fit for his cook.

[@eraser0artem]

i like how Gus smiles when Jessie mention the dirty work place

[@blazypika2]

this lab was definitely not up to los pollos' standards.

[@user-rr3sq8mh8x]

This also was power move, he leveled all crew as a professionals who must schooled semiprofessionals. They have formula and most important know how used, like : better don’t full next time with this ignorant attitude like your guy before.

[@DerelictCountry]

@@user-rr3sq8mh8x good job sucking all the humor out of this comment. Nice work!

[@ED-209UHD]

He should have got the cleaners in! 😂

[@Dave12756]

3:15 the way he says “fired your ass” has always stuck with me for some reason

[@CosmicWaltz7]

It's an odd one for me. I don't figure "cartel meth chemist" is a job you're fired from. That's a job where, if the position is suddenly open, you're not finding the last guy that held that title again. Not in one piece, anyway.

[@DaScorpionSting]

If Don Eladio was there, he would've been proud and smiling at Jesse.

[@acesworld320]

[@jayhandave]

If the chemist can speak english, why did he wait for Gus to say something in spanish then reply

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

Because he knows that he's the guy his boss brought in to tell him how to do his job and he resents him, a lowly junkie, for being in a higher position than him.

[@a3gp0p]

Mockery or just play of power. He was just showing indifference to the fact that Jesse was there

"Any idiot can synthesize phenylacetic acid!" "Okay so how long will it take?" "I have no idea."

[@sniper_in_bush]

because they had to get the barrels

[@donclarence3644]

He said it would take several hours to get the barrels, not synthesize it

[@IDHLEB]

​@@donclarence3644they weren't prepared either way

[@Absynthexx1]

Making phenylacetic acid and making it with high purity are two very different things. Jesse was right to use the pre-manufactured chemical. Garbage in, garbage out.

[@davidci]

2:05 Why did you upload this part with the wrong dub?

[@lucifervex]

dont you have..... STANDARDS ?!?!??!?! UGH !!!

[@DrSabot-A]

NOW GET ME PHENYLACETIC ACID! RNGGGH!!

[@LucianDevine]

@@lucifervex That face is priceless, especially because we know just how right he is. All of Jesse's knowledge is only so useful if the lab isn't clean enough to make use of it.

[@SSJvegito501]

I believe this is another reason Gus saw Victor as a liability. He was just mimicking the formula so if Gus had brought Victor to do their plan, Gus would have failed right here because Victor wouldn't have known what to do in this lab. Jesse(and especially Walter) knew the formula well.

[@Sparlis]

Exactly. Victor was satisfied with merely copying Walt’s formula like it was a culinary recipe. Jesse on the other hand took the time to learn the chemistry behind it, making him a much better cook.

[@Randarrradara]

Most importantly, victor was seen at the crime scene

[@AFK_SLAYER]

Victor was spotted at the crime scene, and there was a close sketch of him at the DEA office. He also tried to cook without Gus's permission.

[@randomphrases4uen]

Sure does run his mouth a lot for a guy with a degree who makes garbage

[@vgcf86]

I can't believe Jesse called him a female dog. Very bold of him!

[@actron400]

they call it a rookie but the place was truly dirty for a quality job

[@elmoblatch9787]

What is Better Call Saul ?

[@Geojr815]

I know Gus is very fluent in both languages but how can anyone who’s not a scientist know the translation for “phenylacetic acid”?

[@geofreyr]

firstly into spanish it's not translated, it's just "phenylacetico", secondly Gus runs the whole operation so would likely know about it.

[@UnlikelyReply]

I like the part where they talk about things

[@Shorty15c4007]

De right way

[@Hyunny...]

I have to admit. The British accent from the lead chemist who is supposed to be Mexican was quite jarring

Lesser-known fact: Gus have poisoned Cartel with Jessie's Blowfish Venom.

[@YaNoAwantoMas]

I love this show... but all the native Spanish speakers have to dumb their Spanish down 5 levels so that Gus doesn't sound like an idiot.

[@tkondja]

Jesse “Heisenberg” Pinkman 😂😂

[@carlosmarquez2725]

Why do their voices sound so weird and low? Where's the grunting and yelling? Imma go back to Twitter, they have the original audio.

[@edwardcatt2399]

This lab may be up to Juárez standards but is it up to _Pollos_ standards?? 🤔

[@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime]

I just noticed something. When Jesse meets Don Eladio, Eladio says “hola joven,” and Jesse doesn’t understand. But, in this scene, Eladio’s man says “a trabajar,” and Jesse understands and immediately goes to work. Hmmm.🧐

[@gurk_the_magnificent9008]

Lots of people who aren’t fluent in Spanish understand a word here or there, especially if it’s a common word like trabaja and - like Jesse - you’ve grown up in New Mexico.
