Lucky Hank, starring Bob Odenkirk, premieres March 19 on AMC.
Season Four - Episode Ten: "Salud"
Episode Overview:
Following his brutal fight with Walt, Jesse nervously joins Gus and Mike in Mexico to teach the cartel how to make Walt’s blue meth. Upon their arrival, however, it’s clear to Jesse that the cartel’s chief chemist is upset at having someone so young and without any formal scientific training overseeing his work. So, realizing that his survival depends on getting the upper hand, Jesse makes it clear that things will be done his way or not at all. Back in Albuquerque, Walt is nowhere to be found, so Skyler has no choice but to go ahead and give a clearly underwhelmed Walt, Jr. the used car they bought him for his birthday. And with funds provided by Skyler, lawyer Saul Goodman convinces Ted Beneke that a distant relative died and left him enough money to pay his back taxes.
Though Skyler, Marie and Hank are all at the birthday party, Walt’s absence is conspicuous. So, after excusing himself to go out with friends, Walt, Jr. heads to his dad’s condo instead. When his son finds him bloodied from his run-in with Jesse, Walt claims to have been in fight while gambling. Meanwhile, Jesse is stunned to discover that Gus has cut a deal that makes him the Mexican cartel’s property.
Upon learning that he used some of her money to lease a luxury car, Skyler drops in on Ted to remind him of his debt to the IRS. But when Ted insists on using the cash to restart his business instead, Skyler blurts out the truth about where it came from and insists that he settle his debt with the government. Finally, to celebrate the deal that will keep Jesse in Mexico indefinitely, Gus gives Don Eladio a bottle of very rare tequila. However, after taking precautions to protect himself, Gus watches the cartel boss and his henchmen fall victim to the deadly poison he placed inside the bottle, but not before Mike is shot in the ensuing battle. Leaving the bodies of Don Eladio and his men scattered around their lavish hacienda, Jesse rushes a very sick Gus and the gravely wounded Mike to safety.

Any sophomore in Chemistry can make it sure, but industrially? The specific quantity needed? They were willing to let a revolutionary product slip from their fingers with their own ego.

[@KaiserAfini]

The head chemist's priorities were eschewed. He spent time synthesizing a basic component, which decreased costs by some amount, but increased time between batches. On the other hand, he didn't take the time to clean his lab, which lead to contamination and lower grade products, leading to a lower possible sales price and less profit. So his process delivered less quality and less rentability, and he was proud of these lower standards. In Gus's eyes, he was neither a businessman or a true professional, which is why he was proud of Jesse for calling him out.

[@whompronnie]

@@KaiserAfini Absolutely. Synthesizing their own legal chemicals is a huge waste of time. A specialized lab is going to produce it much more efficiently and probably more purely than they can, so the cost savings can't possibly be enough to justify not buying it outright short of some sort of price gouging or unwanted government attention, neither of which had been a problem before that moment.

The Chemist and his team were scared to death because they knew Gus was a dangerous man, they couldn’t say “no” to Gus or to the other cartel guy.

Except Jessie really learned that from Walt, not really Gus. That was a direct parallel, it was about working in a lab to make meth. In the episode fly Jessie even pointed out to Walt that people are aware food products are accepted as having small amounts of gross contaminations. But people don't care because if they're small enough people won't even know it, and it's out of sight out of mind. And it comes down to how much people like the food (he says he loves hot dogs).

[@SuperJutah]

This also indirectly justifies Gus killing Victor without directly saying it.... Gus was telling Jesse on the way "I believe in you " and placed his faith AND his life of a Junkie he tried to kill a few months earlier.... Victor didn't receive any mentorship and even if he copied Walt's cook step by step things like synthesing his own phenthastic acid AND the condition of their lab matters to the degrees.... Jesse cooked 96.2% which is 0.2% higher than Gale's guarantee with a unfamiliar environment.... If Victor cooked, the Cartel's cook would've alpha'd him, rattled him, he would've made mistakes not clean up the place and even then when they saw his cook.... It would've been so unpure, Victor Gus and Mike would've been killed instantly and buried in the desert
