He does all this to get the Salamanca cousins to believe that Nacho still works for them when he's really now a double agent for Gus. And by Gus' smirk at the end of his phone discussion with Juan, it seems his plan is working out even better than he could have hoped for.
So while he could be protecting Gale, it's more likely that Gus is purposefully not going to find a skilled meth cook to further mess with the cartel. While Gus had revealed some information about his relationship to Gale on Breaking Bad , this Better Call Saul scene allows viewers to see it firsthand. Gale was a recipient of a chemistry scholarship that Gus had established in honor of his beloved friend Max Arciniega. This same episode also revealed that Hector Salamanca murdered Max and it explained Gus' vendetta against Hector and the cartel.
Fring" for his education. Gale Boetticher is a chemist hired by drug kingpin Gus Fring to make superior quality crystal meth. But then Walter White comes along with a better product. But we did the full video because, why not? Because we love our audience and they deserve this little treat. You want me to sing? It would be terribly humiliating. Costabile: When they put the fanny pack on, I was like, right, now I know.
Now I know all of it. You saw the fanny pack in the store, you bought the fanny pack, you wore the fanny pack. You believe in the fanny pack. So, on some level, do you need more than that?
You just gave me the whole thing. And then wild horses and all this stuff. Diane and her crew put together that background video. Costabile: It was ultimately incredible to be invited back just to do it one last time, and to find that guy, because I loved that character so much. His Lab Notes book can be seen on the table to his right. Gale is found dead by Victor while a group of Gale's neighbors are surveying the crime scene from the hallway.
Victor enters the apartment, causing the neighbors to become suspicious. He then escorts Gale's killer, Jesse, to the lab. It is confirmed that Gale was indeed killed by a gunshot wound to the face, just below his eye and to the left of his nose " Box Cutter ". Gus kills Victor for bringing suspicion upon himself at Gale's apartment, slicing his throat open with a box cutter in front of Jesse, Walt and Mike.
When Victor's body is dissolved in hydrofluoric acid by Mike, Walt and Jesse, they also destroy the gun used in Gale's murder. Gale's Lab Notes are shown close to his body, on a table, during the crime scene investigation, at the end of the episode.
While investigating Gale's murder, the police discover Gale's notebook that provides intimate details on the superlab and Walter's meth formula. Later, an Albuquerque police detective named Tim Roberts gives Hank Schrader copies of the evidence taken from Gale's apartment so that he can provide some input, considering his previous work history regarding the blue meth " Open House ". After reviewing it, Hank then shows Walt and Walt Jr.
Walter is shocked to learn that Hank is investigating Gale's murder, Hank believing that Gale was the elusive Heisenberg and expressing regret that he was not able to arrest him. Walt assures him that Gale was just a novice, opposed to the idea of somebody other than him taking credit for his work. When asked by Hank to read about a chemical process written in Gale's lab notes, Walt notices a Walt Whitman poem and a dedication: "To W. My Star, My Perfect Silence.
The phrase "To W. When Hank chuckles at the initials matching Walt's, Walt jokingly admits "you got me" before explaining to Hank that "W.
When Walt asks Hank about the investigation, he learns that the only leads are some fingerprints and an eyewitness spotted at the scene. Hearing about this evidence, Walt is spooked and worries that the police will connect Jesse to the murder. Hank decides to close his Heisenberg investigation, content that Gale was the man he was looking for until Walt points out that he might be wrong and the real Heisenberg could still be at large, unwilling to let Gale have credit for Walt's work.
Hank's investigation into Gale's murder starts pointing him towards Gus after he discovers a Los Pollos Hermanos napkin in Gale's apartment, " Shotgun " a place Gale would never eat at as he was a vegetarian. Hank determines that the numbers scribbled on the napkin were part numbers for an industrial-strength air filtration system that Gale took delivery on, a system that is perfect for "the biggest meth lab north of the border" whose manufacturer was Madrigal Electromotive.
As a result, Hank comes to the correct conclusion that Gale was Heisenberg's former cook and that it all connects to Gus, having also identified Gus' fingerprints as having been in Gale's apartment. As a result, focuses his attention on Gus as a potential major drug distributor. Throughout the season, Jesse is continually racked with guilt for murdering Gale. As he plays the incredibly violent first-person shooter video game "Rage," he is disturbed by brief, recurring glimpses of him shooting Gale as he shoots the mutants in the game " Problem Dog ".
He presses the restart button on the game, further tormenting himself. Later, in his NA meeting, Jesse euphemizes Gale's killing as taking care of a problem dog - not one who bit anybody, not one who's sick, just one whose existence was a problem - and lashing out at the group leader and the universe for refusing to pass judgement on him. Jesse says, "The thing is, you just do stuff and nothing happens - what's it all mean, what's the point?
No matter how many dogs I kill, I just do an inventory and I accept? During a lunch by the pool at the White Residence , Hank leaves to use the bathroom.
Rummaging for reading material, he finds Walter's copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass under some magazines in the bathroom, the same copy given to Walter by Gale Boetticher. As he thumbs through the pages of the book, Hank finds a handwritten dedication: "To my other favorite W. Fondly, G. Hank takes the book home with him and compares the handwriting from the dedication to Gale's handwriting in his lab notes and confirms that W.
Later, while checking old evidence boxes, Hank comes across some pictures of Gale, including some of his corpse " Blood Money ". Gale's murder is part of the confession tape Jesse makes for Hank and Steven Gomez though he is not mentioned by name in their discussion of the tape.
Gale was an extremely intelligent libertarian with an open-minded attitude about drugs: since somebody was going to cook meth anyway, it might as well be him because the quality would be better and the product relatively safer than any alternatives available locally in New Mexico. Ron Paul campaign stickers can be seen on the rear bumper of his Subaru and in his lab notebook, confirming his libertarian political views.
