Well remember gale had Gus over for dinner after bumping into him in pollos Hermanos and offered Gus an investment opportunity which Gus declined and about a week later Gus read about him in the paper.
I actually think he's unreasonable. The implication is basically that you better be ready because Walt's dead and you are on deck, and if you're not prepared, you're dead too.
i love that he tells the truth with gale not knowing that gus wants to kill walter. If gale were to ask walter about his health problems, it wouldn't cause any alarms
@@rhys2040thats the point… he *sounds* reasonable but in reality its a very scary offer. Gale might not fully grasp it, we as the audience know it though. but Gus is able to deliver it in a way that on the surface sounds reasonable and like he is a nice and fair man. Its a testament to the excellent writing and the actor. of course none of this is actually reasonable
@@isaacwesterback4499 It would raise alarms as Walt would wonder why Gus told Gale about his cancer. Walt was already not on great terms with Gus here.
It's very easy to forget in BB and BCS that the characters are working for a drug cartel. Guys like Gale, Max, Pryce, they all seem like such innocent victims sometimes, you feel that there's good cartel guys and bad cartel guys. People like Gus, Hector and Eladio are definitely more evil but the fact is that they all broke the law, they were all willing to do what they did for personal gain, in the expense of other people. Like Mike said, there's honorable thieves and despicable cops, it's not so black and white. But facts are facts.
I don’t think Gale was socially aware what Gus was implying.. This is why Gus was being truthful about Walt’s health issues BUT omitted that the real reason is that he Wanted Walter out of the picture?
@@SuperJutah unless he’s completely naive, I think he probably understood the implications of Gus’ unannounced visit informing him to be ready to take over at moments notice.
@@stellarwind1946 That's what I'm thinking. If he really were gonna die at some point in the unknown future due to cancer, then why get Gale down to 1 cook? Walt's not even on his death bed yet. I think even someone as unaware as Gale would at least be questioning the need for such urgency
I think Walt enjoyed Gale's company a lot more than ANY other person on the show, including Skyler. The problem with Skyler, Jesse, Walt Jr, Hank, Marie etc is that conversationally, they all bored the living hell out of Walter. Only Gale was close to his intellectual level. It's really a shame their partnership broke up so soon. Goddamn Jesse, arrrrgh😢 😡
@@OGVadeNah man, did you watch the show? Walt wasn't threatened by Gale's intelligence, he appreciated the hell out of it. He only brought Jesse back so Jesse wouldn't sue the pants off Hank and destroy his life.
@@womans-r9bMaybe not at Walt's level, in chemistry. But he read a ton of poetry, philosophy, probably literature too. He was the only one Walt could have a stimulating intellectual conversation with. There was nobody else.
@@FedSmoker64 I don't think it did after having watched the show multiple times. What I'm saying is that an intelligent man like Gale should have known what Gus was implying.
@@dolanddrumpf6344 I agree with that. I feel your original comment didn't tell that on the surface. With the addition to your opinion I am on board with you now. Gale was an intelligent man, too intelligent to have been played by gus. It was poor writing on their part, gale should have been portrayed as the true clone of walter given his 'talent' just as a younger man (walt's equil, which I imagine he was in the original draft and cut for time or some such reason), not some flamboyant ditz who is just smart enough to copy a recipe. He was a researcher as interested in the project as anyone could be and had the resources to maximize it's output given his resources. They really did his character dirty. In my opinion there could be a spin off show revolving around gus that rivals 'Better Call Saul' although more technical and for the nerd audience His cartel alliance in BCS was the least interesting part of the show to me. Maintaining is more interesting than rising. "A trigger is easier to pull than a thought to be made"
Always loved the skill level between Walt and Gale. Gale himself is an extremely skilled chemist with his own extensive background, and even he still admits that WW’s skill is far beyond his.
People talk about how Victor barreled his way face-first into a crime scene with half-a-dozen witnesses or how he stepped out of line by trying to cook Walt's formula but how about when he blatantly sticks his nose into Walt and Gale's conversations here, possibly tipping off Walt on what Gus has planned for him. Victor is the worst evil henchman ever!
It's kind of insane how Gus goes through this whole act of sounding empathetic and professional, understanding, and wholly convinces Gale of Walt's health condition and Gus' intention of keeping him as long as possible, and it all immediately washes away with demanding the least amount of further cooks together possible
Before that even. Gale was meant to be the main cook before he himself recommended Walter. Gus already knew that he was taking a risk working with an incautious man, an arrangement that would not last indefinitely but was advantageous in the short term, and Gale would be the backup to take over when necessary.
That’s a good question. I think he liked him a little bit, but mostly he was using him. Gale is such a nice dude, honest and easy to read. I reckon Gus at least enjoyed being able to relax a little bit in his company. Most of gus’ associates were hiding info from him and playing complex games. At least with gale he could chill
Both. Gus’s life goal, which is revenge, greatly supersedes any relationship he has or may form. Doesn’t mean he won’t like or respect some people he meets along the way. I think he liked some qualities in Gale. To him, Gale was probably like a little puppy. I think the show hinted that Gus liked Gale. When Gus grabbed the green box cutter and stared at it contemplatively, I think it was pretty obvious that the box cutter reminded him of Gale, and that made him momentarily upset.
Two definitely different door openings to Gale's apartment. To be honest, Walt is the one who did mess things up and then fixed them and then messed them WAY UP then fixed most of it in a weird halfway measure.
@@saparapatepetethat sounds reasonable but anyone involved in this business would have some kind of awareness regarding how things work. murders, hits; it’s an illegal business you are getting into after all. Wives of mob members like to act oblivious to their husbands’ line of work, but they know. Similar with Gale.
@@saparapatepete Now that I'm watching this scene again, I feel like Gale had a sense that something more is going down. He's not stupid. It doesn't make sense to have to urgently learn the cook in a week because of cancer, you know?
Soooooo ... Any chance Gale was able to read between the lines and guess Gus was basically saying he intended to kill Walt as soon as possible and Gale had to go along with it?
What's crazy is that everyone would have lived their lives fully is there wasn't a psycho maniac cancer patient running out of control ruining everyone's lives and seeming innocent until it's too late.
How nice of Gus asking Gale to take over in case Walt's cancer becomes too much. He always looks out for his employees.

That's how Gus left his DNA on Gales leg. Hank got him there.
Intimidation only works if they're not willing to die.

This is the exact moment gale became geilenberg
This is also almost the moment that Jesse felt the need to kill Gale.

“Crème de Mint?” Lmaoooo 💀

Before that even. Gale was meant to be the main cook before he himself recommended Walter.

Victor might as well have been wearing a sign that said, "We're going to kill you, Walter."
It's honestly just a hunch, but I think Gus wants Gale to get the cook right so he can get rid of Walter. Don't you agree?
Nah he is just a concerned business man worried about his chicken restaurant special recipes surviving the head chef's passing.😢
Absolutely, but Gale could not believe, "grasp" it
This must have been before Gale was hired by Bobby Axelrod
So this must be Daniel Hardman’s cousin I see the family resemblance.
Gus should’ve stuck with Gale from the beginning, but like a lot of characters Gus could not keep his hands out of the cash drawer.

Gale is not an idiot and has a good poker face. Gus showing up unannounced at night is not a good thing most the time
I wonder if Gus ever purged Gale's catalyst 😂
why the f would victor come up to them to listen?
It's interesting Gale didn't believe Gus and figured out they were going to whack Walt, Viktor just confirm it for him.
Why would he believe that when he wasn't allowed even 3 cooks (3 weeks) with walt?
It was clear Gus was telling him without saying it outloud.
