Why jesse beat up saul

But then he dies. And then Tuco beats him some more. Signature Moment: Being perhaps the only person to tell Mike how to do something — in this case, how to fire a long-range weapon to take out Hector Salamanca — and have Mike actually listen. Unlike all the poor souls targeted by his untraceable killing machines, he does indeed. Known For: Wishing he were the ultimate cartel boss.

And loving horses. This was a bad idea. As you may have guessed, no such luck. And Gus smiled. Known For: Swimming in speedos, antagonizing and ordering the killings of friends and enemies, enjoying fine tequila. Except Gus excused himself and puked it up. Known For: Running as tidy a ship managing chicken joint Los Pollos Hermanos as he does a growing meth fiefdom. And being both fastidiously collected and prone to explosive demonstrations of violence.

Signature Moment: Almost impossible to choose. His demise was legendary, but that first show of real force — sacrificing poor Victor to prove a point to Walt and Jesse — left even Mike agape.

It was a tribute of sorts to his stature as an all-time small-screen foe that Gus initially walked away from a lethal explosion.

Only problem was that he was missing half of his face. Ice is as cold as he. Walt, of all people, gets the final say in how this tough-as-nails bastard bites it. Though, strangely, there by the lake, he also provides a long-suffering man his overdue moment of peace.

As Saul, running a crooked law practice that ostensibly abets criminals like Gus, Walt, and Jesse, and produces some epically awesome local TV ads. As Gene, managing a Cinnabon in an Omaha, Nebraska, mall.

Neff — who endures a humiliating admonishment from Jimmy about what separates winners from losers — pretty crucial. Although teaching dum-dum Jesse how to launder money in what apparently is not the same nail salon he used as a makeshift office early on in BCS in Breaking Bad was quintessential shady Saul and sympathetic Jimmy. As of the season four BCS cold open, Gene has survived a health scare but gets the sense that his days flying under the radar are finally numbered.

An earlier version of this list failed to include Mike Ehrmantraut, so let the record show that he is one of the most crucial links between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

John Contributor Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Jack Welker's Gang watch Jesse's confession video. Jesse has a near-brush with death once more when Jack Welker realizes that he'd sold his nephew Todd out to the DEA on account of his murder of Drew Sharp via Jesse's confession video they'd stolen from the Schrader residence , but he is saved by Todd, who pleads with Jack to keep Jesse alive so they can cook more meth and keep Lydia Rodarte-Quayle happy at the same time, as he has feelings for her.

Jack decides to let Jesse live, while it's revealed that Jesse now has the photo of Andrea Cantillo and Brock Cantillo from the lab with him in his cage. He removes its paperclip and begins to pick his handcuffs. Once Jesse has unlocked his hand and ankle-cuffs, he tries to reach the cage bars above his head. Hearing Todd approaching, he quickly puts the cuffs back on and pretends to be resting. After Todd leaves, Jesse frees himself again and manages to escape the cage.

He heads to the fences, but unknowingly runs past a security video camera and is caught by the white supremacists while trying to climb the fence. Refusing to cook meth for them anymore, Jesse tells them to just kill him. Instead, they take Jesse, bound and gagged, to Andrea's house. Todd walks to the front door and rings the doorbell.

Andrea answers and believes Todd's story that he is a friend of Jesse's and brought him to see her. Jesse desperatly screams from inside the car, but Andrea is unable to see him. Todd pulls a silenced pistol out and shoots her in the head. Jesse cries in anguish as Jack tells him, "Remember, there's still the kid. Later, in a dreamlike moment, a younger and happier Jesse is finishing a wooden box for his woodworking class back in high school " Kafkaesque ". The box is perfect and Jesse enjoys the smell of it as he gives it the final touches.

A second later he's jolted awake from the daydream in a moment months later, bearded and scarred, still a prisoner of Jack Welker's Gang , cooking meth for them in the warehouse. Later, in an angry effort to prove to Walt that he's not working with Jesse, but rather that Jesse is working for him, Jack has Todd bring Jesse, bound in handcuffs and ankle-cuffs, out of the meth lab and into the clubhouse, where Walt and the gang await.

Jesse is brought to the room and Jack tells Walt to take a good look at Jesse, saying that he'd never partner with a rat. Walt approaches the ragged Jesse, inspecting the ghost of his former partner as Jack continues to trash talk to him.

Understanding that Jesse is a captive, and not willingly complicit in the gang's meth production, Walt feigns anger and tackles Jesse to the floor. The neo-Nazis are amused and start laughing at the struggle. Kenny jokes as Todd tries to get Walt off of Jesse, but Walt pushes the trunk-open button on the car remote control. Outside, the trunk of the car opens, exposing the mounted machine gun.

It automatically starts to open fire, oscillating on the garage door opener's motor, and rips through the vehicle and building. The rain of bullets start a mayhem inside the clubhouse room and quickly kills Kenny, Frankie, Matt and Lester.

Todd ducks in time to avoid the fire but Jack is seriously injured by a bullet to the abdomen. Walt covers Jesse as the machine gun continues to fire bullets through the wall and windows, but a stray bullet hits Walt in the abdomen. After the automatic M60 runs out of ammo, Todd crawls to the window to investigate what happened. Jesse jumps up and starts to strangle Todd with the chain of his handcuffs.

The two men struggle on the ground until Todd's neck snaps and his body falls limp. Jesse has killed him, avenging the deaths of Drew Sharp and Andrea. After Walt has killed Jack, the last surviving gang member, Jesse unlocks his hand-and foot-cuffs and gets up, now facing Walt, who still has the pistol in hand. After an intense and silent stare, Walt slides his gun to his former student, who picks it up and aims at Walt.

Walt tells him "you want this" to which Jesse replies that he won't pull the trigger unless Walt says he wants it. Walt admits "I want this," but Jesse notices Walt is bleeding from his side. He drops the gun and tells Walt to do it himself. The final shot of Jesse in Breaking Bad, driving away from the compound to freedom.

In a final moment outside, Jesse and Walt share one last look of gratitude as the two nod farewell to one another. Jesse gets in Todd's car and plows through the gates of the compound to freedom, laughing and crying hysterically; he at last has his chance to start over " Felina ". Immediately following Jesse's escape from the compound, Jesse gets help from Skinny Pete and Badger to hide the El Camino, which had belonged to Todd, for the night, and tries to get Old Joe to take it for demolition, but Joe finds the car equipped with LoJack, meaning authorities are likely looking for it in connection to the shooting at the compound.

Jesse goes back to Todd's apartment, knowing from past events that Todd has a stash of money there. After literally tearing apart the entire apartment looking for the money, Jesse begins to despair before inadvertently finding the money, hidden inside the refrigerator door.

Before Jesse can fully pry the door open, he runs into two police officers investigating the apartment. Jesse quickly takes one of them hostage, but surrenders when the other officer tells him Jesse doesn't have any other choice.

However, Jesse quickly realizes the two men aren't officers but are thugs looking for the money as well. Before anything can happen, they are interrupted by Todd's neighbor. Jesse leads Neil to the money, but insists on taking some for himself. Though Neil threatens him to leave, Jesse refuses to, surmising if he shoots him, Neil, and his partner, Casey , would have to kill everyone else in the apartment complex who was a witness. Reluctantly, Neil gives Jesse a third of the money, but only as he leaves does he recognize him as the owner of Kandy Welding Co.

In addition, Neil was the same man who watched him, with Todd, get tormented by Kenny. After unsuccessfully trying to convince Ed to help him, he decides to get the rest of the money. Jesse travels to Kandy Welding Co.

Neil offers to duel Jesse for the money, stating whoever wins takes the other's share of the money. But as Neil draws his gun, Jesse quickly shoots him down with the second gun hidden in his jacket. Casey, panicking, tries to shoot Jesse, the two exchanging gunfire, but Jesse manages to shoot him in the head, killing him. He forces the other men there to flee, threatening them with their lives, takes Neil's share of the money, and blows up the shop to cover his tracks.

Jesse pays Ed, who takes him to Alaska to start a new life, an idea given to Jesse by Mike. During the journey, Jesse remembers Walt, who once encouraged him to pursue college and told him that he's lucky he didn't have to wait his whole life to do something special, during their meth business together.

When they finally arrive in Alaska, Ed quizzes him on his new identity as Mr. Driscoll and wishes Jesse luck on his fresh start, noting the people like them don't usually get one. Before driving off, Jesse gives Ed a letter to mail to Brock as a farewell.

As Jesse drives off, he recalls Jane's advice about life and that only he can make the decisions in his life, smiling as he begins anew.

Jesse is 5' 7" according to his mugshot. Gus's doctor says that Jesse has A- blood type, is 25 years old, 70 kg lbs , cm 5'11" , and is allergic to erythromycin a common antibiotic " Crawl Space ". Jesse's hair length changes over the course of the series several times. During his imprisonment by Jack Welker's Gang , he gains longer hair and a beard which are both matted. Due to the torture he suffers at the hands of the gang, Jesse is left with several facial scars, at least two on the top of his head which are visible after he shaves it and some on his back as well.

Jesse is impulsive and hedonistic, but also personable and possesses street-smarts. He talks in playful slang, frequently using words like "yo" and "bitch", and likes to wear garish clothing that follows the latest trends in youth culture, plays video games, listens to loud music, takes recreational drugs, and drove a car fitted with hydraulics.

Jesse's MyShout page lists his general interests as "Fine herbage! Keepin' it real, etc. Jesse often enjoyed hanging out and smoking with his friends, Badger and Skinny Pete, and purchasing items like a giant-screen television for his home or a Roomba vacuum cleaner. It's no surprise that Jesse does quite well for himself with the ladies.

The two notable exceptions are when he used the word to describe Skyler White not in her presence and when he called his mother the word to her face. Jesse adores women and children, and harming one is a very good way to send him into a murderous rage. Using children in criminal activities is particularly heinous in his eyes. He has been shown to have personal connections with several children throughout the series, such as Spooge 's son and Brock Cantillo.

Jesse also takes Todd's murder of Drew Sharp , a young boy, very hard and is furious that Walt and Mike decide to continue working with Todd. In fact, it is Sharp's death that finally pushes Jesse over the edge and causes him to exit the meth business once and for all. While Jesse was not a very good student, his mother said that his chemistry teacher, Walter White, saw potential in him. Jesse would later deliver on that potential, producing a product on his own which Walt begrudgingly concedes is as good as what Walt himself produced.

The meth that Jesse cooks in front of the Cartel chemists has a purity of In addition, Jesse's cook at the cartel superlab was superior to that of the cartel chemist who was noted by Don Eladio to have multiple fancy college degrees. However, at the same time, Jesse's lack of chemistry education can be seen in the fact that he didn't know how to synthesize one of the compounds he would need, something that the cartel chemist stated that a sophomore chemistry student could do.

By this point, Jesse had enough confidence in his abilities to take charge in the superlab and order the cartel staff around, channeling Walt's behavior in the lab. Though the staff begrudgingly followed his commands, both Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut were visibly proud of his attitude.

Jesse also comes up with several clever plans, namely the magnet plan and his plan to get money from Neil and Casey. Jesse has a serious reaction to killing Gale Boetticher , who, despite being a meth cook, is an otherwise decent and innocent person.

Jesse does not take the experience lightly, the moment where he becomes a murderer changes him for the rest of the series from that point on. At first, Jesse has somewhat of a delayed reaction to what he has done; when Walt asks Jesse at the Denny's, "Seriously, are you all right? However, his subsequent killing of Joaquin Salamanca in self-defense appears to only leave him stunned for a moment " Salud " and he doesn't hesitate at all to kill Todd Alquist " Felina " or Neil Kandy and Casey , though he only threatens the two when he believes they are police officers, not wanting to harm cops.

Another difference is that unlike Gale, the other four were criminals and are not innocent people with all but Todd being in self-defense. With Neil and Casey, Jesse tried to avoid violence, but Neil left him no other way out. He also appeared to have tears in his eyes briefly after killing Neil and Casey, though he quickly recovered within moments. Out of the series' entire cast, perhaps second only to Walt, Jesse's personality changes have been the most dramatic; most noticeably after Jane's death and Gale's murder.

His time with Walt has transformed him from a laid-back jokester and much of the show's comic relief in the early seasons, to a troubled, woeful and sorrowful shadow of his former self as the series has progressed. As a result from looking after Brock and dating Andrea, Jesse became more caring towards children, even punching Todd in the face for killing a young man, even though he witnessed them doing illegal activities.

Earlier in the series, after witnessing the severe neglect Spooge's son suffered, Jesse called and left the line open to ensure the police would find both the murdered Spooge and his son, making sure the boy would get a better life. When carrying the boy outside, Jesse took care to make sure that he didn't see the carnage as well. After escaping from Jack Welker's Compound , Jesse appears to suffer from post traumatic stress disorder from the brutal torture of the gang and from Walt's treatment towards him.

While showering, Jesse experiences a flashback to being sprayed with water and has a violent reaction towards Skinny Pete and Badger after waking up and thinking he was back in his cell. When talking with Neil Kandy , Jesse states that if he's caught, he's dead anyway, suggesting that after his imprisonment by the gang he considers going to prison to be a death sentence for himself. Now dedicated towards starting a new life for himself, Jesse appears to have regained much of his old personality rather than the submissive one he was forced to take on during his captivity but with greater traces of violence.

During his second confrontation with Neil Kandy and Casey , Jesse showed a pragmatic approach to the situation, only requesting exactly the amount of money he needed and brushing off the mockery aimed at the Colt Woodsman he was armed with.

When the situation escalated into a Wild West-style duel, Jesse won because he secretly kept a second gun hidden in his jacket pocket which he used to kill Neil before exchanging fire with Casey. Throughout the conversation, Jesse kept the Woodsman on display in his pants, but kept his left hand in his jacket pocket and presumably on the other gun in case he needed it, something none of the men in the shop noted to be out of the ordinary.

This led to Neil, Casey and the other men underestimating Jesse. When threatening the other men, Jesse responded to one telling Jesse that he has children with a "do you think I give a shit? However, it's clear that Jesse didn't actually mean his threats as he departed for Alaska shortly thereafter and just meant it as a means of intimidation and a bluff. After arriving in Alaska, Jesse is shown to be pleased that he is finally free of his past and of his chance to begin anew, leaving all the horrors he has experienced behind him completely.
