To provide for his family's future after he is diagnosed with lung
cancer, a chemistry genius turned high school teacher teams up with an
ex-student to cook and sell the world's purest crystal meth. Plot:
Albuquerque and the rest of the country is in shock after the mid-air 737 collision at the end of the second season. Walter
tells Skyler about his involvement in the meth business, further
increasing tension in their marriage. Walt is initially hesitant to take
up Gus on a lucrative offer to continue cooking meth in a high-tech "superlab", but later discovers that Jesse,
out of rehab, has cooked a batch of the blue meth himself using Walt's
techniques; Walt, furious, accepts Gus's offer, while leaving Skyler
with signed divorce
papers that still list him as the financial provider for the family.
Skyler refuses to sign the papers, as she herself is an accessory to
Walt's crimes. However, she begins to work with Saul Goodman to find a legitimate business to funnel Walt's drug money through to keep the family's take clean. Skyler also begins a sexual relationship with her boss Ted.
Hank, despite orders to go to El Paso, follows a tenuous lead on the "Heisenberg" case, and ends up linking Jesse and his RV to the blue meth. Walt quickly races to warn Jesse, but as they are preparing to destroy the RV, Hank arrives at the junkyard
where it is being kept. Walt, with Saul's help, has Jesse claim rights
against illegal searches and draws Hank's attention away with a feigned
emergency call regarding his wife, giving them time to crush the RV.
Hank is furious and assaults Jesse at his home, leading to his temporary
suspension from the DEA while investigation on his behavior continues.
Meanwhile, two Cartel assassins arrive in Albuquerque to avenge the
death of their cousin, Tuco Salamanca. The semi-invalid Hector Salamanca
directs his two nephews
to Walt, but Gus calls them off just outside of Walt's shower. Gus
asserts that Walt works for him and is essential to his current
operation. In compromise, Gus gives the assassins the name of Tuco's
actual killer, DEA agent Hank Schrader.
Leaving his disciplinary meeting, now on suspension with no badge or
firearm, Hank is warned anonymously (by Gus) minutes before the
axe-wielding assassins arrive. Hank uses his SUV
to pin and crush the legs of one but then he is shot, although not
fatally, by the other. Moments before the shooter would have driven a
fire axe through Hank's skull, Hank uses the injured cousin's gun to
shoot the axe-wielding cousin.
As the authorities investigate Hank's attackers, Gus uses the
situation as a pretense to have killed Cartel leader Juan Bolsa, thus
ending the Mexican meth pipeline into the area, now putting him in
complete control of all operations there. Walt realizes that the
assassins were meant for him and the end goal of Gus's involvement.
Walt is initially very pleased with Gale,
the assistant he is given to operate the superlab. However, when Walt
realizes he needs Jesse back under his control, he claims
dissatisfaction with Gale, and is able to negotiate for Jesse to replace
Gale. When Gus successfully blocks the Cartel's drug trade, he offers
Walt $15 million annually to continue cooking, an offer not extended to
Jesse. Jesse skims a small portion of the meth to sell on his own, an
action that both Gus and Walt are aware of but do not discuss. Jesse has
been seeing Andrea
through his rehab sessions, but soon discovers that her younger brother
Tomas killed Combo on orders of Gus's street-level dealers. Walt is
able to convince Gus to end the involvement of children in drug
trafficking to assure his continued participation. However, Tomas is
soon found dead and Jesse surmises that Gus's agents are responsible.
Morally outraged, he plans a reckless revenge. Milliseconds before a
potentially fatal shoot-out ensues on a dimly-lit, barrio street-corner,
Walt slams his green Aztek
into both street-thugs and then point-blank executes the surviving,
injured thug. A now terrified, yet stoic, Walter warns the now
incredulous, open-jawed Jesse to "run".
Gus secures the lab, reinstates Gale as Walt's assistant, and puts
his henchman, Victor, into overseeing all lab activities. From Gale's
questions about the meth cooking process, Walt surmises Gus has plans to
kill him once he has outlived his usefulness. Meeting Jesse in secret,
Walt believes they need to kill Gale to assure Walt's usefulness to Gus
as a meth cook, and has Jesse locate Gale's residence. Some nights later
as Walt prepares to kill Gale, he is instead brought to the lab by
Victor on the pretense of a chemical spill. When Walt sees Mike, Gus's
"cleaner" there, he realizes his time is up, and offers Jesse's current
location to save himself. He calls Jesse under the pretense of luring
him in, but instead tells Jesse to kill Gale, knowing that Gus's men
will not be able to arrive in time to stop it. Jesse goes to Gale's
apartment and the season ends with Gale's pleas and a gun-shot.
