HEY. I'm here to finish what I started. I took an 8 month break to do the second half of my list (About the length between the two halves of season 5) and let's just say I did that on purpose.
I know Breaking Bad is over now, so maybe some interest in this list will decrease, but I'm here to give you the rest
#10. One Minute (Season 3)"Two men are coming to kill you. You have one minute."What a fucking ending! Okay, let's rewind a bit. At the beginning of the episode, Tuco's cousins, Leonel and Marco, are shown in a flashback. Hector nearly drowns Marco to make a statement that family is all they have. In present day, it is shown that the cousins are going after Hank. Meanwhile, Hank's priority is beating Jesse's ass for being tricked into thinking Marie was in the hospital. Can you blame the guy? He really, really pulverizes Jesse, and he makes him looked like a bruised grapefruit afterwards. However, Jesse has the upper hand. He plans to press charges against Hank. Also, Walt is upset that Gale isn't the partner that Jesse is. Walt demands to have Jesse back, and Gus approves. Walt visits Jesse, who is very upset. He doesn't want much to do with Walt anymore, but he is finally convinced to come work with Walt at the lab. Hank is suspended and his gun is taken away, unfortunately. On the bright side, Jesse decided not to press charges, so at least something is going his way. The last scene of the episode is such a big one. Hank is out shopping and when he gets back in his SUV, he receives a mysterious call, informing him of the danger ahead. The voice says that two men are coming for him, and he's got one minute. He thinks it's a joke at first, but starts panicking when Gomez doesn't answer. One of the cousins, Leonel, is now standing behind his SUV and starts shooting. Hank floors it in reverse, but takes a shot in the arm. He pins him up against another car, disabling him. At the same time, Leonel shoots him in the side from the driver's window. Hank escapes from the SUV, and grabs the Leonel's gun. He then finds Marco and shoots him several times. However, he's wearing a bullet proof vest, so nothing is working. He then shoots Hank twice. This is 4 times Hank has been shot, and he's finally on the ground. He could have been killed right there, but Marco wants to be gruesome about it, so he goes to get the ax from his trunk. Hank finds that bullet close by and tries to load it before Marco returns. As he has the axe in the air about to slam down on him, Hank shoots him right in the head. DEAD. When this episode ended, the thought that Hank dying wasn't out of the question.
Favorite Scene: The parking lot scene, of course. My brother watched this before I started the show and he kept telling me that this episode was gonna be good. I just couldn't wait to see it. By the time it had nearly reached it's end, I was thinking, wow, it's good, but wasn't something big supposed to happen? Then this happened. While Hank is technically an antagonist to Walt and Jesse, he's the guy you cheer for here, obviously. Watching this scene just gave me chills, especially when he's about to receive an axe through his skull. This scene proved that Hank was in fact, a fucking badass.
