History Recap / BreakingBadS2E2Grilled

Tuco, having abducted Walt and Jesse at gunpoint, takes them with him to the residence of his uncle, Hector "Tio" Salamanca, near the Mexican border, where tell them about his plans, namely that he wants to bring Walt with him south of the border to forcibly employ him as his main meth cook. Walt is, of course, not trilled about this, and neither is Jesse, as Tuco sees him as a expendable part of all this.

At the DEA's offices, Hank briefs his colleagues on the status of Tuco's crumpling drug empire; the DEA have managed to effectively dismantle the organisation, and only needs to arrest one last suspect, Tuco himself. Despite ensuring his team that they will find him, he privately remarks to Gomez that Tuco in all probability is already out of their reach across the border. He then goes to meet with the rest of Walt's family, who are searching for Walt after he went missing last night. Hank knowing that Walt has had contact with Jesse in the past, decides to check up on him, and hear if he knows where to find Walt.

Walt and Jesse, meanwhile, tries to figure out a way to kill or incapacitate Tuco so they can make their escape. To make matters worse, Tuco believes that Gonzo is the guy who ratted him and his gang out, and Walt fears that the moment that he finds out the truth, that Gonzo is actually dead, he will no doubt blame either him or Jesse for his downfall, and on top of that, Tuco's cousins will be joining up with him in a few hours, meaning that however they are going to get rid of Tuco, they have to do it quickly.

Having kept the bag of meth poisoned with ricin in his pocket, Walt attempts to coax the constantly drug-snorting Tuco into taking some of it. Tuco, however, notices that the sample smells weird, and Jesse quickly improvises a sales-spiel and manages to convince the sceptical Tuco that is a new special recipe of Walt's, but accidentally makes a mistake as he says that it contains chili powder. Tuco scoffs at this, and commenting that he hates chili, he decides to leave the bag alone.

Hank continues his hunt for Jesse, and visits his parents. Mrs. Pinkman is worried that Jesse is in trouble with the law, but Hank ensures her that his reasons for wanting to talk with her son is purely private. She informs Hank that Jesse no longer lives with her and her husband, and directs him to his current address, the house of Jesse's aunt. Being unable to find Jesse there either, Hank decides to check up on his car, since Mrs. Pinkman told him that Jesse drives a red Monte Carlo that he converted to a lowrider. He calls Gomez to find out if Jesse installed a [=LoJack=] car-tracking system, and, if so, to try to get a fix on the vehicle's location.

Walt now tries to sneak the poisoned meth into Tuco's food, but Tuco's uncle, Tio, interferes and knocks the plate off the table. Noticing his uncle's strange behavior, Tuco tries to ask him what is wrong, and Tio, despite being old, wheelchair-bound, and only capable of communicating by ringing a bell, manages to convey to Tuco that Walt and Jesse is up to no good. Furious, Tuco grabs Jesse and drags him outside, overhearing Walt's protests and pleas for Jesse's life, and pointing a gun at Jesse, Tuco demands that Walt tells him what he is up to. Noticing that Jesse is about to pick up a rock, Walt attracts Tuco's attention by admitting, with no shortage of spite, that he tried to poison him, and tells him through gritted teeth: "You're an insane, degenerate piece of filth. And you deserve to die."

Walt's distraction works, and Tuco takes his eyes of Jesse long enough for him to hit him on the head with the rock. During the ensuing scuffle, Walt grabs Tuco's assault rifle and Jesse ends up with his pistol, shooting the drug dealer in his side. He proceeds to kick the wounded Tuco into an hole, but Walt tells him to leave him there to bleed, as they head for Jesse's car.

But they soon discover that they don't have the keys to the car, and they discover an approaching vehicle. Believing it to be is Tuco's cousins, Walt drops the assault rifle as he and Jesse decides to get away as quickly as they can. But as they have gotten to vantage point at a distance, Walt discovers that it is actually Hank who has arrived in his car. Tuco, meanwhile, has managed to drag himself out of the hole and hobbles bleeding over to Jesse's car to learn against it. Hank disembarks from his car, and addresses him, but believes him to Jesse, before he realizes that the person front of him is actually Tuco. Hank and Tuco is for a short moment stunned in mutual disbelief, but Tuco snaps out of it first and quickly grabs the dropped assault rife and fires away at Hank, who jumps into cover and returns fire.

Hank disembarks from his car, and discovers him, but at first he doesn't realize that it is Tuco, which gives Tuco time to grab the dropped assault rife and fire away at Hank, who quickly jumps into cover and returns fire.

Tuco, however, is too wounded to shoot straight, and Hank manages to shoot and kill him. Walt, watching from a distance as his brother-in-law emerges victorious from the firefight, grabs Jesse's arm and the two run into the desert. As Hank walks over to inspect Tuco's body, he suddenly hears the ringing of a bell...
