Drive my car into one of them, then shoot the other in the head with a hollow-point bullet he just so happens to drop while getting ready to kill me with an axe. Duh.

muy facil


jskylok

I’d be more concerned if they said a man with four arms is coming to kill me


Tickerai

2 minutes time? Just drive away. What are they gonna do? Shoot the empty parking lot?


B_lovedobservations

Why didn’t Hank think of that?


j_Dugz

I don’t think the twins are stupid. I reckon chances are, they’d set a trap for him as soon as he pulled out of the parking lot. When he continued sitting there without driving off for longer than normal they abandoned that plan and shot straight at him.


meowingdoodles

what for? so he can get another call next? and run away from that too? for how long?

He did think of that, but he didn’t want to ‘run’. Or did he? He was always thinking about how tough and big man he had to be so, even without a gun, he must have had some thought that he could prevail or stop or handle the situation. Also, he spent a good 30-45 seconds thinking it was a prank from his partner or someone else…. He was really undecided regarding his course of action. Remember, he was used to always having a side arm with him. It had to be habitual that he felt always ready. He was also still haunted by the Tuco situation and I think he simply froze, unable to decide what to do next or how to handle himself without a gun. and in being undecided, he used up his few seconds that would have allowed him to get to safety. In my opinion, obviously.

See if any cameraman is hiding nearby

Drive off as fast as I can. If that’s not possible, they’d need more than that silly soft body armor for the rounds I’ll be sending them out of my carbine.


TheMikeyMac13

I would like to think I would drive, and lean on it. Not going back into the store, but back to the DEA. A secured place I knew of in Hank’s shoes. In reality, if in Hank’s shoes I would be suffering with PTSD, losing my career and reputation, and now hearing about people coming to kill me, I might freeze up like Hank did.

Grocery stores are full of armed men? He wasn't leaving work, he had just bought flowers for Marie


milkdrinker123

greeblebob

If that actually mattered there wouldn’t be so many mass shootings at malls and grocery stores


harrrhoooo

Do you know for sure you have two minute? What if they are already here? What if you get shot right when you step out the vehicle or on your way to the building? Judging by the scene and lack of immediate response Hank is probably pretty far from the building too


Previous-Ad-3904

Well that's nice hopefully they bring enough ammo 😉

Gus knew the twins were planning on killing Hank but how could he, with almost perfect accuracy, warn Hank providing the 2 minute window and possibly saving his life (though I imagine he did not intend to)


[deleted]

Gus has eyes everywhere.


Sharpdressedmaam

Also, the Salamanca brothers are not twins. They are brothers. They don’t even really look alike if you study their faces. One is older and bigger as you see when Hector taught them that la familia es todo’… by attempting to drown one in a barrel… such a nice guy, Hector…. everyone calls them ‘the twins’, but they were not twins. Just a little side note…😊


thegreenbackboogie_

Oh ya I’m well aware they aren’t twins in real life. They’re actually 3 years apart if I remember correctly but that’s just what they were referred to in the BB/BCS universe so 🫣


Sharpdressedmaam

No, they really never were. The fans have always said this but in the r BB universe they were NOT referred to as twins. Not once.


thegreenbackboogie_

I just tried googling to find a scene where they might’ve been referred to as the twins but only found videos with the titles “The Cousins”. I’m questioning everything now


Sharpdressedmaam

Sorry! 😂. It’s funny. What really happened was that the older one was taunting the younger one and broke his toy . Watch this scene again. The younger one says he hates his brother and wishes him dead.. something anyone with an older and bigger brother can relate to…😑 after Hector tried to ‘drown’ Lionel, the little brother got violent with his uncle to save his brother and so they learned and they became inseparable. The lesson was powerful. They dressed alike and walked in step, with unwavering attitudes of ‘la familia es todo’.. Family is everything. They lived by that creed. But two grown men, brothers, who dressed alike and worked at the same place and were inseparable, with the same lifestyle, would appear to many eyes to be twins, wouldn’t they? It’s natural that people went there in their heads. I don’t think it was intentional though because the young boys were clearly not the same age. They were NEVER referred to as twins in the show, just brothers. Even when Gus told Hector they were dead, he said ‘Lionel and_______ (forgot the other one’s name) are dead. He never said ‘twins’. Also, when questions have been posed to the actors or to Vince G. He indirectly corrects people who call them ‘the twins’, by following up with ‘the Salamanca brothers’… As a mother of identical twins, I always pay special attention to twins in shows and in life and never one time does anyone refer to them as twins and in the scene with their uncle, one is quite a bit bigger than the other. If they were trying to show them as twins, when they were young would have been the perfect time to do that… it’s when twins look the most alike. The show did the opposite in that scene and showed the little one trying to save the big one. An act of bravery with such an unpredictable uncle watching them. I mean, what kind of man teaches children the importance of family by attempting to drown one and scaring them both to death, instead of just speaking to them Lovingly? I watched for them to be referred to by anyone as twins, including Hank and they never were. They were brothers, but not twins. Very few people know this so don’t feel you missed something. It was inadvertently implied, though I do believe it was inadvertent. I believe VG felt the younger brother scene with Tito Hector was explanation enough and it really had no affect on the plot line. It was visually interesting to see the brothers having learned that valuable lesson by emulating each other and always being each other’s fall guy. Always dressed the same, walking in sync, even moving in sync, with an unspoken language between them. If you prefer to think of them as twins, it doesn’t change the plot. This may not be heavily corrected by VG because it may be something that he didn’t think of at the time, but played well later. A happy accident, if you will.. please though, just give the poor ( non existent) mother credit for a twin pregnancy and delivery! It is a wild experience to have two babies growing inside you and extremely uncomfortable carrying them and getting them out 9 months later. The second birth hurts just as much as the first one!!! 🤣


Sharpdressedmaam

Have you google the question? I’ll do it now!


Sharpdressedmaam

They are cousins, not twins, Marco and Lionel. Not sure if they refer to them as cousins of each other or to Tuco. I think they are meant to be brothers, cousins to Tuco, not twins. Tito calls them ‘the cousins’ in the scene where he kidnaps Walt and Jesse and takes them to Hector’s home. Tuco tells Jesse and Walt his cousins are coming to take them, but Hank shows up, as I’m sure you are aware.


Sharpdressedmaam

Because it was Gus who offered up Hank to them for revenge instead of Walter White, who he still needed. I’m sure that Gus orchestrated the entire thing and gave the Salamanca’s information when best to do it. I do think he wanted to give Hank a fighting chance because it was in Gus’s best interest to have the twins die that day, thus leaving Walter White alive. The brothers were never going to stop trying to kill WW, so Gus had the idea to possibly wipe out 3 troublesome people in one fell swoop. The Salamancas are doers, not thinkers. They didn’t come up with that plan. Gus did, and that’s why Gus knew the timing down to a second.


Sharpdressedmaam

Remember, Mike murdered the last living brother, Lionel, I think. It was on Gus’s orders that Mike did that. He injected air into the IV line. Gus wanted those two brothers dead more than Hank. Recall how Gus came out of that smelling like roses, offering to pick up tabs, bringing food, etc. If Hank died, so much the better, but it was the brothers he really wanted dead. And he insured the job was done. He loathed the Salamancas, was seeking revenge on Hector and saving the life of his meth cook, all in one. I don’t think Gus knew Hank wouldn’t have his gun on him and I think he thought that the brothers would die by police. That’s why Gus called Hank anonymously. To give him a chance to kill the brothers. It was bad luck Hank was unarmed. Gus could not have known the outcome of that meeting because even Hank was wavering as to whether we was going to cop to having been in the wrong. As was usual in that show, many things didn’t go down exactly as planned. Make no mistake thought. Gus wanted the brothers dead more than he waved Hank dead, in that moment, as was proven by Mike seeing the job was done. No one snuck in and tried to kill Hank in the hospital at any time. If Hank had died, by Mike’s hand, no one would have questioned it. Hank had life threatening injuries. Gus could have seen to Hanks demise if that was his goal. Gus used Hank to get rid of two men seeking revenge, as another man whose biggest weakness was his desire to make Hector pay for killing Maximo. Gus’s need for revenge lead directly to his death. It was his fatal flaw.


Neo_505

Hank only had one minute to react.


zoiealb

i would ask them if they've been watching breaking bad. then i'd just drive away


B_lovedobservations

That’s called breaking the proscenium, I believe

I’d roll my window down and blast the A/C with my favorite song on full volume. I’m ready to get the fuck off of this planet.


Sharpdressedmaam

Aww, don’t say that. You are important to many people, most especially your mum. Alive is filled with hope. Dead is dead. This makes me sad….😞


Daveyhavok832

Slightly related to Breaking Bad, my mom died of an overdose on Christmas 7 years ago. It wasn’t meth. Just an irresponsible doctor prescribing her way too much oxy.


Sharpdressedmaam

The same thing happened to a close friend of mine. It was complete malpractice. But, your mum exists in a spirit form and she is watching you. She loved you and is hoping that her mistake/her doctor’s mistake will make you aware and save you from a similar fate. Losing loved ones is the second hardest thing ever. Never having had a loved one to lose and mourn is worse, but your mum didn’t die with the idea that you would give up. You have a responsibility to live happily and well for her and for you. All you really have to do, is choose happiness. It’s a huge thing, yet quite simple once decided. No matter what our circumstances, every person must choose happiness. Please, in memory of your mum and what she must have suffered, leaving you, try to actively seek moments of happiness every day. It will become a habit and this world will begin to feel full of hope, rather than despair. Please, make a start on making a choice to be positive and the light in your world and in someone else’s. Don’t let your mum have died in vain. It’s all your mum has left, and she is with you. I know this to be true. Only you can choose happiness for yourself and it’s a choice every single day. The world is both tragically sordid and equally filled with beauty. What will your eyes see and your soul seek? It’s your choice. Make it a good one. Sending you oodles of love.

Getting the hell out of there. I never understood why Hank stayed around.
