Agent Hank Schrader vs. The Cousins
Season Three served as the tipping point for Breaking Bad, both figuratively and literally. As more and more fans begun to learn of Walter White’s journey, millions were introduced to the love triangle from hell starring Agent Hank Schrader (Walt’s DEA brother-in-law) and Tuco’s cousins.
The violence came to a head which left Hank forever scarred, “The Cousins” remembered as two of the scariest mo-fo’s to grace the TV screen, and audiences engaged and ready for more.

Walt Murders Gus Fring
One of the most memorable death scenes, period, finds audiences mourning the loss of Gus Fring. As Walt’s methodical and quietly ruthless boss, Gus managed to survive the Mexican cartel and more to become the king of the drug heap. When pitted against his ace (Jesse Pinkman) and pushed into a life-or-death situation, Walt decides to go for the crown.
The image of seeing Gus with his face half blown off, adjusting his tie like nothing at all happened is a huge turning point in the program and lasts as one of the more moving parts on Breaking Bad ever witnessed.

Todd Alquist Kills Innocent Kid
Taking his drug kingpin up to the next level, Walt gets help from Todd Alquist who worked with him and Jesse at Vamonos Pest. Joining with Walt and Jesse for a heist from the top of a moving train, the three secure the methylamine and instantly Alquist has a place in Walt’s heart.
Unbeknownst to them, a child, young Drew Sharp, witnessed the whole occasion. Todd pulls out his pistol, shoots and fatally kills the boy in the chest. As Jesse screams in protest, Walt basically looks like it “one more log on the fire,” and we all witness just how low in the dirt Mr. White has become.

Walter White Murders Mike Ehrmantraut
The character of Mike (played by Jonathan Banks) feels as if he’s had enough of “the game.” Feeling drawn out by the DEA, and left battered from the war with Walt, Mike gets taken out by Mr. White. Truly, no one saw it coming (not even Mike), and the scene was beautifully scribed by Thomas Schnauz who knocked the episode right out of the ballpark.

The Exploding Tortoise Head
Actor Danny Trejo was brought in to play Tortuga, a Juárez Cartel drug runner who worked for Juan Bolsa. When it was discovered that he was also a criminal informant to the DEA, audiences wondered aloud just what happened to the big talking commander.
In the Season Three episode, “I.F.T.,” Tortuga’s severed head appeared on the back of a desert tortoise. His name translates into tortoise, and once the creature crawled to a point… ahh, well, we’ll let you see the rest.
