Breaking Bad Season 3

As the city of Albuquerque deals with the aftermath of the mid-air collision, Walter confesses his meth cooking to Skyler, adding further tension and complications to their tenuous marriage. The two agree to keep Walter's activities secret from their son, Walt Jr. Meanwhile, Jesse completes rehab and uses his previous drug money to purchase his aunt's house, and later starts cooking meth on his own using the RV.

Gus approaches Walter with an offer of $3 million to cook meth in a huge state-of-the-art underground lab, hidden beneath an industrial laundry facility owned by Gus. Walter is initially reluctant until he learns Jesse is cooking again, and agrees to the offer. Walter is introduced to Gale, a skilled chemist chosen by Gus to assist in the lab. Though Gale is intelligent, Walter finds that he lacks the know-how Jesse gained to make their product correctly. Meanwhile, Tuco Salamanca's two cousins journey from Mexico to Albuquerque to kill Walter and avenge Tuco's death, under their uncle Hector's orders. Gus is able to call them off by suggesting they instead go after Walter's brother-in-law Hank, as he is the one who actually killed Tuco.

Hank is assigned to the El Paso office by the DEA, but stays in Albuquerque to trace a weak and questionable lead in the "Heisenberg" case, eventually discovering evidence that ties the RV to meth production. When Hank tells Walter about this lead, Walter races to help Jesse throw Hank off the case long enough for them to destroy the RV and any evidence tying it to meth production. Furious, Hank goes to Jesse's house and violently assaults him. Hank is ordered off duty, and after he leaves his hearing, he is attacked by Tuco's cousins. Though shot and paralyzed from the waist down, Hank manages to kill one and fatally wound the other. The DEA begins to investigate the assassins; Gus uses this to seize control of distribution from the hands of the Mexican cartel. Walter discovers the assassins were meant for him and confronts Gus on the larger scope of his plans.

Skyler has an affair with Ted and begins looking for a way to legitimately launder the money with the help of Walter's lawyer, Saul Goodman. They ultimately come up with a plan to funnel the money through a donation website that Walt Jr. had set up for his father's medical recovery.

Walter convinces Gus to replace Gale with Jesse, knowing they can make better product together. Jesse secretly skims some of the meth to sell on the side, leading Gus to warn Walter about their product yield and putting Walter on edge. Jesse starts dating Andrea, whose younger brother Tomas was responsible for the death of Jesse's friend Combo; he discovers that Tomas works with two drug dealers, unaware they are in Gus' employ, and asks Walter to make up ricin poison to kill them. Walter alerts Gus, and Jesse is brought to a meeting by Gus' cleaner Mike, where Gus promises to stop using children in the drug trade. Later, Jesse learns that the two dealers have killed Tomas since he is no longer useful, and prepares to kill them himself, but Walter instead arrives and runs over them with his car, and tells Jesse to go into hiding.

Gus reinstates Gale as Walter's assistant and keeps the lab under constant supervision. Walter realizes Gale is being groomed to replace him, and instructs Jesse to locate Gale's home address. Later, Walter is forced to the lab by Mike under the guise of a chemical leak. Concluding he is about to be killed, Walter pleads with Jesse to kill Gale. Jesse goes to Gale's house, and the two of them begin to cry as Jesse holds up the gun, reluctantly pulling the trigger.
