"Dude's wife crushed his head with an ATM machine."
'Negro y Azul' features one of the most bizarre, yet brilliant openings the show ever did, as a Mexican band sing a song about the drug boss Heisenberg and how he's 'already dead'. After that, we follow Hank to El Paso, where he really struggles to fit in, but eventually becomes very important when things go bad. We also see Skyler return to work for a man named Ted Beneke (Christopher Cousins), where she worked four years previously, and we get to see how the ATM incident means Jesse has a reputation for violence now.
Of course, with the almost legendary reputation that Walt, or Heisenberg, now has, the pair of them make for quite a partnership. Jesse ends the episode by showing Jane his new TV, as she holds his hand. It's a nice moment for Jesse - Jane seems like she would be good for him.
Hank, on the other hand, doesn't get a nice moment here. Things go from bad to worse as at first, he isn't particularly liked by his colleagues, then Tortuga (Danny Trejo) makes fun of him, before he spots Tortuga's severed head on a tortoise and has a panic attack. Then, to top things off, the tortoise explodes and Hank is a hero - fastening a belt around what remains of his colleague's leg. Hank was already struggling after the death of Tuco, so it's likely that this will make him feel worse.
I write this almost every time I do a review, but this was another great episode.
9.2/10
