Breaking Bad - Season 4 - Vince Gilligan Talks about Gus' Death Scene

Share on Reddit

Gus is a man who had one Achilles Heel, as far as we know: His burning desire for vengeance against the people who killed Max, who was very important to him. We don’t tend to nail things down on Breaking Bad. It’s fun to be a little mysterious, and it’s nice to have the audience come up with backstories on their own. Having said that, I personally think Max was more than just a friend to Gus. I think they probably were lovers. And therefore it was understandably a very crushing, terrible loss for Gus, one that he would never forget. That one bit of emotion that he allowed himself ultimately proved to be his undoing.

Many months before we got to the point of writing that last episode, I had the image of a bomb going off. Kaboom! I could almost watch it, like a little movie inside my brain. The oblique angle of the door exploding outward. We’re thinking, “Wow, that’s the end of it. That was a great explosion.” Then we’re still holding. Why are we still holding? Out walks Gus Fring in profile, and we come around on him…

I had that image very squarely in my head. It was a matter of making it a reality. Our wonderful crew of very, very talented people made that happen. It was a joint effort between our physical special effects department, who did the explosion, and Greg Nicotero and his amazing team of prosthetic makeup artists and sculptors. Greg Nicotero, of course, is a producer on The Walking Dead. He and his team are responsible for all of the really amazing zombies on that show.
