Storyline
Having been kidnapped by a crazed Tuco, Walt and Jesse are held prisoner by him in a desert shack where he often hides out and takes care of his sick uncle. Walt's brother-in-law Hank and the DEA have rolled Tuco's entire organization and he thinks that his two prisoners may have been a source of information. Walt tries to feed Tuco the poison he prepared. Walter Jr. meanwhile takes a bit of time off to look for Walt. Skyler is sick with worry and has been distributing handbills with Walt's photo. He remembers that Jesse Pinkman was Walt's source of marijuana and tries to track him down. Tuco finally realizes that his prisoners are up to something and is obviously going to kill Jesse. After a fight in which Tuco is shot, Hank shows up looking for Jesse. Written by garykmcd

Trivia
The character of Tuco Salamanca was originally going to be much bigger, and become Walt's nemesis for much of season 2. Unfortunately there was a scheduling conflict with the actor Raymond Cruz appearing in TNT's The Closer. So the character was written out. See more »Goofs
Hank refers to Jesse's car as an "89 Monte Carlo." Chevrolet did not offer the Monte Carlo for the 1989 model year. Additionally, the styling of Jesse's car indicates an earlier model year, possibly a 1981 or 1982. See more »Soundtracks

Like some other episodes this has a prologue that shows later events; we are shown Jesse's car bouncing up and down in the desert surrounded by shell cases from an automatic rifle. We then go back to earlier and see Hank briefing his men about Tuco; they have raided his premises but haven't found him yet. He then gets a call from Skyler asking for help because Walt has gone missing. As they try to figure out what to do it becomes apparent that Walt is keeping secrets when Hank mentions that he must have a second mobile phone.
Walt and Jesse meanwhile have been driven by Tuco to a remote house in the desert where he is looking after his sick uncle. It becomes apparent that Tuco thinks Gonzo informed on him and he decides that he will move the operation over the border into Mexico... and Walt will have to come with him whether he likes it or not. With things looking bad they decide to poison Tuco with the ricin Walt made in the previous episode. It won't be easy though as Tuco's uncle understands what is going on far more than they suspected and even though he can't talk he makes it clear to Tuco that he doesn't trust Walt... this leads to the inevitable confrontation and we learn how all the shell casings we saw at the beginning came to be there.
The second season continues to provide top notch entertainment. The scenes in the desert were tense as it was only a matter of time before Tuco got violent. The apparently senile old man added to the tension as the way he looked at Walt and Jesse showed he was sharper than he looked. When he started pinging his bell it was just a matter of time before Walt and Jesse would be fighting for their lives. Once again the ending proved to a surprise and will leave viewers wondering how they will get away this time. As always the acting is solid from everybody involved.
