Watch Breaking Bad Season 3, Episode 13 - Full Measure On line 

Plot:
Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a struggling high school chemistry teacher with a handicapped teenage son (RJ Mitte) and pregnant wife (Anna Gunn). When the already tense White is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he breaks down and turns to a life of crime, setting up a meth lab with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in a desire to secure his family's future financial security.

Review:
Life wasn’t always so dark for Walter White, as evidenced by the flashback sequence which depicts a younger Walt and Skyler as they prepare to buy their first (only) house. Skyler wonders why Walt seems unsatisfied by the starter house, and Walt replies, “Where else can we go but up?” Back in the present, things are anywhere but up. After the events of last week, Walt is summoned to a tension-filled meeting in the desert with Gus and Mike; they “settle” on new terms, obviously Jesse (on the run and being pursued by Mike) is out, and Walt will be getting a cooking partner, which turns out to be Gale, returning after being dismissed some weeks back.

But even then, Walt’s got to know that Gus is tiring of the messes he and Jesse get themselves into.Later, Mike goes on a little mission for Gus, single-handedly thwarting a cartel-led raid on his chemical supply company. We see up close and personal how badass Mike can be. Meanwhile, Gale, who’s been trying to stay on Walt’s good side at the lab, gets a visit from Gus. Gale’s floored when it’s clear that Gus may be giving him a promotion at Walt’s expense. Walt figures out that Gus plans on getting rid of him very soon.The invisible walls are closing in fast on Walt and Jesse in last night’s season finale of “Breaking Bad,” 


“Full Measure.”After Mike strong-arms Saul into giving him an address to where Jesse has escaped to, we see Saul with Walt, talking over the purchase of a laser tag business. But in reality, Jesse is hiding out there. Walt lays it on the line: the only way he has a chance to stay alive is if the only other person who can cook in Walt’s “absence” is Gale. Meaning, Walt has designs on killing Gale: “I’ve saved your life…I need you to save mine!” Jesse tracks down Gale’s address and passes it to Walt. Just as he’s about to go over there, Victor, who’s been guarding Walt at the lab since Gale came back, tells him he’s needed to clean up a chemical spill. This is it, Walt knows now.

Mike is there, preparing to do the deed. But suddenly, Walt goes into full begging mode, offering up Jesse’s life for his own. As Mike ponders his next move, Walt calls Jesse, who’s at Gale’s apartment. He tells him to kill Gale. Mike dispatches Victor to try and stop Jesse, but since Jesse’s already there and has a gun on Gale, it would appear to be too late. But it also appears that someone (or something) else is in the apartment as well, as Jesse trains his gun on that someone/something else, firing the gun as the scene smashes to black.
