"Nobody moves crystal in the South Valley but me, bitch!"

- Tuco Salamanca Tuco Salamanca is a drug kingpin operating for the Juarez Cartel in Albuquerque and part of a lineage of criminals in his family. His uncle was a drug runner before his disability and his cousins are hitmen for the cartel. Tuco is eventually eventuallly approached by Jesse Pinkman, who offers him some methamphetamine. Tuco loves the product but isn't satisfied about the price, but still offers Pinkman a bag of money. He then proceeds to pummel him to the ground with the bag and sends him to the hospital. Pinkman's associate, only known as Heisenberg confronts Tuco and gives him a bag of "meth". Heisenberg then throws the supposed meth and reveals that is is fuliminated mercury. Shocked but forced to cooperate, Tuco gives him his money and proceeds to make a deal, Heisenberg and Pinkman give Tuco meth and they get their money. But one deal reveals Tuco's crazier side, as he pummels one of his men to the ground after a brief misunderstanding. His safehouse is raided by the DEA but wasn't caught. Tuco takes Heisenberg and Pinkman to a safehouse in the desert where his uncle, Hector lives. Tuco plans to take them south of the border to cook meth and with his connections, would be untouchable. While in the safehouse, Tuco finds that Heisenberg's real name is Walter Hartwell White. Tuco then finds that one of his men, Gonzo, isn't answering his phone calls. Unbeknownst to him, Walter knows that Gonzo is dead after his DEA agent brother in law Hank Schrader sent him pictures of his corpse after finding it in a junkyard. The group sit down for a meal, but Walter puts a bit of ricin into Salamanca's meal. But with the intervention of Hector, Tuco's life is saved but in a rage, takes the two out and plans to execute them with his M4A1. In a skirmish with Jesse though, he is shot in the abdomen with his Jericho 941 pistol. He survives the gunshot, but Schrader arrives on the scene, looking for his missing brother. Recognizing Tuco's face, Schrader enters a firefight with Salamanca after he pulls out his gun and shoots him in the head with his Glock 22. Unknowingly, Walter was there and fleeing the crime scene. Later, Tuco's cousins would try to retaliate for their cousin's death by attempting to take Walter's life.
