I don't want to survive, You don't want to survive, and I want I want little finger to end up on the throat, she further added.

Number one.

Dean Norris Breaking bad.

I'm the boss man.

Say Boss man, my boss man, I'm the Bars.

It was basically a foregone conclusion that Hank would die at the end of breaking bad.

So while his death in Aussie Mandi's was certainly emotional, it wasn't very shocking.

But how shocking would it have been.
