The fact that they are murderers alerts the audience that those two will do anything for a fix, meaning Jessie has his hands fulls.

The audience is shown just how strong meth addiction is, and makes us think twice about the world that Jessie and Walter contribute to.

The Story so Far 2
Walter and Jessie have created a product that will send them to the top, their special brand of meth, which later become known as Blue Sky (I doubt that is copyrighted). During the drop off of the first batch of Blue Sky Tuoco kills one of his two bodyguards in a meth fueled rage. Tuoco instructs his other bodyguard to hide the body- unbeknownst to Tuoco his other bodyguard becomes pinned under a pile of cars and bleeds to death- after his killing of his friend Tuoco becomes increasingly paranoid. He ends up kidnapping Jessie and Walter and taking them out in the middle of nowhere to a run down stucco cottage. During this period, Walters family became very worried and put up wanted signs all over town, and Hank (Walters brother-in-law) goes searching for him. Our two meth cooks wind up in front of a guy in a wheelchair who uses a bell to communicate, I assume he had a stroke which left him unable to speak (I really hate that bell). They are perplexed as I am as to who this guy is (Later on, I found out that I was right to assume that he was a high ranking member of the drug cartel) and wondering what they are doing there. Tuoco informs them that he has cousins coming up from Mexico to pick them up and bring them back to Mexico in order for them to cook undisturbed by the authorities. Walter and Jessie decide that they can not go along with that plan, so they think of a way to escape. Their salvation may lay in the ricin that Walter concocted before they were kidnapped as a way to kill Tuoco because he was becoming to unpredictable. This plan fails because they are unable to get him to ingest it, so Jessie hits Tuoco in the head with a rock when he is distracted then he garbs Tuocos guns. Tuoco is then shot in the side by Jessie and left in a ditch to die. Just before Walt and Jessie can make their escape, a Jeep Grand Cherokee owned by Hank pulls up to the house. As Hank exits the vehicle he encounters a wounded Tuoco, and a shootout between the two commences. Ultimately Hank gets a shot to hit Tuoco in the head while he was reloading, ending the fire fight. Hank and Jessie escape the scene on foot since they wouldn't be able to provide a reason to Hank as to why they were their without making themselves look extremely suspicious. Walter then proceeds to catch a ride on a truck of workers, and ends up nude in a convenience store to convince his friends and family that he was in a fugue state. That plan backfires like no other because it is the start of his wife becoming suspicious and eventually hating him. On the drug side of the story, the meth market is barren because of Tuocos death, Walter and Jessie attempt to fill the void.
