Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Walter at the beginning of the show: I need $737,000 and then I’m out
Season 5 Walter:
LMFAOO
He's in the empire business
It was not about money anymore, since like 3 seasons ago 🤓.
He wants 700 million.
do you really want to live in a world without classic coke?
$137k in ONE cook. Even if they did a 3-day work week, they'd each make $26 million dollars a year. And Walt is complaining about it. Greed and ego are a very powerful thing.
He cooks for a year and then he would be done for good. I bet he was expecting 10x the money in just 6 months 😂😂
He thinks he can get same as Gus.
Gus networth was billions, he expected to be close to him, but Gus had 20 years in advance
One of the Maine reasons to hate walter white
@@jorgeluisolmosnarugeorge7799 *heisenberg
"You don't like paying 20% maybe you shouldn't have killed the guy." Mike's smartass comments throughout the show are gold.
Maybe Gus shouldn't have ordered those drug dealers to kill a child to bait Jesse, which is almost certainly what happened. Walt killed the dealers to protect Jesse, which put Walt on Gus's hit list.
p.s. I am no Walt defender. He was garbage and he got far better than he deserved in the end.
Gus's business success was also due to cartel connections. Yet he backstabbed them in the end .lol
Walt did in self defence. Mike was always wrong about this. Gus brought it upon himself and underestimated Walt.
@@robmarshall9026 also gus planned to replace walt with gale (then jesse), and kill him (just like werner to prevent witness). Gus fring is a sociopath and evil.
@@robmarshall9026exactly, first Gus wanted to kill Walt, and later he threatened his entire family. Walt should have exposed this truth to Mike
I love this scene because it’s when Walt realizes being the boss SUCKS.
Capitalists don't like sharing the profits.
@@MassEffectGER Breaking Bad is when capitalism
And walt was stupid to be unsatisfied when he should have known that as boss everything comes out of your pockets. Like by this point he should have understood why gus slit his own guy's neck. It's all risk put on yourself no one else.
@@MassEffectGER Maybe the profits shouldn't be shared with people that only show up after the work is done to get a share.
@@otherbrother3 For those guys there was nothing to be done. The alternative was them ratting out the entire operation. Maybe the dumbass cook Walter White should have thought about that before destroying the last operation.
crazy how jesse's personality evolves and he's prepared to sacrifice money, the thing he initially starts cooking for, just to keep the peace between finger and heisenberg
yeah sacrificing money becomes a tad bit easy when you've become a multi millionaire.
@@EvilSapphireR yet walt still can't, that's my point
Heisenburger
Finger?
@@yeezypete4853 Walt might not. But Jesse is no particular saint here. The guy just has more money than he has any idea how to spend at this point.

Walt is right, it's blackmail
It sucks but man you gotta pay the piper for silence 🤫
@@Ricky19821 Or just have them killed.
@@williamhenning4700 and that’s exactly what happened 😂, still just imagine where you did that work only to have to fork over money for silence 🤐
@@Ricky19821 Makes Walter more understandable. :P
Walt had a perfect situation. A clean, professional lab that was virtually untraceable, made about a million a month. No overhead. No extra costs. No dealing with extra danger, just had to show up, cook, and leave. Had he just did that and kept his head down he could have had everything without all this extra BS. But Walt had to be “the man” in everything he did and look what happened.
We gonna forget that Gus threatened Walt and his family?
@@joeder4713 only after he caused trouble
No, Gus was going to kill him and replace him with Gale.
Well, that made him "The Heisenberg" and by the look in his eyes while dying, I'm pretty sure Walt believed it was totally worth it.
well to be fair he gave it up to save jesse when he found out those two guys killed a child they had working for them
*destroys the entire infrastructure of the drug operation he was cooking for:* "I won."
*incurs costs for the infrastructure of an entirely new operation:* surprised heisenberg face
Gus was going to kill Walt and his family, so it's not like he could go back to the old operation
@@dislikebomb6680 So what? He should still understand you can't make an entirely new operation and make lots of money right away. His greed and ego cost him everything.
Those costs weren't required as was clearly proved by himself later on
@@Xer405 didn't you read? He was.going to kill his family.
@@spacemann1425 They're required if Mike is still alive but I guess Walt found a solution for that too.
Saul: Any regrets?
Walt: Yeah...wish I hadn't blown up that nursing home.
Saul: Ah, guilty conscience?
Walt: No. Legacy costs...
Lmao
I just spilled my coffee at work laughing from this, so thank you for that
@@habarvaz I will remove another bundle from the stack for cleaning fees.
tbf the nursing home thing didnt really mean much, it only killed the people walt wanted dead and no one else was injured
It is a retirement community !!!
1:13 The rare occasion where Walt thanks Jessie for something unironically.
I wanna believe that but in reality i reckon this was walter just buttering up some goodwill from Jesse to cash in at a later date. Ultimately its a 3 man operation so if he can get jesse on his side and not mikes he has more control.
@@misterkunnyfunt Good point
@@misterkunnyfuntwrong. He was not going to have someone else pay for him. His pride and ego would not allow someone else to pay his way. He had to try and prove he was the better man
He does it again at 3:46
Walter actually mostly treat jesse well in season 5, better than previous seasons ironically. jesse now got more experienced at cooking,and walter treats him with a bit more respect and tolerence for him. Though, walt is probably the most controlling he has ever been in this season, so it isnt that much good
I can relate to Mike here. This is how I feel when I try to explain to annoying randoms like Walt on gta heists why the host gets 40%.
Yo, it's good to see you man!
Yo im broke u got bogdan?
@@fluffuccine5385bro just run cayo solo. Pay off the sub with two trips. Rest is cold hard profit.
You bad. I always make 25% to everyone.

I like that part where Walt does the math real quick to see if they could just bring Gus back to life.
"how much would it cost to build a time machine to go back and fix this"
@@sobosswagner they can use Saul's time machine he made a lot money when Warren Buffett bought Berkshire Hathaway.....

“Just because you shot Jesse James… don’t make you Jesse James” add that to one of the thousands of awesome lines Mike has said throughout the universe.
Except Gus wasn't no Jesse James
@@spacemann1425 He means in the sense that just because Walt killed Gus it doesn't make him a genius businessman.
Also dangerous. You can see Walt thinking... OK, then how do I become Jesse James?
He's sayin just cause he killed gus dont make him gus
Mike giving advice as usual.
Just great non-verbal acting from Cranston. You can feel Walter's pain every time a stack is removed.
Ya, one would think after having 5 kids he would be used to not having any money. 😉

@@Faceplay2 it was a joke. Look up "Malcolm in the Middle". I've added an emoticon to make it more obvious.
@@Faceplay2 same actor played a father of a different family in a sitcom called Malcolm in the Middle. By the end of the show he had 5 children.
@@charlescox290 oh
2:50 So hilarious how Jesse looks away cos he knows Walt was gonna react
"He spent 20 years building his own distribution." This very important line by Mike shows how Gus, even pre-Better Call Saul, was doing everything slowly, step by step, with extreme caution. Walt here, on the other hand, wants to build his own empire in a couple of weeks and make millions per week. That kind of ego destroyed everything in the end.
If you watch a few episodes after this one, they became a well oiled machine with Walt, Todd, Lydia, Saul and Declan. Walt’s ego didn’t bring him down, it was Jessie finding out about Brock being poisoned.
@@stellarwind1946 I watched the whole series a couple of times, even when it was running. It is my favorite show of all time. I know what happens afterwards. I was talking about Walt's ego 'cause he could've stopped cooking way before all this. Even in this episode he was watching "Scarface" with such a thrill and awe. Skyler was the only one afraid. She saw Scarface's downfall as something that might happen to Walt, and it eventually did.
Kinda makes you wonder what Walt would have accomplished, even if he was the co-owner of that company with Schwartz. He very well still could be a loose cannon thirsty for power, and start running his mouth to take charge and be too ambitious and tank the profits down, and failing numerous goals.
@@gredangeo I think he would have lived his dream. Since Grey Matter is a legitimate business, I don't think he would have been that greedy and egotistical, but more like Walt we saw in Season 1's flashback when he worked with Gretchen. That's how I picture him in Grey Matter.
To be fair, he does have terminal cancer. Time wasn't really on his side
This is the moment when Walt realizes he doesn't like paying taxes
It's like that when 95% of people start making big money. They turn from Democrat helping to contribute to costs of running a civilized country to Republican mideset of me, mine, more
Walt: Taxation really is theft.
@@lawrencelampke6007 oh grow up already
@@lawrencelampke6007 good then. Democrats are incompetent children.
@@MrSpeeeeeder uhhh dude this is 100% true. If you could spend 1% of your income to avoid losing 30% of it would you? Morals go out the window when you see those greenbacks
Speaking of blackmail... there was a time when Walt basically blackmailed Jesse into cooking with him in the beginning.
Basically?
I was rewatching this episode yesterday. Honestly, the legacy costs really do suck, and I can understand Walt's frustration. If he would have partnered up with anyone other than Mike, he wouldn't have had to worry about this. The reason Mike decided to join Walt and Jesse was because he needed to ensure Gus's men were paid their hazard pay. That's something that Mike never told Walt until this scene. And Walt is right; they are paying for their silence.
Of course, Walt and Jesse are, unfortunately, implicated in all this. Gus's men will not only rat Mike, but Walt and Jesse, especially Dennis who saw them every time they showed to the laundry.
Comment of the thread.
Mike should’ve given his men a lump sum from his $5 million and ended it. His frequent bank transactions with his men is the reason why he got traced by the DEA.
@@ajye8935 yeah, true. At that point, I guess the reason that wasn't done was because of plot.
There's a very good reason you don't pay people to keep their silence in one lump sum, then there's nothing stopping them from going to the cops to make a deal except their honor and fear of retaliation. Paying regularly for as long as they don't talk is much safer. As for regular payments getting traced, well that's an operational failure. It's the basic risk that comes with being a criminal, something always gets you caught, it's the same reason why conspiracies rarely remain secret. It's not the crime, it's the coverup.
@@ajye8935 exactly why it doesn't make sense. If the police are watching Gus' men so closely, then there was no way the frequent bank transactions wouldn't go unnoticed.
I like Mike' sense of 'honor among criminals' but honor wouldn't do any good if he left the police a trail to follow him.
The size of Walter's ego in this scene compared to the pilot, unbelievable.
I don’t think it’s greedy. It’s quite a bit of money involved and I think you would be fooling yourself to think that it’s not normal to be questioning things. Personally I don’t think the amount of money Walter was keeping was enough to sustain the business.
If I were in walters position I would make the payment but add that the cuts have to be less next time or the business stops as it’s not worth while.
@@jeremyj5932 How is clearing nearly $150,000 per cook not enough to "sustain the business"?
Because think about how much risk there is for that 150k. In Walt's mind he's worth 100M+ dollars or whatever Grey Matter was worth at the time, and he only lost out on that because of random circumstances. So that's the standard Walt is measuring his ego and effort against. At a 150k per cook there are so many people between Walt and the end user that could flip or crack at any moment and bring the whole house of cards down on them.
@@McGuirkGaming supposedly Gray Matter is worth 2B. So assuming he kept 10% of the share after the rounds of funding n all, that's 200M.
Yep coach gets it. Walk takes most of the risk and has the most important job. $150,000 is not enough. Simple.
"If you don't like ____, then maybe you shouldn't have killed the guy"
Pretty much the theme of the entire series
"If you don't like gay Chilean drug lords.... actually, that's the ONE situation when you maybe should have killed the guy. But that's it!"
Reminds me of season 1 when Jessie is talking about if he knows any distributors, “yeah I used to, until you KILLED him”
Mike said it once. They had a perfect deal with Gus. But Walter had heavy bagage with the Grey Matter deal. He had to be de boss he couldn’t let money go away not again in his life. It was his doom
I thought it was "are we sure we just can't kill badger?"
@@TheRonnie1986 in fairness, Gus had it out for Walt ever since he killed those two dealers. It’s not all Walt’s fault
I love how every time Walt tries to play hardball with Mike, Jesse jumps in and says just take it. Walt never knew the business outside of the cook. The guy that bakes the rolls has to pay the supplier of the raw materials, the transports and the middle men. Walt was obviously not an economics teacher
Exactly he was always just a producer with all the materials readily available to him for free at school
It wasn't the rest, it was just Mike's "legacy costs" where he drew the line and understandably wasn't happy with, that part wasn't economical in the least.
@@TheStrawberryCloud I mean the first thing he said was 20% for transportation!? How much did Gus pay!? so, not really. His BIGGEST objection was legacy costs sure, but he was just a chemist, not an economist/accountant. He had a flat fee right from the boss. He cooked, he got paid, he never had to consider or deal with any 3rd party costs
I love how the concept of paying former employees who are currently in jail is so alien to Walt that he can't understand it and so logical and obvious to Mike that he can't explain it. Walt so often makes problems for himself by thinking that he's above and too smart for the basic conventions of how criminals operate without ever really considering WHY they operate that way.
walt is only smart in chemistry and completely clueless in everything else
OMG, I just realized a HUGE part of Walt's problems, if not THE problem...he may be a genius at Chemistry and other academic studies, but he's stupid at LIFE! Everything from how he handled this scene, all the way back to how he just "sold out" his shares to his original company because he couldn't navigate 1) his own inferiority complex with his gf coming from money and 2) him selling his stake in his company to make the problem in #1 go away along with his inability to understand the business end of chemistry. Book smart, life stupid, and he never dealt with his narcissism and ego so they became so big they did him in. :(
Same ignorance killed combo when he thought they could just expand without consequences
@@UserUser-zc6fx I think it's the opposite. I don't think Gus would have done that specifically because the way Walt did it ensured someone turned on him. Gus was ruthless but he also understood the pragmatic reasons for buying someone's loyalty. Walt was egotistically offended by the hazard pay guys. It's a reoccurring theme in the show that Walt is less effective as a criminal specifically because his ego prevents him from working within the conventions of how criminals usually operate.
@@UserUser-zc6fx
Until your current employees hear how you treat ex employees and they know to turn state’s witness immediately because you kill people even when they keep their mouth shut.
Gotta love how Walt only decides to pay his share in order to avoid Jesse's help and boost his ego
What.. no.. jesse is their soft spot. Yes you can say that he is full of ego. But if walter does use jesse money to pay his share than that would even be more ego..
@@gb7586 no Walt paying his share boosts his ego because it makes him feel like he is being generous and going above and beyond.
I believe all of you gentlemen are varying degrees of correct.
Walt is both egotistical and cares for Jesse.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy
I'm going to correct this further.
He's egotistical and cares for Jesse... But he LOVES money.
All conflicting factors in his unpredictable behavior.
He did it to spite Mike and because he cares about Jesse
The way Walt says “Ohhh it’s what you do..!” gets me every time lol
Same lol
Same
Hahaha such a great line
2:47
Me too 😂😅 it’s so funny everytime
I love the scene RIGHT AFTER THIS where Jesse is ACTUALLY the one providing the proper perspective when he tells Walt, “yea, the amount of money we made was LESS than what we would’ve made with Fring but we’re NOW getting a BIGGER PIECE OF THE PIE. Owners; NOT employees.”
I always thought that was a subtly BRILLIANT moment.
And in this very scene, Jesse also pointed out the money on the table was for a single cook. When obviously they are going to be doing more. Walt was making plenty of money even if the cut was less than with Fring. Just another example of Walt's ego dooming him.
@@drygnfyre
Absolutely. Walt’s “pragmatism” kinda got the better of him AT TIMES since he was effectively working off a potentially shorter “time table” (y’know, from his cancer and all) so all he SAW at times was HOW MUCH MONEY he could EXTRACT within a SHORT TIMEFRAME (since, at the time, he was STILL OPERATING under the JUSTIFICATION of doing all this to try to leave behind as much MONEY as he could for his family when he passed, which we later learn was all a self-serving LIE he told himself to make himself FEEL BETTER about stroking his own ego).
Goddamn, BB was BRILLIANT. This show (along with The Wire) are so good, they ACTUALLY MAKE ME DEPRESSED in that I WORRY I will NEVER see anything quite this PERFECT grace the television screen EVER AGAIN.
It shows Jesse was starting to actually listen to all the advice people tried to give him
@@jaythomas468The funny thing is: If it was actually about the money, Mike saying he's paying off 9 guys in prison would be a godsend to Walt:
He could very reliably make a deal with Mike and Jesse, so they continue to make money off of their work and set aside a pile to hand over to Walt's family even after he passes away. Instead of trying to make a lot of money quickly before dying, he could make a deal that'd bring in cash for the foreseeable future for his family. Goodman would come up with a scheme to fork the money over without raising suspicion, I bet.
But that's not what this is about, it's about Walt building his empire to satisfy his own ego. The money he's getting is essentially meaningless to him outside of being the numkber put on the "scoreboard" so to speak.
@@jaythomas468The Sopranos belongs on that list too. I see a lot of Tony Soprano in Walter. Same ego, same justifications for their crimes, same manipulation disguised with superficial charm. They even have similar character arcs.
Even back then, when I heard the legacy cost, I said, “Yea, Walt’ll just have them killed.” Mike might have a hard shell, but he has a soft heart, logically if money is getting taken away to keep people quiet, it’ll just be cheaper to cut those threads loose with permanent silence, especially if you’re the new boss.
Yeah, but a lot of Mike's guys were able to take the fall and go to jail to keep the operation running
That’s extremely short sighted (just like Walt). If you kill those guys you are sending the message that you value profits over loyalty and that if anyone gets pinched they need to rat on you even faster to get protection from you
@@NeoCreo1word travels fast in the drug world so the story of a former teacher with nothing to lose who blew up his old boss with a pipe bomb would definitely shake some heads
Every time I get my paycheck and see the taxes that have been taken out of it, I think of this scene
Federal and state tax --''"What is this we???"
IRS : Its called " Legacy cost ".
So true
It's what you do.
Hahahahah omg yes. “The government is an ongoing expenditure; so you’d better get comfy with that” 🤣🤣
This is a good example of why Mike was so hard for Walt to deal with. Mike is smart and he knows what needs to be done and done well. He's not just some mindless muscle. He knows how the business of crime has to be done and he knows it better than Walt ever will. He's not someone that Walt can intimidate like Saul or manipulate like Jesse. He just tells Walt harsh truths and Walt can't handle them.
Mike was a total fool to think he could pay his guys off indefinitely. They knew Gus was dead so there was no reason to fear retribution.
@@stellarwind1946 Mike's men were a massively important part of the infrastructure though. He spent years vetting for a network of skilled, experienced and trustworthy people to use in operations.
Walt took the alternate route, which was to ruin the infrastructure of trust even further to the point that all he could hire were literal nazis that would go on to kill his brother in law and usurp his empire. I think Mike was very correct - retribution is cheap, but trust is far more valuable to maintain.
@@stellarwind1946 brain dead comment lol.
Mike screwed up at the end though.
@@TamNguyen811 how? The guy was left with a terrible card due to Walt’s complete incompetence
Such an underrated scene when Walter puts his hand on the cash and immediately knows how much it is. A major contrast to season one when he's handed a small wad of cash from Jesse and has no idea how much it is. Just goes to show how far deep into things he got
Or prolly cuz the cash is in straps instead of a random amount he was given
To think only a year and change earlier he was desperately calculating and came to the conclusion all he needed was 737K over 11 more cooks to get out and leave enough for Skyler and the Kids.
4:43 best line ever in a tv show
I just remember when he tells Skylar he was good at being a drug kingpin, he wasn't. This scene tells everything, Gus was ruthless but he understood you need to pay your employees well and he did. Took him years to develop his organization and most importantly a syndicate of people to trust. Walter burned it all to the ground in a few months.
No, it's just that the way that Gus and Mike did business and Walt did it are different. Mike wanted to pay his guys in prison. Walt simply eliminated the threat. Which shows that he's ready to do what's necessary.
@@spacemann1425 doing that also put Walt in league with Jacks Gang, who are way too ruthless and psychotic to be trusted in a partnership, as is later shown. Gus was very very careful about who he did business with and would not have made a mistake like that
I don't know what you are talking about. He was exceptionally good at it. He made millions.
@@jimmyrodriguez5670 and lost those millions to the same jackasses he hired
bravo walt
After finishing Better Call Saul you truly realize how deranged and egotistical Walt was in the show, makes him stand out more than any other character in the entire series
On my first watch I would have thought Walt didn't let Jesse pay for him because he cares about Jesse and his money but this time I just realize its because his ego doesn't accept charity
In part.
I'd say that he was also in competition with Mike in terms of serving a paternal role model for Jessie.
A competition that only he was aware of though that's pretty much in line with him as a character. See his relationship with Gretchen and Elliot for instance.
That said the reason I just stated could probably be characterised as his primary flaw still being his ego but I guess what I'm basically saying is that there's more nuance then simply it being a case of him disliking charity.
@@sekijokes451 Yes!! I totally agree it's very prevalent when Mike and Jesse say their last goodbye shaking hands and you see Walt staring at them through the window with bitter and anger in his eyes. Mike had Jesse's respect with realative ease compared to Walt and I think it reminds him of how Jr looks up to Hank compared to his own father.
That’s one of the best parts of the show. It makes us sympathize and root for Walt first, and only after watching a second time do you realize how absolutely deranged and evil he was
Go outside
Really shows how Walt is really the only crazed and irrational player in the show (outside of Tuco). Everybody is making calculated moves to further their organization, and you can usually see why everyone acts the way they do. But when you look at Walt, everything he does is to feed his insane ego.
After this scene Walt saw the errors of his ways and decided to slow and down play the game more patiently and cautiously. Over the next few years the trio continued to make good money and live good lives.
The alternate ending
1:55.... Walt's face when Mike's dividing the take...that's probably the saddest he looked through the whole show.
I distinctly remember a time when Walt firmly stated he only needed $737,000 to provide for his loved ones for the next 20 years and that he would call it quits after this……
Just look at what he’s become since then…….
I think had Gus never come into the picture, that might have happened.
@@nahor88 Nah its because Tuco got shot by hank
He also scolded Jesse for whining about pay despite the pay making him a multimillionaire. And now...
Walt got rich. The richer he got the greedier he got. The greedier he got the crazier he got.
Walt said it himself at one point: He’s in the empire business, not the drug business. Can’t build an empire with merely 800k ;)
"Ohhh, it's what you do!"
Cranston's delivery is perfect here
My favorite line from BB. Masterful delivery
This is the line where Walt became Heisenberg.
@@hawk66100 Nah brah- he became Heisenberg when he told the two tweakers outside of home depot to stay out of his territory.

Walter's delivery at 2:51 is just gold 😂
I love how after BCS, your ears perk up when you hear 'Goodman's cut', like it's YOUR cut, because he's your boy now. Before BCS it felt like a side character thing.
i feel bad for Mike for having to deal with Walter
After watching BCS, I feel even worse about everyone having to deal with Walt.
Walt didn't deserve to end Mike's life. He was too good, in every aspect, compared to him. Everything was "perfect", until Walter joined the business.
You mean Waltah?

Well Jonathan Bank’s beard in this scene was fake anyway.
He really tried to sneak in that "Legacy Cost" real quick.
"Since your puttin on the green eye shade" is the best dialogue line ever written!
Walter tried so hard to be Gus, his ego wouldn't let him believe that someone was better at the drug game than him
In the end no one was better at the drug game than him.
@@spacemann1425 Gus was objectively better than him
@@TDB2509 depends on what your criteria is but not really lol. By the end Walt's empire stretched from the West to Europe, bigger than Gus' and he built that and built a whole bed of money in much less time and way faster than Gus did. Only a few people knew about Gus Fring but Heisenberg's empire ran on his name, even after he stepped down. In the end he was the most renowned outlaw in the west for at the time, and definitely the most renowned speed kingpin of all. So, objectively speaking, he was better.
@@spacemann1425 He was renowned because he was stupid. Having his name out there isn't good lmao. Gus' business was worth more, made more money and more secure. Walt's business was smaller, more known and got compromised. Not to mention it didn't last anywhere near as long as Gus'
@@TDB2509 not sure you're talking objectivity here anymore, but anyway, having his name out there is what gave him the advantage that he got. It wasn't his name, it was a pseudonym. It was what gave his product and his business a stamp and a brand. Gus' "business" wasn't his business, for the most part it was the cartel's. Gus was just a worker for the cartel till he killed them. In which case his own "business" last for all of about a couple of days. But given the benefit of doubt, you could say that Gus' business was his own after he removed Bolsa from the way. In which case it didn't last very long either, just a few months and was limited to the southwest till the Cartel went after him. So Walt's own empire lasted longer than Gus'. If anything, Walt's product was a major building block of it and probably one of the reasons he was successful in ending the cartel.
Walt and Jesse calculated Gus to make over 90 mil in an year with Walt's product. Which he never did because he was gone before the year even ended. Walt, however, did make 80 mil much faster than that, with a much bigger empire.
Thank god Gus didn't use mules. Imagine going to a chicken place and they feed you fried donkey
Maybe it tastes good. Have you ever tried fried donkey?
Lmfao good one

Um actually 🤓 mules and donkeys are different and not the same! 🤓🤓🤓

It really is amazing how quickly Walt changed his tune as soon as Jessie offered to have the legacy cost come out of his share. Because that's the thing with narcissists like Walt, isn't it? Always got to look like the biggest person in the room, even if you know they're a hypocrite
🫡💯
I'm sure he was prepared before going in but you still gotta appreciate Mike's memory when in regards to accounting.
Walter is too greedy. This is the ultimate moment which shows his change of character and how his greed evolved - it’s not about his family or cancer - it’s about just making money.
I actually think his real problem is his ego. He had everything with Gus, made more money, and Gus had spent decades building relationships and supply chains that are stable. But Walt toppled it over because of his pride and because Gus threathened his family after he saved Jesse from those two drug dealers and they killed Gale etc...
@@kashay4415 actually when you really think about it
It was Jesse fault everything fell apart
Yeah yeah I get it having kids being part of this line of “work” is bad
But are you really going to challenge the drug lord on how he runs his business?
So with that Jesse goes and try’s to kill the other guys Walter saves Jesse and from then on everything starts to fall apart
If I left something forgive me I haven’t watched this series since 2014 haha
@@Zeroakafreddyiscool Jesse wanted to kill the drug dealers as revenge because he thought Gus poisoned Brock when BIG SPOILERS AHEAD
It was Walt who poisoned Brock with the Lily Of The Valley plant from his garden. Jesse thought he used the Ricin but Walt saved it for Lydia at the end.
Just. Make. Money.
It really was just his ego. He had an opportunity to get even richer from Grey Matter than he became as Heisenberg but squandered it because of his ego.
Walter White secretly misses Gus lol 😂
The way that Walt watches as the pile gets smaller and smaller 🤣🤣
2:51
“ohhhh….it’s what you do!”
Gets me every time.
I keep rewinding it. Makes me laugh so hard everytime. God damn BrBa and BCS are such good tv shows. Both are so good it’s crazy
Ive heard my friend whos in a normal business telling me something along the lines "When you've held a million dollars in your hands once or twice. Anything lesser feels like a few pennies or disposable income." Never understood how someone could say that so nonchalantly and watching this scene brought me to that understanding that damn. Walt casually spent or earn a million per month working under Gus and having touched such a large sum so easily made him blinded that 175k is actually a lot of money and could've actually helped him hide his laundering easier and spend his days risk free compared to what he became at the end.
easily?
@@r4ng3l56 easier. Is it easier to hide an elephant or a lion.
It's called a Hedonistic treadmill. I was happy when I earned 50,000 Dollars per year , Now I won't settle for anything less than a Million dollars.
he literally called 4 million dollars a few pennies.
he became so rich he feels poor with this amount.
lol that’s the thing, he never spent this money, he just accrued it endlessly until it ruined his life, but he wasn’t spending it, he wasn’t living lavishly, it wasn’t improving his quality of life. He chased is own greed and ego into his grave
After watching BCS, I feel even worse about everyone having to deal with Walt.
Except for Kim
Mike wasnt a good person
@s66s46 but he had standards and does drug deals with etiquette, Walt is literally common sense level 2 out of 100
The writing and acting in this scene is god tier
3:12 oh my I guess you better call the cops then
This is the moment Walter White owns the means of production and wants to maximise profit
Save us daddy Stalin
Nice
It's not who the money is allocated to that matters, only who counts the money.
Uncle Joe 🤯
*maximize
I like how the piles of money seem to be in whatever amounts that suit the number Mike says.
Finally someone else
They are bands of 5k stacked up, right?
Lots of numbers are divisible by 5.
@@tmclaug90 What about that 117000? And 18,000?
@@financeguy8788 rounding
@@doublestrokeroll Rounding? Infront of Walter? Someone who is already not very happy about distributing money? Especially when if instead of picking up the entire stack, if mike makes effort, he can pull out the exact amount from the pile.
I dont think so
P.S. If Mike WAS aiming to round here, he would have gone with "15K/20K per person for goodman" or 115K/120K per person for legacy money". Also, Mike isn't the type of guy to "round off". Always shown as a precise guy. Does t matter if its in his favour or not.
"Listen Walter, just because you shot Jesse James, don't make you Jesse James" Mike keeping it real
I felt Mike's rage here 3:43... I wanted to punch Walt in the face so bad you have no idea
Finger should've followed his own advice about Waltuh
POV: dividing up the bag of chips you brought to class
“Oooooohhhh…. *it’s what you do* “ is probably one of the funniest lines in the entire show
Mike knew if he told Walt about the "legacy cost", it would immediately get rejected. He hid this important fact, saying, "you don't know them but these are my guys". When money is involved honesty is important, and we see now, Mike isn't that honest after all.
Okay, but Mike as the oldest and wisest guy didn't really try to deescalate the situation, but continued to hurt Walt's big fragile ego.
He killed his boss, who he knew for years and was giving him money to secure a future for his granddaughter, brought attention to his granddaughter savings account and got it confiscated he was working with walt out of neccesity, basicaly all he worked for was destroyed
mike has as much ego as walt does tbh
@@liche414 I disagree, when Mike was working with Gus he was able to take orders from him and work cohesively with him, even though Mike was better than Gus at many things and Gus made far more money than him.
@@liche414 pedestrian comment
@@liche414 pediatrician comment
To be fair to Walt, Mike was really stubborn to push for the legacy costs without consulting Walter beforehand.
Ya i always thought that was a little weird. Mike acts like its not even worth a conversation.
That actually is a fair point
I agree, but you also have to consider that these 9 guys in prison were also not talking about Walter. Atleast some of them had to know pretty darning information about him too, but he just doesnt think its his problem.
Considering what Walt ended up orchestrating, Mike was right to try and take any alternative to paying them off the table.
Mikes guys cost, should come out of mikes share only imo. He didn’t exactly tell em beforehand, nor what their job was/is going to be, and shouldn’t be an ongoing cost. I’m sure mike would feel the same if all of a sudden on the next cook, Walt & Jesse had 9 guys each and didn’t bother to tell mike, and the cost was the same as mikes guys. Or that Walt & Jesse could make an extra batch and say to mike that he doesn’t get a cut of the extra batch, cuz “it’s just what Walt & Jesse felt like doing”, and find a 2nd buyer just for themselves. I understand mikes thinking (trying to protect them) but it’s mikes cost that he brought in without telln Walt & Jesse.
Mike sealed his fate in this scene.
Jesse narrowly winning the award for who has the most hair in this scene.
“Listen Walter, just because you shot Jesse James don’t make you Jesse James.” - Mike coming in with the harsh reality of the drug business.
Gus also killed his Jesse James which was Don Eladio. He was trying to be the next don. This was why his empire fell quickly after the death of cartel.
@@doraemon61377 His empire fell apart after he died though.
Walt was already plotting destruction in his mind against those people in prison. Honestly, I don't blame him. That legacy cost really did suck, especially when you're paying people essentially for the rest of your life. What else is there to do in that situation? Mike made it 10x worse with that provocative comment. He basically lined them up like a bunch of ducks for Walt. He should've just paid them off on his wallet in secret
This is the moment walt learned basic finances
love how walt is constantly looking at jesse to see if he agrees lmao
just as in legal businesses, anyone who hasnt ever been the boss wishes he could be, but anyone who has been the boss wishes he could just go back to being a middle man. i remember thinking myself "wow it'd be nice to earn 30% more than i do now". then i got that third promotion, and realized that it isnt even close to being worth 30%. if u go by hours most of the time i end up working for less money per hour than i made when i was just a peon. twice the salary but 4x the work.
“Ohhhhh its what you DoOoO” lol
Plus the way he said it seals it for me as one of my favorite lines on the show lmao
This was easily one of the reasons why he killed Mike, you can tell he wanted to right then and there but most definitely couldn't lol.
Well mike wanted to kill him for how walter ruined everything mike worked for years for so it was mutual
Agreed, as soon as the 'legacy costs' bombshell dropped you could see the look in Walter's face change to that or making Mike a dead man walking.
@@Hawthorne-Games especially after he dropped that bit at the end about it being ongoing and to get used to it. He can tell with Mike around he won't be the head of the operation. And he's "in the empire business". Love it.
Killed Mike because he needed him gone to take out the men in prison
POV: It's 2006 and you're asking your dad for a Nintendo Wii for Christmas: 2:24
This was the moment Walt knew that Mike has to go, one way or another.
The wild thing is $137,000 for one cook is still crazy money. But due to "principle" and ego, it's not enough for Walt.
Given the risk he's taking up I can understand why he's upset. It's easy for you to judge when it's not your life on the line
it's also not one cook. Because the next barrel of chemicals is gonna cost.. so call it 125k the next one and so forth, so he's losing even more money
@@patricklee4581 yes but the money Jesse fronted them was only going to come off of one cook and that was something like 110,000
Plus the upfront money to ira was only going to come off once so that was 40,000 to Jesse and 35,000 for their piece of the business so that's an extra 75,000 per cook they'd be left with, I doubt the methlamine costs more than that
@@JoeM-tx5pm 500ML $42.00 google pricing. Do you know how little 500 ML is?
@@patricklee4581 yeah but they're not paying Google pricing they'd be paying a set fee to Lydia for each barrel she stole and got to them.
Walter:spends 4 season trying to be the top dog
Walter when he is finally top dog:wait, what do you mean I have to spend basically all my earnings to make it function? Why am I earning less than when I just a cook
And then he made it so that he didn't have to.
@@spacemann1425 Which then led to him losing everything.
"My guys are an ongoing expenditure".
Yeah na, 2 minutes is all it took to take care of that financial outlay...
Lmao, that look he gives Walter at 3:23... he was about to make him get a new jaw 😂
"Just because you shot Jesse James ,don't make you Jesse James" - Mike 🔥
One of the very best series of all time. Mike Ehrmantraut definitely rocked.
Yeah probably rocking in the pits of hell rn 💀💀
No, he mineraled.
This scene is essentially what it’s like living in Canada with all the tax, inflation, gas prices, grocery prices, and housing costs.
inflation lmao, don't talk about it before you experience 130% inflation like we do
I like how Walt had no issue understanding what it cost & how vital it was to have the fake Heisenberg behind bars to save his goofy self. However, the legacy cost just doesn't compute.
3:21 Walt acted like mike couldn't have broken Walt's hand, torn all his fingers, AND taken away all his money without breaking a sweat.
A bit hard for Walt to cook if Mike had done that...
@@muhammadabdulloev4015 in a moment of impulse, yes
Walter would have spent the next few days planning to have Mike and probably his family killed too.
Mike is so overpowered and I hate it. He's really experienced and is very tactical with weapons, but his raw strength is overpowered.
@@yourfather4767 Mike's entire character is the definition of a deus ex machina. It makes it even more hilarious because he looks 90 years old and will drop dead from giving a line.
Walt was so busy trying to be smarter than everyone that he outsmarted himself by failing to see how easy the setup was before he clipped Ol Gus.
The irony of all of this is that Walter's instincts to cut all these people off, awful as it is was probably the smartest move. It was the payouts that got Hank so very close to busting him. Hell he even had the handcuffs on him...
Exactly, once they were all caught they weren't much of use.
Yes mike was just too caring for them. “His guys” so his problem. If he didnt want them killed fine, but the payouts should only come out of his cut. Simple as that
i still think mike is unfair, that he brought up legacy cost after they receive payment. like you marrying someone and after the reception, your new wife told you that she has 9 kids from prev marriage
This is the moment Mike, Saul and Jesse counted the money and had a conversation about how it is distributed.
yawn
Saul?
This is the exact moment Walter White bacame Saul Goodman
its master chief, bich, get it right
Such a deep analysis!
This is business waltuh
I love how Jesse was acting as the mediator here, he didn't want them to start fighting so he gave away his own money, but he still had enough self-preservation to make it apparent that it was just for the one cook
0:25 he took 20 years, don't know how this is impressive
Walt was already making more than Gus was when he started
Paying your bills be like
Its like looking at the paystub.
3:53
He made a really quick math that it was way cheaper to send the 9+ guys to Belize rather than paying a 100k per cook
Except that it required exposing them even more and upsetting the status quo. Not to mention he cause them to get put their in the first place, and that anyone involved going forward will know that they HAVE to snitch if they ever get arrested
These clips make me miss the shows even more.
Honestly they perfected this scene in terms of distribution in money.
Legacy cost and the look from Walter before he says Legacy cost is priceless haha
i love the way the way and how the way and the way the way. genius writing!
Now we know why Walt was kicked out of his friends company. He had no idea it’s takes money to make money.
That wasn’t the point of this scene.
Nah, his ego is too high
@@williamhenning4700 Than what was point of it?
@@studinthemaking It was about Mike tying up loose ends and trying to use Walter and Jesse to do it and Walter being all too aware.
@@williamhenning4700 the loose ends came about because walt killed gus, and he had to cut a deal with mike to prevent getting capped. it still comes back to walt in the end.
