This was one of the most brilliant plot twists in tv history. I truly believed that Walt and Gus were the ones running the operation and never would have predicted that Hank was the mastermind behind everything.
She realized how badly it would look since she probably doubted where the money came from for the medical bills. Very well acted, you could see the disgust, anger, and sadness very well.
I came to hate everybody on this show except Walt and Jesse. The two criminals were the most lovable people. All the "good" people were aholes. Well, Skinny Pete and the other bumbler were ok. And I loved Tuco too. Probably something's wrong with me LOL
One of the biggest pieces of "evidence" against Hank that Walt omits is the fact that Hank killed Tuco. I seem to recall his colleagues finding it suspicious/strange that he was even there to confront Tuco in the first place. Would have been a pretty damning connection to include.
Actually it works betters that Walt doesn't. Since the DEA already knows about it, with Walt not bringing it up, it makes it seem like an independent event that confirms Walt's confession
If I were Walt, I wouldn't have mentioned that Hank killed Tuco, but I would have said the name. Something like, "early on, he had me make deliveries to a guy he said had connections to the cartel, I think his name was Tuco Salamanca. After some time, they had a falling out over something, I think it was business related, and Hank then moved on to working with a man named Gustavo Fring" - if a DEA agent were watching the tape, I think just the mention of Tuco would be ringing alarm bells in their head and allow them to connect the dots themselves. It also gives the impression that Walt was a lot more hands-off with the business side of things at the beginning.
@@scrossb Walter mentioned Hanks was working with Hector Salamanca so it is confusing that Hank killed Tuco. I mean you can add some lies but it's always best to keep it simple. Leave the theories to the FBI
@@LC.OneSketch Well Walter still mentioned the Twin Salamancas trying to kill Hank and then the partnership with Hector. So I mentioned a few eyebrows being raised unless they guessed the temporary alliance idea.
It's scary how realistic this story is. He's just the local high school teacher dying of cancer, who everybody likes and no one thinks is capable of any harm. Hank on the other hand had a series of mysterious promotions and lives quite comfortably, goes around with the tough guy charm, and gets in fistfights. Combined with not catching Walt and that money trail, Hank would be in prison if that video got out.
@@michaelzhang9806 he would be put under WP of some sort for sure, but he does openly admit to cooking meth and building a bomb, so, if everything in this video was taken at face value, he would definitely also end up in prison
@@kyreese1023 At the absolute most the judge may take leniency on him, believing that Walt had been manipulated into cooking for Hank and then threatened to make the bomb against his will, so he would get a couple years in a minimum security prison depending on the charges.
The way he was able to string this fiction together with factual history basically incriminated Hank with massive Circumstantial evidence. The writing on this show was superb!
no that's not really how things work in real life. Everything Walter says is a lie and lies seldom get past a good judiciary, or anyone with any brains for that matter.
Yes. Based on Hanks erratic behavior and obsession with the case. It's not a good look. I wonder if Walter had this all planned out, or if he took advantage of the circumstances and put the pieces together in the moment.
@@OmegaMouseWalt didn't really plan out anything. Think about it, he meets Jesse by chance, Saul connects him to Gus, he had no plan for after taking out Gus. His strength was just figuring his way out of the situation. This confession is probably his most brilliant
It’s quite amazing how well Walt’s lie could be passed on to Hank. Killing Tuco, surviving the tortoise bomb, kidnapping and restraining Jesse, and having the brothers try to kill him along with Walt’s video would’ve put Hank in a horrible place to give an explanation for.
Definitely a lengthy legal battle, but I don't think any of it would've held up. I think this was more of a threat to Hank and Marie's personal lives being changed cause of public perception, regardless of if they're found guilty or not.
@@MRGilD0 there is no evidence on walter either. so pretty much the court would decide his faith and hank is most likely not going to be believed if this tape is released. it makes more sense that he is the ring leader and not walter because people are going to ask "who is the ring leader then" if he says walter that aint gonna make sense.
It’s crazy how, even knowing the true situation, that confession made perfect sense. There are so few loopholes in it that if it actually was handed to the authorities, hank would’ve been arrested and all of the events of season 5 could’ve been avoided. But tbh I still think Jesse would’ve messed the whole situation up somehow still lol
@@Bruce_Peters it would of worked. The main problem is it's a serious crime on Waters end. However seeing how's he a dying man, witness protection would work well.
I truly shed a tear when Walter Hartwell White said “Well, I’ve broke the bad in my el camino. I better call Saul.” Truly one of the moments in cinematic history of all time.
I like the little touches, like his voice breaking slightly when he said he was "weak", or the hesitation about the correctness of the term "hit". He really sells the idea of him being a victim, completely out of his depth, in all of this. If you hadn't seen the show up to that point, you'd believe him completely.
this was strangely satisfying watching Walt pull a reverse uno on Hank and Marie. they were underestimating Walt so much it was idiotic. he managed to evade Hank for a long time yet they talked to him not only like if they were morally better than him but also like if he’s a criminal hank can easily capture. if they were as careful and smarter as they think they were then they should have been convinced by the dvd that Walt was not someone to take lightly and must be very careful instead they just dismissed it as a threat
at the end of the day....it was simply a threat. Hence why hank pulls out his cards with jesse....which is smart as that is a witness to practically every major crime walt has done
@@darthuchiha1418 because of jack, wouldnt you agree? neither walt or hank expected jack to insist on showing up anyways to a conflict he had no true stake in
@@javieremoya yea you’re right but still you have to admit hank also died because he underestimated walt’s intelligence and desperation and if jesse didn’t jump to conclusion in the mall his imprisonment and hank’s death could have been avoided
The thing I love about this scene is that it is a huge moment in the show, but it is so still. No music, no sound except for Walt's voice, very little camera movement; the writers have spent seasons building the characters and all their work has led to this moment. Rather than showing us how important this moment is, we are doing the work with our knowledge of character. Fabulous stuff!
Yeah, sometimes I don't like when movies and videogames romanticize key moments with dramatic camera angles and change of music to manipulate the viewer into feeling a certain way.
The whole of S5 was a huge payoff. They had four seasons of amazing setup, characters, plotlines, all they had to do was use them well. And they used better than anyone would have thought.
I like how he slips in bits of truth to explain to hank why he did certain things even while putting it all off on him. Crazy good writing and character development on that show
not really. I have had people say lies about me and they have been believed by some people. But I have never found them "terrifying" or "amazing", or whatever, because I know they're false and can demonstrate that to any of the people who believe them, but they never have asked me directly. It's that simple, and I find that quite empowering, knowing how stupid people can be.
Even if Hank managed to gather sufficient evidence to arrest and charge Walt, it would have been the kiss of death to Hank's career. Imagine how his supervisors at DEA would have reacted when he announced that he had FINALLY caught Heisenberg after several years. And guess what? IT IS MY Ph.D Chemist brother-in-law! Hank realized that. He could never have brought Walt in alive. He would have been trashed. Everyone in that office would be under suspicion. The entire DEA would be under scrutiny. Burying the case would have been the logical course.
I think that's why when Walt was working for Gustavo and Gustavo wanted to kill him. Jesse tried telling him to go to the police and testify in exchange for witnesses protection. Walt wouldn't do it because he knew it would be the downfall for Hank.
In the series, Hank already accepted that turning in Walt as Heisenberg would end his career. The only reason he didn’t turn Walt in earlier was because he didn’t have sufficient proof and wanted to make sure Walt couldn’t squirm his way out of being caught like so many other times before. Burying the case would be the “logical option” if all he cared about was his career. What he really wanted was to put away the man who had caused so much harm and lied to his family. Hank accepted this would be the end of his career, and that’s worth it to him because he puts justice over his career
When Walter said he wasn’t well at the time and Hank knew it but still took advantage of him, he’s actually inadvertently describing exactly what he did to Jesse, he saw a junkie with nothing but the tools of the trade so he used him to climb the ladder
Some might disagree, but I think Walter's tape was his way of explaining to Hank all of the things he had done while keeping himself safe, cause there's no way Hank would've actually turned that tape in. Hank was pissed and Walt knew that, he knew Hank wouldn't listen to anything he had to say that didn't have anything to do with turning himself in, so this was the perfect way to do it. Disguise his confession as an allegation so Hank wouldn't share it. Absolutely genius.
Ironically, in the episode called “Confessions”, the only two characters who really confessed the truth were characters that always had been perceived by everyone as liars: Marie Schrader and Saul Goodman.
@@STK_Itsuka Marie confesses she used Walt's drug money (she thought it was gambling money which that Skylar thought up of) to treat Hank after the Cousins' attempt on his life (their insurance wouldn't cover the treatment Marie knew would allow Hank to walk again). Saul confessed to taking the Ricin cigarette from Jesse on Walt's orders so Walt could then frame Gus for Brock's poisoning and also plant a fake ricin cig in Jesse's roomba as a secondary plan.
People say nobody is gonna believe Walt that a DEA agent is actually a meth kingpin. But it's just as believable as a high school chemistry teacher being one
more believable sinec a DEA agent would have been able to make connections while there's it'd be way harder for a random teacher to get in contact with kingpins
The amount of evidence Walt could muster against Hank: 1+ (the medical bills) The amount of evidence Hank could muster against Walt: 0 Even though what Walt was saying was a lie, the evidence presented is not to Hank's favor.
@@sethlangston181 na, you're confusing "evidence" with just stuff being said. Walter's just saying a bunch of lies that would fall apart under serious scrutiny.
@@JadeiteMcSwag also somehow he has killed tuco when he was even supposed to be in job, he was also obsessed with blue meth and how would he doesn't know that his brother in law is Heisenberg? Hank was suspicious
It's actually super cool how Walter is not only covering his tracks and making him essentially invincible to Hank, but he ALSO is using this tape to justify his actions to Hank. All of these events DID occur, and he's telling the story from his point of view. He talks about how he was tempted by the money, says he's 'weak,' describes how he wants to provide for his family after all this. All of the things he's expressing in this tape are what he actually thinks, but under a cover that makes Hank seem like the culprit. It's masterfully made by Walter, but Walter is not an actor. His voice when he says he was 'weak' was how he actually felt. There's lots of these small mannerisms that are completely in tune with his character, but the names are flipped and events are turned over.
I just realized how well this followed the whole “making a story” thing that Skylar and Walt were doing throughout the previous seasons. This is where Walt fully mastered it
I knew it, I knew Hank was behind this all along. He and Gus had a fall out, so Gus was gonna seperate the business by using his back up chemist instead of Walt, Hank found out about this and made a hit on the chemist to make sure Gus doesn't get rid of him. On addition, he told on Gus to the DEA, then plot the bomb murder on Gus so no one could trace back to him. Such a mastermind.
I remembered seeing this live and I seriously couldn't stop laughing. How Walt told so many lies while also incorporating the truth too. And the shocked looks on Hank and Marie's faces told the story. This entire scene sums up why Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever on TV.
once the truth got out about everything this would be a chilling video to study for psychologists. staring into the eyes of a true and pure liar and manipulator. 2:07 is especially creepy if you view it like that.
My god, even after watching the show and know that Walt is 100% guilty and at fault, the fact that the confession convinced me that Hank could go down for this, bravo to Bryan Cranston for his Performance, really selling the story
Even Hank should have known this will never hold up in court.. theres alibis all over for hank, it is near impossible for Hank to do what walt says. But it would still end his DEA career.
What allibis? Until this moment, Heisenberg is pretty a ghost to the dea. There is no clear indication of his envolvment in any event, except of his meth. If they don't know at which event heisenberg has shown up, how can they use allibis?
Hank since the beginning was guy to go about blue meth. He spent months leading team and only care about this particular case. Didn’t go to Mexico just to finish what he started, and yet didn’t knew it was his brother in law. This would be very hard to defend for him. And proving truth would be very painful BCs of how big failure it was for him.
Show that video to a jury, they would see a desperate, sick and frightened man manipulated by his crooked DEA brother in law. It falls outside of hearsay rules, therefore the prosecutor can use it on the grounds that the individual who recorded it is deceased.
Imagine that was a real plot twist. Followed by flashbacks for all the major key moments in the series: Walt recruting Jessy. *Seeing Hank looking from the window* "Say my name scene" *Hank sitting in the car, smoking a cigar* XD
What's really impressive are things such as him admitting he built the bomb. He knew the forensics would uncover him as the maker of the bomb. So in a brilliant move, he admits to making it while pushing the blame on Hank.
I love that Marie doesn’t buy it for a second lol, her face the entire time is horrified and you think she might actually believe Hank only for her to totally subvert my expectations and immediately lets him know they’re on the same team
It’s interesting because in this moment, while Hank is listening to this whole thing, he’s also probably piecing together Walt’s timeline on when this started, to the Twins hit, and to Gus’ death, and how everything went down. Walt left enough truth kernels in this to give Hank a good idea on where Walt fits into the blue meth saga and what he’s been doing, and probably kicking himself for inadvertently helping him along the way
I love the part where he says, "If anyone who has witnessed my suffering noticed that I was breaking bad, that was Hank. Hank was breaking me, badly." And then he breaks down in tears.
@@lucasgillon8964 yeah I can see why you would think that,but that doesn’t mean she’s a good person,she’s basically a Karen,who steals and uses her husband’s position of power to get away with things normally she would get arrested for,there are some other minor things that make her a bad person but they’re minor,all of the cast are bad people.
@Mr. Brenman21 umm theft is not legal in California,what’re you on about,and you’re missing the point,Ik that Walter is the greater evil,but at the end of the day greater evil or lesser evil,is still evil.
The one true thing Walt says here is “But im a coward.” Walt’s ego and lack of self worth is the reason why he wanted to become a drug lord in the first place, and what drove him to tell so many lies and manipulate everyone around him. To fuel his cowardly ego.
This freaking show. Broke the mold after this. Just can't imagine getting better. Every episode but one (arguably) fit in place somewhere, somehow. Just brilliant.
Jesus, Walts fictional account mixed with facts fits together so perfectly that by the end of the video even Hank was probably convinced he had been running it all along.
One problem in Walt's confession. Why would Hank need Walt to pay his $177k medical bill if Hank was the mastermind. Hank would have the money himself if that were true.
to make it look like he's an innocent DEA Agent and not someone with a lot of Drug money so he had walt do it so walt could take the heat for it if he got caught. Its actually a genius move by him
This was one of the most brilliant plot twists in tv history. I truly believed that Walt and Gus were the ones running the operation and never would have predicted that Hank was the mastermind behind everything.

Imagine how his supervisors at DEA would have reacted when he announced that he had FINALLY caught Heisenberg after several years. And guess what? IT IS MY Ph.D Chemist brother-in-law!
Hank realized that. He could never have brought Walt in alive. He would have been trashed. Everyone in that office would be under suspicion. The entire DEA would be under scrutiny.
Burying the case would have been the logical course.
I think that's why when Walt was working for Gustavo and Gustavo wanted to kill him. Jesse tried telling him to go to the police and testify in exchange for witnesses protection. Walt wouldn't do it because he knew it would be the downfall for Hank.
In the series, Hank already accepted that turning in Walt as Heisenberg would end his career. The only reason he didn’t turn Walt in earlier was because he didn’t have sufficient proof and wanted to make sure Walt couldn’t squirm his way out of being caught like so many other times before.
Burying the case would be the “logical option” if all he cared about was his career. What he really wanted was to put away the man who had caused so much harm and lied to his family. Hank accepted this would be the end of his career, and that’s worth it to him because he puts justice over his career
@@bobbyferg9173 That's why he died as ASAC Schraeder.
I bet there's dozens of scenarios where they did exactly that .
@@bobbyferg9173 you mean so much harm to the people that his job is to fight against? lol
The real problem was, Hank did not have any proof to disprove all this bs.
Yeah in fact the proof was against him when he paid those Medical Bills lol
If there's no proof, why you callin it bullshit?
When Walter said he wasn’t well at the time and Hank knew it but still took advantage of him, he’s actually inadvertently describing exactly what he did to Jesse, he saw a junkie with nothing but the tools of the trade so he used him to climb the ladder
And killed to gus henchmen to save jessie which started all the trouble
In short, the healthcare industry in this country is what ultimately led to these series of unfortunate events.
I'd endure that. Would you trade place with me and come to Iran ?
U mean the best healthcare in the world by far. Trust me u don’t want crappy public funded healthcare
The problem isn't the healthcare system as much as it is the fact that meth is illegal in the first place
@@em4945 it's not the best healthcare if you can't afford it, it's no healthcare at all. I'd take crappy public healthcare over none at all.
@@em4945 are you actually serious ?
Some might disagree, but I think Walter's tape was his way of explaining to Hank all of the things he had done while keeping himself safe, cause there's no way Hank would've actually turned that tape in. Hank was pissed and Walt knew that, he knew Hank wouldn't listen to anything he had to say that didn't have anything to do with turning himself in, so this was the perfect way to do it. Disguise his confession as an allegation so Hank wouldn't share it. Absolutely genius.
Then they sent Hank to Alcatraz, or, as it would be later called "The Mineral"
Should have more likes I’m sure this joke flew over 90% of peoples heads
"Welcome to the Mineral, gentlemen" - Patrick Mason
Underrated joke
This comment is a hidden jem.
They put him under the jail
Ironically, in the episode called “Confessions”, the only two characters who really confessed the truth were characters that always had been perceived by everyone as liars: Marie Schrader and Saul Goodman.
What?
@@STK_Itsuka Marie confesses she used Walt's drug money (she thought it was gambling money which that Skylar thought up of) to treat Hank after the Cousins' attempt on his life (their insurance wouldn't cover the treatment Marie knew would allow Hank to walk again). Saul confessed to taking the Ricin cigarette from Jesse on Walt's orders so Walt could then frame Gus for Brock's poisoning and also plant a fake ricin cig in Jesse's roomba as a secondary plan.
wait how did he know
@@Zreen001 both these characters were also present in Saul Gone as well
People say nobody is gonna believe Walt that a DEA agent is actually a meth kingpin. But it's just as believable as a high school chemistry teacher being one
more believable sinec a DEA agent would have been able to make connections while there's it'd be way harder for a random teacher to get in contact with kingpins
The amount of evidence Walt could muster against Hank: 1+ (the medical bills)
The amount of evidence Hank could muster against Walt: 0
Even though what Walt was saying was a lie, the evidence presented is not to Hank's favor.
@@sethlangston181 na, you're confusing "evidence" with just stuff being said. Walter's just saying a bunch of lies that would fall apart under serious scrutiny.
@@JadeiteMcSwag also somehow he has killed tuco when he was even supposed to be in job, he was also obsessed with blue meth and how would he doesn't know that his brother in law is Heisenberg? Hank was suspicious
They actually draft meth cooks straight from school.
This is the moment he realized he was hunting himself.
Hank makin the same face as when Marie brought him Fritos instead of Cheetos
LOL!
Jesus Christ Marie!
It's actually super cool how Walter is not only covering his tracks and making him essentially invincible to Hank, but he ALSO is using this tape to justify his actions to Hank. All of these events DID occur, and he's telling the story from his point of view. He talks about how he was tempted by the money, says he's 'weak,' describes how he wants to provide for his family after all this.
All of the things he's expressing in this tape are what he actually thinks, but under a cover that makes Hank seem like the culprit. It's masterfully made by Walter, but Walter is not an actor. His voice when he says he was 'weak' was how he actually felt. There's lots of these small mannerisms that are completely in tune with his character, but the names are flipped and events are turned over.
I don't walt think he's weak
@@leonconnelly5303 at that point (at the start of the series) he definitely felt like he was weak
I just realized how well this followed the whole “making a story” thing that Skylar and Walt were doing throughout the previous seasons. This is where Walt fully mastered it
The prefect deceptions are always more believable when they're mixed with truths.
Fact.
This was the exact moment that Hank no longer felt like the pretty little princess that his mom always told him he could be.
Walt: “I wanted to go to the police……….but Hank IS THE POLICE!” 😂😂
I wanted to go to Hank... to report Hank
This is the moment Hank became sussy baka Heisenberg
A what?
This comment is too new for everyone else, we are here for the show not memes, wrong show guy. Wrong show.
@@Esk8WI that is pretty sus
@@Esk8WI idk man seems kinda sussy if you ask me
Bakaberg
I knew it, I knew Hank was behind this all along. He and Gus had a fall out, so Gus was gonna seperate the business by using his back up chemist instead of Walt, Hank found out about this and made a hit on the chemist to make sure Gus doesn't get rid of him. On addition, he told on Gus to the DEA, then plot the bomb murder on Gus so no one could trace back to him. Such a mastermind.
That poor man, being manipulated by the evil cop.
I remembered seeing this live and I seriously couldn't stop laughing. How Walt told so many lies while also incorporating the truth too. And the shocked looks on Hank and Marie's faces told the story. This entire scene sums up why Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever on TV.
Does anyone remember when the only result of searching for this scene would be parodies? I half suspected this one would turn into that as well lol
Same lmao
I can’t even find them anymore now
It's not meth Walt! It's minerals,jesus!
Jesus is not on RUclips, he wont read your comment
@@lecramred4453 but Mohammad is! MASHALLAH
Hank: So that bag WAS full of cash...
once the truth got out about everything this would be a chilling video to study for psychologists. staring into the eyes of a true and pure liar and manipulator. 2:07 is especially creepy if you view it like that.
My god, even after watching the show and know that Walt is 100% guilty and at fault, the fact that the confession convinced me that Hank could go down for this, bravo to Bryan Cranston for his Performance, really selling the story
If this story had ever gotten out, it would've made perfect sense to pretty much everyone.
The writing on this show was brilliant.
Even Hank should have known this will never hold up in court.. theres alibis all over for hank, it is near impossible for Hank to do what walt says. But it would still end his DEA career.
Because walt could discredit Hanks alibis with saying it was one of his men that were now dead by his order
I believe that it holds better then "i spend a year looking for heisenberg and i didnt realised it was my brother in law until it was to late".
why would it not? the very fact that they were brother in laws make it very hard to disprove their association.
What allibis? Until this moment, Heisenberg is pretty a ghost to the dea. There is no clear indication of his envolvment in any event, except of his meth. If they don't know at which event heisenberg has shown up, how can they use allibis?
Hank since the beginning was guy to go about blue meth. He spent months leading team and only care about this particular case. Didn’t go to Mexico just to finish what he started, and yet didn’t knew it was his brother in law. This would be very hard to defend for him. And proving truth would be very painful BCs of how big failure it was for him.
1:36 Marie is 6’4” and Hank is 5’8” lmao
😂
Making fun of another man's height. For shaame.
And?
This is the moment where Minerals became Rocks.
Wow I can't believe Hank was behind everything the whole time. And Marie was probably his accomplice.
She was laundering his money
@@seanspindleshanks2529 All to buy rocks…sorry, minerals.
Based on all the occurrences presented, the story seems legit.
Show that video to a jury, they would see a desperate, sick and frightened man manipulated by his crooked DEA brother in law. It falls outside of hearsay rules, therefore the prosecutor can use it on the grounds that the individual who recorded it is deceased.
when you wonder how incredible the writing is in breaking bad, you re-watch scenes like this
After watching this scene, I remember thinking "Damn, Walt is gonna get away with it after all". Great writing. Best show ever.
I don't think my jaw ever dropped any harder in the entire show than it did during this scene.
Hank after watching the tape: "Wow... I cannot believe it was me the whole time."
it kinda remines mean an episode of spongebob where patrick gets arrested and says "i cannot believe it was me the whole time" 🤣
What a tremendous cast and creation. Hands down the best series of modern times.
This is such a death note moment.
I can’t believe Hank Schrader was the Albuquerque Harbor Heisenberg
I like to think that Marie is on the verge of tears while watching Walter's "confession" because she actually believes what he's saying. 😂
Imagine that was a real plot twist. Followed by flashbacks for all the major key moments in the series:
Walt recruting Jessy.
*Seeing Hank looking from the window*
"Say my name scene"
*Hank sitting in the car, smoking a cigar*
XD
I could totally see a sketch edited that way
You never knew it Walt, but I was there the whole time...
Even Hank is shocked at his own crime
Hank is so loathsome. He even tried to deny it! Hell, he dies without ever correcting the truth. Sickening!
What's really impressive are things such as him admitting he built the bomb. He knew the forensics would uncover him as the maker of the bomb. So in a brilliant move, he admits to making it while pushing the blame on Hank.
I can't believe Hank is Breaking Bad, I'm in tears rn.
This is the moment Hank realised he never would have made it as a Varsity Athlete
I love that Marie doesn’t buy it for a second lol, her face the entire time is horrified and you think she might actually believe Hank only for her to totally subvert my expectations and immediately lets him know they’re on the same team
It would be interesting to see an alternative universe where Hank is actually the one behind everything
truee
Lol, the only time Walt told a convincing lie.
This series was well written and the acting was on point.
Walt just revised the show's premise and storyline to a show that would have good, too. The one we got was just better.
It’s interesting because in this moment, while Hank is listening to this whole thing, he’s also probably piecing together Walt’s timeline on when this started, to the Twins hit, and to Gus’ death, and how everything went down. Walt left enough truth kernels in this to give Hank a good idea on where Walt fits into the blue meth saga and what he’s been doing, and probably kicking himself for inadvertently helping him along the way
I love the part where he says, "If anyone who has witnessed my suffering noticed that I was breaking bad, that was Hank. Hank was breaking me, badly." And then he breaks down in tears.
I love how he mixes in lies with the truth
Hank also ran all the car washes and chicken joints. Busy man old Hank.
That is what I loved about BB. Didn't see this coming at all.
This is the exact moment when Hank listened to a fake confession made by Walt
Marie taking the moral high ground in this season was hysterical lol
she.... is morally better than Walt?
@@lucasgillon8964 yeah I can see why you would think that,but that doesn’t mean she’s a good person,she’s basically a Karen,who steals and uses her husband’s position of power to get away with things normally she would get arrested for,there are some other minor things that make her a bad person but they’re minor,all of the cast are bad people.
@@sneakslolll9264 stealing a bit of jewelry means you aren’t much better than a murderer drug dealer, got it
@Mr. Brenman21 umm theft is not legal in California,what’re you on about,and you’re missing the point,Ik that Walter is the greater evil,but at the end of the day greater evil or lesser evil,is still evil.
@Mr. Brenman21 you’re entitled to your opinion.
Walt is literally the devil. Twisting every reality. Exploiting every weakness. No mercy
The one true thing Walt says here is “But im a coward.” Walt’s ego and lack of self worth is the reason why he wanted to become a drug lord in the first place, and what drove him to tell so many lies and manipulate everyone around him. To fuel his cowardly ego.
this is the moment when i read that this is the moment when hank became Heisenberg for 1000th jubilar time.
This is the moment Walt Jr. became Flynn
Marie is really impressed she would never ever come up with story like that even she was pretty good with laying
This freaking show. Broke the mold after this. Just can't imagine getting better. Every episode but one (arguably) fit in place somewhere, somehow. Just brilliant.
This is why Breaking Bad is such a good series that can never be repeated
this is the moment we admire Marie from behind
Wtf she is taller than Hank i just realized
Jesus, Walts fictional account mixed with facts fits together so perfectly that by the end of the video even Hank was probably convinced he had been running it all along.
Hank then leaves Walt a DVD. He places it in a DVD player, but is left mouth agape as he watches Hank let the fly into the Meth Lab.
Oh my god, I can’t believe Hank was the breaking bad all along
Funny thing is, if this was the actual plot of the TV show it would still be good 🤣
in an alternate reality this confession is true
One problem in Walt's confession. Why would Hank need Walt to pay his $177k medical bill if Hank was the mastermind. Hank would have the money himself if that were true.
@@aissetousillah3283 brooooo . This show is brilliant
to make it look like he's an innocent DEA Agent and not someone with a lot of Drug money so he had walt do it so walt could take the heat for it if he got caught. Its actually a genius move by him
