One of the many many layers that built this masterpiece. Look into color theory and Breaking Bad, then rewatch just about any episode. It's not quite the same once you know the secret sauce, but it's still very fascinating.
Somewhere there, we all know it, deep down, Walter is happy to be aware of the fact that Hank knows he's Heisenberg. He wasn't the meek, mild mannered and nerdy Walter, he was the evil genius Heisenberg
@Mohamed Ibrahim He saw the offer of his old friend as pity, he hated being seen like that... It seems like you didn't get the psychology behind Walter's reactions.
Hesienberg was a punk really, they were empty words. Hank could have easily taken him out right there. Walt goes for the nuke options, lets see hanks nuke option
@@haaspaas2 The meth, the criminality, the killing, it was all a means to an end- to realise his real dream of washing cars. The fact he needed to make money for his family is just a lie he told himself. Breaking Bad is the story of a man with a deep seated, subconscious desire to own a carwash.
The subtle change in expression before he says "that's not going to happen" is chilling. It's like a different personality took over and Hank is visibly shaken by this change.
it wasn't a threat more of a warning ⚠️ he doesn't want to hurt Hank but if Hank gets more involved he's likely to get caught on the crossfire of "THE DANGER".
@@averagejoe9040 no, for example if I said "I might explode if you come near me" I'm warning you. Its not a threat because I do not want you to explode but a warning that if come near me you will be caught in the blast. It's a silly example but an example nonetheless.
Nah, 1:32's definitely Heisenberg too. Suddenly going from meekly saying "feel sorry for me, my cancer's back" to confidently "I'm going to tell you exactly how and why I've beaten you, and you're totally powerless to do anything". Plus "that's *not* going to happen". Amazing how he slips in and out.
@@jordyjohn2275 it’s not wannabe critic anything, it’s literally the entire point of the show lmao The point of any show is just character development, and character arc in Breaking Bad is all about how Walt slowly becomes a completely different person.
What's your problem? 😂 People can have opinions and analyze scenes if they want. You don't have to be a total ding dong to people just because you disagree.
The range of emotion showed in Dean Norris acting in this one scene is outstanding. He goes from pure anger to confusion to fear so in sync with Cranston going from his scared guy act to his Heisenberg face.
@@latinjeditrix The character he played was corny, and intentionally written that way at the beginning. I think Norris played it perfectly from day one.
The shift in Walt’s facial expressions when Hank tells him to have the kids brought over to the house, and then Hanks look of fear at seeing Heisenberg come out is phenomenal
Also the tone of his voice when he says “that’s not going to happen” It’s just like when Gus switches, the subtle face movements and change of voice. Incredible acting.
This really shows how much Walt has changed. If Walt threatened Hank's life in a serious manner during S1 he would've laughed at him, now he's terrified, because he doesn't know the person standing in front of him
I mean it also shows how much has happened in between that time that has directly affected Hank. He was traumatized, suspended, and damn near killed, all for chasing a ghost that was right under his nose the whole time. Remember that he went through months of evidence to empirically prove Walt’s involvement in the whole thing hoping that he was wrong, because he was still in disbelief over the whole thing.
Yes..... He just watched a man who's gonna be dead in a few months, Swear to God, even after being caught out. So yeah I'm sure Hank realizes - "This guy *is capable of anything,* and has plans for everything"
The part where Walt said “that’s my secret hank, I’m always cooking” then proceeded to morph into Heisenberg so he could break bad was simply breathtaking
Every time I watch breaking bad, I catch something I missed, some subtle easter egg or piece of symbolism I didn't catch on my previous viewings. For example, when Hank punches Walt, I realized it symbolises that he's angry with him. The producers are genius!
@@burney7998 It is a meme. It is taking the piss out of those who maybe go a bit over the top with their praise of Breaking Bad. It is just a bit of fun. (Breaking Bad is still a damn great show)
A lot of credit goes to the director of that episode, if you watch the table read and the other takes (on the 2h documentary of the final season) you can see Dean really needed direction to deliver this masterpiece. It's great, but it's not the first renditions by Dean. He's a great actor, don't get me wrong, but with another director we wouldn't have gotten this.
He certainly made me realize how important it is to know the difference between rocks and minerals. I kid. I wasn't a fan of him the first episode, but I grew to like this character very much. It was a huge blow to see him killed, but very powerful episode.
1:08 is my favorite line delivery in the whole series. You can see Hank is grasping for anything he can use to hurt Walter, but after he says it out loud, there is the faintest glimmer of doubt and disbelief at what just came out of his mouth. Until Walter 's next few lines, it's likely Hank still isn't 100% sure Walt is Heisenberg, and that tiny flash of "what if I'm wrong" shows true pain in his soul. He can't believe what he just said, and further he can't believe he was brought to a place where he would mean it.
You can see the hurt in Hank's eyes. Walt was someone he trusted, someone he viewed as very close family, like a brother, and to see Walt as the monster he is really destroys Hank. Phenomenal actor, Dean Norris, very underrated imo.
I don't think Hank really cared for Walt. He made fun of him & treated him like he was a loser. Actually Hank was the monster,he was a horrible person just a good cop.
@@evitathediva371how was hank a horrible person, he acts like a normal person. Sure he's a bit rude but that's how many people are and the way he acts shows he clearly loved Walter as a brother. He didn't treat him like a loser he acted like an older brother
My favorite scene is when he initially discovered Walt after the scene in the bathroom with the line from Gale "to my other WW". The face he made and how he was in utter shocked. The problem is that this series had so many good actors Norris just blended with them, but that doesn't make him any less good. He was absolutely excellent
@@evitathediva371 the way he responded when they find out he had an 80% reduction in cancer is all u need as evidence to know that he deeply cared for walt
2:15 I love when Hank tells Walt to bring Skyler and the kids to Hank’s house to talk about The HEISENBERG thing, Walt stops breathing heavily and acting innocent, he shifts from Walter White to Heisenberg, and he starts looking at Hank with a killer stare that even Hank was shocked that this was Walt right now.
@@epeo22 you do know if you’re not expecting a punch you’re more likely to get knocked out. Idk what world you’re living in where people don’t get knocked out in real life
id argue its the other way around, the "i AM the danger" scene being second to this one. its all the build up from the show with hank trying to catch heisenberg, only to find out his brother in law is the one
"tread lightly" It sounds like Walter went to the depths of hell to summon those two words to say to Hank. Greatest scene in television history. Unbelievable
@@youknow227 It's really true though. Mike and Hank and Gus and Uncle Jack think it's cool they can punch him in the face and steal his money, how did that work out for them?
Why does every single scene, no matter how trivial or important, gets praised with these sort of comments, caliming it to be "the greatest?" We can have Jr's breakfast scene, and some idiot would say how that's "vince Gilligan's magnum opus!"
I like when Hank pissed liquid minerals all over the floor and then Lyle Salamanca's microwave started beeping before Todd screamed and everyone died in a fiery explosion, except for Todd, who walked through the door with half his toes missing before collapsing on the floor
@@theblindvisionary Wish people would stop saying this. There is nothing that suggests that Hank is "terrified" of Walt. In fact he did everything he could to take him down. To say Hank was terrified is a complete and utter joke. Look how he behaved when Jack had a gun to his head. Hank scared of Walt. Not a frickin chance.
@@red2977 Hank showed a bit of fear along with like a dozen different emotions after Walt said "that is not going to happen". Hank realized he was not in control of the situation and was dealing with a very dangerous person.
@@galifan from you pov then thats not hank feeling "terrified" for himself but maybe more of "fear" of not knowing the person who you thought was a kind hearted normal man. Just imagine your loving wife killed so many people behind your back. The first emotion you feel isnt "terridied" of the person. You would be in disbelief
Guy who plays Hank, Dean Norris, his acting here is phenomenal. How his eyes shift from complete rage to horror, disbelief and sadness is simply amazing. He should’ve won an award.
@@Holynoelledex build is good for nameless king, but if you are not building dex just be super careful for phase 1 and only hit when you 100% know it is safe. Phase two is all about staying close and taking advantage of immunity frames from rolling.

@@epsilonadept7301 he always belittles Walt , saying comments on how walt cant handle a gun cos theyre for ‘real men’ and always adding pointless comments to try and make himself feel better .. he’s just a bully
The man himself is such a crazy perv and a goofball, so it really is a testament to how great his skill as an actor is... to be this serious and terrifying of a human being when he is Walt.
2:15 I think this beat is much more significant then the "tread lightly" at the end. Hank is completely accustom to Walt doing whatever he is told, or at the very least hemming and hawing before coming up with some of excuse to avoid doing what Hank wants. Here Walt changes his countenance, and directly refuses to obey or even debate the command.
Yep and you notice their expressions and the camera changes to match right at that moment. Camera is looking very close on Walt, and his expression is 'danger' while Hank is starting to look afraid, like he's realized hes not actually in control of anything. Its basically the first moment Walt's 'face' comes away and Hank is meeting Heisenberg. A complete exchange of power in the scene, and all from acting/words and camera angle. Such a good series!
I love how the way Hank talked he wasn't even mad at Walt for making meth or drug dealing in general, he was beyond angry at Walt for being a murderer and manipulator especially to his own family.
This scene is truly underrated. I would say it’s the peak moment of the show because hank finds out he’s been looking for this “Heisenberg” which turns out to be someone he loved and someone he trusted. “I don’t even know who I’m taking to”
It's interesting because at the beginning of the series he wasn't Heidelberg and couldn't kill anyone. Then he had to out of necessity and realized he was good at it. By this scene he's a pure gangster.
I love the part where Hank says "Its you! You were Heisenberg all along!" then Walt said "Yes I am the breaking bad." then kills Hank, truly the perfect ending to an amazing show.
Dean Norris' performance here is award worthy. With just one single glare we see rage, sadness, disbelief, desolation, and even what looks like what might be a twinge of empathy before he finds his resolve and tells Walt to rot, albeit rather hesitantly. Hank was the definition of "good" in that show.
Hank treated Walt always like a soft looser tht isn´t capable of anything. if he had shown more respect for Walts accomplishments in the past I would like him even more.
I still get chills when he says, "tread lightly". Its the cold blooded, heartless Heisenberg telling Hank that he won't hesitate to take him down just like he has everyone else who got in his way. There has never been another show (and never will be again) that has captured perfect writing, storytelling, and acting all at the same time to create the magic that Breaking Bad did.
Ever noticed the lighting when Walt says, "that is not going to happen?". It perfectly splits his face in 2, one side Walt. On the the dark, shadowy side with wounds on his face: Heisenberg.
Interesting take. The lighting is the same for hank. They are both pretty two faced. Maybe this was intentional, maybe it wasn't and we're looking too deeply in to the scene. The show was so masterfully written and directed, it very well could be portraying the dual sides of both characters.
@@edgarfriendly4731 Maybe in some other less important scene of this series, it would've been a reach, but not on this one, which is one of its most important turning points, some would say the most important. I also love how the lighting makes Hank's eyes shine bright, giving his face an appearance that was never seen before or after this scene.
2:10 - This is when Hank is introduced to Heisenberg. This was the man he was looking for. Hank was shocked when Heisenberg suddenly appeared. Great, subtle acting. Didn’t realize how much Walt’s personality changed and also the suddenly shocked look on Hank’s face. Hank had a haunted look in his eyes when he realized that he was talking to Heisenberg and was no longer interacting with Walt.
@@MidwestFarmToys Actually Bryan Cranston had explosive diarrhea that day and went in his pants right before shooting this scene. Vince told him to leave the puddle of mud in his pants for the scene and not tell Dean Norris. Hence, Hank's facial expressions.
It is one of them. I think "say my name" is also very powerful and "I am the one who knocks". There are a couple scenes in this series that are just pure tv history.
I think the thing I love most about this scene is Walter wanted to get caught. It stopped being about money back in Season 4. He wanted everyone to know about the empire he had created, how he had created a second Grey Matter. Deep down, I think Walt wanted the nationwide manhunt that is about to ensue.
Love deans acting in this but love mostly when he tells Walt to rot. The pain in his heart in his confused angry state he almost regrets saying such strong words to one of his family but at the same time he realises he's talking to a dark and evil individual that up until recently he had no idea it could have ever been walt. It looked like it hurt him to say that to Walt but also felt he had to say it. His mind thinking a thousand things a second. Not wanting to believe any of this is true but on the other hand realising putting the peices together ofcourse it's walt. I just love it
Honestly I've tried to put myself in Hank's position... like if I found out a close family member was an infamous drug kingpin. And I still cannot imagine flipping like this on someone I care about, who's never really done anything to harm me personally. At the end of the day, Walter is still his brother in law and they have a very close relationship. Nothing changed about that. Walter in fact worked to save his life and protect him from the cartel and Gus. Not to mention paying for his medical bills. Yes, Walter is still a wanted criminal and Hank is a cop, but family goes deeper than that, especially close family. I can't help but think Hank is the one who's out of line here. If it were me, I'd have either kept my mouth shut or I'd have had a personal conversation with Walt and explained that I had my suspicions but wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize the family or their relationship, and ask him to just be careful and keep a low profile. Frankly Walt would have been relieved to know that he didn't have to lie to Hank anymore.
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg I thought the same too. Until i thought about how far this thing had gone, it's one thing to be drug dealer but being Hiesenberg meant he was responsible for Hank almost dying twice, the mental toll on Skyler e.t.c Plus Hank was top dog in the DEA, which made things more complicated.
Earlier in this season Hank become emotional and says that his former, mundane job of tagging trees "is a lot better than chasing monsters". It's another wonderful scene where we a bigger scope of how emotionally and mentally damaging this case is to Hank. This case is causing him pain. WALT has caused so many people pain, on top his his dishonesty. Hanks is justified in punching Walt. I think it's more of an emotional release at this point. Best scene in the whole series.
I absolutely love thank Hank is not the cliche “oh how could you, why did you do this, oh no what about the family,” kind of character when he finds out, and is just incredibly pissed off.
The most painful thing about this scene is that when Hank tells Walt, "I don't even know who you are.". He feels like he wasn't saying that as a cop, he was asking him that as a member of his family, his brother (brother in-law, but who's counting), and all Heisenberg saw was a potential weakness he could exploit. Hank was best girl, hands down.
Walt was weak in the beginning. Good, but weak. Hank didn’t respect him. Now Heisenberg is telling Hank to just back off. Hank got that warning because he was family, and Walt still cared for him. Anyone outside the family would’ve been dealt with without a warning.
The acting in this scene is superb. When Hank responded to Walt’s cancer news with “Rot, you son of a b___h”, you could tell just by the acting alone that even after all this, he still cares for Walt. His voice and tone didn’t exude confidence when he said it. The way he fixed his mouth after that line was subtle and brilliant. 1:10
2:44 "If that's true, if you don't know who I am, then maybe your best course would be to tread lightly" ,,the way Walter says it is simply phenomenol ,the modulation in his voice clearly indicates how he feels inside!!! simply stupendous both the actors here!.
All through the show, I was thinking: "Ouch, when Hank's going to find out, he's going to come down hard". I had been waiting for that scene since the first season. I wasn't disappointed . It's a masterpiece.
You can tell Hank deeply loved Walt, he wanted to talk it all out after Walt told about his cancer coming back but shortly after realised Walt's beyond redemption. Vravo bince
Walter White is the greatest character in TV history. You don't know whether to root for him or to despise him, to laugh at his manipulations or to cry because nobody else sees them, to hope for his success or to pray for his downfall. He is a cancer man with nothing to lose, and he becomes a cancer to so many.
You know whether to despise him when he lets Jane die for no other reason than to have control over Jesse. Walter was consistently a bad person from the start of the show and you have to have issues to not notice that
The song played while Hank pours through all of the evidence, "Wordmule" is written by the same singer/songwriter that wrote the song for the ending of El Camino, "Static On The Radio." Because of this show he's become one of my favorites now. Jim White.
"the best course would be to thread lightly" ouch, Hank is great in this scene, he goes between anger and bewilderment, super angry at Walter but at the same time he can't believe that meek, mousy Walter has it in him to be this criminal mastermind, hands down for me the best-series-ever! I will probably binge it a third time
Interesting how when Hank beat up Jesse back in S3, he didn’t give him a second to get back up after first knocking him down, he kept hitting him while he was down without hesitation, but here, at 0:03 you can see him giving Walt a second to stand back up, showing that even though he’s enraged at Walt, he still can’t allow himself to beat his brother-in-law like he did Jesse.
@@theshlag1947 True, the fans do over analyze too much sometimes, but it is also shown that BB and BCS have such details in their show (many times actually). A lot of fictions do such details for their characters and their emotions, or what is happening around them.
2:23 Hank's heart broke after Walt said this, that faint glimmer of hope that Walt's lies were true actually true, died in this moment. Hank lost his brother in law whom he loved and you literally see it happen in that sequence when Hank says, "I don't know who you are". He looked like he wanted to cry as he had to accept the cold truth, his nerd brother in law was a cold hearted, murderous Drug Trafficker. Hank wasn't angry in that moment, he was grieving for the brother he just realized is no longer there. JUST WOW!!❤
The whole cast is so good throughout this show but Dean Norris' "I don't know who you are" line is IMO the best-delivered line in the series. All that anger from a moment before is totally flooded by betrayal and fear. What an incredible performance.
Hank was able to completely transform his face from a happy jokester cop to a very pissed, aggressive & worried man. Almost looks like a different guy.

The subtle change in expression before he says "that's not going to happen" is chilling. It's like a different personality took over and Hank is visibly shaken by this change.
I don't even think he was acting at that point I think Cranston legitimately scared him
The “I don’t know you” adds so much to that detail as well
That other personality was Heisenberg my friend..
Yes. The moment Hank realizes he isn't the alpha in the room...
First time Hank actually sees "Haisenberg". He soon says: "I don't know who you are".
its mind-blowing how at the drop of a dime he goes from trying to get sympathy to just outright threatening hank.
Walt is the classic sociopathic narcissist.
@@user-qo3mk1ck7h no, Angela Merkel is
it wasn't a threat more of a warning ⚠️ he doesn't want to hurt Hank but if Hank gets more involved he's likely to get caught on the crossfire of "THE DANGER".
@@jackpenber8959 a warning of terrible consequences if someone does something, is called a threat.
@@averagejoe9040 no, for example if I said "I might explode if you come near me" I'm warning you. Its not a threat because I do not want you to explode but a warning that if come near me you will be caught in the blast. It's a silly example but an example nonetheless.
And the lines delivered at 2:30 are absolutely spot on. In such shock his words just come out softly and almost silently, like on autopilot.
It’s amazing how quickly Brian Cranston can switch from Walt to Heisenberg.
In this whole interaction, he’s Heisenberg for two words: “tread lightly”
Nah, 1:32's definitely Heisenberg too. Suddenly going from meekly saying "feel sorry for me, my cancer's back" to confidently "I'm going to tell you exactly how and why I've beaten you, and you're totally powerless to do anything". Plus "that's *not* going to happen". Amazing how he slips in and out.
God shut up with the hac critic wannabe writer bs.
He was Walt the whole time
@@jordyjohn2275 it’s not wannabe critic anything, it’s literally the entire point of the show lmao
The point of any show is just character development, and character arc in Breaking Bad is all about how Walt slowly becomes a completely different person.
@@gabe2349 THIS! Honestly. It's fun to speculate and discuss. Those haters just hate for hate sake. 🤷♂️
What's your problem? 😂 People can have opinions and analyze scenes if they want. You don't have to be a total ding dong to people just because you disagree.
"Tread lightly" in that deep growl gets me every time. Tremendous acting
Also the bit where he says "that's not going to happen". Heisenberg voice.
Ok
Chills
Really sums up the whole Series BB. Who really is he? Dont bring your brother in-law on drug busts or he might get ideas.
U like that huh brooklyn beach barney rubble?
The range of emotion showed in Dean Norris acting in this one scene is outstanding. He goes from pure anger to confusion to fear so in sync with Cranston going from his scared guy act to his Heisenberg face.
It's crazy because early on he was easily the weak link and bad / corny actor of the series (to me) He really came into his own though.
You're absolutely right.
@@latinjeditrix The character he played was corny, and intentionally written that way at the beginning. I think Norris played it perfectly from day one.
u can see his lip shivering too
And then he beatboxes eye of the tiger
The shift in Walt’s facial expressions when Hank tells him to have the kids brought over to the house, and then Hanks look of fear at seeing Heisenberg come out is phenomenal
I was JUST thinking that!
Also the tone of his voice when he says “that’s not going to happen” It’s just like when Gus switches, the subtle face movements and change of voice. Incredible acting.
This really shows how much Walt has changed. If Walt threatened Hank's life in a serious manner during S1 he would've laughed at him, now he's terrified, because he doesn't know the person standing in front of him
He isn't terrified. He is just in a state of disbelief.
@@red2977 well okay maybe not terrified if you wanna get nitpicky but he definitely became afraid of him when he fabricated that fake evidence cd
I mean it also shows how much has happened in between that time that has directly affected Hank. He was traumatized, suspended, and damn near killed, all for chasing a ghost that was right under his nose the whole time. Remember that he went through months of evidence to empirically prove Walt’s involvement in the whole thing hoping that he was wrong, because he was still in disbelief over the whole thing.
@@alistairwalker2850 Agreed
I disagree, hank is scared because he knows exactly who Walt is in that moment
That moment Hank actually sees Heisenberg, and the disbelief/fear sets in for a few seconds...ohh man that's bone chilling
Yes..... He just watched a man who's gonna be dead in a few months, Swear to God, even after being caught out. So yeah I'm sure Hank realizes - "This guy *is capable of anything,* and has plans for everything"

Bravo, Vince.
Time stamp? I missed it
I mean, Bryan Cranston has gotten a lot of good rep for his role, but Dean Norris is fantastic here (and in other scenes).
He's amazing the whole series. Solid crew all around, Bryan leads like a good leader, but he doesn't get the recognition without the team.
A lot of credit goes to the director of that episode, if you watch the table read and the other takes (on the 2h documentary of the final season) you can see Dean really needed direction to deliver this masterpiece. It's great, but it's not the first renditions by Dean. He's a great actor, don't get me wrong, but with another director we wouldn't have gotten this.
Hank is the best character of this show imo
He certainly made me realize how important it is to know the difference between rocks and minerals. I kid. I wasn't a fan of him the first episode, but I grew to like this character very much. It was a huge blow to see him killed, but very powerful episode.
The microfacial expressions are what makes this. Tiny little changes in his eyes or mouth.
It's actually pretty depressing that every person Walt loved has told him to just die, even his son.
Wait has Jesse ever said that?
@@Pwilliams4000 Well, Jesse did, at the last episode, "then do it yourself"
@@mawivealWalt had already asked Jesse to kill him beforehand, so I don’t think that’s really a fair comparison.

1:08 is my favorite line delivery in the whole series.
You can see Hank is grasping for anything he can use to hurt Walter, but after he says it out loud, there is the faintest glimmer of doubt and disbelief at what just came out of his mouth.
Until Walter 's next few lines, it's likely Hank still isn't 100% sure Walt is Heisenberg, and that tiny flash of "what if I'm wrong" shows true pain in his soul. He can't believe what he just said, and further he can't believe he was brought to a place where he would mean it.
I see it, good callout.
What a great observation
You can see the hurt in Hank's eyes. Walt was someone he trusted, someone he viewed as very close family, like a brother, and to see Walt as the monster he is really destroys Hank.
Phenomenal actor, Dean Norris, very underrated imo.
I don't think Hank really cared for Walt. He made fun of him & treated him like he was a loser. Actually Hank was the monster,he was a horrible person just a good cop.
@@evitathediva371how was hank a horrible person, he acts like a normal person. Sure he's a bit rude but that's how many people are and the way he acts shows he clearly loved Walter as a brother. He didn't treat him like a loser he acted like an older brother
My favorite scene is when he initially discovered Walt after the scene in the bathroom with the line from Gale "to my other WW". The face he made and how he was in utter shocked. The problem is that this series had so many good actors Norris just blended with them, but that doesn't make him any less good. He was absolutely excellent

@@evitathediva371 the way he responded when they find out he had an 80% reduction in cancer is all u need as evidence to know that he deeply cared for walt

One of the best lines in the show. Delivery was perfect.
You can really tell what a heartbreaking, life-shattering realization this is for him. Brilliant acting.

It’s always soo uncomfortable when walt starts lying and everybody knows he’s lying but he keeps going 😂😂😂
Great acting by both awesome show
Bryan Cranston is a great actor, who acted really good at acting to be a bad actor
I think thats the most thrilling part of the show. The suspense of whether or not that lie is going to be exposed in that moment
It was super annoying to me because you could tell he thought he was Saul Goodman
This is true in general, but he wasn’t lying here. He was saying that he doesn’t manufacture/sell drugs anymore. At that point in time that was true.

Right after Walt Jr. told Walt to "open na noor" and Walt proceeded to opened na noor. Truly the most beautiful pair of scenes ever filmed.
2:15 I think this beat is much more significant then the "tread lightly" at the end. Hank is completely accustom to Walt doing whatever he is told, or at the very least hemming and hawing before coming up with some of excuse to avoid doing what Hank wants. Here Walt changes his countenance, and directly refuses to obey or even debate the command.
Walt was also confrontational with Hank during the bottle thing in season 2.
That’s true, that’s probably what Hank meant when he said that
Yep and you notice their expressions and the camera changes to match right at that moment. Camera is looking very close on Walt, and his expression is 'danger' while Hank is starting to look afraid, like he's realized hes not actually in control of anything. Its basically the first moment Walt's 'face' comes away and Hank is meeting Heisenberg. A complete exchange of power in the scene, and all from acting/words and camera angle. Such a good series!

Ever noticed the lighting when Walt says, "that is not going to happen?". It perfectly splits his face in 2, one side Walt. On the the dark, shadowy side with wounds on his face: Heisenberg.
Interesting take. The lighting is the same for hank. They are both pretty two faced. Maybe this was intentional, maybe it wasn't and we're looking too deeply in to the scene. The show was so masterfully written and directed, it very well could be portraying the dual sides of both characters.

It is one of them. I think "say my name" is also very powerful and "I am the one who knocks". There are a couple scenes in this series that are just pure tv history.
I think the thing I love most about this scene is Walter wanted to get caught. It stopped being about money back in Season 4. He wanted everyone to know about the empire he had created, how he had created a second Grey Matter. Deep down, I think Walt wanted the nationwide manhunt that is about to ensue.

Love deans acting in this but love mostly when he tells Walt to rot. The pain in his heart in his confused angry state he almost regrets saying such strong words to one of his family but at the same time he realises he's talking to a dark and evil individual that up until recently he had no idea it could have ever been walt. It looked like it hurt him to say that to Walt but also felt he had to say it. His mind thinking a thousand things a second. Not wanting to believe any of this is true but on the other hand realising putting the peices together ofcourse it's walt. I just love it
Honestly I've tried to put myself in Hank's position... like if I found out a close family member was an infamous drug kingpin. And I still cannot imagine flipping like this on someone I care about, who's never really done anything to harm me personally. At the end of the day, Walter is still his brother in law and they have a very close relationship. Nothing changed about that. Walter in fact worked to save his life and protect him from the cartel and Gus. Not to mention paying for his medical bills. Yes, Walter is still a wanted criminal and Hank is a cop, but family goes deeper than that, especially close family. I can't help but think Hank is the one who's out of line here.
If it were me, I'd have either kept my mouth shut or I'd have had a personal conversation with Walt and explained that I had my suspicions but wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize the family or their relationship, and ask him to just be careful and keep a low profile. Frankly Walt would have been relieved to know that he didn't have to lie to Hank anymore.
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg I thought the same too. Until i thought about how far this thing had gone, it's one thing to be drug dealer but being Hiesenberg meant he was responsible for Hank almost dying twice, the mental toll on Skyler e.t.c
Plus Hank was top dog in the DEA, which made things more complicated.
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg Same. In addition, Walter had already stopped cooking by that time.
@@asadjaved4406 I wouldn't say he's responsible for him almost dying twice, really only once
Earlier in this season Hank become emotional and says that his former, mundane job of tagging trees "is a lot better than chasing monsters". It's another wonderful scene where we a bigger scope of how emotionally and mentally damaging this case is to Hank. This case is causing him pain. WALT has caused so many people pain, on top his his dishonesty. Hanks is justified in punching Walt. I think it's more of an emotional release at this point. Best scene in the whole series.
I absolutely love thank Hank is not the cliche “oh how could you, why did you do this, oh no what about the family,” kind of character when he finds out, and is just incredibly pissed off.

The most painful thing about this scene is that when Hank tells Walt, "I don't even know who you are.".

Walter’ “I’m Batman!”
That threat at the end is always so chilling. It feels like a highlight of the contrast between who Walt used to be and who he became.
Walt was weak in the beginning. Good, but weak. Hank didn’t respect him. Now Heisenberg is telling Hank to just back off. Hank got that warning because he was family, and Walt still cared for him. Anyone outside the family would’ve been dealt with without a warning.
I love the fact that Hank punched Walt with his right hand, portraying the trust and respect he had in his right hand
Hahahahaha
BRAVO VINCE
“I don’t even know who you are, I don’t even know who I’m talking to”
Dean Norris’ acting was extraordinary here
I shed tears down my spine when Walt said "The real Heisenberg was the bad we breaked along the way". Such a powerful message to end the show on.
You shed tears down your spine? 🤔 You might want to have a doctor look at that, buddy
Breaked 😅😅💀💀💀😋🤪😏😋🤡🤯😽😺😽😺👏💀👍💀🦠🧙🦹🧙🧚🏊🚵⚡🌚⭐🌙⭐🌙⭐j jjjiiiii
Nice grammar
@@scottvelez3154 really? That’s what caught your eye, you are so dumb fr 😂
😂😂
The pain in hanks eyes, he felt so betrayed and so angry. Love this show I’ve seen it all like 4x
but girls think this show is boring n nerdy tho
The acting in this scene is superb. When Hank responded to Walt’s cancer news with “Rot, you son of a b___h”, you could tell just by the acting alone that even after all this, he still cares for Walt. His voice and tone didn’t exude confidence when he said it. The way he fixed his mouth after that line was subtle and brilliant. 1:10
1:24 Walt's ego took over here. Instead of just continuing to play dumb. He actively challenges Hank
There was no point in playing dumb
Its not ego, hes basically telling him why he does what he does and hopes he lets him
@@Box-2112 A part of Hank still genuinely didn’t want to believe Walt was Heisenberg despite all the evidence
Not everything is about ego, dummy, it's called changing your approach when not working, smh
2:44 "If that's true, if you don't know who I am, then maybe your best course would be to tread lightly" ,,the way Walter says it is simply phenomenol ,the modulation in his voice clearly indicates how he feels inside!!! simply stupendous both the actors here!.
All through the show, I was thinking: "Ouch, when Hank's going to find out, he's going to come down hard". I had been waiting for that scene since the first season. I wasn't disappointed . It's a masterpiece.
You can tell Hank deeply loved Walt, he wanted to talk it all out after Walt told about his cancer coming back but shortly after realised Walt's beyond redemption. Vravo bince
Walter White is the greatest character in TV history.
You don't know whether to root for him or to despise him, to laugh at his manipulations or to cry because nobody else sees them, to hope for his success or to pray for his downfall. He is a cancer man with nothing to lose, and he becomes a cancer to so many.
No, he’s not a very likeable character after the first few episodes. I think it’s pretty hard to root for him at all
@@cutthroat795 It is after awhile but something about the way he's written makes you hold onto the old possibility
@@cutthroat795 yeah maybe I was the only one who wanted Him to die so bad. I was like "you've done enough Walt, just die already"
@@cutthroat795 Nah, ur just trash and never actually watched the show much so stfu 😂
You know whether to despise him when he lets Jane die for no other reason than to have control over Jesse. Walter was consistently a bad person from the start of the show and you have to have issues to not notice that
This is an absolutely unforgettable scene by two amazing actors. Dean Norris floored me
What scene was that? I can't remember.
Floored Walt too
Loved when Hank was like,
“Don’t make me Hanky, you wouldn’t like me when I’m Hanky”.
Then proceeds to Hank all over Walter.
Jesse: “guys, I’m about to fix good. You guys won’t like me when I’m fixing good.”
He Hanked SO Hanking hard
Tell me youre 12 without telling me youre 12:
@@MartnMann you‘re*
Then Skyler came into the room and said "if ya'll don't stop fighting instead of helping me launder money, I'm gonna Yo my hardest Yo ever, Yo."
the way Cranston deepens his voice to give true meaning to the words "tread lightly" is a whole new level of acting
All it takes is one random 3 minute scene for me to want to rewatch the whole series again
it's impossible to have a favorite scene in this show but god this might be Dean Norris's best scene. it's perfect and he played it so well.
The song played while Hank pours through all of the evidence, "Wordmule" is written by the same singer/songwriter that wrote the song for the ending of El Camino, "Static On The Radio." Because of this show he's become one of my favorites now. Jim White.
The long silence between Walts line and Hanks punch was perfect.
2:31 “I don’t know who you are. I don’t even know who I’m talking to.”
That hit me in the heart. The way Hank said it, he’s devastated.
1:10 when he said this it made me sad because they had such a good friendship :(
"the best course would be to thread lightly" ouch, Hank is great in this scene, he goes between anger and bewilderment, super angry at Walter but at the same time he can't believe that meek, mousy Walter has it in him to be this criminal mastermind, hands down for me the best-series-ever! I will probably binge it a third time
That’s the I blew up Gus line don’t f with me lol
Even at a time like this Walt gives Hank sewing tips. So considerate.
Interesting how when Hank beat up Jesse back in S3, he didn’t give him a second to get back up after first knocking him down, he kept hitting him while he was down without hesitation, but here, at 0:03 you can see him giving Walt a second to stand back up, showing that even though he’s enraged at Walt, he still can’t allow himself to beat his brother-in-law like he did Jesse.
That’s actually a pretty cool detail
Over analysing much ?
@@Gws525that's the breaking bad fan's disease
@@theshlag1947
True, the fans do over analyze too much sometimes, but it is also shown that BB and BCS have such details in their show (many times actually). A lot of fictions do such details for their characters and their emotions, or what is happening around them.
@Gws525 Why couldn't the writer have thought of that?
2:23 Hank's heart broke after Walt said this, that faint glimmer of hope that Walt's lies were true actually true, died in this moment. Hank lost his brother in law whom he loved and you literally see it happen in that sequence when Hank says, "I don't know who you are". He looked like he wanted to cry as he had to accept the cold truth, his nerd brother in law was a cold hearted, murderous Drug Trafficker. Hank wasn't angry in that moment, he was grieving for the brother he just realized is no longer there. JUST WOW!!❤
The whole cast is so good throughout this show but Dean Norris' "I don't know who you are" line is IMO the best-delivered line in the series. All that anger from a moment before is totally flooded by betrayal and fear. What an incredible performance.
I adore this line but hoo boy, there's some stiff competition
Agreed. Was looking for someone to say this. Best performance and line in the series.
"Walter... All along... You were breaking bad!"
And then he looks directly at the camera and winks
He didnt say that
@@jackandyaron6186 yes he did
*loud laughing track noises*
@@BT-su1yf i cant believe they actually used that in the final episode.
Hank was able to completely transform his face from a happy jokester cop to a very pissed, aggressive & worried man. Almost looks like a different guy.
And Walt from a very shocked and insecure guy begging for his live, slowly turning into a calm and calculated killer
‘Calm down’
So simple, yet so effective. A subtle hint that Walt wants Hank to take his tone down a notch perhaps, or even calm down. Brilliant
Bravo Vince
