If you're gonna make a sequel to a game you gotta have everything the previous title had but something new added in He had the stern eyes ruthlessness of gus but also had genius level knowledge of building things
I like that even Jack knew he was dealing with an actual drug kingpin at that moment, rousing at the cold, fitting response rather being offended or mad about being hinted as ‘not the man to do it’
he risked all at this point though. No backup, no one to awenge him or retaliate, only smallest fry in the group Todd to vouch for him. That was a great bluff and a risk, might be the peak of Heisenberg - dealing with mostly unfamiliar group of violent neonazis.
"Figure it out. That's what I'm paying you for." That line was so ice cold and calculated. Walt knows that at this point he's a true kingpin, his money and rep can buy hired killers as easily as breathing. What he really needs is a strategist. And that's exactly what Jack was. Up until the final few episodes, I have no doubt Walt and Jack worked together very well.
I think the main problem between Walt and Jack was that Jack already was pretty powerful and could‘ve thrown over Walt at any time because Walt indeed had more money and was smarter but Jack had more Men, Firearms and his ties to the Aryan Brotherhood. Mike worked for Gus because it was his job while Jack worked for Walter to benefit his own gang.
Even though Walt's ego was the biggest thing in the breaking had universe, he was smart enough to know when he was in danger and the fact that not only was he surrounded by a gang like he'd never dealt with before, he still felt cocky enough to talk a bit of shit without even looking the slightest bit apprehensive. It's impressive and you gotta give him credit for his balls, but also like I said I do recognise how out of touch he was with his pride but it's still crazy to see
You've got this backwards, the gang is afraid of him, look at how nervous everyone but Jack looks. You need to reanalyze Walters position at this point in the series, hes essentially a living legend and all these guys know about him is that he killed a man who was basically unkillable. These guys obviously respect a hitman and Walter did the most elaborate assassination they have probably ever seen.
The bravado is itself a move. to quote Cyberpunk 2077, in that world "you're either coming on strong or you're nobody." If he shows weakness, they'll continue to nibble at his goals until there's nothing left.
The moment Jack snapped his fingers in Walt's face, and Walt gave him the "death" look for his insolence; that's when you knew the series would end with Walter shooting him in the face.
Through this show, Walt really changes into a whole different man. In the first season, he was crying and apologizing to a corpse of a dude he killed technically in self-defense, and in the last season, the prospect of setting a hit for 9 people is such a trivial thing to him that he can do things like wonder about where paitings come from while ordering the said hit.
@@Einhauserit shows he's really not concerned about planning 9 hits, normally people would have anxiety and cold feet but Walt could give less of a shit. He's really gone full kingpin at this point.
Why do I keep seeing people comment that him Killing Crazy 8 was "technically self defense"!?? No it wasn't!! Not even remotely close!! They had him locked to a pole in a basement for a week. At that point if he did manage to kill Walt & escape, NO charges would come of it.. cause HE WAS THE VICTIM!! It's inconsequential when Crazy 8 picked up the broken plate & then tried killing Walt. He already tried killing him, also successfully killed his friend & then kidnapped & locked him up!! Gtfoh it was "technically" self defense
@@wukilla8ee probably because you are failing to realize that people are referring to the moral differences in the killings rather than the legal difference
I love Jack, Todd and Kenny in the show. They are not charming, charismatic characters and popular like Gus, Tuco, Mike and Hector, but they are amazingly well portrayed and have interesting lines on the show. I believe Vince could develop more in the final season about these characters and more scenes with them.
every time I think about this show it baffles me how a dying chemistry teacher who worked a car wash to make ends meet ends up coordinating hits on 10 guys in 3 different jails and it was done so damn seamlessly
Fun fact: The art painting of the wall that Walt sees is the same one that was in the hospital room in season 2 episode 3, right after when Walt comes back from the desert with Jesse, the episode that Hank shot Tuco.
@@christianbell8347What do you mean "yeah right"? This isn't some theory. That painting actually does appear more than once during the show. In fact, it was commissioned specifically for the show. Look it up.
Jack and his gang used to be CIA agents involved in the assassination of Bin Laden years before the public one. their mission was classified and they were retired because they killed a bunch of kids against orders. then their records got sealed and they all retired and became criminals
@@N394-l1f not a mistake when Jack Welker is a prophetic neo-nazi. We never got to spend any time exploring Uncle Jacks prophetic prowess because the writers introduced him and his goons into the show too late.
2:46 this subtle look tells a lot more than it lets on. Heisenberg has never organized a prison hit, so has no idea if what he's asking is actually unreasonable or just incredibly difficult. And of course he can't ask Jack and look weak or unsure. But looking at the other guy and seeing he's nervous tells him everything. If it was truly impossible it would just be a mildly disappointed or "sorry man, we tried" look. Instead it was "Fuck, I can't contradict Jack. But I don't want to disappoint this king pin." And that confusion tells Walt actually doing the plan as he wants is an option.
@@marcocopococolococojust implied. He wanted to make sute the DEA wont be able to protect the remaining prisoners once they know there possible witnesses are in danger.
I'm not one of those 'this is the moment Walter became Heisenberg' guys. But this is the moment when I can't see Walt at all. Even his remark about the painting. He's saying that with Walters' scientific curiosity about the world but what he's really doing is saying that these outlaws are just like any of the other scum bags with whim he's run around. They're not any more or less special or capable. It's a plant for the payoff when he questions their ability to do it. I don't know when Walt turned into Heisenberg but at this scene Walt is gone.
That's interesting, I saw "Walt" in the first part up until the finger snap, to me it almost seemed symbolic that the finger snap represented the shift from Walt to "heisenburg" You can see it in Bryan Cranston's eyes when he changes characters almost From what you said though, its almost like "Walt"s way of arguing with these guys is through logic and metaphors, where heisenburgs way is through brute force, lol
Jack and his guys thinking through everything out loud is so good. The acting is tremendous. “Gonna be tight….real tight.” You just believe these guys are hardened, experienced criminals and speak of murderous deeds in this nonchalant shorthand. Well done acting.
Uncle Jack admires Walter's reputation and audacity for a non-jailbird. This is partially why Walter has to save face and avoid being whacked by Jack after publicly weeping over his dead Brother-in-Law, by sacrificing Jesse.
Very interesting to note, after he killed Gus, Walt dropped the facade of a meek Chemistry teacher. Breaking Bad is so good because of Bryan's acting. He goes from a guy that is shaking, whimpering and stammering in his criminal acts to just sitting there stone cold stoic like do I have to tell you again.
@Kyle Katarn I never said walt before the series, you misunderstood my comment, even as far as season 2 Walt is still his normal persona of meek, kind, shy,etc. Palpatine was only putting a show, while Walter even into season 4 was still plenty of good and not all of his good scenes were manioulation, he was genuine.
@@joethegoat7731in many ways, yes. Both are apprentices of a higher master, both were manipulated to further their masters’ goals, both were very damaged in the process, and both lost their love ones in the process.
The progression of criminals mirrors so well with how far gone Walt’s gone. Literally started from low-level peddlers and now in a room with vicious, routine murderers and psychopaths.
@@biggusdickus9000 he couldn’t control them. He had no other guys to fall back on. Walt needed more friends. That’s what he never had. Mike was correct when he told Walter it’s always good to have someone on your back
I like how the shot frames the painting and Jack in the mirror while Walt is pondering very cold and menacingly "where do you suppose these come from? are they all in some giant warehouse someplace?" The same cold calculating face like Gustavo Fring. Understanding how far he's fallen into depravity plotting these killings and wondering where these evil men he has joined company with come from.
The irony! when you consider the transformation of Walt's character. Throughout the series, Walt's initial goal was to secure his family's financial future, but his actions increasingly spiral out of control. The meeting with Uncle Jack was supposed to be a calculated move to resolve his entanglements and ensure his safety. Instead, it highlights the extent of his downfall. Walt's pride and his desire to maintain his criminal empire lead him to make decisions that ultimately result in his own capture. His attempt to manipulate and outmaneuver his enemies and the law backfires spectacularly. Hank’s death, in particular, is a brutal reminder of how far Walt has fallen from his original intentions. He becomes a victim of his own hubris and the very world he sought to dominate. This dramatic turn reinforces the theme that no matter how clever or powerful someone believes they are, the consequences of their actions can be far-reaching and tragic. Bravo Vince, utter brilliance
Jack wasn't though, that's the thing. It's like Mike said, you can kill Jesse James... but it don't make you Jesse James. They were afraid of Gus, but Walt literally has no one. Not even Mike anymore.
@@FurryWulfzperhaps not Jack. But that was a grave mistake wasn't it? It's everyones mistake. They all think Walt is a sucker but he will murder anyone the second he gets a chance. And hey. Word on the street is that he killed Gus.... So for me it's a little two sided. He's not Jesse James but he sure isn't a sucker either
@@zoxyy.1x granted. This whole idea and how it could work was because of Walt. But they never explained how to make this work. They just showed everyone getting merked. So this whole scene to me felt lack luster. Typical BS Hollywood.
@@shroomgod1990 They cover most of it in this scene in terms of their connections to prison staff and gang members to carry out the hits at two of the locations; it's just the third hit and the timing which made Jack doubtful they could pull it off which is figured out offscreen. Even in the actual montage, we see some of that detail where they figured out they could just torch the last guy's cell instead of having to get him outside while they had a bead on everyone else including the lawyer.
Same painting he saw in the doctor's office when he heard more about his diagnosis I believe. It used to symbolize a man departing from his family, but now it literally means nothing to Walt.
Fun fact: Jack mentions the killing of Bin Laden in past tense, implying it happened. It had happened at the time this episode was written, but at the time it was set, the raid wouldn’t happen for another year.
'"It can be done éxactly how i want it. Figure it out. Thats what i'm paying you for". This is where Jack knew, instantly, he was dealing with a véry high-level type of Gangster. Not some streetpunk gangleader, thugboss, or errandboy... No, this was an absolute TOP level criminal! Not a high ranking representative, no the Boss himself! The type of person Jack and his crew could do a whole lot of work for, and earn a lot of money doing it! This was the type of Criminal Overlord, Jack had been waiting for!
He got in touch with all these people through Saul Goodman. You can call it luck, but making one good connection is usually how it happens for people in real life too
When they thought about firing/killing Todd cuz of the Drew Sharp incident, Todd told them his uncle was connected in prison (which Mike even acknowledges and shows some respect for, cuz the Aryan Brotherhood ain’t to be fucked with irl), that’s how Walt knew to contact Todd and Jack.
"Look at me, talking to Neo-Nazis about whacking people, like it's the most normal thing in the world, I've really come into my own as a drug kingpin. In fact apart from wrecking my family life, the murder, the child poisoning, getting countless people hooked on destructive substances and ruining a young man's mental health for my own ends, which will all inevitably be found out, this is the best thing I've done in my life." thought Walter, as he stared at a quaint if slightly generic painting of a ship in a calm, sun-dappled sea. Wearing a whimsical expression on his face, while exuding an air of malevolent authority. The dim motel lights bathed him in a glow that made him appear almost as if he was not of this world, but rather a harbinger of terror and suffering in the shape of a man, conjured from an abominable realm.
The "Wacking Bin Laden" line is definitely an anachronistic mistake as even though the episode was released in 2013, Season 5 takes place in 2009-2010 so obviously they wouldn't have known about Bin Laden getting killed by SEALS until a year or so later.
Funny thing is, Jack probably ended up making the most money from Blue Meth in general. Fring only got to sell Blue Meth for about less than 3 months, and have had to deal with the Cartel's shenanigans until he dealt with them. Not too long after that, Walter ended up killing him. And while Walter got to produce his meth for 3 months, Jack sells for over 6 months without having to pay a dime to his cook(Jessie).
This show really turns one's moral values upside down. Villains become heroes and heroes become villains. I always became tense when Hank or Skyler entered the screen, but I could not bring myself to hate Jack or any of his cronies, including Todd.
Walt shouldn’t have acted disrespectful towards Jack. It was unnecessary. He also should have brokered a deal to hand the operation over to them after he retired and fully trained Todd.
I always thought jacks chain smoking was kinda an insult to Walt, Walt got lung cancer without smoking and here jack is taking advantage of his cancer free lungs
There should be a spinoff season with episodes of origins of each of these unique characters. like maybe a few episodes about Jack and crew. A few about Gus, a few about The Salamanca's..etc. no need for a whole series for each character,... Just a special season of origins
Very true. I'm at S4 E10 of BCS and it's been good but it's very detailed and there are only about 5 or 6 so far that I've picked out that are really anywhere near BB level episodes. This is a cool idea. I guess in S4 of Breaking Bad though we kind of get a good Gus background episode when Don Eladio kills his partner so then is killed off by Gus, and in BCS there is a BRILLIANT episode on Mike's past, possibly the best BCS I've seen so far

Crazy how walt and jack relationship included trust till the last episode, they both are horrible people but managed to benefit from each other
And they gave Walt this credit mean while it was jack and aryan brotherhood that mastermind this.
no nigga 😭😭 he literally told them to do it wtf
@@zoxyy.1x duh for money. It’s like Elon musk. Doing all this cool shit. He’s just the bankroll
@@shroomgod1990 yeah that’s true but he still played a huge part in it
@@zoxyy.1x granted. This whole idea and how it could work was because of Walt. But they never explained how to make this work. They just showed everyone getting merked. So this whole scene to me felt lack luster. Typical BS Hollywood.
@@shroomgod1990 They cover most of it in this scene in terms of their connections to prison staff and gang members to carry out the hits at two of the locations; it's just the third hit and the timing which made Jack doubtful they could pull it off which is figured out offscreen.
Even in the actual montage, we see some of that detail where they figured out they could just torch the last guy's cell instead of having to get him outside while they had a bead on everyone else including the lawyer.
Same painting he saw in the doctor's office when he heard more about his diagnosis I believe. It used to symbolize a man departing from his family, but now it literally means nothing to Walt.
Just boom, boom, boom. You know what I'm sayin'?
*eats pizza*
Yeah, Surgical.

Not as poor as Gus, hence why he dead as hell
Fun fact: Jack mentions the killing of Bin Laden in past tense, implying it happened. It had happened at the time this episode was written, but at the time it was set, the raid wouldn’t happen for another year.
And to think Walt was scared of his wife back in season 1
he was?
'"It can be done éxactly how i want it. Figure it out. Thats what i'm paying you for". This is where Jack knew, instantly, he was dealing with a véry high-level type of Gangster.
Not some streetpunk gangleader, thugboss, or errandboy... No, this was an absolute TOP level criminal! Not a high ranking representative, no the Boss himself!
The type of person Jack and his crew could do a whole lot of work for, and earn a lot of money doing it!
This was the type of Criminal Overlord, Jack had been waiting for!
Walt was just to lucky in this show. Somehow Todd’s uncle is a powerful gang that can kill 10 people in prison system.
Aryan brotherhood is the strongest prison gang
He got in touch with all these people through Saul Goodman.
You can call it luck, but making one good connection is usually how it happens for people in real life too
"Mr White is the devil, he is smarter than you, he is luckier than you"
@@jordyjohn2275 thats right. Imagine u know lets say Lebrone or Elon Musks ,u are set for life if you know how to use this conmection lmao
When they thought about firing/killing Todd cuz of the Drew Sharp incident, Todd told them his uncle was connected in prison (which Mike even acknowledges and shows some respect for, cuz the Aryan Brotherhood ain’t to be fucked with irl), that’s how Walt knew to contact Todd and Jack.
"Look at me, talking to Neo-Nazis about whacking people, like it's the most normal thing in the world, I've really come into my own as a drug kingpin. In fact apart from wrecking my family life, the murder, the child poisoning, getting countless people hooked on destructive substances and ruining a young man's mental health for my own ends, which will all inevitably be found out, this is the best thing I've done in my life." thought Walter, as he stared at a quaint if slightly generic painting of a ship in a calm, sun-dappled sea. Wearing a whimsical expression on his face, while exuding an air of malevolent authority. The dim motel lights bathed him in a glow that made him appear almost as if he was not of this world, but rather a harbinger of terror and suffering in the shape of a man, conjured from an abominable realm.
They do portray the aryan brotherhood extremely well
@@shroomgod1990 Aye the series as a whole did an excellent job of showing and also somewhat humanising the different levels of bad
Cracking up over this comment
@@Einhauser This is of course taken from the Breaking Bad novelisation of the series
@@satireisnotdead5804 ha, yes
Walter at his coldest.
The "Wacking Bin Laden" line is definitely an anachronistic mistake as even though the episode was released in 2013, Season 5 takes place in 2009-2010 so obviously they wouldn't have known about Bin Laden getting killed by SEALS until a year or so later.
I love how Walt looked the most threatening in this scene
Hell no. He was the least menacing
He didn’t look that threatening when he was pleading for Hank’s life 😂
At this point in the show walt is still winning the "pissing match" with jack
At 0:14 when Jack said "No iron pile" I though for once he said "No Aaron Paul" 😂
That would've freaked me out
That snap in the face always make me laugh 🤣
Same 😂😂
I don’t want the goon squad rolling in and stealing our shot!!
Talks like a ex something…
Walt is bluffing big with a 7-2 off suit with his “Are you the one to do it?”
That photo he is talking about. He sees the same one in episode 3 of season 2. The attention to detail is nuts
I love that both Dean Norris (Hank) and Bryce Rankin (Skinhead w/Mustache) played in a show called Claws.
Walt was like "The inner workings of your organization don't concern me"
“The inner Mac and cheese of my mind is an enigma” -Patrick Star
Jack was the best villain an most realistic. Fring had money but he paid someone to think like Jack. Jack was the real gangster.
Funny thing is, Jack probably ended up making the most money from Blue Meth in general.
Fring only got to sell Blue Meth for about less than 3 months, and have had to deal with the Cartel's shenanigans until he dealt with them. Not too long after that, Walter ended up killing him. And while Walter got to produce his meth for 3 months, Jack sells for over 6 months without having to pay a dime to his cook(Jessie).
Breaking bad fucking RULES. I like better call saul but this kind of style and grim just does it for me.
No one talking about everyone clearly going well above the speed limit at the end there
lmao
This painting Walt is staring appeared in the second season in the third episode when Walt was lying on the bed in the hospital
This was the moment that Walt meet Jack.
Love how at the 1 minute mark, kenny is stretching his back, and at the end of the series he gets killed on that back exercise machine.
Always the master motivator / manipulator.
3:20 the "VAC" on the sign clearly foreshadows Walt using the vacuum salesman to disappear later in the season, Bravo Vince
Oh, I thought it foreshadows him being VAC banned from official Steam servers.
candidate for best ever bb moment
gonna use Walt's line whenever a contractor gives me shit
I would like to see the cast of Grown Ups do this scene on some Late Nite show.
This show really turns one's moral values upside down. Villains become heroes and heroes become villains. I always became tense when Hank or Skyler entered the screen, but I could not bring myself to hate Jack or any of his cronies, including Todd.
Crazy how much street credit Walt gets for these kills when Jack is the one who actually executed
3:09 “Figure it out” …Legendary
"Just boom-boom-boom"
Fucking Jack
watching this episode for the first time, and then seeing the hand tattoo was like a slap in the face
I’ve always enjoyed that side-plot where Walter uses his drug money to track down the warehouse where all those copies of that painting are kept.
"Whacking Bin Laden wasn't this complicated"
breaking bad takes place from 2008-2010.
Jack is a time traveller confirmed.
Or the whole bin Laden story is bullshit
Unwatchable
Pretty sure this is the guy who cleans my gutters.
💀 actually?!
Surgical
Stanley's dad went nuts
2:27 the way he snaps his fingers is always funny to me
It was vaguely “surgical” in that most of the guys got stabbed to death by 100 high speed pokes with sharpened pen caps etc. 😬
Just BOOM BOOM BOOM
you know what I’m sayin?
Walt shouldn’t have acted disrespectful towards Jack. It was unnecessary. He also should have brokered a deal to hand the operation over to them after he retired and fully trained Todd.
Every boss and employee ever.
Jack probably wouldn't have taken half of Walt's attitude if his last name hadn't been "White"
That was a big selling point for Jack and company lol
Did anybody else feel like Jack's crew would have been a much more perfect antagonist for Sons of Anarchy then for Breaking Bad?
Yeah
I’ve watched this show 1000’s of times and I’m just now seeing is that Peter Stormare? ??
Nah he would’ve had a bigger role
I always thought jacks chain smoking was kinda an insult to Walt, Walt got lung cancer without smoking and here jack is taking advantage of his cancer free lungs
He didn't even know Walter had cancer, when Heisenberg showed up at Jack's place in Felina, he asked if Walt shaved his head and etc....
@@tf2freakshow870 I know, I meant it as symbolism in the show
What a great observation
This is one of my best BB heists
1:45 tight tight tight that line was used before where tho
😂
He used my same line 'Figure it out... that is what I am paying you for" when at McDonald I asked the toilet's key and was told it was out of service.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
There should be a spinoff season with episodes of origins of each of these unique characters. like maybe a few episodes about Jack and crew. A few about Gus, a few about The Salamanca's..etc. no need for a whole series for each character,... Just a special season of origins
Very true. I'm at S4 E10 of BCS and it's been good but it's very detailed and there are only about 5 or 6 so far that I've picked out that are really anywhere near BB level episodes. This is a cool idea. I guess in S4 of Breaking Bad though we kind of get a good Gus background episode when Don Eladio kills his partner so then is killed off by Gus, and in BCS there is a BRILLIANT episode on Mike's past, possibly the best BCS I've seen so far
@@thomasmahoney4991 yeah for real. Great shows nonetheless
The painting that Walt mentions is the same painting in the hospital room when Walt fakes his fugue state
THIS IS THE MOMENT
THAT WALTER WHITE
BECAME HEISENBERG
Now we know who pulled off the pager deal
