It feels a lot longer for us viewers because the show spanned six years, but in the show's universe the events of the series up until this episode occured over only a year and a half, which isn't all that long considering the sheer amount of dramatic events that happened.
Walt going 50+ over the speed limit, distracted talking on the phone, illegally passing in the slow lane and no cops catch him. And here I am getting pulled over for writing a RUclips comment while stopped at a red light.
he did, but it's literslly impossible for him to see it from his perspective. he didn't know that there was no GPS in the truck that he used, and when jesse told him it did, logically there is no time to check if it actually did. if there's a GPS, jesse finding his money is more than believable.
It's supposed to show how we get blinded by greed. Walter cared so much about his money that he threw all other logic out the window. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. either he needs to ask more questions about how they knew where the money was, but asking that would provide more evidence that Hank and Jesse were correct about there being money. Walt could take the risk and laugh in their faces saying that's completely made up to call their bluff. Walt didn't want to risk them actually being right and burning all his hence why he "fell" for it. It's as Mike said to Price in BCS when he lost his baseball cards, "it's the cost of doing business". A true lord would care more about self preservation than the money. It's all about the greed.
@@zack6012 True self preservation is more important than some money. You can always make more, but you have only one life. Although I admit its hard not getting blinded by money
Weird to think that the reason Hank died is because he let Jesse hang up the phone on Walt. If he'd kept Walt on the phone for 5 more minutes pretending to be "nearby", Walt wouldn't have been able to call Todd's crew.
Actually if Hank, with Walt in the car, had just left instead of making that phone call to Marie to mock Walt (trying to get him to wave or whatever) they would have likely missed Jack and co....but Hank's ego was as big as Walt's.
0:45 i like how he says “Nice orange flames” to make it more believable, as if Walter thinks he wouldn’t know what fire looks like if it wasn’t right in front of him lmao
This scene felt so climactic, as much as anything in Ozymandias or the finale. Walt and Jesse’s last real conversation. The explosive conclusion of their partnership. Walt confessing to everything he did. The needle finally bursting the Heisenberg bubble, which had grown so astronomically big after the death of Gus. I was on the edge of my seat, barely breathing.
If you think about it. If it weren’t for Walt, Albuquerque would remain more criminal infested if he didn’t enter the criminal world. Hank and Gomez didn’t have time to think about it. Walt was just the last one on the map.
A confession wouldn’t do it really. It’d be interesting to see what would happen if Saul and Walt were to go against the DEA in court as it’s more of what they can prove and Walt covered his tracks well.
walt really isn't very good at being a criminal. he's good at arguing with people and making it seem like they're being unfair to him, but other than that he has a really poor understanding of people.
I absolutely love the way he gave that delivery. It was peak Heisenberg. Almost like a mother bear raging to defend her cubs. Except with Walt it was his money he cared so much about.
I think Vince Gilligan actually said that his writing team wrote every character with a rule. They had to have some sort of weakness. Gus's weakness was his hatred for Hector. Jesse's weakness was...basically everything he cared about, Walt's was money. Everyone has a weakness in this show. And it's not corny or stupid like an anime villain, so that's what makes it good.
Thing is, his family was already fine. Skyler must have laundered hundreds of thousands of dollars by that point in the show and they must have kept a good portion of the money elsewhere, as it is unlikely they would drive all the way out into the middle of no where and unbury it whenever they have to launder money. Walter didn't want the money for his family, the money was a symbol of HIS accomplishment. That's why he was so willing to give up the meth business, because he could always look back on it and stroke his ego. However, that only works if the money doesn't go up in flames.
It’s also pretty difficult to launder over 80 million dollars and would take a lot of time so nah that’s a bad point. But the symbol of accomplishment is a cool idea
@@rudyh9027 I think what he's saying is that technically, Walt's family didn't need the millions by then. They had a couple hundred thousand laundered, if not more, in their businesses that they owned and even if they lost the 80 million, they would've been fine (assuming Hank and the feds don't get the evidence they need to RICO him). It literally was Walt's ego and greed that costed him everything.
Skyler said herself that they'd never be able to launder the 80 million dollars, so thst money might aswell not exist because they will never use it, walter lnly kept going because he wanted to feel like a dangerous drug lord
2:11 Scene is so intense you can't even realize that it was almost night when Walt arrived, then a few seconds later time regressed and it was brighter like noon again.
Tricking Heisenberg is a very bad idea. Jesse said previously no matter what you do to him he always turns it around on you and that's what happened here.
Even though Walt didn’t intend on it to happen. He was just that lucky to have back up come. He may as well have not called Jack because something else would’ve gotten him out of those handcuffs.
@@tankdogization Jesse said to Hank "Mr. White he's the Devil he's smarter than you are he's luckier than you are and whatever you think will happen the exact reverse opposite of that will happen."
Notice as SOON as they got the confession of him killing Krazy 8 and the gang bangers... Hank and Gomez got Jesse to cut off the call.... They had everything they needed
I love the emphasis that Jesse puts on calling Walter by his first name at the beginning. It was like an informal way of letting him know that he was no longer Mr. White to him. All respect was lost when he found out about Brock.
If anything he only exposed himself even more with Hank most likely right next to Jesse while on the phone by confessing that he killed Emilio and Krazy8. I’m pretty sure prior to that, Hank and Gomez assumed one of them turned on each other and just disappeared.
It was extremely emotionally driven I would say. All his hard work was going “up in flames” as far as he knew, by the hands of his disobedient partner who was, frustratingly to Walt, upset over Walters actions in the Season 4 finale. So frustrated we get 1:56
One of the most tension-filled moments of the entire show. I remember watching it without moving a muscle and barely breathing. It felt like riding along with heisenberg and having the adrenaline reaching the top. Amazing interaction between actors-viewers.
He did save jesse’s life to his own detriment on multiple occasions with no actual benefit to himself. As well as turn down every opportunity to waste him as he would have anyone else despite it solving all of his problems throughout the show. That seems pretty unambiguous.
It’s actually really obvious that he cares about Jesse. - The hug he gives him when he finds him in the drug house after Jane’s death. - The talk he has with Jane’s father at the bar where he describes Jesse as someone he truly cares about, which results in him going back to Jesse’s house to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. - Feeling genuinely sorry about Jane’s death in the episode ‘The Fly’ - Telling Jack “Jesse is like family to me.”
Saving Jesse led to his downfall as Gus says this is no business for emotions, if he sucked up any remorse and let Jesse die he would have gotten a better ending. Not to mention not retaliating for snitching, if you snitch to the cops then 99% of criminals would shoot you on the spot it’s the code of the street.
I think it’s plain to see that Walt only fell for this because he underestimated Jesse so much. Almost every scene they’re in together he manages to put Jesse down, call him stupid (literally in this scene) and even when he talks about Jesse to others he does nothing but insult his intelligence. Jesse has the best chances of fooling him because he only considers people “on his level” a threat
Walt really is an allegory for an abusive father. He constantly insults Jesse, belittles him, treats him like a child, and even beats him up. Which makes Jesse calling Walt out for being the evil scum bag he is and later spitting in Walt’s face even more satisfying.
Jesse himself said messing with Walt is always a bad idea because of his intelligence and INSANE luck. The result turned out exactly how Jesse described it, the complete opposite of what they were expecting.
the thing is walt's intelligence as he's truly an epitome of how a intelligent and a manipulative person thinks and bring things into execution , alongside his well planned strategy for stuffs keeps him ahead given the luck he rides on
nah jesse did this because he was sick of walts bs at this point, and his manipulation and lies. Finding out he poisoned brock was the straw that broke the camel's back
I love how at the start of the series Jesse is what caused most of their problems until Walt killed all of them. Psychologically torturing him in result. Walt did blackmail Jesse at the start and caused everything else later in the series lol
@@kylethefraggle30 Jesse forced Walt to kill everybody in this series and people don’t get it .. Walt was evil but he sacrificed his family and life for Jesse to the bitter end no matter what it’s wild
0:43 I think the show writers missed an opportunity here. I remember watching this years ago and again recently on a re watch. When Jesse said about the flame color, I was thinking Walt would pick up on the fact that the color of that flame that Jesse mentioned is incorrect for gasoline. And it could of been a bit of a call back to the first season when Walt was demonstrating different chemicals producing different colors when introduced to a flame when in class. Thought maybe Walt might of paused and noticed what Jesse was saying was rubbish
I like to think Hank and Gomez told local traffic cops not to pull that car as its a lure. It would make sense for Hank to contact them just in case they try to pull him over while He is speeding and running reds
The last four episodes of Breaking Bad have been one of the most intense TV-watching experiences in my life, and this is the moment where that whirlwind starts. What an awesome show.
It's crazy when you stop and think that if the scenario had actually been true, and assuming Jesse kept true to his word and burned $10k a minute, it would have taken him over 130 hours to burn all of Walt's $80 million, and still Walt felt the need to get there in a hurry.
Walt is both fueled and blinded by a long repressed greed. In fact that's one of his fundamental characteristics. And that's why Jesse knew he would almost certainly fall for this trick. Well played.
From the beginning of the show his greed was on display. He should've realized this was a trick because, honestly, jesse wasn't smart enough to come up with something like this and have the tools to put it together. But his greed, the phone call, the mental strategy was perfect here, now that was all Jesse.
Can you imagine knowing Walter White your whole life an then you hear this recorded audio. Damn, some kids like “That dude was my chemistry teacher in high school!”
Gus's Achilles heel was vengeance and hatred. Walter's was greed and Jessie. The greed part was always there. Jessie was always a foreshadow of him being his downfall. The Wicked and desperate stuff Walter did was to balance out the deficit of keeping Jessie alive.
This was his biggest and dumbest mistake with regard to the meth business. I remember being so pissed that he could be this stupid after being so shrewd for so long. But he never got fooled again.
Everyone has a weakness... even Walt.... the idea of possibly losing all the money he worked for fogged his brain and didn't allow it to analyze things like he used to. He was under the impression that Jesse had no clue where the money was and that it was buried so as soon as he saw the picture he assumed the worst without doubting it and stopped thinking rationally. As always emotions are what gets most people in the end. Excellent show.
Nah his dumbest mistakes were 1. Killing the drug dealers who were going to kill Jesse. Had Walt either not done anything, as Mike put it, everything would’ve been fine 2. Bragging to Hank that Gale likely wasn’t Heisenberg, leading to Hank investigating further and as such putting him in more danger from both Gus and the DEA 3. Leaving Leaves of Grass out in plain sight where Hank stumbled upon it. He should’ve ripped out the page containing Gale’s note at the very least
I think they did a fantastic job of making Walt a relatable yet still despicable character. you transition from feeling sorry for him and being understanding of him early in the series, to being completely abhorred by the things he does, but then still as you said, you feel pity for him in this scene when it's apparent how utterly corrupted he has become. I think that is the genius of this show. Walter White is neither completely evil nor completely virtuous. He is a regular, flawed human being, who is compelled by circumstance and his own shortcomings to turn into a complete monster. and yet his repugnant behaviour is ostensibly undertaken with the noble aim of providing for his family. It's beautifully complicated and thought provoking.
I wonder if Cranston ever had any issues with his voice with all the screaming and angry gravelling lines he had to do deliver while filming the show? o_0
Honestly they didn't even need to lure Walt to the money stash. Walter just admitted to several crimes in that phone call they could have just used that audio and they would have had him dead to rights.
Walt shows it time and time again. He is a genius, yes but when it comes to his ego and this need to be the best, he acts out of stupidity and does the most careless things.
How is that stupid... The kid fed Walt legit intel about the number of barrels and so on. Walt couldn't have guessed that Huell was being detained under false pretences by the DEA.
@@alainportant6412 He actually fell for Jesse's trick after he went; "Oooh nice orange flames.." From that point , it was already clear he was faking. Any rational person in that situation would take suspicion once he said that, but Walt still fell for it.
@@alainportant6412 Hank himself pointed out that the dirt didn't match when he caught him. He panicked. 2) HE shouldnt have been in that much panick. It would take a very long time at the rate he was "burning the money" to even make a dent in the stack probably enough time for him to realize it was a trick.3) Pretty obvious jesse was lying when he explains the flame colors because if you're burning the money you wouldn't need to say that.
Jesse actually calling Walt... Walt, instead of Mr. White sounds so cursed
it's cursed...yet so significant since this was the moment Jesse lost all respect for Walt....
It wasn't the first time though. First time is in season 2 I think.

0:03, one of the two times Jesse called him Walt. The other is S2: E5 “You need me more than I need you, Walt” 👍
Nobody cares that you found that in the breaking bad wiki Fandom good for you I guess.. Bruh
I do care
Welp guess I'm off to watch this masterpiece from beginning to end again
Regardless to say. This show's awsome.
Makes me consider doing that too
Ive done it like 20+ times easily lol
Its like visiting the Sistine Chapel. It never gets old.
Walt's big mistake here was forgetting that Jesse didn't have reception in the desert.
Yet Walt somehow does?
“Nice ORANGE flames”. That right there should have been Walt’s clue that it was all a bluff.
Some of Cranston's finest acting here. You can really feel the rage and desperation!
the direction in this scene is amazing
Jesse: “HE KILLED BROCK”
Hank: “Jesus christ, jesse, his name was Bmineral”
Underrated
It's ironic how Jesse did this because of his love for Brock and Andrea, and it ended in the death of Andrea, and Brock losing the only parent he had.
nah jesse did this because he was sick of walts bs at this point, and his manipulation and lies. Finding out he poisoned brock was the straw that broke the camel's back
This is the moment where Walt Jr becomes an El Pollo Loco Chicken Combo Meal
HaHaha, this one got me laughing.
You mean Los Pollos Hermanos.
0:47 When you realize you only have 3 episodes of Breaking Bad left
The way Jesse says 'nice orange flames' is so funny
I wish he was driving the Aztek in this scene.
The Chrysler is cool but the Aztek is OG
@@Vincentlpp08 facts
I love how at the start of the series Jesse is what caused most of their problems until Walt killed all of them. Psychologically torturing him in result. Walt did blackmail Jesse at the start and caused everything else later in the series lol
If everyone. Gus,Mike, Jesse, if all of them just followed Walt everything would've been fine. Walter didn't want anything to happen to anyone.
@@kylethefraggle30 Walt was doing it for his family just like he said
@@SkatingPizza And even THEY had to disrupt and ruin his plan, driving him to do more evil.
@@kylethefraggle30 Jesse forced Walt to kill everybody in this series and people don’t get it .. Walt was evil but he sacrificed his family and life for Jesse to the bitter end no matter what it’s wild
@@jsmiller0605 I think Bryan Cranston said it best when he said Jesse needs to be corrected by Walt or he's lost.
0:43 I think the show writers missed an opportunity here. I remember watching this years ago and again recently on a re watch. When Jesse said about the flame color, I was thinking Walt would pick up on the fact that the color of that flame that Jesse mentioned is incorrect for gasoline. And it could of been a bit of a call back to the first season when Walt was demonstrating different chemicals producing different colors when introduced to a flame when in class. Thought maybe Walt might of paused and noticed what Jesse was saying was rubbish
Walt was to busy worrying about the money and not focusing on what Jesse was saying.
I like to think Hank and Gomez told local traffic cops not to pull that car as its a lure. It would make sense for Hank to contact them just in case they try to pull him over while He is speeding and running reds
Nah, in the breaking bad universe, hank is the only cop who takes his job seriously, so others don't work 😂😂😂
Even at that 10Gs a minute he could afford to wait 2-3 days and still be left with enough to fund his family for the foreseeable future.
0:16 OH... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD‼️‼️‼️
You know Jesse is pissed when he calls Mr. White Walt.
The last four episodes of Breaking Bad have been one of the most intense TV-watching experiences in my life, and this is the moment where that whirlwind starts. What an awesome show.
Imagine how insane the documentary would be if this had actually happened?
Walt doing those turns with one had on his phone was so impressive.
Ok sure
That thumbnail is perfect
His 300 srt was too badass
I prefer the Aztec. LOL
@@jeremiahhester6408 🤣
It's crazy when you stop and think that if the scenario had actually been true, and assuming Jesse kept true to his word and burned $10k a minute, it would have taken him over 130 hours to burn all of Walt's $80 million, and still Walt felt the need to get there in a hurry.
Walt is both fueled and blinded by a long repressed greed. In fact that's one of his fundamental characteristics. And that's why Jesse knew he would almost certainly fall for this trick. Well played.
There is a hint here. When Jesse called Walter, Walt. Instead of Mr white you can tell he’s being controlled by Hank
From the beginning of the show his greed was on display. He should've realized this was a trick because, honestly, jesse wasn't smart enough to come up with something like this and have the tools to put it together. But his greed, the phone call, the mental strategy was perfect here, now that was all Jesse.
This scene was like a story mode game last mission where the main character is hurrying to the fight scene and the villain has some hostage taken
Can you imagine knowing Walter White your whole life an then you hear this recorded audio. Damn, some kids like “That dude was my chemistry teacher in high school!”
This scene was the beginning of the end. Walt's life as he knows it has already changed by the time he gets to the site of the buried money.
Walt's acting is PHENOMENAL in this scene.
I liked how Jesse called Walter and said " Walt, you're breaking bad ends here."
Watched this show 8 + times and I still tense up at this seen just like the first time I watched it. So good
ive watched this show like 3 times entirely and I still keep watching clips
I just can’t believe that kind hearted chemistry teacher ended up becoming a mass murdering psycho who was willing to hurt children
It took the combined intelligence of Jesse, Hank and Steve to trick Walter
Jesses and Hanks final moments. Walts black car driving is like the dead is coming to them.
Hank probably didn't even recognize him at this point, hearing him on the line behind Jesse
Gus's Achilles heel was vengeance and hatred. Walter's was greed and Jessie. The greed part was always there. Jessie was always a foreshadow of him being his downfall. The Wicked and desperate stuff Walter did was to balance out the deficit of keeping Jessie alive.
Jesse was spot on about Walter, by this stage, all he really cared about was money.
This was his biggest and dumbest mistake with regard to the meth business. I remember being so pissed that he could be this stupid after being so shrewd for so long. But he never got fooled again.
his ego and greed got the best of him if only he knew that this was a setup
@@tommyhani6507 and besides he was bound to slip up sooner or later.
Everyone has a weakness... even Walt.... the idea of possibly losing all the money he worked for fogged his brain and didn't allow it to analyze things like he used to. He was under the impression that Jesse had no clue where the money was and that it was buried so as soon as he saw the picture he assumed the worst without doubting it and stopped thinking rationally. As always emotions are what gets most people in the end. Excellent show.
@@josephsullivan7173 plus the added effects of the cancer and treatment.
Nah his dumbest mistakes were 1. Killing the drug dealers who were going to kill Jesse. Had Walt either not done anything, as Mike put it, everything would’ve been fine 2. Bragging to Hank that Gale likely wasn’t Heisenberg, leading to Hank investigating further and as such putting him in more danger from both Gus and the DEA 3. Leaving Leaves of Grass out in plain sight where Hank stumbled upon it. He should’ve ripped out the page containing Gale’s note at the very least
0:42 “Wait, but because of the sodium content in American bills, it should burn a purpleish colour. Jesse is lying to me, he doesn’t have my money!!”
This was the moment when Heisenbergs ego was bigger than Walt's intellect.
He called him walt
You couldn’t use this phone call as evidence, two party consent , no tap warrant on his phone.
NM is a single party consent state
Jesse calling Walt by his first name instead of calling him ‘Mr White’ indicates all respect was lost.
"Hey Jesse, where you at?"
You know what it would have been really helpful for Hank? Recording this conversation.
I hated Walter this entire season until this scene. I just couldnt help feel bad for how easy Hank played him if hurts to watch
I think they did a fantastic job of making Walt a relatable yet still despicable character. you transition from feeling sorry for him and being understanding of him early in the series, to being completely abhorred by the things he does, but then still as you said, you feel pity for him in this scene when it's apparent how utterly corrupted he has become. I think that is the genius of this show. Walter White is neither completely evil nor completely virtuous. He is a regular, flawed human being, who is compelled by circumstance and his own shortcomings to turn into a complete monster. and yet his repugnant behaviour is ostensibly undertaken with the noble aim of providing for his family. It's beautifully complicated and thought provoking.
@@icemysta30 The genius of this show? They took almost everything from The Sopranos, lol.
@@TheFreshEC that is not even remotely true
@@TheFreshEC if anything they made every effort NOT to take notes from the Sopranos
@@TheFreshEC this show is nothing like the sopranos 😂😂
Walt spitting everything on the phone... I could imagine Hank and Gomez laughing their asses off in the back.
How did the cops not stop Walt for speeding, not that I wanted them to.
I see guys speeding 40 over on the highway all the time. Cops are never where they need to be lol
He didn’t pass one on the way? I don’t get why people think that’s a plot hole. You can get away with driving like that a couple of times.
Walt is so stuck up in his pride that he doesn't realize that no one would ever be able to find the barrels.
Unless he gives them the GPS coordinates.
@@Delta_Aves_Mashups exactly
I wonder if Cranston ever had any issues with his voice with all the screaming and angry gravelling lines he had to do deliver while filming the show? o_0
I'd say his throat was sore after filming this scene 🤣
@@primmslimm7185 I wonder how many takes of this scene they needed to do 🤣🤣🤣
What a satisfying and cathertic ending seeing good triumph and Hank living happily ever after. Nothing bad happened afterwards
ye this goodly
this is one of the only times in the entire series where jesse refers to walt as walt instead of mr white
1:13 look at the way he looks upside,like he was waiting jesse to believe in his story. Like "let's see if it works".
Honestly they didn't even need to lure Walt to the money stash. Walter just admitted to several crimes in that phone call they could have just used that audio and they would have had him dead to rights.
The camera work in this scene is so unnerving. Brilliant
1:36 May I first Say that Walter has some Remarkable Driving Skills! Even On the Phone Whiled 1 Wheeled handed?!?
Walt shows it time and time again. He is a genius, yes but when it comes to his ego and this need to be the best, he acts out of stupidity and does the most careless things.
How is that stupid... The kid fed Walt legit intel about the number of barrels and so on. Walt couldn't have guessed that Huell was being detained under false pretences by the DEA.
@@alainportant6412 He actually fell for Jesse's trick after he went; "Oooh nice orange flames.." From that point , it was already clear he was faking. Any rational person in that situation would take suspicion once he said that, but Walt still fell for it.
@@melvinbigsmokeharris7640 You know nothing MR big smokin BBC
@@alainportant6412 Hank himself pointed out that the dirt didn't match when he caught him. He panicked. 2) HE shouldnt have been in that much panick. It would take a very long time at the rate he was "burning the money" to even make a dent in the stack probably enough time for him to realize it was a trick.3) Pretty obvious jesse was lying when he explains the flame colors because if you're burning the money you wouldn't need to say that.
