What’s the TV show Breaking Bad about?
Walter White (Bryan Cranston from Godzilla and Total Recall), a chemistry teacher, is diagnosed with lung cancer. He decides to make and sell methamphetamine to repay his medical debts and secure his family’s future.
Season 5 of Breaking Bad:
With Gustavo (Giancarlo Esposito) dead, Walter (Bryan Cranston from Godzilla and Total Recall) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) decide to start their own drug empire. They team up with Mike (Jonathan Banks), Gus' former henchman. They also team up with Lydia (Laura Fraiser) and Todd (Jesse Plemons).
Hank (Dean Norris), now head of the DEA, gets involved in the Gus Fring case and tightens his grip on Mike, who will be forced to leave the operation. Jesse quickly does the same. Walter helps Mike to organize his escape but mortally wounds him in a fit of rage. Later, he makes Todd his new assistant.
Thereafter, Walter knows an uninterrupted success and accumulates enormous amounts of money. One day, Skyler (Anna Gunn) shows him the impressive pile of money, explaining that she can no longer launder it and begging him to stop. Soon after, Walter decides to leave the business for good.
Everything seems to be back to normal when Hank discovers that Walter is Heisenberg. Heisenberg buries his money in the desert and convinces Jesse to leave town, but Jesse agrees to surrender to Hank and his partner Steve (Steven Michael Quezada). Hank, Steve and Jesse manage to capture Walter in the desert. Walter, thinking that Jesse would be alone, hired Todd's uncle Jack (Michael Bowen) and his men to come and execute him, but tries to back out when he sees Hank with him, however Jack ignores this and a shootout ensues. Jesse is captured, Steve is shot, Hank is wounded, then coldly killed by Jack despite Walter's pleas. The mobsters find the hidden money and seize the quasi-totality, Todd insisting to leave him a small part of it. Walter then decides to flee with his family, but Skyler and Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte), terrorized, refuse to follow him.
Walter leaves to live in reclusion in New Hampshire, but his cancer relapses. Jesse is reduced to a slave by Todd, and after an escape attempt, Todd coldly shoots Andrea, Jesse's girlfriend. Later, Walter takes the risk to contact his son in order to give him money, but this one refuses and declares that he would prefer him dead. Desperate, Walter is about to turn himself in before he stumbles upon a television interview with his former partners, who downplay his contribution to the creation of their company. Overcome with resentment, he decides to act. He entrusts, under threat, the 10 million dollars which remain to him to his former associates, by making them promise that they will give them to Walter Jr. at his majority. He then says goodbye to Skyler and confesses to her that he did all that to feel alive and not for his family as he had always affirmed it. He manages to free Jesse and to kill Jack, Todd and their men, but is mortally wounded. He dies in a meth lab on his 52nd birthday, two years to the day after the events of the first episode.

Ironically, everything walt said here is what the fanbase actually thinks of Skyler.
Not really, Walt was evil by this point, I never got the Skyler hate, sure she nags a bit at the start, but she is also forced to be in a relationship with a sociopathic murderer.
@@king-pn4bj eh she's annoying for the early seasons because it seems like Skyler is just trying to ruin Walt's only chance to provide for his family, but later on you realize that he's evil and he's doing it all for himself and you start feeling bad for her.

Skyler did some great acting here the look on her face when she realizes what walt is actually doing on the phone is amazing... this is is sad af tho
If she had listened to Walt ... and didn't call the police, they could have worked out this nicely.
Walt did better acting though
@@alexale5488 well To ne fair she's fairly certain he just murdered hank and he's become a big drug kingpin she's not entirely sure what he's capable of doing and just ran off with her baby. Probably hard to not panick and call the cops at that point to just try to keep your baby safe

I love how skylar subtly figures out what walts doing, she starts off angry but grows softer and plays along. Bryan Cranston is amazing but so is Anna Gunn
I don't think she figures that out. She maybe got a hint that he trying to pull something off, but if she did, good for her, I guess. She grows softer and softer only after learning of Hank's death and the rest of it.
Yeah you can see as it steadily dawns on her, the look at 1:35 and the little pause he gives her to play along.
@@gurubhaktmohit She did figure it out. He was deliberately saying things that she knew weren't true.
@@EyobFitwi yeah. That makes sense.
Or maybe she feels helpless and if she goes along with walt she'll get holly back
Everyone praises Bryan Cranston’s acting in this scene but can we take a moment to appreciate the baby’s acting? I have never seen a more pitiful baby
What about the cellphone? Phenomenal acting
@@lexmiyazaki4679 The house phone was better.
I don't know. That Walter Jr, or Flynn, or Junior, or whatever he calls himself in 2021 was amazing. How he handled them crutches and eye movements.. The cell phone and house phone were pretty phenomenal though. I agree
It's almost like she's been preparing for this since the day was born.
No the fire ambulance acted much better
"Family or no. You let that sink in." Even in the situation he's in Walt still continues to be so generous and allow a Sink into his home, regardless of his families thoughts. It's awe inspiring.

lol
"Did u forget the time I sent men to threaten Ted Beneke and he ended up paralyzed, or the time i hid a 1000 gallons of stolen liquid for you"
If his wife is Marie this is what probably Will happen.
"Walt, you forgot that time you asked me if I wanted out and I ignored you and kept laundering the money because I wanted to. I also sprayed the cash for silverfish without you asking me to do it."
this scene hurts so much. it's the final act that walt did for his family: make skyler look innocent to the eyes of the law and cut any tie his family had with him. it's not heisemberg talking, it's walt under a disguise, in order to look evil and menacing to save his family.
No shit
I'm just glad we can see that Skyler knows that's exactly what he's doing. She was always not seeing the bigger picture in what Walt is doing until this moment. We can see I her face that she's sad because he's making this sacrifice to protect them, playing up the role as this monster so that they are victims and not accomplices.
Its not the final act
You don't say.
@@ReaverLordTonus she didn't though. She blamed him and brought him down all the way until the end. She only supported him when it was convenient for her to do so.
Watching Walt struggle to stay into Heisenberg as he delivers that message, almost breaking down is powerful acting. He knows his son is there and will hear a monster, but he needs to keep Skylar safe
3:09 And this is when Walt demanded that Skylar let that sink in. It’s amazing to see how much compassion he still has for sinks after how dark of a road he’s been down. Props to the writers for making sure walt cares about letting that sink in!
Walter is such a nice guy :♡

Holly was robbed of an Emmy. That was the most convincing acting I’ve ever seen. You can really tell that she understands why Walter had to take the blame for everything to save Skylar. Even though Holly tried to talk him out of it. Holly knew Walter had more Bad to Break, and the realization the Bad wasn’t going to be Broken anymore broke her, and she really sold the emotions a baby would have coming to that realization.
Bravo Vince

This is the moment holly became jolly
What's she gonna do with an Emmy?
@@TheRealXanderKelliegamer Chuck
You can see how when Walt says “you will never see Hank again” he has to say it menacingly to have the cops pursue him over Skylar, yet he shows immense sorrow for Hanks death with his facial expressions almost like he wants to cry. Amazing acting.
He's very deliberate in his phrasing. He's taking responsibility for Hank's death, but still wants Skylar and Marie to know he didn't kill him.
That phone call is the way Flynn remembers his dad for the rest of his life. Walt forgot about how the phone call would change him when he tried to contact him later. So sad
Hmmm, perhaps one day his mother can explain it to him. Doesn't change what he did but it's better he knows
Well I mean he never got to hear the phone call tho
@@MrTREEHUNTER22 he is literally in the room when it’s happening, you can tell everyone can hear it because Marie starts crying about Hank
@@muddy3074 There is never any indication that it's on speaker for everyone to hear. Marie only reacts once she sees Skylar's expression, not when Walt actually confesses
The thing is, there’s a look on Skyler’s face in the call that makes you know. She’s realised what Walt’s doing with the call - he’s completely removing the family from any crime or wrongdoing, and his threat to them is to make sure that the family is protected from not just him but the Aryan gang as well. It’s genius just how many ways the call can be presented.
2:49 Walt trying to sound badass all while trying not to burst into tears because of hank... man Bryan Cranston is a legend
Also cause he knew this was his last goodbye to his family. An immensely powerful scene.

2:44 the fact that you can see by the emotions that Walt wants to say that it wasn't his fault (it kinda was but indirectly) that Hank died, but he has to say badass sounding stuff to save Skyler from a prison sentence, perfect acting
It actually kinda looks like he was going to say “I killed him”
This scene is Gus' speech about a man providing for his family coming full circle. ''And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved.''
Gus just want to make Walt stay in the lab and cook...
Impressionable
@@Strochkin Doesn't mean what everything he says is BS. If he said that for a legit job, would he be wrong ?
Walt never did what he did for his family
💯
In my opinion, Heisenberg died when Hank was shot dead. From that point onwards we are just watching Walt trying to make things right and save what is left of his family, under the disguise of Heisenberg in order to intimidate his opposition.
Agreed. I also think, that's when Walt failed. Not the phone call with flynn, not the fight with flynn and Skylar, just the death of Hanks. Because this is the one thing that walt wanted to avoid since the beginning: The death of a family member. Because of Walt hank is dead and Walt knew it. Sure, Walt got some closure. But he still lost the game
Right. From there he isn’t as intimidating as he was before because Heisenberg was no longer there. You get that with the last scene of Saul and Walter together in the basement. Saul doesn’t fear Heisenberg cause he knows he no longer there. Also, that’s the starting point of the man hunt and we see Walt grow out his hair. He doesn’t have the unique bald Heisenberg look anymore.
He became more like Mike after that moment.
@@vilsobraska4464 It was Jessie's fault for being dumb, and emotionally immature/volatile. It has always been that way. There were numerous occasions where Walt had secured a good situation for him and Jessie, only for Jessie to ruin it big time over and over again. Walt's descent into Heisenberg was largely facilitated by a need to do so in order to deal with the consequences that Jessie would bring onto them.
This is the moment Heisenberg becomes Walter White
I love the small detail at 4:17 with the chess game. White can’t win the game. What a brilliant and hilarious look at the situation.
Good eye. The king has limited options BUT not quite in checkmate. Foreshadowing perhaps
@@greenmatrix151023387good eye! Also the king has barely any pieces to protect him anymore he has to survive on his own merit for the rest of the game. But still has some spare minions on the other side of the board to even the playing field
The king is trapped in a corner
Anna Gunn's silence during that phone call is arguably the best 10 seconds of acting I've ever seen. Breathtaking.
I don't know a lot about her as an actress, but from what I can tell, she is a really good actress! So, yes, you're right.

I get sad everytime i see Walt begin to shake with sadness before mentioning Hank again. Bryan Cranston’s range and performance in this show is the best i have ever seen

Cranston’s acting here is absolutely incredible. The way Walt is painfully saying all these things. He knows he’s helping his family but the pain it brings him to say it is so real. Brilliant.
Seeing Holly cry at the end is so heartbreaking. Everything about Holly is easy to overlook in the show but you have to remember: before all of this, the meth, the cancer, all of the murders and planning an move-making: Walt was a soon-to-be father and probably looking so forward to Holly’s birth and welcoming his daughter into the world. And then Walt has to miss her birth to make his first delivery for Gus. And by the end of it all, Walter will never get to hold or see his infant daughter again.
also easy to overlook but good to remember: babies can't act, what you see is real. 4:47

Walt's impersonation of Skyler always makes me laugh. A nice bit of comedy in an overall very heavy scene.
It wasn’t really an impersonation but rather a faked acting performance of a pretend Skyler. To make it seem like she’s the victim. It’s campy and exaggerated, but essentially a smart move.
If he wanted the impression to be spot on he should've thrown an "I f***d Ted" in there.

Talk about layers of acting too from both Gunn and Cranston, as Skyler has the dawning realization of what he is doing and Walt is devastated and sad but still putting on that abusive act.
The way Skylar says "you're right" gives me chills. It's the smallest ray of hope in this unbelievably shitty situation. She understands what the plan is and will play along and has signalled this to Walt. They get to work together one last time
Saul basically says as much later on. Next time you watch through, pay close attention to the scene when Walt ends up in the disappearer's basement with Saul, their very last scene together. Saul references this phone call and essentially confirms Walt's intention was to help her by doing it.
ZgAsLiGhTing bruh people like you that parrot things will always have scenes like this go over your head, y’all along for the ride not free thinking or critically lol
Same here, the comments analysis got me realizing what he was doing here lol
“Maybe now you’ll use your damn head” is such a great line, he’s basically telling her he’s about to make a play and she needs to get on board
I am amazed how walt acts threatening and "killed" hank when he actually loved hank and tried to save him but it was too late and they killed hank, Amazing Acting in Breaking Bad 10/10
The agony on his face as he's forced to use Hank's death as a threat.. absolutely masterful
The pain on Walters face when he talks about hank. Having to act like he isn’t deeply hurt by what happened. That was insane.
Marie's face at 2:55. How can you not cry? She knows now her husband has definitely been violently murdered, and because of her brother in law... What AMAZING acting.
i started to giggle when i saw that face ffs
@@killthegod8888 fr lmao it's so funny
She's the worst character in the show, condescending, dumb annoying and a thief...literally no redeeming qualities. I honestly wanted her to get killed
Some people are sick af 💀 that reaction is genuinely heartbreaking
@@UselessAccountt you’re just not used to anything
Even in the end Walter still trying to protect his family.
4:16 Weird detail (that I may be exaggerating) but only the King and the Knight is left on the white side, with 2 other pawns left. This could mean a lot of things, like Walt being the King desperately avoiding to be checked/caught, or the knight being his only lifeline left (the Vacuum guy) or the pawns being Pete and Badger, the last two workers he hired in his life.
1:09 - I like the emotion Skyler shows here. She figured out that he was purposely doing that to get the heat on him 100%. She got even more emotional once she heard that because it was truly a selfless thing Walt did, for once.
true
"for once"? Have you not watched the show?
@@YousefGingo go. Away
@@YousefGingo literally everything he does is entirely selfish
@@finnmacmanus5723 hell no.
Sad that it's been almost 10 years and there's still not a single series made better than this masterpiece.
Right! Vince set the bar so very high that no show has ever been able to go above it. Only time will tell though
Mr. robot came pretty close. I’d argue that season 4 episode 7 of mr. robot is on the level of ozymandiaz, I don’t want to spoil anything but if you haven’t watched it you should check it out.
Better call Saul Season 6 about to do it
The wire is better and The sopranos is ranked pretty highly
@@christopherjohnson577 No
This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in television and film history.
The realization on her face when she realizes what he's doing for her is one of a kind.
The most heartbreaking thing about it is how Skyler realizes what Walt is doing to clear her out of everything and she can’t do nothing about it but to listen, I believe that is the reason she says she sorry, notice how it sinks into her, and then he also lies about Hank when he did everything in his power to protect him. This is the part Walter truly died
more like pretending to be heisenberg because heisenberg died when hank died
walter didnt die here, heisenberg did, but yea whatever
I’d argue it’s the part where he comes back after being gone the whole season
It’s when Heisenberg died
300th like
Credit to both of the actors, of course, but I want to give special appreciation to the incredible writing and direction. The scene was so perfectly written that we got to simultaneously experience the realization of what Walt was doing alongside Skylar. So wonderfully executed.
Max box? The fuck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be cheating or something
@@okyh483 bro you're many years 2 late :^)
hello (:)
tf2
I didn’t get till now that I rewatched it. Damn that hurts now.
The only time where Walter White Pretends to be Heisenberg, instead of the other way around.
“Oh, no Walt. You have to stop this! It’s immoral! It’s illegal!” Walt’s mocking voice when he says this is the best part of the entire series. So damn funny.😂😂😂
2:45 The way he almost breaks down, knowing that his family will never forgive him for the next thing he says.
Everyone praises Bryan Cranston's acting here but can we talk about Anna Gunn's ? Simply fantastic !
Both are top tier
Fr, people don't give her credit because they find her character annoying. But it's top tier acting.
@@V-for-Vendetta01 Watching the show I didn't exactly get why her character got so much hate. Sure she was a bit annoying at times (not nearly as much as Marie though) but she was clearly concerned for her husband (why shouldn't she be?) and when she found out about his criminal activities she never betrayed Walt to the Police. My only guess was that everyone was rooting for Walt at the time, overlooking his serious personality flaws. Only more recently and in part thanks to BCS have people started to recognize just how much of an unsympathetic arsehole and piece of shit Walter really was.
@@madgavin7568 it's because the whole show has been directed in a way that makes you want to root for Heisenberg even though he was the vilest pos. So even when his wife was obviously being the much more reasonable person, she obviously keeps coming at odds with walter and that annoys the viewers.
This is the moment Skylar let that sink in.
At the time, I thought Walter had really gone off the deep end. Now I realized on this call he was trying to protect Skyler. 😢
I mean saul mentioned thats what he was doing in the next episode
That baby crying and looking so scared and confused just breaks my heart!
This show hits so different after you have your own children
How'd they get the baby to act like that though?
@@byronsenior6499 They held her mom at gunpoint and threatened to shoot
@@rikiishitoru8885 lol
Top tier actress and top tier writing am I right?
He's pretending but also not pretending. Faking but also honest. So many layers to this scene. Amazing and emotionally wrenching.
It's ironic, because he really thinks these things, but really doesn't want to say them, but knows that he also has no choice.
Remember how Walt was going to use the ATM machine story to make Jesse sound like Tuco?
I can't imagine the acting chops required to act like a character who is acting like he's mad when he's actually crying his eyes out. He's acting a character who is acting a character. Meta-acting, in a way. Pretty damn impressive.
He genuinely might be one of the greatest actors of all time.
Everyone’s applauding Walt’s and Skylar’s performance, but can we talk about how good the baby’s acting was? No crying, no pooping, straight professional!
I love this comment
No pooping 😂
No crying?
0:56 is some brilliant acting from Anna Gunn. We see Skyler confused at what Walt is going on about, because she knows she never said any of those things to himp, and Anna Gunn portrays Skyler's realization that Walt is lying for the police solely through facial expressions. Anna Gunn submitted this episode for her Emmy and won
Her voice at the start is so weird
To me it's the "you're right" that is perfectly delivered. It's her signalling to him that she understands what the plan is and will follow it.
Hey im curious. Is that how that works? Do actors have to personally submit their best acting clips from their shows to be considered for emmy nominations?
@@papimiloson2854 yes
@@papimiloson2854 wow, i thought it was like a community-voted one
The way she says “I’m sorry” 😢 she’s smart, she understands what Walt is doing and it almost seems like an admission of guilt and lamentation of Walt’s circumstances even if they’re self inflicted. Like “I’m sorry things turned out this way”
He was saying those things to get her off the hook but he truly meant every word.
Notice how when Walter ask her "Are you alone, no police" She tells her "No, no police" pausing a little bit soo Walter could knew that she indeed wasnt alone
Also double negative is positive
she pauses to look at the policeman who shakes his head to indicate she should say no
this show was going over your head if you think walter didn't already know the police/dea would be there
@@samueld5418 But Skyler wouldn't necessarily know that Walter would know
I think Walter had known from beggining she was about to say ,,no" and also had knew it was a lie. It was just too obvious she would talk in presence of police so he took opportunity to clear his wife to get her off the hook.
Cranston cried more real tears in this scene than most actors do their entire career.
Bryan is so good of an actor that even his character is a good actor
Damn. The solid 6 seconds of silent understanding between them...they do love each other. Even after everything.
"please lie with me come on"
In one of the DVD extras they have some alternate angles of the final scene with Walt, Skylar and Holly. As he's leaving the room he takes her by the hand for a moment one last time .. really nice detail that I believe the main camera didn't catch
I remember seeing in a video essay that the chess game at 4:14 is set up so that (Walter) White cannot win. Vince Gilligan is a genius
Really? That’s unbelievable
The game is 80% blurred. You can’t see what’s going on. Does that mean draw or one side is losing? Dumb comment by Vince
@@mikecantreed the comment says the video essay made that comment not Vince himself
Vince Gilligan might be the creator of the show but he didn't direct this episode.
He can't win, but he can pull a Stalemate, and that, he sure pulled. I wouldn't consider a Stalemate a proper tie tho... After all, one side can be all alone and cornered while the other is well surrounded.
You watch a few random clips, and now fk it, you just need to go and watch the whole fkn series again. Ya know? It can't just be me;
Literally me right now:
Marie reacting to Skylar being told she’s never going to see Hank again is just brilliant writing. No words said. Just where’s Hank? And then obviously being told something awful. This show was amazing
Police who watch this scene would probably admit, they’d all have swallowed this like goldfish in a bowl.
Baba booey
Walter White was literally a mastermind that created the biggest drug ring in the US and eluded police for 2 years. There is no way any competent person would think he would be dumb enough to say all that to his wife over the phone when he knows they would have it bugged.
I'm sure the dramatization of it all helps quite a bit lol
@@andrewkeith4332 Right, but my point still stands. There's no way at this point in the series where the feds would believe that he slipped up like this.
@@hodgmanderp4613 some people seem to forget that this isnt real. This is a television program yeah?
