- 5x09 Ending Chapter Blood Money (August 2013), with a brutal conversation between Walter White and Hank Schrader:
If you do not know who I am ...
then maybe your best course...
would be to tread lightly. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I think the most heartbreaking thing about this scene is how Hank slowly transitions from rage and anger to just utter bafflement. This is the first time he's ever truly come face to face with Heisenberg, and yet it's the exact same face he's been looking at for years. There's simply no way for his mind to reconcile the voice and appearance of a man who he came to spend so much of his life around as family with the thing now standing in front of him.
it's easier to fool a person than to convince them they've been fooled.
He came face to face with Heisenberg numerous times before, most notably during the pool party in season 2 where he demanded the bottle. Walter was Heisenberg in that moment.
@@mob4556 the point is he didn't know it was heisenberg until this moment
@@VicenzoV what was he trying to communicate? im curious as in i dont know myself
Not only that, he's always seen Walter as a coward- and Walter is a coward. But Heisenberg? Heidenberg is a force of nature, an unstoppable force. And Heisenberg is no coward. The only thing is, Heisenberg and Walter just so happen to share the same face, and Hank just doesn't know how to process the fact he's not talking to Walter anymore
Hank deserves as much credit as Walt. His acting is fucking unbelievable.
"It was you! All along it was YOU!" legit sent chills down my spine
@@percyrobles8897 nah, piensa que toda la trama se va construyendo con pequeñas pistas de que walt era heinsemberg. además de todas las actuaciones raras que tiene durante la serie. sus pensamientos no van de quiero a walt a odio a walt al salir del baño, todo ocurre gradualmente y desde antes, solo que no se refleja del todo en el trato pero si se ve que van percibiendo a walt de manera diferente con cosas como lo de emborrachar a su hijo y etc. lo que pasa al salir del baño es que todas esas pistas que antes veia individualmente ahora las ve en su conjunto y ve lo que realmente pasa. y prácticamente no hay lugar a duda con la cantidad de evidencia. era como que solo faltaba esa última gota que colmase el vaso. el desarrollo que hace la serie es impecable
@@percyrobles8897 además de que tiene unos días alejado de todo(cuando "pilla el virus ese estomacal") para pensar en ello y convencerse de que walt es heinsemberg
@@vegasvanga5442 I really was hoping a Batista-Dexter encounter like this on dexter finale -.-
@@percyrobles8897 you are talking shit.
Hank's face is impressive in this scene, look at his eyes.
for me it's the subtle pseudo-gagging when he positively affirms the return of Walt's cancer
@@metadata4255 I feel like it's disgust and sadness he's feeling. Walt is his friend and family, but now he realizes that he is also probably the worst criminal he's ever come in contact with. he is torn between the two emotions of hate and sympathy, but his hate at this moment is much stronger.
@@iggyeo6458 but not only hate. It’s also his ego that got hurt. After always bullying and seeing Walt as less Hank realization that Walt is actually a bigger player then he ever was, hurt his ego
@@TheStatisfiedOne nah i have to disagree, Hank never had a huge ego like Walt he genuinely loved Walt like family and was truly hurt by The betrayal
@@oogs9114 Any DEA agent has to have a huge ego. Imagine the balls it takes to ruin someone's life over a plant or some powder used to feel good.
Dean Norris was incredible in this entire series. He took a character that could've been so one-dimensional as a know-it-all cop, and brought so many interesting layers to Hank. His transformation was just as dramatic as Walt's.
I want Dean Harris to play the thing I Fantastic 4
he's a sussy baka
Great comment !!
This was the comment i was looking for
It's so incredible how this show turns the audience's sympathies completely around by the end. I couldn't stand Hank in S1, but you can't help but root for him by S5.
There is so much power between these actors when Walt says "Tread lightly."
As if an unstoppable force finally meets an immovable object.
Turns out they were each stoppable and movable respectively
@@pannycostara7534 😆
@@pannycostara7534 Not on their own, though. That's the point of the analogy.
Joker approves!
Walt - Unstoppable because hes on a roll
Hank - unmovable because he refuses to let walt get away with it
“I don’t know who you are, I don’t even know who I’m talking to.” Those words hit deep.
Not the same brother in law he always gave a hard time. Or the guy he just punch a minute earlier.
I felt like that about every ex-gf i had
bro has alzheimers
@@brimple 😭
So damn powerful
I want to see the next bit where they stare at each other for another 30 seconds, before Walt awkwardly asks Hank to please open the garage door for him
I imagine that as Hank is standing there stunned, Walt slowly, without breaking eye contact, reaches for the garage door opener, opens it, then slowly walks past Hank and out.
I was JUST thinking of that as it ended.
Haha this comment made me smile.
I also pictured it as either Walt just hits the button himself and walks out, or Hank hits the button and tells him to get the hell out.
@@karmagirl314 I hope that you work in a creative industry. That was absolutely perfect and is now my headcanon.
@@karmagirl314 This is exactly how It played out for me, too.
The look on Hank's face when Walt says "that is not going to happen" shows he knows this is Heisenberg. That's why his line saying "I don't know who you are" is so powerful. Tremendous acting.
They have spent a lot of the series showing you Hank as being this larger-than-life character so accustomed to dancing around the jaws of hell and being a bit of a jock and lad that's seen it all yet he is utterly speechless when he finally comes face-to-face with the Devil, it's almost like he thought he knew everything about evil and he now realises he hasn't even scratched the surface.
Hank wanted to be wrong up to that point. He knew for certain right then.
@@mmtot Well said.
SHUT UP
When he swears to God that he's just a dying man who runs a carwash, I guess that _technically_ he wasn't lying. By this episode he was no longer cooking meth.
He wasn’t lying actually. However still no good excuse for Hank
He also raised his LEFT hand not his right hand
@@andrew3606 I think this video is mirrored. He used his right in the actual footage.
@@Gurehige that would make sense
@@Gurehigeyup! AMC logo is backwards so yeah it’s mirrored
That acting from Dean Norris itself deserves an Emmy. He looks so genuinely perplexed, disappointed, confused, angry, it's like a whole other character, it's nothing like Hank.
I loved Dean's character in this show. Maybe my favorite one.
Even when his life was threatened, Hank was always able to be positive and even crack a joke. But after the W.W. revelation he was completely beside himself
Sthu with the awards talk all the time, they are repeating lines in front of a crowd of people and cameras, big fn deal
@Mr.Whiteman-rv2iz that's generally what all Emmy award winners do. You want to give Emmys to first responders and the troops?
No, I would say it’s Hanks character down to the core.
His bravado “Hey Ladies! Lets get some work done!” was all show of macho confidence.
But since the shootout with Tuco, witnessing the boobytrap explosion, & almost being taken out by the Salamanca twins, that shell of confidence had begun cracking.
Hank is a dedicated man to discovering the truth, & Walters involvement in the narcotics game had inadvertently caused a lot of trauma to him. And all the witnesses of Gus’ organization being silenced must’ve been the biggest “FU” to him discovering the truth.
Disgruntled, but he was willing to almost move on…until finding the book in Walters bathroom.
For the first time in his life, Hank is afraid of Walt.
Wrong
He is afraid of Heisenberg 😁
@@hondamanvtec2894 same person
@Daddy is it? You’re not a different person when you’re angry, are you? You still take responsibility for what you do
Hank is a pussy.
@Man of Tomorrow you’re right. I’m not afraid of my alcoholic dad I’m afraid of his alternate personality when he’s angry. Lol what who cares that’s still my dad in this hypothetical scenario
that slow descent from Walter white to Heisenberg in a single line is amazing
“That is not gonna happen”
As if Walter got taller and the room went darker
His voice changes completely at "tread lightly" too
I don't think it can be a slow descent if it's one line lol, I think it was out of nowhere
When I watched this series for the first time, hearing Hank mention Walt having 10 people killed and also bombing a nursing home really put things in perspective. And that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg for Walt's crimes.
Poisoning a kid and giving Jesse up to be a slave
He bombed a nursing home to kill 2 cartel kingpins who had murdered countless innocents. The ten witnesses knew there was no way to be paid anymore so they were going to talk as if they were never paid in the first place
@@marufio he wanted Jesse killed so that’s not really on him
Walt did a load of crimes that go unnoticed. Same goes for Jesse. People act like he’s an innocent kid when he really isn’t
@@timothypeters6694
Compared to Walt, Jesse is just a puppy in terms of crime. Walt is like Godzilla.
One of the best scenes from this show. The emotion from Hank was award winning.
the best*
in the show? this is arguably the best scene in television history
@@zeb_reynolds it's the best thing in history period. even better than the origin of life itself, that's how good it is
Walt should have pulled a Gus and said “ is this acceptable ?”
Oi! What’s up!
GO AWAY
Thank you for your GTA vids!
You have good taste in shows, sir
He wouldn't do it. He made up his mind 10 minutes ago
“My right hand to God…”
Lifts his left hand. Brilliant writing.
Vrabo Bince
Bryan Cranston heard Dean Norris practicing the line "I swear to christ, I will put you under the jail" and felt he had to adlib the "tread lightly" line so Hank didn't steal the scene. Vince Gilligan was so impressed by this that he rewrote the entire show to make Walt the protagonist.
What is this comment lol
😆
Vince Bravo at it again
Lmfao 10/10 comment
he's not the protagonist. it's a neo noir. he's a... proantagonist.
That tread lightly line was quite possibly the most gangsta shit ever spoken on television period! Hank starts off as the aggressor etc slugs Walt and by the end, Hank has no clue wtf is going on. The build-up to that scene with Hank on the bowl when the light bulb comes on! Man what a build to that moment in the garage and to have it play out the way it did was beyond brilliant, that shit was perfect imo.
Hank being the initial aggressor but Walt then outclassing him summarizes their entire character development.
@@bluevioletandlilac Good point
Good to know Hawkgirl said it first before Walter, same goes for Ron Stoppable with, “Say my name.”
@@Tesseract.2012 bro, stop pointing out some shit shows. Anything they say in breaking bad is original! Even if it's been said like 20 years ago in any show!
Yeah real gangsta, until you find out that "tread lightly" means to drive like a pussy when you're off-roading.
Absolute COLDEST moment on all of television. Both of them, amazing acting.
Nah... I can think of others, easily. Great scene, though.
I think it’s tied with, “I’m the one who knocks.” Just pure, ice cold, Heisenberg.
Amazing scene but definitely not the “COLDEST moment in TV” lol.
Brabo bince
Considering the magnitude of emotion in this scene, it's the fucking opposite of "cold" lol. How is it cold?
watching this scene..... the build up to the final line.... i swear '' tread lightly '' was not what i was expecting.... inteeeeeense.... its like 95% walter white..... then the 5% heisenberg at the end, hank sorta seeing him for the first time there... amazing acting and directing in that scene.... writing too of course. wow
***** Agreed. At this point Walter White is a man of the past.
He was in-between both
I will never forget how he sound so sad and hurt on the first two thirds of his sentence to turn into extreme threat in the end. This shows way more power and threat than just being threatening, it hits like a train.
When do you ever expect something that happens in breaking bad?
I think the way he says lightly is all Heisenberg.
This is what professional acting looks like...damn, awesome scene.
At moment 3:25 is the first time Hank meets Heisenberg. Incredible scene!!
+Athra Babylon YES!! first time I saw this, When Hank tells him to bring the kids to his place you can see Walter go into His alterEgo Heisenberg .." That is not going to happen " i got chills
I remember watching this for the first time and SO was not expecting the "tread lightly" part. Good thing I was alone in my room because I couldn't control myself from yelling "OH SHIIIIIT"
Why do you have to be alone to yell that
@@SupremeLagger cause he is obviously a kid
Did you have a mental breakdown? Did you poop your pants maybe?
Not anymore I guess.
@@ikejugend now he is a big kid
Best scene of the show, I remember when this happened live. "Tread lightly" was # 1 trending on Twitter afterwards. It blew up the net.
first time I saw this, When Hank tells him to bring the kids to his place you can see Walter go into His alterEgo Heisenberg .." That is not going to happen " i got chills
met too buddy you actually see Walt transforming into his alter ego there and then
Walter would go one to kill 200 when it was all said and done
Ye
Honestly Bryan Cranstons physical acting is on par if not better than his general acting.
The way his face drops instantly when hank suggests bringing the kids to him (trying to put himself In a position of power) is killer
This was probably one of the best shows on ɔmɐ.
You did well, Walter White!
[confused screaming]
Best show of all time in my opinion. I've never been into a TV show like I am with this one. All around incredible.
What are your thoughts on Better Call Saul?
@@lorcanzo2498 not as good as Breaking Bad, but its good enough, Saul Goodman was always the main char in my perpective, he was the real mind, and his show proves it
I think it is very good and like it a lot, but I don't think it is the best of all time.
Sopranos still number one of all time without sopranos there’s no breaking bad
Right up to the end. Seldom have I been so satisfied.
Walt "If thats true... if you don't know... who I am. Then... maybe your best course... would be to"
Heisenberg "tread lightly......"
Best way to put it
Nah, he switched to Heisenberg the moment he said “That’s not going to happen”, you can see the change in his eyes.
This smooth transition between Walt and Heisenberg is scary :D Personality switch. Every emotion was a manipulation
Whoever wrote that last line deserves 15 Emmys.
God, what an incredible scene. You even see Hank spit a little bit through their argument, and then still see it on Walt's face near the end of the scene. So you know this was definitely all one take. Just amazing.
Hank captured the emotion of the scene perfectly… Acting like the aggressor at first because he still thinks Walt’s weak but right when Heisenberg comes out it’s a complete shift of power… Hank is left just completely baffled… Great writing, great acting, truly perfect scene
I didn't believe i needed 5 seasons of Walt character growth to notice he is way taller than Hank
In the early seasons he's definitely a "small" man
@@stephencronin1080how did he grow?
@Davey Jones as Peter Parker once said 'I slouch'
@@Ror0009 I mean psychologically and posture wise. He's slouched, he never stands up to Hank etc etc
hank is still a bigger guy despite being about 170cm
This is the moment Walt realizes what a monster Heisenberg truly is.
Now even Walt himself doesn't know or has control over, what the Heisenberg would do if Hank were to try to expose him.
Hank is the One who Started it 🤣💩
Walt was actually done with his business at this point. He wasn't making any more meth. He would have been completely fine if that book wasn't in that bathroom.
Stop trying to draw a distinction. Walter and Heisenberg are the same person, he was always capbale of those things, just needed to be in the right environment long enough. This stupid read of him donning an alter ego or something is very reductive
@crim1188 it's not an alter-ego it's actually his shadow self. Which everyone has. It's basically the evil tendencies that we have from time to time that we have to keep in check. "Hesienberg" is a metaphor for it and that's why people talk about it as a separate personality. Walter White gradually gave into his shadow self throughout the show until his shadow self consumed his real personality and he became nothing but an evil egotistical genius. We see his shadow self retract in the final 2 episodes though.
What a scene my friend. To be studied in every acting academy.
I'm not your fwiend, buddy
@@PakRoc-dev you are right. Sorry pal
You are right. Sorry pal
One thing that gives huge insight to Walt’s character is the noticeable change in demeanor he takes after Hank says “bring the kids over here”. Walt was probably willing to talk more about the matter before Hank mentioned his kids. The idea of his kids finding out and more so the idea of Hank judging him as being a danger to the kids and therefor a bad father. Hurts Walt’s ego make him go into Heisenberg mode with marked by the noticeable shift in tone when he says “that is not going to happen”
this scene alone deserves an Emmy. Walt finaly revealing himself to Hank. The acting of both men, my God I miss Breaking Bad
The pain in Hanks face when he tells Walt to "rot" 😭
😔
It’s so good. He has a face that screams “I can’t believe I’m saying this to you, of all people”
It's great the way he registers the pain of hearing that Walt's cancer is back, then immediately thinks "How dare you use that as a shield."
this is probably the best of Dean Norris in any scene. the way he shows absolute bewilderment and anger at the same time is perfect
Hank thought of himself as the alpha-male of the family. He emasculated Walter on several occasions, in front of his own family. In this moment, Hank realized that walter was a much larger predator than he was.
"My right hand to god".
Walt, that's your left.
Mirrored. Look at AMC.
It's crazy how when you watch the behind the scenes of this, Dean had different ideas for his delivery and at one point tried it all weepy and heartbroken. I'm actually glad he stuck with being rageful because I think it's the most believable thing in this instance.
The build up in this scene is amazing - you think from Walt's voice when he says "if that's true...", it makes you think he's going to try and appeal to Hank emotionally...instead, Walt does a Walt and turns it into a subtle threat.
Subtle? That was the most terrifying threat that could send cold chills up anyones spines. That wasn't subtle. That was bold and all out.
Walt: tread lightly...
Me: *runs into the other room*
OH SHIIIIIITTTTT!!!
See here, Walt was actually warning Hank about the minerals he had scattered on the floor, so he is actually showing that he is caring for Hanks' well-being. Walter W
Great writing: the words 'Youre Heisenberg' were muttered... But ultimately the most memorable quote, was from the anti hero, to '..tread lightly'
Anti hero is not a word I would use to describe Walt
@amoncoda9229 yea I was leaning towards "irredeemable villain"
@@TheRealJG0 the fact anyone can even try to defend Walter is beyond me. He goes from questionable to heinous p fast.
@@amonhmcoda well at the beginning it was understandable, he was beyond desperate.
Then, when he had all he needed and then some, he became power hungry. Which is where I lost my empathy for him. Still a 10/10 character!
People calling Walt a anti hero clearly missed the point of the show and its name "Breaking Bad"
What a scene. Terrific performances from two powerhouse actors
I like how Hank immediately tells Walter that who gives a shit about family. Something that Walter has been fighting for or against the whole series. He has contemplated many times over if his actions will affect his family, and Hank serves justice in that he doesn't care if his actions will destroy his family. Just shows how conflicted and blinded Walter was throughout the whole series.
He didn't say "Who gives a shit about family," he said "Like you give a shit about family."
"like you give a shit about family"
Walt only used his family as a crotch, he didnt do it for them at all. He did it for himself and only himself because he felt good about it.
Hank in the end destroyed they’re families. He could have let it go, taken a payoff from Walt but nope he just had to be the man & he paid for it with his life
go watch the series, he didnt say that lmao
@@PhsykoOmen he used his family as a crotch???? gross
That change in tone of “tread lightly” is just inspired. What a scene.
The slight change in voice tone when Walt says tread lightly is sensational
It’s 2022 and I came back just to see this scene. Amazing 10/10 acting.
"Uh, so can you open up the garage Hank, I gotta go run some errands"
4:07 Hanks expression perfectly portrays what it looks like when someone you know almost your whole life is dead to you.
3:25 the way walt goes from sad to intimidating within a 3 second span was incredible
Yeah it’s a crazy scene. It’s like an immediate shift to Heisenberg.
I was literally on the edge of my seat when this scene was unfolding. Sensational writing.
Tread Lightly is Bryan Cranston's favorite line of the whole series. It's my favorite too, especially the way his voice drops. Absolutely Chilling.
I think the reason I love this show so much is that it never feels like Walt has plot armor or he’s immune to consequence simply by being the main character. The whole show you are on edge because you feel like Walt is constantly on the brink of being shot, blown up or imprisoned. There’s not many moments I thought “He can’t die because he’s the main character” his actions constantly scared the shit out of me and left me wondering if he would survive until the next episode. THATS good writing.
Rule number one.... just don't fuck with walt
To all the CZcams ‘detectives’ straying that Walt raises his LEFT hand when he says right…look at the corner of the screen when the AMC logo pops up: it’s backwards. This clip has obviously been mirrored to avoid CZcams copyright issues.
When Walt said “right hand to God” he raised his left hand, lol
The screen is flipped in order for the video to stay on youtube
Walt, spoken like a true BOSS!
Hanks facial expressions are class 🤣
Ikr it’s so hilarious. Very poor acting
@@Nemenis You’re clueless about acting, no offence.
When this first aired I thought Walter was threatening hank, but in actuality he was giving him genuine advice because of his role in the drug game.
Should have followed that advice.
It was a threat. Hank is a DEA agent. He doesn't need "advice" that going after drug kingpins is dangerous lmao.
@@Dreamagain11 who said he needed it tho?
It's both at the same time
@@Dreamagain11 It wasn't a threat, while Walt had become disillusioned with Skyler he still wanted his family alive and he would never directly hurt Hank. He tells Hank to "tread lightly" not just because of the measures he may put in place to stop the DEA, but because of his other enemies going against Hank (Which eventually becomes true as the neo-Nazis kill Hank).
One of the best scenes of all time.
‘My right hand to god that is all that I am’ while raising his left hand, nice detail
Actually, the episode is mirrored. You can verify using the AMC logo in the corner. It got me the first time too.
The way Brian changes his voice in that last line is top notch acting 👌
Walt saving that book from Gale and leaving it in his own house out in the open like that is pure justice for me. The way he thought he could resolve every single thing to save his ass only to make such a small yet powerful mistake, true definition of karma. Ig skyler was right „the devil is in the details.“
Also the way hank never had a little bit of suspicion of walter is beyond me, because walt always acted so obviously sketchy when hank would talk about heisenberg
Hank looked down on Walt too much to even realize
its 2023, and i still go back to this scene to see what great acting, character development, dialogue, and story telling looks like
i thought it was all over for walt but when he said those words omg he has a fighting chance. walt is such a badass
I just realized Walt says "my right hand to God" then he lifts his left hand xD
Video is mirrored, look at the AMC logo
I wish this show never ended. :(
It ended a little to early.
@BB49 no it didn't
@@intellygent-alienking5651 im with you. If they continued this show, it would go downhill. Walking dead being a great example.
It’s unreal how good these actors are
This show was so good & perfect I can’t see myself watching it for a second time how I have other shows it’s absolutely golden
Hank basically felt first hand what a body snatcher would seem like. I love the utter bewilderment of his persona when he starts talking to “Heisenberg”.
I love the foil these two were to each other. Hank's introduced as an ultra-macho dudebro type, whereas Walt's a nerdy milquetoast guy. But then Hank turns out to be way more sensitive to violence and very susceptible to PTSD, whereas Walter thrives in the drug world, violence and all.
Probably my most favorite scene in a series filled with nothing but great scenes. Epic performances from both actors here.
I fell to my knee's when Hank and Gomey fell from being shot after Walt was yelling no!
When he says my right hand to god he lifts his left. He can't even lie correctly anymore.
They literally pull you into this scene. Amazing work!!
You told me to add a lil excitment to my life lol
The way he switches from a higher pitch tone to a very deep voice when he says "to tread lightly" always gives me goosebumps
Man the last 2 seasons of this and season 4 of The Wire maybe the best seasons of TV I've seen. With Hank finding out, the family fight etc... The tension and stakes in every episode were truly nerve-wracking.
The pain in Walt's face when he says to tread lightly is incredibly profound, as is the bewilderment that is shown on Hank's face. No wonder this show is critically acclaimed. Absolutely incredible scene and unbelievably incredible series.
I love how both of these actors are not only speaking using words, but also through their eyes.
Hank transitions from anger to sadness to shocked and the way Walter allows Heisenberg to come to surface is insane. What an amazing scene!
I love when Hank says "Good, rot you son of a bitch" and his look and mouth show he is not comfortable saying it to a person he loves
At 3:24 that's when Heisenberg comes out
Walts biggest mistake was his overconfidence in his intelligence and his underestimating other people’s intelligence. He assumed it would be a normal thing to confront hank about the tracker, he didn’t realize hank had the intelligence to already put two and two together
Hank lost tho Walt’s luck helped him
You can’t blame him after a year of hank missing the most obvious hints
Huh? Walt knew Hank knew already. He visited Hank to see exactly where he stood and what he was willing to do or not do; Hank's body language and demeanor was CLEARLY abnormal and dodgy. He then turned around and confronted Hank about the tracker. Once he knew Hank was definitely against him, Walt tried to create sympathy for himself as well as further test Hank by saying his cancer was back. When that didn't do anything, Walt smugly asserted he wouldn't be around anyway to press charges. Etc. Walt's ego also couldn't stand the thought of simply letting Hank's suspicions fade away, or that Hank might just eventually give up (covert and unstated gaslighting), both due to the fact he was out of the game at that point.
I don't know why Walt cut with the bullshit so quickly. He could've just kept denying he was Heinsenberg.
@@noahmatthew6658 You would never suspect your soft spoken brother-in-law who was a HS chem teacher to be a drug lord.
It's only easy for us to see as viewers of the show.
3:05 right hand to god, and raises his left hand. 😆i can't believe I caught that
I like the way Walt's eyes blink furiously at the mention of family. Like the old Walt, Dr Jekyll if you will, is trying one last time to break through, but Mr Hyde has the ascendancy.
For the thousandth time, Walter and Heisenberg are not two personalities fighting for control like in some pulp novel. Heisenberg is nothing more than Walter White's professional name - Walter White, the man in "Pilot," was always capable of these things.
@@dsch0 I know it's ridiculous, people don't put on a different persona when they go to work in the morning, and metaphorically shrug it off when they get home at night, power doesn't corrupt, and human's never regret their actions, and the results therein, that's just for the pulp novels. I always remember thinking, in the first episode, when Walt was cleaning the wing (fender), of that car, this man is frustrated, he's definitely going get lung cancer and become a drug crime boss, it was the way he waxed on, and waxed off, (whoops I'm doing it again).
Phenomenal in every aspect, writing, acting, directing, editing, and the sound design is astonishingly good as well.
It's been said before but Dean Norris's acting is incredible in this scene.
This is the most intense dialog scene in TV history.
It sure was watching it the first time not knowing where the final season was going.
Hank made fun of Walter for so long and in this scene it was Hank that was the butt of the joke. I think the thing that hurt Hank the most was, his pride and the fact that Walter got the best of him.
I was wondering why he lifted his left arm when he was saying "my right arm to god" then i realised the clip was mirrored when i looked at the AMC logo
Among so many great moments on this show, this may be the best.
What struck me the most about the episodes of Hank knowing was the look in his eyes. So hollow and sad
I think Hank made up his mind when Walter called Gustavo Gus. It confirmed his suspicion of him having to do with his murder.
You can see the exact moment that he goes from Walter to Heisenberg, pretending to be emotionally distressed to a calm rage shits scary ash
Bravo to Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris. They managed to get you to switch allegiances between them both as the program goes on. Brilliant character development. 👏
