yeah this was such a genius move by him, everyone was like omg where is he where is he and then the camera shows the drink indicating that's where his hiding. beautiful directing. wish they explained how he got to the car on the beegining of the next episode tho, maybe he turned into a car or something?
S F even tho youre right, there are other greater scenes. The thing with this one is that when Heisenbergs about to give himself up (thats why the police is there), he realizes there are still loose ends because of him and he emerges right back into action. Plus the theme song just fits perfectly to his "rising from the ashes" moment.
That’s the power of being in his energy, even at the end he was a fire burning and consuming. In the end he died but his legacy became one way to be immortal

The reason the whiskey wasn't finished metaphorically represents how Walter White isn't finished yet. The theme song fades away almost singing like “I have one last job to do. " It's brilliant.

A lot of people don’t know this, but This is the last scene ever filmed for breaking bad. They had to do it in one take, as Brian Cranston transmogrified his body into a whisky tumbler, and could not change back afterwards. Truly some monumental story writing here
I loved the way Heisenberg was "reactivated" in Granite State. At this point Walt had been in hiding for about half a year. He had given up on his empire, his family, and himself. He was ready to turn himself in and close his life. But as soon as he realizes that if he were to go out now, his legacy wouldn't be as some kind of legendary meth kingpin, but instead as some sad little man who faded out of existence, Heisenberg is "reactivated" to finish the job, and go out like the badass he wants to be remembered as.
Just think that this was the point Walt had given up hope, turning himself in. Then, he sees people he once admired basically mocking his intelligence on the company he himself set in motion...and the last bit of ego from Heisenberg kicks in. He just can’t go out like that. Wonderful turning point to deal with unfinished business.
And you can really read all of that just from his eyes. Cranston really gave his best on this character. You can see the definitive death of Walter White, the death of every last hope for redemption by just looking at his facial expression. And the music fits just perfectly...
Walt is angry at first since they diminished his contribution, but that's not why he decided not to give up. The real reason is at 1:20 she reminds him that Walter White is long gone, he is Heisenberg now, and giving up is something only Walter White would do. So instead of saying that Walt is pissed so he made a move, I prefer to read this scene as Walt motivated by her.
I’m pretty sure he’s always hated them since their company got rich off of his success in his research but never had the guts to admit to them or himself until he broke bad.
So many comments about how perfect and badass and artfully done this scene is, and then I come across this thread and just start chuckling uncontrollably. Well done!
The entire show is supposed to show the change from Walter White into the pure-evil Heisenberg, so for the show's main theme to kick in as soon as Gretchen says that the kind sweet man we once knew is gone, it's the moment you realize the show has completed what it set out to do. Absolutely brilliant use of music.
And with that look of incandescent rage and intention in his eyes he knew (and we knew) he wasn’t done yet. It’s amazing how Bryan Cranston could go from utterly defeated to passionately determined in a matter of seconds. James Ganfolfini would be proud.
It never ceases to amaze me how one little event in the BB universe can lead to unimaginable consequences..like Hank picking up that book, Skylar finding his second phone, and Walt just happening to be there at that very moment in time to see a flash of that interview...none of what happened after would have occurred had the barman not changed channels at that moment in time..the way one little thing sets in motion a chain of events..
I think walter giving ricin to kill gus fring was also one of the most significant moment in the show.only after this moment walter and jesse’s friendly relation took a turn for worse
Man, seriously, they could not have picked a better time to use the original full theme song. He's in a bar, and he vows his last revenge before making a getaway from the cops. Meanwhile, music straight out of a New Mexico 21st century western is haunting your ears the whole time. God, what a great piece of art this is.
This scene will never fail to give me goosebumps bro, I remember watching this scene at 4 am cuz I couldn’t sleep because of how amazing this show is. Truly the greatest show of all time
Hahaha Same.. Saw this scene around 3-4am and to me it’s the greatest scene in Breaking Bad, the score, the stakes, the hurt ego, the change in demeanor, the anger, the information that blue meth was still being produced, the raid, the escape
That's the kind of guy he was, even when he was at Dennys on his birthday and the girl said all he needed to do for a free meal was show a valid ID and he did but he still left the girl a tip :)
@@poliwagpi4554 They could’ve done more stuff to produce another season I’m absolutely sure. But I’m glad they didn’t ‘cause the quality would have went down inevitably
@Con. D Oriano I feel like Vince Gilligan would have been able to figure out a way for Walt to tie all loose ends and finally finish things off with Jessie before dying in a sixth season of Breaking Bad. However I feel like this was the right choice in the end.
Playing the full theme at the end of the penultimate episode was the perfect time to do it. It's a way to say that we've come so far in the show and that the last stand is about to be made. In other words, shit just got real
My favorite scene out of all 5 seasons. Just when Walt has thrown in the towel and decided to surrender, his ego and pride pull him back for one last mission. Gives me chills every time... Bravo
Anyone notice Walt was at least courteous to leave a tip for his drink before leaving? What a class act! Much like after Mike kicked the hell out of Walt, he still thanked the latter for buying him a drink. The niceties must be observed.
No flying dragon or extraterrestrial war just a a guy sitting in bar alone watching tv and don't tell me this isn't the most bad-ass moments in tv history period.
It goes in this order, shock, sadness, hatred, anger and then determination. He knows what he has to do, and nobody is going to stop a man with nothing left to lose but his own life.
This show went a long way, from tuco, to Hector, to don elario, to Juan bolsa, to Gus, then finally to jack and his gang and the way it ended was just beautiful.
@@moz7777 idk man, I remember getting a few goosebumps when Walt said he was sorry for Jane’s death. Even the “pointless” episodes have a good chunk of merit to them
Today i finished watching breaking And i swear on God This scene and the theme song in the background sent chills down my spine It couldn't have been more beautiful than this
What gave me goosebumps watching this scene was the theme music playing for the first time outside of the title and credits. The entire run of the show they saved it until this ending scene before the finale.
If Walter didn't watch this than Todds uncle he's crew and Lydia's lives would have been spared and Jesse would have been stuck cooking meth down at the basement
Playing the Breaking Bad theme wasn't even in the script. A fan with a guitar recognized Bryan Cranston, and he just decided to play the theme. Vince just left that in. Bravo, Vince
Why not? Shakespeare was a pop entertainer in his day. Many famous artists and architects from the early Renaissance and before viewed themselves as, essentially, craftsmen, not hoity-toity Artistes. If it speaks to the human condition, and is so well-done, and reflects something about the time, then yeah. I think it'll still be watched and talked about in a century.
1:20 I never could have imagined bass notes being so badass and making me uncontrollably smile and bop my head like a jedi mind-trick was just placed on me but this scene is too perfect to resist
Consider this: he has spent a year in hiding, giving up all hope on his family, and he has clearly lost it, hence he wants to turn himself in. But this little scene on tv of his former business partners reminds him of what he stood for, it brings back all the inferiority complex of being left out, of being under others, tuco, gus, the students in his class. He let his children's birthright strip away from him once, that's why he was so driven to build an empire, even if it were built on a pile of bodies and out of meth money. Now in this scene, he sees this happening for a second time in his life, his work, his work of art, his product still being sold and someone else making a profit off it. 1. Walt is hurt seeing Gretchen and Elliot taking credit for his work 2. As the commentary fades and music kicks in, we hear "reports of his product still out there" This drives Walt over the edge and into Heisenberg mode again. He immediately goes back on his decision to turn himself in and wants his control back. Such a small thing to consider but the writing here is brilliant
@@oremitkovic6596 yes that's sooo true cause everyone here just says that. It's true he's the biggest villain in the show and he was made so by the other little ones.
Nah we wont. Tbh that where some pretty good television shows way before breaking bad. Wich isn't even the best dramatic series ever made, its the sopranos
I think three things went on in Walt's mind that made him return to NM: 1. Gretchen&Elliot created a fund for victims of drug abuse. He realised he could use them to give money to his family this way. 2. Most importantly: his pride was deeply injured when he heard the lies pronounced by them about his contribution to the firm. He wanted to teach them a lesson. 3. Finally, he heard his meth was still being produced. He wanted to find out about that, take revenge on Jack's gang and free Jesse, if he was still alive.
@@CompaRipperALV_CDB Actually, that was a ploy to get Jessie out in the open. Otherwise, they never would've brought him out of his cage. It was reverse psychology to get Jack defensive enough to want to prove he isn't partners with Jessie.
I thought nothing would ever beat “I AM THE DANGER.” Then I didn’t think anything would beat “You’re Heisenberg… You’re god damn right.” And then this happens. Absolutely the greatest show start to finish ever.
I had never watched breaking bad. I always assumed it was just overrated. The only reason I started watching the show is because I lost a bet. It was the best bet I ever lost
I always knew this show and I thought it wasnt for me,my friend told me to watch it and I still didnt, I never liked these type of shows or movies, but when I bought netflix I was looking what to watch and when I saw breaking bad I was like boring than I countinued looking, didnt find anything so I watched one episode of BB and now its my favorite show of all time
Sad thing is he really did start off with the best intentions- he thought he was dying and just wanted his family to be financially stable. But he got so caught up in it. The wealth, the power.
I would say that he was simultaneously Walt and Heisenberg at least since leaving Gray Matter. Given his penchant for evil that we witnessed in BB, I'd say there is a strong possibility he might have even been born Heisenberg. The road to an inevitable hell was paved with some good intentions, I suppose.
I love how walt's ego genuinely never ends in the whole show. He probably had little-no intention of getting that direct revenge on elliot and gretchen had it not been for this tv interview. That means this probably fuelled his desire to get the money back from Jack and the neo-nazis, save Jesse, and then give the money to elliot and gretchen to give to walt jr and holly. All these 'redeeming' acts fuelled by yet again, his ego.
If you pay attention closely on second 48, he is touching the whiskey glass, but at the end you can clearly see there are no finger prints and a tissue left. He clearly cleaned his finger prints before fleeing. This attention to level of details is just amazing.
@@moonstrike100 I have zero knowledge on criminal investigation. But in almost most of the movies (e.g. Pulp Fiction) when they want to get rid of evidence they rub it with a piece of tissue or a paper towel and I assume the pattern will be gone.
But they already know Walt is Heisenberg lol They only use fingerprints to identify suspects but everyone already knows who Heisenberg is so leaving fingerprints makes no difference
I feel like Walter just wanted to spite this idea that he was only ever selfish, that he would die a monster. So he got the money to his family, killed the people that murdered his brother in law and saved his partner.
"He contributed nothing to the company but the name" "He was a great, brilliant man" Gretchen and Elliot are two of the shittiest characters in the show for this scene alone
They weren't just doing it out of hatred. You need to understand that it's not good for your business to be associated with someone who eventually becomes a dangerous criminal.
I think that's one of the ironies i feel like. Walt was always lucky in his way of succeeding and overcoming whatever obstacle was in his way. No matter how hard things became he ultimately got whatever he wanted. Jesse on the other hand, quite the opposite. Jesse never wanted anything walt gained, other than money in the beginning. But as time went on, he always got things on hand he never wished. He was pulled and dragged into trouble, pain and suffering, being the truly unlucky person in end, damaged and traumatized the most by walt's actions.
@nuun0010 Well, but Jesse made some huge mistakes in not trusting Walt. Walt was also right about Gus Fring and that they had to kill him. Also und ultimately Mike made a huge mistake with insulting Walt instead of giving him credits for what he achieved.
Mccmurdo My favorite is when Walter sneaks into Skylars house, she hangs up the phone and gives him a few minutes to say his final words to her. When she says "If I hear you say one more time you did this for me and the kids" and he cuts her off with "I did it for me." And she is shocked that he finally admits to his selfish reasons for everything he's done. He finally came clean. Man such a gripping, heartbreaking scene, I cried. Then he goes to hold his baby girl one last time. Fuck man, best show ever made BY FAR!!!
+Josh Hernandez Walter White would never kill someone. Walter White was never selfish. Heisenberg would kill for money. Heisenberg is extremely selfish and only cares for himself. I believe that Walter felt cheated on. He kept that anger boiling down for decades, and when he finally heard he had cancer? All that anger made him make bad decisions. I agree with you, that scene was great. But here's something you might not have thought of. I found it extremely interesting with the way Breaking Bad was created. Here it is - After *Walter* broke down in the Crawl Space, the end of the episode consists of him lying there. After *Heisenberg* took care of Jack, he was just lying there, just like the crawl space. I believe this was completely intentional, showing that Walter was not a bad man, but his other side, Heisenberg, was.
There's never been a TV show, and only a few movies, that reached "Breaking Bad"''s level of intensity, realness, horror. This scene is a quintessential example. Every cinematic element working together perfectly to chill, fascinate, repulse, entrance the viewer in this story. Unbelievable.
Dave Porter's music was the unsung critical background character of Breaking Bad. Not just in the title card but throughout the show. I've never heard anything like it before.
George Coventry Uuuuuhhh, no. Walt is a sick, prideful, and murderous man. He is not comparable to most people. Most people are never in situations where their psyche and morals can become so broken as Walt’s
I don't know whose idea was it whether Vince or Dave to have it used specifically on this scene but to me it was pure genius. Not once the song, as far as I can remember, was used in the series except for the intro and credit, and of all the seasons and the plot that had led to this moment, having an extended cinematic-ish rendition to finally conclude White-Heisenberg is just.. brilliant.
I like how Walt, even though he was 52 years old w/ cancer at the time, basically turned into a master stealth tactician at the end, being able to avoid all law enforcement looking for him, country wide, even while in public, and taking out a whole criminal group by himself.
this scene and the scene with jessie in s01e04 when he is reminiscing of his childhood w/ the drawings are my favorites. the music of that scene is sooo good. watched it several times for the OST alone .
Sukka This scene really was classic. It could have been in so many good shows and movies that preceded it. The timing and the direction was very well done. It almost reminds me of the way Frank Miller built up to the Joker's return with the news on tv.
It's a really cool scene indeed, but I still don't get how he's supposed to get out of there. First, he calls the cops, giving up himself. Then, the cops arrive, but by that time he's snuck into one of the cars parking around and the keys magically dropped in his lap. OK, so far so good. But what then? He drove back to his old cottage, took his money and whatever else he needed for his final trip, went back on the same road and conveniently out of the state? Are you telling me that the police did not put roadblocks to check every car leaving on every road leading out as soon as they suspected they had Heisenberg? They didn't check the cars nearby, didn't follow the stolen car's tracks to the cottage? While it had to happen because of the plot, I have serious doubts about the reality of this scene, and even more so the last episode. How does he enter the Schwarz manor undetected again? How does he contact Skinny Pete & Badger and the weapons expert guy? How does he enter Skyler's new home with the police around? And how on earth does he know where to find Jack's gang? For all we know he'd never been there...
This is the best series ever created. Period. I binge watched it 3 years ago when I was trapped in South Chicago. Now I am a free American in TX. I’m going to watch it again from start to finish.
Technically that talk show guy just saved Walt’s family from going to prison, saved Jessie from being tortured to death by the nazis and allowed Walt’s family to get the money just by reawakening Walt with the interview

I loved the way Heisenberg was "reactivated" in Granite State. At this point Walt had been in hiding for about half a year. He had given up on his empire, his family, and himself. He was ready to turn himself in and close his life. But as soon as he realizes that if he were to go out now, his legacy wouldn't be as some kind of legendary meth kingpin, but instead as some sad little man who faded out of existence, Heisenberg is "reactivated" to finish the job, and go out like the badass he wants to be remembered as.

@@Songs-lr4wt 1 year = 12 months. Walt was in hiding for 6 months. 6 months is half of 12 months. 6 months = half a year.

Walt won, Heinsenberg won, he achieved his goal in the end and that's why no matter what people say about him, he was amazing.
They undermined his work, without his research their company wouldn't be a thing, he probably felt terribly disrespected
Walt is angry at first since they diminished his contribution, but that's not why he decided not to give up. The real reason is at 1:20 she reminds him that Walter White is long gone, he is Heisenberg now, and giving up is something only Walter White would do.

The entire show is supposed to show the change from Walter White into the pure-evil Heisenberg, so for the show's main theme to kick in as soon as Gretchen says that the kind sweet man we once knew is gone, it's the moment you realize the show has completed what it set out to do. Absolutely brilliant use of music.
And with that look of incandescent rage and intention in his eyes he knew (and we knew) he wasn’t done yet. It’s amazing how Bryan Cranston could go from utterly defeated to passionately determined in a matter of seconds. James Ganfolfini would be proud.
Cranston and Gandolfini are the gods of tv series
“May I speak to the ones in charge of the Walter White case?”.May I ask who is calling ?” ..”Walter White”. ... 😩😂

He left before his glass was empty - he wasn't done yet.
Nice catch actually lol.
No more half measures.
This bothered me a lot.. I never understood why they cut to the scene of the glass
also the paper swan means it was his swan song :D
One last shot
It never ceases to amaze me how one little event in the BB universe can lead to unimaginable consequences..like Hank picking up that book, Skylar finding his second phone, and Walt just happening to be there at that very moment in time to see a flash of that interview...none of what happened after would have occurred had the barman not changed channels at that moment in time..the way one little thing sets in motion a chain of events..
I think walter giving ricin to kill gus fring was also one of the most significant moment in the show.only after this moment walter and jesse’s friendly relation took a turn for worse
2:09 this is the exact moment Walter became a glass of whiskey

You know shit's getting serious when the theme music starts playing
Hey your picture looks very pretty. Can you tell me where you got it from or send it to me ?
@@crescent9629 no saladknight he will not.
@@Quakeh ok
Man, seriously, they could not have picked a better time to use the original full theme song. He's in a bar, and he vows his last revenge before making a getaway from the cops. Meanwhile, music straight out of a New Mexico 21st century western is haunting your ears the whole time. God, what a great piece of art this is.
I agree, if they had ever used the theme song in the show before, this scene wouldn't have been nearly as chilling
The intro music is used because it marks the beginning of the end
yup, the only time it was used outside of the intro and it is so incredibly epic I am jumping up and down on my seat everytime I watch this scene.

It's the ONLY time the theme plays inside the show apart from intro 💓 and reminds us what are we seeing 😍

This scene will never fail to give me goosebumps bro, I remember watching this scene at 4 am cuz I couldn’t sleep because of how amazing this show is. Truly the greatest show of all time
fucking hell, it's 4 am right now for me and I can't sleep.
Wow, 4 am for me to
Hahaha Same..
Saw this scene around 3-4am and to me it’s the greatest scene in Breaking Bad, the score, the stakes, the hurt ego, the change in demeanor, the anger, the information that blue meth was still being produced, the raid, the escape
Nice
When the cops pull up, you just immediately know: He's not there anymore.
and, if he is still there, he has a shotgun, ready to kill everyone.
Ettore Reventon that's actually not a thing that Walter would do...
He wouldn't kill cops.
Ettore Reventon What is he, the Omar of Breaking Bad? xD
@@ettorereventon2667 more like a machine gun set to auto fire
I’m just glad Walt paid for his drink
XanEdits Lol, I never saw the money on the table
Look closely. It's a $20 bill rumor has it
Yes he did!
Kelly Montgomery it was a Benjamin.... Walt doesn't know what 20's are lol
That's the kind of guy he was, even when he was at Dennys on his birthday and the girl said all he needed to do for a free meal was show a valid ID and he did but he still left the girl a tip :)
Bro remembered he had one last door to knock....
Walt's probably thinking, "Discredit me from my legacy, the company I founded? I will knock on all the doors before I depart from this world!"
Imagine if this was the last episode of season 5, setting up season 6.
there would absolutely not be enough content in just one swansong for an entire season.
@@poliwagpi4554 They could’ve done more stuff to produce another season I’m absolutely sure. But I’m glad they didn’t ‘cause the quality would have went down inevitably
@Con. D Oriano I feel like Vince Gilligan would have been able to figure out a way for Walt to tie all loose ends and finally finish things off with Jessie before dying in a sixth season of Breaking Bad. However I feel like this was the right choice in the end.
Playing the full theme at the end of the penultimate episode was the perfect time to do it. It's a way to say that we've come so far in the show and that the last stand is about to be made. In other words, shit just got real
im already picturing vince and peter doing the same for bcs
@Gonk how bout have 3d saul be the main antagonist throughout the rest of the season and have that play when he shows up
actually he's about to set it off
Amazing
Yeah man his brother getting killed isn’t “shit just got real” it’s actually this scene where he flees from the cops
My favorite scene out of all 5 seasons. Just when Walt has thrown in the towel and decided to surrender, his ego and pride pull him back for one last mission. Gives me chills every time... Bravo
His ego and pride was his rise and downfall but he uses it one more time to finish things up.
The thing is also he realizes he can use Gretchen and Elliot to pay his family
just when I think I’m out… they PULL ME BACK IN
he had gotten away with it.....
bravo..... Vince?
It's actually insane how every decision the writers and directors took on this TV show was the correct one, especially in the latter seasons.
Latter
I think they missed out on one thing. As Walt lay dying, his last action should have been trying his meth for the first time, and just smiling.

To me the most chilling scene was Walter laying in the crawl space under his house laughing maniacally, and the look of horror on Skyler's face.
That scene genuinely freaked me out the first time I watched it.
Don’t forget that thumping, heartbeat noise. That sounds really freaked me out

Anyone notice Walt was at least courteous to leave a tip for his drink before leaving? What a class act!
Much like after Mike kicked the hell out of Walt, he still thanked the latter for buying him a drink.
The niceties must be observed.
How are some ppl saying better call Saul is better than this...this is unbeatable and have some many wow moments
Some episodes of Better Call Saul were indeed better than certain episodes of Breaking Bad but Breaking Bad was a better series as a whole.
One of my friends told me breaking bad was boring. We don't talk anymore.

What gave me goosebumps watching this scene was the theme music playing for the first time outside of the title and credits. The entire run of the show they saved it until this ending scene before the finale.
I never knew his meth-making was on the fuckin 10 oclock News
It never fails to give me chills and goosebumps. Even in the dead ass heat of summer.

Dude great catch on that. I didn't realize until you mentioned it. I love guitar twang right as they pan to the unattended whiskey.

Nah it's ok Good Riddance to them.

I heard that having Eliot and His wife in the last episode was a request from a dying kid with cancer.
And lydia would have killed walter's family

Playing the Breaking Bad theme wasn't even in the script. A fan with a guitar recognized Bryan Cranston, and he just decided to play the theme. Vince just left that in. Bravo, Vince
1:30 In his mind, "I should probably hire the 2 best hitmen in mississippi"
I love how he included Badger and Skinny Pete in his plan against Gretchen and Elliott.
I wonder if people will watch this show in hundreds of years and analyze it the way we analyze art from hundreds of years ago.
Why not? Shakespeare was a pop entertainer in his day.
Many famous artists and architects from the early Renaissance and before viewed themselves as, essentially, craftsmen, not hoity-toity Artistes.
If it speaks to the human condition, and is so well-done, and reflects something about the time, then yeah. I think it'll still be watched and talked about in a century.
I suspect mankind will have bigger fish to fry.
That’s what I was thinking. Imagine kids learning about it in school as one of the best shows ever created.
They better
No, because there's already better shows before it, a lot of similar type of shows that are better too like The Wire and The Sopranos.
This scene really got to me, it marks the beginning of the end.
he beginning of the end happened long ago xD
Or maybe becuase this was the second to last episode in the series.

Not just that. This is the first and only time in the entire show that the full theme plays.
@@arthurmorgan670 Arthur i need muneh. Arthur ine more God dam score
Consider this: he has spent a year in hiding, giving up all hope on his family, and he has clearly lost it, hence he wants to turn himself in. But this little scene on tv of his former business partners reminds him of what he stood for, it brings back all the inferiority complex of being left out, of being under others, tuco, gus, the students in his class. He let his children's birthright strip away from him once, that's why he was so driven to build an empire, even if it were built on a pile of bodies and out of meth money. Now in this scene, he sees this happening for a second time in his life, his work, his work of art, his product still being sold and someone else making a profit off it.
1. Walt is hurt seeing Gretchen and Elliot taking credit for his work
2. As the commentary fades and music kicks in, we hear "reports of his product still out there"
This drives Walt over the edge and into Heisenberg mode again. He immediately goes back on his decision to turn himself in and wants his control back. Such a small thing to consider but the writing here is brilliant
Yep, products which were being cooked by his former partner, tortured and unhappy :L

I think three things went on in Walt's mind that made him return to NM:
1. Gretchen&Elliot created a fund for victims of drug abuse. He realised he could use them to give money to his family this way.
2. Most importantly: his pride was deeply injured when he heard the lies pronounced by them about his contribution to the firm. He wanted to teach them a lesson.
3. Finally, he heard his meth was still being produced. He wanted to find out about that, take revenge on Jack's gang and free Jesse, if he was still alive.
3hutp freeing Jesse was in the moment. Remember, he left Jessie to Jack so he could die.
@@whaleping yep he thought they had made him a partner
@@CompaRipperALV_CDB Actually, that was a ploy to get Jessie out in the open. Otherwise, they never would've brought him out of his cage. It was reverse psychology to get Jack defensive enough to want to prove he isn't partners with Jessie.

Vince Gilligan is a genius. He perfectly used the theme for the right moment.

This episode? If I'm not wrong he directed just a few episodes
@@crimson414 it's directed by Peter Gould yo
The irony is that it is precisely the same ego who committed such atrocities is also the same ego that made everything right(as best he could).
Sad thing is he really did start off with the best intentions- he thought he was dying and just wanted his family to be financially stable. But he got so caught up in it. The wealth, the power.
Like Big Smoke in GTA: SA. “I got caught up in the money, the power.”
I would say that he was simultaneously Walt and Heisenberg at least since leaving Gray Matter. Given his penchant for evil that we witnessed in BB, I'd say there is a strong possibility he might have even been born Heisenberg. The road to an inevitable hell was paved with some good intentions, I suppose.

I was thinking the same thing. Step on these guys capes and it's over. lol.
I love how walt's ego genuinely never ends in the whole show. He probably had little-no intention of getting that direct revenge on elliot and gretchen had it not been for this tv interview. That means this probably fuelled his desire to get the money back from Jack and the neo-nazis, save Jesse, and then give the money to elliot and gretchen to give to walt jr and holly. All these 'redeeming' acts fuelled by yet again, his ego.
"it´s bad breaking time". and turns himself into whiskey.
If you pay attention closely on second 48, he is touching the whiskey glass, but at the end you can clearly see there are no finger prints and a tissue left. He clearly cleaned his finger prints before fleeing. This attention to level of details is just amazing.
but wouldn't the tissue have the fingerprints?
@@moonstrike100 I have zero knowledge on criminal investigation. But in almost most of the movies (e.g. Pulp Fiction) when they want to get rid of evidence they rub it with a piece of tissue or a paper towel and I assume the pattern will be gone.
But why would he remove his fingerprints? He did call the cops on himself. Erasing the fingerprints would do him no good

They only use fingerprints to identify suspects but everyone already knows who Heisenberg is so leaving fingerprints makes no difference

The restraint to use the theme THIS ONE TIME in the series is absolutely insane.
The timing and the way the theme music was used in this scene was just perfect. Gives me goosebumps every single time.
I feel like Walter just wanted to spite this idea that he was only ever selfish, that he would die a monster. So he got the money to his family, killed the people that murdered his brother in law and saved his partner.
*Former partner 😢

@ABTV this the only time the theme song plays in the show instead of only at the start and end
In a way he got exactly what he wanted
Install a Friend HE WON
I think that's one of the ironies i feel like. Walt was always lucky in his way of succeeding and overcoming whatever obstacle was in his way. No matter how hard things became he ultimately got whatever he wanted. Jesse on the other hand, quite the opposite. Jesse never wanted anything walt gained, other than money in the beginning. But as time went on, he always got things on hand he never wished. He was pulled and dragged into trouble, pain and suffering, being the truly unlucky person in end, damaged and traumatized the most by walt's actions.
Turtle Wave nope!
well jesse is traumatized most by walts actions because all the others he traumatized are dead except his family
@nuun0010 Well, but Jesse made some huge mistakes in not trusting Walt. Walt was also right about Gus Fring and that they had to kill him. Also und ultimately Mike made a huge mistake with insulting Walt instead of giving him credits for what he achieved.
I can watch this scene every day lol
Still can't believe this was the only time the extended was used in the whole series. Loved it
Just finished Breaking Bad and wow, what an amazing show.
This is my second favourite scene, after the end scene in crawl space
Mccmurdo My favorite is when Walter sneaks into Skylars house, she hangs up the phone and gives him a few minutes to say his final words to her. When she says "If I hear you say one more time you did this for me and the kids" and he cuts her off with "I did it for me." And she is shocked that he finally admits to his selfish reasons for everything he's done. He finally came clean. Man such a gripping, heartbreaking scene, I cried. Then he goes to hold his baby girl one last time. Fuck man, best show ever made BY FAR!!!
+Josh Hernandez Walter White would never kill someone. Walter White was never selfish. Heisenberg would kill for money. Heisenberg is extremely selfish and only cares for himself. I believe that Walter felt cheated on. He kept that anger boiling down for decades, and when he finally heard he had cancer? All that anger made him make bad decisions.
I agree with you, that scene was great. But here's something you might not have thought of. I found it extremely interesting with the way Breaking Bad was created. Here it is -
After *Walter* broke down in the Crawl Space, the end of the episode consists of him lying there.
After *Heisenberg* took care of Jack, he was just lying there, just like the crawl space.
I believe this was completely intentional, showing that Walter was not a bad man, but his other side, Heisenberg, was.
Yes, for me crawl space is Walter finally snapping and Heisenberg "taking over" if you like.
Crawl Space's ending is one of the greatest scenes of all time. Just unbelievably good.
The end scene of Crawl Space has to be one of the scariest scenes in any movie or TV series I have ever seen.
There's never been a TV show, and only a few movies, that reached "Breaking Bad"''s level of intensity, realness, horror. This scene is a quintessential example. Every cinematic element working together perfectly to chill, fascinate, repulse, entrance the viewer in this story. Unbelievable.

Dave Porter's music was the unsung critical background character of Breaking Bad. Not just in the title card but throughout the show. I've never heard anything like it before.
I finished this show on 29th September 2023 without knowing the last episode aired exactly 10 years ago.
the most badass time to use the soundtrack
notice he left a tip. Heisenberg is not truly evil.
He is both good...and evil...depending on the situation and the different factors involved. (same as most people, if not all people)
George Coventry Uuuuuhhh, no. Walt is a sick, prideful, and murderous man. He is not comparable to most people. Most people are never in situations where their psyche and morals can become so broken as Walt’s
He tipped the waitress $100 when he returned to New Mexico on his birthday
Noble Demon is a trope for a reason. Being a vicious human being and paying one’s tab can, in fact, go hand-in-hand.
He probably didn’t want to stick around for the change...
I don't know whose idea was it whether Vince or Dave to have it used specifically on this scene but to me it was pure genius. Not once the song, as far as I can remember, was used in the series except for the intro and credit, and of all the seasons and the plot that had led to this moment, having an extended cinematic-ish rendition to finally conclude White-Heisenberg is just.. brilliant.
I like how Walt, even though he was 52 years old w/ cancer at the time, basically turned into a master stealth tactician at the end, being able to avoid all law enforcement looking for him, country wide, even while in public, and taking out a whole criminal group by himself.

I've never noticed this video. I was searching everywhere for this scene on CZcams. One of the best scenes in TV History.
King Kunta Scarface profile picture? You sir know about what constitutes greatness.
this scene and the scene with jessie in s01e04 when he is reminiscing of his childhood w/ the drawings are my favorites. the music of that scene is sooo good. watched it several times for the OST alone .
Dear Rain, thats a scene where he was talking to his son, and his son told him he hates him
Sukka This scene really was classic. It could have been in so many good shows and movies that preceded it. The timing and the direction was very well done. It almost reminds me of the way Frank Miller built up to the Joker's return with the news on tv.
It's a really cool scene indeed, but I still don't get how he's supposed to get out of there. First, he calls the cops, giving up himself. Then, the cops arrive, but by that time he's snuck into one of the cars parking around and the keys magically dropped in his lap. OK, so far so good. But what then? He drove back to his old cottage, took his money and whatever else he needed for his final trip, went back on the same road and conveniently out of the state? Are you telling me that the police did not put roadblocks to check every car leaving on every road leading out as soon as they suspected they had Heisenberg? They didn't check the cars nearby, didn't follow the stolen car's tracks to the cottage? While it had to happen because of the plot, I have serious doubts about the reality of this scene, and even more so the last episode. How does he enter the Schwarz manor undetected again? How does he contact Skinny Pete & Badger and the weapons expert guy? How does he enter Skyler's new home with the police around? And how on earth does he know where to find Jack's gang? For all we know he'd never been there...
This is the best series ever created. Period. I binge watched it 3 years ago when I was trapped in South Chicago. Now I am a free American in TX. I’m going to watch it again from start to finish.
It's definitely one of the best, no doubt.
Technically that talk show guy just saved Walt’s family from going to prison, saved Jessie from being tortured to death by the nazis and allowed Walt’s family to get the money just by reawakening Walt with the interview
