Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Walt being paternal to Jesse whilst manipulating him so effectively just sends a chill up my spine.
Me too bro omg
I know. As the series progressed, I began to see Jesse as having a better moral compass that Walter.
The glazin is wild
Jesse was a rat so it's okay
At first he seemed that way, but NO he wasn't after you got to know him. @@Justinhomii
A Chekov’s Gun that took the entire series to be fired. Magnificent
Not really. It was used in Bmineral's story line.
@@ninjaguyYT No it wasn’t. We only thought it was but it was a different poison
@@ninjaguyYT lily of the valley poisoned Bmineral
@@auroraSLAP yes it was. Ricin was used in the STORYLINE for him. I never said "ricin was used on him".
@@utkygt5151 yup, I'm well aware.
It’s kinda amazing how ricin is present throughout the series, it starts with Tuco, with them wanting to use it on him, but it’s not until the very last episode of the show that we actually see someone poisoned with ricin. Such good writing.
chekhov's gun
Bravo whoever wrote the series!
Cool
@@31redorange08yes
what about brock
I just realised that Walt says ricin takes 48-72 hours to kill someone, so him and Jesse actually escaped Tuco way faster the way they did than they would’ve done if he took it
it gives flu symptoms so they were likely going to try and escape while Tuco was dying. Before the Twins could show up.
Hank would have found them before Tuco would have died from the Ricin
@@Pokemanmon No. It can have a delayed onset of 36 hours. As in no symptoms at all before that point.
Think about it, tuco might not have kidnapped Walt and Jesse because he thinks he has the flu, and he wouldn’t have done any deals. Then Walt and Jesse just has to wait, and Hank would have never known anyone named Tuco Salamanca
@@sevenpolar3483pretty sure cousins were to arrive the same day he took the ricin
Ricin is the most tragic character ever written. Bravo Vince

Ricin beans?
Jessie figuring out Walt’s plan to poison Brock, to the letter, was spot on. But for Walt to admit that Gus was “10 steps ahead of him” in spite of his huge ego is the first clue that Walt was responsible for it. Bravo, Vince.
Except he wasn't. It wasn't ricin, it was lily of the valley. Homeboy just needed the ricin for later
I think you misremembered it. Jesse was the one who thought it could be ricin. Was actually Lily of the Valley.
@@FoxesInBoots lily of the valley was a plant in the backyard of walt. walt did poison the boy.
@@smoks4833how did he get to poison brock?
@@sidneyshaw9205 I don't think that part is explained in detail. We just see Walt's plant in the very last shot of the season, leaving the audience to put the rest together ourselves.
The ricin storyline in Breaking Bad is pretty underrated. It had so much build up and it was eventually pulled off in the final episode. It was almost like a character itself. Chekhov’s gun was loaded in full and fired at the final moment
It’s appropriately rated, meaning it’s incorporated perfectly
Chekhov's gun
The hype when Walt went and retrieved it from the house was insane. That cold open is one of the best in the series; the audience is made to think that he's overwhelmed by regret or nostalgia, but no, he's there to kill yet another person. It's only episode 9, so is he trying to kill Hank? Jesse? If things have gone this wrong, could it be Skylar? Vince played the final season masterfully
You guys crack me up. It's not even an original idea, yet you glaze the writing soooo much.
@@PhilletPhish Crazy how many of these video's i've watched today and I keep seeing this comment. You're not a wordsmith or an intellectual. Stfu..
Most people forget that hurting kids also crossed the line for Saul as he said they were done, until Walt threatened him
I loved seeing Lydia get her comeuppance in the end. “How are you feeling, Lydia?” Walt was such a savage
Breaking bad and BCS worlds are of actions and consequences for everybody involved in the universe. Doesn't matter what you do, what you try to prevent, the end and retribution came for everybody by the time the show ended. Nobody got scot free of what they called for all time long. Just he greatest story telling I've encountered in 30 years!
Feel bad for her daughter though
@@BorbonRoosterI think Pryce got away. He got his Baseball Cards back and had the money from the drug deal.
@@GreenNinj4 good call, but I reckon he's the only example we have on the screen. As his lore kinda imposes, he would keep on dealing drugs with a different buyer and it's just a matter of time before somebody does something to him without Mike being the threatening force he is.
It's weird that in El Camino, it's only mentioned that she is in critical condition, but makes sense as it was primarily based on Jesse's plot post Breaking Bad time-line
Jesse clarifying “rice-n-beans?” makes me laugh so hard every time 😂

I can't believe he said that with a straight face.
I love how Jesse says "okay we'll just put a PIN in that then" as he had just learned that phrase from walter and started using it in real time, showing how much of walter he was absorbing. Show is incredibly good.
It was more of learning/mocking it
Big Lebowski did the same thing with the Dude parroting lines he’d learned scenes earlier.
There was also a scene where Jesse tells his dealers(Pete, Badger, Combo) to apply themselves, like Walt did when he wrote it on his exam paper.
I love how Jesse actually nailed it about how walt had saul take the ricin cigarette when he comes in convinced it was walt who did Brock in
That does make sense though, because he already knew at that point that brock wasn’t poisoned by ricin. He goes completely insane and threatens Saul as if he has any proof that Walter poisoned Brock with THE LILY OF THE VALLEY, which he should know was the real poison. It feels like the show forgot this at that point. Since it was already established that it is something kids apparently commonly are poisoned by naturally, there is no reason to suspect Walter and especially no reason to be so completely certain of it. He has nothing, the show acts like it was the ricin that poisoned brock
if you truly take in all of the aspects of the scene, I think one might find that Walt's "acting" is actually incredibly mediocre at times throughout this whole confrontation. He's a world class liar but he's starting to slip, it might even be partly out of a deep down feeling of guilty for pulling such a move. He kind of gets lucky a little bit in that Jesse never picks up on it because he's so enraged.
Walt constantly underestimates Jesse's intelligence. Walt thinks himself to be, or wants to be, a master manipulator, but people almost always see through him. I think he lacks emotional intelligence, which I think Jesse has great intuition for.
@@aapjew18 Great point!! Walter is "Book smart" but actually an idiot. Jesse was a D student but reads people well. They're George and Lennie like foils.
@@kevinw712a deep down of guilty lmao
Ricin was introduced so earlier in the series but actually came into use during the final minutes of the show.
Oh yes when he slipped it into that Stevia crap

@@FreezyOH what are you even talking about?
@@FreezyOHLol
It's kinda neat how ricin is microcosmic for Walt's criminal endeavors. Most of these clips are unrelated to its actual usage, rather its force as leverage, and the consequences of such. In the end, most of Walt's strengths arise from his mind games in his ability to manipulate those around him (especially Jesse), even as his strengths as a chemist are undoubtedly what you'd assume of the man immediately.
Even better, when he successfully uses the ricin, it is when Walter is basically dead. But most importantly, the ricin/sugar swap was surreptitious. The ricin was no longer a deterrent or a manipulating thing. He just killed Lydia with it. It perfectly reflects how Walter is not puffing himself up at that point, just doing what he needs to do.
thats a good point.
“Ricin beans” is the funniest line in the whole series
omly followed by "wires!"
"Register THIS!! 🖕"
rice and beans
it's a close second to "YEAH. WHERE THEY LIVE. THE COWS."
I know it's not strictly related to ricin but I still can't believe the reveal that the Lily of the Valley was in Walt's back garden was left out. That whole sequence of him driving out of the car park and stopping to look at the Pollos Hermanos air freshener and then the cut to his garden and slow zoom in on the plant still gives me the shivers. Season 4 of this series is the best season of any TV show ever
Season 4 of the wire is better!
@@cobainlives69Let's meet in the middle. Season 4 of breaking wire is the best
@@cobainlives69 I still haven't watched The Wire but it's high on my list
@@liamdonegan9042 ahhhhhh wire!
The story of ricin in BB should include their attempt to poison Tuco at Hector's crib in the desert, which I'm guessing was ultimately consumed by ants or any other wildlife managing to get in.
Nah hank consumed it but it had 0 effect.
@@lemo4739Hank the tank
@@BigBlueBen Tank the Hank
Another ricin connection: the original plan to get Tuco to take the ricin was by playing it off with a “new formula,” and the way Walt is able to poison Lydia is by introducing a methylmine free formula…
Walt’s plot-within-a-plot is, to this day, the most incredibly brilliant plot I have ever seen in a movie/show. And it’s taken me multiple times to understand it lol
You mean him tricking Jesse into thinking Gus poisoned Brock?
I love how this channel is still active, after both shows are dead. I could watch these same clips over and over, forever.😂
The shows may be over but they aren't dead.
This show was pretty good, people will remember it for a while to come.
They are completed, not dead. It's like saying The Lord of the Rings trilogy is dead. Breaking Bad will live on.
The shows aren't "dead".. your brain sure is.
@tommyvercetti891
That's a savage response.
Uncle Hank would be proud.
Truly the best character in the entire breaking bad universe , Vravo beans
Walt poisoning a innocent child was his worst act of the series in my opinion.
The second one was no saving Jane.
It was a Canon Event.
Walter truly was a good man and fought for his family against all odds till the bitter
@@Kim.Ju-aeHe would not rest until he saved his family from the danger he himself was responsible for causing.
@@ShrekReactsSkyler was ungrateful and selfish and betrayed him
@@Kim.Ju-aeI can’t tell if you’re one of those incels or trolling
“It's Walt. How are you feeling? Kind of under the weather, like you've got the flu? That would be the ricin I gave you, I slipped it into that stevia crap you’re always putting in your tea.”
Fun Facts:
1) "Goodbye Lydia" was the last spoken dialogue in the show
2) Lydia's likeness indirectly saved Jesse's life in Ozymandias
@@Ryan88881 doesn’t Walt talk to uncle jack after he calls lydia?
@@jxmmykriminallive Nope. It's the last words he speaks in the show. Then he walks directly to Jessies lab, looks around and collapses on the floor as the police arrive.
Heisenberg was a mastermind when it came to the ricin. He had Saul’s guys lift the ricin off Jesse and poisoned Brock with Lily of the Valley. He knew Jesse would expect Walt to have lifted the ricin. He cooked a story that makes sense, that Gus lifted the ricin and poisoned Brock to frame Walter and get him killed. Then, Jesse finds out it wasn’t ricin that poisoned Brock, it was Lily of the Valley all along. Then Heisenberg plants fake ricin in the Roomba so that the whole scheme with Saul is now impossible, to Jesse. Then he hides the ricin and saves it for future use, which is when he uses it on Lydia. That whole storyline was freaking brilliant. Even us, the audience, was fooled until Jesse finally figured it out. Bravo Vince.
Ricin is my favourite Breaking Bad character, right next to Hydrochloric Acid
Mine was the Diluted HCI
Mine was Hector Salmancas bell.
@@madkoala2130Gus’ tie was better imo. Very formal acting.
Hydrofluoric not hydrochloric. Though to be honest, IRL, HCl probably would work better than HF, but there are much better alternatives.

Breaking bad without ricin is 70 precent pure, Breaking bad with ricin is 99.1 precent pure
99.9
I can tell you didn't watch it as soon as you said %70. Gale was %96, Jesse was %96.4
@@KeyUploads He’s just expressing how ricin carried the entire show. It wouldn’t be as popular nor near anywhere it was today if it weren’t for those castor beans.
Walt is a character only Brian could pull off. Jesse is a character only Aaron could pull off. Their chemistry was incredible. Vince is an incredible story teller. Best series I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
I like how the plan failed because Walt didn't realise that the "devil's in the details" so Jesse had to freestyle and come up with that chili P story.
It’s funny how Walt didn’t learn from the bathtub incident to answer Jesse’s questions.
It's better because earlier when Jesse asks whats different about it in case tuco asks walt tells him say whatever you want
Tuco was about to snort it when Jesse said there's a "secret ingredient". He should've just stayed quiet.
One of many of Jesse's fuckups
I liked it how you tried to put it on Waltuh lol
30:39 And after all the talking, manipulation, lying, nonsense and constant noise, Walt assures Jesse he’s free with a nod. Crazy the difference between them starting and ending yet the similarity to it
for a big guy, Huel sure had some quick hands in both BrBa and BCS.
You wouldn't expect it from him which just makes it that much more effective
BrBa 😂 wow thats a new one
@@-pressxtostart- not really. Fans have been using it forever. In fact it's done that way in the title card with the periodic elements
Americans should stop calling obese people "big". It's downplaying the problem.
@@31redorange08I mean, is calling them big untrue or incorrect? Not at all. Just walking around calling people obese is a little insensitive, but I don’t think you’d care about that sort of thing.
Got to hand it to the writers. Ricin's character development was simply riveting. One of my favorite recurring characters of the show.
This is the moment Walt became ricinberg
They literally left out the best ricin scene where they’re actually making it
Are you joking? Cuz I never seen that scene
@@argc no they make it in the RV I believe
My guess would be trying to avoid getting the video taken down. “Manufacture of substances” or whatever
@@pnut3844able they make it in the basement of Jesse's home !
They can't show it, because Breaking Bad tends to be accurate in terms of detailing how certain substances are made, so the video could be taken down for describing how a dangerous substance is produced.
I don't know why but the Walter's manipulation is so freaking hilarious, he plays everyone, especially Jesse like a fiddle
13:14 Walt's sigh of relief hits oh so different now.
Damn the ricin in this show had a plotline thicker than some of the main characters in other shows and movies
I like how it literally transitions from "whatever you do don't smoke it" to Jesse losing it and being like "NO! NO!!!! NOOOOO!!!" lol
Season 2 Jesse: Rice and beans?
Season 4 Jesse: You gotta tell the doctors about this thing called ricin, okay? It sounds like rice.
Never ceases to amaze me how seemingly throwaway lines end up getting callbacks much later on.

This is the moment Caster became Ricin
21:26 The cut makes it look like Walt took Jesse to the skate park lol
This is incredible so far, great work ❤
this is the moment jesse and walt grew a magic beanstalk, climbed it and escaped
So many fans always overlook Jesse's original plan to kill the drug dealers with the Ricin. Jesse was trying to be subtle before he resorted to trying to gun them down. Although Gus might have suspected something the fact that Walt wasn't the one to kill the dealers and that their deaths look natural may have stayed Gus's hand.
It looks natural when one person dies, not two bruhh, Gus would have figured it out, it would be too much of a coincidence for both of them to die naturally and that too after the bad blood between those two and Jesse
With how often jesse says 'bitch' throughout the whole series, im a bit disappointed we never heard him call walt, 'heisen-bitch' instead of heisenberg 😂😂
Wow we have got kids watching the show now.
@@tommyvercetti891seeing as the show is a couple months older than I, a 16 year old. I'd reckon that's kinda expected
Fun fact: Vince was the first person to create ricin, he went back in time so that Walter would have a story for it
Bravo Vince!
Too bad actress Emily Rios (Andrea) seems to have departed from acting due to admitted substance abuse in 2021 .
Her last gig was as a main in Snowfall with a lot of promotional hype...... then suddenly departed the series without a statement. Hopefully she returns, maybe she won't.
Andrea died by jack
Ironically, jesse revenge attempt to walt to avenge brock sickness from ricin made brock mother got killed
@@3takoyakismost of the problems were caused by this crybaby
20:20 great acting there by Aaron
funny how the ricin was introduced in the beginning and only talked about being used throughout the series until Felina where it was finally used to kill Lydia
I just love "Rice and beans" so much because both of them thinks the other one's an absolute idiot and I lose it every time
"Ricin and Beans" - Priceless
Man that Ricin had a better Character Arc than Jamie Lannister. Impeccable introduction, developement and conclusion
This is the moment Ricin became Lilly of the Valley
29:12 the song in the ringtone was also in The Walking Dead. Alpha sings it to Lydia as a child to comfort her. It’s from the 1939 film “At the Circus”
I literally could not stand to look at the screen at points because of the visceral revulsion and existential horror from watching Walt’s unfathomable depravity shown in real time
This show is so phenomenal.
Can you imagine how different an ending it would have been if they ended it after season 4
You mean season 5 on yt?
What are you on about it did end with season 5
He means if they ended it on season 4
On CZcams season 5 is split into two seasons starting from gliding over it all
Face off was basically a perfect ending to the series just in case season 5 wasn't greelit.
When the ricen said "it's ric-ing time" I cried. Vince is a genius.
And then riced all over the place. It was awesome
That's the moment when ricin became rice-in-white
Rice 'n' beans 😂
And then Walter's face in response is brilliant
I like that cheeky grin he gives when he scares Jesse with the ricin. Like ‘ha! Scared u didn’t I?’ It’s rare to to see Walt enjoy himself like that
What are you talking about? When does he do that?
I think the part where Lydia puts her Ricin-infused Stevia into her drink shouldve been edited in
It was introduced early, started so many plot threads, and then came back at the end to save the day.
One of the best characters in the show.
Was not expecting to see a half-hour documentary on ricin today. Bravo, Vince!
The last words spoken in Breaking Bad - "Well, goodbye Lydia"
Please post more of these storylines if possible
Why did Walt prepare another cigarette to put in the Roomba and not use the one Saul gave him?
he was going to use the real one but he realised that it could prove useful - and it did when walt needed to tie up loose ends in the finale
Jesse’s part at 20:00 is incredible. Makes it so much more awful what Walt did.
I’ve never really thought about how important the ricin is
I wish they did more with the ricin. He was a good character.
It was between the Heisenberg and Jesse. There's nothing we could do about it
Broo I loved this video very important parts that you can miss if youre not paying atention. I wish you did more long videos like this one. I would like to see a video about the stuffed bear history
The stuffed bear from the pool in S2? It was in one of the planes that crashed in S2 finale.
The ricin had a better character arc than most of the TV show characters these days.
When the writing's so good that the ricin's a character with a complete story arc spanning the entire show.
AWESOME SHOW! I WISHED IT STILL WAS ON.
Feeling a little under the weather Lydia?
1:27 “Rice And Beans!?”
I can't see Wendy without remembering that line by Hank in the parking lot of the crystal palace; "How'bout giving me a windy, Wendy?
26:10 unsung villain who led to Hank's death
Amazing writing in this.. the best
He did the "were done" like Tuco
Todd’s ringtone for Lydia never ceases to weird me out
You can tell Walt is at least a little bit genuinely relieved when brock pulls through, but I imagine most of what he’s thinking and feeling when jesse tells him is a ‘of course he’s pulled through, that’s what I planned’ sense of arrogance
Walt was at his most manipulative when ricin was concerned
25:29 this is the exact moment
bravinceo.....
my favorite part is when the ricen got up and said "Rice to meet you" and then blew skyler away with a tommy gun, starting walts beloved 'Batberg' persona.
Yeah I loved that too.
Ricin had better character development than a Disney movie.
This was the exact moment that some beans got a multi-episode deal from the producers.
I never get bored of those characters.
That ricin is definitely in the DNA of Breaking Bad Vince is really good at doing his characters a great service and following the three main ones all the way through
That was the most serious "rice and beans" anyone has ever said
If you think I would actually click into a 30-minute video just to watch a compilation of clips about ricin in Breaking Bad, then you’re absolutely right.
then you're God damn right*
The gaslight of Jesse is some of the darkest television I've ever seen
This ricin had a better character arc than Rey Skywalker.
"One homicidal maniac at a time" - life lessons 😇
Walt was so damn relieved when Jesse said Gus had to go
Jesse was such a gentle soul🥹❤️
Greatest T.V. show.
Ever.
Best example of a Chekhov’s gun and will be talked about for generations in film schools everywhere
Thank you Team ❤️

"I've got a better idea". Always great hearing that from Walt. U just know it's gonna be good.
