"so you were always like this?" yes Walt ever since he was nine always the same.
Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer!
But not our Jimmy!
COULDN'T BE OUR PRECIOUS JIMMY! STEALING THEM BLIND!
AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER?
What a sick joke!
That last line, delivered by Walter White of all people, absolutely devastating.
Walt wasn't always like that.
There might have been seeds as are in all of us to some extend, but back in season 1 he was not the man he was at the end. His family noticed that before all came crashing down.
hey at what point of breaking bad this scene had happened?
@@kMuhammadAbdullahBaig at breaking bad season 5 episode 15 granite state, during that timeframe
@@MrBell-iq3sm Walter may haven't commited reprochable actions until then, but he already had the resentment and pettiness inside him that fueled him to the try and build a drug empire, and we can see that on the scenes way before the point in which the series started.
The monotony of his life kept him at bay at some point and was constantly pushed back by the things he genuinely cared about but slowly gave up in a pursue for personal satisfaction in the most egotistical ways, step by step overshadowing his most redeeming qualities.
@@therodrigosaurio1093 Having the potential to do something and doing it are two very different things. That’s the point of BB.
It's funny because Walt says disparaging things to Saul all the time in Breaking Bad and you think nothing of it, but in the context of this scene you realize there was a real person inside Saul getting his feelings hurt every time
Heisenberg can hurt Saul Goodman and nothing will change between them
But here was not Saul, Jimmy got hurt by Heisenberg
Saul had lost everything by this point, so Jimmy had no mask to hide behind here, anymore.
But not our Jimmy, couldn't be precious Jimmy.
Its what he does, he puts down everyone working for him and wants to show up everyone he thinks is competent. Its why he was disappointed he didn't surpass Gus instantly, because Walt's ego convinced him that he was more competent than the guy who spent 20 years meticulously setting up a logistics network. Saul is very competent, so Walt's ego demands that he controls him by being abusive.
Walt was lying here. He didn’t regret what he said. He regrets how he treated Jesse. You can see that when he’s asked about regrets and looks at the watch Jesse gave him on his birthday.
He regrets what he did to Jesse, but he hates the fact that those two were making clean millions with his work, knowing how big Walter’s ego is, he would never admit that he was doing something wrong in that timeline
@@ienderlord2983 Billions...with a B
@@theguywhoisaustralian1465 ur right, who wouldn’t regret it…
I took it like he was considering all his options but him being billionaire would help his family a lot and of course he puts over his family over Jesse.
He wasnt lying because this wasn't Walt's regret. This was Heisenberg's regret. Hesienberg was always a part of Walt and Gray Matter was the drive to him becoming Heisenberg. Wanting to amount to something because his ego demanded it.
It's funny how in Breaking Bad we feel sympathy for Walt and every emotion he feels all throughout because the show is from his perspective, but all it takes is one scene from someone else's perspective to remind us just how much of a colossal prick he was.
I never sympathised with Walter White at the start.
@@zzzzzzzzzzzk Not even in the pilot episode?
@@skell-a-ton Well before I first started watching Breaking Bad, I was expecting a sympathetic reason for why Walt turned to the manufacture of distributing crystal meth and in the pilot episode, I saw some of his circumstances (being paid little, being stomped over, having cancer) that generated a bit of sympathy. But when I saw the episode which introduced his former business partners who were more than eager to help Walt pay for his cancer treatment and give him a lucrative position of being part of Grey Matter again only for him to refuse out of pride and resentment for his former colleagues (who seem to have done nothing to him), that's when it started to wise me up to Walter's true colours. The fact that he would go to all the lengths of manufacturing illegal drugs, lie to his family and manipulate others to do his bidding with a smile on his face made me lose sympathy for him.
So what we have here is a seemingly pitiable man who was actually given opportunities to make things better for himself and his family but his own flaws and shortcomings led him to squander those opportunities and cause him to self-destruct.
@@zzzzzzzzzzzk walt's perspective is smtg more like " So now that I have cancer that U all care about me" so yeah, He felt like they were doing it out of pity. Idk about U but a self respecting man wouldn't take up their offer lol. BrBa fandom is quick to throw words like " ego " and "pride" but never go deep
@@alphablitz7907 Are you implying that accepting a friend's offer for help makes someone look weak?
cranston is so on point. like he never left his character
I love the detail that he's still blaming Gretchen and Elliot and even saying how they almost planned for walt to leave when he chose to it's a simple couple of lines but very much Walter white and I definitely can see his bitterness towards them still to the point that he's lying to himself
@@Ashtasticle94 And I love how that bitterness lasted till the very end. Cranston did such a great fucking job with this character.
He is the one who acts!
hey at what point of breaking bad this scene had happened?
@@kMuhammadAbdullahBaig near the end when Saul and Walter are waiting for their new identities at the vacuum repair shop.
The way how Mike sees Walt is the same way how Walt sees Saul
no
Deep
No
Saul was never time bomb for Walt
Mike saw right through Walt as a timebomb and how dangerous his ego was for the business; Walt just saw Saul as a bug to be stepped on because he thought himself superior to him.
I genuinely don't think they could have used Walt's final appearance any better than this scene, especially 3:05 . The protagonist who changed into the absolute worst passing on judgment and looking down at the protagonist who could not change for the better.
Perfect to follow up Jesse and Kim's scene. This truly is the end.
Bravo Peter and Vince.
vravo bince
It was beautiful. The flashback with Mike and Chuck were absolutely perfect too.
the point of the line is that jimmy was not always saul
@@domclegg1225 Actually it was the exact opposite, Jimmy was always a criminal, Saul was just a name for it.
Walt’s last words in BCS 😂
My favorite part about this scene they lied to each other, Walt actually regrets about what he did to Jesse while Saul regrets what happened with him with Chuck and the others
It's absolutely perfect because the two main characters of both shows finally sit together, alone, isolated, face-to-face and reveal that they both have regrets, which is the theme of their characters and subsequently both shows, and all the horrible choices they made. This whole final episode was great, but my god this scene was one of the best in the entire series, just a perfect send off.
This script was written years before the Chuck character was ever thought of.
@@amyzonkers7568 No? What? Bryan Cranston legit came back to play Walt in Better Call Saul’s final episode for this scene.
This show came after Breaking Bad so they allude to them both lying but in the original show Gray Matter was definitely Walt’s biggest regret and we learn that his decision to leave which all came from his ego that he never owns up to is what leads to the choices he made that resulted in what appeared to be a good guy who was dealt bad hand in life making the choices he had to in order to survive until he unintentionally becomes a monster. But by the end of BB they show that despite having earned more money than he could’ve ever inagined in the business that he continues to refuse a clean exit option because he can’t let go of what he missed out on when he left Gray Matter and what it has become. When Mike and Jesse need his share to exit the business Jesse still thinks Walt is motivated by the money and at that point he tells him about how he had sold himself short before and that he is in the empire business, which finally shows that he is still going through so many obstacles that he doesn’t need to as he has made more money than he could ever need because he has such a deep inner need to fill that hole he created that he insists to build an empire even if it’s one like a meth empire.
When we look back on BB Walt’s immense pride and how it leads an extremely smart and calculating man to make rash and emotional decisions cause all of the problems he faces. His pride makes him feel inferior and he rushes into abandoning his fiance, best friend, and sells his stake in a company he knew had huge potential someday for $5,000 and can never let go of what he missed out on when the company explodes. But because he is so prideful he continues to refuse options he has to take care of his problems such as accepting the job he’s offered by Elliott or letting Elliott pay for his care and lecture Skylar for telling Elliott about his diagnosis because she knew Elliott would try to help him and he won’t accept charity so rather that accept the help he decide to continue cooking to cover things as his pride requires that he solve every problem.
When Gretchen reveals the true events his ego can’t accept the truth so he lashes out at her and says they cut go out and always tells the story of being taking advantage of. We even see at the very end when he returns home and confronts them stems from seeing them on the TV discrediting his contribution to the company to protect it from being associated with him and how angry it makes him even at that point. They throw this in for the subsequent show but it can’t be ignored that had it not been for his choices with Gray Matter and his decision to leave when he did that none of what happened during the show ever happens. If he never left like he had even if he was still diagnosed with cancer he’d have been rich and never needed to get into the drug business to begin with as he’d have had more than enough money to pay for his treatment which was initially his reason he ever entered into the business and as time went on the ego and pride he always had took over as he became a genuine monster by the end of it all. So while he clearly cared a lot for Jesse by the end, and they allude that it may have been his true deepest regret, if not for the company he never meets Jesse since he never teaches high school where he first encounters Jesse. And in the original show he is so attached to building himself an empire that even his care for Jesse isn’t enough to agree to the clean exit that had he been able to move past Gray Matter by then would’ve further allowed for Jesse to walk away along with preventing the destruction of his family that included the death of Hank.
Crazy to think that maybe Saul in fact could’ve in fact did something for Walt in the grey matter technologies case like he did for the car wash and Walt would’ve been satisfied. Breaking bad was so close to a happy ending
Maybe, but considering the actual truth was Walt left by his own choice and he's twisting the facts to make himself feel better, he likely wouldn't have had a case anyway. But then again, Saul might have been able to work his magic.
@@parkerboy795 there's no evidence of that
@@medevialpuppet3695 Yeah there is. Vince Gilligan said it. You can look it up: Why Walt Left Grey Matter.
@@parkerboy795 really? Interesting too learn
@@parkerboy795 true, saul might have been able to pull a scam like with getting the car wash
Hearing Walter say that Saul has always been like this hurts like hell. Earlier, when there was no BCS, we really looked at him as a comical character, in an already serious and depressing series. But when BCS appeared, we saw that Saul was just a mask behind which a huge and tragic story was hidden
But for someone that started BCS then BB will have different experience i guess
the point of the line is that jimmy was not always saul
0:09 when walter was thinking of his regrets he stared at the watch that jesse gave him which is probably telling us that he regrets his actions against jesse, mainly giving him up to the nazi's. knowing walter is one to avoid his guilt moves to avoid it and talks about grey matter.
Finally someone who actually paid attention to the scene
Very interesting that his gut reaction was Jesse and not his family or Hank. It just shows how much Jesse meant to him. Vince and the writers have said that Walt had originally planned to kill Jesse with the Nazis but decided to save him out of impulse at the end. Best duo in television.
I thought of it as his regrets may have been the time he had the people murdered in the prison, due to the ticking. I rather this though
I noticed that too. This was when he hated Jesse the most yet we see he did indeed feel some regret for what he let happen to Jesse.
@@X-Bones “Vince and the writers have said that Walt had originally planned to kill Jesse with the Nazis” Yes, when Walt rigged that machine gun, he was planning to kill Jesse too until he saw Jesse’s bedraggled state and finally listened to his conscience for once
I always hate how everyone (except Kim) underestimates how outstanding a lawyer Saul is.
Walts comment about how Saul would’ve been ‘the last lawyer’ he’d go to, really sting.
No one recognised that Saul was probably the best lawyer in alberquerque.
For real, Saul would have gotten Walt a huge payout
Yeah He’s the one who’s singlehandedly brought down the huge law firm represented a huge bank (included Kim) all on their knee for a little poor old man. Elliot and Gretchen you know how soft skin they’re, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
well Walt is actually kinda right here. Saul may have the talent but going to a criminal lawyer for help in that situation wouldn't be the best idea
Walt and Jimmy are parallel of of unappreciate genius
They are extremely tallent but get trest like crap, that why they both trun to criminal way,
Becuz they get to use thier full potential and be them self the most
They also have thier own crime identity Heisenberg and Saul Goodman
Howard also saw the potential Saul had. If it wasn't for Chuck's weird jealous obsession he had with keep Saul down Howard would've loved to have him.
Really makes you realize that almost every time past season 3 when Walter spoke to Saul, he had disdain for him and talked down to him, either out of his self delusions that he's so much better or out of pure ego. But Saul could usually hold his own, because he was both still useful to Walter and had the "Saul Goodman" wit. Here, he's deflated, back to being Jimmy McGill yet Walter still clings on to his Heisenberg persona, itching for any scrap of power he can claw back. That's why he seems particularly cruel in this scene - both because Jimmy doesn't have the spirit to fight back and that his ego is in recovery mode.
Is he really back to Jimmy? He literally says he could've made so much money with Walt's history and then also masked his regrets with a slippin' story. Looks like Saul through and through.
@@MrDwightSchrute If you think back to episode 1, the slipping story was the origin of "Slippin' Jimmy", which started his life of scamming people
He's also being very mean to Jimmy because this conversation took place almost immediately after the events of Ozymandias. Walter is in a terrible place mentally.
Mike respected Saul's skills and knowledge of the game and Skylar found Saul easier to work with than Walt. Saul was a better fit for the life than Walt, had more concern for his colleges and lines he wouldn't cross yet he treated him like a fool and ignored his advice at every turn.
@@EdoloChannel He brought all that on himself.
This scene was such a perfect metaphor for the entire character arc of Walter White; a problem occurs which Walt tries to resolve via his own means, and in turn creates a much louder problem that directly impacts those around him - but fails to see that due to his blinding narcissism.
Damn what a prick Walter was I mean they've both lost everything and Walt still feels the need to talk down to everybody around him
Everyone needs a scapegoat.
I disagree. Walt delivered the cold, hard truth to Jimmy. Which is why this moment affected Jimmy so much.
@@standupguy12 Yeh, just like Walt wasn't always the narcisstic, prideful egomaniac that he was(!)
@@standupguy12 Guess it was more about the idea of a demand against Grey Matter, not about "you were always like this line". Walter was so eager to shut Saul down when he mentioned the time machine cause he was so above him, he was so ignorant while he knew everything about quantum mechanics, but when he's the one who gets into an area where he knows nothing at all and is overpassed he'll just resort to petty insults (just like he had done against Jesse in season 1 when he wasn't selling enough on his own before meeting Tuco).
For real, Better call Saul gave me a new perspective on Walter, he is narcissistic & Saul is the real good person
Walter thinks Jesse is dead at this point, that's why he looks at the watch that he got from him.
Truthfully might be one of the best scenes in the show
Glad Walter white left the breaking bad universe without his last words being “Lydia “
Still his final words before death, sadly
His last words of any significance were "I want this" to Jesse. Calling Lydia at the end was just icing.
If you listen carefully, he whispered "It's METH'in time" before his death in Felina.
@@DansaSemesta sheesh I just noticed that!
He was also in el camino, and there his final words really fit him
I like the fact that Saul does not reply in a cliche way that you would expect. He becomes surprised and excited suggesting and contemplating ways he file a civil court case. That's something a brilliant lawyer would say.
“So you were always like this” hurts so fucking bad
Jimmy has always used Saul as this cover-up, this persona to help repress his trauma. All the hurt he went through he’d pretend he didn’t care about, and move along, the mask buried him so deep he became a walking talking cartoon character, jokes and all. He never got vulnerable, he’s Saul Goodman! There’s nothing deeper inside! It’s not worth checking, if he convinces everyone he’s fine, maybe he’ll believe it too.
Right here is when it sinks in what wearing that mask really means.
We as the audience know Jimmy. We know Jimmy and Saul aren’t the same. We know he wasn’t always this way, but portraying that idea is how he hides himself.
It’s not the only scene in this episode, and certainly not the only one in the show, but this was one of the most overt, and heart wrenching scenes used to convey how Jimmy needed to acknowledge his pain, to quit hiding, ignoring the problem won’t make it go away, facing it no matter how hard it is was how he finally redeemed himself.
great comment
I like that scene from Jimmy’s childhood where he meets that d-bag who gives him the cliche wolf/sheep philosophy. I think that’s where Saul Goodman was born, out of the fear of becoming vulnerable like his Dad was.
Walt was right. Jimmy became Saul the moment he stole out of his dads cash register at 9 years old. I don’t know why so many people let this whole Jimmy/Saul nonsense fool them. Chuck was always right. Jimmy was always Saul aka slippin Jimmy but people always thought “Not our Jimmy” . The only time he was Jimmy was in S1 where he turned down that million dollars. Other than that this twat has always been Saul.
Walt says Saul would be the last lawyer he’d choose, but we know from the series that Saul could’ve gotten him serious money lol
Love how Walt takes his sweet time thinking of his regrets, but has absolutely no time for Saul
the complete eradication of jimmys smile never ceases to get a chuckle out of me
i love it so much. he’s being really jovial and light but it’s so funny how his face just droops
'Emotional damage'
His biggest regret was not going go carting with Jesse 😂
So this is the last time we are seeing the legend Heisenberg............
9 years passed by, but first scene together and Walter shits Saul's character all over again. Bravo Vince
*Bravo Peter
Saul: "My biggest regret is that I pulled a slip-and-fall..."
Audience: "Aww, Saul finally showing some heart that he regrets scamming people."
Saul: "...and I hurt my knee."
Audience: -_-
What's fucking brilliant about that throwaway line though is that it reveals why Jimmy has always alluded to having a bad knee (even back in BB), and the fact what became his last slip and fall ended up being the catalyst for him 'going through bartending school' and telling us a little bit more how he became a con man, despite the fact the show never delved into this much at all.
Walter is truly honest in this scene
Not having regrets about all the damage he has done, the lifes he has taken and destroyed, not any repentance about Hank or his family
This is about about Grey Matter, about how he could had been a recognized chemist and succesfull CEO but by his own mistakes he became a failure
In an illusory way he blames Gretchen and Elliot because they took advantage for making money with the almost free given research from Walter
All this bullshit he kept it chill and quiet for decades, untill it explodes
Walter regrets having that family, having that boring life, instead of beeing this rich scientist that he could have been by little
But at the end he got it
He became globally famous
His intelligence is recognized
And more than respected he is feared by everyone
He died satisfied
The thing is that even Walter truly cared about his family they were never his first priority
he regrets about jesse which is why he was looking at the watch
u think walter's the type to cry to saul and say "omg i got hank killed. i wish i could bring him back :(( " ?
jesus christ
Most of the damage he did was towards people who deserved it, plus Hank got himself killed, Walt did everything he could to save him so no reason for regrets there.
@@nobodyharder6575 I mean yeah, most of the people Walter killed deserved it, I can't argue there. But Hank didn't get himself killed. If Walter didn't call Jack, Hank would've lived. Walter didn't know it was Hank at first that's he called Jack. So yeah, Walter got Hank killed. Not intentionally but he still did.
@@TylerLines Hank got himself killed through his obsession for Heisenberg. Even when every existing evidence screamed in his face that he was wrong, his ego wouldn't allow him to just let it go. Ended up paying for it.
The "So you were always like this" killed me for some reason
It's Jimmy's innocent face of guilt after it for me :(
I love how this scene shows us two things about Walt:
1- That Walt is a huge dick to Saul and he doesn't even try to hide it at this point.
2- Walt being by far the smartest character in the entire BB/BCS universe, given how he saw right through Saul's intentions just by him asking a silly question.
After Saul negotiated his sentence down to a mere 7 years, no one can convince me Walter was smarter.
@@zufgh Walter outsmarted Mike twice and Gus twice as well, Saul can only dream of outsmarting one of them only once.
@@ChairmanLor Why?
I keep thinking about how chuck and walter would have probably been great friends....
I notice @lajo didn't ever answer my question btw. Okay so Walt outsmarted Mike and Gus. Big deal. Intimidating and threatening as they are, they're still nothing compared to the reach of the federal government's legal system. Saul outsmarted all of them. Why is it just automatically accepted by lajo and those who upvoted him, that Saul wouldn't be able to outsmart Gus and Mike?
The funny thing is, Saul Goodman could have really done something to get Walt his share at Grey Matter but deep down Walt knows that the only reason it didn't work out for him was he he left the company on his own. Elliott and Gretchen never kicked him out, they didn't do anything, there was no manipulation. He just left on his own. So naturally he wouldn't want Saul's help with that because there is no crime here. Even if somehow Saul jimmy-jacked Grey Matter, Walter's own pride and ego wouldn't allow it either.
Well tbh it’s kind of up in the air. BB canon it leads us to believe it was more his own random decision to leave.
But with this scene he seems genuine in saying that they were conniving behind the scenes, plotting to make him leave. And there is not enough evidence otherwise to let us know what really happened for sure.
Just realized, they both have alter egos (Saul and Heisenberg). Both unable to admit their true regrets (Chuck and Jesse). Both create bs answers about money (Warren Buffet and GrayMatter).
Jimmy :)
Walter So, you were always like this
Jimmy :/
A single glace at Jesse's gift to him spoke thousands of words
“You’d have been the last lawyer I’d have gone to”
We laugh at that line initially, but I find it kinda sad. The way Jimmy’s spirits were lifted for a brief moment, his passion for being a lawyer still shining through, only to be rejected, and he sinks back into his bed, defeated. The feels man.
I literally cannot believe Vince Gilligan pulled off THREE perfect endings. Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and arguably even El Camino, and each of them complementing each other. 90% of shows do not even have an adequate ending, but the BB/BCS saga did it three times. What an epic masterpiece. Peak of television history.
Don't mean to be that guy but BCS (and Breaking Bad) are more than just Vince Gilligan's works. This episode was written and directed by Peter Gould. Much of the greatly crafted storylines in these shows are thanks to the group of writers.
@@phanindravaibhav3319 For every Napoleon, Caesar and Genghis Khan, there's a Davout, Labienus and Subutai. No great man can be truly great completely on his own. Gould is magnificent, no arguments there. He, Vince, the brilliant actors and the great film team made two of the best shows in the history of television.
3:14 I thought it was Hector for a sec 😅
🤣
Walter being asked what he regrets he immediatly looks at the watch Jesse gave him for his birthday. Mind you that in this time Walter had just left Jesse in the hands of Todd and his uncles. This is why I love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul so well made in the tiniest of details
Here's my take on this scene. At first i thought that that Jimmy's "regret" being simply a slip and fall meant that he doesn't really have any regrets implying that he'd always been like that. But the more I thought about it, the more I started to think that maybe indeed that was Jimmy's biggest regret. Had he not slipped, his brother Chuck wouldn't have given him the nickname of Slippin' Jimmy, and maybe he thought that if that wouldn't have happened, Chuck would have had more respect for him and maybe none of that would have happened. I mean, you can see his face change after Walter says "So we always like this." He doesn't know Chuck and the way Jimmy delivered the line seemed douchy, but throughout Better Call Saul, Jimmy wanted Chuck's respect and appreciation, which he never got enough of.
That's not the point lol, the point is that Jimmy locked his real regrets and vulnerabilities away so deep that even in a dire situation having heart-to-heart with some of his closest friends or accomplices he couldn't be real with them about any of it. Same thing is reflected in the Bagman flashback conversation with Mike about the Time Machine. We all are well aware that there are dozens of things Jimmy would desperately want to change about his life especially his relationships if he could, but he still puts on the facade of a greedy slimeball who singlemindedly wants nothing but money by rambling about a trite billionaire fantasy.
It was only after he confessed to all of his wrongdoings in court in the finale that he was able to finally confront the mountain of guilt that'd been piling up within him, ultimately finding solace in putting an end to a tiresome masquerade he'd been living for well over a decade at that point.
@@thrace_bot1012 EXACTLY. in this moment where walt gave saul the rare time of day to hear him and have a meaninful conversation saul was not ready yet to spill about kim or chuck, two huge pieces of his life, it would of been fascinating television had saul mentioned kim to walt, but the realism was displayed here, he didnt have the emotional ability to tell walt about these things becuase the wounds were still pretty raw)
I figured this out as soon as I watched it. He also said the slip got him the money to become a lawyer. If not for that one slip, nothing of what we have seen would have happened
@@thrace_bot1012what would be his biggest regret then? The kettleman? Sandpiper?
When Walt said about my regrets he looked at the watch jesse gave him. This showed us again how much Walt loved jesse he only thinks about jesse no hank,marie,his family or people he killed he loved jesse more than his whole family This scene made felina more beautiful.
Great ending for Bb universe.
He regrets about both the family and Jesse as both shows have confirmed now
Walt (of course) painting the Gray Matter story as he was coerced to step out by his partners.
Judging by Walt's actions when he is in a power position, it's highly possible his version of the Gray Matter situation is self pitty at it's core. The man couldn't admit his mistakes were on him.
How amazing is it for this scene that Jesse's gift to Walt was a watch? Not only can he look at it to imply some remorse, it is in a literal sense a kind of time machine.
Interesting how this scene also reveals why Jimmy stopped doing 'Slip & Falls' and how he possibly became more of a conman through bartending. Also explains the weird leg machine and a few mentions to his legs being bad across the show.
Walt is lying to himself twice over in this scene. Firstly, his friends didn't 'artfully' remove him. He removed himself due to them unintentionally hurting his ego. Secondly, he spends the entire time looking at the watch Jesse gave to him.
The really nice detail was that although Walter was looking at the clock, he was talking about Gray Matter, not regretting Jesse because of his ego
"So, you are always like this." coming from Heseinberg is my favorite line of all time in whole Breaking Bad universe. It shook me to my core. Heisenberg had done some of the most horrifying things in history of TV, but even he was self-aware enough to see that he is bad and absolute piece of shit and that he did it for himself, his pride and out of resentment towards society and life. Walt accepted that.
Jimmy on the other hand was completely oblivious to his own issues and internal struggle. He thought he was a good guy and he saw cutting corners as him just being smarter than anyone else.. evident in conversation with Kim season ago when Jimmy started practising by the name Saul Goodman. Kim didn't understand why change name and for Jimmy it was "just a name". Oblivious.
When Jimmy heard that Kim spilled her guts on Howard Hamlin, that is the moment Jimmy started realizing it's not just a name and he decided to be honest towards himself and then the rest of the world.
In this scene he still thought of himself as the good guy. When he talks to Skyler THAT’s when he admits he did it all for himself.
Remember where you were when you watched this unbelievable masterpiece. An outstanding work of art down to the final stroke as James McGill esquire points the guns to the love of his life. Creating the quintessential way to end television perfection. It will be taught in classrooms forever.
I think most people were in their living rooms
Honestly, from Walt's perspective I don't think it's unfair to assume that Saul was "always like this". If your only knowledge of Saul was from the Breaking Bad series then you wouldn't be surprised to learn he did small cons like this in his twenties. But after watching Better Call Saul, we know that Saul Goodman is just the mask that Jimmy puts on to cope with his pain, so when Walt delivers that line it's absolutely crushing for not just Jimmy but for us too.
“So you were always like this.”
I view this final comment from Walter as less of a scathing remark towards Jimmy and more of a personal peace of mind. By saying that and framing his evil doings in his head as only a result of the hardships he faced - therefore suggesting that he wasn’t “always like this” - he’s chalking his own actions up to necessity and not to his own character flaws. A final selfish, vindictive and downright arrogant attempt to make himself feel better. Classic Walter.
right on
The word when "Slip and fall" comes out from Walt's mouth with the ending of "You were always like this" hurts Saul like a trillion times as Chuck said something like these too. If Saul was to reveal his regrets, maybe he wouldn't be living hopeless as Gene Takovic.
They really did a good job at CGIing the bald cap away
Partially. A lot better than El Camino
I don't understand why bryan cranston didn't just shave his head. I mean he's literally playing Walter White for the last time of his career I think it's more than worth it to go bald for that

Also perhaps all you ‘millions’ should move on to other things. At this rate, the Breaking Bad universe is becoming TV’s MCU the way it’s often blindly dickridden.
I always wondered why in the Chuck flashback we see he had a copy of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.
I think I understand why.
As much as they had their differences, and grew to hate one another, Chuck truly was one of the few people who Jimmy genuinely connected with and cared for.
They were often in tune and had each other’s backs, and this is represented through the notion that Chuck probably would’ve respected Jimmy’s time machine question and would’ve given a thoughtful answer.
The people Jimmy eventually chose to associate himself with, people like Walter, wouldn’t.
This is the moment where Saul became Walter White, Bravo Vince!

I love how it mirrors Saul's same discussion with Mike. Saul talks about how he'd do something that would get him a lot of money, while Mike talks about what turned him into a bad person, and Mike chides him for it. Here, Saul talks about his own turning point, while Walter talks about money, but Walter talks down to him all the same.
Walt is still treating Saul like shit after all the things he did to him. He doesn't give Saul any credit how good of a lawyer he is.
I love that this scene could fit seamlessly into Breaking Bad and still work really well
This is the moment that Walt truly became Heisenberg.
Walt has been heisenberg for a year at this point
@@makshoenes he just came up with the name. He was still Walt until he finally became Heidenberg by dominating Saul
The two flashbacks of Walt and Jesse kinda have a hidden message.
Jesse’s scene with Kim. He was nice and wasn’t rude to Kim, even kinda thanking her for helping Combo. Just making small talk about the rain and asking is Saul was good (good in two ways. A good lawyer? And a good man?), which Kim reply’s “he was when I knew him”.
Walt’s scene with Jimmy was the exact opposite. Walt giving out and antagonising Jimmy on how a time machine could never work. His Ego still out of control. And when Jimmy asked about any regrets, Walt chose to blame someone else instead of excepting his own mistakes (it was always someone else’s fault). Telling Jimmy that he would be the last lawyer he would hire, and asking him “so you were always like this?”.
Basically the message is:
Jesse is a good man
Walt is a bad man
Saul is also Goodman
Good man? Jimmy? Saul Goodman? Real?
What a hurtful, truthful thing to say...
this scene is prime example of brilliant visual storytelling
the contrast between change and inability to change in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is a masterpiece
I love how both times Saul brings up regrets, he makes something up to avoid getting emotional. Could’ve been a real heart to heart moment but he didn’t want that.
I love the focus on the watch Jesse gave him when Walt is thinking about his regrets.
Of course, like Jimmy, he can't face his real mistakes and avoids the truth.
At least by the end of both of their arcs they amended their biggest respective regrets (losing Kim and letting Jesse be captured)
The fact that Jimmy went to bartending school, got married 2 times, figured out a way to fake IDs in high school to get beers faster, and the sunroof and arrest thing makes me think he had a much more interesting and fun youth than Walter's. It wasn't necessary to see many flashbacks, but I would have loved to learn more about Jimmy's past.
Walter wasn't always like this and he knows it. It's interesting that he's self aware enough to recognize that.
I think Walt and Jimmy here are trying to avoid their real answers to the question. Sure, Walt actually regretted leaving Gray matter way too early but I think his biggest regret at that moment is how he treated Jesse shown by him looking at the watch Jesse gave and the fact that he is still keeping it but knowing Walt he probably didn't want to admit that he was wrong about how he treated him. His ego just won't allow it as to his mind he did the right thing. Same thing with Jimmy, in Jimmy's mind he didn't want to admit that he misses Chuck and how he regretted his actions that led to his death because in his mind Chuck didn't matter all that much to him. Both characters having many regrets that in the end they suffered their consequences.
Walter thinks he has some moral high ground because he wasn't evil in the beginning, always blaming someone or something else for his situation. It's one of those pathetic moments of his.
I like how this scene finally gives the specific context of why he always said he has bad knees throughout both shows
I think Walt broke when Elliot and Gretchen stole his potential, he broke bad many years later but his resentment, his whole breaking bad thing revolves around that point, that instead of being a noble prize winner he became a cashier in a car wash, befriended jessy pinkman instead of John Nash, reporting to mike not the president of USA
He hates that his lawyer is someone like Saul so he doesn’t care about his feelings
Gretchen broke Walt not cancer
Saul in this scene is so innocent. He needs Time Machine just for revert a Slip and Fall. Emotional ❤❤❤
I love Saul's answer, because he's being as honest about his regrets as Walter is. He's sitting with someone he knows contributed to the death of someone he was once close with, suspects he killed Mike and Jesse, hospitalised a child, covered up the death of another child, and kidnapped his own child. And the regret he mentions is that he voluntarily left a company that became rich? Yeah, obviously he's not going to open up honestly to someone like that.
To be fair with the monster that is Walter White (Yeah, to be fair with that stupid ass), Saul/Jimmy also wasn't sincere in his answer with Mike in the Desert. He only was sincere about his regrets in the Court.
This scene really plays off the scene with Chuck when he tells Jimmy what’s the point on having regrets.
i cried at this ep, bravo vince
LOL
lmaoooo
Vravo bince* learn to spell.
this is the moment jesse was abducted by a ufo after wandering outside of nome, alaska
oh yeah, that dialogue was crazy
I insist Jimmy was missunderstood many times but his decisions were his, he could do much, much better. When he finally admitted that, he redeemed himself and showed up the light he had in his heart, which many people around him thought he lost, but he managed to get it back, to get Jimmy back and leave Saul behind forever.
It’s amazing how Walt will stop at nothing to highlight every mistake or wrongdoing he’s perceived himself to suffer from, such as in this scene when he says that Elliot and Gretchen were “artfully maneuvering him” to leave Gray Matter.
Deep down, Walt knows they did absolutely nothing wrong, and he left on his own accord. Walt had a detrimental sense of pride and ego, and those traits were enormous reasons so many people suffered from Walt’s actions.
I really like how these final episodes successfully made us see these events through Saul/Jimmy's perspective. Like, Walt it's very much in-character here, he doesn't do, or act in anyway he wouldn't in Breaking Bad. Yet, different to BB where we watched everything through his perspective and get a sense of empathy for him, here, we can really see who Walter White was for Jimmy: a cruel, egomaniacal asshole. Both Walter and Jimmy only saw each other as a means to an end, and thusly they became so emotionally distant, that even in this scene where Jimmy tries to have any ounce of an emotional conection to Walt, Walt simply keeps imposing their power dynamic, quickly switching to his Heisenberg persona without any care. Purely viewing Saul as a pawn to his game. Really makes Saul's declaration to Walt in Granite State saying "I'm done", look as both the further downfall of Walter to rock-bottom and at the same time as a triumphant moment for Jimmy, finally free of Heisenberg's clutches.
Saul HAD the chance to gain some emotional bondage with Walt till he just lied to him about a ‘Slip and Fall’
Somehow this is the closest thing we got of an appearance of Elliot and Gretchen in BCS
Leave it to Walter white to string together the most devastating possible combination of words against a man who has done nothing but assist him through almost every step of his journey
The only regret Waltuh has is killing Mike for telling him to put his Di….. I mean for not giving him the names….
Bryan didn’t just slip back into Walt, he slipped back into season 5 Walt and it was perfection. This is obviously the same person who just went through the events of Ozymandias and he played it so well. No matter what, Walter HAS to be the smartest guy in the room
Now with the context of better call Saul, we see how good of a lawyer Jimmy really is. Walter uses Saul because of his connections to the criminal underworld and constantly underestimates how much Saul can really do for someone.
Personally I would have try to make things about gray matter. I mean, saul is a scumbag, yes, but also a mastermind when comes to law. I guess pride makes people do very stupid things 🤷
Instead of his relationship with Chuck, his dad's funeral, the awful things he did to Howard or Kim leaving him Jimmy's only regret is his knees
Yeah similiar to Walter, I think he's trying not to bring up any true deeply emotional regrets
This is one of the best scenes in history because it just explains how twisted this characters are, even in the end, they had no regrets, not even the dead, and they did what they did because they were good at it, horrible bur fascinating
This scene was a pretty good reminder to us about Walt's ego/pride.
It's the BCS finale but there's still a scene which adds to Walter's character. He deep down regrets Jesse but the Heisenberg part of him takes over and talks about Grey Matter.
God damn man, Saul can't catch a break. It's criminal how disrespected their most valuable asset was.
Saul wanted to tell him his biggest regret was getting involved w/ him & his ego otherwise they wouldve never been in this situation & lots of people, both innocent & guilty consciences, would still be alive
Even the man who was a murderer, manipulator and straight up bad person, realized that Saul was just as bad
Saul wasn't nearly as bad as walt.
Clearly you never watched the series, then. Because the entire point was that Jimmy was always a good person, but doubled-down on his con man ways because all the people he loved failed him. Walt was just a control freak that could never admit (even at this point where he'd lost nigh-everything) that he was always a bad person because his ego was out of control.
If anything, this scene is telling us that Saul may be realising that Walt criticising him for being a bad person (in lieu of the hypocrisy) is perhaps because, much like Jimmy did when Chuck died, he hid the reality from himself that his actions were to blame when he had someone else to project his insecurity onto (which was Howard).
Because in this case, despite everything Walt had done, he still hadn't accepted it was all his fault (hence why he chose the Grey Matter story instead of literally anything else) and projected his criticism onto someone else.
@@Hysteria98 jimmy turned into a bad person, he was a horrible person in breaking bad, he was willing to kill hank and didn't care abut anyone.
Well both started with good intentions
But lost thier way as the series went on only to redeem thierselves at the very end
@@Hysteria98 ego ego ego, Like wth is wrong with this fandom lol. Give Walter a break . Mike is more egomaniacal than he is with his holier than thou attitude but the show makes u root for him and u all do it cuz u r NPC's
The watch moment is 10/10.
Four characters in here. Jimmy and Saul, Walt and Heisenberg. None of them speaking a word of truth.
This scene is so sad. All Saul was trying to do was be nice to Walt.
0:14 damn....
That final line from Walter hits different after watching Better Call Saul.
And that my friends reminds us the point of BCS. An kind of opposite to Heisenberg. One Boeing always like this, while the other became like this, broke bad. So in the end it doesn't material of you queremos always bad or became bad, but of you decide to return to goodness. Like Jimmy Mcgill did, by confesing
When Jimmy "Saul Goodman" McGill was talking about on how he could have helped Walt sue Gretchen and Elliott over Gray Matter, there were a lot of problems on how they would most likely never win the case.
1:
Wrongful Termination: Walt left the company on his own terms
2:
Intellectual Property Theft: Walt sold his share of the company willingly and consensually.
3:
Patent Fraud: Walt also sold his research willingly and consensually as well.
4:
Artfully Maneuvering: If all Elliot did was gambled his time to wait for things to go bad between Walt and Gretchen that Walt would be willing to leave the company, sold his share and research to him and win Gretchen's heart and her families money and they took that to court it would all be Hearsay and it would have been thrown out unless Elliot confess to that which he is too smart to do that.
Conclusion: They would have lost horrendously.
tbf tho Jimmy didn't know the full details he just know based on Walt's retelling that he's been "manipulated" into selling his shares
@@danielvictor3262 Well, technically Elliot did artfully maneuvered Walt into leaving by pretending to be happy for him and Gretchen on being engaged until Walt broke it off to save Gretchen from her families disapproval and sold his share and research to them so Elliot would profit from it and married Gretchen and got her families money.
Saul was right, they could've fixed that problem Walt said.
