Breaking Bad Season 5 -

Walt devises a plan: a coordinated hit on all nine men within a two-minute window. Jesse, horrified by the prison violence he witnesses (a horrific montage of shivs and falls), is disgusted. Mike is furious, not at the act, but at Walt’s chaotic, untidy nature. Mike wants to pay the men "hazard pay" to keep them quiet and retire peacefully. Walt overrules him.

Walt sees an interview with his former partners, Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, on TV. They say Walter White was merely a footnote in the company’s history. Walt, enraged, decides to return to Albuquerque. He arranges to meet Skyler one last time. She tells him that Hank and Gomez’s bodies were found, and that the White family is ruined. He gives her the lottery ticket with the coordinates of Hank’s grave. breaking bad season 5

Walt uses the Nazis (Jack’s gang) to kill Declan and his crew and take over the distribution. He cooks a massive batch of 99.1% pure meth—his finest work. He then retires. A montage set to "Gliding Over All" by The Silver Mt. Zion shows weeks turning into months: Walt counts piles of cash ($80 million), Skyler becomes a nervous wreck running the car wash, Hank gives up on Heisenberg… and then, Hank sits on the toilet. He picks up the book Gale gave Walt, Leaves of Grass . Inside, Gale has written: "To my other favorite W.W." Hank’s face drops. He knows. Heisenberg has been under his nose the whole time. Part 2: The Fall (Episodes 9-16) The Hunt: Hank is consumed. He goes off-book, secretly rebuilding the case with his partner, Steve Gomez. He confronts Walt in the garage, punching him. Walt tries to lie, then gaslights him: "If you don't know who I am, maybe your best course is to tread lightly." The cat-and-mouse game is brutal. Walt tries to pay Hank off. Hank refuses. Walt tries to frame Hank (using a fake confession video portraying Hank as the drug lord). Nothing works. Walt devises a plan: a coordinated hit on

A brutal shootout erupts. Gomez is killed. Hank, wounded, stands his ground. Walt begs Jack: "Don’t do it! The money! I’ll give you all of it! Just let him go!" Jack coldly replies, "No." He executes Hank in front of Walt. Jack takes most of Walt’s $80 million, leaving him one barrel. Walt, hysterical, is forced to reveal where the rest is buried. Jesse, hidden in Hank’s car, is discovered. Walt watches as Jack’s men drag Jesse out. Walt, filled with hate for Jesse (whom he blames for Hank), tells Jack, "You're gonna need him. He's the cook." Then, quietly: "Do what you're gonna do." He gives Jesse up to be enslaved. Mike wants to pay the men "hazard pay"

Their methylamine is running out. Declan cuts off supply. Lydia suggests stealing a tanker car of methylamine from a passing train. The plan is a masterpiece of precision: Walt, Jesse, and Todd (a bug-eyed, polite, sociopathic pest control worker Jesse brought on) must drain the car while the train is moving, replace it with water, and vanish within 90 seconds. They succeed perfectly. As they celebrate, a kid on a dirt bike, Drew Sharp, appears from the desert, having witnessed everything. Before anyone can react, Todd calmly draws a pistol and shoots the boy dead.

Mike decides to "retire" by selling his share of the methylamine to Declan for $5 million. Walt demands Mike give him the names of the nine lawyers who handle the hazard payments. Mike refuses. A heated argument ends with Walt pulling a gun. Mike taunts him: "You just had to be the man. You just had to win. You couldn't let it go. You're not half the man Gus was." Walt shoots him. Then, in a moment of haunting humanity, Walt realizes he could have gotten the names from Lydia. Mike dies alone by a river, telling Walt to "shut the fuck up" and let him die in peace.

Walt’s ego explodes. He buys a fleet of luxury cars, including two flashy new Chrysler 300s. He bullies Saul into taking a huge cut. He demands that Jesse take on the role of his partner, not his equal. The partnership with Mike frays. Mike is the professional; Walt is the arrogant chemist. After a tense desert deal where Walt kills a rival dealer just to prove a point, Mike tells Jesse, "You’re a time bomb ticking. I’m telling you, sooner or later, you’re going to realize you’re standing next to the guy who killed Gus Frier… and you’re going to want to kill him."
