Episode 1: Live Free or Die

In a flash-forward, Walt sits in a diner and arranges his bacon into the number 52: it's his birthday. The waitress

tells him that meals are free on birthdays, so Walt flashes her a New Hampshire driver's license with his photo o

it.

A man walks in it's Lawson, the gun dealer from whom Walt purchased his .38 revolver. Walt follows him into

the bathroom, where he hands Lawson a thick envelope in exchange for a set of keys. Lawson asks for Walt's

assurance that the acquisition won't wind up in Mexico, and then leaves. Walt coughs and pops some pills.

As he leaves the restaurant, the waitress calls out, "Happy birthday, Mr. Lambert."

In the parking lot, Walt opens the trunk of a white Volvo and takes out a duffel bag. Using the clicker he got from

Lawson, he finds a nearby car and opens the trunk: inside, there's an M60 machine gun. He scans the lot, tosse

in the duffel and slams the trunk.

Backing up from where we left off last season, Walt calls Skylershortly afterGus's death. "I won," he tells her.

At home, Walt gathers the bomb-making materials in a trash bag and stuffs it in his car trunk. Afterwards he pou

himself a drink, but stops short when he remembers the Lily of the Valley plant which he then gets rid of as

well.

Walter, Jr. and Skyler arrive. Jr. chatters excitedly about Gus's death, boasting that Uncle Hank is gonna be a

hero, even more so than before.

Walt joins Skyler in the bedroom, where she's quietly unpacking. He asks if she's relieved to see him alive. She

says she is, but also scared. "Scared of what?" Walt asks. "You," she answers.

Alone, Walt coos at baby Holly, calm... until he suddenly rushes from the bedroom. Whatever he just

remembered, it's urgent.

Hank and Gomez sift through the remains of the superlab: Hank's moment of triumph. Hank spots an object

mounted on the wall and speculates it's a melted security camera.

Mike is convalescing in Mexico when the doctor who'd treated Gus after the Cartel bloodbath informs him that

Gus is dead. Later, he speeds down a dusty road. Another car barrels toward him. They pass each other then

screech to a halt. Walt and Jessejump out of the other car. Mike points his gun at Walt but Jesse stands betwee

them.

Walt tells Mike that the footage from Gus's security cameras will give them away. Mike says the video files would

be on a laptop Gus kept in his office.

At Los Pollos, Hank watches the police bag Gus's laptop and label it for evidence.

At Jesse's house, Mike calls the police pretending to be a USPS employee investigating Gus for meter fraud. Helearns that the police have the laptop and scoffs at Walt's thought that they could retrieve it, explaining the

evidence room is guarded around the clock. Jesse repeatedly suggests using a magnet, which eventually gives

Walt an idea...

Later, Walt, Jesse and Mike talk to Old Joe the junkyard owner that destroyed the RV who declares their

plan "doable, but expensive." Walt asks Jesse to spot his share of the cost. Although Mike expresses skepticism

about the plan, Jesse insists they need him.

Saul visits Skyler at the car wash and cryptically and solemnly warns her the police may call her about Ted.

"Ted's dead?" she asks, tearing up. "No, he just woke up," Saul says.

Episode 2: Madrigal

At a test kitchen in Germany, Madrigal Electromotive executive Peter Schuler glumly tastes a variety of dipping

sauces. His secretary interrupts to inform him the police have arrived. On his way to face his fate, Schuler grabs

an automatic defibrillator and locks himself in the bathroom. As the authorities pound on the door, Schuler places

one of the AED contacts in his mouth and electrocutes himself.

Panicked, Jesse tells Walt over the phone that the Rican cigarette is still missing, fearing an innocent bystander

might find it. After promising to help Jesse look for it, Walt fills a similar vial with salt and creates a duplicate

cigarette. He then stashes the real Rican which he retrieved from Saul previously behind a wall outlet cove

in his bedroom at the White house.

Walt and Jesse toss his house, searching desperately for the cigarette. On the verge of giving up, Jesse heeds

Walt's suggestion to check the Roomba where he finds the fake Rican cigarette. Devastated, broken, Jesse

apologizes for accusing Walt of poisoning Brock.

Walt and Jesse visit Mike and announce plans to start cooking again, but Mike refuses to partner up. "You are a

time bomb," he tells Walt. "I have no intention of being around for the boom."

Hank, Gomez and Merkert meet with Madrigal executives. The head of Madrigal is shocked at Schuler's death,

and remorseful. He pledges Madrigal's cooperation with the DEA investigation.

Hank and Gomez share a drink with Merkert, who has been quietly pushed out for his personal relationship with

Gus and for failing to sniff out Gus's drug empire. Hank says he managed to peek at the laptop before the

evidence room debacle, but it was encrypted he doubts theyd have gotten much off it anyway. "So Hector

Salamanca killed Fring, but who gave Salamanca the bomb?" Merkert asks. Gomez mentions APD's discovery o

Gus's secret offshore bank accounts as a possible lead.

Mike meets Lydia, one of the Madrigal executives, at a diner. She hands him a list of eleven men who were on

Gus's payroll and suggests Mike kill them before they can implicate either of them. Mike shoots down the idea,

vouching for his men.

At home, Skylerrefuses to get out of bed, insisting someone else can open the car wash for her. Walt suggests

she take a shower to feel better, and she wordlessly obliges: after his eerie absolution, she seems like a shadow

of herself.

Mike walks into the DEA offices as Chow, the proprietor of Gus's chemical warehouse, walks out. "You know the

talked to me," Chow says nervously. If Mike is unnerved by that news, he doesn't show a hint of it.

In an interrogation room, Mike tells Hank that he worked for Los Pollos as head of corporate security. Hank

doesn't buy his story, but admits he doesnt have enough evidence to arrest Mike. As Mike leaves, Hank mention

that they traced Gus's offshore accounts to eleven men including a $2 million account in Mike's granddaughte

Kaylee's name. Mike pauses, but then says he has no idea what theyre talking about: even though the Feds hav

seized his money, he still won't crack.

Walt and Jesse visit Saul to discuss finding a new venue for the lab, preferably nearby and not in an RV. Saul

says an in-town venue will be difficult, but Walt snaps, "If Gus can manage it, then so can we."

Jesse reports that he was able to find all the precursor chemicals except for methylamine. Walt encourages Jess

to keep looking for methylamine, but Jesse doubts he'll be able to scare any up. When Saul advises they pull out

of the meth business, Walt snaps back that he's broke. "Does that seem like an acceptable stopping point to

you?"

4/16

Mike is playing a board game with his granddaughter when Chow calls to say the DEA threatened to take his

money. "We gotta talk, not on the phone," Chow says. "Can you come to my house?" Chow hangs up and looks

at Chris one of Mike's former henchmen who's holding him at gunpoint: someone is setting a trap for Mike.

From inside Chow's house, Chris watches Mike walk toward the front door and puts his gun muzzle to the

peephole. He hears a strange sound and looks through the peephole, where he sees a suspended toy pig Mike

borrowed from Kaylee's old toys at his apartment. Suddenly, Mike is behind Chris and orders him to drop the gun

Chris admits that Lydia was going to pay him $30,000 to kill Mike and $10,000 for each man on the list, starting

with Chow who's already dead on the couch. Mike shoots him dead with a sigh.

Later, Mike travels to Houston, sneaks into Lydia's house and pulls her into a bedroom at gunpoint. Lydia begs

him to leave her body in the house so that her daughter won't think she was abandoned. On the verge of shootin

her, something stops him. He hesitates and asks if she can still get her hands on methylamine. "Maybe," she

says. "Why?"

Clearly in a corner, and not happy about the decision he's about to make, Mike calls Walt and agrees to a

partnership. "Good," Walt says and hangs up. He washes the dishes and then climbs into bed with Skyler, who

refuses to face him.

"What you're feeling right now, about Ted, everything. It'll pass," he says, caressing her arm and kissing her."When we do what we do for good reasons, then we've got nothing to worry about," he continues. "And there's n

better reason than family."

Skyler, shell-shocked and unable to bring herself to stop him, stares silently ahead as Walt fondles her

unresponsive body.

Episode 3: Hazard Pay

Posing as a paralegal, Mike visits Dennis, the manager ofGus' industrial laundry, in jail. During the meeting,

Dennis's lawyer, Dan, tunes out and listens to music: he doesn't want to hear what Mike has to say to Dennis

about their ongoing collusion. Mike reassures Dennis that the deal he had with Gus is still in place and he should

stay quiet.

Dennis swears he's loyal to Mike but since the feds took his hazard pay, and everyone else's, "Sooner or later

someone's gonna flip." Mike guarantees everyone will get paid, and they shake on it.

In the hallway, Mike and Dan go through the list of Mike's guys and where they're being held. It's going to be a

long, tiring day, but the two of them are going to see all of them.

Skylerfinds Walt in high spirits as he unpacks boxes in the bedroom. It's official: he's decided to move back in.

When she questions whether this is a good idea, he doesn't pay her any mind.

Mike waits outside Saul's office while Huell guards the door. Inside, Walt and Jesse assuage Saul's doubts abou

working with Mike, who once threatened to break Saul's legs. They let Mike in and he lays down ground rules: H

runs the business, Walt and Jesse cover production. Saul privately asks Walt if he's okay with the arrangement,

but Walt's unfazed: "He handles the business, and I handle him."

Saul takes the team on a tour of potential new lab venues, but Walt, Jesse, and Mike nix them all, spotting

logistical problems with each. Jesse and Mike are ready to dismiss the final venue, a pest control business, but

Walt demurs, declaring, "It's perfect."

The next day, the four watch the pest-control team as it tents an infested home. Walt explains his plan: If they

cook inside houses undergoing fumigation, no one will bother them or question strange smells. They can hide in

plain sight. Saul says the pest crew, run by a man named Ira, runs a burglary operation on the side and knows

how to keep secrets. Mike suggests a vote. "Why?" asks Walt: he's already convinced, and so is Jesse.

Skinny Pete and Badgerpurchase four giant roadie cases from the local guitar store and wheel them into the pes

control headquarters the cases have been stenciled, "Vamonos Pest." They ask Jesse to get in on his new

business, but Jesse doesn't bite.

Mike debriefs the pest control crew and forbids stealing from the houses. He also orders them never to engage

with Walt and Jesse without an invitation. "On the other hand, if they tell you to jump, you don't ask what for," he

says. "You jump."

At Jesse's house, Walt and Jesse finalize plans for the mobile lab. They're interrupted by Andrea, who stops by

with Brock and invites Walt to stay for dinner. Walt sits uncomfortably with Brock on the couch; it's impossible to

say if the boy recognizes Walt as the man who poisoned him, but Walt is certainly uncomfortable in Brock's

presence.

After the homeowners leave, Walt and Jesse pull up to an infested house in a Vamonos truck. An employee,Todd, tells Walt that he disabled a nanny-cam in the living room.

Walt and Jesse assemble the lab from the roadie cases and cook in a sealed tent inside the house. During a

break, they watch TV and drink beer on the living room couch. Walt inquires about Andrea and says Jesse can

decide for himself whether to tell her about their work if he can't confide in her, then there's no way they can

keep going. "Seriously?" Jesse asks. "I know you'll make the right call," Walt says. "If she loves you, she'll

understand." A seed of consternation and discontent nearly effortlessly planted by Walt.

6/16

At the car wash, Marie tells Skyler that Hank is back at work and insists Skyler plan a party for Walt's birthday.

When Skyler takes out a cigarette, Marie chastises her. "Shut up!" Skyler screams. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

she repeats, breaking down in tears. Marie is concerned and baffled by the outburst.

In the new "lab," Jesse and Walt weigh the meth and Walt admires the yield. As they leave the house, Jesse set

off the fumigation system to finish the pest control work.

Walt finds Marie waiting for him at home. Skyler is resting in the bedroom as Marie recounts Skyler's breakdown

and presses Walt for a reason, concerned for her sister's well being. Walt tells her the half-truth that Skyler had a

affair with Ted Beneke, who is now in the hospital. Marie is shocked, but Walt, manipulating Marie, begs her to

keep it a secret from Hank.

At Jesse's house, Andrea and Brock play video games while Jesse zones out. Andrea asks if he's okay. "I'm

good," he says, but he's clearly unsettled. The seed Walt planted is starting to grow

After rousing herself from bed, Skyler finds Walt and Walter, Jr. watching Scarface in the living room. She stares

silently as the two revel in Al Pacino's shooting rampage. Like Jesse was with Andrea, she's unsettled by this

tableau.

Back at the Vamonos office, Mike divides the profit into three piles $367,000 each. He takes money from each

pile to pay for distribution drivers and Ira's crew. But Walt balks when Mike takes additional money from each pileto pay his nine jailed men. Jesse offers to cover Walt's share but Walt finally relents, bitterly laughing at his net

reduced profit. "It's less than with Fring," he notes. "Just because you shot Jesse James don't make you Jesse

James," Mike replies.

After Mike leaves, Walt asks Jesse how he's feeling. Jesse glumly reports that he broke up with Andrea. Walt cu

him short; he was asking about the money. Jesse reasons they're ultimately getting a bigger piece of the pie, so

they shouldn't complain.

Walt disagrees, and brings up Victor. Maybe, he surmises, Gus didn't just kill Victor to send a message. "Victor

trying to cook that batch on his own, taking liberties that werent his to take?" Walt says. "Maybe he flew too close

to the sun &38212; got his throat cut." Jesse watches Walt walk away, thinking about exactly what that means fotheir fledgling new enterprise.

Episode 4: Fifty-One

Walt and Walter, Jr. pick up the Aztec from an auto repair shop, getting an impromptu history of all the repairs th

beleaguered vehicle's been through this year. Still, the mechanic says the sturdy car has a lot of miles left in it.

Walt retrieves his Heisenberg porkpie hat from the front seat, and not thrilled at the prospect of driving this ca

until the day he dies sells the car to the mechanic for $50.

Afterward, Walt pulls into the driveway in a brand-new Chrysler. Walter, Jr., watching from his PT Cruiser, gives

the car mild approval. Walt gets the message: it's hard to love your dad's new ride when youre cruising in a mom

mobile. A few hours later, Walt pulls into the driveway followed by Jr. in a new Dodge Challenger the same

model Skylerinsisted go back to the dealership months ago. They both rev their engines, giddy with exhilaration

At Madrigal in Houston, Lydia receives a call from Mike, who warns that the police are about to arrive. A few

seconds later, Hank and Gomez enter with officers in tow. Lydia escorts them to the Madrigal warehouse and

points out Ron, the foreman. Ron stares daggers at her as the officers arrest him: she's thrown one of her own to

the wolves.

Back in her office Lydia calls Mike, hysterical about Ron's arrest. He reassures her that Ron won't talk, but she

says she cannot continue to supply methylamine without someone in the warehouse. "I'll send a new guy," Mike

says simply.

Skyler pulls up to the driveway and finds that she's forced to park on the street thanks to Walt and Walter, Jr.'s

new cars.

At dinner, Walt and Walter, Jr. playfully debate whose car is faster. Walt boasts of doing donuts while a silent

Skyler looks on, not happy with this ostentatious new development.

As they prepare for bed, Walt assures Skyler that the cars can still fit their gambling story since they're only

leases, not purchases. He then lays a small stack of bills on the bathroom counter. "You're back at it?" she asks

"Have to make up that $600,000 we lost," he says, getting in a dig about her relationship with Ted.

In bed, Skyler suggests sending the kids to boarding school to offer them a change of environment. When Walt

asks what's wrong with their current environment, she clams up. Brazen, he promises "clear sailing" from here o

out. Rubbing her shoulders and trying to set her at ease, he suggests maybe the best way to get back to

normalcy is for her to throw him a birthday party.

The next morning, Skyler presents Walt with a bacon-and-eggs breakfast, impassively arranging the bacon into

the number 51 only after Walter, Jr. insists.

Hank and Gomez are examining a flowchart ofGus's empire when SAC Ramey arrives. Complimenting Hank on

his police-work, Ramey offers Hank the position of ASAC that Merkert has vacated, though he warns it'll mean

giving up his pursuit of Heisenberg to a field agent. Hank accepts.

On the way to the White house, Marie lets slip to Hank that she's learned something troubling about Skyler, butpromised Walt she wouldn't say any more. "It involves infidelity and that's all I'm going to say," she bursts out,

then clarifying that it's not Walt who was unfaithful, but Skyler. Hank is surprised.

That evening, Walt, Skyler, Walter, Jr., Hank and Marie finish a low-key birthday dinner in the Whites' back yard.

After Walter, Jr. excuses himself, Walt points out that it's been a year since his cancer diagnosis. As he

reminisces about the early days of his treatment, Skyler slowly descends into the pool, fully-clothed, and sinks to

the bottom. Panicked, Marie and Hank rush around the edge of the pool until Walt plunges in to pull her out.

In Houston, Lydia opens a loading bay door to find Jesse outside. She takes him to the warehouse, where he

uses a forklift to grab a barrel of methylamine. As Jesse lowers the barrel, Lydia yells for him to stop. "Please tel

me that's not what I think it is," she says, pointing her flashlight at a GPS tracker affixed to the bottom of the

barrel.

As Skyler rests in the bedroom, Walt tells Hank about his marital issues, confirming Marie's story. Marie suggest

she and Hank look after the kids until their issues are resolved. At Walt's prodding, Marie admits the plan is

Skyler's idea.

In the bedroom, Walt tells Skyler that Marie took the kids but asserts it is only a temporary situation. Skyler puts

her foot down and says that even though she herself has been compromised, "I will not have my children living in

a house where dealing drugs and hurting people and killing people is shrugged off as 's happens.'"

Skyler threatens to claim spousal abuse if Walt brings the kids home, but Walt argues she wouldn't want the

police involved, nor would she want to hurt Walter, Jr. with that assertion and taunts her to come up with a better

plan. She finally breaks down. "All I can do is wait," she says. "Wait for what?" Walt asks. "For the cancer to com

back," she replies. Walt recoils as if he's been slapped in the face.

The next day at Vamonos Pest, Jesse and Mike discuss the GPS device while Walt listens silently. Suspicious o

the GPS's sloppy installation, Mike learns that Lydia was the one who spotted it and concludes she planted it to

extricate herself from the business. Mike vows to kill her, even if it means slowing down business for a while.

Jesse turns to Walt for a vote to spare Lydia's life.

Walt doesn't care about Lydia, but the supply problem does bother him: "Nothing stops this train," Walt finally

says. It's clear that this is the end of the discussion.

Outside, Jesse compliments Walt on his plan for dealing with Lydia, then hands him a birthday present: an

expensive wristwatch.

Returning home, Walt tries to make small talk with Skyler and informs her that there's more money coming. Whe

she makes no reply, Walt shows off Jesse's gift. "The person who gave me this present wanted me dead, too," h

tells her. "He changed his mind about me, Skyler, and so will you."

In bed, Walt looks at his watch on the bedside table, then turns off the light. The watch ticks in the darkness,

growing louder and louder as the seconds go by.

Episode 5: Dead Freight

A boy on a dirt bike zips through the desert, pausing to marvel at a tarantula. As it crawls across his hand, he

hears a train whistle in the distance. He puts the tarantula in a glass jar, jumps back on his bike and zooms off.

Hank is settling into his new office, following his promotion to ASAC, when Walt stops by. Walt thanks Hank for

taking the kids, then breaks down and tearfully confides that Skylerdoesn't love him any more. Uncomfortable

with this upwelling of emotion, Hank closes the office blinds and offers to fetch them both some coffee. As soon

as Hank exits the room, Walt springs into action. He pulls open a framed photo of Hank and Marie, and plants a

tiny electronic listening device inside. As Hank walks back in, Walt hurries to reassemble the frame. "You two are

so great together," Walt tells Hank, still holding the photo and feigning a nearly tearful state.

Mike, Walt, and Jesse kidnap Lydia and bring her to an abandoned warehouse, where they handcuff her to a

table. At Mike's orders, she calls Hank to report that she spotted what looked like a GPS device on one of

Madrigal's methylamine barrels, and to ask how she should handle that development. On a laptop, Jesse taps in

the bug Walt planted in Hank's office, and they all listen as Hank and Gomez puzzle over who planted the GPS

device supporting Mike's belief that it was Lydia who did.

As Lydia protests her innocence, Hank calls the Houston DEA office and learns that his colleagues in Texas did

indeed tag the methylamine barrels not just the one that Lydia spotted, but all of them. Still, Mike maintains

they should kill Lydia. "She's a loose cannon," he says. "The woman put a hit out on me." Besides, her barrels ofmethylamine are now all useless to them. Desperate, Lydia blurts out that she can direct them to "an ocean" of

methylamine.

Walt talks one-on-one with Lydia, who demands a guarantee that she wont be killed once she reveals the

methylamine source. When Walt asks why she went after Mike, she says she couldn't abide his decision to pay

off rather than kill his nine men in prison, a complaint Walt definitely shares. She asks him to swear on his

children's lives that she won't be harmed, then reveals how Walt can obtain 24,000 gallons of methylamine.

Once Walt brings Mike and Jesse back into the warehouse, Lydia lays down a map revealing the route for a train

carrying a tanker car full of methylamine. She zeroes in on a three-mile stretch of "dark territory" a dead zone

for all lines of communication and suggests they rob the train there. Mike points out that in order to get awaywith the robbery, they'll have to kill the innocent train crew, which deeply troubles Jesse. Stymied, the guys head

back to Albuquerque.

At the Schrader residence, Hank and Marie play with Baby Holly and discuss Walter, Jr.'s sullen behavior. Junio

briefly emerges to grab a soda from the kitchen, but retreats back to his guest room with a snide comment: he's

clearly not thrilled to be living in exile.

At Jesse's house, Mike advocates foregoing methylamine altogether and scrounging cold pills again. Walt argue

that they would have to take a loss on their new equipment and a pseudo cook would drastically reduce their

output, darkly reminding him that they have to keep cooking to cover the hazard pay for Mike's men. As the two

bicker, Jesse speaks up: "What if we can rip off that train and no one ever knows it got robbed?"

Starting from the crossroads of train tracks, Walt, Jesse and Mike measure a span of railroad track with a

surveyor's wheel. Jesse reads out distances as they walk, then stops at a low trestle bridge. "We do it here," he

declares.

Later, a bulldozer digs a shallow pit under the trestle into which two large and empty containers are lowered. As

Walt smoothes dirt over the freshly-buried containers, Todd from Vamonos Pest arrives with a water truck.

As Todd fills one of the containers, Jesse and Walt explain their plan to siphon the train's methylamine tank and

refill it with water so that the cargo will weigh the same at both the train's origin and terminus. The batch will be

only slightly diluted, Walt says, which Madrigal will blame on the supplier in China.

Walter, Jr. has returned home against his mother's wishes, and Skyler unsuccessfully tries to coax him out of his

room. When Walt arrives, Walter, Jr. demands to know why he's being forced to stay at his aunt and uncle's

house. Walt lays down the law, and an embittered Junior dutifully obeys his father and heads out.

Walt expects Skyler to thank him for holding the line with Junior and kicking him out, but instead she coldly

reiterates that as long as Walt is in the drug business, the kids must never return. "You agree to that, and I will be

whatever kind of partner you want me to be," she says. Wryly noting Walt's dirty pants, Skyler asks, "Out burying

bodies?"

"Robbing a train," Walt coolly replies.

The next day, Walt, Jesse and Todd wait by the trestle bridge. With a hidden Mike standing guard nearby, Saul's

henchman Kuby parks a dump truck directly on the train tracks at the crossroads, pretending the truck has broke

down. The train is forced to stop. With Kuby distracting the train crew, our guys jump into action beneath the

trestle bridge. As Todd climbs to the top of the tanker with the water hose, Jesse siphons methylamine out the

bottom.

Back at the crossroads, a "Good Samaritan" arrives and offers to push Kuby's truck off the tracks. Mike alerts

Walt to abort, but Walt refuses and insists that Jesse and Todd keep going until they've obtained the targeted

1,000 gallons of methylamine. Just as they finish, the train starts moving again. Todd jumps down from the side o

the tanker car, but Jesse is forced to lay flat as the train rolls right over him.

The heist a success, the three begin cheering. The noise dies down as Walt turns off the water pump, allowing

the guys to become aware of the purr of a small engine. It's the boy on his motorized dirt bike, idling nearby. The

boy waves at them. Todd waves back, then immediately pulls out a gun. Jesse cries out to stop him, but it's too

late: Todd fires.

The boy topples off the bike and falls to the ground, his glass jar rolling out beside him. As the boy lies motionlesin the sand, the trapped tarantula claws at the walls of its cage.

Episode 6: Buyout

At Vamonos Pest, Walt, Mike and Todd silently unload the train heist equipment from a dirt-filled dump truck. Lik

surgeons, they dismantle the motorbike ridden by the boy that Todd shot, placing all the parts into a barrel, then

pouring hydrofluoric acid over them in order to dissolve the evidence. As Walt readies another barrel, Todd digs

through the dirt, uncovering the boy's arm. The guys wince, dreading the task ahead.

Todd joins a tormented Jesse outside for a cigarette. "Shit happens, huh?" Todd offers. Enraged by Todd's

attempt to make conversation, Jesse punches Todd in the face.

Later in the Vamonos office, Todd tries to justify his actions: "It was him or us," Todd insists, "and I chose us."

Before he leaves, Todd pleads to be allowed to stay in the operation, boasting that his uncle's prison connection

could help them out.

Alone with Mike and Jesse, Walt reviews their options: fire Todd, dispose of him, or keep him working for them

under close watch. Walt and Mike vote for option three, despite Jesse's protests.

Mike informs Todd that he's still on the crew, for now. "The next time you bring a gun to a job without telling me,"

he warns, "I will stick it up your ass sideways."

Back in his car, Todd breathes a sigh of relief, then takes the dead boy's tarantula out of his bag and marvels at

Gomez and another DEA agent surveil Mike, who's at the park with his granddaughter. They watch Mike stow a

note under a garbage can. Gomez, thinking it's a dead drop, excitedly retrieves the note after Mike leaves. His

face falls when he sees the message: "F you."

Mike listens in via the bug planted in Hank's office as Gomez reports on the incident to Hank. Hank predicts that

Mike is bound to make a mistake eventually.

While visiting Holly at Hank and Marie's house, Skylertears up. She misses the kids, but knows she needs to sta

away to keep them safe. "Safe from what?" Marie asks. "From Walt and me," she explains.

Marie urges Skyler to unburden herself, promising that there isn't anything Skyler couldn't talk to her about. Righas Skyler seems about to let the floodgates open, Marie blurts out that she knows about Skyler's affair with Ted.

Realizing that Walt has already gotten to Marie, Skyler coolly plays along.

While taking a break from cooking, Walt and Jesse catch a TV news report about the dead boy, who's been

reported missing. Noting Jesse's distress, Walt turns off the TV and sensitively assures him there will be "plenty

time for soul-searching" once theyve exhausted the methylamine and made their money.

Walt offers to finish the cook alone, a proposal that Jesse gratefully accepts. However, as Jesse leaves, he

overhears Walt whistling happily. Jesse pauses, shocked at his partner's apparently upbeat attitude in the wake

their role in this boy's death.

Later, Walt drops off the latest batch of meth at Vamonos Pest, where he finds Mike and Jesse conferring in the

office. Mike tells Walt that the DEA is tailing him, and declares that he's quitting the business. Barely concealing

his pleasure at this news, Walt tells Mike that he'll have to teach Jesse how to manage the distribution end of the

business. Jesse, unable to look Walt in the eye, says that he's out, too.

Mike outlines a plan to sell his and Jesse's share of two-thirds of the methylamine to a Phoenix connection for $5

million apiece. Walt accuses Jesse of selling out, but Jesse disagrees. "Are we in the meth business or the mone

business?" he argues.

Out in the desert, Mike and Jesse give their potential buyer, Declan, a methylamine sample. Declan agrees to th

$10 million price if it means getting the blue meth off the market, but quickly deduces that they have a third

partner who still intends to cook. He calls the deal off unless they agree to sell all 1000 gallons of methylamine to

him.

At the White residence, Jesse begs Walt to sell his share, insisting $5 million is more than enough. Walt refuses

and recounts how he sold his share of Gray Matter now worth $2.16 billion for a mere $5,000. "I sold my

kids' birthright for a few months' rent," he says, declaring that he's in neither the meth nor the money business, b

rather in the empire business.

Skyler arrives home and Walt brazenly re-introduces her to Jesse. He insists that Jesse stay for dinner. Skyler

grudgingly obliges.

During dinner, Jesse makes small talk while Skyler drinks copious amounts of wine. When Jesse mentions he's

heard great things about Skyler from Walt, she pointedly asks Jesse if Walt told him about her affair, then

excuses herself from the table.

Walt confides in Jesse that Skyler forced him to send the kids away, and that she is counting the days until his

cancer returns. "This business is all I have left now," he mourns, "And you want to take it away from me."

Later in the evening, a desperate Walt rushes to the Vamonos garage, seeking to steal the tank of methylamine

before Jesse and Mike can sell it. Mike, predicting that Walt would try this, catches him in the act. He holds Walt

at gunpoint for the rest of the night so that Walt doesn't have a chance to ruin Mike's plan.

In the morning, Mike tells Walt that he needs to leave Vamonos for a short while to take care of an errand. Not

trusting Walt to be left alone, he zip-cuffs Walt to a radiator and exits. Seeing no way to wrest himself loose from

the zipcuff, Walt tries to knock a nearby coffee pot off a filing cabinet hoping to use the broken glass to cut

himself free. Unfortunately, the pot doesn't break, and the only thing left within his reach is the coffee maker's

power cord, which is plugged into a surge protector.

Using his teeth, Walt strips the power cord down to the wire. Bracing himself, he turns the surge protector on,

creating an electric arc between the wires that burns through the plastic cuff on his wrist. Finally free, he runs to

nearby water cooler and pours cold water over his badly injured wrist.

Meanwhile, tending to his errand, Mike visits the DEA offices with Saul. Saul tells Hank and Gomez that their

ongoing surveillance of Mike is tantamount to stalking, and that he's filed for a Temporary Restraining Order with

a sympathetic judge.

Afterward, Saul tells Mike that the TRO won't hold up long, and Hank will be back on his tail with a vengeance

within twenty-four hours. "It's enough," Mike says.

Back at Vamonos, Mike goes looking for the tanker of methylamine, but finds the garage cleaned out. He angrily

storms into the office, where Walt and Jesse wait. Mike shoves a gun in Walt's face, demanding to know where

the methylamine is. Jesse cries out that Walt has a plan that will make everyone happy. "Is that true, Walter?"

Mike asks. Walt stares back at Mike. "Everybody wins," he promises.

Back at the bank, Gomez and his men walk in on Dan as he makes another round of legacy payments. Dan's

caught, red-handed; Gomez can't help but grin.

Walt visits Hank at work and again sobs about his marital problems, asking Hank for coffee. Walt removes the

bug before Hank returns, then overhears Gomez briefing Hank on the Wachsberger interrogation: "He's willing to

give us Ehrmantraut," Gomez says, celebrating with Hank.

While watching Kaylee play in the park, Mike receives a call from Dan, who requests a meet. Mike senses

something wrong, but doesn't notice anything amiss in the park. Walt then calls and frantically warns that the DE

is coming for him. A patrol car drives up, and cops flank Mike's car, searching for him. Mike steals one last look a

Kaylee before fleeing the cops who are closing in.

In his office, Saul worries that Mike will flip if captured. "He won't flip," Jesse insists, but Walt worries that one of

his nine men will. Mike then calls, asking Saul to fetch his go-bag. With the police watching Saul's movements,

and Jesse out of the business, Walt volunteers to retrieve it.

At the airport, Walt grabs the duffel bag from Mike's car and opens it, finding cash, a passport, and a holstered

revolver inside.

Walt meets Mike in a remote area near the Rio Grande. Handing over the duffel, Walt insists Mike reveal the

names of his nine men. Mike refuses, ranting at Walt for ruining a "good thing" by destroying Gus's empire. "It waperfect, but no you just had to blow it up," Mike sneers. "You and your pride and your ego, you just had to be the

man. If youd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now."

Walt storms off, infuriated, but quickly doubles back toward Mike.

Meanwhile, Mike opens the duffel bag in his car and finds the revolver missing from its holster. Immediately Walt

appears outside his window and fires.

Mike slams the car into gear and drives off, but quickly crashes into a nearby rock. Walt, in shock, cautiously

approaches the car and finds it empty. He follows Mike's blood trail into the reeds by the Rio Grande, where Mike

is sitting quietly on a rock, bleeding to death.

Walt gently takes another gun from Mike's hand and looks off, dazed. "I just realized that Lydia has the names,"

Walt says. "I'm sorry, Mike, this whole thing could've been avoided if"

Mike cuts him off: "Shut the f up and let me die in peace," he says.

Walt and Mike stare silently at the river until Mike slumps over, dead.

Episode 8: Gliding Over All

Lost in his thoughts at the empty Vamonos Pest office, Walt stares at a fly that has landed on the desk in front of

him. Transfixed, he doesn't seem to notice when Todd enters the office. "The car has been dealt with, sir," Todd

says softly, confirming that Old Joe crushed Mike's car at the junkyard. "Should we deal with this other thing

now?"

Grimacing, they open the trunk of Walt's car. Mike's body lies motionless inside. "It had to be done," Walt insists

as they prep a barrel and hydrofluoric acid. "Okay," says an agreeable Todd. Right before they get started, the

garage door unexpectedly rolls open. Todd slams the trunk shut as Jesse walks in, demanding to know if Mike g

away. "He's gone," Walt evades.

Worried that Mike's men are liable to talk to the DEA now that their hazard pay is gone, Jesse wonders what the

plan of action should be. "There is no 'we,' Jesse. I'm the only vote left," Walt chides. "And I'll handle it." With tha

Walt closes the garage door in Jesse's face.

Dennis and a public defender meet with Hank and an Assistant U.S. Attorney. The public defender states that his

client is willing to give up details ofFring's operation, but only if the DEA drops all charges and offers him

immunity. Hank refuses, boasting that he has eight other guys like Dennis locked up, not to mention Mike's

lawyer.

At a coffee shop, Walt asks Lydia for the names of Mike's men. Concerned that Walt will kill her once she gives

up the list, Lydia argues for her continued usefulness by proposing he use Madrigal's resources to expand the

business into the Czech Republic. Walt hears her out, and agrees to a trial run of her plan. Pleased, she shakes

his hand and gives him the names. After she exits, Walt uncovers the Rican vial that he'd intended to poison her

with: she'd been right about his intentions after all.

Walt returns home to hide the Rican once again. He calls Todd, requesting to set up a meeting with Todd's

prison-connected uncle.

In a motel room, Walt sits quietly while Todd's uncle Jack and his crew debate the logistics of killing Mike's men

prison. Finally, Jack tells Walt he can take out all ten guys but not in two minutes as Walt requested. "Figure itout," Walt orders. "That's what I'm paying you for."

At home, Walt stares out a window and consults his watch. Over the course of the next two minutes, all ten men

scattered across three jails are murdered by other inmates. At the DEA, Gomez informs Hank of the killings.

Meanwhile, Walt's cell phone rings. "It's done," Jack tells him.

As Walt plays with Holly at the Schrader home, a TV news anchor reports that authorities are investigating a

coordinated sequence of prison attacks. Hank comes home despondent. After pouring himself and Walt a stiff

drink, Hank reminisces about a summer job tagging trees. That would be a better line of work than "chasing

monsters," he sighs.

Weeks pass as Walt and Todd cook batch after batch. While Todd drops meth off with Declan's driver, Lydia

labels contraband-filled barrels bound for Europe. Walt and Todd count money as it rolls in, and Skylerbalances

the car wash ledger. Everything is going according to plan though the relentlessness of the process seems to be

taking a toll on Walt.

Two months later, at the Schrader house, Marie carefully approaches Skyler about moving the kids back home.

"Maybe at this point the best way to help repair the family would be to repair the family," Marie suggests. Uneasy

Skyler considers.

At home, Skyler finds Walt staring solemnly at the swimming pool. "Take a drive with me," she implores.

Skyler brings Walt to a storage unit and reveals a massive cube of stacked cash. Walt is speechless as she

explains that there's too much money to count, and far too much to launder. "I want my kids back. I want my life

back," she pleads. "How big does this pile have to be?"

Walt gets a CAT Scan. In the bathroom of Dr. Delcavoli's office, he washes his hands and stares at the dented

metal towel dispenser that he pummeled months earlier upon learning that he was in remission.

Jesse, looking worse for wear, dozes off holding a lit cigarette in his filthy house. Walt stops by, and Jesse greet

him warily. As he's hiding his bong, Jesse admits that Saul told him that Walt took care of Mike's men. Even with

that knowledge, he still has no intention of returning to the business. The two reminisce about the old days in the

RV. Jesse wonders why, even after they had money, they chose to keep it. "Inertia," Walt muses.

When Walt leaves, Jesse finds he's left behind two black duffel bags. He nervously unzips a bag and finds it's

filled with cash.

Jesse breathes deeply and collapses to the floor. He takes out a gun he'd been hiding in his waistband and slide

it away across the floor looks like he shared Lydia's fears about Walt's homicidal streak.

Upon his return home, Walt approaches Skyler, who's washing dishes in the White kitchen. "I'm out," he

announces. She stares at him, incredulous. "I'm out," he confirms. Walt smiles bitter sweetly, and leaves Skyler

standing in the kitchen, a glimmer of hope flickering in her eyes.

Later, Walt, Skyler, Marie and Hank enjoy a family meal poolside while Walter, Jr. plays with Holly. Marie and

Skyler talk about hair preferences past and present, while Walt and Hank discuss Hank's homebrew,

Schraderbrau. Walt and Skyler share a small smile at this apparent return to normalcy.

Hank excuses himself from the table, and heads to the bathroom. Searching for reading material, he picks up a

copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass from a magazine basket. Inside the front cover, Hank notices an

inscription: "To my other favorite W.W. Its an honor working with you. Fondly, G.B. A flicker of recognition

crosses Hank's face.

Hank flashes back to the time he consulted Walt about Gale Boetticherslab notebook. Hank reads a note "To

W.W. My Star, My Perfect Silence" and jokes that the initials correspond with Walt's. "You got me," jokes Wal

putting his hands up.

Back in the present, a look of horror crosses Hank's face as the realization sinks in: Walt is Heisenberg.
