The below is a breakdown taken from IMDB.com
Open with a flashback to Walt and Jesse's first cook. We see Jesse complaining about how long things are taking and Walt growing frustrated with his protege's disinterest in the process. While they wait for the meth to cook Walt steps away and calls Skyler. They have a pleasant conversation, discussing dinner and some upcoming plans. We gradually see the desert scene change, as Walt, Jesse and the RV are replaced by the shootout scene.
We see that Hank has been hit in the leg and is out of ammo. Gomez is dead. Hank tries to crawl to Gomez' weapon but Jack stops him before he can get there. They grab his badge and see that Hank and Gomez are DEA. Jack is about to shoot Hank when Walt stops him and says Hank is his brother-in-law. Walt tries to say that the rest of the DEA doesn't know anything and they can work something out. Walt tells Jack about the nearby $80 million in cash and says he'll give it to him if he lets Hank go. Hank tells Jack to screw himself and points out to Walt that Jack's mind was made up ten minutes earlier. Jack shoots Hank, killing him. Walt is devastated.
Jack tells Walt he had a feeling something was going on when he was given specific GPS coordinates. He has brought a shovel. Kenny digs up the barrels and they put them in the truck. Jack decides to give Walter one of his barrels and makes him shake that there is no hard feelings. Walt agrees, but says they still "owe" him Jesse. Jack is fine with killing Jesse, but nobody's seen him since the shooting began. Walt spots Jesse hiding under a car and he's pulled out. Jack points his gun at Jesse and asks for the go-ahead. Walt nods yes. Just before Jack can pull the trigger Todd walks over and says it might be a good idea to torture Jesse back at their place and find out what he's told the feds before killing him. Jack agrees. While Jesse is taken away Walt makes a point to reveal that he watched Jane die and chose not to save her.
Walt drives away with his barrel but runs out of gas. He gets out and starts rolling this barrel through the desert. He comes across and old man living on the reservation and pays him cash for his pickup truck.
Marie stops by the car wash and tells Skyler they need to talk. They go to the office where Marie tells her that Hank has Walt in custody and is currently processing him with Gomez. Marie tells Skyler that she and Hank will do what they can to help her because she is family, but there are conditions. She wants every copy of the "confession" Walt made and demands that Skyler tell Walter Jr. everything.
We see Jesse in a holding cell, clearly having been roughed up quite a bit. Todd gets him out and brings him to the lab. He locks Jesse to a ceiling tether and tells him they are going to cook. A picture of Andrea and Brock has been hung up.
Walter Jr. doesn't believe what he's been told by his mother and aunt, pointing out that if it's true Skyler has been lying to him. He eventually storms out of the room.
Walter arrives home and begins packing bags him for him and the rest of the family. While he's doing this Skyler, Walter Jr. and Holly return home. Walt demands that they pack as quickly as they can. But Skyler won't do anything until Walt tells her what is going on and what happened to Hank. She is convinced that Walt has killed Hank and eventually picks up a kitchen knife. She demand that Walt leave them and a scuffle ensues. Walt is cut on his hand and Walter Jr. picks up the phone and calls the police. While he is telling them what is happening Walt grabs Holly and gets into the truck. Skyler tries to stop him but Walt speeds off.
We see Walt change Holly's diaper in a public bathroom. Holly begins asking for her mother.
Skyler, Marie and Walter Jr. are at home, surrounded by police. The phone rings. It's Walt and the officer tells her to answer. Walt begins to yell at her for not falling in line. He blames her for everything and takes responsibility for killing Hank. He uses that fact as a warning. Eventually Skyler apologizes and asks him to come home. Walt says he has more things to do and hangs up.
Walt leaves Holly in a truck inside a firehouse, turning on the lights so she'll be found.
We see Walt waiting by the side of the road with luggage and his barrel. He's at the meeting place for Saul's guy who makes people disappear. The minivan arrives, Walt gets inside and the vehicle drives away.
*Thoughts*
- Seeing Hank go out was one of those moments that I KNEW was going to happen but I was surprise that it actually did. Hank was a hardass and it was good that he went out as one.
- Having Gomez die off screen was horrible. The character deserved much better than that.
- Seeing Walt begging for Hank's life and offering to give them all of his money in exchange for Hank was one of the most genuine moments that Walt has had in a while.
- Walt, blaming Jesse for getting Hank involved, offered Jesse up to the Nazi's. Then, having Walt tell Jesse about how he saw Jane die and chose not to help her....a swift kick in the gut.
- Somehow Walt Jr. became a freaking Judo master. For a kid that can't walk without crutches, he barrel rolled his old man halfway across the living room.
- I found Skyler to be the most hypocritical she has ever been in this episode. Suddenly she is so self righteous and condemns Walt (for something that he didn't even do). As Walt Jr. put it. She is just as bad as him.
- While I feel bad for Marie for the loss of her husband, it almost felt good to see her FINALLY knocked off of her pedestal.
- Just as I predicted, Jesse is held captive and will be forced to cook. I can only assume that this will lead to Walt storming the compound and trying to break him out.
- The scene with Holly calling for her momma was heartbreaking.
- I find it funny that SO many people are missing the point of the phone call that Walt made to Skyler. He KNEW that the cops would be there and either listening in or recording the call. He worded every bit of that phone call in a manner that would absolve Skyler from the evil deeds that has taken place (even though she was a big part of some of them). He made sure that she could not be implicated. There is nothing to tie her to Walt, his activity, or his money (except for the car wash that I assume will not be brought up in the next two episodes). Walt, in this episode, was finally selfless. And his reward is to be banished to a new life without his family. It's pretty sad.
- I hated the stupid fade in and fade out intro. I realize that it was to show how far down the rabbit hole we are at this point and how much things have changed, but those few minutes could have been used showing Gomez and Hank getting popped.
A+
