*spoilers below*
The gist of this episode is below.
Todd is now able to get his product up to 76% pure, but it lacks the blue color that it has been identified with. Lydia complains about this and Todd, in the creepiest way ever, tries to reassure her that he can get his percentage up and thinks that he can make the product blue again. He then, after she walks away, drinks from her tea mug and does so on her lipstick mark. This cat is a psycho.
Hank, Jesse and Gomez cook up a plan to make Huell talk. They fake a picture of Jesse with his brains blown out, show Huell the picture (they currently have him in a safe house) and told him that Saul and Walt have put a hit out on him. Huell spills his rather large guts about the van, the 7 barrels of money, and that the van was dirty when it was returned. Suggesting that it had been off road.
Walt tells Todd and his Uncle that there is only one target and that it is Jesse. Walt offers to pay triple what he did for the prison job. They say that they will do it for free if Walt will cook for them and teach Todd. Walt agrees to do one cook, after the hit is complete, to show Todd what he is doing wrong.
Walt tries to use Andrea and Brock to smoke Jesse out. It doesn't work as Hank intercepts the call that Andrea places for Walt.
When they realize that there is no GPS on the van that Walt rented, Jesse, Hank and Gomez come up with a plan. They take a picture of a barrel full of money and Jesse tells Walt that he just used the GPS on the van (that doesn't exist) to find out where Walt buried his money and that he is about to burn all 7 barrel. Walt, after losing his cool, takes off in his car and goes to find Jesse. Jesse tells Walt to come straight to where he buried the money and that if Walt hangs up, even for a second, that he will burn it all. Walt tries to reason with Jesse telling him that everything that he has done and everyone that he has ever hurt or killed has been for his and Jesse's best interest.
Walt races to the burial place. After realizing that the money has not yet been excavated, he sees a car approaching. He realized that he has just led Jesse to him. He calls Todd and Jack (Todd's uncle) and gives them the coordinates of where they are and tells them that Jesse is coming and they need to come kill him. When Walt sees Hank and Gomez he, being defeated, tells Jack to call it off.
Walt, after a few minutes of Hank calling for him, comes out with hands up. After he is cuffed he locks into a stare with Jesse. It almost melts the damn TV screen. After minutes of saying nothing, Walt calls Jesse a "coward"...and Jesse responds by spitting in Walt's face.
Hank puts Walt in a the car, Jesse gets in Walt's car (that Gomez will now drive back). Hank and Gomez pat each other on the back over their triumph. Hank calls Marie to tell her that he did it and has everything they need to put Walt away. Then....the Nazi's show up. Uncle Jack and crew pop out with guns readied and Hank and Gomez approach with guns drawn. Jack tells them to show a badge and they will leave. Hank does not, steadily inching closer to their vehicles. Walt, inside of the car, is screaming for Jack to call it off. They open fire on Hank and Gomez. With Hank and Gomez pinned down behind a vehicle, it cuts to black.
*Thoughts*
- Again. Todd is the creepiest person in the world.
- I find it REALLY hard to believe that after Walt, the mastermind of this entire show, was dumb enough to fall for the trick that basically showed the cops where he buried the money. It just isn't logical, to me, that he would be this careless. As some have argued, his greed got the best of him, but it still seems like an easy way to force this conflict to erupt.
- Poor big headed Huell.
- While Walt is pleading with Jesse on the phone, there are moments when you think about how Walt really has done a lot of this for Jesse (as much as he has done for himself). That is the strength of this show. Making you feel bad for the bad guy.
- Once again, Hank has shown that his pride is just as poisonous as Walt's. If he would have just gotten in the car and left (with Walt in tow) he would have been fine. But since he HAD to call Marie and brag about his win, he just sealed his fate.
- Since Dean Norris is the guest on Talking Bad (the discussion show about Breaking Bad) I assume that next week will be the end of the road for Hank and, most likely, Gomez.
-I think that out of the casualties in the next episode, Hank Gomez and Todd will be the most signifigant. I think that the death of Todd will lead to Jesse being taken by Uncle Jack and that they will be forcing him to cook for them. I think that this will lead to Walt storming the compound, with a heavy arsenal in tow, to break Jesse free.
- I think that Walt being left for dead is why he has hallucinations about his past in the next episode, as he may be out there for days.
- I think that the Ricin Walt retrieves in the flash forward will be for Lydia.
- Marie, after learning of Hank dying, will be the one to ransack the White's house.
A+
