Breaking Bad | Mike Saves Walter From The Cousins (Bryan Cranston, Jonathan Banks)

[@jackstone9569]

[@wabc2336]

@@opppopp2322 Lmao, Gus fucked it up by trying to kill Walter for saving Jesse's life. As Walter said after he saved Jesse, Gus could either put all this behind them and let Jesse go, or he would have to go against Walter. All that Jesse did in the first place was to kill two people who murdered a child, and we don't know if Gus ordered that or not, but if he did, he is evil, and if he didn't, his only problem with Jesse is that Jesse did something that Gus would do anyway. In conclusion, Gus's arrogance and need for control made him intent on killing Walter and Jesse for no good reason. (Yes, he was going to kill Jesse too, he was just careful to separate them so that neither would have any defense.) Gus caused his own downfall and the destruction of the lab. People like you who ride Gus and Mike will always cope over how Walter killed some criminals to save his own operation, as if Gus and Mike never did anything worse. Plus, the lab was exposed by Hank, not Walter.

Mike was surprised by Walter's actions not because he didn't understand Walter, but because Walt was just unpredictable and would do stupid sht like trying to get Mike to give him the names of Gus' people that were in prison even though he could just get them from Lydia.

He NEVER thought Walter would do the things he did. You don't stick around a ticking time bomb. He must have thought he could defuse Walter, but he should have known that was impossible. My opinion remains: he never really understood Walter.

[@wayothefro3249]

@@repatch43 You’re misunderstanding why Mike kept around Walter as Mike didn’t stick around Walter out of choice, he did it out of necessity. Mike was forced to be around Walt once Gus brought Walt into their operation and only reason he didn’t eliminate Walt was because they needed him alive to keep Jesse happy. Then in season five, he stays around Walt because he needed Walt to help cover his tracks from Gus’s operation by destroying the evidence laptop, and then he needed Walt so he could make money that could be used to pay off Gus’ men that were in prison. If Mike didn’t work with Walt, then he would’ve had bigger problems from the DEA to worry about. However, once Mike is compromised and can no longer continue the operation, he pretty much immediately goes to sever ties with Walter because he no longer needs to work with him and wishes to avoid him.

Everything about Walt’s emotional and short term, hence why he went from cofounder of a tech company which would’ve made him a billionaire to working at a car wash. Mike did make the mistake of losing his cool during an argument with Walt and blaming him for single handedly destroying Gus’ empire, an accusation which is too much for Walt’s ego to take. Walt then immediately murders Mike. Walt didn’t kill Mike because it was strategic, he killed him because Mike hurt his feelings. Breaking Bad’s largely a story about a man of immense potential sabotaging his own life with one irrational choice after the next.

I remember when my wife watched this scene for the first time. She was panicking so hard and kept screaming at the TV telling Walt to get out of there. Lmfao.

[@jackhartford521]

As soon as the cousins open the door, and you see them standing there with the ax, I got some “The Shining” vibes. At the same time they resemble the two girls in dresses with the color of their outfits, while holding the ax that Jack used in the movie, while also being bald like the black man who had the shining as well. Random as all get out lol.

How cant Walter pick up a slight different scent of smells in his own room? Sometimes when i enter my room i can already tell who went inside my room by noticing the scents.

Am I the only one who thinks there’s a bit of symbolism at the end with the eyeball? Sure, he realized it was odd that is was laying like that when he knows he didn’t leave it like that, but just the fact that the eyeball was looking in his direction. Almost like it’s saying something along the lines that, no matter where he is or what he’s doing, he’s being watched. And it’s true.

[@Bushcatbandit2950]

Or maybe to remind him of his guilt? That eyeball wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for him (Jane)

[@Bushcatbandit2950]

Or at least his actions

[@Ryan88881]

Well yes.. The whole point of the eye was symbolism. But it represents the guilt of Jane and her dad crashing the planes so it's as if 'they' or karma or both are "watching" him.

[@biggsleezy]

Cue the Rockwell song- Somebody's watching me

I think Walt noticed the eye moved because just like he was bothered by band aid in the pool and the fly contaminate because he's very meticulous.

Always felt the skylars concern valid. Imagine the cousins arrived when Walter’s family was there. Twins are Mindless killers. I don’t think they would mind killing a pregnant lady and his kid. Walter unintentionally put himself as well as his family in danger since the beginning of the show.

Walt had to go through the crawl space…twins just opened the door 😂

[@jkorshak]

The door was locked when Walt arrived. The video literally shows Walt coming out of the front door to get his bags before the Cousins arrive. Presumably, Walt did not lock the door after he retrieved his bags.

[@MyNameIsKayser]

It seems such a unincredible detail, but i love how Walter sings the song he hears at the beginning of the episode while in the shower. They could've just put it in there as a neat little song, that also titles the episode in spanish, but the fact that they wrote Walter sing it in there is pretty neat.

[@chillinoutmaxin4630]

3:16 I love the shot of Victor walking up to Gus as he's holding the blueprints or whatever they are, making him look very in charge, calm, and powerful whilst surrounded by the chaos of the laundry. I know Victor gets a lot of hate as a character too (and the actor is not to blame as he was just working with the script and direction he was given), but I think this is one of his better scenes as he perfectly portrays the concerned henchman informing his boss of something important, awaiting an answer, and glancing back at the laundry worker he just walked past in the previous shot (while also concealing the cellphone) to make sure they're not being overheard. Bravo, Vic!

I've always wondered; Was the axe supposed to be that blunt as to make it more painful for who it was used on? Or was that an oversight in production?

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I think so. Remember when a twin was going to kill Hank with a gun? He says, "No, too easy." That axe is meant to inflict maximum suffering. A dull axe is more painful.

[@mosin54r2]

What would the twins do if Walt came out right after they both acknowledged the “pollos” text from Gus lol. Would they kill him or just walk out??

[@cullenatwood5149]

What if the twins killed Walt then went to POLLOS. The message wasn’t specific so they could have been like ok lets kill him quick and then see what they want at pollos

[@cakerbaby69]

I’ve always thought that too

[@nahor88]

I think the highly coincidental timing of the message was enough to cue them that they shouldn't be doing it.

[@jkorshak]

The twins understood Fring had more "pull" with the cartel than they did - essentially an indirect "superior." They recognized that for Fring to contact them out of the blue meant to drop what they were doing and respond, unless what they were doing came down from Don Eladio or one of his lieutenants like Bolsa.
