Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

Ironically, his brother-in-law Hank being a DEA Agent helped him to go on undetected far longer. Any other DEA Agent without any personal or familial connections to Walter would've caught on much quicker when the equipment went missing.

Hanks obsession with Heisenberg was his subconscious knowing it was Walt and Hank wanting to disprove it

[@PikaWarrior1222]

i really like this theory

[@KenMabie]

cognitive dissonance is the psychological term for what Hank was doing

[@Red-mg4ro]

The teacher angle of "these notes give off the typical just copying vibe" was an acceptably subtle if still unnecessary stroking of his own ego. But flat out saying "maybe this genius chef isn't caught" was an admission.

[@rorylynch7775]

"WW" "Hank, I think Wil Wheaton is Heisenberg"

[@kingbeauregard]

Walt really was acting sus a lot. Like in that moment, Walt could have deflected it much better by jumping in and saying, "heh, as an expert on WW's, let me think ...". Or that duffel bag full of money, Walt could have said "chemistry notebooks". I grant you, I'm not "in the moment" so it's easier for me to be calm, but then again Walt is supposed to be the genius manipulator. Of course, some of it might be that he feels more powerful when he's toying with Hank.

[@noesunyoutuber7680]

​@@kingbeauregard I think the duffel bag bit was actually fine. It's a weirdly specific thing to say, but it's so unbelievable that the truth easily passes itself off as a joke, which Hank bought.

[@paris-1911]

@@kingbeauregard can’t forget that Hank’s totally lowered his guard for a lot of Walt’s slips on account of the guy being his brother - so, Walt definitely has more wiggle room to be all “hahah, you got me” when he knows his brother’s gonna basically laugh it off with him.

[@kingbeauregard]

@@paris-1911 Sure, but Hank never really notices how weird Walt is acting. It's not even like Hank is in denial, which would be an interesting way to go with it, like if Hank really needed to believe there is an honest man in this world and that man was Walt.

[@paris-1911]

@@kingbeauregard Basically what I mean - the first part, not the denial theory. Hank loves his family and he lets his familial relationship with Walt completely blindside him in the end. It makes his expressions of genuine rage toward Walt in the end all the more impactful, the amount of _hell_ Hank went through either directly or indirectly because of Walt is maddening. At least he got to cuff him.

He screwed himself when he didn’t let Gale take the fall.

[@Wing4455]

[@educatedfool5121]

His ego was ultimately his undoing. Man could have walked away with enough money to support his family multiple times, without anyone finding out. And he couldn't do so, because his ego wouldn't let him.

[@paris-1911]

@@Wing4455 Can’t say for sure, if we’re assuming this is a slightly more cautious Walter who doesn’t yap to Hank at that dinner conversation, then maybe he also realizes to put the book away. Or, yknow, check it for a note. Who knows, but Walter was a _dumbass_ for opening his mouth about Gale.

Walter White was too unassuming for it to be obvious to Hank. In fact, it was brilliant of him to figure it all out in the first place.

[@Rickon2506]

Walt was seen by many as a genius underachiever loser. Biggest reason why it took Hank far too long to find out about the whole thing and it was by accident too. Otherwise he would’ve been successful pulling the whole thing off.

[@user-mf5by6bu7f]

Plot armor. The real Walter White was found out about the same time. If not a little longer. look him up there’s a vice documentary. he was not a high school chemistry teacher. He was just a really good cook, but he did use the Heisenberg system where he didn’t know any of the foot soldiers and street dealers. He only knew one distribution guy.

To the closest call is when Hank picks up the heavy gymbag and asks Walt what's in it to which Walt replies, half a million dollars. Hank only should have opened the bag and find out that Walt told the truth at that point.

[@JR-hr8pk]

They came up over the Mountains, near present day Salt Lake, and saw land stretching to the Horizon. More land than they had just crossed, an Ocean of Land, and it crushed them entirely. When Hank gets shot and Walter falls down at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2525">42:05</a>, that is what being crushed, entirely, looks like.

"There's more than one type of prison" In the context it was used, I always wondered what Walt was personally referring to...

[@agreb25]

I always assumed he meant his life, at least up to the point of becoming Heisenberg, in the sense that it felt like a "prison" since he was trapped in this meek, underachieving lifestyle. Especially compared to his peers who were very wealthy and in high status jobs/professions, meanwhile he's a high school teacher who has to pick up shifts at a car wash just to get by. Becoming Heisenberg gave him a level of power and wealth he had never previously experienced.
