Season Three - Episode Seven: "One Minute"
Episode Description:
Hank's increasing volatility forces a confrontation with Jesse and trouble at work. Skyler pressures Walt to make a deal. Gus' actions have severe consequences.
Episode Overview:
Though Jesse feels like he’s dodged a bullet now that the RV has been destroyed, his relief is short-lived when an angry Hank shows up at his house looking for satisfaction. After a torrential fit of rage leaves Jesse bloodied and beaten, the problems his violent outburst cause at work force Hank to seek a lawyer’s advice. At the hospital where Jesse is being treated, Saul tells him that the assault is tantamount to a get-out-of-jail-free card. However, when Walt comes to apologize for how things turned out, Jesse makes it abundantly clear that he is going to make Hank and his family pay dearly. And though both Saul and Walt advise proceeding with caution, Jesse reaffirms his plan to get back into the business and threatens to turn Walt in if anything bad should happen.
As both the Albuquerque Police and the DEA investigate the attack, Hank is pressed about what happened. Though Marie wants him to claim self-defense, Hank chooses to accept his fate and admits that the attack was unprovoked. After fending off Skyler’s questions about whether Jesse’s crimes can be traced back to him, Walt looks to protect himself by asking Jesse to be his partner again. But because he will have to first do something about his new assistant, Gale, Walt begins laying the groundwork for firing him. Meanwhile, the cartel hit men meet with an arms dealer to prepare for a chance to take down the DEA agent who was responsible for their cousin Tuco’s death - Hank Schrader.
After falsely accusing Gale of making a mistake in the lab, Walt tells Gus that he wants to fire him and hire Jesse instead. Though Gus agrees, when Walt arrives at the hospital to float the idea, Jesse is dead set against it, even after being offered $1.5 million. Yet, after an angry tirade sends Walt fleeing, Jesse has second thoughts and calls him to accept. Finally, after losing his badge and gun as a result of his statement admitting responsibility for the assault, Hank learns Jesse has decided not to press charges after all. Relieved, and even pondering a possible return to duty, Hank suddenly comes under attack in a mall parking lot by the Cousins. Yet despite being at a disadvantage, Hank survives multiple gunshot wounds and fights back, killing one of his attackers and leaving the other gravely wounded.

Because she acted as though I was giving her silent treatment for one misdeed or misunderstanding. She couldn't seem to get it that it was her entire being I was rejecting.

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

Yeah. We both have similar experiences. I had one big argument with my mother once, and I revealed everything I ever felt through sheer rage. I had had enough of her games and her dirty tactics of using my anger to condone her actions that I went on bringing about the truth.

Kitty Kat When was this? Did you ask for the money, or was it a game to make you talk to your mother? I get that talking to her is important. My mom also thought that going to those social groups that I liked going to would help rid of my anger, an assumption that came out of nowhere. It was just ridiculous that she had that idea, because anger is not simply something that is easily cured by positive energy. I even threw out the truth that she never helped make anyone feel better. I don’t feel bad about that day, and I never will. Anger like all the emotions is like water, finding its way around.

Let's be brutally honest here; it's purely just the actors chemistry is what makes the relationship have a touch of wholesomeness when it has no right to.

Aaron Paul was unknown before this, but man, does he ever hold his own in a brilliant cast.

[@oloxhossono1956]

this scene is arguably better acting than “I am the danger”. jesse’s character is incredible

[@Vladthevulture]

Honestly maybe I’m wrong, but I think Aaron’s use of emotion is almost comparable to a level of James gandolfini. All the way down to his breathing pattern thin this scene is just raw anger and sadness. Incredible performance throughout the scene

[@isaacthegoat1432]

Jesse is most tragic person in whole breaking bad series. Jesse lost literally everything and suffer the most. He is the true hero of the whole BB franchise

[@MEPSIPAX826]

It was at this point, everyone cried for Jesse and he became everyone’s favorite character.

[@imaginationgirl21]

I read somewhere that Aaron never actually went to acting school, he's just a born natural.

[@SergeantExtreme]

That would be correct. In fact, Jesse was supposed to be killed off in Season 1 due to the fact that he was just supposed an expendable side character. However, when they saw just how talented of an actor he was, they changed the script so that he lived on throughout the rest of the show.

[@coals6262]

I mean you don’t have to go to acting school to be a good actor. Some people just fit the roles perfectly with their mannerisms and personality as well as the mindset of pretending you are actually that character and if you already fit the idea for it if you can sell it easier

[@Rockineagle84]

@@SergeantExtreme Which I've never understood. If the entire premise of the show is that Walt and Jesse cook together, why would they kill off Jesse so early? Just makes you wonder what the original script was...

@@Rockineagle84 The entire premise of the show was NOT that Walt and Jesse cook together. The entire premise of the show was turning a lovable, ordinary family man into a hated, horrible villain.

Man idk what these guys were on during the filmings of this episode but the acting was insane, especially from Aaron Paul (Jesse) and Dean Norris (Hank) I really felt sorry for both the characters, the way they speak with such emotion.

[@magic_magic1]

Walt’s manipulation is so scary. He says nothing until Jesse reveals the one thing Walt has that could win his loyalty back, validation from Walt.

[@kmishra514]

Jesse refuses, Hank is fired. And everyone is happy.

Y'know, in retrospect, if Walt had just given Jesse $1.5 million to not press charges against Hank, and just kept working with Gale, literally everything would have gone better.

And all it took was one affirming comment from Walt after Jesse going on and on about how Walt has supposedly ruined his life, to put Jesse back in Walt's corner. That's how desperate Jesse is for validation and even love. And Walt knows it..

[@Swagaito_Gai]

I think a lot of people may have misinterpreted this scene and the decisions Walt made surrounding it. Most people see Walt insisting he work with Jesse as Walt destroying his business relationship with Gus for no other reason than his desire to keep Jesse around in order to continue manipulating him. But this is actually Walt doing his best to save both Jesse and Hank. Jesse was absolutely set on ruining Hank's life for beating him up. And he was set on continuing to cook alone. He said he knew he'd get caught eventually, and when that happened he'd give the police Heisenberg's identity as a get out of jail free card. If Jesse were to continue on that path, it'd be out of Walt's hands. Hank would suffer some sort of great misfortune, and Gus would have put a hit on Jesse for being a liability. So Walt had to convince Jesse to continue working with him. There was no other option besides going to the police, which let's be honest would not end well for anyone involved.

[@Fujikorific]

I think it's a lot of things. It's in the best interests of everyone that he bring Jesse back into the fold, but he also genuinely misses him and even feels some guilt and responsibility for how much Jesse is hurting (physically and emotionally.) I don't think Walt consciously thinks about the fact that he manipulates Jesse, either-it's a necessary evil in his mind because Jesse will "get into trouble" if he doesn't steer the ship (that's how he justifies it to himself, anyway.)

[@SamuraiVertHD]

[@ethoslost2887]

Well let’s see. First scene Jesse is in, what’s he doing? Running from the DEA. Krazy 8 was a snitch, Jesse didn’t know, and Krazy 8 intended to blame him to his cousin. No idea how that would have worked out. Let’s move on, he met Jane because the lab in his basement got him kicked out. She was in some kind of rehab program. What did Jesse do? Enabled her drug use, we can guess about that outcome all day. What does Jesse do when he’s told he’s out in season 3? He keeps cooking meth even though he had 400k to start fresh give Saul 80k to launder it and get a real job or pay for college and living expenses if he didn’t want to accrue interest and just have some simple ticket booth job like Mike used to have with his laundered 320k in the bank. Then what happens? He gets the RV caught on camera trading meth for cigarettes, boy were reaching genius levels now. What does he do after that? He threatens to snitch on the guy he stole the meth formula from forcing the guy to basically HAVE to baby monitor him. What’s Jesse’s next master plan? Oh that’s right he attacks two gang bangers right after he was told not to. But suuuuuuure poor poor Jesse. I can tell you’re just a professional victim. Funny how I’d have made my 400k an been happy some one even let me in on 400k at 23 years old. But what ever dopey. That’s more than some people make in over 10 years. But I can’t expect a professional victim to comprehend because Walter insulted Jesse’s illegal meth boo hoo hoo waaaaaaah waaaaaah me big baby me go get the RV caught now like a baby, then blame everyone else like a baby.

ash ash it’s implied that he is. Walt had stage four lung cancer, was off chemo, was shot near his right lung, and was bleeding out. There is no way he could survive that and Vince Gilligan is too smart to please the fans and bring Walt back. El Camino is about Jesse Pinkman after Breaking Bad (Walt’s Story). He’s not alive. He’s dead. A part of me wants to tell you to get over it but it took me a while to. But seriously learn how to interpret scenes.
