He did kill his boss/friend, so if anything Mike's hate towards Walt is so completely justified here, hell it's even justified that he called Walt out on his bullshit with his ego and pride, which tho cost him his life, in the end he proved to everyone ( us the viewers I mean ) that he was right
@@Dukesparrow1999 Mike has a giant ego as well. Do people forget Mike was all in killing Walt and Walt reacted to that in self defense? So there, Mike hates Walter because he defended himself while also defended and hide Jesse who was also going to be assassinated, by Mike.
I swear everyone just regurgitates the same old "Walt ego make him BAD!!". The way Mike's talking to Walt isn't how he'd dare speak to Gus, despite the fact Gus is known to employ children and dispose of them when it suits him. But Mike's fine with that.
Based off BCS Mike seems more tactically aware than Walt. While Walt has the intelligence and chemistry knowledge it’s very clear he doesn’t know how to deal with people. It’s why Gus folded him till Walt teamed up with Hector.

@@Dickiemiller179 totally, I think he knew he was making the wrong decision but couldn't walk away from that money for his daughter in law and granddaughter
Because Mike looked upon Jesse with almost fatherly affection. I honestly think Mike looked upon Jesse as extended family, and with the care he shows toward Jesse, not just in looking out for Jesse's safety, but also his interactions with Jesse, never resorting to degrading language even when he confronts Walt and Jesse on the drive back across the border seething with rage, Mike never verbally abused or berated Jesse, but expressed pity when he saw how Walt totally manipulated Jesse and how easily Jesse fell for it. Whereas with "Waulter," Mike couldn't hardly stand the sight of him, even the sound of Walt's voice seemed to step on Mike's last nerve. He saw Walt as selfish and manipulative scumbag who had no moral boundary he wouldn't cross if it meant accomplishing his goal.
The way the tables flipped so completely that way always felt at least somewhat forced. And it was. Walt and Jesse couldn't be allowed to cook for Gus in peace till the end of their days, so Jesse and Gus' dealers being at odds was the next thing to happen.
I like how Jesse didn't even know that magnetic fields will wipe out computer hard drives, he just was thinking it would _physically_ destroy the computer by slamming it into the wall or whatever.
And yet, admittedly, he gave a very good idea, because it helped destroy the data on the Gas laptop, even though in the next episode it turned out that they were encrypted, from which the viewers concluded that everything was done in vain.

@@MelchVagquest Fair enough, and yeah I agree, there is a very clear positive attitude towards Jesse, the inverse of what Mike feels towards Walter. Anyway all the best, friend.
Mike's reaction to Walt is how you generally respond when you can't stand somebody. And Mike had every right to hate Walt at that point. By Walt doing what he did, he put Mike's ass on the line and destroyed everything Mike had done to provide his family with something when he was gone. Mike did what he did for his family, he even admitted that to Saul in the desert in BCS, and that that's what gave him the strength to keep going despite their bleak circumstances - because it wasn't about him. Walt only acted like he did what he did for his family, and maybe in the beginning that's what it was about, but in the end it became all about him, as he later confessed to Skyler.
I love this scene. The laptop is encrypted, not even the maker of the labtop can get it, but it's a great insight. Someone can be the most bad ass or smartest guy in the criminal or corporate world, but when it comes to technology they're just old men.
@@julesmasseffectmusicmost likely they have SHA256 cracked already too but they don’t want you to know that and would only reserve it for the highest of foreign intelligence secrets
AES 256-bit, like Veracrypt, is essentially uncrackable. There are ways that you can get the password from the computer's RAM, but only if you actually have the drive mounted (i.e., only if you've already entered the password and didn't re-lock the drive). Otherwise, that data is unreachable, assuming Fring didn't have his passwords written down somewhere.@@julesmasseffectmusic
Wild to think he may not have even been cast had Bob Odenkirk not been scheduled on something else for those shooting days. Banks had been a day player for years, dropping in on shows for just one or two episodes and that’s fully how they intended to use him on BB until Banks killed it and the writers brought him back. Cut to BCS where he’s getting full episodes just to tell his backstory. It’s so awesome. What I adore is how much the show and the character mean to Jonathan, seeing him choke up in interviews. It reminds me of John Spencer playing Leo McGarry on The West Wing. They both had worked consistently their entire careers but weren’t well known until their late age when they landed what would be their most meaningful, most successful, and most fulfilling role.
@@twisted_nether373 that is being an absolute ignorant on theoretical chemistry. When it came to practical knowledge, he proved to be way above average carpenter, lab assistant-chemist and criminal. Sadly for him, he was also too emotional for the gamd

The crazy thing is while they argue they are literally developing the plan by combining their fields of expertise MIke explaining the traps Walter brainstorming ideas and then Jesse with a little spark every once and awhile if they could have just worked together they would have made a great team, I feel like its true of most of the characters in the show, I feel likes its true of most of the characters in real life.
If Gus was such a criminal mastermind as they are making him and his organization out to be, he 100% would have encrypted their drive data. Edit: Which I later find out is exactly what he did lol
the idea that back in the early 2000s a laptop could have an HDD large enough to store hundreds of hours of video(from different locations, mind you) in good enough quality to recognize faces is pretty out there. keep in mind HD wasnt even a thing back then. you'd think they'd think out a key plot device for an entire episode a little bit better

Rewatching this soooo many times never gets old and we also know that Jon Banks was having the absolute time of his life as Mike. He said he legit became Mike. He is a beautiful man and sobbed when talking about how much it meant to him. ❤️
I like how this isn't even the last time Jesse comes up with a good plan. I think Mike has the experience and the know-how. Walter's got the knowledge and technical expertise to pull off any plan. But Jesse is the ideas guy. He's the most creative, and his intuition is very solid. He came up with the battery to charge the van, the magnet to defeat an evidence lockup, and how to rob a train of its freight without them even knowing it. He even suggested Walt could create a robot, an idea that would evenutally come to be when Walter creates a Machinegun Turret. Jesse is definitely a genius who doesn't apply himself often, but when he does, he's something uniquely intelligent.
In S05E02, Hank reveals that the laptop in the evidence room was encrypted (something which Mike really should've known or guessed, imo). So there was no point in destroying it, it couldn't incriminate anyone anyway. The whole operation, which Walt was so proud of, was pointless. Not only that, but in the process of destroying the laptop the picture frame was broken, revealing bank account details written on the underside which were a huge step forward in Hank's investigation. Walt is oblivious to all of this, and seems to think himself invincible. He's got a whole lot of pride. It can't be long before the fall.
Computer login and hard drive encryption can be broken plus this was high profile enough of a case that they would devote the resources to brute force the access.
Funny knowing that this whole situation didn’t matter, and that in solving this imaginary problem, they gave the police access to evidence they wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Pure irony
@@barbosaluiz encrypted doesn't mean it couldn't be decrypted,, considering gus was dead I don't see a reason why they wouldn't be able to find someone who could crack it, its not as if they don't have the tools not to be able to do it
I'm surprised they never toyed with the idea of an EMB (Electromagnetic Bomb). Walt seems smart enough that he would be able to make one, or at least find someone with the engineering skills to craft one. Granted I'm not sure it would destroy the hard drive, but it would definitely damage it.
With Walter's luck, the EMB would go off, and incapacitate Every electronic device, including his own vehicle, so he'd have to escape on foot while being chased by the police firing at him. Cue Benny Hill music.
Mike and Walt constantly countering each others ideas and Jesse being the middleman thinking about something they never would explains why they made such a great team and pulled off two impossible heists in their short time as a group.
If Walt, Jesse and Mike just sat tight and did nothing, all three of them would have gotten away with it all. The laptop heist (which was pointless BTW since the hard drive was encrypted and therefore useless to the police) accidentally revealed the hidden bank account info on the back of Gus' desktop framed photo, which led the police to all of Fring's employees including Mike. Losing their money from Gus not only forced Mike to start working with Walt and Jesse again, but also ended up driving a wedge between all of them when Walt decides killing the guys was better than paying them off. The laptop heist feels like just a silly and light action piece to start the season, but it actually puts every single event of season 5 in motion.
@@portalmanHUNsorry did you even watch the show?? The next episode, Hank talks to his boss and says directly that the laptop was encrypted and they weren't going to get data off it anyway.
@@nirjhar4803until that point the police had no idea who was or wasn't on Gus' payroll. As far as they knew, everything with Gus was purely associated with the cartel. They had no clue about his connection to Madrigal, any of the stuff with Peter Schuler, Lydia, Mike, etc. They might have looked into it, since Pollos is associated with Madrigal, but they had no leads. The picture frame being broke open lead the DEA to find the offshore accounts which told them exactly who was being paid by Gus, which brought everything crashing down. I don't think they would have gotten it otherwise.
@@aboxofbeans I'm confused, wouldn't they dismantle the photoframe when reviewing the evidence??? I understand that Walt's actions directly put Madrigal under the DEA's crosshairs, but I personally don't see why they would've never found the acc numbers at all.
I remember watching this during its first airing and I kid you not I was thinking a huge magnet 🧲 could destroy a hard drive. Being in IT for a gazillion years we know magnets corrupt data on a hard drives magnetic platters. I felt as smart as pink man when he gave his solution to the team. Like what element is conductive … wireeee…
I really liked this scene but thought it was really weird how it was essentially used again a few episodes later in the dead freight episode. It’s essentially the same thing, Walt and Mike arguing about the conflict, in the same room, with Jesse coming up with the solution out of nowhere. But regardless, someone as careful as Gus most definitely had his laptop encrypted anyway.
As a massive comicbook nerd i would have expecited a blown up police station, someone on the inside to destory it.or someone to roll bait while another snuck in..nvr did i think a massive magnet...this is why this series is great out of the box thinking, the acting it was....perfect..was one of the last few series i watch fully on tv each week
Mike really is a great character. He’s a stand up guy inside and speaks with certainty, so when him and Walt go head to head it’s always great lines back and forth lol
Pretty crazy how Walter got to work with a genius like Jessie he discovered wire as an element and was able to destroy evidence in a police station was part of the “ biggest” train robbery ever
Walt's "OH SHIT" moment at the end of this clip is hilarious, you can see his head movement go "wtf was that" at the hand gesture he made, then camera turns and you see his brain make that connection

At this point it definitely would’ve been a question of “will I be able to get away with this?” rather than “is it wrong to bomb a police station?”

Walt having mindset of using harmless device to set up a fucking bomb outside police station in just two second is lunatic 😂
This is the moment laptop became labtop
Truly an eloquent explanation by Jesse. Magnificent.
not a single hair in this video
The cops till this day are still looking for Detective Dave Clark
It was for a short time, but these three together was my favorite parts of breaking bad
What's a labtop
The top of a lab. 👌
It's the laptop that has all the lab evidence "labtop"
You know how they say its been a pleasure?...It hasn't
3:51 That should be the secret handshake between Breaking Bad fans
I always found it so awesome how Mike and Walt are just hanging out at Jesse's house, plotting and scheming. 😎
Jesses the only one who doesn’t have to worry about family making an uninvited visit.
3:30 the guy who invented MRI
The hatred Mike had towards Walt at this point was so evident. Great acting.
3:57 and there it is . A hint enough for walt
Great writing, for a show with amazing scenes. This dialog only scene is beautiful to watch.
Mike and Walt constantly countering each others ideas and Jesse being the middleman thinking about something they never would explains why they made such a great team and pulled off two impossible heists in their short time as a group.
If Walt, Jesse and Mike just sat tight and did nothing, all three of them would have gotten away with it all.
The laptop heist (which was pointless BTW since the hard drive was encrypted and therefore useless to the police) accidentally revealed the hidden bank account info on the back of Gus' desktop framed photo, which led the police to all of Fring's employees including Mike. Losing their money from Gus not only forced Mike to start working with Walt and Jesse again, but also ended up driving a wedge between all of them when Walt decides killing the guys was better than paying them off.
The laptop heist feels like just a silly and light action piece to start the season, but it actually puts every single event of season 5 in motion.
You think the cops can't access encrypted data? Get real.
Also kind of naive that you're assuming that the cops wouldnt find the offshore account info sooner or later...
@@portalmanHUNsorry did you even watch the show?? The next episode, Hank talks to his boss and says directly that the laptop was encrypted and they weren't going to get data off it anyway.
@@nirjhar4803until that point the police had no idea who was or wasn't on Gus' payroll. As far as they knew, everything with Gus was purely associated with the cartel. They had no clue about his connection to Madrigal, any of the stuff with Peter Schuler, Lydia, Mike, etc. They might have looked into it, since Pollos is associated with Madrigal, but they had no leads. The picture frame being broke open lead the DEA to find the offshore accounts which told them exactly who was being paid by Gus, which brought everything crashing down. I don't think they would have gotten it otherwise.
@@aboxofbeans I'm confused, wouldn't they dismantle the photoframe when reviewing the evidence???
I understand that Walt's actions directly put Madrigal under the DEA's crosshairs, but I personally don't see why they would've never found the acc numbers at all.
Mike was the kind of person Walt always thought he was.
Had they called Saul immediately, this shit would have been solved in 30 minutes without all the hassle 😂
walt ironically taught jesse better than he thought
This is the moment the laptop became “Labtop”
"Lunatics like YOU" 🤣🤣
I know, god! One of my favorite moments from the entire series! I laughed my ass off the first time I saw this lol
You should see the next part, where Walt & Jessie roll up a wad of refrigerator magnets & use it to delete the laptop!
God damnit i might have to rewatch this for a 6th time.
nobodys talking about at 1:30 how mike mocks walts eyebrow raise it was funny as hell
Everyone is talking about labtop, but to me, the delivery of "a divice" makes me laugh.
love the Dave Clark 5 reference; before my time too but they were my dad’s favorite band so i heard them a lot when i was young 👍🏼
What really tickles my gut is how i was saying magnet even before Jesse did.
2:16 is my imaginary good friend trying to talk some sense into some girl.
I could listen to these three characters from Breaking Bad talk to each other all day.
I love how we get the origins of Dave Clark (like the Dave Clark Five) in Better Call Saul.
I remember watching this during its first airing and I kid you not I was thinking a huge magnet 🧲 could destroy a hard drive. Being in IT for a gazillion years we know magnets corrupt data on a hard drives magnetic platters. I felt as smart as pink man when he gave his solution to the team. Like what element is conductive … wireeee…
SuperLABtop
“Ya know how they say it’s been a pleasure? It hasn’t”
The perfect goodbye for Mike
I really liked this scene but thought it was really weird how it was essentially used again a few episodes later in the dead freight episode. It’s essentially the same thing, Walt and Mike arguing about the conflict, in the same room, with Jesse coming up with the solution out of nowhere. But regardless, someone as careful as Gus most definitely had his laptop encrypted anyway.
Bro you could put laugh tracks on a lot of parts in this scene, and it would be amazing 😂
As a massive comicbook nerd i would have expecited a blown up police station, someone on the inside to destory it.or someone to roll bait while another snuck in..nvr did i think a massive magnet...this is why this series is great out of the box thinking, the acting it was....perfect..was one of the last few series i watch fully on tv each week
I like that small detail when Mike grunts when he’s picking up his jacket if you knew what happened to his shoulder in better call Saul
Why do they break the whole phone every single time? Just break the sim card??
Mike really is a great character. He’s a stand up guy inside and speaks with certainty, so when him and Walt go head to head it’s always great lines back and forth lol
I like how incredibly polite Mike is with the cop on the phone
This is truly the moment where Jesse became magnetberg
Pretty crazy how Walter got to work with a genius like Jessie he discovered wire as an element and was able to destroy evidence in a police station was part of the “ biggest” train robbery ever
I thought I was the only man in the world who spelled laptop labtop....hello my poor spelling brother.
"Lap" is your 'Thigh' legs area when you're sitting
Calling from a burner phone and dumping it, but the cell provider still has the data indicating from which location the call came from.
Walt's "OH SHIT" moment at the end of this clip is hilarious, you can see his head movement go "wtf was that" at the hand gesture he made, then camera turns and you see his brain make that connection
Breaking bad
This is the moment when the laptop became labtop
WTF is a labtop?
A portmanteau
Laptop with Lab Evidence = Labtop.
Laptop that surveillances a meth lab
LOVE this scene
wow I totally forgot that was Jessie's idea. God I love this show.
Jesse goes from being the stupid one in the begining of the show to actually coming up with some solid ideas
"Labtop" is a situation when your holding a laptop on the spine of a labrador, using the dog as a coffee table
2:00 I love this description from Mike. The mental image of Bryan Cranston in a black leotard running along rooftops like a cat burglar is hilarious
