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.
100% in better call saul there is a good example on how quickly the police become suspicious when speaking with Pryce when the baseball cards go missing. Any other official would of suspected Walt and asked for who was last person to access equipment
Nah, they would have suspected a theft from school, not the timid chemistry teacher. He doesn’t fit the profile. Teachers are well respected and would be the last to be suspected.
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.
@@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.
There's no way Hank couldn't have not been familiar with a bag full of stacks of money. He's probably hauled bags of cash like that away on busts plenty of times. Make it make sense.
@@OmegaMouse Its not just that he can't stand Gale getting credit for his work. Hank also says that "how many actually geniuses are there?" and then says Gale could've done great things if he had led his life differently. This not only reminds Walt of his own wasted potential, but that even his own family don't know his potential. Hank is talking about Gale as this 1 in a million man but doesn't see Walt the same way.
It’s the Clark Kent problem. Your friend looks like Superman you don’t think he’s Superman you just think he looks like him. I mean what are the odds this chemistry teacher is a drug lord?
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
@@ninjaguyYT Right. Otherwise they would have to have scrambled for a piece of cardboard and made assigned that said, That concludes Breaking Bad Thanks for watching

That was the entire point behind the series! How a man becomes egocentric and arrogant and believes he’s untouchable after so many close calls or over confidence.

@@garethtaylor1470 the reason he connects it to Gale is because Gale actually wrote in the book and gave it to Walt. He wrote,” to my OTHER WW…” which Hank was then able to connect that to the original notepad and all the pieces started to fall together in Hank’s mind

Así es, eso hace que esta serie sea maravillosa. Una frase que encaja con Walt. No era pionero en lo que Mike y Saul llamaban "el juego". Pero tenía versatilidad, la cual constituye una parte de la inteligencia. Eso y la suerte que tenía le permitió durar lo que duró.
She was super cringe a dozen times. Like when she sang happy birthday to her Sancho. She would be better doing Broadway. Hanks wife did great though. I thought she really meshed well with Hank and they had good chemistry. I also hate the name Skylar and it didn't fit with the show IMHO. I liked looking at Jane. She is hot ah.
This many years later I still don't understand how Hank did not see them run away when he killed Tuco. I mean hell, they couldn't have been more that 50 yards from Hank
I feel like that part is forgivable because Hank just killed a dude so he was more focused on looking at the dude he killed, and he's also possibly in shock because of how he was shot at
Many reasons. He was unassuming so he was underestimated. He was smart. He backed himself into corners so he was desperate and men will do anything out of desperation. He was motivated by family. He was motivated by the fact he was dying and he wanted to be remembered in a certain way. I could go on and on, but mostly because he was smarter than almost everyone around him. Andddd a lot of dumb luck
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.
Lo que yo creo es que simplemente se lo tomó a broma y no lo abrió por educación. Es decir, si tu cuñado te llama para ayudarle a empacar sus cosas, no vas a abrir y rebuscar en ellas, no? Sería muy grosero. Sumando lo gracioso que era Hank y la visión inocente e ingenua que tenía sobre Walt, por esa simple razón se rió y no le dió importancia.
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.
Walt was successful pulling the whole thing off. Hank still wasn't able to bust him and had no real proof. Even when Jesse snitched that wasn't enough to really pin him. Hank did many things outside the law to handcuff Walt but meeting up in the desert is not a valid reason to get him.
i've never seen a tv show/universe with such a dedicated/consistietly-inventive youtube channel. ( _maybe_ the office) this video is basically a 50min compilation of a tv show lamp-shading, _after the shows already over_ ps; a comp of every shot/angle that a character can be seen in a reflection; would be doooope. a comp of mike mackerel-staring mf's down, too. and one of all of walters freakout, "JESSE!! JESSEEE!!!! JESSEEEEEEEEE!!!!" moments.
Im not sure if this is intentional, but at 5:24 when hank says “I know they’re your students but do not underestimate them” I cant help but think that has a double meaning for Jesse
He went undetected so long because everyone underestimated him. He was a dorky chemistry teacher who had cancer. You can actually tell that Hank did suspect walt a couple of times but he ended up dismissing all his concerns because he never imagined walt wasn't just some loser. It isn't until Gus gets identified and his old boss resigns and says "he was living a completely different life right under my nose, and I never saw it" that we see the gears turn in hanks head. And the notebook confirms his suspicions.
I always wondered why they never talked to the first responders to the fire. I'm sure one of them would have seen a middle aged guy in his underwear on the side of the road.
The perfect criminal, straight as an arrow, no priors, no connections, has his teaching job as the perfect Alibi. If he'd done his job and known his place, he would be fine right now
@@TheNinthGeneration1 People seem to forget this. They just throw around the word "ego" and act like that's Walt's motivation for everything. Walt, sharp as anyone, knew that Gus was planning on getting rid of him.
@@Anthony_Giorgio_Guitarthat explains that sure, but dinner was the biggest example of his ego. He could have let hank believe he was right about gale, hid the book and moved on. But instead of tested him and said “are you sure?”
"you got me" at 25:00 is a scene i am always paranoid about. You can't tell me that in that moment, Hank didn't know. Now, there isn't much cause to believe Hank knew, but he would have certainly had suspicions from the moment he investigated the missing lab equipment. His immediate aggressive pursuit of Walt when he "finds out" seems to discredit this thought, but I just can't help seeing Hank's arc as one of cognitive dissonance. Yes, he is TRAINED to look at exactly all of the pieces of evidence that Walter lets slip. We have to wonder how he didn't know, because the fact of the matter is he HAD to. He knew and repressed, he wanted to believe that Walter would be scared off or, at the very least, incapable of participating in the worst implications of his career. I know Hank would work to forgive Walter if Walter had been a benign presence in the scene, producing only as a captive of some larger kingpin. I can't see Hank missing the mountain of evidence implicating Walter. I CAN see him underestimating Walter's guilt and trying to subtly warn him away from the scene while pursuing who he thinks are the real malevolent actors, or perhaps viewing him as a victim of ambition, underestimating and becoming trapped by the danger of the work he stumbles into trying to make money. As it stands, Walter destroyed everything Hank had, to the point of threatening his wife. He suspects, and he represses, and his repression represses to the point that he can't remember he knows until he is violently reminded of his well founded suspicions in the post-script of a series of profound traumas which are the consequence of Walter's actions exclusively.
@@sebsmith5100 I know many people that watch YT videos at higher playback speeds like 1.5x. They can still understand everything going on (especially if its just clips they've already seen) and get through an hour video in about 40 minutes.
I really appreciate that Skylar can vividly be seen understanding Walt is saying to much about Gale. Skylar knows he should let Hank be on that thought train…. But Walter is Walter. Ego Unmatched 28:58
On my last rewatch of the series, my Bluetooth speaker that I forgot to turn off earlier made its little battery dying sound at the exact moment Hank got shot, now I laugh every time I see it 😢😂
It’s not just the credit, it’s the fact that Hank said he could’ve used his intellect to “help society” but the sad truth is Walter was screwed over from achieving mainstream success (by normie standards)
I didn't realise at that time, that hanks sense fashion has come back today, cuban collared oversized shirts, baggy pants... Wow what a cool dude he is
I remember watching this show 3 years ago and omg it's the best show ever, and if you watch better call Saul you do your self a favour because this is top cinema. Bcs makes you appreciate even more breaking Bad. I have to say that the Skylar haters have to admit that she is a crazy good actress omg she was great.
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.
The scene at 44:30 still gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. Anna Gunn's performance here is perfection and of course Bryan Cranston's cold calculated stare as he puts the truck in reverse. Then it swells even more with the music/sound effects at the end. Rian Johnson's directing abilities along with Vince's storytelling led to one of the most compelling scenes in all forms of entertainment.
When I rewatch this show, which I’ve done dozens of times, Walter always gets lucky. But then again, he’s smart enough to hold his own. Walter is a bloody genius. Gus was a genius, but Walter was a better one. Keeping himself alive using what ever means necessary. Walter did it to everyone. He was able to fool everyone. Not for long, but a while. He was a terrible liar. My only complaint, if you are going to lie, try to be good at it. Breaking Bad is amazing.
I think Gus was way better than Walter was. Gus would've continued to millions of millions if Walter didn't ruin the entire operation. Everything was perfect for him.
@@AlexOxygen true, Mike said the same thing. Walter’s ego blew things up. Gus never killed Walter, Walter kept himself alive until he was ready to kill Gus. That was Gus’s biggest mistake. He had the opportunity to kill Walter a few times, Walter kept himself alive. Great show regardless.
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 42:05, that is what being crushed, entirely, looks like.
I sometimes think about rewatching the show, then a video like this reminds me of how stressful the show got each season. Especially these moments where Walt almost gets found out. I’ll bring myself to rewatch it, but does anyone else feel the same lol?
I’ve seen through Breaking Bad like 2-3 times and I’ll probably watch through it another once or twice in my lifetime but sometimes you just have to let things sit. Besides, I watched this video today and this essentially speedran the series
Anyone ever notice Crazy 8’s yellow car is Jesse Pinkman’s car throughout the rest of the series? When you look close at the grille, you will see the Buick grill doesn’t quite fire right.
Nah Both car might be the same model, but Krazy 8's car was taken by the DEA under custody Jesse's car was a whole different car, that Jesse bought with his own money which was supposed to be for his education. I remember, his mom told Hank that Jesse could've used that money for his education, but he wasted it on buying the car. Jesse bought his car when he lived in his mom and dad's place, which was before he was in the m*th business. So there is no way that Jesse bought Krazy 8's car, cuz by that time, he was already famous as a low level cook
You're forgetting that Walt say Jesse's number plate (THE CAPN), whcih is how he was able to figure out that Jesse was Captain Cook. He went to Jesse house, and saw the car being there. The whole mess with Krazy 8 happened way later, and even before that Jesse did have his car. So there's no way it was Jesse's car. Also, DEA took Krazy 8's carz as evidence. So there's no way someone could buy it
Era bueno, pero como Walt es el protagonista nos hace ver como si este último fuese el bueno realmente, y Hank el malvado. Para mí, todos son personas con intereses, ni buenos ni malos.
Great detective mixed when it comes to the subject of being good or bad as indicated by the title every single character Breaks Bad. Hank was definitely closer to the good guys but there's a lot of evidence he really messed up especially the way he went about the investigation obsessively he probably could have done a lot more good overall had he listened to Merkert and save his own life.
8:46 “maybe they’re college kids, trying to make a big score. Maybe. But with a score that big they’re gonna step on some toes. They better hope we catch up to them before those boys from Juarez.” Gods the writing was strong then.
@jonoboi8069 yup, idk why but at the time I wrote this I was thinking about when Gus poisoned the cartel and for some reason I thought he used ricin so that's why I was confused
@jonoboi8069 I've seen some theories that it was a high dosage of nicotine he slipped into the bottle, which apparently if you consume a lot of, can be fatal. There's no definitive answer so it's up in the air I guess lol
And the KEEPING that book that Hank and Walt have directly talked about with the same names, same handwriting, same subject. Theres no even explaining that. Walt is a big dumbo. Thats not even ego really. Thats just stupid.
Prof! I love this video. Collins was a true force of musical power in the 80s. I appreciate how you show such great respect to these iconic artists. Well done! How about something on Neil Finn and Crowded Hpuse? He’s my fav singer/songwriter and they are my fav band.

ps; a comp of every shot/angle that a character can be seen in a reflection; would be doooope. a comp of mike mackerel-staring mf's down, too. and one of all of walters freakout, "JESSE!! JESSEEE!!!! JESSEEEEEEEEE!!!!" moments.
Im not sure if this is intentional, but at 5:24 when hank says “I know they’re your students but do not underestimate them” I cant help but think that has a double meaning for Jesse
He went undetected so long because everyone underestimated him. He was a dorky chemistry teacher who had cancer. You can actually tell that Hank did suspect walt a couple of times but he ended up dismissing all his concerns because he never imagined walt wasn't just some loser.
It isn't until Gus gets identified and his old boss resigns and says "he was living a completely different life right under my nose, and I never saw it" that we see the gears turn in hanks head. And the notebook confirms his suspicions.
Man I totally forgot that even in the first episode that Walt was ready to kill him self
and he never said that to Pinkman.
I always wondered why they never talked to the first responders to the fire. I'm sure one of them would have seen a middle aged guy in his underwear on the side of the road.
Wow...a good one.🎉
They were probably on another emergency?
That's exactly what I thought
very true
The perfect criminal, straight as an arrow, no priors, no connections, has his teaching job as the perfect Alibi. If he'd done his job and known his place, he would be fine right now
Only because Gale was gone, otherwise he was dying very soon
@TheNinthGenerarion all he needed to so was work with gale and put his ego aside and he'd be fine
@@whitewolf8051 not quite, Gale’s job was to learn the recipe well enough that Gus could then get rid of Walt
@@TheNinthGeneration1 People seem to forget this. They just throw around the word "ego" and act like that's Walt's motivation for everything. Walt, sharp as anyone, knew that Gus was planning on getting rid of him.
@@Anthony_Giorgio_Guitarthat explains that sure, but dinner was the biggest example of his ego. He could have let hank believe he was right about gale, hid the book and moved on. But instead of tested him and said “are you sure?”
"you got me" at 25:00 is a scene i am always paranoid about. You can't tell me that in that moment, Hank didn't know. Now, there isn't much cause to believe Hank knew, but he would have certainly had suspicions from the moment he investigated the missing lab equipment. His immediate aggressive pursuit of Walt when he "finds out" seems to discredit this thought, but I just can't help seeing Hank's arc as one of cognitive dissonance. Yes, he is TRAINED to look at exactly all of the pieces of evidence that Walter lets slip. We have to wonder how he didn't know, because the fact of the matter is he HAD to. He knew and repressed, he wanted to believe that Walter would be scared off or, at the very least, incapable of participating in the worst implications of his career.
I know Hank would work to forgive Walter if Walter had been a benign presence in the scene, producing only as a captive of some larger kingpin. I can't see Hank missing the mountain of evidence implicating Walter. I CAN see him underestimating Walter's guilt and trying to subtly warn him away from the scene while pursuing who he thinks are the real malevolent actors, or perhaps viewing him as a victim of ambition, underestimating and becoming trapped by the danger of the work he stumbles into trying to make money.
As it stands, Walter destroyed everything Hank had, to the point of threatening his wife. He suspects, and he represses, and his repression represses to the point that he can't remember he knows until he is violently reminded of his well founded suspicions in the post-script of a series of profound traumas which are the consequence of Walter's actions exclusively.
Think about all the lives that would have been saved had walter knew how to properly use a gun at the start.
15:00 "get out of the way, heisenberg! im trying to find heisenberg!"
Lol 😂
The DEA just threw away the original to catch the bootleg version 😂
Hank getting killed was the beginning of the end to him getting out of jams clean. It all fell apart after that
I would say losing Jesse on his side is the beginning of the end.
48:20 ain't no man you won't let me forget this scene even after years , still give me chills and sense of incompleteness and fulfillment at same time
@@sarthaksingh7217 video came out 41 minutes ago, no way you watched all that without skipping.
@@sebsmith5100 They never said they watched the whole thing? They skipped ahead to talk about that scene in specific.
@@sebsmith5100wait till you find out about video speed multiplayer
@@JiF28 thanks captain hindsight
@@sebsmith5100 I know many people that watch YT videos at higher playback speeds like 1.5x. They can still understand everything going on (especially if its just clips they've already seen) and get through an hour video in about 40 minutes.
1:55 is such a Hal moment
pretty sure there was a malcolm in the middle episode where Hal did that exact thing actually
Gomez: yeah they got him all with the painkillers,resting comfortably...
Guy with legs shot off laying in partial coma:
😊
I really appreciate that Skylar can vividly be seen understanding Walt is saying to much about Gale. Skylar knows he should let Hank be on that thought train…. But Walter is Walter. Ego Unmatched 28:58
Hank getting killed still hurts.
On my last rewatch of the series, my Bluetooth speaker that I forgot to turn off earlier made its little battery dying sound at the exact moment Hank got shot, now I laugh every time I see it 😢😂
Answer: The writers didn't want him found sooner.
Just couldn't let Gale take the credit and the heat. Get that wine away from him. Too reckless, too cocky.
Pride cometh before the fall
It’s not just the credit, it’s the fact that Hank said he could’ve used his intellect to “help society” but the sad truth is Walter was screwed over from achieving mainstream success (by normie standards)
17:09 How the hell he reach that tone
and then… bwa
It's not that hard to reach that tone.
I didn't realise at that time, that hanks sense fashion has come back today, cuban collared oversized shirts, baggy pants... Wow what a cool dude he is
42:47 the most heartbreaking scene in the whole show and maybe all of TV. Makes my hair stand on end when Skyler screams in silence in the street.
Because he’s the danger
What's up Danger
He's in danger *
he was never the danger. skylar points this out after walt tells her he killed Gus
Phenomenal acting on the actor of Hank.
This felt like watching the series again
hank really told walt to watch over his turf
Because of that Bryan Cranston rizz
I wish we couldve gotten a Hank/Walt buddy cop show
I remember watching this show 3 years ago and omg it's the best show ever, and if you watch better call Saul you do your self a favour because this is top cinema. Bcs makes you appreciate even more breaking Bad. I have to say that the Skylar haters have to admit that she is a crazy good actress omg she was great.
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.
The scene at 44:30 still gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. Anna Gunn's performance here is perfection and of course Bryan Cranston's cold calculated stare as he puts the truck in reverse. Then it swells even more with the music/sound effects at the end. Rian Johnson's directing abilities along with Vince's storytelling led to one of the most compelling scenes in all forms of entertainment.
best breaking bad video ever!!
>shoots mike
>"im so sorry... i dont know what went wrong..."
When I rewatch this show, which I’ve done dozens of times, Walter always gets lucky. But then again, he’s smart enough to hold his own. Walter is a bloody genius. Gus was a genius, but Walter was a better one. Keeping himself alive using what ever means necessary. Walter did it to everyone. He was able to fool everyone. Not for long, but a while. He was a terrible liar. My only complaint, if you are going to lie, try to be good at it. Breaking Bad is amazing.
I think Gus was way better than Walter was. Gus would've continued to millions of millions if Walter didn't ruin the entire operation. Everything was perfect for him.
@@AlexOxygen true, Mike said the same thing. Walter’s ego blew things up. Gus never killed Walter, Walter kept himself alive until he was ready to kill Gus. That was Gus’s biggest mistake. He had the opportunity to kill Walter a few times, Walter kept himself alive. Great show regardless.
Walter might have been smarter but Gus was way more competent
@@xXxXKusKusXxXx oh yeah, Walter’s ego man! That’s what got him into trouble.
@@xXxXKusKusXxXxthat's pretty much the only reason I rooted for him and only him.
Bro had that main character energy😂
Who, the main character?😅
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 42:05, that is what being crushed, entirely, looks like.
If I was Hank i wouldn't find out Walt either!
Awesome😊😊
2:20 show you that luck play a huge role in his story.
If he was found out sooner, rhe show would have to end earlier, and less money for Bravo Vince.
An hour of breaking bad clips, I’m living in a dream
I sometimes think about rewatching the show, then a video like this reminds me of how stressful the show got each season. Especially these moments where Walt almost gets found out. I’ll bring myself to rewatch it, but does anyone else feel the same lol?
I’ve seen through Breaking Bad like 2-3 times and I’ll probably watch through it another once or twice in my lifetime but sometimes you just have to let things sit. Besides, I watched this video today and this essentially speedran the series
Excellent video, as always!!
Hanks just more of a slow burn guy
Really wish we could take a pill and forget what happens scene after scene because wanna watch it for the first time again GOAT series
Now please do a compilation about Chuck's EHS and that was all in his mind!
Around the 29:00 mark when Skyler is just looking at Walt like “shut up shut up shut up” 😂😂
Anyone ever notice Crazy 8’s yellow car is Jesse Pinkman’s car throughout the rest of the series? When you look close at the grille, you will see the Buick grill doesn’t quite fire right.
Nah
Both car might be the same model, but Krazy 8's car was taken by the DEA under custody
Jesse's car was a whole different car, that Jesse bought with his own money which was supposed to be for his education. I remember, his mom told Hank that Jesse could've used that money for his education, but he wasted it on buying the car.
Jesse bought his car when he lived in his mom and dad's place, which was before he was in the m*th business. So there is no way that Jesse bought Krazy 8's car, cuz by that time, he was already famous as a low level cook
You're forgetting that Walt say Jesse's number plate (THE CAPN), whcih is how he was able to figure out that Jesse was Captain Cook. He went to Jesse house, and saw the car being there.
The whole mess with Krazy 8 happened way later, and even before that Jesse did have his car. So there's no way it was Jesse's car.
Also, DEA took Krazy 8's carz as evidence. So there's no way someone could buy it
@@souptikchakraborty.yt.2024 in the movie production, it is verified that they are the same car.
@@iamgriff they're the same model, but not the same car
@@souptikchakraborty.yt.2024 okay, believe what you want. But the truth is they shot the car red over the yellow after the pilot episode.
4:41 Chemistry teacher here, HS Chemistry labs don't have chemical Respirators, let alone would they be labeled with the HS's name on them.
Quiet, nerd
How pure is your methamphetamine?
and they also dont contain gallons of HF
@@placeholerwavmy high school (2018) actually did have hundreds of gallons for the Chem class experiments
Sure sure they don't.
Hank was actually a good detective and generally a good guy.
Neuteral guy, not good, bad, or evil
@@kainlives7958 por qué lo dices?
Era bueno, pero como Walt es el protagonista nos hace ver como si este último fuese el bueno realmente, y Hank el malvado. Para mí, todos son personas con intereses, ni buenos ni malos.
Great detective mixed when it comes to the subject of being good or bad as indicated by the title every single character Breaks Bad. Hank was definitely closer to the good guys but there's a lot of evidence he really messed up especially the way he went about the investigation obsessively he probably could have done a lot more good overall had he listened to Merkert and save his own life.
Good detective but a bad person
Walt didn’t want Gale to take Credit for his Legendary Recipe.
What was basic chemistry😅
37:59 my favorite
it would have been funny if later on in the series when hank is catching on he watches Walt do something similar to the barrel carry
Really shows how little of a threat Walter was in Hanks mind
44:46 nice move, walt
How did I just watch this for 50 minutes without realizing
Time flies when you're cooking
I mean having fun hehe
@@roaming740 😂😂
That's the magic of Breaking Bad.
❤ THE BEST SERIE EVER MADE❤
"You think Jimmy's actually for real? That he wanted to be in prison?"
Better Call Saul: I guess so ;)
8:46 “maybe they’re college kids, trying to make a big score.
Maybe. But with a score that big they’re gonna step on some toes. They better hope we catch up to them before those boys from Juarez.”
Gods the writing was strong then.
Watched the first show a year ago and had to binge the entire series. One of the best series produced.
Haven't been this early to a BB video in a long time
Man I wish I could watch this series for the first time again. Must’ve binged the whole thing in a little over a week lol
this is dope
Nice compilation
lesson: roll your barrel because it's a barrel, it rolls
Hank 3 & 0 against the Salamanca’s
Nah...2 x 0.... Leonel was k*lled by Mike
@@souptikchakraborty.yt.2024 oh my bad I meant 2.5 & 0 😂
@@NistaDGB correct 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:56-2:10 is the most 'Hal' Cranston ever was in this series 🤣
Just curious how it took so long for the ricin to kick in for Lydia
It didn’t? Ricin is said to kick in 2-3 days after he administers it. That clubhouse scene must happen 2-3 days after he saw Lydia for the last time
@jonoboi8069 yup, idk why but at the time I wrote this I was thinking about when Gus poisoned the cartel and for some reason I thought he used ricin so that's why I was confused
@@chrisa8863 you know, that’s a fair assumption, I wonder what kind of poison Gus used
@jonoboi8069 I've seen some theories that it was a high dosage of nicotine he slipped into the bottle, which apparently if you consume a lot of, can be fatal. There's no definitive answer so it's up in the air I guess lol
And the KEEPING that book that Hank and Walt have directly talked about with the same names, same handwriting, same subject. Theres no even explaining that. Walt is a big dumbo. Thats not even ego really. Thats just stupid.
the intro song, i heard that back in 2007 i am glad they used that song for this scene , Molotov is one of my favorite bands
well...goodbye Lidia...
He’s also by far the smartest character in the whole show (except maybe chuck)
Saul post better call saul
Its about survival and skinny pete and badger got it all from helping jesse and walter white
He's a lot smarter than Chuck imo. Don't forget he's a Nobel Prize winner
Prof!
I love this video. Collins was a true force of musical power in the 80s. I appreciate how you show such great respect to these iconic artists.
Well done!
How about something on Neil Finn and Crowded Hpuse? He’s my fav singer/songwriter and they are my fav band.
