Skylar's face as she realizes what Walt is actually doing...
why what was he doing

@stimmo77 genius.
excellent acting
@@akosszilagyi2656 he knows the DEA are listening
2:49 me when my new sink is delivered
Bruhhhhh
When my roommate doesn't let that sink in our house
Sink is the one who knocks
Me me me...
hahaha
At first I thought Walt was just ranting and then I realized he was saving his family
I didn't see it that way, but you are right.
Thanks
This is the moment Heisenberg becomes Walt
This is the moment I hit send on my reply to you.
This is the moment I exist.
this is the moment i turn oxygen to carbon dioxide.
Underrated comment
This is the Moment when my product got 99.1% purity
Two minutes silence for those who didn't understand what Walt did here.
Hey tell me lol im lost
@@Eugenepanels He knew that people were listening to the call, so he acted like only he was responsible for his crimes so Skyler didn't have to take the blame
@@silasclare2195 damn, and I thought he was egomaniac
@@RIFLQ Seriously? He barely kept it together during the call and was about to burst into tears.
@@silasclare2195 thx man i never understood this call 100% . I always thought Walt went full evil
If you listen to it carefully, walt is really smart, every word is carefully choreographed
But he said too much...sad end for such a legend..
Nah fr
@Jax T Are you even aware of how many people didn't get the point of this scene? An absolutely ridiculous amount.
@Jax T Walt literally shed all of his Heisenberg skin to let the world know how he really felt for once. I think he really wanted them to hear his final lament, he has no legacy to pass on other than that, I'd say.
@@corndogrequiem1728 bro your dumb. He knew the police would be listening. He is saying all of this to absolve skyler. Hence, “what would you know about [what i do], nothing”. What villain cries during their big villain speech like you believe this to be.
Christ. Don’t you understand that he knew there were people listening in, and that he was exonerating her for his crimes?
Yep. That's his anti-villainy. By the end, he's realizing a LITTLE bit to no longer drag the others in. A little.
It was intentional. He knew that they were listening. If you listen carefully to Walt's dialogue, he never mentioned Skyler's contributions toward laundering the money, saying he did everything. He basically got Skyler out of a deeper hold than she could have been in.
Ohhhh
@@skmfilms4229 thats what the first comment said
At first I was confused at his sudden cruelty, but when he mentioned "And now you tell my son what I do" it was clear. That was the first lie to make him seem like the only culprit.
You know this hurt Walt to say these things
In a way, Walt wanted to get caught. He enjoyed the rush and drama. By the beginning of season 5, after bombing a nursing home, he didn’t care anymore. Getting caught by Hank was another step towards dominance in the profession he chose.
@@tankdogization no
"You know this hurt Walt to say these things"
Yes because the man who was playing Walt was pretending to cry or barely hold back tears, which is how actors show that their character is sad.
@@TheMisterGuy why are you the way you are
@@Zenrich sleep with the lights on tonight
Marie was so annoying but her expression when she heard about Hank broke my heart honestly.
@TheCrusader no she just became more of a victim so you had to feel bad
In season 1 and 2, sure, but she became a very compelling character towards the end
nope.
Marie was "weird" to say the least in the two-three first seasons. I think she and Hank only improved when they were clearly the ones doing the right thing, while Walter is magalomaniacal and Jesse is a by the influence "victim".
I was ecstatic when I seen her upset. Even set her crying as my text alert
He knew right here that he would never see his family again. Things would never be the same. Hence why he was on the verge of tears. You know he wanted to tell her that he loved her and his family and was sorry. But he had to incriminate himself to take the focus off of Skyler for the sake of his family. His last sacrifice. Seeing his face before he hangs up breaks my heart. This is acting at it’s finest!!
I see your point, but then why would he even bother trying to reach Walt Jr? He put a lot of faith that Skylar would explain to him what Walt really did. Trying to use Louis to deliver the money was a pretty foolish plan.
@@nahor88 i mean you cant really blame him. h
@@nahor88Why would anyone try seeing their OWN CHILD AGAIN? Dude just say your Dad didn’t love you. No need to bum out the room.
If only Walt Jr got to know that Walt didn’t really kill hank.😞
He probably did at some point after the ending.
Skyler probably told him
Even if not directly, he still was responsible at least a significant portion.
@@akosszilagyi2656 he died at the end
I mean its still his fault Hank died
What amazing writing and acting. The look on Skylar's face when she realizes what Walt's doing, then the apology... for not understanding before.
That was not actually an apology for not understanding before, that was sign of approval or a mere "I got you" from her side as response to his acting. From that moment on, she picked up on the lie and was in character, a broken scared wife. He made that pause to check if she picked up on the act, and got the response he needed.
And in just one phone call Walt completely clears Skyler of any suspicion or charges that may come her way.
😎
She definetly isn't out of trouble or above suspicion as a matter of fact she is the lone point on which law enforcement can focus all they're wrath and that's exactly what they do and it's very true to life. Like Saul pointed out with Walt and Pinkman both missing and two federal agents missing presumed dead they are going after Skyler with everything they have the phone call gave her a leg to stand on and evidence of abuse which maybe she convinces a jury she was simply a terrified woman whose world turned upside down when she discovered her husband was involved in the drug trade and she had no choice but to obey him and not set him off. She couldn't go to police because she has no proof and is far to afraid to cross him anyhow as she could say he told her some of the things he's done and killing her would be childs play for him and she truly feared he would kill her and the kids before he died of cancer because he told her he was going to.
He knew the cops were listening
@@monstersponge9096 not really did you watch the rest of the show? The phone call doesn't clear her it may have helped if she went to trial when it was played for a jury but like Saul said in Walt's absence the feds are going after Mrs. Heisenberg.
This is basically how most viewers were reacting to skyler
no u
@@ClaytonTheCracker Oh sure, if objectively meant was "subjectively" meant. But as the English language is now? Nope.
@@ClaytonTheCracker I wish dislikes actually did something on yt
@@ClaytonTheCracker Skyler did nothing wrong tho
@@ClaytonTheCracker using your own word, you are objectively wrong
How did people miss the point of this scene? I just finished watching this series for the first time and I realized it right away. It’s obvious Walter was just putting on an act, dude was crying as he was saying these horrible things. Skylar goes along with it by saying “sorry” because it makes her seem like a battered wife, suffering from her husbands tyranny.
And once she says that, he knows that she understands what he's doing, and is playing along. His pause before she apologizes, he's just waiting to see if she's getting it. When she goes from aggressive responses to a timid "I'm sorry," he knows she gets it. Cheers.
@@parklloyd6690 well said my friend
@@parklloyd6690 god thank you we have some logical people here
@@pic402 wait, are you telling me that some good writers can make a good show? I only watch DC movies, they turned out to be watchable.
These are the same idiots that clap and yell at star wars and marvel movies. Substandard humans without a modicum of intellegence that just consume information. Like dangling keys in front of a baby.
The acting Anna Gunn does during the first part of the call with just her eyes. Magnificently done.
The silent conversation between Walter and Skylar, Walter hoping Skylar realizes what he's doing, and the process of Skylar realizing. Breaking Bad's final season was just perfect.
Who is "Skylar"?
@@Gnarfledarfskyler
@@Gnarfledarf skylar the sky dragon- one of th most powerful cards
This has been commented on before, but it's curious how in this scene Walt pretty much asumes the role of the generic Skyler hater.
At least it was an act
So 95 per cent of the watchers.
Tbh i dont understand why people hate Skylar so much, what do you expect of a housewife who is pregnant, getting lied to by her husband dying of cancer, who fears for her children and has to keep a burden of a secret from ruining the family. When Walt told Skylar and Walt jr to pack up to disappear what housewife would just agree to leave their whole life behind and start anew. Who can blame her for acting that way
@@terencefletcher5139 I don't know about other people but that's not why I hate her. I hate her because she slept with her boss just to get to Walt, she was cooking Ted's books before she did anything for Walt so she was already a criminal, then uses his money to bail herself out while still judging him, oh and she went off and smoked while pregnant.
@@abigbutterstick1780 honestly and to top it all off she made it so when Walt tried to get out he couldn't because the money was all gone. The one time he really was ready to quit
This scene and at least a dozen others are the reason why Anthony Hopkins sent Bryan Cranston a personal letter of praise and congratulations after binging all of Breaking Bad.
The entirety of Ozymandias was just perfection incarnate
This is the moment where Breaking Bad became Breaking Everyone's Heart
Finally a good one
1:22 i love the look walt gives here
like
“please please tell me you know what im doing here”
1:11 This is the moment Walter White became Jesse Pinkman
Nah it was in s1ep2
Loooool underrated comment
It must be really hard to keep up the act of the cold, cruel criminal when Hank's death hits Walter just as hard as the rest of the family.
It must have killed him to say that she would end up like Hank!
This is probably the most profound, well-acted scene in the history of television. Gets me every time.
The only words he said honestly were "You know you never believed in me". For the rest, it was great theatrics
So heartbreaking. When she realises what he’s doing it feels like the ‘I’m sorry’ is real. 💔
Oh have u seen the scene where Skylar cant stop walt from taking their baby. Jeez man.
0:38. Hal from Malcolm in the middle
THIS IS WHAT COMES OF YOUR DISRESPECT!
I told you Skylar
I warned you for a solid year
You cross me, there will be consequences
What part of that didn't you understand?

Breaking Dad Jokes
God I love this scene. It marks the beginning of Heisenberg's transition back to Walt--or what's left of him, leading into the finale.
The genius thing about this scene is that even if you don’t realise what Walt is doing, it still makes you feel the way they want you to feel
You could tell how much pain Walt was in as he talked about Hank
This is a masterclass on acting….
Ask the sink what it wants first, don't just let it in
Underrated comment, even if it's probably stolen
Lmfao took me a moment.
I laughed for like a good 10 min to this comment..
I don’t get it can someone explain.
@@aseem2985 please explain, I’m so confused.
*People are simply wrong to say Walt is plain evil. He is deliberately putting on a front to make himself look so bad that his unfaithful wife will get off scot-free of suspicion. He's letting everyone, including his own son, hate him in order to protect and provide for his family.*
@seth he cooked meth for himself. The sacrifice he is referring too is letting the cops think he is entirely guilty
Do you miss the part where he posioned a child?
@@patrickflammer9980 with the lilly of the valley which doesn't kill you.
@@agfromheaven566 "Yeah he poisoned a child, potentially killing him but we don't know if he died! Walt's the good guy!!!"
@@chels4074 he's a scientist he's gonna know correct dosing.
I just gotta say wow after reading the comments and truly getting this scene more watching it is making my brain explode all these tiny moments and small emotions I’m catching onto now is insane
wow this is such a heartbreaking scene
I never realized that Skyler knew what that Walt was putting up an act here.
This is the moment when Holly becames a Fire woman
When you see the Math teacher explain the solution wrong on the board: 1:11
This was the moment Walt turned oxygen into carbon dioxide
I like to think he also did this so that the rest of his family listening in would hate him, and wouldn't be upset when he dies
Forever silence for those who think someone hadn’t understood what walt did here
Actually you might wanna silence yourself, cause I read through all the comments and found at least 3 people who had no idea what walt was doing in this scene
I was about to cry but then I realised I had to let that sink in.
1:11 Walt's delivery is just enough to give anyone chills...it even scared himself...
1:11 when the barrista forgets to put chocolate on your cappuccino!
0:39 This Is the moment When Skylar realise that Walt was saving them from getting into it and from Police
after finishing the show it feels so different just rewatching all of these scenes. their acting is insane.
One of the finest-acted scenes...ever. In anything. Seriously, put Cranston and Gunn into the annals of Great Performances for just this scene alone, they deserve it.
Also one of the finest pieces of voice acting that I have ever come across.
Meanwhile Saul desperately in his office calling the vacuum cleaner guy
I’m so disappointed in myself for not understanding the meaning behind this call on first viewing.
TBF Walt was extremely abusive, violent and pretty much evil earlier in the episode. Sending Jesse to his death and completely scaring and hurting his family. I also thought at first that he maybe showed the true colors of his abusive and criminal personality. Also there might be bits and pieces in the phone call that do expreess some of his real frustrations with Skylar.
I wonder if Walter pre planned this when he took Holly
I don't think so. There is a scene where Walt goes to change Holly in a bathroom and he realises how wrong it is to keep her with him. I'm not 100% sure if it is before or after this scene, but if it was before then he definitely didn't plan this, more that he took Holly out of anger before realising he had to give her back, with the opportunity to help Skyler as well.
@@damianwilson7526 im gonna rewatch the entire series soon
@@damianwilson7526 Nah I'm pretty sure he just wanted to say goodbye because he knew if he left he'd probably never see her again.
@@christianarmstrong4346 I am not sure. When he fights with his family and he sees Jr. and Skylar sitting on the floor and crying and be scared of him, he realizes that he has ruined his family. So I could see him making a plan to at least get Skylar free but at the same time he still seemed extremely angry and the way he storms off with Holly and the way he pushes Skylar's car away seem pretty much like actions of impulse.
Also I am not sure he would be willing to just take his Baby with him when he might get chaased by the police, if his actions were ment to be a smart plan to protect his family. It feels more like an impuslive thing.
This gotta be a Top 10 moment on TV. The buildup for this immense.
Top 2 and its not 2
Skyler was right. She didn’t have any of Walts magic to handle the little bit of pressure from the early half of season 5. She and Jesse didn’t choose their situation. Walt chose them to get further ahead.
This video makes for a good meme template tbh
the way he says to skyler she’ll never see hank again all tough like he shows no remorse but you can see walt cry as he says it really got me
That pause Walt realized that the police were listening in on the call.
Surely
2:50 WHAT DID THAT SINK DO TO DESERVE TO COME INTO MY HOME
The guy holding and listening to the recorder, inside he was like👀👀👀
y'all actually don't realize that walt is trying to make skylar look like a better person so that she doesn't get into any trouble.
I like how when Skyler begins to ask about Hank, she changes her direction just so slightly away from where Marie is watching her. She does this because she feels the guilt of letting Walt get involved with the meth business, which forced Hank to capture him and die in the process. She also knows walt is trying to protect her so she couldn't show herself to Marie
I love the zoom on Skylers face as she realises what Walts doing over the phone
Breaking Bads final season is pure perfection🤧
i don't know why, but this scene always makes me feel like walt is a little kid that tried to hide something bad he did from his parents, by doing something really terrible. so much destruction was brought on his family so they can...not be poor? with money they can't fully enjoy because everyone will wonder how they came into so much money, and with and emotional trauma for the rest of their lives?
Flynn’s face at the end is heartbreaking, the amount of pain is incredible, rj is such a great actor
What is really great about this scene is the bryan Cranston at his best you see him talk to skyler and you can see it breaking his heart but he is trying to stay grim absolute beauty ❤
When he says “Maybe now you’ll use your damn head”, it’s like he’s signaling her to listen closer to what he’s saying and what’s he’s doing in this moment. Brilliant!!
I'm seeing more comments talking about people misunderstanding this scene, than I've seen actual people misunderstanding this scene.
This is the moment that was before the next moment after this moment.
The moment she says she is sorry Walt knows they are on the same page.
People do not realize that Walter was doing because it worked just perfect.
Damn. S1 Walt would've never DREAMED of talking to Skyler in this way.
i mean, it was all an act tho and she picked up on it
Honestly nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing Marie cry after she realizes hank died,because she literally contributed to his death
How
@@adamlion3495 Marie didn't let Hank enjoy his minerals in peace. This was too much pressure for Hank, so he committed suicide by allowing Jack to finish the job
@@pocketsand4404 atleast he's chilling with his minerals underground now 🙌
If only hank didnt call marie after cuffing walt, he would have never been killed along with gomez
This is the moment duct tape became band aid
She was the worst wife in crime drama history…like seriously
Thank you Rotten Tomatoes 🤙🏼
" "It's all about the family"

Heisenberg is stronger than family
but family could kill hisenberg
Dominic Torreto begs to differ.
1:36 me when my mum asked why I bought a thousands pounds worth of Lego
This is one of the only times Walt truly puts aside his ego and helps someone else, Channelling Heisenberg whilst breaking down as Walt. Perfection
The thing I love about this scene is that its simultaneously orchestrated and authentic. In the first half he got to tell Skylar how he really felt while playing to the purpose of the call, it's great. He meant every word he said, even though he left some parts out while playing others up for obvious reasons, i.e. he didn't want Hank to die, but Hank did cross him and did end up dead for it.
He did not mean a single word of that, wydm? He clearly loved Skylar.
@@whatno3145 That doesn't mean he didn't get to express some of his feelings in the call. Remember the fake confession he made to Hank? If you watch carefully he also was able to express some authentic feelings to Hank and communicate messages he wasn't able to otherwise explicitly say. Sure the entire thing is fabricated, and it's there to serve and orchestrative and manipulative purpose, but the subtext of it says something real. That's what I love about these scenes.
@@kasrasammak3173 I do not think he ment everything he said at the beginning but when I first watched it I thought it were his true feelings and I still think that there is some of his real frustration in it.
As Saul said, this was a smart move from Walt but, he's not like he saved his family here. He just made it as less bad as possible for them while keeping himself safe. If he really wanted to protect his family he should have stayed
the "How dare you?" and "I am sorry" were genuine
The culmination of some of the greatest acting, writing, characterization, dramatic irony, and storytelling we will ever see. To me, this scene is everyone involved's masterpiece.
This always makes me cry.
Walt wanted to say sorry and cry
Heisenberg needed to use Hank as an Ego Massage
1:11 "when mom orders the wrong pizza" - Josh Whitford
Look at the comments .... Everyone thinks they are so smart interpreting this scene.
1:12 1:13 Walt was half giving her an alibi, and half venting his frustrations he had with her here I think
Coming out with the Bangers, RT!

1:10 is what we all wanted to hear
Fantastic directing by Rian Johnson
The only good thing he’s done in his garbage career
he's an amazing director. heard he's gonna be directing the 8th star wars movie, i'm excited to see that. definitely going to be the greatest film ever made with no problems at all
I wonder if she has worked out what he is doing...
For sure she understood right away. Skyler has always been portrayed as highly intelligent and can see through Walt's deceptions. Hell she even is good at deception herself with all the money laundering and tax inspection at Ted's company.
That's what a Man does for his family
