The poor guy is chained up, but Todd arrives to bring him to where he is needed. The focus returns to, Jesse, who is now beaten and bloodied. Deep breath- Photo Credit: Ursula Coyote/AMC He races off with her in his truck, leaving Skyler to slump to the ground in the middle of the road. Walt escapes, but not before snagging Holly. back up against his mother to defend her, dialing 911 in the process, and informing the poilce that his dad is dangerous and needs to be dealt with. The two grab at each other and tumble around on the floor, and when Skyler breaks loose, Walt Jr. As Walt escorts Walt Jr to his room to pack, Skyler arms herself with a kitchen knife, and swings at Walt, cutting his hand. Walt doesn’t reveal too much, which eventually leads his wife to believe that he killed Hank. Skyler begins to question Hank’s whereabouts, as Marie said he had custody of his brother-in-law. They encounter the once proud meth lab king, who begs for them to pack up so they can go away. However, he does break through a little bit only to call his mom a liar if it is true. needs to be made aware of his father’s actions. Meanwhile, Marie finds Skyler at A-1, and tells her that Hank has Walt in custody, and Flynn/Walt Jr. He comically rolls his barrel of money to a nearby house, and pays a good chunk of change to the resident for a truck. We resume back to Walt, who is driving back home, but his car is out of gas. ![]() The first half hour being uninterrupted was superb thinking. Also, a side note-whoever thought to place the opening credits halfway through the episode made a smart move. In the first half hour of the program, our stomachs have already been punched. Jesse is taken away, and Walt is left alone. ![]() I watched her overdose and choke to death. Todd proclaims they will do the job Walt wants right when they are done, and when they escort Jesse out, Walt drops the bombshell: Jesse accepts his fate, but not before Todd reasons with his Uncle that Jesse could provide them information before they put him down. Once Walt gets back to his feet, he tells Jack that he still owes him Jesse Pinkman, who happens to be hiding underneath Walt’s car. They load up Walt’s money, leaving him ONE barrel (that being thanks to Todd’s good deed and him asking his Uncle to at least have a little dignity) that’s 11 million dollars worth. He slumps to the ground, but Jack and his posse don’t care what deal has been made. Walt drops to his knees, shocked beyond reasoning. Like this was a predictable moment, it was, but still, the death of Hank just begins the downward spiral of this phenomenal episode. Hank then faces towards Jack and says “If you got something to do then do-“Īt this point in the game, my head cowered into my hands. Hank tells Walt these chilling words… “You’re the smartest man I’ve ever met, but you’re stupid to see - he made up his mind ten minutes ago.” Walt and Hank exchange words, with Walt begging Hank to just let them do this and go, no charges made, but that’s not going to happen. White exits the car he’s been trapped in, and pleads to let Hank go for all of his earnings since he’s been cooking - a whopping 80 million dollars. One of Jack’s cronies finds out that Hank is with the DEA, and when Jack is about to plug him, Walt screams for it all to stop. Jack (Todd’s uncle) moves toward the wounded solider and steps on his hand, removing the ability to get the gun. Hank has been shot in the leg, and he reaches for Gomez’ shotgun. The gunfight is over, and Gomez is wiped out. We then move back to the conclusion of last week’s episode. When the phone call is finished, Walt fades away, along with the infamous RV that housed the beginning of a meth business. ![]() Walt goes far out into the desert to call Skyler, and begins his series of lies, only this one seems innocent in nature compared to what Mr. Walt’s rocking his tighty wighties, and Jesse is a punk. The events begin with a flashback, putting us in the time frame of Walt’s and Jesse’s first cook. Now bear with me, there’s a lot to recap here, but you know as well as I do that every moment of ”Ozymandias” was crucial. Creator Vince Gilligan has created something magestic here, even in its disturbing imagery, and director of said episode, Rian Johnson ( Brick, Looper) angles the camera perfectly to document the downfall of King Walter White (referencing back to the title of the episode). It’s amazing to me that as the series winds down, it is not letting us go easily into the night. But last night’s episode of Breaking Bad, titled “Ozymandias” broke the mold. I’ve been privy to epic television episodes throughout my life.
