He got what he wanted. Now his little sister will grow up without a dad. I hope he tells her the last words he said to their dad was "just die". I'm sure that'll make her happy when she's his age.
You gotta feel sorry for Walter Jr. He spends about 95% of this show having virtually no idea what's going on, then one day he comes home from school and is told his uncle is dead and his father is a criminal. Then he sees his father and mother physically fighting and he has to restrain his father. His whole life was basically turned upside down in literal hours.
I think the fact that Flynn was listening, willing to hear his father out meant Walter could’ve said the right things. A damned apology, an explanation about what really happened to Hank or something other then cash would’ve gone a long way. When Flynn realized it was still all about money he became fed up. Worst part is this is the last conversation Flynn has. And further damage is done by that. He has to live knowing the last things he said to his father were “I hope you die.”
I think at this point they also thought that Walt mightve died or even committed suicide, and hearing confirmation of him being alive (And not changing one damn bit) just made Flynn struggle with the lack of closure even more. "Just die! Why are you still alive!?" He wants Walt dead so they can finally move on
That might be the morale of the show. His final converation was like his cancer death sentence. He ended up focusing on the wrong things, he lived his life in regret and he thought the money could make up for it, but the most important thing was his family, which he destroyed.
It’s so heartbreaking, Walt’s worst fear came true. The only real memory Walt had of his father was during his fathers final days, dying in the hospital bed, not even recognizing his own son. No matter how many stories young Walt was told about his Fathers personality, philosophy, and interests, the truth was he only ever remembered those final days with him. His father was only as good as his most recent memory of him. And Walt desperately wishes that when he’s gone his son won’t remember him on how he acted in his final months, but that’s exactly what happens. Walt was a near perfect father to Junior for 16 years, however when he learns the truth about Walt his entire attitude towards him changes. He hates his father. Those 16 years were irrelevant, Walt was only as good as Junior’s most recent memory of him, which was him as an evil man and criminal. Going forward, whenever Junior thinks about his father he probably won’t think about the kindhearted man that Walt was for most of his life, but the man who made his whole family suffer. “Just die already! Just die!” It’s truly a tragedy, just so sad
I can tell you from experience that you will eventually forgive your father for almost anything once you become old enough to figure out that you are not perfect either. You will only need to feel the regret of not forgiving and reciprocating love to a parent or family member once and then it will change you forever.
@@panthersblow yes I to will forgive me father for becoming americas greatest drug kingpin, for killing my uncle who I loved dearly, and completely tearing my family apart
@@Frostieyyy you clearly didnt understand the point, or really understand what caused Walt to become absorbed in that lifestyle to begin with. Im not making excuses for drug dealers or murderers. Simply using that clip to make a point about forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes. My father saved hundreds of lives as a surgeon. He also tore my family apart by cheating on my mom, even when my mom was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. In the end his guilt lead to alchohol and prescription drug abuse until he finally passed from advanced dementia and a bad fall. I resented him for half my life, regardless of all the support he gave me(which was a lot), because of what he did to my mom and what he became. Now that he is gone, that feels almost as selfish at what I was mad at him for. In Walts case, he started as a good man with good intentions and found out he was dying and had no way to provide for the family he loved and was willing to do whatever it took to provide for them. He did it the only way he could think to do it and became absorbed in it. He didnt kill Frank, his decisions got Frank killed. Its a sad ending, but it happens often for different reasons. Once a person is gone, there is no opportunity for understanding and forgiveness and that can really weigh on a persons conscience and never go away.
I felt very good when watching it. It was Walt's worst nightmare - to hear from his own son how he hates him and wants him to die. Walt deserved it like noone else, and that was a proper punishment for him.
@@Edison_Trent 100% agreed. I respect and agree with people who think Walt is a well-written character, but why people sympathise with him and say he is a good person is beyond me. There is not a single person in the show whose life wasn’t ruined by Walt, he is one of, if not the most, evil fictional characters I’ve ever seen in my life. He was greedy, egoistic, selfish, ruthless, and EXTREMELY manipulative. I stopped rooting for him only like 15 episodes into the show and seeing scenes like this was extremely satisfying.
@@SalvageET Yes, my thoughts exactly. A good character and a well-written character can absolutely be two different things. It's nice to see people able to recognize it. Walt is an amazingly-written character, played by a brilliant actor. But that doesn't make Walt, the character, good.
When you are explicitly 100% of the reason for it and show little to no remorse for it... why pity that person? Evil should be hated not loved. Some people deserve to die. Walt was one of those people
“It can’t be all for nothing” damn one of the most important lines of the show. Walt really is like the protagonist of a Shakespearean tragedy. His ego was his fatal flaw and he spent all that time destroying himself and those around him and all for nothing. His family despises him, he left his former partner for dead, he is left with a huge pile of money and nothing to do with it
This is what breaks me about Walt's character and the progression of his story. He built a whole empire and wanted more because of his ego, just for all of it to come crashing down with him in the end. He finally had it all, then broke his entire family apart in the process. All that money he earned died with him. All for nothing.
He admitted what it was about when he rejected 5 million in search of a billion pound empire. Their success made him feel powerless all his life and he chose that battle over his families needs. Walter got consumed by heinsenberg
Nothing changed? The context is completely different. At the beginning, Flynn said those words because he thought his dad was being too weak. Now he's saying these words because his dad tore the family apart. Same words, different reasons
@@RHR10000 he definitely cared about his family and wanted to give them the money. Even though he is an egotistical monster, he will die for his family if it comes to that
@@shawnjames3242 If he truly had cared about his family he would have taken the offer for free cancer treatment from Elliott and Gretchen, problem solved. His vanity and power trip came before his family since day one.
@@shingnosis yeah its a wierd combination of his love for his family as well has his ego. If he accept money from elliot, his ego would get hurt. He wanted to satisfy his ego as well as provide for his family. And that ended up in him doing bad things.
Hank's death was a surprise, we were so used to Walt getting what he wants, when he begged for Hank's life with the millions he had I thought oh they can be buds again. But then the whole "Walt, stop, I know I'm already dead 10 minutes ago" hit me the same it hit Walt.
Same. The whole time they where in the desert I was like "there's actually no way he's gonna die, right? Although letting him go wouldn't make much sense..." and then Hank said it and it hit me
I knew Hank was a goner the moment Walt gave Jack those coordinates. It was still sad seeing Walt willing to give away his entire net worth just for Hank to live
Flynn was old enough to put it all together, and the cerebral palsy isn't an excuse. Walt himself says he tried to save Hank, and it should've been fairly apparent he got into it in order to provide for his family. At the end of the day, yes, it turned into something he was doing for himself, but he was still ready to pass that money along to him family. Turning down the money was absolutely heartbreaking to watch.
@@nahor88 agreed, I think Walt Jr. was being a little brat, should have just taken the money why do him and his mother want to struggle financially after having already gone through all that?
@@stimpsonsutube i know it’s a tv show but honestly imagine that in reality. if it was your father who turned out to be a drug kingpin who killed multiple people, including your beloved uncle. even if they objectively needed the money, it’s not like i can blame them for wanting nothing to do with walt lol
@@gap_tooth I disagree, I think that if my father had done this the last thing I’d want would be for all that hard work to go to waste, it’s a shame to watch a man lose his way in the momentum of power but do I recall him ever taking his hand to the boy? Or skyler? He made a mistake that led to hanks death but was not the one who actually killed him in fact he WAS trying to save him, if Walt Jr understood that maybe he’d have taken the money
"It can't all be for nothing" That look on Walt's face when he realises that everything he's done was for nothing. It's the true moment that Walt realised that everything he's done was actually for himself and that in fact he destroyed his family and his relationship with it.
@@HandlesSuck123 Of course it wasn't for nothing in the end. I'm referring to the look in Walt's face upon his primary realization. He indeed, later come up with a plan as you've mentioned and therefore all of his actions had a benefit in the end.
Well, in the eyes of his family, his actions would have looked like it was for nothing since Skyler and Walt Jr made it clear they didn't want a single cent of his ill-gotten gains, and even if they did, the feds would've taken all his money. He had to force Gretchen and Elliot to give his son his money to make it look like an act of charity from them.
Hearing Walter Jr. tell his father to "just die already" is sad on its own, but what makes it even more sad is when you compare it to the similar line said by him in season 1. The first time we hear him say this it's pretty obvious that it's out of frustration stemming from the fact that he feels his father is ready to throw in the towel, whereas in this scene it's more of a direct "just give up you deserve to be dead."
Wow I didn't figure that out before. Both of these scenes have exactly opposite connotations. With the first scene he _doesn't_ want him to give up on life.
Skyler hoped the cancer came back, Hank told him to rot, Marie told him to kill himself, and Walt jr wanted him to just die. Everyone in his family hates him
RJ Mitte was the actual age that Flynn would've been during Breaking Bad's events, and despite being so young and having a disability, he played his role amazingly. I really want to applaud him so much for this, he made Flynn's character so great, even if he received so little screen-time. I really hope he'll have a great carreer going forward
It just occurred to me that Walt's last phone conversation with Skyler came off as a confession for Hank's murder, so obviously Walt Jr thought it was actually by his dad's hand directly.
it would've been understandable if he literally didn't hear walt scream at the top of his lungs in desperation "I tried to save him!". What bothers me the most about that last phone conversation was the lack of skepticism around it. Walt jr didn't even bother to ask walt what happened that day (sure walt is a pathological liar but he didn't even sound like he was lying when he told them that he tried to prevent hank from getting killed). The police didn't even notice how skyler went from demanding Holly back to pleading for her back and to come home after he literally acted like he killed hank in front of the police in that call.
@@shadowboy2818 Yeah sure. She said "bring her back" and when that didn't seem to work she changed the aproach to "I just want Holly back, please". Craaaaazy right? What a plot hole...
@@andreseh87 hey dipstick, he was actually saying that it wasnt a plot hole, if you could follow basic context clues and can read english I thought thatd be easy to grasp
I just noticed that Flynn immediately shouts at his dad about what he did to his family. He doesn't care the he lied to him, he cares that people were hurt. Flynn was everything that Walt wasn't. A compassionate human being
@@stanpines9011 his family never respected him wife was a ball breaking nag who clearly wore the pants his son didn't respect him he feared Skylar more than his father and always ran to hank for advice and hank constantly ragged on him for being a square he had enough he grew a pair and of course the family didn't support that either
"It can't all be for nothing" as he breaks down crying to his son who hates him, in a bar states away, is lowkey my favorite moment in the whole series. Especially on a rewatch, seeing everything that happened, all the people he hurt and killed... then you get here and it's just like, damn... I don't have the proper way to articulate how it makes me feel, but it's really a great little moment that doesn't get talked about nearly enough, imo.
This is the moment when Walt is walking on the fine line between "I did it for the family" and "I did it for me". You can hear his desperation when he says "It can't all be for nothing"; he says that because a part of him still wants to believe that every crime he committed, every death he caused, was still, at least kind-of, for his wife and children. The end of the call, after the total rejection by Walt Jr., that's the exact moment he totally embraces the fact that he did all that for himself. Family's either dead or rejecting of him, so he has no option but convince himself that there was no intention of doing it for the family, he did everything just for himself.
I feel like it started out as 90% for his family, and 10% for him, but as he increasingly embraces the life of crime and rejects help from Gretchen and Elliot it becomes far more for him and those numbers flip by the time halfway through season 3 he has "Sold his soul" if you will.
thats an intersting take, at that point it HAD to be just for him if he did it for his family and they hate him, then walts failed and at that point the goalpost in his mind moves from family to himself
i dont think he really convinced himself that it was all for himself either.....after all he hardly really did anything for himself with that money anyway. I think he came to terms with his ego and desire for power but he wasnt really trying to be a baller with money at any point except maybe a car for his son.
@@clayton7993 Hank was the kind of garbage cop that had no moral issues sending an innocent person to prison to get his own career going. I have no problem with the likes of him rotting in the desert.
Even though the joke of the series is Walt Jr/Flynn was mostly eating breakfast throughout the series RJ Mitte really deserve more credit because when he was given the material he really stepped up and knock it out of the park with his performance this scene being the prime example of that
Isn't it funny to think the two people that made it out the best in this entire series were Huell and Kuby? They most likely swiped a few stacks when helping Walt with the barrels of cash. Everyone else in the show suffered greatly in one way or the other.
Watching a kid go from having fun with a father that he loved to hating that very same father so much that he says "why can't you just die already" is the saddest part of all. Imagine someone you once loved so much and having been such a huge part of your life becoming someone you hate and want gone
Yeah as soon as Hank died it really hit Walt what the magnitude of his crimes were. Of course his ego would never allow him to actually repent for what he did
@@yoav4506 Well, yeah. But he'll never be known for the deed which is what he always wanted from the start - for his talents to be recognized and praised.
@@melvinbigsmokeharris7640 yup, even somewhere in the beginning (when Flynn made the fundraiser) there was a convo between him and Saul, and Walter wanted his family to know that HE gave them that money, not anybody else.
It’s mind blowing how it took Walt this long for him to finally accept that everything he did was for himself. He took everything he had for granted, in favour of fulfilling his own pride and ego. If people ever need an example of how pride and ego can be your own worst enemy, this scene is the perfect testimony of that
@@bluedemontr-whisperofwind-2296 I feel like that was just a grudge thing. Those might exist irl too, where you're just like 'I dont like this person and dont want anything from them but in public pretend were chill'. Ofc that much money for cancer treatment is hard to refuse, but this is still fiction so an exaggeration can happen.
I think his son’s rejection is what hurt Walt the most. He knew that Skyler didn’t love him, but Walt Jr did, for the longest time, until he found out.
@@princessmarlena1359 Probably wouldn't affect her much emotionally as she didn't know Walter. People don't tend to have memories from when they were literal babies after all. She would probably just find the whole thing tragic and unfortunate and feel for her mother and brother who experienced everything for real.
Skyler did love him throughout the show ofc it got a bit messy sometimes as credit to walt for that but when She got to hear from marie that Walt got arrested she was actually quite melancholic about it and cried , her love was genuine but yeah the situation was that bad that she had to rely on Todd for a while
Walter didn't say sorry *once* . Not once. At no point in his phone call did he say how sorry he was for what he has put him, his mother and his family through, that he's sorry about uncle hank, that he really did try his best to save him. Nothing, no recognition of his sins, no apologies for his misdeeds, nothing. It's just all about money for him, while Walt Jnr his way different priorities.
@@tsurugi5 you must be a troll or some kinda psicopath, even if you are the poorest person on the planet not even that person would want that kind of money if its blood money from someone you loved...
Its so crazy how the story ends with Walt threatening Elliot to give his family money, when in the beginning he was too proud to take it when freely offered. Story comes full circle
Yeah, it had to because that couple, especially Gretchen, is the whole reason why Walt is so beaten down by the time Breaking Bad starts. And it starts even before the Elliot birthday party that Walt didn't want to go to. The flashbacks of confident young Walt on the chalkboard with Gretchen with him before Gretchen instead gets with Elliot, breaking Walt's heart and causing him to leave for $5000 while they make hundreds of millions of $$$ on the ideas Walt came up with solely. That's why he hates Elliot and Gretchen so much, because one was his friend, one was his love, and to Walt, they betrayed him by getting together. So it was poetic justice for Walt to force those two to be his instrument into tricking Flynn and Skyler into accepting Walt's money for Flynn and Holly. Basically Walt wins, he does everything his way, he avenges and executes all the operations his way including dying by his own bullet.
@@Rorschachqp So winning is getting your brother in law killed and completely destroying your family? or the dozens of innocents he got killed?, He didn't win, he literally dies with his family hating him, sure he's set them up for the future, but at what cost? life long trauma?. The entire reason Walt left Grey Matter was because he felt inferior to Gretchen, it is nowhere hinted that she cheated on him. He left her after meeting her family and discovering they were wealthy. Even if she had cheated on him, leaving grey matter was still his choice. It was shown throughout the story that Walt lets his Pride and ego get the best of him. The main cause of the majority of his problems is his pride.
Exactly- it also shows the gap of understanding between them in that moment- Walt tried so hard for so long to get money for his treatment and family. Now the money for his family is all he has left. Walt doesn't try to apologize, or anything- because in his mind he was responsible for Hank's death. What Jr is saying is true. He did choose to do bad things and he needs some good to come out of it. To Jr, his father's a criminal who killed his uncle and all he says is he wants to send drug money. Walt had drifted so far away from his son by that point
The moment when Walter says "It can't be all for nothing" is so depressing, it's like you can see him desperately trying to cling to the last bit of hope that everything he did will amount to something eventually, that despite losing it all and how everything around him fell apart at least that last bit of money will go to his family to make them live comfortably after he's gone but as Flynn shuts him down, you can see the light leaving his eyes realizing that he ruined his and everyone's life around him for absolutely nothing. It's just tragic.
I think what makes this scene sadder is remembering what walt said to him in an earlier episode. Walt tells Flynn that he only had one memory of his father, which was the last time he ever saw him, and that no matter how much people would tell Walt about him, he’d still only have one person he’d imagine his father to be: a man on his deathbed. It’s even worse for Flynn because his last memory of his father is even worse than walt’s; one where he sees him as a monster who kills people for money and power, who doesn’t really care about his family. That memory, and this phone call will be the last thing he’ll ever remember about Walt, and no matter how many people will remind him of the good times they’ll have together, that’s the only way he’ll see him, which is exactly what Walt feared the most about him.
Its the twistedness of the ending. Walt got everything he wanted (his family will get the money, Jesse is free, all his enemies are dead, he will be rememberd as the pretty great criminal he was), but he also got everything he didnt want: mainly his family destroyed and their hate towards him.
You're absolutely right about this. Walter Jr. was always a one-dimensional potty-mouth, never far away from adolescent angst. I think his character would've been stronger if, at this moment, he had calmly and soberly reminded Walt of that conversation, and told him bluntly what he would remember of his father.
@@jimslancioi mean, yeah, but hes also a heavily traumatized 16 year old kid interrupted in the middle of school being called out of the blue by his estranged father who tried to kill his mom and is a wanted fugitive due to being a drug kingpin. i doubt most peoplein that situation would have had the wherewithal to come up with the most devastating possible insult, especially since his condition makes it hard to get words out to begin with & walt keeps interrupting him anyway. "just die already" i think works well enough.
this part genuinely almost had me in tears. imagine living almost completely isolated from any human contact for months, while your days are ticking down with a sickness creeping up on you, and finally you manage to briefly get ahold of your son on the phone for the first time in months. bryan cranston really sold it here with his preformance, it felt real as a show can get
The man ruined countless lives to pursue being something that no one that cared for him ever truly asked him to be except for himself in his darkest, most egotistical moments. We all sometimes want to be great and remembered by strangers when we're gone but, for those that take the time to know you and love you, they just want you to be there. Walter didn't want to be that. He thought he was too good for that.
Walter spends the whole series smooth talking and manipulating everyone around him, seeing him broken and at a loss of words while his son berates him is just tragic
This is the moment Walter died. You even hear him say “Please don’t let this be for nothing.” Which it was. His son doesn’t want anything to do with him, and the money is worthless to him. Walter failed so miserably. 10/10
I like to imagine that Walt sent the money anyway, but Walt jr didn’t tell Lewis, so Lewis was just chilling one day and got $100,000 in the post, and used that to start his own meth empire, becoming a neo Gustavo fring, but not making the same mistakes as our beloved pollo man and living a life of unimaginable success, all under the nose of the new head of the DEA, holly white
The ironic part is that Walts cancer recedes and he easily makes his goal of getting his money. He makes way more than 747k, but by the time he achieved his goal, he was the greedy kingpin who wouldn’t give up the power he got
Yeah, the whole show is about Walter being able to turn back to the right path and choosing not to. At the first season, Elliot offers him to work again in Grey Matter, which would have made him millionaire legally, he could have worked three months for Gus and be done with the stuff, and in the last season, he had the chance to sell his meth to the gang, as Jesse and Mike told him to. Walter's ego was always there to make him make the wrong call
@@theartillery9724 he was jealous because the girl he likes got stolen by the same team that created grey matter. and he moved on and run away. his ego to not join the team again is why he didnt make the right decision. he didnt deny out of nowhere but for a reason, jealousy which what he really good at
@@iAlbzGaming Wasn't it more his pride that got in the way? Walter had been screwed over by Elliot, he probably felt like the job was little more than a hand-out.
I believe Walt tells Jesse that he had achieved his goal of making sure his family was provided for when he made his first deal with Gus and delivered the meth while Jesse and Jane were high on heroin.
"This all can't be for nothing" Such a disheartening line when he realizes all the work he put in and lives he destroyed were for nothing. He couldn't even accomplish his original goal of providing for his family after his passing. At least he was able to free Jessie and avenge Hank . He could have at least told Walt Jr who killed Hank. His son would have still hated him but at least he wouldn't think he did that.
@@RagnarokMic the money can do so much for them. They are Literaly scarred and destroyed for life. Providing for them not only means money but being there for the children and helping them. Walt failed at that miserably.
In Breaking Bad 2 Flynn Is King - Walt Jr. reclaims the meth Empire his father built and becomes legendary. First thing he does with his newfound wealth is hire help to prepare him a breakfast buffet every day.
I am toying with a little short story, in which his daughter is now Jessie's age and jessie is wants age, she finds out who her dad really was and well like father like daughter...
This is so sad. Walter Jr is hoping to hear some apology or explanation from his dad. After all he is still family. But Walt talks about money instead, and that just tips Jr over the edge.
Walt still cares for his family but yeah he should've told the truth on what happened to Schrader and say that he was abducted by Jack and his gang and that's what got Hank killed.
I'm glad that Walter Jr. finally recognised how much his mother suffered because of his father. I always felt so bad for Skyler because her son was so hostile towards her, as he didn't know the real reason for his parents' marriage going sour, but Skyler just had to suck it up as she couldn't tell Walter Jr. the truth.
This scene embodies so much despair. Walt, trying desperately to make anything out of the mess his life became, the things he did, and the lives he ruined. One of the only people he loved for, truly, at that point, would not accept hi, or even anything he would give him. At this point he lost everything, completely
The most important thing I gathered from this is that he didn't try to stop Flynn from thinking he killed Hank, he just kept pushing the money more which only further fueled Flynn's rage.
there's all the jokes abt walter jr/flynn and breakfast n everything but like.. dude was just living. he blamed his mum and sided on his dad's side without realising the half of what skyler was going through and dealing with. after it's found out, i think you can tell that flynn has a new appreciation for skyler. man i love this show.
@@generalape3965 he believes that his dad is in the wrong and rightfully so, he pretty much got abandoned throughout the story and had to deal with his parents fighting LITERALLY , and I can’t imagine that it’s very easy to get over your uncles death that is believed to have happened thanks to Walter which is just true
No it isn't. Walter's evil isn't nuanced. It's just greed and ego and pride. What it DOES do a great job of showing is how evil people justify their evil to themselves, and the people around them, and how manipulative they are. The show is written so well that a lot of the fans STILL empathise and sympathise with Walter White - one of the most evil characters ever put to screen.
@@DLTyrus People empathise with him not because the show is written so well, though it is, it’s because he’s human. Everyone evil is still recognisable as a human being. It’s an inconvenient truth.
Fun fact: to make the scene more real for the actors, vince actually had bryan cranston (walter white) kill dean norris (uncle hank) who had a strong relationship with RJ Mitte (Flynn). After RJ got the news Dean died, they shot the scene
it was heartbreaking how Walt was listening to his son’s scorn making it clear they he despises him greatly. also when Walt was watching him walk to his new home. Walt could tell that Jr was not happy about his new home/lifestyle and being watched by cops only exacerbates it. some people say that Walt never particularly liked his son because of his disability but I don’t think that's true Walt liked Jr no matter what i mean Walt entered the crime world to support him before he dies and tried to complete that goal when he came back, he even looked hurt for a while to hear how much he despises him and seeing how he was living made him sadder. he just either liked Jesse more than him and probably Holly or his creation of blue sky more than either one of them
It's possible to love somebody and not necessarily "like" them in terms of not being particularly well suited to them. I think this is particularly common between parents and their children as well as between siblings as obviously there isn't any choice involved. Case and point; if Walt and Walt Jr. were not father and son, I doubt they'd choose to spend time with one another due to not really having much in common. Contrast this to Jesse who Walt shares far more chemistry with (pun fully intended) and who Walt chose to maintain an association with, as fraught as that association was. Holly isn't really as relevant as she's still a baby at the end of the show, there isn't really anything to like or dislike about a baby as they've yet to develop an individual personality.
I have never, in thousands of comments and conversations heard that Walt "doesn't like" Walter Jr. What makes anyone think that? They had a normal father-son relationship
@@pelpo1238 They don't, it's not normal. My time of watching Breaking Bad is in a haze but there are particular moments in the show that I remember the feeling of Walt being disappointed cause his son wasn't normal. We should rewatch it. Walter was not a good father, per se, he just did what he had to do. but did he hate his son ? I think not. He doesn't despise his son he despised the life he lived. It was too mundane for him.
Walt's relationship with his son is another area of his life where his Walt/Heisenberg personalities clash. On the one hand he clearly loves his son and this is seen throughout the series, but at the same time his son's disability and the fact he gets bullied because of it is just another bruise on Heisenberg's ego; a reminder that he and his family are somewhat 'inadequate' compared with the lives of Walt's former peers. Walt rarely spends much time with his son throughout the series, and I think it's clear that Jesse really becomes the son Walt never had, someone who Walt becomes far closer to by the end.
Honestly the pain in juniors voice is hard to hear. but when I picture myslef in walts shoes and hearing my own son tell me i should die is heartwrenching. Even though Walt has turned into a horrible ruthless person it still makes me sad.
Imagine your dad kills your uncle, and throws away the last years in life he has with you in pursuit of his ego and the very last thing he says to you is more about his bs justification for doing it. Yea I’d be pissed too.
The entire show and final season were just immaculate and this scene especially! I really felt like could feel my own heart breaking with them. Definitely one of my favorites scenes ❤️
@@Dragonfury3000 exactly lol. Whether or not Walt pulled the trigger is irrelevant, it was all because of him.Jr getting the full truth would’ve actually made Walt Jr even angrier
@@timstradley5819 Uncle Hank had an ego of his own, and that's what got him killed. If he had informed the DEA of his suspicions instead of going rogue to protect his public image, he could've arrested Walt and lived to tell the tale.
@@someoneelse4811 idk how you can explain Hank being responsible for his own death when Jack was only there because of walt. Whether or not he tried to call it off doesn’t matter
Quite deep if you think about it. He's lost everything by becoming fixated on being a man that provides for his family. So much so that his family hate him and it all was for nothing. That's why Walt is so upset. There is no going back, his life is over and it was all for NOTHING.

You gotta feel sorry for Walter Jr. He spends about 95% of this show having virtually no idea what's going on, then one day he comes home from school and is told his uncle is dead and his father is a criminal. Then he sees his father and mother physically fighting and he has to restrain his father.
His whole life was basically turned upside down in literal hours.
Not really, he knew something was wrong from the beginning -- the lies just kept getting less and less plausible.
Naaaa, I would say it was a slow process starting from when walt and skyler seperated.
@@reallyhappenings5597 False. Did you even watch the show? He didn’t know.
No
He spend 95% of the show eating breakfast
I think the fact that Flynn was listening, willing to hear his father out meant Walter could’ve said the right things. A damned apology, an explanation about what really happened to Hank or something other then cash would’ve gone a long way. When Flynn realized it was still all about money he became fed up.
Worst part is this is the last conversation Flynn has. And further damage is done by that. He has to live knowing the last things he said to his father were “I hope you die.”
I think at this point they also thought that Walt mightve died or even committed suicide, and hearing confirmation of him being alive (And not changing one damn bit) just made Flynn struggle with the lack of closure even more.
"Just die! Why are you still alive!?"
He wants Walt dead so they can finally move on
Great analysis of both of you.
*Walter Jr
That might be the morale of the show. His final converation was like his cancer death sentence. He ended up focusing on the wrong things, he lived his life in regret and he thought the money could make up for it, but the most important thing was his family, which he destroyed.

@@hawk66100 Yes he did. If Hank would have just died peacefully without becoming this insane drug lord, his family would have stayed together.
It’s so heartbreaking, Walt’s worst fear came true. The only real memory Walt had of his father was during his fathers final days, dying in the hospital bed, not even recognizing his own son. No matter how many stories young Walt was told about his Fathers personality, philosophy, and interests, the truth was he only ever remembered those final days with him. His father was only as good as his most recent memory of him. And Walt desperately wishes that when he’s gone his son won’t remember him on how he acted in his final months, but that’s exactly what happens. Walt was a near perfect father to Junior for 16 years, however when he learns the truth about Walt his entire attitude towards him changes. He hates his father. Those 16 years were irrelevant, Walt was only as good as Junior’s most recent memory of him, which was him as an evil man and criminal. Going forward, whenever Junior thinks about his father he probably won’t think about the kindhearted man that Walt was for most of his life, but the man who made his whole family suffer. “Just die already! Just die!” It’s truly a tragedy, just so sad
Well said.
I never thought about it that way and that just makes me appreciate Walter Jr's inclusion in the story even more.
I can tell you from experience that you will eventually forgive your father for almost anything once you become old enough to figure out that you are not perfect either. You will only need to feel the regret of not forgiving and reciprocating love to a parent or family member once and then it will change you forever.
@@panthersblow yes I to will forgive me father for becoming americas greatest drug kingpin, for killing my uncle who I loved dearly, and completely tearing my family apart
@@Frostieyyy you clearly didnt understand the point, or really understand what caused Walt to become absorbed in that lifestyle to begin with. Im not making excuses for drug dealers or murderers. Simply using that clip to make a point about forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes. My father saved hundreds of lives as a surgeon. He also tore my family apart by cheating on my mom, even when my mom was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. In the end his guilt lead to alchohol and prescription drug abuse until he finally passed from advanced dementia and a bad fall. I resented him for half my life, regardless of all the support he gave me(which was a lot), because of what he did to my mom and what he became. Now that he is gone, that feels almost as selfish at what I was mad at him for. In Walts case, he started as a good man with good intentions and found out he was dying and had no way to provide for the family he loved and was willing to do whatever it took to provide for them. He did it the only way he could think to do it and became absorbed in it. He didnt kill Frank, his decisions got Frank killed. Its a sad ending, but it happens often for different reasons. Once a person is gone, there is no opportunity for understanding and forgiveness and that can really weigh on a persons conscience and never go away.

@@Edison_Trent 100% agreed. I respect and agree with people who think Walt is a well-written character, but why people sympathise with him and say he is a good person is beyond me.
There is not a single person in the show whose life wasn’t ruined by Walt, he is one of, if not the most, evil fictional characters I’ve ever seen in my life. He was greedy, egoistic, selfish, ruthless, and EXTREMELY manipulative. I stopped rooting for him only like 15 episodes into the show and seeing scenes like this was extremely satisfying.
@@SalvageET Yes, my thoughts exactly. A good character and a well-written character can absolutely be two different things. It's nice to see people able to recognize it. Walt is an amazingly-written character, played by a brilliant actor. But that doesn't make Walt, the character, good.
@@SalvageET And people make tatoo of his face... unbelieveable
Walt did nothing wrong. His family was stupid and should have just taken the money.
I’m not a father but hear from a son that hates you has to be one of the worst pain a human being can feel
When you are explicitly 100% of the reason for it and show little to no remorse for it... why pity that person? Evil should be hated not loved. Some people deserve to die. Walt was one of those people

“It can’t be all for nothing” damn one of the most important lines of the show. Walt really is like the protagonist of a Shakespearean tragedy. His ego was his fatal flaw and he spent all that time destroying himself and those around him and all for nothing. His family despises him, he left his former partner for dead, he is left with a huge pile of money and nothing to do with it
bravo vince
it's a real "My kingdom for a horse!" moment
I noticed a lot of people compared him to Macbeth and I realized the reason for that is for the themes of masculinity and self-fufilljng prophecies
This is what breaks me about Walt's character and the progression of his story. He built a whole empire and wanted more because of his ego, just for all of it to come crashing down with him in the end. He finally had it all, then broke his entire family apart in the process. All that money he earned died with him. All for nothing.
He admitted what it was about when he rejected 5 million in search of a billion pound empire. Their success made him feel powerless all his life and he chose that battle over his families needs. Walter got consumed by heinsenberg
I just realized that at both the start and end of the show Walt Jr. tells walter he should die. Nothing changed
He always wanted to become the man in the family to live happily with Skyler.

Flynn was old enough to put it all together, and the cerebral palsy isn't an excuse.

At the end of the day, yes, it turned into something he was doing for himself, but he was still ready to pass that money along to him family.
Turning down the money was absolutely heartbreaking to watch.

@@gap_tooth I disagree, I think that if my father had done this the last thing I’d want would be for all that hard work to go to waste, it’s a shame to watch a man lose his way in the momentum of power but do I recall him ever taking his hand to the boy? Or skyler? He made a mistake that led to hanks death but was not the one who actually killed him in fact he WAS trying to save him, if Walt Jr understood that maybe he’d have taken the money
@@gap_tooth I’m not sure what this says about me but I don’t think my father killing a hundred men would stop me from sitting down to eat with him
"It can't all be for nothing" That look on Walt's face when he realises that everything he's done was for nothing. It's the true moment that Walt realised that everything he's done was actually for himself and that in fact he destroyed his family and his relationship with it.
Truly a Vincent Bravo moment
It wasn't all for nothing though since he still got Elliot to agree to give his family the money.
@@HandlesSuck123 Of course it wasn't for nothing in the end. I'm referring to the look in Walt's face upon his primary realization. He indeed, later come up with a plan as you've mentioned and therefore all of his actions had a benefit in the end.
Well, in the eyes of his family, his actions would have looked like it was for nothing since Skyler and Walt Jr made it clear they didn't want a single cent of his ill-gotten gains, and even if they did, the feds would've taken all his money. He had to force Gretchen and Elliot to give his son his money to make it look like an act of charity from them.
Like Cancer wouldn't have done that anyway.
Hearing Walter Jr. tell his father to "just die already" is sad on its own, but what makes it even more sad is when you compare it to the similar line said by him in season 1. The first time we hear him say this it's pretty obvious that it's out of frustration stemming from the fact that he feels his father is ready to throw in the towel, whereas in this scene it's more of a direct "just give up you deserve to be dead."
Wow I didn't figure that out before. Both of these scenes have exactly opposite connotations. With the first scene he _doesn't_ want him to give up on life.
Skyler hoped the cancer came back, Hank told him to rot, Marie told him to kill himself, and Walt jr wanted him to just die. Everyone in his family hates him
@@bajorekjon yeah and walt has no one but himself to blame for it.
RJ Mitte was the actual age that Flynn would've been during Breaking Bad's events, and despite being so young and having a disability, he played his role amazingly.

@@joshuakennedy7359 Wtf do you think cerebral palsy is?
It just occurred to me that Walt's last phone conversation with Skyler came off as a confession for Hank's murder, so obviously Walt Jr thought it was actually by his dad's hand directly.
it would've been understandable if he literally didn't hear walt scream at the top of his lungs in desperation "I tried to save him!". What bothers me the most about that last phone conversation was the lack of skepticism around it. Walt jr didn't even bother to ask walt what happened that day (sure walt is a pathological liar but he didn't even sound like he was lying when he told them that he tried to prevent hank from getting killed). The police didn't even notice how skyler went from demanding Holly back to pleading for her back and to come home after he literally acted like he killed hank in front of the police in that call.

This is the moment when Walt is walking on the fine line between "I did it for the family" and "I did it for me".
You can hear his desperation when he says "It can't all be for nothing"; he says that because a part of him still wants to believe that every crime he committed, every death he caused, was still, at least kind-of, for his wife and children.
The end of the call, after the total rejection by Walt Jr., that's the exact moment he totally embraces the fact that he did all that for himself.
Family's either dead or rejecting of him, so he has no option but convince himself that there was no intention of doing it for the family, he did everything just for himself.
I feel like it started out as 90% for his family, and 10% for him, but as he increasingly embraces the life of crime and rejects help from Gretchen and Elliot it becomes far more for him and those numbers flip by the time halfway through season 3 he has "Sold his soul" if you will.
thats an intersting take, at that point it HAD to be just for him if he did it for his family and they hate him, then walts failed and at that point the goalpost in his mind moves from family to himself
@@kaneriseley3124 Yup
i dont think he really convinced himself that it was all for himself either.....after all he hardly really did anything for himself with that money anyway.

Its so crazy how the story ends with Walt threatening Elliot to give his family money, when in the beginning he was too proud to take it when freely offered. Story comes full circle
Yeah, it had to because that couple, especially Gretchen, is the whole reason why Walt is so beaten down by the time Breaking Bad starts. And it starts even before the Elliot birthday party that Walt didn't want to go to. The flashbacks of confident young Walt on the chalkboard with Gretchen with him before Gretchen instead gets with Elliot, breaking Walt's heart and causing him to leave for $5000 while they make hundreds of millions of $$$ on the ideas Walt came up with solely. That's why he hates Elliot and Gretchen so much, because one was his friend, one was his love, and to Walt, they betrayed him by getting together. So it was poetic justice for Walt to force those two to be his instrument into tricking Flynn and Skyler into accepting Walt's money for Flynn and Holly.
Basically Walt wins, he does everything his way, he avenges and executes all the operations his way including dying by his own bullet.
@@Rorschachqp So winning is getting your brother in law killed and completely destroying your family? or the dozens of innocents he got killed?, He didn't win, he literally dies with his family hating him, sure he's set them up for the future, but at what cost? life long trauma?. The entire reason Walt left Grey Matter was because he felt inferior to Gretchen, it is nowhere hinted that she cheated on him. He left her after meeting her family and discovering they were wealthy. Even if she had cheated on him, leaving grey matter was still his choice. It was shown throughout the story that Walt lets his Pride and ego get the best of him. The main cause of the majority of his problems is his pride.
@@Rorschachqp You got that part of the story wrong. Walt broke up with Gretchen.
@@31redorange08 Nope. Often times the hurt party is the one that initiates the break up.
@@Rorschachqp Again. You got that wrong. Elliot didn't have anything to do with Walt breaking up with Gretchen.
I never noticed that Walt says "It can't all be for nothing!" Whilst Jr is yelling. Really makes the whole ending seem that much sadder
Exactly- it also shows the gap of understanding between them in that moment- Walt tried so hard for so long to get money for his treatment and family. Now the money for his family is all he has left.
Walt doesn't try to apologize, or anything- because in his mind he was responsible for Hank's death. What Jr is saying is true. He did choose to do bad things and he needs some good to come out of it.
To Jr, his father's a criminal who killed his uncle and all he says is he wants to send drug money.
Walt had drifted so far away from his son by that point
Really shows you how it was always about himself, about his legacy not what the people around him actually wanted.
The moment when Walter says "It can't be all for nothing" is so depressing, it's like you can see him desperately trying to cling to the last bit of hope that everything he did will amount to something eventually, that despite losing it all and how everything around him fell apart at least that last bit of money will go to his family to make them live comfortably after he's gone but as Flynn shuts him down, you can see the light leaving his eyes realizing that he ruined his and everyone's life around him for absolutely nothing. It's just tragic.

I think what makes this scene sadder is remembering what walt said to him in an earlier episode.
Walt tells Flynn that he only had one memory of his father, which was the last time he ever saw him, and that no matter how much people would tell Walt about him, he’d still only have one person he’d imagine his father to be: a man on his deathbed.
It’s even worse for Flynn because his last memory of his father is even worse than walt’s; one where he sees him as a monster who kills people for money and power, who doesn’t really care about his family. That memory, and this phone call will be the last thing he’ll ever remember about Walt, and no matter how many people will remind him of the good times they’ll have together, that’s the only way he’ll see him, which is exactly what Walt feared the most about him.
Its the twistedness of the ending. Walt got everything he wanted (his family will get the money, Jesse is free, all his enemies are dead, he will be rememberd as the pretty great criminal he was), but he also got everything he didnt want: mainly his family destroyed and their hate towards him.
You're absolutely right about this.
Walter Jr. was always a one-dimensional potty-mouth, never far away from adolescent angst. I think his character would've been stronger if, at this moment, he had calmly and soberly reminded Walt of that conversation, and told him bluntly what he would remember of his father.
@@jimslancioi mean, yeah, but hes also a heavily traumatized 16 year old kid interrupted in the middle of school being called out of the blue by his estranged father who tried to kill his mom and is a wanted fugitive due to being a drug kingpin. i doubt most peoplein that situation would have had the wherewithal to come up with the most devastating possible insult, especially since his condition makes it hard to get words out to begin with & walt keeps interrupting him anyway. "just die already" i think works well enough.
this part genuinely almost had me in tears. imagine living almost completely isolated from any human contact for months, while your days are ticking down with a sickness creeping up on you, and finally you manage to briefly get ahold of your son on the phone for the first time in months.
bryan cranston really sold it here with his preformance, it felt real as a show can get
The man ruined countless lives to pursue being something that no one that cared for him ever truly asked him to be except for himself in his darkest, most egotistical moments. We all sometimes want to be great and remembered by strangers when we're gone but, for those that take the time to know you and love you, they just want you to be there.
Walter didn't want to be that. He thought he was too good for that.
Walter spends the whole series smooth talking and manipulating everyone around him, seeing him broken and at a loss of words while his son berates him is just tragic
Jr was a terrible person.
with that money they could have make a new hank

This is the moment Walter died. You even hear him say “Please don’t let this be for nothing.” Which it was. His son doesn’t want anything to do with him, and the money is worthless to him. Walter failed so miserably. 10/10
I like to imagine that Walt sent the money anyway, but Walt jr didn’t tell Lewis, so Lewis was just chilling one day and got $100,000 in the post, and used that to start his own meth empire, becoming a neo Gustavo fring, but not making the same mistakes as our beloved pollo man and living a life of unimaginable success, all under the nose of the new head of the DEA, holly white
Not a bad idea
Awesome!

Damn that's pretty cool! I wanna see Holly grew up to be Holly White - head of DEA! Can Vince write about this??

Let there be Breakfast.
this scene is even more sad when you realize this is the last conversation he had with his son.
The ironic part is that Walts cancer recedes and he easily makes his goal of getting his money. He makes way more than 747k, but by the time he achieved his goal, he was the greedy kingpin who wouldn’t give up the power he got
Yeah, the whole show is about Walter being able to turn back to the right path and choosing not to. At the first season, Elliot offers him to work again in Grey Matter, which would have made him millionaire legally, he could have worked three months for Gus and be done with the stuff, and in the last season, he had the chance to sell his meth to the gang, as Jesse and Mike told him to. Walter's ego was always there to make him make the wrong call
@@theartillery9724 he was jealous because the girl he likes got stolen by the same team that created grey matter. and he moved on and run away. his ego to not join the team again is why he didnt make the right decision. he didnt deny out of nowhere but for a reason, jealousy which what he really good at
@@iAlbzGaming Wasn't it more his pride that got in the way? Walter had been screwed over by Elliot, he probably felt like the job was little more than a hand-out.
I believe Walt tells Jesse that he had achieved his goal of making sure his family was provided for when he made his first deal with Gus and delivered the meth while Jesse and Jane were high on heroin.
*737k
The look on Jrs face, there was still a part of him that still loved his Father, But Hank's Death and the Incident With his Mom got the Best of him
I was happy to see him take his moms side cause Walt just manipulated literally everyone
I think it was partially because there was no apology or explanation, to Flynn it probably just felt like more manipulation and lies, all about money
"Look at the little Walter JR
Gonna cry?" 😂
I understood that reference 😂 😂
That was great 😁.
I’m gonna kick some meth in your eye.
I missed the part where that's my meth.
With great meth comes great responsibility.
"This all can't be for nothing"
Such a disheartening line when he realizes all the work he put in and lives he destroyed were for nothing. He couldn't even accomplish his original goal of providing for his family after his passing. At least he was able to free Jessie and avenge Hank
.
He could have at least told Walt Jr who killed Hank. His son would have still hated him but at least he wouldn't think he did that.
He did set it up for his kids to get a ton of money and not know it was from him, his old business partners.
It wasn't for nothing it was for himself.
He kind of provided through Gretchen and Elliot
@@TheImperfectHarmony no it wasn’t
@@RagnarokMic the money can do so much for them. They are Literaly scarred and destroyed for life. Providing for them not only means money but being there for the children and helping them. Walt failed at that miserably.

I wouldve been pissed that my own father didn't include me in his illegal business.
Irk? Walt Jr. Was such a dingus
This is so sad. Walter Jr is hoping to hear some apology or explanation from his dad. After all he is still family. But Walt talks about money instead, and that just tips Jr over the edge.
Walt still cares for his family but yeah he should've told the truth on what happened to Schrader and say that he was abducted by Jack and his gang and that's what got Hank killed.
Walter Jr didn't get breakfast that day
I'm glad that Walter Jr. finally recognised how much his mother suffered because of his father. I always felt so bad for Skyler because her son was so hostile towards her, as he didn't know the real reason for his parents' marriage going sour, but Skyler just had to suck it up as she couldn't tell Walter Jr. the truth.
That's where she messed up. She should have told the truth. She's part of the reason things turned out like they did.
Nah she was the biggest villain in the entire show
Skyler wasn't innocent. Skyler was EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
This scene embodies so much despair. Walt, trying desperately to make anything out of the mess his life became, the things he did, and the lives he ruined. One of the only people he loved for, truly, at that point, would not accept hi, or even anything he would give him. At this point he lost everything, completely
As he should.

The most important thing I gathered from this is that he didn't try to stop Flynn from thinking he killed Hank, he just kept pushing the money more which only further fueled Flynn's rage.
I mean he didn't pull the trigger but he did get hank killed through his actions
there's all the jokes abt walter jr/flynn and breakfast n everything but like.. dude was just living. he blamed his mum and sided on his dad's side without realising the half of what skyler was going through and dealing with. after it's found out, i think you can tell that flynn has a new appreciation for skyler. man i love this show.

Breaking bad is a perfect display of how nuanced evil can be.
Reminds me of a Robot Chicken line.
"Real world evil is just a heightened narcissism."
No it isn't. Walter's evil isn't nuanced. It's just greed and ego and pride. What it DOES do a great job of showing is how evil people justify their evil to themselves, and the people around them, and how manipulative they are. The show is written so well that a lot of the fans STILL empathise and sympathise with Walter White - one of the most evil characters ever put to screen.
@@DLTyrus People empathise with him not because the show is written so well, though it is, it’s because he’s human. Everyone evil is still recognisable as a human being. It’s an inconvenient truth.

Me trying to genuinely call Dominos after prank calling them 5 times: 2:02
it was heartbreaking how Walt was listening to his son’s scorn making it clear they he despises him greatly. also when Walt was watching him walk to his new home. Walt could tell that Jr was not happy about his new home/lifestyle and being watched by cops only exacerbates it. some people say that Walt never particularly liked his son because of his disability but I don’t think that's true Walt liked Jr no matter what i mean Walt entered the crime world to support him before he dies and tried to complete that goal when he came back, he even looked hurt for a while to hear how much he despises him and seeing how he was living made him sadder. he just either liked Jesse more than him and probably Holly or his creation of blue sky more than either one of them
It's possible to love somebody and not necessarily "like" them in terms of not being particularly well suited to them. I think this is particularly common between parents and their children as well as between siblings as obviously there isn't any choice involved. Case and point; if Walt and Walt Jr. were not father and son, I doubt they'd choose to spend time with one another due to not really having much in common. Contrast this to Jesse who Walt shares far more chemistry with (pun fully intended) and who Walt chose to maintain an association with, as fraught as that association was. Holly isn't really as relevant as she's still a baby at the end of the show, there isn't really anything to like or dislike about a baby as they've yet to develop an individual personality.
I have never, in thousands of comments and conversations heard that Walt "doesn't like" Walter Jr. What makes anyone think that? They had a normal father-son relationship
@@pelpo1238 They don't, it's not normal. My time of watching Breaking Bad is in a haze but there are particular moments in the show that I remember the feeling of Walt being disappointed cause his son wasn't normal. We should rewatch it. Walter was not a good father, per se, he just did what he had to do. but did he hate his son ? I think not. He doesn't despise his son he despised the life he lived. It was too mundane for him.
@@kucharakun3248 can you name me one specific moment? Because I genuinely can't think of one
Walt's relationship with his son is another area of his life where his Walt/Heisenberg personalities clash. On the one hand he clearly loves his son and this is seen throughout the series, but at the same time his son's disability and the fact he gets bullied because of it is just another bruise on Heisenberg's ego; a reminder that he and his family are somewhat 'inadequate' compared with the lives of Walt's former peers.
Walt rarely spends much time with his son throughout the series, and I think it's clear that Jesse really becomes the son Walt never had, someone who Walt becomes far closer to by the end.
This is one of the very few shows (if not the only one) where the last season was just as good, if not better, than the prior ones.

Quite deep if you think about it. He's lost everything by becoming fixated on being a man that provides for his family. So much so that his family hate him and it all was for nothing. That's why Walt is so upset. There is no going back, his life is over and it was all for NOTHING.
