Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Todd was actually an ideal partner for Walt to have in a criminal enterprise. Has absolutely no moral compass and will do anything you tell him to without question. Also was a fairly quick learner.
He's a quick learner but he lacks the curiosity to ever master the subject. As demonstrated by the fact that Todd never got even close to Jesse's skill with cooking the blue.
@@hamsterfromabove8905he didn't do it together with Walter as long as Jesse though. Not saying he would make it as pure but what I mean is, it isn't a fair comparison
@@penske_material 74% is still pretty impressive for a total amateur
No, because Walt wouldn't be able to control him.
It's the same problem he had with Gale.
@@Orcawhale1 I think the biggest concern of partnering with Todd would be the possibility of his Uncle Jack eventually trying to force Walt out of the equation, kind of like what Gus tried with Gale.
Just because you shot Mike Ehrmantraut, doesn’t make you Mike Ehrmantraut.
Fake news! He went on a vacation in Belize.
It does really
@@AuschwitzSoccerRef. Why so seriously? Also Walt started acting a bit like Mike in the last episodes, so that's why I'm saying it.
Yeah? Why?
@@AuschwitzSoccerRef.here aren't any other qualifications for being european, so yes - in contrast to the analogy here. a european is just somebody who lives in europe.
I love all Todd’s awkward attempts to connect with people. Like randomly mentioning how cool it is the car gets crushed into a cube.
It plays into him being a (literal) psychopath. He doesn’t understand or empathize with people so he has a hard time conversing
Been said before, hes the best on-screen psychopath. Comes off as normal and even kind/gentle. But its not because he understands emphathy, but rather the complete inability to feel it.
@@KoOkiEzRoCkz One guy I know argued he's not the best on screen psychopath since supposedly they do care about people close to them, just not others outside their circle. He argued that Jaime from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones is a better depiction of one. I don't know if this is true, but it's an interesting take.
But todd does care about his uncle, about walt and about lydia, so he cares about people close to him
@@darksideofevil13 your friend makes a good point! But like the other guy in this thread noted, Todd DOES care for Lydia, Uncle Jack and even Walt etc,
And with that, the last remnants of Gustavo Fring's empire vanished without a trace.
Plot twist : Lyle...
I’d argue the last remnant was when Lydia died
Saul was the last one
@@jamesbeck3027Saul had nothing to do with Gus, but was in bed with Walt the whole time. He didn’t even know Gus was the guy Mike knew to get Walt through to him.
@@AltezzaGang15he didn’t know but Saul was critical to the success of his rise without Saul Gus would have died before Walter because of the issue with the salamancas feud
It’s so weird to see Mike, who could traverse so easily in the criminal world, be a dead body that needed cleaning up…
It goes to show how Walter broke the system. He didn't improve the underworld, he didn't even serve the moral good by disrupting the underworld, all he did was make the world worse for his pride. It all amounts to a bunch of broken families, dead bodies, and gang wars.
That’s how most of them end up
Murphys law says it was bound to happen eventually
He took a half measure
I think that's the point is that in this world no one is on top for ever. Even big fish eventually get picked apart by crabs at the bottom of the ocean. Jesse was the only one who made it out. Maybe you could say Saul did too, but to a lesser extent.
Mike's ending was sad but he was in the game regardless if he had a moral code. To quote Papa Varga, Mike was no different or better than the Salamancas, Gus, or Walt.
I wouldn't defend mike because of his body count. But mike isn't at walts level of evil or even gus or lalo. He is still by all accounts a bad guy.
But papa vargas point is that criminals are the same and mike wants revenge not justice
Nice point of view
He was better, a lot better.
He just got killed, that's it.
@@elkevinskiGus was better. He built school and do charities.
He got killed for no reason
I love how Todd in El Camino says "I don't wanna talk about it" to Jesse when he shows him the body of his cleaning lady. Walter at this point was no different from Todd
you got it wrong.
This deserves more likes
None of them were really. They all would claim to be much more morally superior than Todd is but he’s merely a reflection of them
It was more like Todd thinking this is what you're supposed to say in that situation, so he learned it from Walt and said it to Jesse. Todd doesn't know how to connect to people, so it's obvious he doesn't know what to say in certain situations.
Never noticed that connection but has to be intentional
It's such a shame they had to melt the perfect wax model of Mike that he left behind before leaving for Gotham
PENGUIN IS MIKE ERMENTROUT?????!!!!!!!!!!!
@@evsicles No no, Commissioner Gordon
He was Gordon in Arkham Knight
Walt with the "He's gone" and Jessie just accepts it at face value, such a great show.
He saw no reason for Walt to kill Mike so when he says “he’s gone” of course he doesn’t think to deeply about it and moves on from that part of the conversation
@@guren9193 If he didn't suspect before then he definitely did after the prison shankings.
Most chilling part of this scene is that when he tells Jesse that Mike is gone…he’s not lying
Todd is such a psychopath, he wouldn't mind if Walt shot a random infant on a street and yet Walter felt the need to lie to Todd by saying "It had to be done".
@@davesnothere. Please don't bring up politics when it's irrelevant
@@Trident_Gaming03Why not if it’s true?
@@hoggerguy2151That’s the problem: it isn’t true.
@@Trident_Gaming03 Until recent years, I've never seen so many people turn non-political discussions political. The obsession is so bizarre; it's like they can't help themselves.
@@PauliesWalnuts Prove it
Jesse was the only one who didn’t underestimate Walt, so he’s the only one to survive
"Mr White, He's the devil, He is smarter than you, He is luckier than you..." -Jesse Pinkman
@@Jasonwithadot , I was waiting for that comment!
Well him and Saul.
I think it's partly because he spent the most time with him.
He still sold him to Jack
He just got lucky. He would've died in the desert if Todd hadn't interviened
Jesse: What's the story? You get to Mike?
Walt: *Don't say he's in the trunk, don't say he's in the trunk. Say he's... not in the trunk?*
"So, how do you imagine yourself in 5 years?"
"Don't say doing your wife, don't say doing your wife..."
- Doing your... son?
lol 😂
@@Stoireliuslmao 😂😂😂😂
Rest in peace, Mike. You'll always be my favorite Finger.
🤨
why is mike finger?
@@frankwest510 because he fingered us all deeply with his passing.
@@frankwest510Because Waltuh did not put his dick away
Please NYS with this old meme already
Funny how Walt thinks he needs to explain and justify his actions to a total psychopath who doesn't care at all.
Probably did it simply for himself
He was rationalizing it to himself
He's starting to consider Todd another surrogate son.
Calling todd a total psychopath only makes you look soft todd is a reliable henchman thats all
He is a psychopath though. He has no sense of right an wrong, no compassion, no emotions etc. When Walt gunned down his uncle and the gang -Todd didnt even care. @@AY-qy4jn
The power shift of Todd and Lydia from this to the last few episodes is insane
Also crazy that more time passed in season 5 than the entire show up to that point.
@@NabberDog That's not more crazy.
@@mkultra2456 good job with that reading comprehension.
@@kindaepicngl1671 It's still not more crazy
@@mkultra2456 Try again.
He didn’t even lie to Jesse, all he said was “he’s gone.”
technically
He wasn't gone though, he was right next to them.
@@returnoftheredeye gone meaning dead
It’s painful to think that mike went through all of bcs and breaking bad just to end up in a barrel
Edit: most people are missing the point of this comment. I’m saying how it’s compelling that mike went from surviving every instance and retiring on top, to human sludge in the matter of 6 hours. That’s all. Not justifying mikes crimes. And it’s a great end for his character. But what I’m supposed to want mike and their operation to get busted lol. It’s fiction I’m gonna root for the badass criminals lmao
And his family think he’s just abandoned them when he left kaylee in the park to run
He was in the game and to quote Papa Varga, he was no different or better than the Salamancas or Walt.
It’s fitting
Please don’t act as if he’s a good person. He killed Werner. He could have killed Nacho too in the original plan if Nacho didn’t kill himself first. He helped dissolve a kid’s body. He joined a drug business willingly.
He should've taken the words from papa Varga seriously
The body language on Walt in this scene, you can tell he's taking after Gus quite well.
An awesome character in Breaking Bad, who was turned into the best character thanks to Better Call Saul.
Actually Mike is the only character who I find is not handled well in Better Call Saul. The character jump in season 5 is too unrealistic.
@@jellybabiesarecool4657 Explain yourself
@@jellybabiesarecool4657 explain please
@@jellybabiesarecool4657explain further
@@jellybabiesarecool4657he was drinking himself to death in the beginning of season 5 due to having had to kill Werner, after being cured in Gus’s village he fully accepts that he’s now Gus’s right hand man (or at least that’s how I interpreted it)
It's sad to see Walt dissolve Mike after everything that happened, but there probably wasn't any other way Walt would have done it after what Mike said about him and his ego
Let him go?
He didnt need the pride and ego speech to kill Mike. He planned his death in the event Mike didn't cooperate with the list
@@miguelporras8366 A lot of people say that but I doubt that he was really planning to off Mike when he took the gun. He was simply considering the possibility. I really think Walt would've let him go, regardless if he cooperated or not, had Mike just left without saying a word.
@@shmoke6135 No he wasn't, Walter took the gun that he was supposed to give to Mike out of the bag and then gave it to him, he had it all planned
@@stairwaytoheaven8 I think he would have given it back and took it only as an assurance
(plus you can imagine how smug he would feel with that power move of letting Mike know he coulda done it)
Oppenheimer and Barbie has released today and we're still watching the clips of Breaking Bad.
And?
You’re god damn right!
@@JKBDTS He is trying to point out that old Breaking Bad clips are still high enough quality to be up considered up to par to even highly anticipated modern day movies.
@@WiggleJimmy Ok
Here’s your Most Pointless Comment Award 🏆
00:00 The fly returns, along with the regret of Walt. But as always, he supress it, making it seem like he doesn't care, but he does. All his victims hunt him in his head, and thus he copes by imitating them from time to time. One of the reasons why Walter White is such a great villain/protagonist.
You're goddamn right
1:25
That "Who’s we?" thing was what Jane said to Jesse when she hid their relationship from her dad. And Walt did indirectly kill her by accidentally rolling her onto her back and not saving her when she overdosed on the heroin. He copies his victims without even realizing it sometimes.
Good read
I don't think Walt cares about the people he killed. He never showed any remorse
Walt is visibly disturbed upon seeing Mike's corpse (even though he killed him), while Todd has absolutely no reaction.
Walter didn't care
@@Josama0214He did care. But at this point, his conscience is basically broken.
walt: …i don’t want to talk about thi-
Todd: Ok 👌
I wonder what Saul would think about Mike’s death, considering all of the stuff they went through together?
he did seem to struggle, hence him coming up with the "Belize" metaphore
I think if Better Call Saul was written before Breaking Bad, he'd have a lot more of a reaction
Jimmy had an unexpectedly personal relationship with Mike that while not really a friendship was beyond complicated. Mike saw Jimmy going through probably the worst experiences in his life and while disapproving of his choices chose not to lecture him and just work with him as is more often than not. Mike knew he couldn't help Jimmy and just accepted that while Jimmy as Saul managed to be both valuable but a liability at the same time--and either way, Mike couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it because he knew this was a man who was hurting and yet would never let on how much he was hurting though (at least not in Mike's own lifetime).
Iam kinda surprised we didn’t saw it as a flashback in bcs
Considering everything that happened but maybe a last heartfelt conversation was better
@@1995krampe The opening of the finale where they have the talk in the desert about what to do with a time machine, that's probably Mike's most personal moment with Jimmy. While Mike knew Jimmy's personal troubles, Jimmy never really opened up to Mike though. Mike knew what was up with Jimmy, but any advice he gave Jimmy Mike knew he wasn't receptive to though.
Mike always made sure to take full measures throughout bcs and bb only to be killed by his one half measure
Similarly, Gus repeatedly acts based on rationality rather than emotion, only to be killed the one time he lets his personal feelings get the better of him. Heck, you could even say that Jack ends up getting killed the one time he shows a little mercy and lets Walt live and keep some of the money.
He also took less than half measures when cuffed Walt with a single zip tie when they were going to sell the methilamine
RIP Finger
Now that we have BCS, it feels to me like Walt was the manifestation of all the chaos Gus and Mike had been managing to put off for so long. That makes it especially appropriate that Saul brought him into their world.
At this point the whole show is going to be on here
I love how Walt is experiencing zero stress about all this, which is the same as Todd.
It hurts to know the last major BCS character has been killed off during these events in season 5, not counting Jimmy himself. Also we'll never know Kaylee and Stacey's fates since Mike truly was doing what he was doing for his family. Only for him to end up in a barrel, as if he never existed, yet did so much.
The worst part is that it was all for nothing. His family won't get any money. His granddaughter never even got a goodbye. All she will remember is a strange grandfather that was complicit in some criminal things. Mike did it all for nothing. He died for nothing.
@@mikyto7313 Mike did a lot of things that could've impacted major events that would not go well for Gus, Walt and Ignacio too.
But yeah all he did for his family was for nothing.. Even worse, died for a stupid reason.
@@mikyto7313not true at the end of el Camino Jesse hands a bag of cash to Ed in order for it to be delivered to mikes family so his death was not entirely useless
He was able to buy a house for them though, and he did give them some money though granted not as much.
@@kingclampz6081I don't remeber anything of that. Could you give me the link of the scene?
So this is how Walter sent Mike to Belize
Most chilling part of this scene is that when he tells Jesse that Mike is gone…he’s not lying
What's funny is that it was in large part Jesse that kick started the chain of events that lead to this.
but Jesse doesn't really act badly. If there's one thing you can say, is that Jesse rarely, if ever in this show, has bad intentions. Jesse is the epitome of the old adage "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
@@cldpt You could probably apply that statement to quite a few other characters as well.
Its crazy that all of the characters in breaking bad and better call Saul, who were involved in the drug business died all of them. Except from Jesse.
So skinny and badger, saul, the home Depot guys, and the buyers of the "say my name" died from what old age?
@@Saddonghusseinthe say my name guys died by Jack and the nazis
@@maskwelding4148 so skinny, badger, home Depot, saul, fat woman working for the salamancas, nd half of the people in czech republic that were buyers from madrigal were also killed by the nazis?

Last year I rewatched the entire series for about the 6th time. Decided that was enough. But seeing clips like this brings back the craving 😑
'' This is it, this is how it ends......'' - Michael Ehrmantraut
Waltuh. Get me outta this trunk Waltuh.
Omaeva mou shindeiru
I swear I wanted to see this scene half an hour ago and twenty minutes ago the official channel uploads it. What the heck
Todd is that co worker who never asks any question because they figured out it takes up time they could use at 4.59 to be at a bar. 😂💀
Me when i ask for a Nintendo Wii in 2004 2:39
The previous episode and this moment was Walt at his worst… I was done rooting for him after he capped Mike.
And for no reason.
Imagine if Jesse got suspicious and opened the trunk
This is the moment Mike Ehrmantraut became soup
Hmmmm Traut Soup
Not sad that Walt died knowing his son, wife and potentially his daughter all would hate him forever.
Walt deserved nothing after many points on this show, but this was the last point he could have gotten them all back.
He chose to end like this over his family. He didn't care about his family as much as he pretended.
@@penske_material I think he did care for them, he seemed regretful in Felina looking at Walt Jr coming home.
@@gyronutz3043 he did care, but not as much as he pretended it's what I meant
Maybe Jesse already suspected Mike was dead at this point. Maybe he noticed the barrel at 2:53 and something clicked.
Mike dying this way is like Batman randomly getting hit by a car from a drunk driver. Who proceeds to panic and take Batman's body to be chopped into pieces and the story for years is that he disappeared and abandoned gotham.
That brief final glimpse we get of Mike dead in the trunk, after all we’ve seen him through in both series… just heartbreaking.
"Get me Matt Damon"
"We have Matt Damon at home"
*Matt Damon at home*
Mike did all of this for literally nothing, kaylee will never see a single penny.
No, in the end of el camino jesse gave ed the disappearer a bag of cash and told him to give it to mikes family, so in the end his family did see some money
@@ckdestroyer4
So a couple hundred grand? 😂
All the harm he did, the lives destroyed with drugs, the people killed, the collateral damage for a decade. So Kaylee can have maybe $300k.
To a large degree Mike losing his stash for Kaylee was because he played the game poorly, not really because of what Walt did
Its good kaylee doesnt get dirty money because thats how her dad died
Just watched Aaron Paul in the 3rd episode of Black Mirror (S6). Definitely the best episode so far
Wow! I'll look for that!
Oh man the fly came back
2:43 Yo Mr White can I get my Nintendo Wii back that I borrowed you?
This was the first scene I ever watched of Breaking Bad when it was still on TV. Remember changing the channel after the intro. Wasn't until many years later that I sat down and binged watched all of Breaking Bad and being shocked this was all the way into Season 5.
I never really thought about it, but if Jesse was doing the math, he could probably figure that Walt never would’ve had the gumption to “Handle” the witnesses if Mike was still on the table. Odds are he knew that Mike was dead before he left the garage
Walt shutting the garage reminds me the famous door scene from Godfather.
Good catch
There are many Godfather tropes throughout. Another one to watch for is oranges as a symbol of death.
1:37 This is the moment Todd became Kim Wexler
"He’s gone"
This is the exact moment when Mike Ehrmantraut is safe in the trunk.
Why do people keep calling finger Mike it’s so weird
Glad I'm not the only one who finds this meme weird 😂🤦♂️
@@josiahgonzalez942re read the comment😂😂😂
@theheartbreak991 now I feel weird 😂
The split second shot of the fly poster.....For anyone who doesn't understand how important "The Fly" Episode is, watch the whole series again.
Love the sound of the fly at 1.09. it's all contaminated.
A fly? Like….singular?!
The fly buzzing when Todd asks if he's ready to dispose the body. What a great throwback to Walt's guilt over Jane.
I always enjoyed how ruthlessly efficient Todd was.
Ironic that he says "it had to be done" when just after he shot Mike he realised it was totally unnecessary
This comment is facts
I have to wonder, when Mike was helping Walt, Jesse and Todd dispose of Drew Sharp in a 55 gallon barrel, did he ever think in a month or so he'd be getting the chemical barrel cremation treatment, courtesy of Walt & Todd?
Even though he didn’t know it, this was Walt’s first jab at Jesse when it came to Jane. The “who’s we?” line reminded him of Jane when she said “who’s you and me?”
‘Whatever happens next, I’m not going to break down and melt the way you think I will’ . . .
The moment I lost all respect for Walt, don’t even see any guilt in him
The fact that he didn’t want to talk about it with Todd was enough guilt, he just dealt with the situation like a man.
Waltuh… You shot me Waltuh… I’m in the trunk Waltuh.
if i could change just one thing i wish mike didnt die so we could have more of him in his own show :(
The further and further I get from my last rewatch I see walt more and more as a villain. Hes seriously a sick person in the last few seaons.
This is depressing
Walk looks like a monster in this scene, sitting alone in the dark room, emotionless without any sound.
These short clips are pulling me back into the BB universe. Time to cook.
'It had to be done' it most certainly did not
Impeccable manners, young Todd.
If I were Mike, I would’ve had the cops discover Walt through an elaborate sabotage. Just like when he threw those cocaine filled shoes on the power line.
If Im ever a boss I will turn my chair back to them whilst I interrogate them.
Walt had no remorse whatsoever. He was so Cold in Season 5
Season 5 you mean?
@@BazingaIRanOutOfIdeas oh yeah my bad! Dunno why I typed Season 6, like it was The Sopranos lol
Walt and Mike literally hated each other. Their work together was a means to an end. Mike had zero respect for Walt, and constantly underestimated him. He conveniently forgets that he was going to kill Walt on Gus' orders and blames Walt's pride and ego for everything.
Mike is a great character, but he deserved what he got.
@@nahor88100% Mike got what he was asking for.
Of course he had remorse, just because he didn’t break down in tears doesn’t mean he didn’t care. Todd was the one who showed zero remorse.
"He's gone." I mean, Walt didnt lie.
"You're done!"
This is the exact moment Mike became a liquid, bravo Vince!
I know Mike lived by the sword and “maybe” deserved this fate but still brutal to think he just melted inside a drum and his family never knew what happened to him.
2:41 who's Wii? there is no Wii , jessie
This actually one of the most chilling scenes in the entire show. Completely forgot about it
2:39 Me waking up in an alternate dimension where the Nintendo Wii never existed
Oh Mike!
Life by the sword ends by the sword
"It had to be done"
WALT!
What hurts me more that is now Mike just acid fluid. 😢
It's actually wild that Jesse was literally that close to Mike's dead body and discovering things. If he had literally pulled up a bit sooner he would have caught him red handed.
"It had to be done" literally the opposite of the truth🙄
Mr 'No Half Measures' sure took a lot of them during the Series.
1:17 yup
He's gone, and we couldn't do nuttin about it. Dat's it.
I don’t know if it’s just me looking too deeply into it, but I feel like the fly in the room, and then the reveal of the poster on the wall was intentional. The fly was a symbol for Walter’s fear and desperation, and having a fly in the HQ of a pest control center is almost like saying the fear and insecurities have made their way into Walt’s core center. Mike’s death only further signifying how far his morality has fallen.
waltuh
Yes Mike was in the game, but he was not an evil person.
The reason he got in the game because his son was murdered by corrupt cops and he saw his daughter in law struggling. He got some jobs to support them but then he met nacho and he got strangled between the Salamanca's and Gus, the rest is history.
So not a good person, he killed people but he was not evil and wanted just future security for his granddaughter.
Mike was "in the game" the moment he took his first bribe as a police officer. It's why that's his biggest regret when he's talking to Jimmy about time machines. He took that bribe, and countless others, enriching himself on the suffering of everyday citizens, and it ended up accidentally getting his son into "the game" too, if only for a moment. The audience can pretend he's a "different" kind of criminal, but Papa Varga really did say it best.
Mike was probably most upset that no safety gear was used in the moving of his body
He was worth 50 of you.
