Ironically, the one man who promised he wouldn't make any more half-measures (Mike), ended up taking half-measure after half-measure which indirectly lead to his own death by Walter, who took Mike's advice and used full-measures to get his own way.
A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and good battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; usually their main armament is mounted in a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat. Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapons platforms whose main armament is a large-caliber tank gun mounted in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by machine guns or other ranged weapons such as anti-tank guided missiles or rocket launchers. They have heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's munition storage, fuel tank and propulsion systems. The use of tracks rather than wheels provides improved operational mobility which allows the tank to overcome rugged terrain and adverse conditions such as mud and ice/snow better than wheeled vehicles, and thus be more flexibly positioned at advantageous locations on the battlefield. These features enable the tank to perform well in a variety of intense combat situations, simultaneously both offensively (with direct fire from their powerful main gun) and defensively (as fire support and defilade for friendly troops due to the near invulnerability to common infantry small arms and good resistance against most heavier weapons), all while maintaining the mobility needed to exploit changing tactical situations.[1] Fully integrating tanks into modern military forces spawned a new era of combat: armoured warfare. Until the arrival of the main battle tank, tanks were typically categorized either by weight class (light, medium, heavy or superheavy tanks) or doctrinal purpose (breakthrough-, cavalry-, infantry-, cruiser-, or reconnaissance tanks). Some being larger and very heavily armoured and with large guns, while others are smaller, lightly armoured, and equipped with a smaller caliber and lighter gun. These smaller tanks move over terrain with speed and agility and can perform a reconnaissance role in addition to engaging enemy targets. The smaller, faster tank would not normally engage in battle with a larger, heavily armoured tank, except during a surprise flanking manoeuvre.

@Dan H Even if he did answer the call, what would he have done? I haven't watched in a while so I don't remember exactly what goes down, but I think Jesse was very close to his place plus he's not armed or anything like that. Maybe he could have gotten away but still I think it was inevitable that Jesse would get to his house and kill him. I mean, the shots of his phone vibrating happen like a minute or two before Jesse gets to his house. Not much time to make a getaway.
Love how Walt goes from feigning desperation and begging for his life immediately to calm and confident Heisenberg as soon as he gets the upper hand. Incredible acting
He wasn't faking. He was actually terrified and begging for his life. He didn't expect them to grab him so soon, before he could finish Gale. He just thought on his feet and realized that Jesse was his only lifeline. Mike could have easily just denied his phone call request and killed him right there. Or he could have suspected something was off with the call and immediately rip the phone out of his hand before he could set Jesse in motion. This was all a desperate last ditch gamble by Walt, and it worked. ''He is smarter that you. He is luckier than you." - Jesse Pinkman
funny thing about this scene is that Walter reaches for his phone, they react as if it's a gun. then he shows them it's just a phone. they relax, not knowing, that it is infact a gun.
It's crazy that I actually thought Walter was gonna betray Jesse, I never expected him to tell Jesse to kill Gale immediately which is a smart move and best decision to let them both live
I love how loyal Jesse was to Walt before the final season. As soon as he knew Mr. White was in trouble, he sprung to action without a moments notice to murder someone.
@@SuperJutah walter pretty much commit suicide to save jesse at this point of the story, if jesse was really just scared to die he would've gone to the DEA
@@daru3015 Jesse literally said that him and Gus would. Have a problem if he killed Walt hence why when Gus take Walt into the desert Walt laughs at him then Gus threatens to kill Walt’s family
Unfortunately for Gale he got involved in the drug business. It’s his own fault for putting himself in that position and not being ruthless enough to survive.
Some people say that Walt’s at his most dangerous point when he feeds his ego and is at the top of the world, but ironically he always triumphs when he’s backed in a corner. Intelligence and a lot of luck.
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 That's why I said he has a lot of luck lol. The only ever real "asspull" was the plane crash scene at the end of season 2. Way too coincidental.
"There's one thing you don't put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never ever put in a trap. Me." That was the 11th Doctor that said that, but it really fits Walt's persona and penchant for doing his best work when his enemies think he has no way out, doesn't it?
After watching BCS you realise just how smart Walter was. He was new in the game and he outsmarted all these characters who have dealt with and killed so many people more dangerous and experienced than him.
He had the power of persuasion not to mention alot of people probably viewed walter as nothing more then an old man and walt took advantage of that every chance he got
2:54 Better Call Saul really puts in context how unpredictable Walter was. Mike was always on top of every situation and could read people and their plans almost as soon as he met them. Meanwhile he is genuinely shocked that Walter wasn't the meek and big talk no action guy he thought but an actual threat who could surprise anyone even himself by being willing to kill Gale
@@nagyp5463 2 very different situations to be honest , finding someone is a lot harder than just having surveillance on standby just in case someone shows up. What’s he gonna do? Send a hundred guys to knock on each and every door in the city?
What I love about it is how this is such a drastic switch in character the moment he got his golden goose, he was legit sniveling and begging not 2 minutes ago but the moment he got leverage, he saw himself as invincible.
@@pauljones8739 Well that’s a big thing I noticed when watching it. It’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly, but Walt was a part of a company he founded until he was bought out. I think he’d always been bitter, always known what he could’ve done. So when this opportunity comes you see how much of a business man he could really be. To become as successful as that you’ve got to be as selfish and narcissistic as possible.
@@Achilles053 he sold his shares for 5000 dollars after meeting with his girlfiends family. He felt inferior after seeing their riches. The company became worth 2 billion dollars.
@@O.G.H. A full measure would’ve been to waste Walt right there instead of letting him call Jesse. What was Jesse going to do to Gus’ empire at that point.
@Marcelo Zuniga I would wonder if Hank would believe that the DEAs biggest contributor is into a drug empire. He only got to believing it when he saw a Los Pollos cup in Gales apartment with Gus’ fingerprints on it.
Walt has no superpowers, can't win a physical fight (unless he ambushes his opponent), and doesn't have an army of loyal followers. Yet he triumphs over everyone who crosses him because they always underestimate the crazy lengths to which he will leverage friends, associates and family to achieve his ends.
Jesse owed him. Walt saved Jesse's life. If Walt let's Jesse die, he gets to continue working for Gus, never has any fights or problems with Gus and Mike, and goes through the entire rest of the series peacefully. If he truly didn't care about anyone but himself, the smart play was letting Jesse die. He saved Jesse instead, proving he did see Jesse as a son.
That coulda had ended different though. If the call would had been answered, the chemist would run, Jesse wouldnt find him and Walt would be dead: Hank would live though: a better end.
@@sambeutlin9617 yeah but when the phone was ringing jesse was already outside gales door which means even if he picked up and ran jesse would probably find and kill him anyway
@@y.r._ Why do you act as if it’s two separate people? It’s all just Walt. Heisenberg is just a pseudonym he uses to conceal his identity. That ego, pride and ruthlessness was always in Walt.
@@criert135 Because it's easier to think of Walt as a man with two souls. It's one human, but two souls. He's like Heinrich Faust. You could even call him dialectic, like Galileo Galilei from The Life Of Galilei. In conclusion; You are wrong. I did not act as if it were two seperate people.
2:54 the acting here is amazing on Mike's actor. This is one of the few times he slips a worried look from his usual poker face. That's how you know Walter had him by the balls this time.
That moment (plus what we know after watching BCS) shows just how incredibly unpredictable Walt was, Mike was always controlling any situation he was thrown at and could read a person and their intentions from a mile away, yet it was Walt who came in and got him all mixed up.
I love how his voice changes when he starts talking to Jessie via phone. He wanted to sound desparate while begging for his life, but his real goal was to get the premission to call Jessie. As soon as Jessie answered, his mood went from desparate to confidental.
Yes but in the wrong context i think. The commenter meant "confident" I persume. "confidential" means that something is classified/confined, so it's a secret.
This scene hits different after Better Call Saul. Early on you see the same regret Mike had with Werner, not wanting to do it but knowing he had no choice. Letting Walt call Jesse mirrored letting Werner call his wife too

Everyone's talking about Walt's change in expression once he gains the upper hand but the face on Mike when he realizes that Walt outplayed him is priceless
@@yaqubebased1961 Yeah after watching BCS every scene involving BCS characters feels so much better. Especially this one since its cool to see how he changed his fate instead of accepting it like Werner.
This is why it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever watched in my life. Just rewatched it last week after almost 7 years and it was amazing as ever. Looking forward to watching it in another 7-10 years when my memory of it goes away again
I don't think that, although walther was a manipulator, he was also a coward on occasions where he was really in danger, for example the time I liked him, he threatened him and started screaming, which is interesting is how heissenberg enters the scene right after had an advantage
I think that he was definitely begging, pleading for his life genuinely at first, but there was a point of realization that he could use jesse as a way out. at that point, his strategy changed from pleading to leveraging gale's death.
@@willdabeast567 It was a desperate attempt and he was genuinely terrified because it could have easily failed, but the moment he git the upper hand the fear completely drops. Fantastic.
Mike sort of had a contempt for Walt because he was clearly so insecure and also all about his ego, and Mike could always have killed Walt with his bare hands. He underestimated Walt
Well 1 episode earlier Walt saved Jesse life and Walt was in that mess because he didn't want to give Jesse, if Walt would have given Jesse when gus told him to then Walt wouldn't be in that mess
I still cant figure out if Walt was begging for his life genuinely, or Heisenberg was acting so he merely appeared weak. Either way, truly phenomenal acting.
Although it's possible the whole thing was an act, I think at this stage Walt hasn't become that diabolical just yet; after all it was only in the previous episode that he willfully killed people for the first time. So my belief is that he was genuinely begging for his life at first, up until the moment Mike said "I can't do it, I'm sorry." Then the gears started turning in his head and he went full Heisenberg.
I think it was legit but there's also a degree that both are true. He probably also figured if he didn't sell it then they wouldn't let him make the phone call. But either way he had no way of knowing for sure that Mike was going to allow that to take place so to some degree in that scene he didn't know if he could make it out of that situation
@Vini Chenzo I mean I think that there is no "moment he becomes Heisenberg". It's like this thing deep inside him that's there it just gets unsurfaced more and more as the plot goes along.
It was 100% not an act. He was legitimately scared and begging for his life. The thought to call Jesse came to him in that moment. There’s no way this was his plan all along because it’s way too risky. What if gale answered the phone or wasn’t home?
He probably does not want a bullet into his face. But Walt had stage 3 lung cancer. In reality bullet into head is not the worse out come for him. It might even be one of the better out comes. That’s why he can be so reckless and dangerous. He lives with constant threat of dying. He is used to it.
Finally a show where the protagonist doesn't act cool and say "shoot me" when held at gun point. Walt is clearly scared in this scene but only changes once he gets the advantage. Badass does not equal stupid you guys. Walt was badass but realistic in this scene
@@levizeI You know, in this particular scene, Walter is the one acting as if he was frightened while he is planning to call Jesse for killing Gale. So I made this joke and you clearly missed it. r/woosh
He always underestimated Walt because he saw Walt as an arrogant middle class man who isn't capable of planning a hit, he hangs around hitmen and cartel bosses and he never saw that bloodthirst in walt
That is wierd scene: Mike, a man who never fall. He start talking to Walt, before he kill him and would say that he is sorry for him (in fact he despite). Have a resist to kill him and wait for the last moment. That is not Walt victory but Mike's error.
0:41 Never noticed this but peep how Mike grimaces for a split second as if despite receiving Jesse as an opportunity, he thinks Walt’s last resort of putting another life before his own is pathetic, thus reinforcing his dislike of him.
0:27 What's crazy is as much as Mike couldn't stand Walter...you can see in his face and hear in his voice that he honestly didn't want to kill him. And kinda regretted having to
You're right it wasn't personal but you don't say no to certain people ( his employer s ) or you die. Mike was paid to follow orders and never disobey .
Walt: "You might wanna hold off" Mike: "Yeah? Why?" Walt: "Because your boss is gonna need me.... 6353 Juan Tabo. Apartment 6.........Yeah" Gale: *walks upstairs from the lab* "Hey guys, what's going on?" Walt: "Oh for fu--" *gets shot in the face* *Executive Producer Vince Gilligan*

I love the parallel between this scene and the scene with Mike and Werner in BCS. but THIS time Walt turns the tables - completely shocking Mike. Adds so much meaning to this scene
I love the change in Mike's face. It's subtle. Mouth opening just a smidge, eyes opening a tiny bit. You can tell it's a man used to keeping a poker face but he's absolutely flabberghasted at the situation.
Still cant believe how great the acting was in this scene. The way Bryan Cranston utilized his voice, body language and facial expressions. From him raising his voice out of sheer panic, all the way to him squeezing his fists next to his face while his lips quiver. Truly a master in his art. Just wow.
Walt is so good in this scene because he prays on Mike's perception of him. Begging for his life, being frantic, and acting like he doesn't belong. Only to turn around and show is true calculating self when the cards are down. Amazing scene
"Yeah, I unfortunately I do Walter" I don't know why, but the delivery here had me in hysterics... ...well, at least until season 4 of BCS. Then I realized the horrifying parallel between Werner and Walt in this moment
You can really tell for the first 30 seconds that Walt is genuinely just a man begging for his life. And then he realizes that’s not working and then turns into the manipulative mastermind heisenburg
He was never genuinely begging. He was backed into a corner and thats when hes the smartest and most dangerous. He made mike think he would make his job alot easier by letting him call jesse and kill the both of them but he took the upperhand there and played tf out of mike
He was never genuine. He had to beg, otherwise Mike would never have bought that he would sell out Jesse. Mike was no idiot. Had Walt simply calmly told him he'd give him Jesse without a care in the world, he wouldn't have trusted that phone call, because he knew Walt would be up to something.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Thing is, those bastards probably would've still killed both of them anyway even if Walt actually did sell out Jesse. It was the only choice, a very difficult and painful choice.
I remember streaming this at 2am telling myself "I'll sleep after this episode" and then this happened, and then Box Cutter and then I was calling in sick
After watching Better Call Saul and seeing the final scene with Mike and Werner, Mike telling Walt he's sorry but he can't help him seems so much more powerful
@@Eatingsundew499 Eh... I don't know. Mike hated Walt later on because his ego made him destructive towards anything he couldn't control, but Werner just didn't know better. I could see Mike maybe getting a little annoyed with his naivety, but I don't think he'd have any bad feelings for him.
@@tonyrobinson1088 in this scene I think that Mike did feel bad for Walt because he still saw him as a guy who was just in over his head (similar to Werner). I don’t think Mike really hated Walt until Walt killed Gus

Everyone's biggest mistake in this show : Giving Walt one more chance
Walter White has an almost identical character arc to Light Yagami from Death note. It’s frightening.
Ironically, the one man who promised he wouldn't make any more half-measures (Mike), ended up taking half-measure after half-measure which indirectly lead to his own death by Walter, who took Mike's advice and used full-measures to get his own way.

Etymology
The word tank was first applied to the British "landships" in 1915, before they entered service, to keep their nature secret.
Origins
On 24 December 1915, a meeting took place of the Inter-Departmental Conference (including representatives of the Director of Naval Construction's Committee, the Admiralty, the Ministry of Munitions, and the War Office). Its purpose was to discuss the progress of the plans for what were described as "Caterpillar Machine Gun Destroyers or Land Cruisers." In his autobiography, Albert Gerald Stern (Secretary to the Landship Committee, later head of the Mechanical Warfare Supply Department) says that at that meeting "Mr. (Thomas J.) Macnamara (M.P., and Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty) then suggested, for secrecy's sake, to change the title of the Landship Committee. Mr. d'Eyncourt agreed that it was very desirable to retain secrecy by all means, and proposed to refer to the vessel as a "Water Carrier". In Government offices, committees and departments are always known by their initials. For this reason I, as Secretary, considered the proposed title totally unsuitable.[a] In our search for a synonymous term, we changed the word "Water Carrier" to "Tank," and became the "Tank Supply" or "T.S." Committee. That is how these weapons came to be called Tanks," and incorrectly added, "and the name has now been adopted by all countries in the world."[3]
Colonel Ernest Swinton, who was secretary to the meeting, says that he was instructed to find a non-committal word when writing his report of the proceedings. In the evening he discussed it with a fellow officer, Lt-Col Walter Dally Jones, and they chose the word "tank". "That night, in the draft report of the conference, the word 'tank' was employed in its new sense for the first time."[4] Swinton's Notes on the Employment of Tanks, in which he uses the word throughout, was published in January 1916.
In July 1918, Popular Science Monthly reported:
@Dan H Didn't ask
@@pauljones8739 Ratio
@Dan H Even if he did answer the call, what would he have done? I haven't watched in a while so I don't remember exactly what goes down, but I think Jesse was very close to his place plus he's not armed or anything like that. Maybe he could have gotten away but still I think it was inevitable that Jesse would get to his house and kill him. I mean, the shots of his phone vibrating happen like a minute or two before Jesse gets to his house. Not much time to make a getaway.
he wins in every way except for a family that loves and respects him
Love how Walt goes from feigning desperation and begging for his life immediately to calm and confident Heisenberg as soon as he gets the upper hand. Incredible acting
Walt is a worm
Walt wasn't feigning desperation or begging for his life. It was all an act so they would allow him to call Jesse
@@bluepeng8895 That...uh..that *IS* feigning desperation. He faked, or, feigned fear to sell the act.
He wasn't faking. He was actually terrified and begging for his life. He didn't expect them to grab him so soon, before he could finish Gale. He just thought on his feet and realized that Jesse was his only lifeline. Mike could have easily just denied his phone call request and killed him right there. Or he could have suspected something was off with the call and immediately rip the phone out of his hand before he could set Jesse in motion. This was all a desperate last ditch gamble by Walt, and it worked. ''He is smarter that you. He is luckier than you." - Jesse Pinkman
@@DiscipleOfDefiance yeah I agree with you. I was just clarifying what “feigning” means
funny thing about this scene is that Walter reaches for his phone, they react as if it's a gun. then he shows them it's just a phone. they relax, not knowing, that it is infact a gun.
Walter played Mike so beautifully in this scene. God I love BrBa.

After watching BCS you realise just how smart Walter was. He was new in the game and he outsmarted all these characters who have dealt with and killed so many people more dangerous and experienced than him.
He had the power of persuasion not to mention alot of people probably viewed walter as nothing more then an old man and walt took advantage of that every chance he got
More experienced? Sure. More dangerous? Absolutely not. Walter was an unpredictable genius-level egomaniac. No one was more dangerous than him.

2:54 Better Call Saul really puts in context how unpredictable Walter was. Mike was always on top of every situation and could read people and their plans almost as soon as he met them. Meanwhile he is genuinely shocked that Walter wasn't the meek and big talk no action guy he thought but an actual threat who could surprise anyone even himself by being willing to kill Gale
It's just a shame that Mike made that same mistake again in Season 5, but fatal that time.
I just find it odd that during Lalo's hideout he has the manpower to keep half the town under surveillance while here he cannot locate a junkie.
@@nagyp5463 2 very different situations to be honest , finding someone is a lot harder than just having surveillance on standby just in case someone shows up. What’s he gonna do? Send a hundred guys to knock on each and every door in the city?

@@nagyp5463 Gus also had men at so many places, but he didn't have one at his most valuable employee's house?
Two guns pointed at him and yet he still has all the power, the confidence. My favorite episode of the whole series.
This episode and "half measures" together are just sooo freaking good, the build up, tension and cliffhangers are simply epic

What I love about it is how this is such a drastic switch in character the moment he got his golden goose, he was legit sniveling and begging not 2 minutes ago but the moment he got leverage, he saw himself as invincible.

He is pretty crazy when you really think about it. Poisoning a kid to make it look like he was setup. But in reality he was the one setting Gus up
Jesse owed him. Walt saved Jesse's life. If Walt let's Jesse die, he gets to continue working for Gus, never has any fights or problems with Gus and Mike, and goes through the entire rest of the series peacefully. If he truly didn't care about anyone but himself, the smart play was letting Jesse die. He saved Jesse instead, proving he did see Jesse as a son.

2:54 the acting here is amazing on Mike's actor. This is one of the few times he slips a worried look from his usual poker face. That's how you know Walter had him by the balls this time.
Banks is an amazing actor. Better Call Saul shows the process of Mike getting into this line of work, and the portrayal is astounding.
That moment (plus what we know after watching BCS) shows just how incredibly unpredictable Walt was, Mike was always controlling any situation he was thrown at and could read a person and their intentions from a mile away, yet it was Walt who came in and got him all mixed up.
Waltuh, put my balls away waltuh
Yep

I love how his voice changes when he starts talking to Jessie via phone. He wanted to sound desparate while begging for his life, but his real goal was to get the premission to call Jessie. As soon as Jessie answered, his mood went from desparate to confidental.
As soon as he had Jesse on the phone, he had reached his goal.
How amazing Bryan Cranston is.
Is confidental a word?
Yep
Yes but in the wrong context i think. The commenter meant "confident" I persume. "confidential" means that something is classified/confined, so it's a secret.
This scene hits different after Better Call Saul. Early on you see the same regret Mike had with Werner, not wanting to do it but knowing he had no choice. Letting Walt call Jesse mirrored letting Werner call his wife too
No it doesn’t mirror. Mike let Werner call out of pity. Mike let Walt call cuz it’d make his job easier

You just say the address?
A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and good battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; usually their main armament is mounted in a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.
Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapons platforms whose main armament is a large-caliber tank gun mounted in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by machine guns or other ranged weapons such as anti-tank guided missiles or rocket launchers. They have heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's munition storage, fuel tank and propulsion systems. The use of tracks rather than wheels provides improved operational mobility which allows the tank to overcome rugged terrain and adverse conditions such as mud and ice/snow better than wheeled vehicles, and thus be more flexibly positioned at advantageous locations on the battlefield. These features enable the tank to perform well in a variety of intense combat situations, simultaneously both offensively (with direct fire from their powerful main gun) and defensively (as fire support and defilade for friendly troops due to the near invulnerability to common infantry small arms and good resistance against most heavier weapons), all while maintaining the mobility needed to exploit changing tactical situations.[1] Fully integrating tanks into modern military forces spawned a new era of combat: armoured warfare.
Until the arrival of the main battle tank, tanks were typically categorized either by weight class (light, medium, heavy or superheavy tanks) or doctrinal purpose (breakthrough-, cavalry-, infantry-, cruiser-, or reconnaissance tanks). Some being larger and very heavily armoured and with large guns, while others are smaller, lightly armoured, and equipped with a smaller caliber and lighter gun. These smaller tanks move over terrain with speed and agility and can perform a reconnaissance role in addition to engaging enemy targets. The smaller, faster tank would not normally engage in battle with a larger, heavily armoured tank, except during a surprise flanking manoeuvre.

@vlynst Yo Mr. White... This Lunchly is BANGING yo!
That's right Jesse. It's 99.1% mold.
The begging was just a ruse to trick Mike into believing he would sell out Jessie to save himself.
I don't think that, although walther was a manipulator, he was also a coward on occasions where he was really in danger, for example the time I liked him, he threatened him and started screaming, which is interesting is how heissenberg enters the scene right after had an advantage
@Leatherface nah Walt didn't "always have a plan". In this scene, he was definitely ambushed by Mike and was desperately trying to save himself.
@@Nimbus3690 but he knew they were going to kill him anyway even if he sell Jesse. Killing Gale was the only way to survive
I think that he was definitely begging, pleading for his life genuinely at first, but there was a point of realization that he could use jesse as a way out. at that point, his strategy changed from pleading to leveraging gale's death.
@@willdabeast567 It was a desperate attempt and he was genuinely terrified because it could have easily failed, but the moment he git the upper hand the fear completely drops. Fantastic.
This is when Mike should have realised walt is too smart for gus to employ
He did realize it, and so did Gus, which is why they reached this situation. Unfortunately, afterward they just had no way to get rid of him anymore
This is an exact moment when he does.
That's exactly what he realises lmao
Thats how they got into this situation in the first place. Walt was the only one that could see through Gus' plans with exact precision
Mike sort of had a contempt for Walt because he was clearly so insecure and also all about his ego, and Mike could always have killed Walt with his bare hands. He underestimated Walt
2:22 i love this part, it shows how far they have bonded to the point of trusting their lives with each others. Plus it was hilarious
How is everything in breaking bad somehow funny even in thr most dramatic moments lol 😆
Seeing Walt this vulnerable, and yet turn things around in the blink of an eye was beautiful
i always loved that jessie never hesitated and ran as soon as he knew walt was in danger
Well 1 episode earlier Walt saved Jesse life and Walt was in that mess because he didn't want to give Jesse, if Walt would have given Jesse when gus told him to then Walt wouldn't be in that mess
who do you think your talking about right now
I thought he was the danger
Imagine if he knew that actually Walt was THE DANGER
Yeah? Why.
Idk how to explain it but the confidence behind that "yea" at the end is top tier
Top tier acting
I still cant figure out if Walt was begging for his life genuinely, or Heisenberg was acting so he merely appeared weak. Either way, truly phenomenal acting.
Although it's possible the whole thing was an act, I think at this stage Walt hasn't become that diabolical just yet; after all it was only in the previous episode that he willfully killed people for the first time. So my belief is that he was genuinely begging for his life at first, up until the moment Mike said "I can't do it, I'm sorry." Then the gears started turning in his head and he went full Heisenberg.
I think it was legit but there's also a degree that both are true.
He probably also figured if he didn't sell it then they wouldn't let him make the phone call.
But either way he had no way of knowing for sure that Mike was going to allow that to take place so to some degree in that scene he didn't know if he could make it out of that situation
@Vini Chenzo I mean I think that there is no "moment he becomes Heisenberg".
It's like this thing deep inside him that's there it just gets unsurfaced more and more as the plot goes along.
It was 100% not an act. He was legitimately scared and begging for his life. The thought to call Jesse came to him in that moment. There’s no way this was his plan all along because it’s way too risky. What if gale answered the phone or wasn’t home?
He probably does not want a bullet into his face. But Walt had stage 3 lung cancer. In reality bullet into head is not the worse out come for him. It might even be one of the better out comes. That’s why he can be so reckless and dangerous. He lives with constant threat of dying. He is used to it.

He always underestimated Walt because he saw Walt as an arrogant middle class man who isn't capable of planning a hit, he hangs around hitmen and cartel bosses and he never saw that bloodthirst in walt
That is wierd scene: Mike, a man who never fall. He start talking to Walt, before he kill him and would say that he is sorry for him (in fact he despite). Have a resist to kill him and wait for the last moment.
That is not Walt victory but Mike's error.
@@czernm20 mike's profession isn't killing, he struggles with it and doesn't like it.
I love how Mike's face goes from confident, "I'm gonna kill you"...to "Oh crap baskets..." Such a great scene!
lol crap baskets
This is the moment Walter became a super sayan
oh you say that too
Ah, crap baskets. A man of culture
This is the moment Mike became Gohan

0:41 Never noticed this but peep how Mike grimaces for a split second as if despite receiving Jesse as an opportunity, he thinks Walt’s last resort of putting another life before his own is pathetic, thus reinforcing his dislike of him.
0:27 What's crazy is as much as Mike couldn't stand Walter...you can see in his face and hear in his voice that he honestly didn't want to kill him. And kinda regretted having to
To be fair, I don't think Mike hated him as much at the time.
You're right it wasn't personal but you don't say no to certain people ( his employer s ) or you die. Mike was paid to follow orders and never disobey .
"Please Please, PLEASE let me talk tuah"
Walt: "You might wanna hold off"
Mike: "Yeah? Why?"
Walt: "Because your boss is gonna need me.... 6353 Juan Tabo. Apartment 6.........Yeah"
Gale: *walks upstairs from the lab* "Hey guys, what's going on?"
Walt: "Oh for fu--" *gets shot in the face*
*Executive Producer Vince Gilligan*
Gale: *drops coffee*
Now THAT would've been the greatest twist ending of all time
Or simply answering his phone in lieu of listening to weird Chinese music.
🎵 “I guess I got what I deserved…” 🎵
Quite possibly the best scene in the entire series
You’re godman (not) right. The “say my name” was the best scene.
Nah, “If that’s true.. If you really don’t know… who I am. Then.. maybe your best course… would be to tread lightly”.

2:51 One of the very few times where Mike is visibly rattled.
The only ig?
@@lmaoded1550the scene where gus fring kills victor rattled him too
Mike always saw Walter as a clown of a criminal to this point which is what made him more shocked
Yeah?
Why

talk tuah
Walter White is hands down one of the best characters ever created for television and Bryan Cranston gave a legendary performance.
man I still feel so bad for Gale. he was such a neat guy.
He was a criminal too after all. And he was certainly smart enough to know the business is dangerous
@@GamingFastM but being killed that way i do not think Anyone can predict it
@@ghilessaidani3929 yh true but that's the business, he was also a a meth chef, not so nice after all,still sad though
@@perrybb2 killing him was obviously the best option, not morally ofcourse but anything else would've been a half measure
doesnt end well being a puppy in a dog fight.
Love how even though Mike and Victor are the ones pointing the guns to his head Walt is still calling the shots
A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and good battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; usually their main armament is mounted in a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.
Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapons platforms whose main armament is a large-caliber tank gun mounted in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by machine guns or other ranged weapons such as anti-tank guided missiles or rocket launchers. They have heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's munition storage, fuel tank and propulsion systems. The use of tracks rather than wheels provides improved operational mobility which allows the tank to overcome rugged terrain and adverse conditions such as mud and ice/snow better than wheeled vehicles, and thus be more flexibly positioned at advantageous locations on the battlefield. These features enable the tank to perform well in a variety of intense combat situations, simultaneously both offensively (with direct fire from their powerful main gun) and defensively (as fire support and defilade for friendly troops due to the near invulnerability to common infantry small arms and good resistance against most heavier weapons), all while maintaining the mobility needed to exploit changing tactical situations.[1] Fully integrating tanks into modern military forces spawned a new era of combat: armoured warfare.
Until the arrival of the main battle tank, tanks were typically categorized either by weight class (light, medium, heavy or superheavy tanks) or doctrinal purpose (breakthrough-, cavalry-, infantry-, cruiser-, or reconnaissance tanks). Some being larger and very heavily armoured and with large guns, while others are smaller, lightly armoured, and equipped with a smaller caliber and lighter gun. These smaller tanks move over terrain with speed and agility and can perform a reconnaissance role in addition to engaging enemy targets. The smaller, faster tank would not normally engage in battle with a larger, heavily armoured tank, except during a surprise flanking manoeuvre.

Etymology
The word tank was first applied to the British "landships" in 1915, before they entered service, to keep their nature secret.
Origins
On 24 December 1915, a meeting took place of the Inter-Departmental Conference (including representatives of the Director of Naval Construction's Committee, the Admiralty, the Ministry of Munitions, and the War Office). Its purpose was to discuss the progress of the plans for what were described as "Caterpillar Machine Gun Destroyers or Land Cruisers." In his autobiography, Albert Gerald Stern (Secretary to the Landship Committee, later head of the Mechanical Warfare Supply Department) says that at that meeting "Mr. (Thomas J.) Macnamara (M.P., and Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty) then suggested, for secrecy's sake, to change the title of the Landship Committee. Mr. d'Eyncourt agreed that it was very desirable to retain secrecy by all means, and proposed to refer to the vessel as a "Water Carrier". In Government offices, committees and departments are always known by their initials. For this reason I, as Secretary, considered the proposed title totally unsuitable.[a] In our search for a synonymous term, we changed the word "Water Carrier" to "Tank," and became the "Tank Supply" or "T.S." Committee. That is how these weapons came to be called Tanks," and incorrectly added, "and the name has now been adopted by all countries in the world."[3]
Colonel Ernest Swinton, who was secretary to the meeting, says that he was instructed to find a non-committal word when writing his report of the proceedings. In the evening he discussed it with a fellow officer, Lt-Col Walter Dally Jones, and they chose the word "tank". "That night, in the draft report of the conference, the word 'tank' was employed in its new sense for the first time."[4] Swinton's Notes on the Employment of Tanks, in which he uses the word throughout, was published in January 1916.
In July 1918, Popular Science Monthly reported:
0:24 Me when I get invited to my favorite podcast but my parents aren't opposed to the idea
some people say when hank confronts walt you can see the shift in heisenberg
but here it is way more prominent and also more frightening if you ask me
There is no “shift”. It’s all just Walt.
Its more frightening because is the first time we see him at his most cunning
I love the parallel between this scene and the scene with Mike and Werner in BCS. but THIS time Walt turns the tables - completely shocking Mike. Adds so much meaning to this scene
I love the change in Mike's face. It's subtle. Mouth opening just a smidge, eyes opening a tiny bit. You can tell it's a man used to keeping a poker face but he's absolutely flabberghasted at the situation.
This is the moment Walt turned into a big washing machine. Wash wash
Is this a reference to the 'washing machine heart' song
@@jro3213 yes
Mr. Washy Washy
Washer White
Walter wash
Imagine a show that great when the only fault u can find is that one actor looks older in its prequel.
I love the actors so much I can roll with it.
Not one, a lot of actors look (because they are) older in BCS. Still, both shows are fire.
0:27 talk tuah mentoined
In this scene walter actually is a great poker player like he had originally told his family.
Cause you cant bullshit a bullshitter
The acting in this scene is so great. The look that washes over Mike's face when Walt gives him the address, it's a mix of shock, awe, disbelief.
0:27 Talk Tuah?
"63, 53, Juan Tabo Apartment 6" Walt nailed it saying that line.
I remember seeing this when it aired, and him saying “I’ll give you Jesse Pinkman” sent chills through my spine.
Still cant believe how great the acting was in this scene. The way Bryan Cranston utilized his voice, body language and facial expressions. From him raising his voice out of sheer panic, all the way to him squeezing his fists next to his face while his lips quiver. Truly a master in his art. Just wow.

Walter must really want to get on talk tuah
0:27 when I’m telling my friend my favourite podcast but he completely disagrees with me
Walter white : please let me talk to him.😢
Heisenberg : you might wanna hold off ☠️
Walt is so good in this scene because he prays on Mike's perception of him. Begging for his life, being frantic, and acting like he doesn't belong. Only to turn around and show is true calculating self when the cards are down. Amazing scene
0:26 talk tuah
"Yeah, I unfortunately I do Walter"
I don't know why, but the delivery here had me in hysterics...
...well, at least until season 4 of BCS. Then I realized the horrifying parallel between Werner and Walt in this moment
You can really tell for the first 30 seconds that Walt is genuinely just a man begging for his life. And then he realizes that’s not working and then turns into the manipulative mastermind heisenburg
He was never genuinely begging. He was backed into a corner and thats when hes the smartest and most dangerous. He made mike think he would make his job alot easier by letting him call jesse and kill the both of them but he took the upperhand there and played tf out of mike
He was never genuine. He had to beg, otherwise Mike would never have bought that he would sell out Jesse. Mike was no idiot. Had Walt simply calmly told him he'd give him Jesse without a care in the world, he wouldn't have trusted that phone call, because he knew Walt would be up to something.
H e i s e n b u r g
@@TheStraightestWhitest Thing is, those bastards probably would've still killed both of them anyway even if Walt actually did sell out Jesse. It was the only choice, a very difficult and painful choice.
@@perrybb2 that was never implied
The moment when Mike freed the person who's gonna kill him soon.
Talk tuah 😳
I remember streaming this at 2am telling myself "I'll sleep after this episode" and then this happened, and then Box Cutter and then I was calling in sick
I love how Mike’s face completely dropped when Walter told them Gale’s address
You’re cute
Walt was about to meet Lalo and Howard
After watching Better Call Saul and seeing the final scene with Mike and Werner, Mike telling Walt he's sorry but he can't help him seems so much more powerful
Sorry isn't something Mike would be saying to Walt later on either
@@tonyrobinson1088 probably not Werner either if he let him live
@@Eatingsundew499 Eh... I don't know. Mike hated Walt later on because his ego made him destructive towards anything he couldn't control, but Werner just didn't know better. I could see Mike maybe getting a little annoyed with his naivety, but I don't think he'd have any bad feelings for him.
Mike does seem to mean it to an extent too.
@@tonyrobinson1088 in this scene I think that Mike did feel bad for Walt because he still saw him as a guy who was just in over his head (similar to Werner). I don’t think Mike really hated Walt until Walt killed Gus
Walt almost joined Howard and Lalo
JUST LET ME PLEASE PLEASE LET ME TALK TUAH
This scene is so good, I love the look on Mike's face when he realizes he's been outsmarted.
