Love how Walt's first meeting with the arms dealer ends with Walt saying his gun was for self defense. And now he's full on ordering an M60 and not even trying to argue that.
I think the manual had a 4 in front before it was cut off so m42, not tryna be a stickler, u know what nvm don’t mind me this is an annoying comment, who cares if it’s an m42 and not an m60, much apologies sir. I apologize profusely, Im gonna go put my head through a wall. Many apologies, much forgiveness.
@@NattyIce553there isnt an m42 light machine gun in US operation nor has there been anyhow! Definitely an m60 model LMG. Myth busters even used an M60 for their comparison
This is one of my favorite scenes in the series. It feels like dust settling after a storm, with somber undertones. Especially with after everything he's done, and he's just sitting in plain sight, in public next to ordinary people and none of them have a clue who he is.
reminds me of the end of Narcos where after months of hiding, even celebrating his birthday in hiding, Pablo Escobar returns to his hometown and sits peacefully on a park bench in public eating strawberry ice cream. The first and last time he'd ever genuinely enjoy life in a long time.
Best meal ever at Denny's. 20hrs, no sleep or food and we were starving. It cost a few dollars. Our introduction to the USA - a memory to last a lifetime! Breaking bad? Yes, the same category - will never be bettered.
It's very easy to give yourself away not responding to your "new" birthday I imagine. Giving him the old birthday was a good solution. Plenty of people share birthdays.
@@TheStraightestWhitestI also think it’s sentimental for him since Skylar use to make him the same breakfast so maybe he didn’t want to forget his real birthday
@@kevintrice2444 Maybe that's true about the money. But he certainly did enjoy the power. He told Skyler as much in the last episode. "I did it for me. I did it because I liked it."
Whenever I’ve seen bacon on US shows it doesn’t look that appetising. It’s different than the bacon I’m used to in the UK. I think it’s a different cut from the pig.
@@KitKatNisa What about treating patrons like customers and people? Your first sentence is conjecture. I have not worked in the Food Service business since I was a cook at Mac's Steakhouse, 1983. The main cook Gene was a beer drnking psycho and radomly did not show up Sunday mornings and sunday lunch was insanely busy without Gene. I just could not carve the roast beef on the buffet like Big Gene but I treated everyone the same given I was 17 years old.
The strangest thing about this show is that Walter never tried to build an Empire. Despite all his money, he never tried to pay off police or politicians. Yet, he always pretended in his own mind that he was very powerful. His power was limited to his skill as a manufacturer.
Buying political power is the line the writer did not want to cross. No need to wake up the rubes and cause problems. It's pretty obvious most ongoing crimes involving money could not happen unless politicians, prosecutors and law enforcement look the other way. I am reminded of this when the local sheriff and DA started busting streetwalking hookers just before elections, but didn't touch the escort services and dancer to your room business models.
You either need to watch the show again, or improved your media comprehension 😂 Walt literally has an entire scene explaining how hes "in the expire business"
@@tanjeeschuan4999 the only thing keeping him alive was his skill as a manufacturer, and nothing more. If they would have been satisfied with Gale's only infinitesimally inferior product, Mr White would not have survived a week. He had no protection at all except from other overt gangsters. He had no protection from covert gangsters, like politicians and police. He had no inside man feeding him Intel. He had nobody in compromising circumstances.
@davidhutchinson5233 must give you props in two ways. For one I forget the gun dealers name and I was scrolling the comments hoping to find it. Not only did your comment remind me of his name "Lawson"...... It did it with one of the funniest but truest statements on here. The only crime is your statement deserves more likes!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Let's be honest the only integrity he had was through the necessity of him not being caught in a ring of arms dealing. Other than that he does not care what happens to anyone outside his circle.
At 70, my father has mild dementia. He is enjoying all the older movies like he is seeing them the first time. Seems like forgetting is sometimes good.
Watched it with a friend for my 3rd time and girlfriend for the 4th. Showing things to people who've never experienced them before can emulate that new feeling a bit
What’s heart breaking is that to me, I could see this being how Walt met Skylar. 😢 I remember in season 1, the episode “Cancer Man” (I think), Walt told his family that he met Skylar at a bar or a coffeehouse or somewhere he would go everyday after work at Greymatter, and he would talk to Skylar who was work there as a waitress or hostess or whatever. The conversation probably got started a simple way to this. He was off duty, having a drink and some food while contemplating on his next move at the company. A beautiful lady behind the counter caught his attention and the rest is history. Here over two decades later Walt finds himself in a similar situation mirroring his past. Only now he’s an old man At death’s door. A wanted man at that. Yet here he is almost back at square one, metaphorically. Some things never change.
I feel like at most restaurants, ordering a side bacon would never give you enough to spell out '52' on your plate. You'd be lucky if you could spell out '11.'
Unbelievable that this all took place within only two years. The episode when Skyler went into the pool was supposed to be only 1 year since the pilot…crazy. The amount that Walt changed that drastically within a year is honestly disturbing
@@alonzobishop3671 no he wasn't. Gus started it all when he ordered the murder of Tomas. Then Jesse went to kill the drug dealers. Walt was at fault for caring too much in a ruthless business. Then it was survival mode, can't be blamed for saving his life -even if he manipulated Jesse by poisoning Brock. After Gus death, things were going fine until Wachsberger (Mike's pick for attorney) got himself followed and caught. And Walt empire fell because he was too stupid to not get rid of the book. Walter "knew his place" and did "his job. He was fine with being a chemist and win money steadily with no risks. That's why he ratted Jesse with Gus. So, it wasn't "your pride and your ego" as Mike said.
I don’t think that’s why. I think it was more like he knew she could use it. He knows his time is up. He’s dying and he actually doesn’t have as much money as we think at this point if I’m not mistaken. It went from millions to thousands real quick.
I agree with the comment above. Furthermore, I think he appreciated the waitress for being kind to him, when all the rest in the world hated him at this point and wanted him dead.
What a cynical thing to say. She was friendly, cheerful (and quite easy on the eyes, too) and obviously wasn't making a lot of money if she was working as a waitress. If he had wanted to impress her or show off, he would at least said something like "I left you a little something there..." as he left. Instead he didn't even react when she wished him happy birthday again as he was walking out.
@@MegaGator39Naw.. he still had millions left. IIRC he took one barrel of cash with him, which was estimated to have contained between 7 and 10 million. No way he would've spent all that even with high cost of living due to him going off the grid. I mean... it wasn't like he was living it up on a Caribbean party-island, he was stuck in a log-cabin in the mountains for months and months. Plus he left a small fortune for his kids' college fund with that Alfred E. Neuman looking dude. He was still loaded at this point.
@@MegaGator39by the time he got to that diner he probably only had at least $900,000 left after giving $9 million to his ex gf and her gay best friend and I think at least $1 million to Jesse's friends.
I love how this season played into the heavy forehshadowing like S2 had. Really does a great job at not only filling in the timeframe of the very late season to prepare you for the finale, but it also build the mystery which engages the audience to stick it out to the end!
I like how Lawson just leaves Walt with a "good luck, I guess" because there's no way any illegal business involving an M60 machine gun is going to go smoothly.
I don't get it...Why can't they have the same birthday? Do you know how many people in the world share the same birthday? What like a million at least?
The arms dealer only asking Walter for his word he won't bring it across the Border and then leaving after with just a "well... good luck, I guess" is perfectly done with the somber tone he speaks in while he's clearly quite anxious as he adjusts and fidgets his body while talking. He already met with Walter once when Walter went to purchase a weapon for "self-defense" and certainly knows about what Walter has done to rise to control over a portion of the drug world, so seeing him so changed now into this depressed, disheveled mess of a person while knowing what he was capable of is highly worrisome when he wants to now purchase a fucking light machine gun that he only plans to use where it "won't leave town." He knows some real fucking shit is about to go down and that whatever is happening is related to why Walter is a mental wreck, only feeling sorry for him and hoping Walter makes it out okay. The arms dealer even with the small amount of time he's shown up on screen has quite good characterization across both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Genuinely one of my more liked characters.
Imagine being a waitress, living a normal life, and then discovering on the news that the man you had just treated kindly in the diner was actually a drug kingpin with a thriving meth business.
You know what’s crazy? According to Vince Gilligan and his writing team when they first wrote the scene uncle Jack didn’t exist yet, neither did his gang. Whoever or why Walter White was going to use the machine gun on had not yet been written. Breaking bad Raiders deserve so much praise he managed to reverse engineer flawlessly and give us one of the greatest final seasons ever
Maybe its just me but great as this ending was I feel like it would've been better if they never showed what he had in the trunk, other than maybe the part with him rigging the swinging mount contraption. That way when the trunk popped and the machine gun opened up it would've been a complete surprise
There's this concept in screenwriting called "Chekhov's gun" where a character places a loaded gun in full view of the audience (and only the audience) in act I, then they have to wait in anticipation for the gun to be used in act III. Breaking bad does this all the time: Ricin behind an outlet, Walt buying a gun in s4, the cousins getting a free hollow point in s3. It's a narrative device used to help build anticipation.
The surprise was how he used it and the aftermath. The gun was just a tool, like the ricin capsule. The ricin was originally for Tuco. Later for Gus, and finally artfully delivered to that snake Lydia.
That is a possible route, but there is such a thing as too much mystery. When Walt arrives at the meeting, there is tension over where he'll park the car, whether or not he'll be able to get his keys back after the Nazis take it, what will happen to Jesse, etc, etc. We can EITHER have that or have the device in the trunk be a mystery. Hiding both would've been too much. You don't want your audience juggling too much uncertainty, there's more tension when they know part of the puzzle. When they have some pieces, but no idea how they fit. And as others pointed out, with how ridiculous the gun set up was, the only way ground it was to show Walter building and testing the rig. It was either that or having him monologue an explanation after the fact, and that wouldn't have been great.
Some people who like metaphysics and spiritual world often say people are destined to die in dates around their birthdays. Gilligan and Gould probably even took that under consideration whilst setting up Walt's death. Well that's being thorough
I think that it's all just coincidence. My great grandmother passed 3 days before her 94th birthday. However, my great grandfather was born in October but died in January. It's all arbitrary to me.
Rewatching breaking bad s1 ep4 Walt describes the fire meeting of seller she was a waitress at a diner did crosswords with her for some reason rewatching that episode made me directly think of this scene definitely done on purpose. God I fucking love this show
Before I even watch... the first scene is the plate of breakfast... it's 5:10am right now and I'm hungry.... that looks soooo delicious right now I can't even describe 😅
@@Acetheskywolf yeah ok but if I wanted to change my identity I'd change my birthday too I mean like lots of people are called walter white but I doubt he kept that name
Remember when Walt and Jesse were cooking in the dessert and were headed to Dennys for a “Grandslam Breakfast” before the RV died. Not meant to eat Dennys I guess. 😅
Watch up to the end of Episode 2. If you're not hooked by then, it's probably not going to happen later. But it is a great little show. Season 1 gets a little rough after that, but it's a short season, and the show is fire from S2e01 all the way to the end.
honestly I wish the people that served me in local bars/restaurants were half as chatty as this, most of them look more like Walt does in this episode.
@@NiskaMagnusson really, I’m the total opposite. Like stop keeping me waiting for 20min and get me my food as I don’t have time to hear your origin story.
@@Question-Log fair enough, there's a nice middle ground honestly. I've been on vacation in other countries and had really interesting conversations with people. Hopefully they enjoyed talking so some boring tourist as much as i enjoyed talking with them 😆
It was when the prices of oil gas per-gallon actually rising up, so they had to raise the gas prices due to imbalances of the prices, at least that was what i read long ago.
One thing that always bothered me. Walter White is a fugitive and known as the meth kingpin. His face would be all over the news and he is casually hanging out in a Denny’s? Ridiculous how no one recognized him!
Oh yeah, Walter paid people to place fake calls to the cops saying that they spotted him all over town, remember? So even if someone did recognize him, there was no way to tell which call was real. Plus, Walt looks way too different. If I had only seen Season 1 of Breaking Bad, I wouldn't recognize Brian Cranston if he showed up at my local diner looking like that.
It'd been months since he was actually seen in the area, he'd been hiding out in Colorado if I remember right. The entire time he was gone, he'd been dying of cancer and doing chemotherapy which wreaks havoc on the body. On top of that he'd grown out his hair and facial hair a bit. The main thing, though, was that people weren't looking at him to find Walter White. He wasn't doing anything to really stand out from other people, so people didn't spend much time looking at him. That's how a lot of people can blend in in plain sight when they don't want to be found.
It's a projection fantasy. They wish they could leave their plates full, when the fact is it's considered a felony if they don't leave their plates completely empty.
The biggest crime that was committed in the entirety of the show was that Walter ordered a whole breakfast and didn’t eat a single bite.
You've gotta at least grab a piece of that crispy bacon on the way out the door.
Hardened criminal!
He probably ate it... If there were multiple re-takes involved, he was probably full by then... who'd want to eat same thing over and over?
I could go for that Right Now, with a Side of Ham and Sausage, 2 Glasses of Choclate Milk and A Tums for 40 minutes Later 😂

Walt playing with his food while I’m starving here smoking a joint
Well get your life together and stop smoking weed then.
I guarantee that you've never starved in your entire life lol
Get clean , stoner
Funions anyone? 😂
Stop doing drugs.
When I watched this for the first time in 2014, it was how I learned you got free birthday breakfasts at Denny's.
"Give me all the eggs and bacon you have..." - Ron Swanson...
Not a lot of bacon and eggs, but all the bacon and eggs.
The first free thing Walt took all series.
Imagine being a waitress, living a normal life, and then discovering on the news that the man you had just treated kindly in the diner was actually a drug kingpin with a thriving meth business.
I wish all waitresses were this friendly, just an observation…
It just happens in the movies.
You know what’s crazy? According to Vince Gilligan and his writing team when they first wrote the scene uncle Jack didn’t exist yet, neither did his gang. Whoever or why Walter White was going to use the machine gun on had not yet been written. Breaking bad Raiders deserve so much praise he managed to reverse engineer flawlessly and give us one of the greatest final seasons ever
I like that the bacon multiplied itself when he started making it say 52.
Maybe its just me but great as this ending was I feel like it would've been better if they never showed what he had in the trunk, other than maybe the part with him rigging the swinging mount contraption. That way when the trunk popped and the machine gun opened up it would've been a complete surprise
You would have known it was a gun because of who he met. I think they made it too obvious with the Lydia poisoning
There's this concept in screenwriting called "Chekhov's gun" where a character places a loaded gun in full view of the audience (and only the audience) in act I, then they have to wait in anticipation for the gun to be used in act III. Breaking bad does this all the time: Ricin behind an outlet, Walt buying a gun in s4, the cousins getting a free hollow point in s3. It's a narrative device used to help build anticipation.
The surprise was how he used it and the aftermath. The gun was just a tool, like the ricin capsule. The ricin was originally for Tuco. Later for Gus, and finally artfully delivered to that snake Lydia.
It would have felt silly if he suddenly had that huge gun and remote controlled tripod in his car with no warning. Like a dumb action movie
That is a possible route, but there is such a thing as too much mystery. When Walt arrives at the meeting, there is tension over where he'll park the car, whether or not he'll be able to get his keys back after the Nazis take it, what will happen to Jesse, etc, etc. We can EITHER have that or have the device in the trunk be a mystery. Hiding both would've been too much. You don't want your audience juggling too much uncertainty, there's more tension when they know part of the puzzle. When they have some pieces, but no idea how they fit.
And as others pointed out, with how ridiculous the gun set up was, the only way ground it was to show Walter building and testing the rig. It was either that or having him monologue an explanation after the fact, and that wouldn't have been great.
Instruction manual?
I pulled some off the internet.
Notice the trust, he doesn't count the money.
It's not the first time they did business
I got your word this won’t wind up crossing the border 😂😂😂😂😂
why though?
It’s never leaving town
@@babyjackjack8405 brings more attention for the seller further down the road
@@babyjackjack8405 Federal crime rather then State, means FBI and not local cops.
@@TheDeadnaughty you have given me the best understanding yet, thanx 💪
No way is all the money he gave to his form business partner for his kids in that bag he took from the trunk from the first car.
Some people who like metaphysics and spiritual world often say people are destined to die in dates around their birthdays. Gilligan and Gould probably even took that under consideration whilst setting up Walt's death. Well that's being thorough
@@anon_148 there's no symbolism. It's more like a fatal rule.

I think that it's all just coincidence. My great grandmother passed 3 days before her 94th birthday. However, my great grandfather was born in October but died in January. It's all arbitrary to me.
@@matadeverdoemden apparently when you die away from your birthday there is something unnatural there
what can you point me in a direction to research?
at the start of the show, at 2008, walt was 50. this scene he is 52 so it must be 2010. yet jesse was show playing rage, a game for 2011. weird.
Brie de Meaux is the best cheese.
Danbo
The show does have some anachronisms. Jack Welker mentions the assassination of Bin Laden, which was also in 2011.
Bravo Vince
Did the start of the show state in-universe it was 2008? If not, then Walt died in 2012. If so, then ye, anachronisms.
Rewatching breaking bad s1 ep4 Walt describes the fire meeting of seller she was a waitress at a diner did crosswords with her for some reason rewatching that episode made me directly think of this scene definitely done on purpose. God I fucking love this show
Doesn't initially want to give his I.D because his name and face is in the papers lol, but says "fuck it" and takes the risk.
Don't think so, the name was fake and she had already seen his face.
Fake ID. It was a New Hampshire licence not his genuine New Mexico one. I guess he’d kept his original birthday.
This and the Rick and Morty, the hole episode, are two of the best commercials
Imagine introducing someone to Breaking Bad trough this first sequence of the fifth season and then play him the show from the beggining.
Man the price you pay for real bacon..
Before I even watch... the first scene is the plate of breakfast... it's 5:10am right now and I'm hungry.... that looks soooo delicious right now I can't even describe 😅
Munchies creepin in.
Seriously, who tf orders a perfect looking meal, and not eat a single bite. Walt went too far this time
2:34 So Walt had to buy the car as well?
For the operation Walt was planning, he probably requested the kind of car needed for the affair.
He wasn't gonna pull that off with his Volvo.
A 90s Volvo DL for an El Camino feels like an even trade, but I'm no Kelley Blue Book
How I look because everyone I know
Vince is a genius even with bacon. That 5 represents the current season and the 2 symbolizes it being split into two parts.
imagine if some fed was in the bathroom taking a shit LMAO
Denny's. " The Home of Greasy Bacon....and....Big Ass Guns"
And cute waitresses.
I just realized, his fake ID must have had his real birthday on it
Bryan Cranston should star in a Half Life scifi/horror series or movie.
If you want to buy a m60 just come to Denny's for your best breakfast.
So he shows his ID to prove his birthday, but he's showing his fake New Hampshire ID. Why is his birthday the same on his fake ID?
Lots of people share the same birthday
@@Acetheskywolf yeah ok but if I wanted to change my identity I'd change my birthday too
I mean like lots of people are called walter white but I doubt he kept that name
Remember when Walt and Jesse were cooking in the dessert and were headed to Dennys for a “Grandslam Breakfast” before the RV died. Not meant to eat Dennys I guess. 😅
I've never seen this show. I'll look into it. I"m still on Season 2 of The Sopranos.
Watch up to the end of Episode 2. If you're not hooked by then, it's probably not going to happen later. But it is a great little show. Season 1 gets a little rough after that, but it's a short season, and the show is fire from S2e01 all the way to the end.
Stop watching spoilers, just watch it all the way through, it’s amazing
There's this 4 episode run at the end of season 4 of Breaking Bad that is the single best television ever made. You're for a treat.
I absolutely loved this show & binged watched it. I am also probably one of the only 10 people in the world that has never seen the Sopranos.
got a LONG way to go ...
“Hey lady, shut up.”- my internal thoughts
honestly I wish the people that served me in local bars/restaurants were half as chatty as this, most of them look more like Walt does in this episode.
@@NiskaMagnusson really, I’m the total opposite. Like stop keeping me waiting for 20min and get me my food as I don’t have time to hear your origin story.
@@Question-Log fair enough, there's a nice middle ground honestly. I've been on vacation in other countries and had really interesting conversations with people. Hopefully they enjoyed talking so some boring tourist as much as i enjoyed talking with them 😆
@@Question-Log Life is about the journey not just the goals. Enjoy the little conversations and small moments
@@smellypatel5272 Walter kinda is a tragic hero
This is the exact moment that Walter White became constipated.
Am I the only one who is bothered that Walt touched his wallet with his greasy fingers ?
Kinda looks that way. Do you have OCD?
Yes you are and I suggest you seek help before it's too late.
@@Brotherken1234 I want to know what was on the plate besides egg and bacon.
@@samsmith6169 Nonsense, whatever it is it's not even brown. I know what hash browns look like it and they don't look like that.
A little bothered, but oil is good for leather, so there’s that. 😊
3.63$ gas 😮
yeah
During the recession
Thanks a lot Obama
Well i didn't notice that
It was when the prices of oil gas per-gallon actually rising up, so they had to raise the gas prices due to imbalances of the prices, at least that was what i read long ago.
the guy couldnt fix his water heater
Is that the Denny’s on Central down from The Frontier and across from UNM?
I still remember that waitress
So pretty and cute!!
One thing that always bothered me. Walter White is a fugitive and known as the meth kingpin. His face would be all over the news and he is casually hanging out in a Denny’s? Ridiculous how no one recognized him!
Most people in real life are dumb ass fuck!
Maybe they only know him when he’s wearing his pork pie hat
Nobody knew what he looked like at the moment, and after all, why would the most notorius and smartest drug kingpin be in such a public place?
Oh yeah, Walter paid people to place fake calls to the cops saying that they spotted him all over town, remember? So even if someone did recognize him, there was no way to tell which call was real.
Plus, Walt looks way too different. If I had only seen Season 1 of Breaking Bad, I wouldn't recognize Brian Cranston if he showed up at my local diner looking like that.
It'd been months since he was actually seen in the area, he'd been hiding out in Colorado if I remember right. The entire time he was gone, he'd been dying of cancer and doing chemotherapy which wreaks havoc on the body. On top of that he'd grown out his hair and facial hair a bit. The main thing, though, was that people weren't looking at him to find Walter White. He wasn't doing anything to really stand out from other people, so people didn't spend much time looking at him. That's how a lot of people can blend in in plain sight when they don't want to be found.
Loved the waitress. Great personality.
I can't stand chatty waitresses.
Why is it that in American films everyone leaves their dishes full of food? No one's hungry over there?
We get too big of servings and can’t finish what we’ve started.🇺🇸👋
It’s not America, it’s Hollywood
@@ted.angell7609 It's ameriturds.. They serve to much, consume to much. Bunch of fat ass's.
Chinese TV series like 2010's Three Kindoms have food in front of the characters all the time but they only drink the rice wine 😢
It's a projection fantasy. They wish they could leave their plates full, when the fact is it's considered a felony if they don't leave their plates completely empty.
Opening your trunk wide open in public while you have that in plain view is crazy.
welp this is Breaking Bad crazy should be expected 😂
That's a DEEP trunk. Unless someone was within 6 feet they wouldnt see it
Yeah every atf agent within a mile saw it.....
His ego was so large he felt untouchable
No worries mate - its the US of A
i hate it when in the movie they always don't finished their food. sometimes, they don't even touch it. pls don't waste food!
Yeah and he wasted a whole ass pizza as well by throwing it on the roof
I love Lucy
You don't become the most powerful meth manufacturer in the West without having connections😂
filming was excellent.
He broke 3 pieces of bacon in half to make 6 pieces but had 10 bacon parts to make the 52. Notro Vince.
That’s the sheriff on Justified.
I woulda at least ate the bacon before I left.
There has to be something said for walking away from a Grand Slam breakfast without eating a bite!
It looked very unhealthy. All that bacon could shorten your lifespan.
I wouldn't eat that if you paid me to. All of that sodium will bloat you.
