I love how Walt actually believed that despite everything he’s done to Krazy8 he’d just forget about it because they had a nice conversation. It’s a sort of naivety to him that we don’t see often I think
Well to be fair walters life wasn’t the greatest I mean his wife is the worst his kid is disrespectful to him at times hit brother in law is debatable a jack ass and he had cancer plus he wasn’t friends with Jesse at that point so yeah a talk would’ve took you far
To the audience too, this show was pretty revolutionary at the time and the fact that it still hits so hard all this time later is incredible, the audience was all “sure fine we get a happy ending” but get shown so early that that’s not what’s gonna happen
It’s absolutely unthinkable about how Walt has evolved so much throughout the series like no other protagonist. He went From apologizing to a corpse, to shooting someone in mid-sentence.
well being innocent and naive just led to punishment and pain, but being cruel and brutal got him what he wanted. positive and negative reinforcement. the more walt accepted peoples excuses the more he enabled them to abuse him. the guy that helps walt hide has no tolerance for his bs, because he knows giving people any kind of lenience will just lead to them abusing it.
Youd be pissed to if you didnt want to actually kill him. Now you gotta dispose that shit(a body) and walk with a limp. OH yeah, If you decided to want to let him go and the moment you do he tries to kill you, you wouldnt be pissed either?! Id be like, "I gave you a chance and you try and do that in return?! Id say sorry too that I had to kill him and that you made that poor choice. All you had to do was walk. didnt you say you just want to go home and not say I want to kill you and go home? edit: In short, Im sure youd be pissed and sad too that know you most likely have to kill him... and if your comment was meant to be a joke, its retarded/cringe at best.
"When I first watched this scene I was a stupid kid and thought Walt was freaking out because he realized he accidentally fed the guy part of the plate" -Someone on twitter
@@KDanes this isn't the real world, it's breaking bad. And even if it is the real world, why would Walt risk letting 8 live given how he thinks the cartel operates? Stfu
Would be hilarious but I’m sure Krazy-8 would still try to kill Walt even without the piece of plate. Maybe not immediately but some day he would definitely take some friends with him and go to Walt‘s house to slaughter him and his family
I only just realized Walter was crying before he did this. Such a big change between killing a guy who was trying to kill him and then remorselessly calling in hits on multiple people he never met in a few seasons.
It was so heartwarming when they put the broken plate back together. Krazy-8 felt so bad that he wanted to surprise Walt by fixing it himself, but Walt found out and it was honestly even better that they did it together.
This is the scene that made me fall in love with this show’s cinematography and story telling. Just so chilling when he realizes that he had the shard and his attempt to humanize krazy 8 meant nothing.
I'm not sure if it was a single scene that got me hooked, but this is a good early scene. I watched the first 2 episodes back when it first came out on AMC and I remember that right away there was just something unique about this show that had me hooked like no other TV series I'd seen before. I think that's partially because alot of episodes end on a "cliffhanger" so to speak, which leaves you just itching to see what happens next...not to mention the great writing, cinematography and acting. Albuquerque and the desert was a perfect fit for the cinematography of this show.
@@yearginclarke damn i also remember watching it when it came out watching those first two episodes as a kid only to come back to finish the series many years later. It was just amazing
@@AA-bz1pr It is just reasonable, it is what everyone would do: you search for the piece, you think you missed it. It is a detail that makes the story more believable, and that makes you empathise more with him.
@@yoloboy03 This is like, the third or fourth episode, he hasn't destroyed his family yet nor ruined any lives (besides Emilio and Krazy-8). You'd feel bad for him in this scene, even worsening the fact that they talked to each other before this occurred.
I like how the plate breaks into 7 pieces. The eighth piece is actually krazy 8 who also had to break for Walter to break bad, that’s brilliant writing
Not a lot of people know this, but the missing piece actually symbolizes the missing piece of the plate that was intended to stab Walter. The amount of details in this show is amazing.
That’s literally the whole point of him putting the plate back together.. who would watch that and be like damn I wonder where that dagger shaped piece went
The way Walter strangled him to death is symbolic of how Walter wanted Krazy 8 to stop living. Even more subtle is how he strangled him from from behind, which symbolizes how he doesn’t want to get shanked with a plate.
The scene also shows that Walter has always been unusually good at anticipating potential threats. It occurred to him to check the plate pieces when most people wouldn't have considered that. That's how he managed to stay alive for as long as he did. Always staying a step or two ahead of his enemies.

Actually this is the moment would I say when this series showed me it was different.
Walt apologizing to Crazy-8 after killing him was a nice touch. Drives home how different a person he was at this point than who he'd become down the road.
I mean I'd say it shows how he sorta has an alter ego, he has his must do everything himself and not rely on anyone else and the naive im sorry I didn't want to kill you
When he kills Krazy 8 he feels bad When he Kills those 2 guys he feels shocked When he kills Gus and Hector he feels happy When he kills Mike he feels angry when He kills Jack and his crew he feels nothing But when he kills Lydia he feels satisfied
It’s a damn shame no one in Walters life understood what this did to him. Walters Naive nature almost got him killed. He was trying to take a half measure, but by one piece of the plate missing he had to go all the way. No more half measures.
@@fatiht8863 what if after Walter said "you gonna stick me...?" And mf breaks the lock and somehow escapes? He would've snitched to the DEA too. I know this idea is stupid but yeah.
@@mon2soon582 i mean that's the real path it would follow if he escaped, he snitched to DEA about meth so these two guys also trying to kill him would fall in line, nothing dumb mate
I love the moment Walt finds there is a piece missing. 8 had convinced him to abandon this life of crime and just the moment he was ready he realised his ticket out was nothing but a UNO card

Here... sandwich. Are you gonna stick me with that piece of plate? *MURDER* No offense but... I'll make you another sandwich ua-cam.com/video/sFVrvRjlXH4/v-deo.html
@@nameynamename3758 The joke went way over your head. The difference in his character. He said sorry followed up with some lame explanation about how he didn't have to shoot him.
The hopeless and primal way Krazy-8 swings the piece of the plate, trying desperately to hit Walt at any cost, is so raw, and surreal. Makes you really believe he's fighting for his life. Even from Season 1 this show was perfect.
When Walt asks, "Are you going to stick me with that piece of broken plate?" That's a subtle nod to the fact that Walter thinks Krazy-8 is going to kill him after he releases him. Brilliant writing!
This really shows how brilliant Walter really is. While trying to find reasons to not kill this man, he was able to spot a piece of a broken plate missing under distress.
I think part of it was Walt having the sort of mind that needs to follow correct procedure, as best as he understands it. In this case, it was as a self-assigned jailer of sorts. As a logical guy, he understood that everything a prisoner receives must be accounted for when returned, otherwise the prisoner has stashed it for use later.
When you look at the situation realistically there is no way Walt could have let's this guy go without constantly having to watch his back. Walt did what needed to be done.
What’s more chilling, is what came after. Jesse goes to the house, it’s cleaned up like nothing happen. Along with the Rv. Top of that, it’s got an eerie song playing with it. Breaking Bad is truly a masterpiece.
I love that Walt had a tear run down his cheek when he asks him if he’s going to stab him with the plate. Just adds to the realism. He was both scared and sad. he didn’t want to believe that krazy 8 would do that after bonding with him but now he had no choice and he was sad he had to do it
No, I don't think Walt became a cold hearted killer in this scene, he didn't want to kill Krazy 8, but he had to. I think it's when he ran over those gang members. And Krazy 8 wasn't trying to help Walt, he was gonna use it to kill Walter and escape. Walter only killed him out of self defense.
He really didn’t want to do it. He had no reason to empathize with Crazy-8. Wild how he transitioned from this to Heisenberg. Truly one of the best shows in terms of pure character development, and acting.
When he realizes the plate is missing and gets all panicky and says no no no and doesn’t wanna believe that the guy he just had a really nice conversation with most likely is gonna try and kill him if he lets him go. Love when Walt gets emotional because he doesn’t wanna do it but knows he just has to. I loved this scene. It was epic. Greatest show ever imo
This is the first scene where I was like: “Oh, this show is gonna be great” the way Walter keeps apologizing as he’s choking him to death is just so saddening. This is the first of many lines he crosses into becoming a criminal
@@brennonfruge5873 Oh yeah I never noticed that. Makes sense that he's still lamenting over his actions toward Krazy-8, because his murder is really where it all started. Nice catch, mate
He doesn't just became a Criminal, Walt lost his humanity throughout the Series and became a cold blooded Murderer. With the end of Season 3 Walt gave up almost all Morals and Ethics and did absolutely everything for Money, Power and his own Ego.
Also in an episode in breaking bad they said that Tuco is the replacement for Krazy-8 but when watching BCS you know that he’s 5 lvls above him and not a replacement type at all. I think the producers changed the character a little bit
@@abdulrahmanalenezi6848 they didn't say that exactly, they said that Tuco took over his territory. but it was pretty obvious that tuco was a bigger dealer with more security and more underlings
This single event was the point of no return for Walt. He was a completely different person with a completely different outlook on life after this. First of all, he now has to live the rest of his life with the reality that he once killed a man. And he is coming to terms with that. On top of that, the gentle, naive Walt of the past was just given a rude, heartbreaking awakening about just how deceptive and evil it was possible for a human to be. That all you have to do is lie and keep a straight face and you can pretty much get whatever you want because the average person will probably be naive enough to fall for your charade, just as he himself fell victim to Domingo’s emotional manipulation. The psychological effects all of this had on him and the snowball effect it kicked off is almost certainly the ultimate underlying reason he became a full-fledged psychopath by the end of the series
@@bibo1840 they are being forced into a shitty life you cant blame walt at all that a man that wanted to kill him was in that basement and he had to seal his life off just like jesse told him too
This is a great example of good storytelling. The writers could have had shown Krazy 8 secretly pick a piece of plate but instead they had Walt figure it out by puzzling it together. Not only is this more interesting to watch, but it allows the audience to be more engaged with the story. We have to put the pieces together just like Walt. Therefore identifying with him and being more compelled to root for him. Edit: everyone seems to think they’re more astute than they really are I guess. Because no one has really articulated why exactly this scene is so great. This kind of thing may seem obvious but 95% of people who try to write don’t utilize this basic principle when crafting a story, including those ragging on me for this comment. The only reason I know this is because I do script coverage and get hundreds of scripts of people who think they’re good writers but fail to understand what techniques make a story truly engaging. That is all
Yep! You will have a big enough percentage of the audience think along with Walt, "You know, I would check to make sure that every piece is there..." And then two seconds later Walt goes back to the trash can.
This is such a crucial moment in the show where he realizes what he has to be willing to do and then despite trying really hard not to kill the guy he ends up having no option but to do so. And I think a small piece of Walt died with that guy kinda like murdering a coworker. And afterwards he only becomes more callous towards situations such as these
You’ve put it into words nicely! I think a part of him dies with every encounter that he has with pivotal characters like krazy-8, gus, mike etc. but at the same time he has also adapted their behaviours as well (in krazy-8’s case cutting the crust off of his sandwiches) which reinforces the idea of him becoming Heisenberg and ultimately losing Walter with each encounter. My analysis of him is probably obvious but ughh I can’t help it since I just finished the show! c:
@@Dayapgf You just now finished this show? Man, I'd give anything to go back and rewatch it for the first time. Best show ever made, and it's not even close
I just started watching Breaking Bad for the first time, and i can say, without a doubt. This scene and the conversation between Walt and Krazy 8 were the two moments i fell in love with the show. I know the path Walt goes down. You can't really live without knowing some spoilers, but the reason i love both scenes so much is because Walt is trying so desperately to find a reason not to kill Krazy 8. Walt tells him about his cancer, a complete stranger, and i was literally at the edge of my seat, and i didn't take my eyes off my tv because i knew Walt would kill him i thought that was the part that was quite predictable but i generally believed they had bonded in some way and Krazy 8 wasn't going to try to kill Walt so when it turns out Krazy 8 was gaining Walt's trust amd he was planning to kill him i was heartbroken. I think it was the right thing for Walt to kill him, and i feel like you could say it was self-defense, but Walt didn't see it that way he didn’t want to kill Krazy 8 and as his dying Walt was whispering "im sorry im sorry" because Walt at this point was still a very good man and I love that. Damn It i have tears in my eyes.
This scene was actually improvised. While on break after shooting the previous scene, Bryan Cranston had decided to do an epic prank, so he pranked Max Arciniega by suffocating him to death. This prank was caught on camera, and the directors just decided to keep it in the final cut.
Strangling and suffocating aren't the same thing. Suffocating involves air not getting into your lungs. It takes about a minute to pass out and about 3 minutes to die. Strangling involves air not getting to your brain and is fatal in about 15 seconds.
It’s crazy that Walt went from crying bc he had to kill a man in self defense to then murdering a man for hurting his feelings and then bragging about killing his first victim
There’s a little part which shows krazy 8 reaching into his pocket but still i would’ve taken it one of two ways: 1. he was reaching for a weapon such as the plate shard 2. he was tryna scratch his balls But the safer bet would be the latter
My first reaction when I saw it for the first time was that he would kill him and then find the missing piece under the stairs or something. For me the surprise was not the plate being pieced together showing a missing piece it was when Crazy-8 actually pulled it out to stab Walter. I was like oh he did have it after all.
@@XtremeSuperJason I hope so too, they are so good. I rewatched them again and again. They have millions of views but probably take a fuck ton of time to create. Fingers are crossed
One of the many things I love about Better Call Saul is that it still haven't ruined this moment. Nothing that Krazy-8 has done on BCS makes you think Walt is a fool for not instantly killing him. Great prequel.
@@EvilSapphireR What I mean it BCS doesn't have him out killing multiple people. Domingo still seems like a person that you'd pause over killing despite the situation. Which means that the reveal that he's hiding a jagged piece of plate to stab Walt would still be as big of a gut-punch as ever.
@@rdmrdm25 The vast majority of the BCS is set before the events in BB chronologically. That makes it a prequel. Not when it was made. Like how the Phantom Menace is a prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy or the Hobbit trilogy is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even though both those trilogies are kinda horrible in comparison to their source material.
They were men Walt had never seen or met. Killing someone is a great deal more morally difficult than having them killed, as in the process of doing so it's all you're thinking about.
@@boogaloobender3462well walt still didn't really hesitate in for example driving over 2 guys and shooting one of them to save jesse's ass and killing the whole gang of uncle jack with a DIY chassis for a machine gun in the finale so the transformation is here still ykno
I watched this the night it first aired and still vividly remember the feeling. I knew it was a really good show already, but the opening where they are cleaning up Emilio as Walt recalls his “What makes a person” conversation with Gretchen, Walt and Krazy 8 talking, the missing plate piece scene and then finally him killing Krazy 8…that’s when I first grasped how great the show could be. It turned from a dark comedy with the dad from Malcolm In The Middle to an amazing, emotional show.
UA-cam commenters on their way to share stories that just so happen to relate to the scene and are very sympathy inducing and garner hundreds of likes (the first ten thousand times were unlikely coincidences but it was around the 5 billionth time i started to get suspicious)
The broken plate not only symbolised Walt breaking bad, it also symbolised the future breakup of his family, the future breakup of the cartel, and Ted's future broken neck. Truly a scene of all time, bravo Vince!
Not a lot of people talk about it but Krazy-8 was played but such an amazing actor, like honestly even I was starting to believe him. Them talking about family, friends, bonding over sandwiches and beer. Then that slow realization it was all just him pretending, and he would kill Walter without a second thought, it broke my heart man.
Yeah Krazy 8 was an idiot for plotting to kill Walt after he releases him. There was no good reason for it, he's the one who was going to kill Walter in the first place. Walts reaction in the trailer should've proved to him that this a smart guy that shouldn't be fucked with. Had he just been real and co operated with Walt he could've gotten out of there alive and Walt wouldn't have been a bit more desensitized to killing people.
@@banginbadger75 its a TV show it doesn't need to make sense each seen is written with certain intent to send a certain message or evoke a certain response, 90% of breaking bad doesn't make sense from a criminal perspective or even a people perspective people do things that make no fundamental sense a lot is explained away oh they're criminals they're different but it undermines its overall point, a lot of things that seem crazy make fundamental sense when put into perspective and given context. Breaking bad though its more about telling a story and trying to send a message
The scary fact is, even if it were real there's still a good chance he'll still kill Walt. Empathy does not equate connection. You could be both an understanding individual and selfish at the same time. Compartmentalization is a real phenomenon and is typically used in high stress environments.
@@banginbadger75 He might not have, we don't know that for sure. Unknown to Walt, he was a police informant don't forget, so he's probably not a cold blooded murderer however threatening a persona he had. When he took that piece of plate, he was probably expecting to be killed imminently and having a weapon, however crude, may have given him a slightly higher chance of living than without. When he'd got it and then convinced Walt to release him, he firstly may have felt that he couldn't admit to taking the piece without losing Walts trust, and secondly, may well not have trusted Walt to go through with it anyway. It seems perfectly plausible to me that when released he'd have just walked out of the house and contacted the Police and told them about his cousin dying and they'd do the rest. He knew Jesses name and where his lived, and even knew Walter by name too.
Scenes like these make me appreciate a quote from Metal Gear Solid: "Unfortunately, killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it."
What's interesting about this scene is that Walter White wanted to find any reason to let him go. He did not want to kill him. When he aligned the broken pieces, he knew he had to do something that he didn't want to do.
Whats even more interesting was that this scene was improvised and the actor for krazy eight was jealous of the actor for walt and tried to kill him with the plate!
@@twisted_nether373 Okay, what is it with every comment having one of you assholes going "Uhhh yeah captain genius uh huh!!!" in the replies? Jesus, cant even apreciate a show anymore
“[...] nobody ever tells you that they’re going to kill you. It doesn’t happen that way. There aren’t any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles. They come as your friends, the people who have cared for you all of your life, and they always seem to come at a time when you’re at your weakest and most in need of their help.” - Henry Hill, Goodfellas.
This has got to be one of the most chilling scenes in BB. You really want to give Crazy-8 the benefit of the doubt and to trust him, and the gut-wrenching realisation that it was all for nothing.
This. Exactly. You want just as bad as Walt does for Krazy 8 to be genuine in his “live and let live” mentality. I still remember 14 years later watching this and being like “…what the fuck is he doing?” and realizing just as Walt correctly puts the plate pieces together
i love the symbolism of walt desperately looking for the last piece in the bin, as if he's trying to find some humanity in the business he's just got himself into
@@nikolayswagsky9426 I was replying to a deleted comment Nikolay, I just went ahead and deleted my comment to avoid other people being confused. I was in agreeance with what you were saying man.
I remember reading a book by a man who used to the be the director of the FBI. At one point he talks about members of the mob. There was one thing they all had in common when it came to killing other people: The first time was really hard. After that, it only gets easier. That's what makes this lowkey one of the most pivotal moments of the entire series.
In this Scene it was never about puzzling to begin with. By realizing that a piece was missing, the protagonist figured out that it must've been taken by his prisoner in an attemt to harm him once he's free. Very clever writing in my humble opinion.
Never been so freaked out by a character having a realisation while putting together a broken ceramic plate. Man that sent chills down my spine the first time I watched it, I never saw it coming. The shape of the missing piece did it, I think.
That strangulation leading to his windpipe breaking is so realistically and brutally depicted. I don't understand how they got his eyes that bloodshot red and his face purple. The blood getting trapped in his head and the blood vessels bursting in his eyes look so real! I'm definitely not a squeamish person... but this scene was so brutal that I put myself into that situation and realized what an awful death that would be!
from a safe distance: "Hey Krazy-8, you're gonna have to drop the shard from the plate before I let you go" "Haha okay you figured it out Walter, my bad, i'll drop it" *good ending achieved*

I'm not sure if it was a single scene that got me hooked, but this is a good early scene. I watched the first 2 episodes back when it first came out on AMC and I remember that right away there was just something unique about this show that had me hooked like no other TV series I'd seen before. I think that's partially because alot of episodes end on a "cliffhanger" so to speak, which leaves you just itching to see what happens next...not to mention the great writing, cinematography and acting. Albuquerque and the desert was a perfect fit for the cinematography of this show.
This is the moment you fell in love with the show’s cinematography and story-telling

The way Walter strangled him to death is symbolic of how Walter wanted Krazy 8 to stop living. Even more subtle is how he strangled him from from behind, which symbolizes how he doesn’t want to get shanked with a plate.

The scene also shows that Walter has always been unusually good at anticipating potential threats. It occurred to him to check the plate pieces when most people wouldn't have considered that. That's how he managed to stay alive for as long as he did. Always staying a step or two ahead of his enemies.

This really shows how brilliant Walter really is. While trying to find reasons to not kill this man, he was able to spot a piece of a broken plate missing under distress.
no way
or was he subconsciously trying to find reasons to kill him?
I think part of it was Walt having the sort of mind that needs to follow correct procedure, as best as he understands it. In this case, it was as a self-assigned jailer of sorts. As a logical guy, he understood that everything a prisoner receives must be accounted for when returned, otherwise the prisoner has stashed it for use later.

I love that Walt had a tear run down his cheek when he asks him if he’s going to stab him with the plate. Just adds to the realism. He was both scared and sad. he didn’t want to believe that krazy 8 would do that after bonding with him but now he had no choice and he was sad he had to do it

@@robertsinnerman7804 what the fuck is that
No, I don't think Walt became a cold hearted killer in this scene, he didn't want to kill Krazy 8, but he had to. I think it's when he ran over those gang members. And Krazy 8 wasn't trying to help Walt, he was gonna use it to kill Walter and escape. Walter only killed him out of self defense.
I don't think that plate gets the recognition it deserves for its amazing acting.
He really didn’t want to do it. He had no reason to empathize with Crazy-8. Wild how he transitioned from this to Heisenberg. Truly one of the best shows in terms of pure character development, and acting.
When he realizes the plate is missing and gets all panicky and says no no no and doesn’t wanna believe that the guy he just had a really nice conversation with most likely is gonna try and kill him if he lets him go. Love when Walt gets emotional because he doesn’t wanna do it but knows he just has to. I loved this scene. It was epic. Greatest show ever imo

This single event was the point of no return for Walt. He was a completely different person with a completely different outlook on life after this.
First of all, he now has to live the rest of his life with the reality that he once killed a man. And he is coming to terms with that. On top of that, the gentle, naive Walt of the past was just given a rude, heartbreaking awakening about just how deceptive and evil it was possible for a human to be. That all you have to do is lie and keep a straight face and you can pretty much get whatever you want because the average person will probably be naive enough to fall for your charade, just as he himself fell victim to Domingo’s emotional manipulation.
The psychological effects all of this had on him and the snowball effect it kicked off is almost certainly the ultimate underlying reason he became a full-fledged psychopath by the end of the series
He survived the cartel, only to be strangled by a chemistry teacher.

"WOW!" ~Walter Hanma
This is a great example of good storytelling. The writers could have had shown Krazy 8 secretly pick a piece of plate but instead they had Walt figure it out by puzzling it together. Not only is this more interesting to watch, but it allows the audience to be more engaged with the story. We have to put the pieces together just like Walt. Therefore identifying with him and being more compelled to root for him.
Edit: everyone seems to think they’re more astute than they really are I guess. Because no one has really articulated why exactly this scene is so great. This kind of thing may seem obvious but 95% of people who try to write don’t utilize this basic principle when crafting a story, including those ragging on me for this comment. The only reason I know this is because I do script coverage and get hundreds of scripts of people who think they’re good writers but fail to understand what techniques make a story truly engaging. That is all
Yep! You will have a big enough percentage of the audience think along with Walt, "You know, I would check to make sure that every piece is there..." And then two seconds later Walt goes back to the trash can.
Kill or be killed…plain and simple
ok
Thanks for explaining it, I had no idea
Yeah if only more American tv was like this. They just love to dummy things down
This is such a crucial moment in the show where he realizes what he has to be willing to do and then despite trying really hard not to kill the guy he ends up having no option but to do so. And I think a small piece of Walt died with that guy kinda like murdering a coworker. And afterwards he only becomes more callous towards situations such as these
Hits different w schizophrenia
Remember, no half measures.
You’ve put it into words nicely! I think a part of him dies with every encounter that he has with pivotal characters like krazy-8, gus, mike etc. but at the same time he has also adapted their behaviours as well (in krazy-8’s case cutting the crust off of his sandwiches) which reinforces the idea of him becoming Heisenberg and ultimately losing Walter with each encounter.
My analysis of him is probably obvious but ughh I can’t help it since I just finished the show! c:

I just started watching Breaking Bad for the first time, and i can say, without a doubt. This scene and the conversation between Walt and Krazy 8 were the two moments i fell in love with the show. I know the path Walt goes down. You can't really live without knowing some spoilers, but the reason i love both scenes so much is because Walt is trying so desperately to find a reason not to kill Krazy 8. Walt tells him about his cancer, a complete stranger, and i was literally at the edge of my seat, and i didn't take my eyes off my tv because i knew Walt would kill him i thought that was the part that was quite predictable but i generally believed they had bonded in some way and Krazy 8 wasn't going to try to kill Walt so when it turns out Krazy 8 was gaining Walt's trust amd he was planning to kill him i was heartbroken. I think it was the right thing for Walt to kill him, and i feel like you could say it was self-defense, but Walt didn't see it that way he didn’t want to kill Krazy 8 and as his dying Walt was whispering "im sorry im sorry" because Walt at this point was still a very good man and I love that. Damn It i have tears in my eyes.
This scene was actually improvised. While on break after shooting the previous scene, Bryan Cranston had decided to do an epic prank, so he pranked Max Arciniega by suffocating him to death. This prank was caught on camera, and the directors just decided to keep it in the final cut.
this is indeed a true fact
And then after he strangled him he said “it’s just a prank bro”
LMAO
Strangling and suffocating aren't the same thing. Suffocating involves air not getting into your lungs. It takes about a minute to pass out and about 3 minutes to die. Strangling involves air not getting to your brain and is fatal in about 15 seconds.
Bryan "based" Cranston.
Impressive . That acting with that tear while showing an intent of kill in his eye.
It’s crazy that Walt went from crying bc he had to kill a man in self defense to then murdering a man for hurting his feelings and then bragging about killing his first victim
This is one of the most important scenes in the whole show.
If i was in Walt's place I'd be so dead, there was no way I'd have noticed a missing shard lol
99.9% of us wouldn't have
Wouldnt you have been concerned with his hands anyway? Like punching and choking?
There’s a little part which shows krazy 8 reaching into his pocket but still i would’ve taken it one of two ways:
1. he was reaching for a weapon such as the plate shard
2. he was tryna scratch his balls
But the safer bet would be the latter
my "paranoia" and mistrust of people would be useful :P
Tbf if I was Walt I wouldn’t have fed a prisoner with a ceramic plate
When he retrieved the pieces, I was confused.
After he put them together, my blood ran cold.
My first reaction when I saw it for the first time was that he would kill him and then find the missing piece under the stairs or something. For me the surprise was not the plate being pieced together showing a missing piece it was when Crazy-8 actually pulled it out to stab Walter. I was like oh he did have it after all.

Not a lot of people talk about it but Krazy-8 was played but such an amazing actor, like honestly even I was starting to believe him. Them talking about family, friends, bonding over sandwiches and beer.
Then that slow realization it was all just him pretending, and he would kill Walter without a second thought, it broke my heart man.
Great cameo yeah. Reminds me of the murderer / bad guy in first season of True Detective. incredibly good performance, no recognition
Yeah Krazy 8 was an idiot for plotting to kill Walt after he releases him. There was no good reason for it, he's the one who was going to kill Walter in the first place. Walts reaction in the trailer should've proved to him that this a smart guy that shouldn't be fucked with. Had he just been real and co operated with Walt he could've gotten out of there alive and Walt wouldn't have been a bit more desensitized to killing people.
@@banginbadger75 its a TV show it doesn't need to make sense each seen is written with certain intent to send a certain message or evoke a certain response, 90% of breaking bad doesn't make sense from a criminal perspective or even a people perspective people do things that make no fundamental sense a lot is explained away oh they're criminals they're different but it undermines its overall point, a lot of things that seem crazy make fundamental sense when put into perspective and given context. Breaking bad though its more about telling a story and trying to send a message
The scary fact is, even if it were real there's still a good chance he'll still kill Walt. Empathy does not equate connection. You could be both an understanding individual and selfish at the same time. Compartmentalization is a real phenomenon and is typically used in high stress environments.
@@banginbadger75 He might not have, we don't know that for sure. Unknown to Walt, he was a police informant don't forget, so he's probably not a cold blooded murderer however threatening a persona he had. When he took that piece of plate, he was probably expecting to be killed imminently and having a weapon, however crude, may have given him a slightly higher chance of living than without. When he'd got it and then convinced Walt to release him, he firstly may have felt that he couldn't admit to taking the piece without losing Walts trust, and secondly, may well not have trusted Walt to go through with it anyway. It seems perfectly plausible to me that when released he'd have just walked out of the house and contacted the Police and told them about his cousin dying and they'd do the rest. He knew Jesses name and where his lived, and even knew Walter by name too.
Here, Sandvich
Scenes like these make me appreciate a quote from Metal Gear Solid: "Unfortunately, killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it."
Who says that quote in mgs?
What's interesting about this scene is that Walter White wanted to find any reason to let him go. He did not want to kill him. When he aligned the broken pieces, he knew he had to do something that he didn't want to do.
Whats even more interesting was that this scene was improvised and the actor for krazy eight was jealous of the actor for walt and tried to kill him with the plate!

This has got to be one of the most chilling scenes in BB. You really want to give Crazy-8 the benefit of the doubt and to trust him, and the gut-wrenching realisation that it was all for nothing.
Nah. It was done okay, but people kick and spasm much more when you choke then to death. they do this little dance in your arms
This. Exactly. You want just as bad as Walt does for Krazy 8 to be genuine in his “live and let live” mentality.
I still remember 14 years later watching this and being like “…what the fuck is he doing?” and realizing just as Walt correctly puts the plate pieces together

i love the symbolism of walt desperately looking for the last piece in the bin, as if he's trying to find some humanity in the business he's just got himself into
I like this
it's not that deep lol
@@nasassa299 Well, he just hopes he's wrong so he doesn't have to kill, that's all.. killing is troublesome

@@nikolayswagsky9426 I was replying to a deleted comment Nikolay, I just went ahead and deleted my comment to avoid other people being confused. I was in agreeance with what you were saying man.
I remember reading a book by a man who used to the be the director of the FBI. At one point he talks about members of the mob. There was one thing they all had in common when it came to killing other people:
The first time was really hard. After that, it only gets easier.
That's what makes this lowkey one of the most pivotal moments of the entire series.
"Unfortunately, killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it"
"i do not enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other."
This is honestly one of my favorite points in the whole series. It serves as a fascinating turn, and it shows what Walt was.
This is the exact moment that Walter White became so sorry.
lmao this is underrated.

I didn't know he was such an enthusiast in re-fixing broken plates.He could have just asked the guy nicely to hand him the last piece of the puzzle.😂
He's such an enthusiast, he instead killed the guy who ruined his puzzle.
In this Scene it was never about puzzling to begin with. By realizing that a piece was missing, the protagonist figured out that it must've been taken by his prisoner in an attemt to harm him once he's free. Very clever writing in my humble opinion.

They made a baki reference...
i have to think of the baki animation of this and it's fantastic to see both in contrast to each other
Never been so freaked out by a character having a realisation while putting together a broken ceramic plate. Man that sent chills down my spine the first time I watched it, I never saw it coming. The shape of the missing piece did it, I think.
Stop over analyzing this show it's literally not that deep.

Umm Actually it is. When you pay attention to the details in this episode you can actually see that Walt breathes air. Bravo Vince! 🤓
No shit Sherlock
@@genoob5843 average “intellectual” breaking bad viewer
@@rickym6301 encanto
That strangulation leading to his windpipe breaking is so realistically and brutally depicted. I don't understand how they got his eyes that bloodshot red and his face purple. The blood getting trapped in his head and the blood vessels bursting in his eyes look so real! I'm definitely not a squeamish person... but this scene was so brutal that I put myself into that situation and realized what an awful death that would be!
Probably face paint and some sort of contact lenses, gradually adding makeup between cuts
@@Smoerrebroed no, they really killed him, that was the plan
@@KeksimusMaximus bravo vince you've done it again
the scene was improvised and its just a prank bro
It's not a bad way to go. Relatively quick, somewhat painful, but... I can think of much worse. I wouldn't mind that way.
Breaking Baki 👍
Ah I see you've seen it as well
Need some baki moment
from a safe distance: "Hey Krazy-8, you're gonna have to drop the shard from the plate before I let you go"
"Haha okay you figured it out Walter, my bad, i'll drop it"
*good ending achieved*
