Walt turned into a whiskey so the cops wouldn't see him....awesome

They had one chance to play the theme song for a scene, and they did it perfectly.

Call him evil, he wil brush it off But call him insignficant... He'll come knocking

“The sweet, kind, brilliant man that we once knew long ago; he’s gone.” Heisenberg: You’re damn right.

You get ONE chance to use the original theme in a series, and Vince Gilligan nailed it

I like how he totally given up but as soon as someone mocks him and hurts his ego and pride.. Heisenberg kicks in

This is probably the best build up to a finale ever. Most great shows have horrible endings, but the breaking bad crew knew how to craft the perfect final episode.

"I turned myself into Whiskey, Jesse" "I'm Walter Whisk"

This scene alone was worth the money spent on Netflix

I wish I could erase Breaking Bad out of my brain and start all over again.

Just finished Breaking Bad for the first time, this is the best scene. Had headphones on and hearing the theme slowly kick in the background was bone chilling.

I love how they finally used the full intro song in this episode. They couldn't have done this scene better

Walt may be a maniacal monster, but at least he tips his bartender well

Walter White is a role model, not finishing that whiskey before he drove. This should be a psa for drunk driving.

"Yes, Walter White was indeed a major contributor to the foundation of Gray Matter. It was unfortunate to see what became of him despite all of this, but it cannot be denied that we wouldn't be where we are today without him." DIRECTED BY VINCE GILLIGAN

Greatest show ever, hands down. Not only bc of the plot, but especially bc of all these amazing actors who played their roles simply perfectly

Just think that this was the point Walt had given up hope, turning himself in. Then, he sees people he once admired basically mocking his intelligence on the company he himself set in motion...and the last bit of ego from Heisenberg kicks in. He just can’t go out like that. Wonderful turning point to deal with unfinished business.

Some guy commented that Walt turned himself into the glass of whisky so the cops wouldn't find him, and now I can't take this scene seriously anymore lmfao

The entire show is supposed to show the change from Walter White into the pure-evil Heisenberg, so for the show's main theme to kick in as soon as Gretchen says that the kind sweet man we once knew is gone, it's the moment you realize the show has completed what it set out to do. Absolutely brilliant use of music.

And with that look of incandescent rage and intention in his eyes he knew (and we knew) he wasn’t done yet. It’s amazing how Bryan Cranston could go from utterly defeated to passionately determined in a matter of seconds. James Ganfolfini would be proud.

He left before his glass was empty - he wasn't done yet.

To me the most chilling scene was Walter laying in the crawl space under his house laughing maniacally, and the look of horror on Skyler's face.

I loved the way Heisenberg was "reactivated" in Granite State. At this point Walt had been in hiding for about half a year. He had given up on his empire, his family, and himself. He was ready to turn himself in and close his life. But as soon as he realizes that if he were to go out now, his legacy wouldn't be as some kind of legendary meth kingpin, but instead as some sad little man who faded out of existence, Heisenberg is "reactivated" to finish the job, and go out like the badass he wants to be remembered as.

This scene will never fail to give me goosebumps bro, I remember watching this scene at 4 am cuz I couldn’t sleep because of how amazing this show is. Truly the greatest show of all time

You know shit's getting serious when the theme music starts playing

When the cops pull up, you just immediately know: He's not there anymore.

Bro remembered he had one last door to knock....

1:31 Loved how they started playing the show's theme song in its entirety.

Playing the full theme at the end of the penultimate episode was the perfect time to do it. It's a way to say that we've come so far in the show and that the last stand is about to be made. In other words, shit just got real

“May I speak to the ones in charge of the Walter White case?”.May I ask who is calling ?” ..”Walter White”. ... 😩😂

It never ceases to amaze me how one little event in the BB universe can lead to unimaginable consequences..like Hank picking up that book, Skylar finding his second phone, and Walt just happening to be there at that very moment in time to see a flash of that interview...none of what happened after would have occurred had the barman not changed channels at that moment in time..the way one little thing sets in motion a chain of events..

2:09 this is the exact moment Walter became a glass of whiskey

My favorite scene out of all 5 seasons. Just when Walt has thrown in the towel and decided to surrender, his ego and pride pull him back for one last mission. Gives me chills every time... Bravo

1:30 the amount of emotions he shows, anger , sadness, hatred and shock...Bryan Cranston's talent is beyond words

Imagine if this was the last episode of season 5, setting up season 6.

It's actually insane how every decision the writers and directors took on this TV show was the correct one, especially in the latter seasons.

Imagine watching breaking bad without any spoilers and reaching this Chilling isnt it?

This show went a long way, from tuco, to Hector, to don elario, to Juan bolsa, to Gus, then finally to jack and his gang and the way it ended was just beautiful.

Anyone notice Walt was at least courteous to leave a tip for his drink before leaving? What a class act! Much like after Mike kicked the hell out of Walt, he still thanked the latter for buying him a drink. The niceties must be observed.

No flying dragon or extraterrestrial war just a a guy sitting in bar alone watching tv and don't tell me this isn't the most bad-ass moments in tv history period.

What gave me goosebumps watching this scene was the theme music playing for the first time outside of the title and credits. The entire run of the show they saved it until this ending scene before the finale.

Remember what Jesse told Hank? "He is SMARTER than you and he is LUCKIER than you...whatever you think should happen, the direct reverse opposite of that will happen."....well this scene proves again how lucky Walt is...he had given up all hope until he just happened to see Gretchen and Elliott on TV.....that gave him inspiration."....

This was one of the only shows that could give me chills in almost every single episode

He had on last door he forgot to knock.

If I can delete something from my memory completely, it would be Breaking Bad, so I can keep watching it over and over again

I’m just glad Walt paid for his drink

A lot of people don’t know this, but This is the last scene ever filmed for breaking bad. They had to do it in one take, as Brian Cranston transmogrified his body into a whisky tumbler, and could not change back afterwards. Truly some monumental story writing here

Today i finished watching breaking And i swear on God This scene and the theme song in the background sent chills down my spine It couldn't have been more beautiful than this

One of my friends told me breaking bad was boring. We don't talk anymore.

Love how when Gretchen says “Heisenberg” and the BB theme starts.

1:30 felt instant Goosebumps ❤️🔥 best show ever created by humankind. Be it casting , dialogue everything 🙂.

The glass is almost done, but just a little bit left...

And thus begins a new story, a tale that embarks on how Walt was magically transformed into whiskey.

This scene really got to me, it marks the beginning of the end.

1:30 In his mind, "I should probably hire the 2 best hitmen in mississippi"

How are some ppl saying better call Saul is better than this...this is unbeatable and have some many wow moments

Vince Gilligan is a genius. He perfectly used the theme for the right moment.

If Walter didn't watch this than Todds uncle he's crew and Lydia's lives would have been spared and Jesse would have been stuck cooking meth down at the basement

Playing the Breaking Bad theme wasn't even in the script. A fan with a guitar recognized Bryan Cranston, and he just decided to play the theme. Vince just left that in. Bravo, Vince

1:20 I never could have imagined bass notes being so badass and making me uncontrollably smile and bop my head like a jedi mind-trick was just placed on me but this scene is too perfect to resist

I wonder if people will watch this show in hundreds of years and analyze it the way we analyze art from hundreds of years ago.

Walter White, channeling his inner Michael Jordan: "That was all I needed. From that point on it was personal."

I can watch this scene every day lol Still can't believe this was the only time the extended was used in the whole series. Loved it

The most dangerous person in the whole world, is a person who got nothing to lose.

Man, seriously, they could not have picked a better time to use the original full theme song. He's in a bar, and he vows his last revenge before making a getaway from the cops. Meanwhile, music straight out of a New Mexico 21st century western is haunting your ears the whole time. God, what a great piece of art this is.

Consider this: he has spent a year in hiding, giving up all hope on his family, and he has clearly lost it, hence he wants to turn himself in. But this little scene on tv of his former business partners reminds him of what he stood for, it brings back all the inferiority complex of being left out, of being under others, tuco, gus, the students in his class. He let his children's birthright strip away from him once, that's why he was so driven to build an empire, even if it were built on a pile of bodies and out of meth money. Now in this scene, he sees this happening for a second time in his life, his work, his work of art, his product still being sold and someone else making a profit off it. 1. Walt is hurt seeing Gretchen and Elliot taking credit for his work 2. As the commentary fades and music kicks in, we hear "reports of his product still out there" This drives Walt over the edge and into Heisenberg mode again. He immediately goes back on his decision to turn himself in and wants his control back. Such a small thing to consider but the writing here is brilliant

Just finished Breaking Bad and wow, what an amazing show.

Sad thing is he really did start off with the best intentions- he thought he was dying and just wanted his family to be financially stable. But he got so caught up in it. The wealth, the power.

We will be remembered as the people who lived during 'Breaking Bad' times.

I feel like Walter just wanted to spite this idea that he was only ever selfish, that he would die a monster. So he got the money to his family, killed the people that murdered his brother in law and saved his partner.

The timing and the way the theme music was used in this scene was just perfect. Gives me goosebumps every single time.

I have watched this part so many times and it still gives me goosebumps anytime I watch it again..

Saved the title track for this scene, genius Vince Gilligan

This is my second favourite scene, after the end scene in crawl space

"it´s bad breaking time". and turns himself into whiskey.

The irony is that it is precisely the same ego who committed such atrocities is also the same ego that made everything right(as best he could).

"Most chilling scene ever" I guess there was a little snow outside

I think three things went on in Walt's mind that made him return to NM: 1. Gretchen&Elliot created a fund for victims of drug abuse. He realised he could use them to give money to his family this way. 2. Most importantly: his pride was deeply injured when he heard the lies pronounced by them about his contribution to the firm. He wanted to teach them a lesson. 3. Finally, he heard his meth was still being produced. He wanted to find out about that, take revenge on Jack's gang and free Jesse, if he was still alive.

I thought nothing would ever beat “I AM THE DANGER.” Then I didn’t think anything would beat “You’re Heisenberg… You’re god damn right.” And then this happens. Absolutely the greatest show start to finish ever.

I think what really set him off was being told “he’s gone” Walt wasn’t about to be told his legacy was just no longer there. His egos to big for that

The way the music fades in…it’s like: “I have ONE LAST JOB TO DO.” Never gets old.

the most badass time to use the soundtrack

Dave Porter's music was the unsung critical background character of Breaking Bad. Not just in the title card but throughout the show. I've never heard anything like it before.

There are a lot of great moments in this show but this scene tops everything. Literal goosebumps when the music starts 🥶

If you pay attention closely on second 48, he is touching the whiskey glass, but at the end you can clearly see there are no finger prints and a tissue left. He clearly cleaned his finger prints before fleeing. This attention to level of details is just amazing.

How the fuck did we get so lucky to have something like this?

The scene that has made me hold my breath the most ever

The restraint to use the theme THIS ONE TIME in the series is absolutely insane.

Why did this make me want to watch Breaking Bad again? Edit: dog, 4.3k likes and I only find out now? Alright.

I had never watched breaking bad. I always assumed it was just overrated. The only reason I started watching the show is because I lost a bet. It was the best bet I ever lost

what gave me goose bumps in this scene is how they briliantly made walt turn in to whisky nobody expected it BRAVO VINCET

I finished this show on 29th September 2023 without knowing the last episode aired exactly 10 years ago.

In a way he got exactly what he wanted

I wish I could watch this series for the first time all over again. I remember getting chills at this scene when the theme song came on. Amazing show.

No half measures Walt. Never...

I don't know whose idea was it whether Vince or Dave to have it used specifically on this scene but to me it was pure genius. Not once the song, as far as I can remember, was used in the series except for the intro and credit, and of all the seasons and the plot that had led to this moment, having an extended cinematic-ish rendition to finally conclude White-Heisenberg is just.. brilliant.

notice he left a tip. Heisenberg is not truly evil.

If i’m not wrong this is the only scene where the main song plays

Technically that talk show guy just saved Walt’s family from going to prison, saved Jessie from being tortured to death by the nazis and allowed Walt’s family to get the money just by reawakening Walt with the interview

I love how walt's ego genuinely never ends in the whole show. He probably had little-no intention of getting that direct revenge on elliot and gretchen had it not been for this tv interview. That means this probably fuelled his desire to get the money back from Jack and the neo-nazis, save Jesse, and then give the money to elliot and gretchen to give to walt jr and holly. All these 'redeeming' acts fuelled by yet again, his ego.
