Honestly I think he just thought 15 as an even number was easier on math and handoff

He makes 96 million per batch at Jesse and Walt's rate. If we follow supply and demand and believe what Walter said was true, they could have charged twice that and ended up with hundreds of millions *per month*

Pinkman was the child which Walt never had, so it's kinda understandable that why he was so caring towards him, but as the show proceeded Walt got more insane, so much so that now Pinkman didn't want him to be any closer to him.

Walt was all logic... Except when it came to Jesse... Then he was all emotion

Unless walts cancer got him of course lmao

@@Hans-yo2cq or gus kills him

@@d2_in_yo_mom Gus wouldn't have an issue with walt had walt not had an issue with his ego, jesse, his family, jesses issue with children, gale, etc.

There's nothing sad about that. They were hardened criminals and both needed to die.

"Truly sad that Walt had to kill gus. The two were absolute masterminds and would’ve been able to keep their meth relationship running for decades" That overlooks some essential qualities of Walt. Like his boundless greed and ego. Those are part of him. But Gail could've done it.

Yeah, it never would have lasted. Walt doesn't like authority.

It’s not paranoia, it’s that Walts ego got the better of him. He literally spelled out crucial facts of the case to Hank, at a time when he had resigned himself to quit. Simply because his ego couldn’t handle Gale boeticher being referred to as a genius over and above him.

No he's not cut the crap there, the only reason he wanted to kill Gus later is because Gus already tried to kill him in the laundry, after that he's 100 percent convinced that Gus should be dealt with, I think you guys forgot that Walt had cancer and he's ready to die as long as his money was collected, why would he be paranoid if he himself is ready to die.

I agree but I don't think he looks calm and collected here at all. I think he looks ashamed and insecure and needs to prove to himself he's just as smart as the more powerful man. His ego is his undoing

@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 exactly. Plus Walt knew when his time was up / contract fulfilled, he'd have to watch his back were he to live through his cancer. I don't believe he really felt reassured when telling gus "I'm gonna need some reassurance". He knows just how ruthless gus is.

No.

@@NT9K *YES! YES! YES! OH MY GOD!*

A good script means everything

Imagine if Finger walked in

In another alternate universe, Walt finds out he has cancer, he gets treatment at a subsidised rate, he doesn't have to fear about his children's exorbitant school/college fee, since they would be studying in a govt subsidised college/uni, his wife will be getting a pension after a certain age, and they all live happily, and then the credit starts rolling.

Not a bad idea for an alternate ending you had. And in an epilogue they show them laughing and earning money in a sequence of some minutes like in Scarface.

And after a few months, Walt also comes up with a better flavoring recipe for Los Pollos Hermanos :D

In another alternate universe , Walt never sold Grey Matter , married Gretchen then became billionaire while Elliot sold his shares then became Albuquerque meth king that goes by the name of " DUMBO ".

The show had excellent crew and cast since episode 1. Vince started out on the x-files and his episodes were amongst the best. X-files was a huge show.

It took Gus years to get where he is, it took Heisenberg a couple of months. Everybody in the drug business will remember the name Heisenberg for years and aspire to be like him.

Walter is smarter than Gus whether you like or not. He's the smartest character in the BB/BCS universe

@@Jp19981 doesn't matter how smart any of them are in their own way, in the end what brought down Walter was his own ego and pride after he went thru every measure to make sure no one else could turn him in

Well 99% of the time. Walt still won.

@@michaelmcgee2026 he got lucky, remember aside from Gus and Mike everyone he dealt with was out of their minds in some way which made it so they were easy for him to manipulate and/or take out. Plus every time he thought he won he kept losing his money cuz of unforeseen setbacks related to his actions and/or circumstances and he only won in the end cuz he knew he was gonna die regardless and set things up so his family got his money after he died like he wanted and they wouldn't lose it again, Jessie was free, and the skin heads along with Lydia were all dead.

Only time I found him intimidating is when he cut Victor. Oh, and when he stepped outside to taunt the sniper. That was out-of-character too... Coming to think of it, every time he needed to, the mask came off. Like when he "recruited" Nacho...

Marshall probably would be able to know.

Agree with everything except Gale paying back to family

@@ayushsri2011 well, yeah, it'd be Gus paying them, not Gale. And I'd agree, because Gus already had 'hazard pay' for those of his employees who would potentially end up in jail. Since he didn't kill hardened criminals to silence them but paid them off instead, why would he not do the same with the White family?

@@bloodfang9820 I could see Gus dressing it up as an annual Los Pollos charity fundraiser for the White family and launder it that way since Skylar didn't know who he really was. Fits in with his usual publicity stunts

Nah, his cancer was back so it was unlikely that he would have lived longer in the final season and he made way moar money than what Gus offered him in a year. Killing Gus and keeping Jesse was the right move. Plus the fact that Gus had Gale as an endgame so he would have killed Walt anyway at some point.

@@Swag1ord in the final season and final episodes, walt was administering his own chemotherapy and medications instead of having medical staff take care of it. if he weren’t forced to relocate he could have lived far longer, easily.

Yep Walt speak that all questions in audience mind

@@ethanharmer5151 He gave most of the money he made from Los Pollos to several charities in order to appear as a clean cut benevolent good guy.

thats not what happened. did youw atch the scene? gus deliberately saved hank to get the governments on the cartel. walt says he understands that ad wouldve done the same. the frown is gus realizing that walter is not just some random chemistry teacher, but an extremely smart and capable mastermind in his own right, whos able to see and understand the nature and big moves of the drug world.

Lol I think walt meant that he'd turn them on to the DEA and not Hank specifically

Mike is wrong though. What sets up the conflict is Walt wanting to protect Jesse after Gus' guys killed a child. Possibly on Gus' say so. The other thing that sets up the conflict is that Gus needs Hank dead and Walt desperately wants him not-dead. In this situation, unlike so many others, Walt is actually driven by protectiveness for the people in his life. And it's frankly rather hypocritical for Mike to take such issue with that given he too is so often motivated by the exact same thing. Hell, at the moment he says this he's just spent several episodes being super protective of Jesse, the guy supposedly not worth Walt's protection.

@@eggynack Exactly! These people blaming it all on Walt's ego are delusional, The only main reason for the rift in Walt's and Gus's relationship was all due to that stupid weak runt Jesse, and his emotional tantrums!

@@davedarius7346 Jesse was right too though. Using child assassins is really awful, and killing children is, y'know, worse. Jesse was in the right in murdering the drug dealers. The person who was in the wrong here was Gus. Gus' solution to the problem was either to just be like, "No more kids," or to order the child killed. So, either deep negligence or active awfulness. Jesse could have theoretically entrusted Gus to handle the problem, and that'd be Gus' preferred solution, but Gus had already shown himself untrustworthy on this matter. The cause for the rift in the relationship is that Gus is a control freak and egomaniac who would throw a fit over one of his employees killing a child murderer without his say so. He could have just chilled the hell out, not try to do a kill and replace on Walt or a search and destroy on Jesse, chalk the conflict up to being the cost of employing child killers, and moved on with his life.

@@eggynack Jesse being right in that situation doesn't negate the fact that his actions caused the rift between Walt and Gus. I can understand why Jesse acted that way but I don't understand how people who actually watched the show forget that and then blame Walt's ego for the rift. There are so many things to blame Walter for but that situation wasn't one of them at all

@@dougdoug9223 But Gus' actions preceded Jesse's. He acted super unethically in a way that would invariably lead to a breakdown of the relationship. I'm not sure why we have to lend an air of inevitability to Gus' principals, that he must always have final say regarding the goings on within his organization, but not to Jesse's principals, that child murder is bad. Everyone had choices in this situation. I would say Gus made the worst ones

Bravo

Yeah, but the Feds likely would have caught up to them eventually. Few if any organized crime bosses manage to die as an old man in bed having never served in prison. Still they might have had a very good run for a decade or two before someone critical to their operation got caught and turned or a new cartel arose that muscled in on them. Gus had a good run, but even great strategists make mistakes at times that they can't recover from like overconfidently gloating over an enemy willing to kill himself to take revenge on you.

@@kentvesser9484 Gus was super careful though, and unlike the Salamancas (for example), he had good relations with the DEA and other law enforcement agencies. Hank had nothing tangible on Gus or his dealings until Walt killed him.

Gus turned on Walt first and Walt retaliated. People like to blame Walt for every bad thing that happened but Gus literally tried to have Walt killed and Walt understandably felt uncomfortable working for someone like that.

Yea, but he'd have to let Jesse die, and he didn't want to do that

@@Hankblue Not let Jesse die, he needed to save him. Because Jesse was stupid.

@@mistameff3528 Why do you say that? He didn't need Jesse in any pragmatic sense, if anything he was a massive liability..

@@Hankblue Because he cared for him lol. Thats why he did it in the first place

@@mistameff3528 Well yeah, that was my original post..

Its intentional. Every detail is. The Sopranos really set the standard for attention to detail in these shows.

@Antun Šturlić Gus’ ultimate motivations were for revenge, yes, but the move still made sense in context of him damaging his competition

Gus got revenge but it was beyond that. Either they would all be dead and a good chance of Gus operation continuing even after his death or they will be dead and Gus owns it all. Except for that one loose end of Walter White. Hector was another but a paralyzed loose end who has no resources left to even hope for revenge. Gus was shocked and enraged that Hector would go to the DEA. In Gus mind that was something Hector would never do and he was correct. Had Gus thought a little more about the near impossibility of Hector ever becoming a rat then he might have seen the hand behind it luring him in. Hector had nothing to lose except his family name and would have died beaten by Gus before he would have destroyed his name cooperating with the DEA. Brilliantly played even without Max death at Hectors hands Gus would have still been blinded by the thought Hector has went and ratted him out. The lowest and only move that is completely off the table. I always wonder what would have happened had Mike not been injured and out of the picture. I dont see Mike not finding the bomb he would be so thorough and spooked at the thought of Schrader having what he needs to come after them big time with what Hector could have told them but no way they would leave Hector in the breeze like that if he had. So If he didnt rat then what's going on? Mike would not have been blinded by emotion even though he had a past with Hector it wasnt as scorched earth blood enemies as Hector and Gus. but regardless Mike would have searched everything.

Did you saw it?

@@NT9K You mean in half?

@@ekathe85 No

@@NT9K LOL

Damn, i didn't realize that ! That gus didn't leave him .. thank you feel a little stupid but i understand and liked more this scene now ^^

Well, based upon the dialog, Walt didn't want out after 3 months. In fact, he expressed the opposite. He was concerned that the gravy train would end after the expiration of the contract because he said he wanted security for his family. He was in over his head, but he was so damn greedy for the cash, he didn't care.

Gus asked "what do you want to happen?" to which walter didn't respond as if he wanted to leave. Now, we don't know how that conversation would have gone, but at the same time it's possible gus would want to take Walter's formula and then just dismiss him.

@@boianko Gus would not let Walt live knowing about his superlab and its location
