Teaser / Chapter 1 [0:00-4:25]
Teenagers skateboard in the dry pool of what appears to be an abandoned home. A car pulls up front and the camera pans to show that the property is surrounded by fence with warning signs posted. Walt gets out. He’s got a full head of hair and shaggy beard. In the living room of the empty house the word “HEISENBERG” is spray-painted on the wall. Walt walks down the hall and it’s clear this is a flash-forward scene from the White home. Walt goes to the bedroom and gets the ricin pill from behind the switch plate. He walks back out front and spots a terrified neighbor unloading groceries. He says “Hello Carol” and she drops the bag she was holding to the ground. [0:00-4:08]

On the ride home Hank can barely focus on the road as Marie talks about Europe. He starts having an attack of some kind and runs onto a person’s lawn. He falls out of the car and Marie yells for the homeowner to call an ambulance. [7:33-8:51]
Back from the ER Hank assures Marie there is not a need for him to see a doctor. He makes her promise not to tell Skyler. Hank gets out a folder and compares the handwriting from the Whitman book to something else Gale wrote. It looks like a match. [8:51-10:18]
At the car wash Walter reminds Skyler that their “story” needs to come first. Along those lines he thinks they should buy an additional car wash, as it will take years to launder all their cash. Lydia arrives for a wash. She goes inside and complains that the quality of the meth she’s gotten is only 68 percent. She wants Walt to come back for a few days and make things right again. Walter tells her problems are none of his concern. Skyler walks in and suspiciously notices that Lydia was there washing a rental car. Walter tells her that Lydia is a “former business associate” interested in him returning. Skyler follows Lydia outside and threatens her, telling her to leave and never return. [10:18-15:07]

The following morning Hank tells Marie he’s not going into work. On her way out she sees two men delivering boxes. Hanks tells them to put them in the garage. They leave and Hank starts going through files related to everything related to the blue meth (Gus, Heisenberg, etc.) [15:07-18:21]
Skinny Pete and Badger get stoned at Jesse’s place. Jesse grows tired of their inane Star Trek conversation and leaves. [18:21-21:03]
Jesse brings his giant bags of money to Saul’s office, and sits in his waiting room. He grows tired of waiting and lights up a joint. This gets him right in to see Saul. Jesse says each bag contains $2.5 million and he wants one to go to Mike’s granddaughter and the other to Drew Sharp’s parents. Saul seems uncomfortable with the whole thing but Jesse is adamant. Jesse leaves and then Saul calls Walter. Walter tells him to hang on to the money, adding “I’ll handle it.” The camera pans, showing that Walter took the call while taking a course of chemotherapy. [21:03-26:15]
Act Three / Chapter 4 [26:15-37:40]
Walter shows up at Jesse’s door with the money and asks for an explanation. Jesse responds “It’s like you said, it’s blood money.” Walter tells Jesse to stop focusing on the past. He tells Jesse that he’s out of the drug business himself and says there’s nothing for them to do but live good lives. A teary-eyed Jesse thinks Mike’s granddaughter needs someone to look after him. Jesse thinks Mike is dead and thinks Walter knows it. Walter denies having anything to do with Mike’s death and tells Jesse that he thinks Mike is fine. [26:15-32:51]
Walter excuses himself from dinner and rushes to the bathroom to vomit. He looks above the toilet and appears to notice that the Whitman book is missing. [32:51-34:49]
Later that night he’s still searching their home for the book. He gets into bed and asks Skyler what is wrong with Hank. She tells him Hank hasn’t been to work all week. Later that night Walter goes outside and checks the bottom of his car. He finds a tracking device. [34:49-37:40]

The two cops who dropped off the files ask Hank if Gomez should be worried. Hank assures them he’s fine. As they leave Walter pulls into the driveway. Hank nervously clears some photos. Walter plays dumb and asks how Hank’s feeling. He tells Hank to let him know if there’s anything he can do and walks away. Walter stops, turns around and shows him the tracking device. He says it looks just like the one they used on Gus and asks if Hank knows anything about it. Hank closes the garage door behind Walter and then punches him in the face. He puts Walter up against the door and says “it was you!” and goes through all the things he’s done to cover. Walter tells Hank his cancer is back. He tells Hank he’s dying and that even if he was able to get a jury to believe that he’s Heisenberg, he won’t live long enough to see the inside of a prison. Hank tells him to bring Skyler and the kids to his house and they can talk. Walter says that will never happen and Hank responds that he has no idea who he is even speaking to. Walter says that if Hank doesn’t know who he is, perhaps he should “tread lightly.” [39:33-46:38]

Skyler wonders if she ought to get a lawyer and Hank tells her that they need to get her story onto the record first.

She asks “Is this it?” and Walt asks if that makes her happy. Walt says he’ll give himself up if she promises to keep the money and pass it to their children. She isn’t convinced Hank has a case yet and thinks it will be harder to keep the money if he turns himself in. Skyler suggests their best move is to “stay quiet.” [27:34-32:59]
Still dissatisfied with the unacceptable purity of the meth she’s getting, Lydia asks for a meeting with Declan. Declan’s men bring her blindfolded to the underground lab. Lydia criticizes the conditions, and points out that Todd was able to make higher quality meth than what Declan’s people are producing, but Declan responds he wasn’t able to work with Todd. Declan gets a message that there’s a problem above ground. Telling Lydia to stay put, Declan and his meth cook go up to the surface and Lydia sends a message on her phone.

At home, while Walt applies cover-up to the black eye Hank gave him, he hears Walter Jr. asks for permission to go help Marie with a computer problem. Realizing this is a ploy to lure his son out of the house, Walt reveals to Walt Jr. that his cancer has returned. With teary eyes, Walt Jr. tells his father that he would prefer to stay home with his father in that condition. [9:41-13:18]
Hank arrives home and Marie chews him out for not telling the DEA about Walt’s true identity. [13:18-14:12]

Act Two / Chapter 3 [14:57-33:32]
The Whites and the Schraders meet at a Mexican restaurant. Without admitting anything, Walt asks Hank to discontinue his investigation as this would devastate his son and destroy his family. Marie coldly tells Walt to kill himself, as Walt’s actions would die with him, while Hank suggests that Walt would not get off that easily. After they reach this impasse, Walt places a DVD on the table before leaving with Skyler. [14:57-20:33]
At the Schrader residence, Hank and Marie watch the DVD. In the DVD, Walt claims that Hank had a business partner named Gustavo Fring, and that Hank sold Walt into servitude to him. Eventually Hank and Gus had a falling out, and Gus put a hit on Hank. Left wounded by this failed assassination attempt, Hank got Walt to pay his medical bills, amounting to over $177,000. Walt further claims that Hank was bent on revenge and worked with Hector “Tio” Salamanca to kill Gus, using the bomb that was built by Walt to do so. Walt references Hank “taking” their children and says that when he recently tried to quit Hank punched him in the face. After the video ends, a shaken Hank asks Marie about Walt’s statement about paying Hank’s medical bills. Marie has to admit that she took money from Skyler, thinking it was proceeds from Walt’s gambling. Hank is crushed and tells Marie that connection is the final nail in his coffin. [20:33-26:19]
Saul brings Jesse to the desert for a meeting with Walt. Saul and Jesse catch Walt up on what they know–that Hank knows some things but hasn’t told the DEA. Walt informs Jesse that Saul can contact someone that specializes in creating new identities. He advises Jesse to start over and have a better life–a legitimate job, a wife, a family. Jesse is skeptical and confronts Walt about his true motivations, telling him to stop “working him.” He confronts Walt, demanding that he admit that he’s planning to kill Jesse just like he killed Mike if Jesse refuses the offer to leave town. Jesse claims that Walt does not actually care about him, and only wants him to leave for his own goal of derailing Hank’s investigation. Walt embraces Jesse, who cries on his arms. [26:19-33:32]

Walt goes to the carwash and tells Skyler, “It worked. We’re fine.” [33:32-34:35]

In his office, Saul explains the work of the disappearer who will give Jesse a new identity far from Albuquerque. He emphasizes to Jesse that there’s no turning back now. Jesse gives the go-ahead and the meeting is set for one hour. A nervous Jesse lights up a joint and a furious Saul tells him the guy won’t take him if he’s high. Jesse puts out the joint but won’t give back the rest of his bag, putting it back in his pocket. Jesse then asks if he is allowed to pick wherever he desires, in which Saul suggests him to head to Florida, but Jesse ultimately decides to go to Alaska. Saul sends him with Huell and a bag of cash to claim a new identity in Alaska. [36:09-40:09]
Waiting for his pick-up by the side of the road, Jesse goes through his pockets, but can’t find his bag of marijuana. Jesse realizes Huell must have lifted his bag back in Saul’s office and pieces together that Walt must have had Saul instruct Huell to also lift the ricin cigarette from his person months prior at the time Brock was poisoned. Just as Saul’s guy pulls up Jesse picks up the bag of money and walks away. [40:09-41:44]
Act Four / Chapter 5 [41:44-46:38]
Jesse bursts into Saul’s office and begins savagely beating him. Saul tries to get his gun from his cabinet but Jesse steals it and uses it to threaten him. Jesse accuses Saul of lifting his cigarettes so that Walt could use the ricin to poison Brock. Saul confesses to that part, but says he had no idea what Walt was up to at the time. Jesse leaves with Saul’s car and gun. Saul calls Walt to warn him. [41:44-43:40]
After getting Saul’s message, Walt rushes to the car wash trying to raise Sklyer’s suspicions. He walks to the soda machine in the lobby, claiming to be investigating a broken latch, and retrieves his thirty-eight snub-nose revolver. He then tells Skyler that he needs to pick up a prescription and leaves the car wash. [43:40-46:02]
Back at the White residence, Jesse swerves Saul Goodman’s stolen car into the front lawn. He gets out of the car and grabs a tank of gasoline from the trunk. He then walks up to the front door and kicks his way in, furiously pouring gasoline all over the house. [46:02-46:38]

Teaser / Chapter 1 [0:00-4:16]
Walt parks his car down the street from his house just after collecting his revolver from the car wash. Saul’s car is parked in his driveway and the house door is open. With his gun drawn, Walt jumps the wall to the backyard and cautiously enters the house from the back entrance. The living room smells like gasoline and there’s a gas can lying on the floor. He notices that the carpet is soaked in gasoline, but there are no signs of Jesse. Walter checks every single room in the house to make sure, he then walks outside and investigates the interior of Saul’s car. There is used meth on top of a CD. Jesse’s been using, but mysteriously changed his mind before torching the house. [0:00-3:59]
Act One / Chapter 2 [4:16-21:11]
A cleaning crew is cleaning the carpet of the White house and a locksmith replaces the locks. Walt is insistent the locks remain exactly the same (surely to cover up what has happened from his family), and that the cleaning crew remove all traces of the gasoline scent. The cleaning crew says the scent cannot be removed because it has soaked too deep. Huell comes by to take back Saul’s car, and Walt tells him to stop by Walter Jr.’s school to make sure he’s okay. Walt tries calling Jesse, but he doesn’t answer, so he leaves a voice message telling him that they should talk about what happened. The crews leave and Walt ponders for a while before soaking his clothes and car in gasoline. [4:16-8:35]
Skyler returns and Walt tells her and Walter Jr. a story about a malfunctioning gas pump, saying that he unintentionally left his clothes soaked with gasoline lying on the living room floor, causing the bad smell. Walt Jr. urges his father to be truthful about the spill, thinking his cancer has caused him to blackout again. Walt suggests the family go to a hotel temporarily to escape the fumes. [8:35-12:49]
Outside the hotel, Walt gets in Saul and Kuby’s car to get an update on Jesse. They tell him they can’t find him. Saul suggests Jesse be taken out to pasture like the rabid dog Old Yeller. Walt angrily rejects the idea, and tells Saul he doesn’t want to hear this type of suggestion again. [12:49-15:44]
Back inside the hotel room, Walt tells a slightly drunk Skyler that he had been getting ice in the in the lobby, but Skyler was spying on him and saw Walt talking to Saul. She tells Walt she wants the truth about the gasoline and why about Walt’s secret conversation with Saul. Walt reluctantly tells Skyler that Jesse found out about something that he did and got angry, prompting him to attempt to burn their house. Skyler is shocked, saying that she knew that someday, somebody would come to their residence trying to hurt them. Walt tries to dismiss her fears, insisting that Jesse changed his mind and explaining that Saul is working on finding Jesse so they can talk and make peace. Skyler isn’t convinced by Walt’s talk. She tells Walt he needs to “deal with” Jesse given the risk he poses to their family. [15:44-21:11]
Act Two / Chapter 3 [21:11-30:35]
Hours prior to these events, Jesse drives Saul’s car and parks it in Walt’s driveway. He snorts a line of meth from the CD, grabs the gas can from the trunk, kicks the door down and pours gasoline all over the furniture and carpet of the White family home. He takes a lighter from his pocket and is about to torch the place when Hank enters the room and points his gun at Jesse. Hank orders Jesse to calm down and put out the lighter so they can talk. Jesse yells that Walt cannot just keep getting away with things, mentioning that he poisoned a child just to accomplish his needs. Hank suggests that there is a better way–he and Jesse can work together to take down Heisenberg once and for all. Hank takes Jesse to his car and they drive off just as Walt parks his car at the end of the street, barely missing Hank’s departure. [21:11-24:34]
Marie meets with her therapist, Dave, and talks about poisoning a “family friend” who betrayed their trust and endangered many lives. Dave tries to get details but Marie refuses. [24:34-27:54]
When Marie returns home, she notices two of her bags ready waiting for her at the entrance. Hank urges her to leave because he is dealing with something that Marie may not like. After asking Hank what’s going on, he tells her that he got Jesse to help him take Walt down, and he is sleeping in the other room. Upon learning this is bad news for Walt, Marie decides to stay and do what she can to help. Jesse’s cellphone rings inside Hank’s pocket, but he doesn’t answer. He listens to the voicemail shortly after and discovers a message from Walt, asking Jesse to meet with him. [27:54-30:35]

Late that night, Walter Jr. finds his father sitting by the hotel’s pool deep in thought. Walt stresses to his son that going to beat cancer again, and they hug. Walt Jr. heads back to his hotel room as Walt decides to leave Jesse another voice message. [30:35-33:06]
The following morning, Jesse wakes up, now slightly more sober, and sees Marie who asks if he wants coffee. He finds Hank and Gomez in the living room setting up a video recorder to get a confession from Jesse. After showing some initial concern to their approach, Jesse spills the whole can of worms–on everything from the rival dealers to the murder of Drew Sharp. Gomez tells Hank he believes Jesse, but they need solid proof to convince the rest of the office about Walt, since all they have until now is the word of a junkie. The three sit at the table to decide their next move. Hank reveals the second voice message left by Walt during the night, asking Jesse to meet him the next day at noon at the plaza. Hank asks Jesse to wear a wire and meet Walt, so they can finally get some concrete evidence on his criminal activities. Jesse is fearful about what Walt is capable of but agrees to wear a wire when Hank explains there is really no other way. When Jesse goes to the bathroom Hank makes it clear to Gomez that he couldn’t care less if Jesse is killed in the process of busting Walt. [33:06-41:05]
Act Four / Chapter 5 [41:05-46:30]
At the meeting location, Hank tapes a wire to Jesse and sends him on his way. The place is open and public. Walt is sitting on a bench in the middle of the plaza. As Jesse walks toward where Walt is sitting, he sees a hulking man staring at him. Worried that he’s working Walt, Jesse changes direction and heads for a pay phone. He calls Walt and tells him the meet is off because he saw what he was walking into, and now he is going to kill Walt. Jesse then walks off as a furious Hank picks him up on the next corner, complaining that Jesse blew up their last chance to get Walt. But Jesse tells him he has a plan to attack Walt “where he really lives.” Back at the plaza, Walt gets up from the bench and passes by the hulking man, who in the end was not associated with him at all–he was just watching his daughter play in the park. Walt gets in his car and calls Todd, telling him, “I think I might have another job for your uncle.” [41:05-46:30]

Later Todd takes Lydia aside and apologizes, saying he thinks he let the product get too hot. He thinks he can improve the color and quality, and makes an immature move on her which she deftly fends off. At this point, Todd gets a call from Walt telling him that he wants his uncle to take out Jesse. [0:00-5:56]
Act One / Chapter 2 [6:13-17:11]
Hank and Gomez meet after the failed sting and discuss options. Hank says that Jesse has a plan to get Walter, but Gomez doubts Jesse is able to come up with something useful. They approach him in the car. Jesse tells them that they need solid evidence of Walt’s criminal activities, but Walt got rid of any possible evidence linked to him, except for one thing–his money. If they can find the money, there is nowhere for Walt to run. Gomez asks if Jesse knows where the money may be, Jesse answers that he doesn’t–but there is someone who may know. [6:13-7:47]
At the Schrader home, Gomez tells Hank that Huell has been taken into witness protection to be interrogated about the money. Gomez is worried that maybe the guy will call for a lawyer, but Hank believes that he won’t, under the circumstances. Hank reaches in to a bag and pulls out a piece of bloody meat he got at the grocery store. He dumps it on the floor and tells Jesse “you’re up.” [7:47-9:08]
Hank and Gomez go to the DEA safe house where they are keeping Huell. Hank tells him that he knows he won’t spill the beans on Walt, but says he’s there because his life is in danger. Hank says Saul gave up Huell to Walt and that he’ll be after him soon. He shows Huell a cell phone picture that appears to be a dead Jesse with his brains blown out. The previously stoic Huell freaks out and tells Hank about collecting the money for Walt. He tells him where he got the barrels, how many barrels he got and where he and Kuby got the rental truck. [9:08-14:05]
Walt meets with Jack and Todd about taking care of Jesse. They say the only way they’ll kill Jesse is if Walt agrees to cook for them one more time. Walt reluctantly agrees. Walt doesn’t know where Jesse is, but has an idea about how to lure him out. [14:05-17:11]
Act Two / Chapter 3 [17:11-23:09]
Walt goes to see Andrea and Brock. He tells her that he’s worried about Jesse. He thinks Jesse is using again and can’t seem to track him down. Andrea leaves Jesse a voicemail telling him she’s with Walt and that he should call her. Walt then leaves and gets in his car. He calls Kenny sitting in a car next to Andrea’s house, telling him to look for Jesse at Andrea’s and reminds him to kill Jesse quickly and to take him away from there before Andrea or Brock can see it. [17:11-21:40]
Hank intercepts the voicemail from Andrea, muttering “nice try” to himself. Hank tells Gomez that the rental place no longer places GPS chips in their vehicles. Gomez thinks they might be at a dead-end, but Hank reminds him that Walt doesn’t know the trucks don’t have GPS. [21:40-23:09]
Act Three / Chapter 4 [23:09-35:30]
Saul shows up at the car wash, banters with Skyler and Walt Jr., and then talks to Walt outside. He tells Walt that Huell is missing, and is concerned at what this might mean, leading him to wear a bullet proof vest. Skyler watches them talk from inside the car wash. After Walt comes back inside, Skyler asks if they had any progress, and Walt gives her a vague reply. A few moments later, Walt receives a picture message of a barrel full of cash buried in the dirt followed by a phone call from Jesse. Jesse claims he’s going to burn everything–the one in the picture and the six others. [23:09-27:22]
Walt in a major panic jumps in his car and races to the stash site in the desert. Jesse says he’s going to burn $10,000 for every minute Walt’s not there and will burn it all if Walt hangs up to try and get back-up. Jesse keeps Walt on the phone as he drives to the place he buried his money. Walt becomes more defensive and more enraged at Jesse. He rationalizes his poisoning Brock in order to get Jesse to help him. And he reminds Jesse that he’d Emilio and Krazy-8 and the two drug dealers to protect Jesse. [27:22-30:39]
Once Walt arrives at the location where he buried the money, Jesse is no longer on the other end of the line and he doesn’t see anybody. Walt realizes he’s been lured into a trap, and quickly takes the battery out of his phone to disable the tracking signal. He sees a car approaching and calls Jack. He says he’s in danger and gives Jack the coordinates. Jack and his men immediately start grabbing weapons and loading up. While on the phone Walt sees that Hank and Gomez are with Jesse, and calls Jack again to tell him, “Don’t come.” Hank arrives on the scene, and yells at Walt to show himself. [30:39-35:30]
Act Four / Chapter 5 [35:30-45:29]
After a few minutes Walt walks out and gives himself up. Hank puts him in cuffs and reads him his rights. Walt calls Jesse a coward and Jesse spits at Walt. Walt then while handcuff pushes Jesse against the truck. Hank places Walt in Gomez’s truck and tells Gomez he should ride with Jesse in Walt’s car to keep them separate. The plan is for them to bring in a team and find the money. Hank calls Marie to tell her that he has Walt under arrest. She is overjoyed and a emotional. He assures the next few weeks will be tough but thinks they’ll get through everything. Just then Hank sees two vehicles arrive at the scene. It is Jack, Kenny and Todd, along with several other well-armed men. Handcuffed inside Gomez’s police car, Walt screams at Jack to stop, but nobody can hear him. Jack and his men quickly get out of their vehicles and draw their weapons. Hank and Gomez pull their guns and scream that they are police. Jack asks them to prove it by showing a badge. All the while Walt continues to yell at Jack’s men not to shoot. For several tense moments the two sides stand with weapons drawn. Jesse in Walt’s car passenger seat looks ready to bail. Finally, Jack and Kenny exchange glances and their gang opens fire on the agents. Hank and Gomez return fire and a huge firefight ensues. Walt is forced to seek shelter on the floor of the vehicle.
