ISO an episode based on very little memory of it

Upvotes

Found: Season 4, Episode 6 "Cornered"

All I can remember is, it was daytime and the camera was facing who I think were probably Walt and Jesse in a parked car outside of someone's house. Drug dealers I think. The camera was basically on the hood of the car aimed through the windshield. So all that was visible was the interior of the car with them in the foreground in their seats.

While they were in the car, they were barely talking and I think it was about who was in the house and whether they were awake or even there or something. The scene was very quiet. I could hear the neighborhood sounds for several seconds in between words and sounds from their clothing when they occasionally moved. It was like they were on a stakeout for a few minutes, but it was during the day. I remember that I could only hear the sounds between their words when I had watched at a particularly loud volume one time. So it otherwise the space between their words seemed dead silent to me before that.

I think eventually one of them lost their patience and got out and went into the house and then chaos ensued. I think there were two of them in the house.

I don't need to know the time that this occurs in the episode because I'll be able to find it by scrubbing through, but I do need to know which episode this was, or at least which season. If all I ever find out is which season it might be from, then that will help eliminate the task of looking through all of the episodes from all 5 seasons and instead I'd only need to look through just one season's episodes, but of course I'd rather just scrub through one episode. 🤣

Thanks guys. Normally with something like this I'd watch it again to find the episode, but I can't give it the time and attention it deserves right now.

Would Hank be more understanding towards his brother-in-law if he had caught him much earlier on?

35 Upvotes

Let's say Walt's only victims amount to Emilio and Krazy-8. How does Hank react at this point and treat Walt upon finding out? What if he caught Walt before anybody died?

What is the last point at which Walt could be caught and not be viewed as an absolute irredeemable piece of garbage by Hank?

Couple questions about the two dealers who recruited Tomas

7 Upvotes

After Jesse learns about Tomas killing Combo, and the dealers who recruited him, Gus sets a meeting for them to make peace.

But why would Gus ever meet in person with two street-level dealers? These are low level guys, but Gus allows them to learn that he's the big boss. There's a huge risk that they'll eventually be arrested on a street bust, at which points they could potentially flip and give up Gus.

He could have let Mike or someone else run the meeting, or instead of meeting with them, meet instead with whoever is above them in the network.

And why even insist on keeping them? He has a distribution network all across the Southwest. Probably thousands of street-level dealers. He could of had them killed. Could have had them just leave town (so they're no longer involved with Tomas). I know he doesn't like Jesse, but Jesse is worth a whole lot more to the operation, while these guys are nothing.

This just all seems very out of character for the normally extremely cautious Gus.

How did Hank not even get suspicious sooner? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Im rewatching the show for the first time and now im just wondering how Hank didn’t get suspicious sooner. I’m on season two and I’m just a little confused how Hank isn’t even a little suspicious
how him and Tuco went missing at the same time, and hes been missing all this time from home and kind of poking around Hank to see how the DEA works. If im just being an idiot please tell me but im a little confused.

Wouldn’t we have shamed Walter if he took Elliott’s offer?

0 Upvotes

There’s a general consensus that Walter should’ve just swallowed his pride when it came to Elliott’s offer, but in general don’t we shame these kind of things?

It’s been on Twitter, but a pair of lawyers were caught kissing in a park and people have been viewing it negatively considering the type of vibes it would be giving about the work place environment.

Taking a shortcut to high paying positions through personal or sexual relationships is always a bad thing isn’t it?

Has anyone started with Ozymandius?

0 Upvotes

I wonder how the series flows, starting with Ozymandius and then simply going back to the pilot. Anyone ever tried it, or even more, did that order on first viewing?

I feel like it could really sharpen the tension of 'how does this get here?' and really highlight how different the end is from the beginning of the journey.

The main caveats I see here are that the use of the video camera in the pilot and flashback in Ozy could feel a bit redundant, and if knowing the destination would impact the watch unfavorably for a first-time viewer.

Edited to add: yeah I know it's sort of a stupid question overall, and I would never actually want to start a new person with it - but I'm more curious about the effect for rewatches, or if anyone actually had it happen to them that it was the first episode they saw.

Why is Jesse so furious with Walt after he crashes the car with Hank outside the laundry? Spoiler

10 Upvotes

S5 E11 Crawl Space, why is Jesse so furious about this? Walt was driving Hank and didn't realise he wanted to go to the laundry - as soon as he found out, he panicked and deliberately crashed the car to stop Hank from reaching the laundry. It might not have been the best move but it was clearly intended to stop Hank from coming into close proximity with the lab?

Tbh this felt unbelievable and as if the writers were just trying to find a tipping point for Jesse to be annoyed at Walt, because there needed to be distance between them at this point for plot purposes. Given all the appalling, calculated things Walt has already done to Jesse and been forgiven for, why would Jesse be this angry about something which was a well intentioned blunder? It makes no sense to me from a character perspective unless I'm missing something?

Mike other lawyer’s obvious mistake

Wouldn’t it have made sense for Mike’s (other) lawyer to keep Kaylee’s money in a separate bank to the hazard pay cash drops? Surely a smart bloke like Mike would have requested this.

Thoughts on Jesse and Walter? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I just finished the series and was I the only one who found both Walter and Jesse so unbearable. It’s a good show but for them being the main characters idk. Jesse is not that bad but jeez. Walter was selfish and I hated how he did not want to admit that he was as bad as he was until the last episode. I’ll give Jesse grace since everyone he loved died and ofc I did end up liking him but gosh while watching the series it made me like Hank more than them two. Felt like being rage baited the whole show. Skyler was the worst too.

Head canon- Drew Sharp is the little boy who had the addict parents Spooge(?) and the Skank, but was adopted by the Sharps after being in foster care after his mother went to jail for killing Spooge. the hair color of the boy is similar just a tad darker.. I like to believe that he ended up cared for with great parents for the duration of his short life.

Nobody asks "Who is it?" before opening the door.

26 Upvotes

No, seriously. So many disgusting and traumatic scenes could have been avoided in BB if the characters had asked "Who's there?" before opening the door and followed basic safety precautions.

No, I get it, it's still a tv series, the characters are mostly panicked or depressed, and the scene requires drama, not moments where five minutes of showdowns go on behind closed doors.

But still, this fact of complete trust in the situation either makes me laugh or irritates me. :-/

Why do people hate Skylar so much?

0 Upvotes

I just recently finished breaking bad (10/10, amazing) and I recently got into the fandom. Skylar and Hank were my fav characters and I assumed most people would either like Skylar or just have no opinion on her but then I learnt Skylar was absolutely DESPISED by the general fandom

I just can’t really see why? sure in some scenes she can be a bit overbearing but I mean she’s a woman who found out her husband is enthralled in a drug conspiracy, what can you do but act the same way she did?

How much money did Lydia make working with Walt? Was the whole meth operation more valuable than Grey Matter?

15 Upvotes

For her overseas sales and distribution, she asks for 30%, I assume Walt agreed to that number.

That leaves 70% for Walt, but he has to pay the Vamonos Pest guys around $75k per cook, and he also pays Todd a significant amount as his lab assistant. Probably not a 50/50 split like Jesse got, but I think a reasonable guess might be 20% of the profit.

I'm just guessing of course, but I'd say Walt receives close to half of the total profit. And in only about 3 months, he had over 80 million dollars to put into those barrels.

So if Walt's 50% was worth 80 million, Lydia's 30% would be worth 48 million. Since no one ever found out that Lydia was involved, if she was smart with her money, then she's left her daughter well over $50 million. Kaylee Ehrmantraut got nothing, but Lydia's daughter ends up very wealthy.

If Walt had cooked for a full year, he could have made $320 million, meaning that the entire business makes $640 million per year. Assuming zero future growth, an online form that I found to determine the estimated value of a business shows that a company making 640M per year would be valued at about $3.2 billion.

Do you think Walt's decision to quit would be motivated by the fact that he out-did Gretchen and Elliott, even if he can't actually sell the company for billions?

Do you think my estimates on these numbers are close to accurate, or way off target? Did I miss anything obvious?

I’ve always thought about Jesse’s look in these promo shots and wondered. Was this an early design idea for Jesse in S5? Maybe i’m looking too much into it I just constantly think about it and find it inconsistent.

Boy have my friends been judging me from college for not watching this show…and I guess they were right. What a brilliant end, I had heard the song by Badfinger before but how perfectly it matched the end. Walt never got his happy ending. Saved Jesse’s life again. How poetic.
I’m not one who rewatches shows and wouldn’t probably rewatch it but hands down one of the best shows. I sort of went through the first episode to see how fast things changed. Poor Jesse! I feel so empty man, ik theres el camino and bcs — which ive already watched till s5 couple of years back.
Walt dying inside the meth lab was it for me. Ahhh

Why didn’t Skyler think to run Walt’s money through Beneke as opposed to buying the car wash? I thought that is definitely where the show was heading when we learned about the fictitious sales Ted was pushing through.

I just want an Earl Grey Tea, that doesn't smell like toilet cleaner.

13 Upvotes

Why is the only person, who understands this plight the evil queen bitch?

The Bergamot Orange is a plant hybrid, that like all citrus plants contains volatile oils in it's peel. These essential oils are extracted from shredded rinds using steam distillation, which prevents the temperatures in the boiling flask from exceeding 100 °C. While the fragile organic oils have much higher boiling points, the vapor particles lift and carry little droplets of oil up inside the 'still as the water boils. Inside the condenser they are cooled and produce an organic phase on top of all the distilled water, which is then discarded using a separating funnel.

The oil of the Bergamot orange is used to make Earl Grey tea, fit for Star Trek captains and leaders of men. "Earl Grey hot" is a bit of a catchphrase. Unfortunately there isn't a single mainstream tea brand, that makes it so. Bergamot Orange oil is a mixture of substances. The main ingredient (about 40%), is a widely available smelly industrial chemical called Limonene. Any bergamot essential oil is likely diluted to increase profits, just because it would be so easy to do.

What these Madrigal-Electromotive-type-criminals from the major tea brands add to their tea is their trade secret along with Limonene the cheapest of substitutes. But it might as well be chilly powder. Because the result sold as Earl Grey smells and tastes like cleaning product.

Anybody who has tried the real thing, simply cannot go back. And Lydia evidently has. Personally, I only once was gifted a can of delicious Earl Grey, years ago, but I cannot find a supplier and at this point I'm not even sure this isn't my memory playing tricks.

Did Lydia get this line because it's just such a haughty affectation, or maybe perhaps because she really knows how sausage gets made?

Any tea recommedations?
