December 2. 01. 2Synopsis: Jesse is trying to sell his house and is surprised to hear that Walt went and met Tuco. They go meet Tuco in a junk yard and Walt boldly promises four pounds of meth. Jesse is furious as he can’t possibly get enough cold medicine which supplies their pseudoephedrine. Walt announces that they will use methylamine instead but that’s the one item Jesse can’t get legally on a large shopping spree. So they steal it using thermite to break the lock on a warehouse. Meanwhile at Skyler’s baby shower Marie presents her with a white gold tiara. Skyler returns it and finds out about Marie’s shoplifting. The Good: This is of course a bizarre end to season one and was never intended to be so. The writers strike of 2. There was no ambiguity about the presentation of Tuco this episode. The unhinged lunatic beats his henchman down for simply speaking when he wasn’t spoken to. It leaves Jesse and Walt in no doubt that they are in danger of a similar fate one day if they ever displease him. Tuco’s violence also seems to put the full stop on a debate which Walt was having with the world throughout the episode. We open proceedings with a school meeting about the stolen chemistry equipment and Walt brushes it off to fondle Skyler. They have sex in their car afterwards, a thrill which Walt attributes to it being illegal. Later Hank offers him a Cuban cigar and Walt ponders aloud if maybe one day certain drugs will be legal (as meth is) and hence make his current behaviour legitimate. Then later Skyler tells him about Marie’s shoplifting and he points out that sometimes people do things for their family which society frowns on. Walt’s attempts to justify his behaviour come to a screeching halt in the person of Tuco. Walt can hardly ignore the savage beating or explain it away. He is involved in a business run by immoral people and he can’t escape being one himself. I enjoyed the ways in which his success was blinding him to the consequences of his actions. He was glazed over during the school meeting despite the fact that he was the cause of all of it. His decision to steal the methylamine was pretty reckless and Hank’s talk of how bad meth really is had to be ignored less it settle on his conscience. Marie’s behaviour seems to be set up as a kind of testing ground for the rest of the family. How will they react to one of their own breaking the law like this? How will Walt respond and what will he take from other people’s reactions? The scenes which built this story were pretty good. The video of Skyler’s baby shower was beautifully executed (see Best Moment) and Marie was amusingly embarrassing. Even funnier was Skyler’s tactics to get out of the “dank store room” she was held in at the Jewellery store showing us she is quite capable of telling lies when she needs to. Dr Delcavoli sounded very much the professional as he encouraged Skyler in her desire to seek alternative treatments without endorsing any of them. Walt’s decision to use this against Skyler to sneak away to cook meth was typically resourceful (and justifiable, right Walt?). The methylamine theft gave us two quintessential Breaking Bad moments. First Jesse yelling “Yeah science!” when Walt tells him that they can get around the bottleneck in their production and then the shot of them slowly carrying a heavy barrel past the security guard locked in his porta potty. The Bad: I wasn’t entirely happy with Walt’s decision to steal the methylamine himself. I know his experience with Tuco has emboldened him but it didn’t seem wise when surely he could have paid some thieves to take the risks for him? Jesse said he had run out of money. What about Walt’s half? The Unknown: The first junk yard scene was a lot of fun. Walt again shows his complete ignorance of criminal matters by picking somewhere out of public view. Jesse dresses him down pointing out that by meeting in public Tuco wouldn’t be able to kill them and steal their meth which given their track record he might well do. Having set that dynamic up though it made me less convinced when Tuco not only treats them with respect but acquiesces to Walt’s demands for full payment. It’s hardly the most inconsistent portrayal of a character but it feels like the writers arbitrarily decide when Tuco will be reasonable and when he will be insane. I suppose his erratic behaviour is his character but still, it’s convenient. Best Moment: After Marie and Walter Jr play silly comedy with the baby shower video they turn the camera on Walt. The idea behind the video is that they will show it to baby Holly when she is twenty years old. Walt straightens up and takes the moment seriously and says he is proud of her and “I think about you all the time.” The statement gets “Aws” from the room but is deeply moving given that he will likely be dead by the time she sees this. He then seems to realise this by adding that wherever she goes in life her family will love her. It was so perfectly constructed to get sympathy from you for Walt and to show you the emotional context he uses to justify his actions. The Bottom Line: Future generations won’t care that this was the season finale. They will just click on the next episode and get on with the story. However for the few for whom it was a finale it is slightly annoying to have so many threads hanging. The episode is filled with good scenes which seem to fit the darkly comic tone of the early episodes which the last two moved away from (in very different ways). Breaking Bad is a show with huge promise and it’s hard to see many viewers not wanting to see what happens next. Add your comments on this episode below.
