To provide for his family's future after he is diagnosed with lung
cancer, a chemistry genius turned high school teacher teams up with an
ex-student to cook and sell the world's purest crystal meth. Plot:
After erasing all evidence linking them to the murder of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), Walter White (Bryan Cranston) resumes cooking meth starting a new operation when Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) joins Walt and Jesse (Aaron Paul) as a distributor, although he distrusts their methylamine supplier Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser), a shipping executive with Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, the parent company of Gus Fring's Los Pollos Hermanos. Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) arranges for Walt and Jesse to go into business with burglars posing as a pest control company known as Vamonos Pest, using the business' fumigation tent on random houses as a mobile laboratory. Skyler (Anna Gunn) removes the children from the house as she realizes that Walt is not free from his meth-making past.
Walt, Jesse, and Mike rob a train carrying methylamine, assisted by Todd (Jesse Plemons),
an employee of Vamonos Pest. A child spots them, but Todd shoots the
boy on the spot. Jesse, horrified by the shooting, and Mike, who is
being followed by the DEA, decide to exit the business by selling their
shares of the methylamine for $5 million each to Declan, a Phoenix-based
meth producer and distributor. Walt refuses to sell his share of the
methylamine and cuts a distribution deal with Declan, negotiating the $5
million severance for Mike. Walt then hires Todd as his assistant cook.
When Mike refuses to give Walt the names of Gus's former employees who
receive hush money, Walt impulsively shoots and kills him.
Walt gets the names from Lydia and has Todd's uncle, a former convict with ties to the Aryan Brotherhood,
arrange their deaths. Lydia distributes Walt's meth to the Czech
Republic, making Walt an extraordinary amount of money. Skyler is
overwhelmed by the profit and convinces Walt to retire. During a family
cookout, Hank (Dean Norris) flips through Leaves of Grass
in Walt's bathroom and discovers that it is dedicated to "W.W." by
"G.B." As Hank recalls a conversation with Walt regarding the initials
from his earlier investigation, surmising that "G.B." is Gale Boetticher, he realizes that Walt is Heisenberg. Hank begins to secretly investigate Walt, but Walt discovers a tracking
device on his car, leading him to realize Hank knows he is Heisenberg.
Hank meets with Skyler and asks her to go on record with a confession, but Skyler refuses. Marie (Betsy Brandt)
learns the depth of Skyler's involvement with Walt's operation. Walt
buries his money in the desert. Jesse, overwhelmed with remorse over the
deaths that have earned him $5 million, attempts to dispose of the
money by throwing it in people's front lawns. Police bring him in for
questioning, but Jesse refuses to give up Walt to Hank.
Declan supplies methamphetamine for Lydia's Czech connections, but
she is dissatisfied with the quality of the product. When Walt rebuffs
her attempts to lure him out of retirement, she arranges to have Declan
and his associates killed in an ambush and reinstates Todd as cook. She
remains dissatisfied with Todd's product, but he promises to improve.
Walt meets Jesse and Saul in the desert and offers Jesse money to
leave town and assume a new identity. Jesse agrees to leave town, but
then he realizes that Walt poisoned Brock and framed Gus. Jesse agrees
to help Hank catch Walt. Walt contracts with Todd's uncle Jack to order a hit on Jesse, in exchange for one more cook, to teach Todd how to improve his product.
Jesse calls Walt to tell him that he will get him "where [Walt] really
lives". Walt receives a picture on his phone from Jesse, showing an
opened barrel of money, identical to the ones that Walt had buried in To'hajilee.
Jesse then calls Walt and offers him an ultimatum: meet Jesse at the
site of the buried money, or Jesse will burn every barrel. Walt
frantically drives to the reservation. Realizing he was set up, Walt
hides, calls Jack, and tells Jack to bring his men over as soon as
possible. When Hank and Gomez
arrive with Jesse, Walt tells Jack not to come and surrenders to Hank.
As Walt waits handcuffed in the back of the SUV, Jack and his crew pull
up to the site and take cover, drawing their weapons at Hank and Gomez.
Helplessly, Walt watches as the gang kills Gomez, and he pleads for them
to spare Hank. To support that plea, Walt admits to Jack that the
specific location he gave them referred to the location where he buried
$80 million. Hank tells Walt that Jack made up his mind before the
confrontation even started and Jack shoots and kills Hank. Jack steals
almost all of Walt's $80 million leaving Walt only a barrel. He then
readies to execute Jesse (with Walt's blessing), but Todd convinces Jack
that they may need Jesse alive, to advise them what Jesse told the DEA.
Marie confronts Skyler, telling her that Walt is in custody. She
offers her and Hank's support, provided Skyler turns over all of Walt's
false confession tapes implicating Hank and tells Walt Jr. the truth
about his father. Skyler agrees, and tells Walt Jr. the truth about his
father. They return home only to find Walt hastily packing their bags;
he explains that they need to go. Skyler deduces that Hank has been
killed and pulls a kitchen knife on Walt. They fight, Walt Jr. calls the
police on his father, and Walt Sr. flees. He uses a contact of Saul's
to assume a new identity, moving to a secluded cabin in New Hampshire.
Todd and his gang threaten Skyler, and they demand that she not
mention Lydia to the DEA agents. Jesse cooks for Todd, under duress, and
tries to escape his captivity. However, he is caught, and as a
punishment Todd kills Andrea in front of him. Walt decides to call
Walter Jr., who hangs up on him after accusing Walt of killing Hank.
Walt then calls the Albuquerque DEA office in order to surrender, but
afterward sees Elliott and Gretchen on a Charlie Rose
interview, in which they both deny Walt made any major contribution to
Gray Matter besides the name. The police arrive at the bar to find no
trace of Walt.
Walt steals a car and returns to New Mexico. He coerces Elliott and
Gretchen to use his drug money to create an irrevocable trust in favor
of Walter Jr. on his 18th birthday, and they will indicate it is their
donation to Walt's innocent children who had a monstrous father. He
proceeds to purchase an M60 machine gun and recover the vial of ricin
from his now abandoned house. He constructs a remote-activated machine
that allows the M60 to fire unmanned. Walt then visits Skyler and Holly
and bids them farewell. Walt meets Lydia and Todd at a coffee shop to
discuss a new business proposition. He previously laced the only packet
of stevia
sweetener in the container on her table with the ricin. Lydia dismisses
Walt as she adds the ricin to her tea, while asking the waiter for more
stevia. Walt later confronts Jack and his gang at the compound. Walt
triggers the M60 mounted in the trunk of his car, which shoots through
the wall and kills all the gang members, however Todd survives and Jack
is mortally wounded. Once the gunfire stops, Jesse strangles Todd with
the chain of his handcuffs, finally breaking Todd's neck. Jack tries to
dissuade Walt from finishing him off, but is promptly shot and executed
mid-sentence. Walt was hit by a stray shot from the machine gun and
begins to bleed. He requests that Jesse kill him, as he now truly wants
to die, but Jesse refuses. Jesse drives away from the compound, cheering
and crying with joy. Walt walks to the lab, and smiles nostalgically as
he takes a final look around. He leaves a bloody handprint on a
chemical tank, then falls onto his back with a smile, dead. Police enter
the lab moments after he collapses.
