re: Breaking Bad S5E15 9/22 "Granite State"

How do yall think walt gets from NH back to NM?

What about the ricin being for Ted? I know he has not been mentioned but he still is a loose end unless I missed something.

That the blue meth had resurfaced? I didn't hear it, but I only watched it once. I thought they just said the meth stretched across the country and into Europe.

That's all they said. Never said it was being made again.

And I didn't hear that part either, although others have mentioned it.

In any event, Walt read stacks of newspapers during his seclusion. The interview, close behind the talk with Flynn, may have prompted him to act on information he already had, i.e. Andrea dead, blue meth on the street again, etc.

Dumb side Q: why did Saul still feel the need to go on the lam?

1. It's publicly known he was Walt's attorney.

2. He can't find Huell and thinks he might talk.

watch that interview again

I guess Walt could infer that the nazis are making the blue meth from that question.

He knows they're making it. He knows they are using Jesse to make it. He knows Lydia is involved due to the Europe reference.

My prediction. Walt poisons Lydia, wrecks shop on the nazis, frees Jesse (his only remaining "family"). Walt offers Jesse and Brock the money if he'll find some way to get half to Walt's family. Walt has a blood hacking exhaustion induced collapse in the room with all the barrels. Jesse says frick you and leaves him to die with all his money (or calls in DEA to seize it), reinforcing the worthlessness of all of Walts endeavors.

Plausible and fitting. I have some questions about the money - obviously Jack is in charge of it (Todd doesn't care - he wants to be the next Gus/Walt), and the crew didn't seriously question his authority to give Walt about $11 million - so, he certainly bonused out the crew for about $1 million each - to keep them happy. But that would still leave about 60 to 65 million, after expenses, from Walt's stash alone, in Jack's custody. They've had at least a couple of cooks with the remaining methylmine - at roughly $2 million a batch - if Lydia is paying the same for Todd/Jesse's blue batches - $40,000 a pound. And maybe they're up to 3 or 4 batches a week, heck, there could be more money in the stash than they took from Walt. I'm not sure how much they could make with the remaining precursor.

Back to your ending scenario, though, - What if Walt sincerely apologizes for everything - Jane, Brock, the whole thing, admits he was wrong, then dies in front of Jesse after a coughing fit or heart attack (or perhaps shoots himself)?

What does Jesse do, then, if Walt's last request was for Jesse to take half the money, raise Brock, establish a recovery center with Jane's name on it, and get the other half to Walt's family, somehow?

Does he still walk away from $60 million at that point?
