5x07 - Say My Name

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on AMC's Breaking Bad The methylamine Jesse and I will be taking our two thirds and we're selling it.

Full thousand gallons, not a drop less.

Mike's connection won't buy unless he gets your share too.

Absolutely not.

This deal's going down, but for some reason, I don't trust you alone with the methylamine.

I'm gonna have to restrain you.

You get your five millions, we both do, and he gets his methylamine! Is that true, Walter? Everybody wins.

There.

That's them.

Your play, Walter.

You're on your own.

Looks like you're about 1,000 gallons light here, Mike.

Where's the juice? The methylamine isn't coming.

Why is that? And who the hell are you? I'm the man who's keeping it.

What the hell's this? We had an agreement, right? We got our deal.

So where's the t*nk, Mike? Mike doesn't know where it is.

Only I do.

And you're dealing with me now, not him.

Why don't you just cut to what it is you want, or what you think is gonna happen here, all right? 'Cause we're gonna get what we came for.

That 1,000 gallons of methylamine is worth more in my hands than it is in yours or anyone else's, for that matter.

But I need distribution.

Distribution.

That's right.

So if you agree to give up your cook and sell my product instead, I'll give you 35 percent of the take.

Wow.

Are you kidding me? me this is a joke.

You know how far we had to stick our necks out to get our hands on this cash? And why the hell would we want you? You realize we have our own operation, right? I know all about your operation.

My partners here tell me that you produce a meth that's 70% pure, if you're lucky.

What I produce is 99.

1% pure.

So? So it's grade school T-Ball versus the New York Yankees.

Yours is, uh, just some tepid, off-brand, generic cola.

What I'm making is classic Coke.

All right.

Okay.

So, um, if we just waste you right here, right now, and leave you in the desert, then there is no more Coke on the market, right? See how that works? There's only us.

Do you really wanna live in a world without Coca Cola? My partner tells me that your crew switched to a P2P cook because of our success.

You dye your meth with food coloring to make it look like mine.

You already ape my product at every turn.

But now you have the opportunity to sell it yourself.

I need you to listen to me.

We're not gonna give up this deal to be your errand boys, do you understand? For what? To watch a bunch of junkies get a better high? A better high means customers pay more.

A higher purity means a greater yield.

That's 130 million dollars a profit that isn't being pissed away by some substandard cook.

Now you listen to me.

You've got the greatest meth cook in a-- No, the two greatest meth cooks in America right here, and with our skills, you'll earn more from that 35% than you ever would on your own.

Yeah.

So you say.

Just wondering why we're so lucky.

Why cut us in? Mike is retiring from our crew, so his share of the partnership is available, if you can handle his end-- distribution.

And if you give him five million dollars of the 15 million that you brought today.

Just think of it as a finder's fee for bringing us together.

We have 40 pounds of product ready to ship, ready to go.

Are you ready? Who the hell are ya? You know.

You all know exactly who I am.

Say my name.

Do what? I don't-- I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are.

Yeah, you do.

I'm the cook.

I'm the man who k*lled Gus Fring.

Bullshit.

Cartel got Fring.

Are you sure? That's right.

Now say my name.

Heisenberg.

You're g*dd*mn right.

I gotta hand it to you, Walter.

Hey.

I appreciate the kind words, but I'm out too, remember? I know.

We'll talk.

Maybe we should talk about how and when I'm gonna get my five million dollars.

And we will do that.

Absolutely.

It's just, you know-- Jesse, just give me some time here, okay? I'll need a little help getting things up and running during this transition.

You can at least do that for me, right? Huh? Come on.

Don't worry.

We'll figure it out.

Well, I guess that's it.

Parting thoughts, of which I have two First, as I said, I'll handle the legacy costs out of my end so you won't have to worry about my guys anymore.

Second, the bug.

The DEA will do a sweep.

Can't say when.

Could be anytime.

But you need to get it outta there, sooner rather than later.

All right.

That's it? No "thanks for the five million dollars," no "sorry for chaining you to a radiator"? Just get the bug, Walter.

So, hey.

I guess, uh-- I guess I'll see you around.

No.

Don't think so.

When I'm out, I'm out.

Well, I'm out, too, Mike.

Kid just look out for yourself.

Are we good? You tell me.

Okay, Jesse.

Back it up.

You're good.

Keep it coming.

Straight back.

Slow it down.

All right.

That's good.

Hey, Mrs.

White.

Vamonos.

I wish.

All right.

Let's get this thing hooked up.

Walt What is this? Do you really wanna know? Why are you hiding it here? Don't worry about it.

Who are you hiding it from? I said, "don't worry about it.

" From the police? Or someone else? Someone who would k*ll for it? Why don't you go back in the office? Why don't you go back in the office and let us do this? We'll get it out of your hair.

Oh! What'd you bring me this time? They're bacon banana cookies.

Is there bacon in these? Oh, my God! Just bits.

Just little bits of bacon.

Just enough to make those suckers really pop.

Dan, this is too much.

I'm not sharing those.

Bad office etiquette? I don't give a crap.

They're mine.

Well, they're yours to do with as you please.

Good, 'cause my husband's not getting any either.

How is Mickey? - Don't get me started.

He wants to buy a boat.

I can't even get him to start the lawnmower, and he wants to buy a boat.

Oh, I don't know.

A boat might be nice.

A little one, maybe.

Oh, please.

Where would you even take a boat? All the way down to Elephant Butte? Or Caballo.

It's beautiful down there.

You can even leave it at the lake if you don't want to haul it every time.

We are not buying a boat.

I'll tell you that right now.

And the last one is 545.

569.

Aw, dang it.

I almost got them all at time.

Very good.

But actually, I've got an extra one for you this week-- - Right down there.

Ah.

All right.

I'll let you get to it.

Thanks, Dot.

Young Kaylee's gonna need a second safety deposit box if you decide to leave one more dollar to her.

Mm.

How's the rest of it? Oh, it's empty, as usual.

The families are pretty reliable with the pickups.

Nobody complaining about wanting it all at once? Nah, they get it.

Slow and steady wins the race.

So I guess this is it for a while? Mm.

Don't worry about the families.

They'll keep getting their deliveries.

I know times are tight, but it's for the kids, and your sponsorship would sure be appreciated.

Yeah.

We have a, um, silver level, but the gold and platinum levels really get your name out there on the banners and t-shirts.

Sure.

No.

No, that's not a problem.

No, you call me directly if things change, you hear? Gomie, take a brick to my head if I ever have to make another fun run call.

I'm done.

What's up? Why you smiling? 'Cause the Ehrmantraut warrant just came in.

Oh, baby, now we're talking.

How quick can you get your group together? Two, three hours.

Make it two.

We're gonna nail that son of a bi-- Police! Search warrant! Police! Search warrant! Coming.

Hold your horses.

Search warrant.

Police! Search warrant! Police! Search warrant! Police! Search warrant! How's that restraining order working out for you? Uh, if you want me to read that, I'm gonna need my glasses.

Too bad you had to make the trip out from headquarters, Sergeant.

From out of bed, you mean.

When a cop kills himself, they want a full report.

A single contact wound.

Powder burn on his temple and right hand.

su1c1de, I think.

Tell the wagon boys they can have him.

Yes.

When I found him, he-- he was dead.

Hey! Perfect timing.

Just about to get started.

Uh, you know, if you can get going on that settling t*nk, that would be a huge help.

We left that stuff in there too long after the last cook.

Mr.

White-- - I mean way too long.

Now we have a tremendous amount of residue.

You know what we need to invest in is a power washer.

Mr.

White, can we just take a second and talk about all this? Yeah, yeah, sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um-- uh, look, you know what I think we need to talk about? Is doubling down.

Doubling down? - Mm-hmm.

Cooking 100 pounds a week, not 50.

As in starting a new lab-- A lab that you'll run.

A cook all of your own.

Why not? You deserve it.

You're every bit as good as me.

Well, what do you think? Mr.

White, uh, I think that nothing has changed for me.

I just wanna get my money and-- and get out.

Jesse, this What we do Being the best at something is a very rare thing.

You don't just toss something like that away.

And what, you wanna squander that potential? Your potential? Why? To do what? I don't know.

Well, think.

To do what, Jesse? Well, I'll figure it out, all right? Look at you.

What have you got in your life, huh? Nothing.

Nobody.

Oh, wait.

Yes.

Video games and go-carts.

Mr.

White-- And when you get tired of that, what then? Huh? And how soon will you start using again? Look Look, I know how upset you are about what happened to this boy.

I am just as upset as you are.

Are you? Really? How can you say that to me? Jesus! I mean, I'm the one who's the father here.

What, do I have to curl up in a ball in tears in front of you? Do I have to lock myself away in a room and get high to prove it to you? What happened to that boy is a tragedy, and it tears me up inside! But because it happened, what, am I supposed to just lie down and die with him? It's done! It makes me sick that it happened, just like everyone else who has d*ed in our wake.

What Todd did-- You and I have done things that are just as bad.

Yeah.

All the people that we've k*lled-- Gale and the rest If you believe that there's a hell-- I don't know if you're into that.

But we're We're already pretty much going there, right? But I'm not gonna lie down until I get there.

What, just because I don't wanna cook meth anymore, I'm lying down? How many more people are gonna die 'cause of us? No one.

None.

Now that we're in control, no one else gets hurt.

You keep saying that, and it's bullshit every time! - No.

Always! You know what? I'm done, okay? You just give me my money, and you and I-- we're done.

Hmm.

Okay.

Why? Why do you want this money? Because it's mine.

It's my cut.

But isn't it filthy blood money? I mean, you're so pure.

You have such emotional depth.

No, no, no, no.

You shouldn't touch that dirty money.

I'll save you from that, Jesse.

Come on.

You want it.

You want it just as much as I want it.

And it's not wrong to want it.

Okay? So stay and work with me, and you can make ten ti-- Whatever, man.

You don't wanna pay me, I don't care.

Yes, you do.

It's on you, all right? - I'm done.

No, you're not.

You're not done.

You're not leaving, because if you leave, you get nothing! Do you understand me? Nothing! Jesse! Budget for the current fiscal year for electronic surveillance is 1.

5 million, on par with A*F and the Marshal Service, but still just a fraction of FBI totals.

We're lobbying congress for an additional 1.

41, but we're waiting on action reports to demonstrate we're actually getting worthwhile results.

Our undercover operations reap the most successful actionable intelligence, if you refer to the chart in appendix four.

If ASAC Schrader can tell us about the surveillance man-hours-- Hank? Hank? Hank! I think we're going to wrap this up.

If ASAC Schrader can stay behind while everyone else clears out.

Thank you, everybody.
You know no one wants to see you succeed at this more than me, right? - Yes, sir.

I know how good you are.

I wouldn't have stuck my neck out to get you here if I didn't.

But you're not knocking down doors anymore, Bubba.

You're in charge of an entire district office, and that comes with responsibilities.

I mean, Hank, basic reports aren't being filed in a timely manner.

I'll work on it.

It'll get better.

Yeah, it will, because way too much time and money is being spent on the Fring case, a case which is essentially over.

All this overtime to surveil Michael Ehrmantraut? That's just money that could be better spent elsewhere.

I understand, but I'm not making these choices lightly.

We've got increased reports of blue meth on the street, Fring's g*ng is still operational, and Ehrmantraut is involved.

It's that simple.

I believe you.

But so what? It's one case out of dozens, and you don't play favorites with it just because it used to be yours.

I really think that-- - Don't play favorites with it, Hank.

You got a bigger job than that.

I mean, forget the financial cost.

I hear you're personally serving search warrants out in the field? That was an error in judgment.

Won't happen again.

You're damn right it won't.

I'm just gonna bottom line this for you.

The surveillance budget for Ehrmantraut is now zero.

We clear? Sure.

Thank you.

Clear.

Good.

We'll be in touch.

Yeah? Hey.

So, Ramey wanted to catch up with you? Talk sports and stuff, I guess? Yeah.

Something like that.

No more following Ehrmantraut.

Not worth the financial investment.

Well, it's not like the guy's going anywhere.

He's not even bothering to throw our tails anymore.

He's just living a boring old-man life like he has nothing left to hide.

And none of Fring's crew is talking? Not giving an inch.

You sweeten the pot enough? Zero jail time and an all-expense-paid trip to Maui? Not that, but close.

Nobody wants to bite.

Christ! They're either the most loyal crew in history, or someone's still paying them off.

You still checking bank records? No one living beyond their means.

Nine perps All being represented by one lawyer.

Not unusual in a case like this.

Yeah, this guy-- What's his name? Daniel Wachsberger? He represents every one of these douchebags except for Ehrmantraut.

Can we find out more about the lawyer? You want me to start tailing a lawyer? Like the sh*t ain't deep enough for you already? Hey, Ramey said we couldn't follow Ehrmantraut.

He didn't say anything about anybody else.

Do it.

You're the boss.

All right.

Shall we get started? Now, I know that most of this, or all of this, is gonna be new to you.

But, uh, did you take chemistry in high school? Just basic? No.

Okay.

That's all right.

As we go, I'll be as detailed as possible without being overwhelming.

Yes, sir.

Look, Todd, I-I don't need you to be Antoine Lavoisier.

Uh, what I do need is your full effort and attention.

Listen and apply yourself.

If you do that, then we just might have a fighting chance here, okay? - Okay.

Okay.

Well, here we go.

Slowly.

Steady.

The aluminum helps speed up the delivery of hydrogen chloride.

Gently pour it in.

No spilling.

You're gonna like the Little Schticky, but you're gonna love the Big Schhticky.

For bigger messes like dust bunnies under the bed or picking up after Now The CO2 freezes the liquid, crystallizing it, which gives us our finished methamphetamine.

Now all that's left is to break it up, weigh it, and we're done.

Wow.

This is, um This is complicated.

It's gonna take me a few more times to get a grasp on it.

Oh, yeah.

It'll take a few more times.

I do all right? You did fine, Todd.

You applied yourself.

That's as much as I can ask.

Now all that's left, I guess, is to talk money.

We can talk money once I get this right.

Hmm.

Morning.

Guess what I have.

Cake pops.

They're balls of cake on a stick.

Very nice.

Thank you, Dan.

See? I put little faces on them.

Hey.

Hey.

All right.

Mm.

I'm, uh-- I'm working with a new guy now.

And I think that it I think it could possibly work out, because I'm trying, Hank.

I really am.

I'm trying, but there's this I mean, it's like I don't even exist to her.

Well, yeah I mean, I know she's struggling.

I know, but I-- I-- I just don't know what to do.

I mean, what can I do? Such a mess.

I mean, we-- both of us-- we-- we just have screwed up so much.

I'm just I'm sorry.

I don't Um, do you-- do you have any coffee? Maybe I could-- Coffee? You bet.

Yeah.

You bet.

What, you take, uh, cream, right? - Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Here you go buddy.

Oh, thank you, Hank.

Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry to waste your time with all this.

Ah, no.

It's really - It's You know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Hey, could you excuse me? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Sure, sure.

Tell me something good.

You tell me.

I sweated the guy for 14 hours.

That should be some kind of record.

Quit your bragging.

What'd you get? He's gonna do it.

He's gonna flip.

He's willing to give us Ehrmantraut? What are you wasting your time for? Go throw a net around that son of a bitch.

All right.

Yeah? - Mike, hey, it's me.

Can you talk? - I can.

Great.

Look, there's a small situation with the money.

I don't want to do this on the phone.

Are you available? I can come by in a few hours.

That's not good for me.

Where are you now? I'm at the park with my granddaughter.

Where exactly? - Palomita.

Oh, you know what? I'm not far.

I'll come to you.

You just hang tight.

Yeah? Mike, they're coming for you.

Right now.

They're coming.

Slow down, Walter.

Who? - The DEA.

The DE-- Somebody flipped.

They have, uh, some-- some kind of bank surveillance.

And something about some lawyer.

Someone is talking, Mike, and they're coming for you right now.

How could Mike use that clown of a lawyer? Dan Wachsberger.

He would've had better luck with the law firm of Moe, Larry and Shemp.

Always consult with me before using outside counsel.

All right, Saul.

Enough, please.

Instead of just sitting around here, what can we do? Besides pray that he gets away? I'm open to ideas.

Because if the DEA catches up with him, and he flips, it's good night, John-boy.

No.

No way Mike would ever flip, okay? - No way.

Yeah, yeah.

Never say never.

This is the second time the DEA has confiscated his bankroll.

You know? Jesus, fool me once, right? Look, he won't flip.

But his nine guys will.

Hey.

Whoa, whoa.

It's him.

Uh, Mike, uh, I got you on speaker phone with the brain trust.

The what? - The, uh Walt and Jesse are here.

I don't want Walt and Jesse, Saul.

I want you.

I need your help.

What do you need? I got a go-bag at the airport-- passports, money-- but there are eyes everywhere.

I can't get close.

I need you to pick up that bag and get it to me as soon as possible.

Do you know how thick the crap storm is out there because of this? I told you not to use that lawyer.

He's a hack! - Shut up, Saul, and get the bag.

Hey, Mike, I can get it to you, all right? - Just tell me what to do.

No, kid.

Not you.

I'm paying Saul.

He can do the job just fine.

Yeah, you're paying me, and the DEA knows I represent you, so they're probably sitting on my car right now, hoping I do something stupid.

Mike, I can do it, okay? It's not a problem.

No, Jesse.

Jesus, I'll do it.

Besides, you're out, remember? Mike, tell me where to get this bag.

Hello, Walter.

Before I hand this over, I need something from you.

And what's that? The names of your nine men.

Why? You're never gonna pay them off.

What's the point? The point is, Mike, it affects me.

It affects Jesse, too, and we deserve to know.

The only thing left to do now is leave town.

You understand? "Leave town.

" Wow.

Yeah, I just can't up and leave, like you, Mike.

I've got a family.

I've got people who depend on me.

Yeah.

Good-bye, Walter.

You're welcome! I'm sorry, what? I want those names, Mike.

You owe me that much.

I don't owe you a damn thing.

All of this, falling apart like this, is on you.

Wow.

Wow! Oh, that's some kind of logic right there, Mike.

You screw up, get yourself followed by the DEA, and now, suddenly, this is all my fault? Why don't you walk me through this, Mike? We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Fring.

We had a lab.

We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork.

Oh, my God.

You could've shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed.

It was perfect.

But, no, you just had to blow it up.

You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man.

If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now! I just I just realized that Lydia has the names.

I can get them from her.

I'm sorry, Mike.

This-- this whole thing could've been avoided-- Shut the f*ck up.

Let me die in peace.
