In the final scene, Hank figures out that Walt is Heisenberg while perusing Walt's copy of “Leaves of Grass” on the toilet. The book is inscribed: “To my other favorite W.W. It's an honor working with you.
At dinner at the Whites, Hank goes to the bathroom and while there, pages through a copy of Leaves of Grass that Gale had given Walter. He recognizes the writing from Gale's notebook, and from Gale's dedication to Walt, is shocked to conclude that Walt is Heisenberg.
Each member of Walter White's family, including Skyler and Hank, eventually find out his secret in Breaking Bad.
As the Whites leave, Walt gives his in-laws a DVD of his "confession." Playing it at home, Hank and Marie discover they are being blackmailed. Walt's "confession" states that Hank masterminded the Heisenberg empire and forced Walt to cook meth for him.
It's all my fault. I had it coming,” Walt confesses. Walt isn't just crying because he's ruined the only real relationship he had (both business and personal), but he's crying because he's realized the mess he's made of his life, and those around him.
Crime didn't pay and Walter lost just about everything, including his life. But it was also, by the show's bleak, almost Calvinist standards, a relatively happy ending. It wasn't, as he so often feared, all for nothing – he found a way to get his money to his children.
After Walt tries one last time to intimidate Saul into doing his bidding, his cancer rears its ugly head in a series of coughs that bring him to his knees and let Saul know big bad Heisenberg is no more before he leaves for his new life in Omaha.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
Heisenberg is definitely evil, but he's not entirely to blame. Miranda kidnapped him when he was a child and infected him with the Cadou parasite, which is the source of his powers.
In Breaking Bad, does Hank feel respect/sympathy/forgiveness for Walter just before he dies? Yes. Forgiveness may be a stretch, but certainly some degree of understanding. It's my favorite scene in the series.
After doing a recent rewatch of the show, I think Hank originally obsesses over Heisenberg to get his mind off of his PTSD, and eventually continues to obsess over it to conquer his PTSD. First, the Heisenberg case is used to avoid going back to El Paso.
Even as her marriage crumbles, Skyler permits Walt to take care of Holly and defends some of his actions to her lawyer, who advises that she leave Walt immediately. She later finds that Walt has signed off on their divorce and left the house for good.
He confronts Hank and asks about the tracker; an enraged Hank punches Walt and accuses him of being Heisenberg. Walt tells Hank it would be difficult to prove his allegations; in any case, Walt says his cancer has returned and would probably kill him before he could be jailed.
After a failed attempt to poison Tuco, they manage to escape on foot. Hank, who had been searching for Jesse, spots his car at the house and kills Tuco in a gunfight. Walter is arrested when he takes off all his clothes in a grocery store.
Walt had a host of reasons to get rid of Lydia - she was a threat to his family, which he was no longer able to protect (and she's already shown she has no qualms getting rid of people, regardless of the size of the threat); she was both the distributer of the blue meth and a potential supplier of methylamine; she was ...
It is revealed that Skyler is eventually forced to move into an apartment and takes a job as a taxi dispatcher, having all their assets seized. She still maintains custody of the children, however ("Granite State").
That realization hit home during the phone call at the end of the previous episode, "Granite State." Walter Jr. will not try to understand his father; Walter Jr. will not knowingly accept his money; Walter Jr. will never forgive him. His father was his greatest hero, but became his ultimate villain.
Its distinct blue color allowed Walter White to power through the powerful drug empire and created a niche market for them-selves. After a certain point of time, Walter stopped counting the money his massive revenue stream was generating. His business was booming. Both Pinkman and White became millionaires.
He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul. Kim is allowed to visit him under false pretenses and they share a cigarette. As she departs, he goes to the prison yard to see her off and gestures finger guns. Kim acknowledges the gesture and leaves.
Even though Walter ruined Saul's life and forced him to live a life of obscure anonymity, the desire to live with any attachment to White is all he has left of his previous identity. The show exists in the Breaking Bad universe.
While Walter damaged society more with his drugs, Saul was the worse person. Saul would run over anyone to get ahead. He had it made, and he blew it up for greed…he just couldn't help himself. Walter had funding his cancer treatment to do what he did, then got into deep…
Jesse Pinkman
After "dueling" with a criminal named Neil over a share of Todd's money, Jesse was able to pay for the service and begins a new life in Alaska. He left a letter for his former girlfriend's son, Brock, one of Breaking Bad's most victimized characters, but otherwise didn't say goodbye to anyone.
He is now beyond five years out from treatment and free of disease.” Starting with his very first chemotherapy session, Walter documented his progress in photos. Six years later and still in remission, Walter has no lasting side effects other than scar tissue from the radiation and some anxiety.
The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
