Like Bryan Cranston's Walter White and Jonathan Banks' Mike Ehrmantraut, Todd is brought back from the dead via flashbacks by Breaking Bad creator and El Camino writer-director Vince Gilligan.
As they leave, Jesse spots Neil getting into his Kandy Welding Co. truck and finally recognizes him, causing Neil to comment he'd wondered when Jesse would remember him.
In El Camino, Pinkman crosses paths with Neil, an employee of the welding company. Pinkman's at the house of now-deceased Todd Alquist, digging around for a stash of money that Todd Alquist had stolen before he died. Pinkman knew Todd had the money. But as he soon finds out, Neil, is also after Todd's thousands.
Type of Villain
Mr. White- Todd's last words before he is strangled to death by Jesse Pinkman. Todd Alquist is a major antagonist in Breaking Bad, serving as the secondary antagonist of Season 5 and a posthumous antagonist in its 2019 sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.
Walt pleads to Jack to spare Hank's life, offering his entire fortune to Jack. Hank refuses to beg for his life and asks Walt how such an intelligent man could be too naive to see that Jack had already made his decision. Hank then tells Jack to do what he has to do and Jack kills him with a shot to the head.
Why is Todd so weird in El Camino? Indeed, Todd looks different in El Camino because several years have passed since Breaking Bad. At the time of filming Breaking Bad's final episode, "Felina," Plemons was 24, but he was 30 by the time he filmed El Camino — and was clearly older and heavier than he was in the series.
He hands Ed a final letter to one individual and, as Jesse drives away, we see who it's addressed to: Brock Cantillo. Breaking Bad fans will remember that Brock, played in the series by Ian Posada, is the young child of Jesse's girlfriend Andrea (Emily Rios), who is murdered in cold blood by Todd (Jesse Plemons).
Neil suggests that they do a Wild-West-style duel to determine who will get the money. Jesse accepts the duel and as Neil draws his gun, Jesse shoots him several times with a second gun he had hidden in his jacket pocket.
Hank Schrader: Dead
Every moment of the episode "Ozymandias" is indelibly lodged in the brain of every Breaking Bad fan alive, so there's really no ambiguity here. RIP, Hank.
Despite plans to kill off the character at the end of the first season, Paul's performance convinced the showrunner and head writer Vince Gilligan to keep Jesse in the show. The character and Paul's performance have received acclaim from critics and fans.
The campaign saw the return of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul character Huell Babineaux, with Lavell Crawford reprising the role.
And, just before the film's close, El Camino delved back in time for the return of the show's central character: Walter White, the chemistry-teacher-turned-drugs-baron portrayed by Bryan Cranston. However, the man we saw in flashback is far from the one portrayed in the Breaking Bad finale.
When her life fell apart and Walt disappeared, Skyler lost her assets and moved in with her kids in a small apartment with a job as a taxi dispatcher. It was revealed that her sister, Marie, reached out for a truce, so it's likely that the two reconnected shortly after the series finale.
There's no word on what happened to the White family after Walt's death, but El Camino confirmed that Jesse Pinkman survived the compound siege and that he made it to Alaska a free man, ready to start over. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is now streaming on Netflix.
Keeping and torturing Jesse Pinkman as a slave for 6 months by coercing him to cook meth for him and Jack Welker's gang. Remorselessly killing Andrea Cantillo in front of a tied up Jesse as the latter's punishment for escaping their prison.
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.
Although, in the end, the killer gets proven to be Emma. And in the final episode of The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window Emma stabs Neil in the throat. Whether he knew Emma had a dark side or that she was a murderer remains a mystery. Although, it's safe to say that Neil was oblivious.
The highly anticipated thriller continues Jesse's story, chronicling his great escape after Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and a trunk-mounted machine gun killed off Uncle Jack (Michael Bowen) and the white supremacist army who kept poor Pinkman trapped in a cage, cooking the signature blue crystal recipe on pain of ...
Paul, better known for his role on AMC's hit show Breaking Bad as Jesse Pinkman, was born in 1979 in Idaho to parents Robert and Darla Sturtevant. He has been using his stage name Aaron Paul since he began his career in acting, but as of now, that will be his legal name as well.
'El Camino' Had a Sadder Alternate Ending for Jesse, According to Vince Gilligan. It's good Gilligan went with the ending he did because this original one? Hard pass.
Nope. Fortunately, Pinkman managed to bust out of his meth lab prison thanks to the efforts of Walter White. In the Breaking Bad finale, his former partner in crime returned to Jack's compound, mowing down all eight members of the group – and himself – with a crafty mounted machine gun hidden in his car.
During the original series run, Cranston shaved his head to play White, who is diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the show and loses his hair during chemotherapy. But because Cranston didn't have time to shave for El Camino, he was instead fitted with a bald cap.
The appearance of the actors in El Camino was one of the movie's biggest obstacles. Another obvious example of this is the younger Walter White in the movie's flashback at the diner, where it's rather evident that Walt's bald head had to be created through makeup because Bryan Cranston's own hair had already grown.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie drew 6.5 million viewers in the US on its opening weekend, making it one of Netflix's most successful original films of the year.
