Now alone in the New Mexican desert, Walt is seen putting together some sort of contraption in the trunk of the car he got from Lawson, using the M60, a car battery, and a garage door opener. She then goes about drinking her tea, adding the packet of sweetener that she found on her table. Lydia insinuates that the best thing to do is to kill Walt, which she claims would be doing him a favor, considering his physical condition. As Walt leaves, Lydia tells Todd that they can't indulge Walt's request for their own safety. Lydia tells Walt that he can meet with the neo-Nazis to discuss the subject of the new meth recipe further, asking Todd to arrange for the meeting to take place in the evening. Lydia asks Walt how he knew to find them at the café and he points out that Lydia is a creature of habit and that they used to have this same meeting at this exact spot, the same time every week. He wants to sell them an alternative meth recipe that doesn't require methylamine in exchange for $1 million. Walt suddenly appears in the café and pulls up a chair to their table, telling them he has an offer. Lydia enters her usual café to get her usual cup of tea and meet up with Todd, who awkwardly attempts to hit on her shortly after he arrives. Before leaving Walt stops in the middle of the empty living room and reminisces about his 50th birthday two years ago, where his journey into the meth business began with Hank inviting him for a DEA ride-along. He later drives back to his old home, now abandoned and in ruins, to retrieve the ricin he had hidden inside the bedroom switch plate.

He goes to Albuquerque and then heads to a Denny's for a meeting with Lawson, where he gets the M60 machine gun, ammunition, and car we previously saw him purchase. Meanwhile, Jesse is shown cooking in Jack's superlab, daydreaming about indulging in his hobby of woodworking, only to wake up to the stark reality of being chained to his workstation. Walt learns from them that Uncle Jack's crew has taken over the distribution of Blue Sky and deduces that Jesse is still alive and is now cooking for them. After Walt returns to his car, it is revealed that the "snipers" are in fact Badger and Skinny Pete with laser pointers. As added motivation, laser sights are directed at the Schwartz' chests from afar, with Walt threatening the couple that should they renege on their agreement, his highly skilled and very expensive assassins will kill them both without any hesitation. After revealing himself to them, Walt demands that the couple deposit his remaining $9.72 million into a trust fund for Flynn which he should receive upon turning 18 - and that the money must appear to be coming from them, not from him - to which they agree. “It seemed like the perfect song to end Walt’s last ride into town,” Golubić says.Upon arrival in Santa Fe, he tracks down Gretchen and Elliot Schwartz's address under the guise of a reporter asking for an interview.

If someone uses a song in an incredibly iconic and wonderful way, the last thing I want to do is utilize it again,” he says.įive Revelations From the Near-Perfect Breaking Bad Finale “I thought, ‘Oh dear God,’ this song was in the Departed soundtrack.

Although it appeared in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed in 2006, it’s obscure compared to classic-rock Badfinger fixtures such as “No Matter What” and “Come and Get It.” That is likely to change – the song’s Spotify streams jumped 9,000 percent in the first 11 hours after the Breaking Bad finale, and iTunes sold 5,000 copies Sunday night, according to Billboard, when it has never sold more than 1,000 in a week. “Baby Blue,” inspired by the late Badfinger singer Pete Ham’s ex-girlfriend, Dixie Armstrong, was a Number 14 single, the last Top 20 hit in the British band’s career.
