Summary

Teaser

Jack, Kenny and Lydia observe the final stage of Todd's cook at Jack Welker's Compound. Todd measures the meth at 76% purity, but Lydia is unimpressed and complains that the product does not bear the signature color of Blue Sky. Later, Todd brings her tea and says he can get better at cooking with practice. Realizing that Todd is too close to her, Lydia says that she needs to catch a flight. As she walks away, Todd longingly contemplates the lipstick mark she left on the mug. Just then, he receives the phone call from Walt, requesting Jack's services for "another job". Walt divulges the name of the target: Jesse Pinkman.

Act I

Gomez listens to Jesse's plan

Hank and Gomez discuss their options after the failed sting. Jesse tells them that they need solid evidence of Walt's criminal activities, but he got rid of all such evidence except one thing: his money. Jesse admits he doesn't know where the money is, but there may be someone who does. At the Schrader residence, Gomez brings a piece of meat and some new information: Huell has been taken into witness protection. Gomez is worried that Huell will contact Saul; if he does, Gomez will have to stop the investigation. Hank drops the meat onto the floor and tells Jesse that he's up.

At the DEA safe house, Hank and Gomez tell Huell that Walt is getting rid of anyone connected to the poisoning of Brock and that Huell himself is next on the hit list. When Huell calls Hank's bluff, he is shown a fake picture of Jesse with his brains blown out. Huell panics and says that he and Kuby collected Walt's money, which was put into seven barrels and left inside a van; after Walt came back, Huell and Kuby cleaned the van and returned it to the rental agency. Hank and Gomez now have information on which van it was and where it was rented. The two agents leave, with Hank giving a warning to Huell not to use his cell phone or to leave the safe house.

Walt contracts Jack and Kenny to kill Jesse, telling them that he regards Jesse as like a member of his family and that he wants Jesse's death to be quick and painless. He offers to pay triple of what he paid for the prison job, but Jack forgoes any monetary payment and instead asks Walt to oversee a few cooks with Todd instead. When Jack refuses to do the hit otherwise, Walt reluctantly accepts to do only one more cook, and only after Jesse is killed. Jack and Walt come to an agreement. Jack asks where he can find Jesse; Walt doesn't know, but knows a way to lure him out.

Act II

Walt visits Andrea

Walt pays a visit to Andrea, telling her that he and Jesse got into an argument and that he now can't find him, suggesting that he is using drugs again. Andrea gives Jesse a call and leaves a voicemail asking him to call her back. When Walt returns to his car, he calls Kenny and another member of Jack Welker's Gang, who are staking out Andrea's house, telling them that Jesse may show up soon. He tells them to remove Jesse's body before Andrea or Brock can see it.

Hank, now in possession of Jesse's cell phone, intercepts the call from Andrea; he is aware that Walt is attempting to set a trap for Jesse and deletes the call. Inside his house, Gomez tells Hank that the rental agency did not have GPS trackers on their vans. Jesse urges them not to give up on finding the money. Hank says that it is very possible that Walt buried his money somewhere in the desert, and Gomez immediately says that there is no way they can simply find out where it is buried. Hank comments that they know that the van didn't have GPS tracker — but Walt doesn't.

Act III

Skyler and Walt Jr. talking to Saul

At the car wash, Skyler is teaching Walt Jr. how to ring customers up when Saul arrives to have his car serviced. Skyler is quietly furious at Saul's appearance, while Junior is starstruck. Outside, Saul tells Walt that Huell has disappeared, thinking that Jesse killed him; Walt notices that Saul is wearing a bulletproof vest. Having watched the conversation, Skyler asks if they had any "progress" with Jesse. When she returns to the cash register, Walt watches her and his son, afraid for their lives. Moments later, he receives a picture message of a barrel full of money buried in dirt, followed by a taunting phone call from Jesse. He says he's going to burn all of the money if Walt doesn't come to meet him.

Walt rushes to his car and speeds to Tohajiilee Indian Reservation, where he has buried his money. He demands that Jesse not burn it, insisting that it is meant for his children. He further angrily insists that he only poisoned Brock to have Jesse on his side to kill Gus, and states that he committed other murders — Emilio Koyama, Krazy-8, and the rival dealers — to save Jesse as well as himself. Arriving at the reservation, Walt notices that there is no sign of Jesse anywhere around the area where the money is buried; he has been lured into a trap.

Walt spots a vehicle approaching

Walt sees an SUV approaching through the desert. He hides behind a rock and contacts Jack, assuming that Jesse has sent a hit squad to kill him. Jack signals his men to prepare for combat while Walt gives him the GPS coordinates. Walt then realizes that Jesse has come with Hank and Gomez. Not wanting for Hank to be killed, he immediately tells Jack to call off the assault. As Hank calls out for him, Walt stares in silence and sadness, knowing that Jesse betrayed him and ensured his defeat.

Act IV

Walt calls Jesse a coward

Walt emerges from his hiding spot, gun in hand, while Hank and Gomez command him to surrender. He follows each of their instructions until Hank finally handcuffs him and reads him his rights. Walt sees Jesse and calls him a "coward", to which he responds by spitting in his face; the two try to fight but are separated by the agents. After putting Walt in the SUV, Hank calls Marie to share the news of the arrest and says that while the following weeks are going to be hard for them, it will get better. Marie is overjoyed that Walt has been caught. Hank hangs up.

Inside the SUV, Walt sees Jack's gang arriving in two vehicles. Jack, Kenny, Todd and three other neo-Nazis spill out of the vehicles and draw their weapons; Hank and Gomez draw theirs in response. Jesse takes cover inside Walt's car, while Walt screams at Jack multiple times not to shoot. The agents and the neo-Nazis share a moment of tension before Kenny opens fire, and both parties begin spraying bullets at each other. Hank and Gomez find temporary safety behind the SUV but are badly outnumbered and outgunned. Walt tries to get down as bullets start to rip the SUV apart.

Trivia

• Tohajiilee is the name of a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. It was the site of Walter and Jesse's first cooking session ("Pilot"), as well as the burial place of Walt's money. ("Buried")
• The handshake Walt shares with Jack, where Walt only reciprocates after a tense period of time, leaving Jack hanging, is near identical to a handshake he shared with Mike in "Madrigal", except the parties are swapped - Walt was the one left hanging back then.
• The mug that Todd gives to Lydia for her tea has a picture of an American flag, and says "These colors do not run", ironic given that it takes place immediatly after a scene in which Todd fails to impart a blue coloration to the meth he cooked.
  • This term "These colors do not run" is also a term seen on a shirt worn by Saul in the Better Call Saul episode, Bad Choice Road.
• Jack suggests they use blue food coloring to color the meth Todd cooked the proper blue color and better pass off the meth as authentic Blue Sky. Declan used the same technique to the same end. Many meth dealers in real life also used this technique as the show grew in popularity.
• While Walter comes to see Jesse when he thinks he is burning his money, Jesse calls Walter "Walt" instead of Mr. White, which is the name he usually calls him. This is the second, and last time in the series that Jesse call's Walter "Walt", the first being in the season 2 episode, Breakage.
• When Hank finally arrests Walt, he does exactly what he told Walt that he promised to do to Heisenberg when he thought Gale may be Heisenberg. ("Bullet Points") Hank 'slaps the handcuffs' on Walt and then waves to him the exact same way he does in 'Bullet Points'. The wave mimicks Gene Hackman to Frog One in The French Connection.
• Walt raising his arms to surrender resembles Gus raising his arms to taunt Gaff to shoot him in "Bug". 
• This is the first (and only) time Walter Jr. and Saul Goodman have met.
• The warning Jesse gives Hank and Steve about how dangerous Walt is comes to pass, saying "Whatever–whatever you think is supposed to happen–I’m telling you, the exact reverse opposite of that is going to happen, okay?" Indeed, just when it seems Hank finally beat Walt, the tables were completely turned on him.
  • In addition, it was always intended for Walt and Jack's White Supremacist Gang to carry out the hit and have Jesse Pinkman dead. Ironically, the exact opposite later happens where Jesse is the sole survivor out of all of them, whilst Walt and Jack's Gang all end up dead instead. ("Felina")
• This is the last time Gustavo Fring is mentioned in the series.

Memorable Quotes

"Open your eyes! Can't you see that I needed you on my side to kill Gus. I ran over those gang bangers, I killed Emilio and Krazy-8, why? I did all of things to try and save your life as much as mine! But only you're too stupid to know it!"―Walt to Jesse about how much he cares for him.

"Walter White, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and have an attorney present during questioning. If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided for you at the government’s expense. Do you understand these rights as I have just recited them to you?"―Hank reading Walt his Miranda right’s as Walt stares at Jesse.
