Skyler is on the phone, Marie warns her of the possibility that Walter could visit her. Skyler is unreadable, she reassures her sister but it's hard to tell if she's scared, sorry for Marie who clearly isn't close to understanding Walter's mind and skills, or simply prepared for all possible outcomes. But when the call ends and Skyler appears to be talking to himself, the camera moves closer, moving that little bit that reveals Walter's presence: he was there the whole time, hidden from our view behind a wooden column. I find this extremely representative of what we have and have not seen since the beginning: looking back, for me, it's as if Heisenberg was still there, very present, just in a blind spot, in a dark corner or in the middle of the scene but hidden from our view by a particular narrative perspective. Walter didn't become Heisenberg, Heisenberg was there, all the time, waiting for Walter to need him. We gave all kinds of excuses to justify Walt's actions because we liked him: it's so easy to sympathize with a good, honest man beaten down by life, humiliated by his employer, somehow intimidated by his successful brother-in-law. Walter appeared to us so needy and yet so comically naive with his crazy, desperate plan to cook and sell drugs in order to free his family from debt and secure his children's future, that we couldn't help but support him. side. Then the pleasure and compassion turned to admiration: Walter is a genius, an artist in his own field of expertise, it is completely impossible not to support him. At first it was easy: cancer, the well-being of the family (a problem child and a newborn baby girl) were the perfect and natural excuse. Family first. Then Jeanne. Walter leaves her to die...... middle of paper ......ment in which Walter asks for a little help from "the universe" because "I'll take care of the rest" and the car keys magically land on his knees, at which point he has all the odds in his favor. He comes back, finds a way to terrorize and at the same time gets help from Gretchen and Elliot to secure his family's wealth, his family's future, once and for all. He takes full revenge on Todd, Lydia, Uncle Jack and their Nazi parents. It frees Jesse not only physically, but – as a side effect – psychologically. Sure, his family, Skyler, Walter Jr, and Marie won't remember him fondly, but everyone will definitely remember him. The blue crystal formula disappeared with him but will remain in history, criminal history but still. And in the end, with nothing else to accomplish, he dies among the instruments of his art. In the end he dies on his own terms.
