Part 2 Saying goodbye to the bad guy: Heisenberg the modern day Tony Montana

With episode 14 behind us we all saw Hanks final moments and realized how important of a character he was. I completely have a “you never know what you had until it’s gone” moment. As Walt screamed that he’s family and then collapsed to the floor upon watching Hank’s final breath.  We saw just another detachment from his human side as he realized Jesse was under his car and told him another painful secret as he was being carried to his presumed death. As the Nazis decide to spare Jesse my prediction from Part 1 still stands.

All secrets are out and with his now imprisoned environment Jesse can now sober up, think clearly, and realize finally that the only way to walk away from evil is not to consume drugs to numb it or join forces with the righteous. We knew Jesse did not care about living anymore if the hit had gone through you would have seen a relieved look in his eyes. The last scene with him beaten down mentally and physically barely able to walk towards a picture of Andrea and Brock knowing that this was a threat that if he did not cooperate it wasn't his life they would take but the lives of people he walked away from in order to save them.

Walter White’s spiral into evil all stems from control, the more you lose the crazier you become in a perception that this is the method to gain it all back. In Scarface we saw that once Tony lost control of his sister, best friend, and his empire suffered. When he decided to take control back by not killing mother and her kids we saw his desperate attempt to gain all the control back with rage and fury.  The monster that is created by the loss of control appeared as Walter send Jesse to his death and the rage that his wife was done being controlled by him and was ready to die for it.

His final words to his wife in this episode “unfinished business to take care of” leads on his need of control. This need supersedes his family’s safety or him even getting on that van and never being seen again. He could take his remaining $10 million and just escape this world but to him it’s no longer about winning his family back but to gain control till the very end.  The Nazis seem to be his final target as they defied Heisenberg by killing Hank, stealing his millions, and giving him a consolation price out of the kindness of their hearts.

 So will the end of this now incredibly rich and powerful Nazis come at the hands of a small vial of Ricin, a giant machine gun, and a pissed off chemistry teacher? Then when discovering Jesse is alive will we see the final human emotion as Jesse takes advantage of this and ends Walt’s life?
