Question about Breaking bad.

He flushed the ricin down the toilet? Doesn't that eventually find its way to the water supply via recycling plants?

[MiddleFingerMom]

1. I'm not sure that a small amount of ricin diluted in a relatively large amount of H20 would be toxic

Being who and what he is, I'm sure he would've taken that into consideration.

2. Thanks!

4. You seem to know a lot about Ricin and concentrations in public water supplies, MFM...

We are watching you..

21. It's all perfectly innocent. After Costco reported my purchase of a pallet-load of Raisin Bran...

... (NOT Ricin Bran) to Homeland Security, they came out and interrogated me and cleared me of
all suspicions.

They found me to be nothing more than...

3. No, he flushed the fake vial.

In the first scene with Walt in last night's episode they show him making a fake ricin vial (filled with salt) and a duplicate cigarette - that's the one he flushed. The real ricin vial was taped to the back of an electrical outlet. Apparently he thinks he'll still have a need for it and I'm sure he will.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. That's right. He poisoned Brock with the Lily of the Valley.

6. Why did he flush the fake vial?

Wait, are you saying that he planted that fake one, the one with salt, at Jesse's for the Roomba to pick up? And that he put the real one inside the light switch panel?

Did we see him planting the fake one at Jesse's?

[RedStateLiberal]

7. Yes, he planted the fake one and kept the real one.

They didn't show him planting the fake one at Jesse's - just the preperation of the fake vial and him taping the real one behind the electrical outlet. He wouldn't keep and hide a fake vial of ricin.

The next scene was Walt pretending to try to find the cigarrette with Jesse. I didn't notice a shot of Walt planting the fake one, but from the previous scene of him creating the fake one, it's pretty obvious that he did at some point drop it for the Roomba to pick up.

24. He must have put it in the path of the vacuum cleaner

then he pretended to notice it when he was sitting with Jesse.

8. We don't know

but there was about a five minute sequence of him hiding the real ricin vial behind an electrical outlet, making a fake vial with table salt and stashing it behind an electrical outlet.

[RedStateLiberal]

9. I know.

There were only two cigarettes. Walt held them up to compare them when he finished making the fake one. He then hid the real ricin vial.

I believe the director made a choice to not show Walt actually planting the fake cigarrete at Jesse's. It was a great choice. It put us into the scene from the perspective of Jesse by not focusing on Walt's subterfuge. Notice how Walt seemed kind of fake surprised when he saw the Roomba and Jesse said he already checked it last week. Walt sort of prodded him to check it again and there it was - what he thought was the real deadly cig but was really the fake one.

I can see how these scenes caused some confusion but I thout it was a brilliant directing/editing choice.

16. Who got the Rumba started?

Are we to assume that Walt counted on Jesse to get it started? Or was Jesse too upset to notice that Walt was the one who started it up?

[RedStateLiberal]

17. The scene showed the Roomba

moving through the apartment while Walt and Jessie were searching for the cigarrette. They didn't show anyone starting it. Roombas run automatically on a timer.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Oh. See. I'm asking the right person.

[Duer 157099]

10. Was that final scene creepy or what?

The actors and directors did such a great job with that scene, because it was the very first time I was creeped out by Walt.

[RedStateLiberal]

11. Absolutely

I think Walt is really going to go over the edge even more this season. It's suppose to be the final season so I'm guessing it just gets darker and creepier until the end.

We may have no choice but to stop rooting for this anti-hero. Not sure how I feel about that because that's one of the great things about this show. Walt does really despicable things but you still find yourself hoping he succeeds.

12. Mike and Walt's "partnership" is going to be very interesting

Each may have met their match in the other in that they both often seem to be 10 moves ahead of everyone else.

[Duer 157099]

13. Yeah, this show has two really bad-ass guys

Mike and Walt are both very untypical bad-asses, yet they both excel tremendously at it.

And the two cops, both think they are bad-asses but they are rookies in comparison! That scene with whats-his-name (BIL) and the top cop talking about Fring being right under his nose... was he thinking of Walt in that scene I wonder?

[deutsey]

18. That's what I was wondering too (re: was Hanking thinking of Walt)

I think being the kind of cop Hank is (someone who "thinks outside the box&quot , he's making some uncomfortable connections between Walt's odd behavior and what's happened since "Heisenberg" came along...connections he doesn't want to make.

The big revelation I'm dreading is if (when?) Walt Jr. finds out the truth about his dad. It's going to crush him.

[pokerfan]

20. From the sneak peak...

It's going to be a rocky partnership.

Walter: "He (Mike) handles the business and I handle him."

Now I understand why Walter needs an M60...

[pokerfan]

15. He's forgiven her

[HopeHoops]

14. Yes.

[lunatica]

23. Earlier in the show he was putting salt into a vial

So he had to have put it in the vacuum cleaner. There's a very short shot of him stepping over the vacuum cleaner and then he asked about it as if he hadn't seen it.

25. Recap of Episode two from laineygossip

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 2: Madrigal

I’d like to rename this episode Prophylactic Measures in honour of Mike. He has a certain eloquence to him, no?

Scene opens in a lab, where a Christopher Walken-esque old dude is trying out an array of sauces, while a team in white lab coats anxiously await his opinion. The head scientist is going through the flavours (the entire conversation is in German): versions of honey mustard, French dressing/Ranch fusion (Franch!) and smoky mesquite BBQ are presented. Not a word from the taste tester.

An assistant enters and tells the taster, Mr. Schuler, that people are waiting in his office. Then he really goes to town on the nuggets (or maybe they are tater tots?) without saying a word about the dip.

It’s Madrigal Electromotive –parent company of Los Pollos Hermanos - and the sign for LPH is being pulled down as he walks to his office. They seem to be some kind of food manufacturing lab/distributor.
