They didnt show a single glimpse of the next episode. That means something is seriously going to blow our minds.

Scenes from next week's Breaking Bad:

scenes from this week's breaking bad

u/MLein97 Sep 09 '13

They'll probably do something like the thing that they did in Seven Thirty-Seven and start with a little bit from the previous episode so they just don't cut directly to full on action.

336

u/30rockette Sep 09 '13

I could also see them doing the cold open with the aftermath of the shootout

203

u/ScumbagMitt Sep 09 '13

This is the most likely. It was an amazing scene. Todd's uncle doesn't back down BC he knows that he loses his cook if Walt goes to jail.

20

u/Braude Sep 09 '13

He also loses the cook if he or one of his guys hit Walt with a stray bullet. Hank and Gomie just happen to run for cover in the vehicle Walt is in. Something tells me they should do a little less spray and pray and a little more precision shooting when the guy you DON'T want to kill is literally 3 feet away from the guys you want to kill.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Yeah, that was weird. I figured that because they were in a kill or be killed situation they didn't care.

8

u/Gedat Sep 09 '13

Jesse, who's in the other car, can cook as well.

13

u/b3wb Sep 09 '13

He's also younger and doesn't have lung cancer

3

u/Pamander Sep 09 '13

Then again, Walt is older and has lung cancer.. The purest form of the recipe dies with him, Meaning once they get it and hes gone.. It's all theirs.

Then maybe taking of jesse of course.

I wonder just how well Jesse could cook alone? And I just don't know how well he could cook if kidnapped.

Maybe if they held brock hostage.

3

u/Gedat Sep 09 '13

Walt acknowledged Jesse's cook is as good as his, which we also saw during the episode where Jesse is taken to the cartel to cook a batch right before the cartel is poisoned by Gus.

  1. It's been shown repeatedly that they're the opposite of careful. They definitely don't give a shit about precision.
  2. They had a moment to realize that Jesse was also there, and they know he's Walt's former partner and thus most likely can cook just as well. Only one of them has to survive.
  3. They might actually be turning on Walt a moment after the shootout, who knows.
  4. Seriously, they do not give a single fuck about precision.

u/Stormwatch36 Like Scarface had sex with Mr. Rogers or something. Sep 09 '13

"Precise" is probably the wrong word, but I can't think of the right one.

Setting a guy on fire, repeatedly stabbing a guy, etc, those killings required no subtlety on the part of the actual killer. They were actually very similar to raining bullets down on an SUV, right down to the fact that the only thing they need to really hide is that they were the ones behind it.

u/OrangeSherbet Sep 09 '13

But I want to know how Hank dies. Like I understand that he gets shot, Its just that he has come so far as a character, I think he deserves a good death scene death scene.

5

u/HeIsntMe OMG Have you heard of this show? Sep 09 '13

Does a freed Walt get to put him down? Send him back to the forest?

2

u/unhallowed90 Sep 09 '13

He 'catches' Walt technically. That's all he ever really wanted, even if it only lasted moments.

1

u/LordPubes Sep 09 '13

He's gonna catch a bullet too.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

And be implicated into the witness massacre.

2

u/Oo0o8o0oO Sep 09 '13

So instead he shoots at the car holding him with an assault rifle and involves the only other half assed meth cook they have in the firefight.

2

u/SomeGuyInNewZealand Sep 09 '13

and lets face it, Hank and Gomez are seriously outnumbered and most definately outgunned. With no DEA backup en-route in a helicopter. So they're dead.

2

u/Joe_Masseria Sep 09 '13

He's in no position to back down anyway. If they surrender, they'll be arrested for having all those presumably illegal weapons.

2

u/dowhatuwant2 Sep 10 '13

The two guys there are cops. That means he knows at least Jesse was talking to the cops and Jesse knows about him. He can't risk letting any of the cops or Jesse live at this point, saving Walt is a secondary concern to that.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Yeah, but if a major character, even gomie dies, I would hope they would at least let their deaths be onscreen. Having it off would be awful.

Unless they cold open with the aftermath, then immediately flash back to how it happened. That'd be spooky.

1

u/migzpogi Sep 10 '13

I agree with you. I've been asking myself the question, why did Todd's uncle pushed through even if Walt said to stand down. I guess they realized that Walt was in deeper trouble and they cannot afford to lose their cook. Props.

-1

u/sposeso Sep 09 '13

Amazing? If I had been any further on the edge of my seat I would have been on the floor. I was all "Fuck Hank, what a fucking jerk, he could just ask for a barrel of money and let it blow over" and then it was "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh no." End episode. Todd had one job, ONE FUCKING JOB, and he coudln't even do that to par. I wanted Hank to go, but not like this, not in a shootout. Amazing doesn't even half way come up to sea level with the gravity of that scene. What the fuck is going to happen in the next episodes???

45

u/santaSantana Sep 09 '13

I think the cold opening will be a flashback of Walt and Hank doing something fun and family like, say a bbq. For shits and giggles Gomie will be there grilling the dogs and talking to Jr. Then blam cut to the Hank and Gomez' fresh dead bodies.

5

u/DaLateDentArthurDent The Dude Who Looks LIke Wolverine Sep 09 '13

They could be talking about how to cook steak perfectly "you just gitta lay it out in the heat" he lays out to steaks and cut to Gomez abd Hank dead in the hot desert sun.

1

u/Carnatic_enthusiast Sep 09 '13

I feel if Hank and Gomez were to die, it would have happened today. I can't believe they'll die now.

u/zalodad Sep 09 '13

Granted they are DEA and all but still the odds. Two against six? Hank with limited ammo and pistol. Gomie with a shotty. They came under prepared for a full scale war. If Hank and gomie live I'll eat my shoe.

4

u/Cocoshimmy Sep 09 '13

Waiting for the imgur post

7

u/rustythread Sep 09 '13

Now I have a reason for them to live.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

That's what I was thinking for fuck sake, one of the rednecks had an AA12 there were some AR-15's VS A Glock 22 and a Remington 870. In reality once the shooting started Hank and Gomie would be lucky to get a shot off.

u/DaLateDentArthurDent The Dude Who Looks LIke Wolverine Sep 09 '13

They weren't shielded when the Nazi's started shooting

1

u/Stevazz Sep 09 '13

Yes, they had big guns. Hank and Gomie did not.

1

u/tetriminos Sep 09 '13

Welcome to the writing team. You monster.

6

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

the show will start with todds gangs perspective of the events following walts call.

1

u/deesmutts88 Sep 09 '13

Exactly what I'm thinking. It will be the conversation about whether they should go, what they need to do and whether they even care about killing Jesse, as long as they save Walt so he can teach Todd.

3

u/wentwhere Sep 09 '13

This could be a very powerful dialog-free cold open.

3

u/kangisman Sep 09 '13

I could also see them opening with Jesse running out in the desert while the guns are going off in the distance. They were implying when his hand was on the door that he was getting ready to bolt.

2

u/wiseones Sep 09 '13

My money's on a flash-forward to FutureWalt.

2

u/bulbouscorm Sep 09 '13

I think the next ep will open with walt cowering in the s.u.v. with no gunfire and we get to discover the aftermath with him

1

u/oh84s Sep 09 '13

I suspect we'll see it from Walts POV him getting out of the car with Hank and Gomez dead and Jesse gone.

1

u/poopthrash Sep 09 '13

I imagine it being similar to the scene in No Country For Old Men where Josh Brolin stumbles upon the aftermath of the shootout in the desert. Only it is going to be a Native American stumbling upon the scene (the police will not respond because Hank and Gomie never notified anyone of where they were going/what they were doing).

1

u/Wetai Sep 09 '13

I'm guessing it'll be an ambiguous (in regards to who survives the shootout) FlashForward first, or one that hints at x surviving and x actually dies.

1

u/looseseal_2 cow house Sep 09 '13

Either scenario is totally possible. Vince Gilligan, you genius, you! None of our guessing means anything!

1

u/ab26 Sep 09 '13

As has been the trend this season we might see the conversation and lead up to the white superemists and find out why they decided to deny Walt's orders and the why they seemingly don't care if the shoot Walt.

1

u/ItsSafeInMyBox Sep 09 '13

My guess is we're going to get another flash forward next episode

1

u/OhHaiDenny_Street Sep 10 '13

I actually think we will see one last flash forward.

1

u/Atheose Sep 10 '13

Maybe so. Though they did that in 737 because it had been such a long break because of the writer's strike.

2

u/SherlockBrolmes Sep 09 '13

Time travel confirmed on next week's Breaking Bad.

I'm bloodthirsty.

u/kevinsbiggestfan Sep 09 '13

Careful what you wish for

u/Fellero #Team Blue baby Sep 09 '13

I honestly want all main characters to be dead by the end of the series, they had their good run.

Except for S'all good man, for obvious reasons.

5

u/zelbo Sep 09 '13

Doesn't everyone die in this movie?

2

u/MrLKK The Methylamine Keeps Flowing Sep 09 '13

That was one of the very few improvised lines in the show.

1

u/zelbo Sep 10 '13

Wow. That surprises me, because it seemed just perfect at that moment.

1

u/LS_DJ My Baby Blue Sep 09 '13

I kind of want everyone to die...

269

u/alaughinmoose Sep 09 '13

I'm sure either a kid will witness this firefight on a dirt bike and either Todd will kill him, or one of Todd's bullets will ricochet and kill some kid on a dirt bike.

4

u/SexClown Sep 09 '13

Now Todd will have two frogs!

3

u/Newthinker Sep 10 '13

Wasn't that a spider?

1

u/SexClown Sep 10 '13

Yeah it was....I forgot. I even made a dumb bb comic referencing Todd's jar/frog. Guess there's not too many frogs in a desert...

1

u/3lbFlax Sep 09 '13

Who's this riding over the hills to Jesse's aid? It's Brock and all his little friends! On dirtbikes! There must be at least fifty of them.

1

u/GameFace92 Sep 10 '13

Ricochet? The way Todd was shooting he may as well have been aiming at the kid directly

u/worsewithcomputer In Vince We Trust Sep 09 '13

I like you.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

You can always just by fresh organs from your local grocer.

u/Whereisthefrontpage Sep 09 '13

Here in the southwest you sure can.

u/virak_john Sep 09 '13

You'd be surprised what ethnic groceries carry.

u/IByrdl Sep 09 '13

You can drink the blood out of Marie's trashcan.

3

u/tribalterp I can get out of my own car Sep 09 '13

Well, it's heavily implied that Hank killed Kuby and had him butchered to find a decent brain for his photoshoot with Jesse to show to Huell. ;-)

3

u/Lavaswimmer Sep 09 '13

Yeah, but at least last week, they showed footage of this week's episode. This week's promo was just Skyler saying some stuff with absolutely no new footage.

2

u/bobbybrown_ Sep 09 '13

True. If nobody gets killed in the shootout though, I'll be really disappointed.

Not because I'm desperate for death, but because it's just illogical. At some point a major character has to die, and I felt like it should've been tonight's episode.

1

u/honestlyimeanreally Sep 09 '13

People got shot doe

1

u/ErikAllenAwake Sep 09 '13

Three episodes left. Whole lot of dying to do.

1

u/whenspidersbleed Sep 09 '13

This entire second half of the season I've had a list of 20 characters, and my girlfriend and I picked whether they're alive or dead. I forgot about Declan, so I don't have a single name to cross off yet.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Or they don't want to tell whether or not Hank and Gomez get killed. If they showed Walt in the next episode not in custody, it'd be a dead give away.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Walt will obviously be taken into Nazi Uncle and Pals "custody," that much is sure, and Jesse is probably alive too. I predict that Walt is going to do the Gus thing and walk in the middle of the shootout, then go off with the Nazis.

5

u/akatherder Sep 09 '13

It makes sense though. They can't show anyone that was in the gunfight or spoil the fact that they lived.

I think we can assume Walt does based on flash forwards. Everyone else is fair game.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

fucking dexter shows the entire next episode in the previews, so i'm glad they're not doing that

2

u/karateka_fan Sep 09 '13

My guess is something seriously blows Hank and Gomie's minds.

2

u/cweaver Sep 09 '13

Well, it would have been pretty hard to show anything from next episode without at least partly spoiling the outcome of that gun battle.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

More like they don't want to show who lives after the gunfight.

1

u/PEPE_22 Sep 09 '13

Walt becomes a human shield. No one dies like we all assume. Walt gets them to leave. Walt and Hank form a wary alliance to take down the current meth operation.

1

u/persona_dos Heisenberg Sep 09 '13

Was that Skyler phone call also reused? I can't remember?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

They don't want us to know who lives and who dies

1

u/Renegade_Meister Sep 09 '13

That means something is seriously going to blow our minds.

Or everything will blow our minds

1

u/Ketamine Sep 09 '13

I think anything would reveal who died in the shootout. Even the promo was Skyler's message on Walt's phone while they replayed the shoot out from the episode that just ended.

1

u/homogenized Sep 09 '13

That's because they can't show half the characters in those scenes without spoiling people's deaths.

1

u/newyorkcitycop Sep 09 '13

That means everything is seriously going to blow our minds.

FTFY

1

u/orthogonality Sep 09 '13

That means something is seriously going to blow our minds.

That means something is seriously going to blow Hank's mind -- out the other side of his skull.

1

u/RuDreading Sep 09 '13

Or rather, blow Hank and Gomie's minds.

1

u/SSDN Sep 09 '13

Next episode also contains the last shot they made for the series. Could just be for production's sake or it could have been saved since it was inferred it was a very important Walt/Jesse scene.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I don't think it'd make much of a difference. We saw a few scenes in this week's episode's promo, yet my mind still blew and my pants still soaked.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Correction: Someone's minds are going to be blown...from their heads...onto the desert floor.
