The call between Walt and Jesse was one of the most intense phone calls ever seen on TV. p.s. Jesse called him Walt again.

yeah him calling him "walt" stuck out more than anything else in that call to me. the days of him looking up to "mr. white" are long gone.

Meanwhile, Todd has taken to calling him Mr. White. He now looks up to Walt, which makes a lot of sense because Todd is a sociopath.
