Doing the right thing Walter.

What do you mean?

Angry?

Living, not living.

That's very understanding.

Whatever, man.

I just want to go home.

Now.

Me too.

Yeah.

You like me, Walter?

The moment I do, are you gonna stick me with that broken piece of blade?

Argh!
22
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
23
I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's your meeting.

$50,000.

Oh, man.
29
50 Gs?
30
How you figure that?

35 for the pound of meth you stole, and another 15 for my partner's pain and suffering.
32
Pardon me.
33
Oh, yeah.
34
I remember that little bitch.
35
So you must be daddy.
36
Let me get this straight.
37
I steal your dope.
38
I beat the piss out of your mule boy.
39
And then you walk in here and you bring me more men?
40
Woo, that's a brilliant plan, isn't it?
41
Brilliant.
42
And you got one part of that wrong.
43
This is not meth.
44
You fucking nuts!
45
We wanna find out.
46
No, no, it's Gonzo!
47
Calma!

Calma.

Oh.
57
Oh.
58
Oh.
59
Oh.
60
Ah.
61
That crystal that your partner brought me, it sold faster than $10 ass in TJ.
62
Let's say you bring me another pound next week.
63
Money up front.
64
Money up front.
65
Tuco!
66
No!
67
Tuco!
68
Shut up!
69
No!
70
No!
71
Please!
72
No, God, please, no!
73
No, God, I don't wanna die!
74
Tell me what you did, Walter!
75
Jesus!
76
I don't wanna die!
77
No!
78
Tell me what you did!
79
We tried to poison you.
80
We tried to poison you because you're an insane, degenerate piece of filth, and you deserve to die.
81
No, no, no. No, no.
82
It's a bitch.
83
Oh!
84
Let him bleed.
85
This guy, Gail Bedecker, he was eccentric.
86
I mean, real character, you know.
87
He's dead now.
88
Huh.
89
Who was he?
90
He was a meth cook.
91
He was a meth chef.
92
I mean, we're talking five stars, candles and white tablecloth.
93
I can't believe his words are going to come out of my mouth, but he was a genius, plain and simple.
94
I mean, boy, if he'd applied that big brain of his to something good, I don't know.
95
Who knows what could have helped humanity or something like that.
96
I mean, how many actual geniuses are there in the world, right?
97
He's kind of taken his life in a different direction. Who knows?
98
Hank, not to tell you your business, but I'm not sure I agree.
99
What do you mean?
100
Well, I mean, you showed me that notebook, and from what I saw, and this is just my humble opinion,
101
from what I saw on those papers, genius?
102
Not so much.
103
I mean, there was no reasoning, no deductions in those pages.
104
So to my eye, all this brilliance looks like nothing more than just simple rote copying.
105
Probably of someone else's work.
106
Believe me, I have been around enough students to know.
107
This genius of yours.
108
Maybe he's still out there.
109
Jesus, what was I thinking?
110
Walt, please, let's both of us stop trying to justify this whole thing and admit you're in danger.
111
Who are you talking to right now?
112
Who is it you think you see?
113
Do you know how much I make a year?
114
I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it.
115
Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work?
116
A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up, disappears.
117
It ceases to exist without me.
118
No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in.
119
I am not in danger, Skyler.
120
I am the danger.
121
A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me?
122
No. I am the one who knocks.
123
My partner tells me that your crew switched to a P2P cook because of our success.
124
You dye your meth with food coloring to make it look like mine.
125
You already ate my product at every turn.
126
But now, you have the opportunity to sell it yourself.
127
I need you to listen to me.
128
We're not gonna give up this deal to be your errand boys, do you understand? For what?
129
To watch a bunch of junkies get a better high?
130
A better high means customers pay more.
131
A higher purity means a greater yield.
132
That's $130 million of profit that isn't being pissed away by some substandard cook.
133
Now, you listen to me.
134
You've got the greatest meth cook in America.
135
No, the two greatest meth cooks in America right here.
136
And with our skills, you'll earn more from that 35% than you ever would on your own.
137
Yeah, so you say.
138
Just wondering why we're so lucky.
139
Why cut us in?
140
Mike is retiring from our crew, so his share of the partnership is available if you can handle his end.
141
Distribution.
142
And if you give him $5 million of the $15 million that you brought today, just think of it as a finder's fee for bringing us together.
143
We have 40 pounds of product ready to ship.
144
Ready to go. Are you ready?
145
Who the hell are you?
146
How are you?
147
You know.
148
You all know exactly who I am.
149
Say my name.
150
You what?
151
I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are.
152
Yeah, you do.
153
I'm the cook.
154
I'm the man who killed Gus Fring.
155
Bullshit.
156
Cartel got Fring.
157
You sure?
158
That's right.
159
Now, say my name.
160
Heisenberg.
161
You're goddamn right.
162
We had Fring.
163
We had a lab.
164
We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.
165
You could have shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed.
166
It was perfect, but no, you just had to blow it up.
167
You and your pride and your ego.
168
You just had to be the man.
169
If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.
170
I'm sorry.
171
I'm sorry.
172
I'm sorry.
173
Thank you.
174
I just...
175
I just realized that Lydia has the names I can get them from her.
176
I'm sorry, Mike.
177
This...
178
This whole thing could have been avoided.
179
Shut the.. up.
180
Let me die in peace.
181
No!
182
Get off me!
183
Get off!
184
Good to go?
185
Hey, Uncle Jack.
186
He was out here with those feds.
187
Right, working with them.
188
Shouldn't we maybe find out what he told them first?
189
Because, I mean, he had to have told him some stuff that might not be too good for us.
190
And I bet we could get it out of him back home.
191
I mean, I could do it.
192
Me and him, we got history.
193
And then, you know, we'd take care of the job after that.
194
Work for me.
195
Work for you.
196
Let's go, pal.
197
No. No!
198
No!
199
No!
200
Wait!
201
I watched Jane die.
202
I was there.
203
And I watched her die.
204
I watched her overdose and choke to death.
205
I could have saved her.
206
But I didn't.
207
Yeah, Todd, get them off.
208
We've been...
209
Yeah, Todd, get them both off.
210
I'm not sure what you're doing.
211
Oh, my
212
God.
213
Jesus.
214
Mr. White.
215
Oh, fuck!
216
Ugh!
217
I guess I got what I deserve Kept you waiting there to long,
218
my love All that time without a word
219
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget Or I'd regret A special love had for you
220
Baby blue All the days became so long
221
Did you really think I'd do wrong Did you see when I let you go
222
Thought you'd realize I would know I would show the special love I have for you,
223
my baby blue.
224
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
