"Granite State"^[1] is the fifteenth episode of the fifth season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the 61st and penultimate episode of the series. Written and directed by Peter Gould, it aired on AMC in the United States on September 22, 2013.

Plot

As the episode starts, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) is seen stepping out of the red minivan to receive a new identity, and learns that his bunkmate is Walt (Bryan Cranston). Walt tries to talk to Saul about putting hits out on Jack and his men, so that he can recover his stolen money, but Saul cannot do anything to help since he has a new identity and is no longer a lawyer. Saul unsuccessfully attempts to advise Walt into staying in New Mexico, and tells Walt "It's over" when he begins to have a coughing fit.

Meanwhile, Jack and his men have raided the Schrader household in order to find Jesse's confession tape. Todd and Jack's men break into the White household, and Todd threatens Skyler not to mention anything about Lydia, or else they will break back in again. Jesse, using the paper clip from the picture of Andrea and Brock, manages to take off his ankle and hand cuffs, and escapes from the dungeon, only to be caught by Jack's men as he reaches the fence. To ensure Jesse will not attempt to escape again, Todd executes Andrea as Jesse watches in the backseat of the vehicle, and Todd threatens Brock's life if he tries again.

Walt is taken to New Hampshire by Saul's man, who tells Walt that he cannot stop him from leaving, but if he does, he will not be coming back. The time jumps one month to show Saul's man returning from his supply run and Walt is seen sporting a head full of hair and a beard (like in the flashfoward), but still on chemotherapy. Saul's man informs Walt that Skyler is going by her maiden name and the family has moved away, and the White household has been fenced in since it has become a tourist attraction because of Heisenberg's notoriety . Walt packs a box full of money and Ensure bottles and heads out to a local bar. Walt has a barmaid call Walt Jr's school pretending to be Marie, so that Walt can tell Jr. his plan to send $80,000 to one of Walt Jr.'s friends to avoid the police confiscating it, but that the money is meant for the family. Jr. angrily refuses the money and tells his father "Why don't you just die already?", hanging up the phone. Walt then calls the DEA office with news on his ongoing case and leaves the phone off the hook. While in the bar, he sees Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz talking on TV about Gray Matter. Elliot tells the interviewer that the only thing Walt contributed was the company name as an angry Walt looks on. As police raid the bar, Walt is gone and the only thing remaining is his glass and a tip.

Production

This episode marks the final appearance of Emily Rios as recurring character Andrea Cantillo.
