"Fifty-One" is the fourth episode of the fifth season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the 50th overall episode of the series. Written by Sam Catlin and directed by Rian Johnson, it originally aired on AMC in the United States on August 5, 2012.
Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte) retrieve Walt's Pontiac Aztek from an auto repair shop. The mechanic (John Ashton) believes the car will last a long time, but when Walt puts on the hat he dons for his Heisenberg persona, his pride takes over: Walt sells the Aztek to the mechanic for $50, leases a new Chrysler 300 and later leases a new Dodge Challenger for Walt Jr.
At Madrigal's Houston branch, Lydia (Laura Fraser) receives a call from Mike (Jonathan Banks), who warns her that the police are about to arrive. She escorts Hank (Dean Norris), Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada), and other officers to the Madrigal warehouse and points out foreman Ron (Russ Dillen), who was supplying her with methylamine. Mike reassures Lydia that Ron will not talk, adding that she will have a new guy in the warehouse soon. Walter presents Skyler (Anna Gunn) with a stack of newly-earned drug money, saying they have to recoup the lost $600,000. After her suggestion of sending the kids to boarding school is struck down by Walter, he mentions that she should throw him a party for his 51st birthday.
