"Granite State" 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 and Canada on September 22, 2013.
Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) is brought by the extractor, Ed (Robert Forster), to the basement of his vacuum repair shop. There he finds Walt (Bryan Cranston), who also paid for extraction. Walt asks Saul to put him in contact with hitmen so he can kill Jack and his men and recover his other barrels of money, but Saul refuses. Saul tells Walt that by giving himself up, Skyler might still keep their house instead of losing it to the authorities. Walt can only think of doing so once his entire wealth is recovered and given to his family, even though the police are monitoring their communication. Walt attempts to coerce Saul into coming with him, but Saul refuses, saying that he is no longer a lawyer and that if he's lucky, he'll be "managing a Cinnabon in Omaha". Walt attempts to threaten him further but is subdued by a coughing fit. No longer intimidated, Saul bids Walt farewell and leaves for his new life in Nebraska.
Jack's gang raids Marie Schrader's house and finds Jesse's confession tape. The gang wants to kill Jesse, but Todd needs him to cook more meth in order to impress Lydia, with whom he is now infatuated. Shortly after, they break into Walt's house and threaten Skyler not to reveal Lydia's involvement, to which a shaken Skyler complies. Lydia visits Todd and wants to end their operation because of all the heat, but she reconsiders after he reveals that the meth composition is now at 92% purity thanks to Jesse. At Jack's base of operations, Jesse uses a paper clip to unlock his chains and tries to run, but he is captured. The gang punishes him by taking him to Andrea's house and forcing him to watch Todd kill her. They threaten to kill Brock if he disobeys again.
