Thank God he had the element of wire. Good thing Jesse reminded him about it

[stabcityblues]

This man worked so hard to not have a good ending for everybody

[Clos]

*"I was offered 5 million dollars instead of Methylamine. I compromised, I burned my wrist on the radiator instead."*

[Fresh_Goo]

I love how the garage door isn't even down and Walt is already looking for a way to escape lmao

[thewisconsingunchannel]

So this guy builds a bomb, and said bomb is activated by a bell. And yet, Mike thinks he won’t find a way out of a friggin zip tie? Seriously?

[ktgg]

Everyone it’s talking about how Walter burn his own hand, but mike really said “sorry”, that’s interesting

[benmorgan]

I love how good of care Walter takes of Jesses gift. That watch truly meant a lot to him.

[robertsides]

Smart enough to figure out how to escape with the wire, but not smart enough to do it on the less sensitive side of his arm.

[johnsmithee]

Walt should've just accepted that damn job from Elliot

[flightofthebumblebee]

I love how even though Mike very justifiably hates Walter, he feels slightly bad about humiliating him like this and even exhales and says "sorry".
Walter and Mike both die ugly and violent, but Jesse got a happy ending so I hope Jimmy gets some kind of redemption too.

[paulsoukup]

He could've just burnt of the part of the ziptie that was stuck to the heater instead of his hand.

[briggswood]

I think we're so used to seeing Walt in a mob boss role by this point that we forget how incredibly technically skilled he is.

[nigelbrayshaw]

There were many ways Walt could have done that without burning himself but In line with his character it shows Walts Intelligence and also his lack of common sense in one scene. Good consistent writing.

[caesarplaysgames]

The music in this scene is brilliant, the way it slowly builds as he burns himself and then breaks after he gets free.

[lettucememe]

This was the moment Walt burned his hand

[aachris]

I think this is the first instance I’ve seen where a protagonist doesn’t escape being tied up by having a blind completely oblivious henchman walk into the room where they end up knocking them out and taking the keys/knife. Also this way of escaping is believable because the character had been shown from the start how genius he is

[slungellife]

Season 3 Mike: "No more half measures Walter"
Season 5 Mike: Only handcuffs one of Walters hands....

[Regina_Lien]

I love how Jesse's response with the "Ahh, Wire" joke foreshadowed this so early on the series.
Bravo Vince!

[ScreenMasterMCU]

He could have done the exact same thing on the other end of the ziptie, but we're talking about the same guy who forgot how to roll a barrel lmao

[evanpeltier]

You know, Walt can make a great grilled cheese off that rahdeator.
