![]() Old Joe initially agrees to remove the El Camino, but the car's anti-theft device is activated, which law enforcement will trace. Realizing that he has to leave Albuquerque, Jesse tears a page from Skinny Pete's phone book and contacts Old Joe, with the aim of getting rid of the El Camino. The duo calm Jesse down and persuade him to take a shower and shave. In a panic, Jesse pulls his gun on Skinny Pete and Badger. The following day, Skinny Pete and Badger are watching a news conference about the previous night's shooting when Jesse wakes and suffers a traumatic flashback to his captivity at the compound. The duo help Jesse hide the El Camino and give him food and a place to sleep. Skinny Pete initially doesn't recognize Jesse due to his haggard appearance. Jesse then drives to Skinny Pete's house, where Skinny Pete and Badger are playing a video game. He is forced to hide in a driveway when he sees a line of police cars heading in his direction. In the present, immediately after escaping Jack Welker's compound, Jesse speeds away in Todd's El Camino. Jesse says that he would try to "set things right", but Mike regretfully tells him that changing his past is the one thing he cannot do. Mike says that if he were Jesse's age, he would move to Alaska and start his life anew. They ask each other what they plan to do with the money they have collected. Now we know that he was following his friend’s advice.In an opening flashback, Jesse Pinkman meets with Mike Ehrmantraut on the bank of a river and tells him that he has decided to leave the drug business. And El Camino's opening scene also gives new context to a moment that followed Mike’s demise: Jesse first announces his plan to relocate to Alaska in the later Season Five episode “Confessions,” without saying that Mike was the person who suggested it. But it’s still a clear call back to Mike’s final minutes. Now, the two scenes don’t appear to have been shot at the exact same location-Mike died at a relatively lush, grassy riverbank, while the waterfront that he and Jesse take in a the start of El Camino is dry and dusty desert. In the following episode, Walt enlists the help of trusty psychopath Todd Alquist in disposing of Mike’s body. The scene ends with Mike’s body collapsing to the ground. “Shut the fuck up, and let me die in peace,” Mike responds. Walt, realizing that instead of killing Mike he could have just gotten the nine names from chemical supplier Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, apologizes for shooting him. Walt finds him there, as he sits dying and taking in the view of the water. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike manages to make it out it out of the car and down to the river bank. After Mike refuses, Walt shoots him through the window of his car. When Walt arrives, he demands that Mike deliver the names of nine men who, like Mike, worked for dead kingpin Gus Fring, so that Walt can also have them killed. In the show’s 2012 episode “Say My Name,” Mike is seen skipping stones in the river while waiting for Walt to deliver his go-bag so that he can leave town. Like the earlier moment with Jesse, Mike’s final minutes played out against a riverfront backdrop. But it also serves as a callback to one of the show’s most memorable moments-when Walt murdered Mike near the end of the first half of the show’s fifth season. The scene sets up the film, which goes onto chronicle Jesse’s efforts to acquire enough money to buy himself a new identity and life in Alaska. “Sorry kid, that’s the one thing you can never do.” “If I were your age, starting fresh,” says Mike, “Alaska. “Where would you go, if you were me?” Jesse asks. “Only you can decide what’s best for you, Jesse,” says Mike.
