Breaking More Bad
Yadda yadda, cut.
What do two guys do to get rid of a couple of corpses? And what if one corpse is, in fact, still alive?
We pick up exactly where we left off. Most of this episode deal with Walter and Jesse (who I'm warming to) trying to get rid of the two thugs from the first episode. One of whom turns out to be alive does a zombie-run down the street before colliding with a tree. The sound of his ragged lungs is going to haunt me.
Then there is the whole business of finding a good container for an acid bath. Ye gods. I laughed, I winced, I laughed again.
Everything feels very immediate as Walt tries to figure out what to du with the not-quite-dead thug. Knife? Claw hammer? Gun? Giving him a sammich and a bucket to crap in while keeping him in the basement? That is apparently the ticket. While the thoughts were obviously racing through Walt's head, I felt a bit of his adrenaline rush.
A secondary complication is that Skylar White (Walt's wife) find out that the two are up to something. Walt tells a fib about buying weed from Jesse and plainly tells Skylar: ”what I need for you to do is to climb outta my ass”, and the request comes across as reasonable! Not that it does a bit of good.
Skylar calls at Jesse's place (as he's busy moving a corpse) and threatens him with the DEA. Jesse acts suitably cowed, and proceeds to use his own tub for corpse-dissolving. Here we learn why that idea sucks. I laugh and wince at the same time.
We end with a scene of two Navajo (I'm guessing) kids finding one of the gas masks that Jesse and Walt forgot. This'll come back to bite them in the rear no doubt.
Favorite scene: the acid bath turning into an unmitigated disaster as acid, water, and partly dissolved drug dealer rains down from the first floor.
I'm definitely hooked here.
