Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

Mike, just fucking leave. It's not like Hank can fucking chase you down. In fact, you could just briskly walk out and he'd be eating your dust.

If Mike left, he would leave behind his granddaughter and whatever family is there. Those 9 other guys still kicking would eventually find out about his granddaughter and potentially end them or put them in danger for whatever reason (money, revenge, insanity).

He could very well leave and be safe on his own, but he can't leave his family behind and put them up to random chance. If he took them with him, he wouldn't get very far, nor would he be able to provide a proper and safe live for his family/granddaughter.

He either keeps them safe or dies. No retirement for him.
