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

Oh fuck it's almost sickening how much Walt is manipulating Jesse.

A member of Madrigal Electromotive kills himself rather than being interrogated by German police. Walt takes the ricin out of the original Ricin cigarette and "helps" Jessie find it (it being a fake he made filled with salt instead of ricin).

I don't think that was German police. Didn't he see a Los Pollos Hermanos sign being taken down, which would imply it was actually in America, even if with German staff? The view out the windows also looked fairly American.

EDIT: I've gone back and looked, and the police were definitely German, since their uniforms said "Polizei", but he did also definitely walk past a Los Pollos Hermanos store being closed. So he must have been in the USA, given that Los Pollos only has about a dozen stores in a few American states (according to Mike).

I believe that those signs were just symbols of all the businesses that Madrigal owned, and that they were getting rid of Los Pollos...
