[Warning: The next comprises spoilers for El Camino: A Breaking Unhealthy Film. Learn at your personal danger!]
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie answered a few of our most pressing questions about what occurred after the occasions of Breaking Bad. We lastly bought TOTALLY official affirmation that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) died after the shootout on the compound, and a newscast said that Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser) was additionally a goner after being poisoned. Most significantly, we now know that Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) escaped all the difficulty he was in from Albuquerque and vanished to Alaska to start out over. Phew!
That stated, the movie nonetheless left fairly a number of points unresolved and added some all-new inquiries to the fold. We’d by no means know the solutions to any of those — except Better Call Saul begins crossing over with Breaking Unhealthy an entire lot extra — however listed here are the burning questions we nonetheless have after watching El Camino anyway.
1. Did the White household ever get their cash? In Breaking Unhealthy‘s last episode, Walter dropped in on his previous frenemies from Grey Matter and demanded that they launder his hundreds of thousands in money to create an endowment for Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) in order that he and the remainder of the household may lastly obtain his cash with out the federal government confiscating it. That appeared like a strong sufficient plan — and just about the one possibility he had left — but it surely wasn’t clear if the 2 would really observe by way of on that pressured promise. El Camino did not point out whether or not the remaining Whites have been ever paid, or provide actually any standing replace on the surviving trio.
2. Did Marie (Betsy Brandt) retrieve Hank (Dean Norris)? One other Breaking Unhealthy finish left free by the film was the matter of whether or not Skyler (Anna Gunn) ever turned over the lottery ticket with the burial coordinates of Hank and Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada). Chances are high she did; she had her qualms with Marie, however she would not maintain one thing like that from her. However El Camino did not inform us for positive whether or not Marie ever bought closure about her husband’s destiny. (For what it is value, the first teaser for the film, which was not part of the precise film, indicated that the DEA knew the 2 had died.)
3. Did Drew Sharp’s dad and mom ever discover out about what occurred to him? One lingering query we thought El Camino would resolve was whether or not the dad and mom of Drew Sharp, the little boy gunned down by Todd (Jesse Plemons) within the desert, ever discovered what occurred to him. In Breaking Unhealthy, Jesse actually needed them to know the reality, but it surely seems to be like he may’ve forgotten by the point El Camino got here alongside — a little bit stunning, actually, since he ran throughout what gave the impression to be Drew’s captured tarantula in Todd’s room. Since each different key witness died already, Jesse would actually be the one one who may inform them about it, barring Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) making a name from Cinnabon that violated his attorney-client privilege, after all.
4. What occurred to Mike’s (Jonathan Banks) granddaughter? Poor Kaylee Ehrmantraut. Regardless of how a lot Mike tried, he by no means may go away that woman his dough with out the feds getting their fingers on it. We all know that her mom was a minimum of partly reliant on Mike’s cash to make ends meet, so what occurred to them after his passing?
5. Did Huell (Lavell Crawford) ever get out of that room? Sure, this does nonetheless nag at us.
6. How did they join Lydia’s sickness to Walt? Whereas the film appeared to seal her destiny, one factor El Camino did not make clear is how the authorities linked Lydia’s poisoning with Walter White. Maybe they tracked the ultimate cellphone name obtained by Todd again to her and linked the dots? With out additional clarification, that is only a guess.
7. Did Badger (Matt Jones) and Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) get arrested? Final we noticed them in El Camino, Badger was driving Skinny Pete’s automotive to the southern border to make it appear to be Jesse made a break for Mexico, whereas Skinny Pete stood in his yard and waited for the authorities to reach and ask questions in regards to the eponymous experience. An early teaser for the film indicated that Skinny Pete can be detained and questioned about Jesse’s whereabouts, however since that scene did not make it into the film, we have now to simply assume that is what occurred to him — and hope Badger efficiently hitched his method again to Albuquerque. Additionally unknown? What occurred to Badger’s beloved Fiero.
8. What was in Jesse’s letter to Brock? Aaron Paul told TV Guide that his letter to Brock was an attractive and sincere send-off for the boy, however since we did not get to see a lot of it, we do not know what Jesse probably needed to say to the child who was left motherless on account of Jesse’s legal connections.
9. Will Jesse go to varsity? Aaron Paul wasn’t sure that Jesse Pinkman — now, “Mr. Driscoll” — would take Walt’s previous recommendation and go to varsity in Alaska and as an alternative believed he may get into the woodworking enterprise, however who is aware of? Perhaps Jesse’s sudden curiosity in sports activities medication was the true deal?
10. Will this hook up with Better Call Saul or arrange one other continuation of Breaking Unhealthy ultimately? El Camino offers followers some critical satisfaction about what occurred to Jesse Pinkman after Breaking Unhealthy, however that does not imply we cannot nonetheless need extra the place this got here from. Many followers have been hoping for some type of Jesse and Walt-centered crossover on Higher Name Saul, for instance, and it seems to be like El Camino expanded the potential for that. Whereas it beforehand appeared inevitable that such a crossover must happen within the present’s previous timeline, El Camino‘s ending leaves the choice of a present-day reunion between Jesse and Saul on the desk as properly. We’ll see!
El Camino: A Breaking Unhealthy Film is now accessible on Netflix.
