After Gus’ death, Walter, Jesse, and Mike start a new meth business. When their accomplice Todd kills a child witness during their theft of methylamine, Jesse and Mike sell their share of the methylamine to Declan, another distributor. Walter produces meth for Declan, and Gus’ former associate Lydia starts distribution in Europe, which is so successful that Walter earns US$80 million, which he buries on the Tohajiilee Indian Reservation. Hank attempts to prove Walter is Heisenberg. Walter kills Mike after Mike criticizes Walter for Gus’ murder, then hires Jack’s gang to kill Mike’s associates and Jesse. The gang turns on Walter, kills Hank, captures Jesse, and takes most of Walter’s money. Walter uses the remainder to escape to New Hampshire.
After months in hiding, Walter intends to surrender, but changes course after Elliott and Gretchen minimize his involvement in starting Gray Matter. He leaves his money in a trust which he compels Elliott and Gretchen to administer for his children. He confesses to Skyler that he manufactured methamphetamine for his own satisfaction rather than his family’s financial security. At Jack’s compound, Walter kills Jack and the rest of his gang with a remote controlled machine gun and frees the imprisoned Jesse, who kills Todd. Wounded in the aftermath, Walter asks Jesse to kill him, but Jesse refuses. The two share a farewell glance, after which Jesse escapes. Walter reminisces in Jack’s meth lab and eventually dies.
