![]() Ed is none too pleased to see Jesse and offers little in the way of help or sympathy. Knowing that he lacks the skill to elude federal authorities, Jesse turns to another shadow figure in the "Breaking Bad" universe, Ed Galbraith (Robert Forster), the vacuum-repair shop owner also known as the Disappearer, whose services don't come cheap. Rather than drive off into the New Mexico sunrise, Jesse flees to the Albuquerque home of Skinny Pete and Badger (Charles Baker and Matt Jones) who help him hide the El Camino, give him food and shelter and, the next morning, devise Jesse's run for the border in a far less cool mode of transport: A Pontiac Fiero.Īmid a massive citywide manhunt (one snippet of the wall-to-wall news coverage notes that Jesse Pinkman is believed to have been part of the largest-ever methamphetamine operation in the United States), Gilligan has written and directed one more of his superbly reverse-engineered scripts, where separate tracks of tension and anxiety are micromanaged to a degree of precision that anyone should expect from a project with "Breaking Bad" in the title. Jesse (Aaron Paul, in the role he was born to play) escapes the attack on the meth compound that was engineered by a vengeful Walter White (Bryan Cranston). Satisfying in almost every way that matters, "El Camino" picks up exactly where that finale left off.
