SpoilerDetectives question Jesse about Brock, but Saul intervenes. Afterwards, Walt, Jesse, and Saul realize that Gus may be vulnerable via his visits to Hector at the nursing home. Walt visits Hector, who readily agrees to his plan; Walt installs the bomb on Hector's wheelchair, so he can get revenge on Gus. Jesse is kidnapped from the hospital and held at gunpoint in the lab, forced to cook. When Gus visits to kill Hector, Hector detonates the bomb, killing Gus, Gus' bodyguard, Tyrus, and himself. Once Gus' death is confirmed, Walt rescues Jesse, and together they destroy the lab. Back at the hospital, Jesse tells Walt that Brock is recovering, and that his illness was not caused by ricin, but rather toxic berries from a lily of the valley plant. Still, the two agree that Gus needed to be killed. Skyler calls Walt after seeing news about the nursing home explosion, and he declares to Skyler that he "won". The season ends with a shot of a potted lily of the valley plant in Walt's backyard, revealing that Walt had indeed poisoned Brock.

This is a recording that was made while I was going through U.S. Army Basic Training in the summer of 1988. I'm uploading this to Vimeo and posting it here because the original soundtrack causes it to be blocked on YouTube.
A few of my fellow Basic Trainees have found this video on YouTube, with its altered soundtrack, so I wanted to make the full original recording available to them (and anyone else who may be interested).
I can be seen in it in a few places, I'll add some times where I show up, once I re-watch it and find myself. If any of my fellow 'old soldiers' find this posting, please leave a comment and let me know and if you find yourself in the video, tell us where you are in it.
