"Buyout" is the sixth episode of the fifth season of the American television drama series ''Breaking Bad'', and the 52nd overall episode of the series. Written by Gennifer Hutchison and directed by Colin Bucksey, it originally aired on AMC in the United States on August 19, 2012. ==Plot== Upon returning from the train heist, Walt (Bryan Cranston), Mike (Jonathan Banks), and Todd (Jesse Plemons) dismantle the dirt bike belonging to the boy that Todd killed, dissolving the pieces in barrels filled with hydrofluoric acid. They prepare another barrel for the boy. While Todd and Jesse (Aaron Paul) are smoking outside, Todd glibly dismisses the tragedy, leading an incensed Jesse to punch him. After a heated debate, Walt, Jesse, and Mike agree to keep Todd alive and on the payroll with Vamonos Pest, in order to monitor him. While visiting a park with his granddaughter Kaylee (Kaija Roze Bales), Mike detects a DEA stakeout and taunts them by faking a dead drop and leaving a vulgar message placed under a garbage can. Mike, under pressure from the increased DEA surveillance, and Jesse, still shaken over the recent death, decide to leave the operation and sell their shares of the heisted methylamine to Declan (Louis Ferreira), a Phoenix-based competitor, for $5 million apiece. However, Declan insists on buying the entire lot — including Walt's share — in an effort to remove the blue meth (their biggest competitor) from the market. Elsewhere, while visiting Holly, a tearful Skyler (Anna Gunn) is tempted to confess to her sister Marie (Betsy Brandt), who discloses her knowledge of Skyler's affair with Ted Beneke and believes that to be the reason for her mental anguish. Jesse comes to Walt's house to discreetly discuss the deal offered by Declan. Walt rejects the sale, reasoning that the methylamine is worth $300 million when cooked, and correlating his buyout from Gray Matter Technologies for only $5,000 when the company is now worth well over $2 billion. He feels that they could make much more money by staying in the meth business and empire building. Skyler arrives home and Walt insists that Jesse stay for dinner, which leads to an awkward meal. When a contemptuous Skyler asks Jesse if Walt told him about her affair, and then leaves the table, Walt tells Jesse about his broken family life and says that the "business" is all he has left, guilting Jesse into remaining in business with him. Walt tries to hide the methylamine, but Mike anticipates the move, tying Walt up in the Vamonos Pest offices. Mike and Saul (Bob Odenkirk) meet with Hank (Dean Norris) and Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada) at the DEA to advise them Mike has obtained a restraining order preventing their continued surveillance of him. Meanwhile, Walt breaks from the plastic restraint and hides the methylamine before Mike comes back. When Mike arrives, he instantly notices the methylamine is missing and is about to shoot Walt, placing the gun to his head, but Jesse interrupts and says Walt has a plan to get all three of them their money, while still letting Walt keep the methylamine. Mike asks Walt if what Jesse says is true. Walt replies, "Everybody wins". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buyout (Breaking Bad)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
