"Gliding Over All" is the eighth episode of the fifth season and the mid-season finale of the American television drama series ''Breaking Bad'', and the 54th overall episode of the series. Written by Moira Walley-Beckett and directed by Michelle MacLaren, it aired on AMC in the United States on September 2, 2012. The episode is named after poem 271 in Walt Whitman's ''Leaves of Grass'', a book which is featured prominently in the series. ==Plot== With Mike's (Jonathan Banks) dead body stuffed in the trunk of Walter's (Bryan Cranston) car, Walter and Todd (Jesse Plemons) prepare a barrel of hydrofluoric acid. When Jesse (Aaron Paul) arrives, Walter informs him that Mike is "gone." When asked by Jesse how they will deal with Mike's nine henchmen now that they will not be receiving their hazard payments, Walter tells Jesse that he will address the issue by himself now that Mike and Jesse have left the business. Walter meets with Lydia (Laura Fraser) at a coffee shop to obtain the names of Mike's henchmen. Suspecting that Walter will see her as a liability and kill her, Lydia proposes a partnership in which Walter expands his distribution overseas to the Czech Republic, which has a high percentage of meth users. When asked why she didn't pitch her idea to Gus, she claims that he had approved her idea before he was killed. When Walter agrees with her proposal, Lydia provides him with a list of nine names. After Lydia leaves, Walter removes his hat from the table, revealing the vial of ricin from his and Jesse's plot to kill Gus, which he then re-hides in his house. Walter calls Todd and asks him to meet with his uncle, Jack (Michael Bowen), who has ties with white supremacist gangs operating in various prisons. Meeting in a motel room, Walter enlists Jack and his men to kill Mike's nine henchmen and their now-imprisoned lawyer Dan (Chris Freihofer), insisting that they be killed simultaneously. In a period of less than two minutes and across three different prisons, the ten are killed. When Hank (Dean Norris) learns of the deaths, he is crushed and tells Walter that he yearns for a simpler job that does not involve "chasing monsters". For the next few months, Walter's meth production runs profitably and uninhibited, raking in millions of dollars. Elsewhere, Marie (Betsy Brandt) encourages Skyler to start repairing the family. Later, Skyler brings Walter to an enormous pile of money she has been collecting in a storage unit. After explaining to a stunned Walter that there is simply too much money to launder, Skyler pleads with him: "I want my kids back. I want my life back. Please tell me. How much is enough? How big does this pile have to be?" Later, Walter relents and informs her that he is "out". In the meantime, Walter visits Jesse. Although Jesse is fearful of Walter, the two reminisce about the simpler days of cooking meth in the RV. When his visit is over, Walter leaves behind two bags. Fearing for his safety, Jesse unzips the bags slowly, only to find them filled with cash. Relieved, Jesse tosses a gun he had been concealing earlier. Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) and Holly move back in with Walter and Skyler, and the family seems to be in repair. During a lunch by the pool with Hank and Marie, Hank leaves to use the bathroom. Rummaging for reading material, he finds Walter's copy of Walt Whitman's ''Leaves of Grass'' under some magazines in the bathroom, the same copy given to Walter by Gale Boetticher. As he thumbs through the pages of the book, Hank finds a handwritten dedication: "To my other favorite W.W. It's an honour working with you. Fondly, G.B." Hank then recalls an earlier conversation, in which Walter jokingly admitted to being the "W.W." found in a handwritten dedication in Gale's lab notebook. Hank becomes visibly shocked, implying that he has at last come to the realization that Walter is Heisenberg. 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「Gliding Over All」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
