Mr. Bai must die

At the end of the fourth season of "Breaking Bad", Mr. Bai said to his wife on the phone: "I won." This is not the first time he has won such a victory. He has done it in the first season. The feat is only more thrilling this time.
As a person who changes his fate by knowledge, he just wants to use his strengths with peace of mind to make and sell drugs, so that his family can live a relatively prosperous life, especially when he is involved in drugs when he knows that he will die soon due to cancer. The power of moral restraint is instinctively ignored. Later, in order to allow the series to continue, the screenwriter let him temporarily get rid of the threat of the disease, and replaced it with the irresistible force of people in the rivers and lakes as the reason why he could not extricate himself on this road of no return, so the screenwriter began to weave on him. The tangled force of the collision of fate, from the drug dealer, from the partner, from the family, from the DEA... The little dark humorous temperament of the drama has disappeared, and the depression and struggle that spread with the plot Gradually and completely occupy the character. We spent four years with Mr. Bai from being a gentle middle school chemistry teacher to a thick black saint. The serial bureau set up by Mr. Bai in the last two episodes took the goodness and evil of human nature as his own survival and survival. The tool of revenge, the price of "I won" is each other's broken bones, Gus is destroyed by flesh, and Mr. Bai is destroyed by humanity.
The fifth season will be the last season of "Breaking Bad", and we will usher in the fateful finale of Mr. Bai together. I feel like it's a mortal figure, either with a cancer relapse, or with a vendetta. For such a plot, sooner or later it will have an unbreakable ending. Of course, the last thing we want to see is Mr. Bai being brought to justice, which is not in line with the audience's expectations for the fate of underworld heroes.
Another most valuable part of "Breaking Bad" is that it has carefully created a normal operation mechanism of a drug ecosystem. From upstream drug lords to shrimp soldiers and crab generals at the end of the food chain, everyone exists in their own pathological ways. Together they follow a cruel survival law, such as the morning dew, the sun and the sun. Gus is the most successful image of a drug lord I have ever seen. He is gentle and low-key, and enthusiastic about public welfare, but he has a sinister hidden inside, acts stubbornly, and has no organs. The fourth season also revealed his history of being abused by the old drug lord Tio and his vicious revenge against Tio, until he was finally set up by Mr. Bai, and the old and new drug lords perished together. Gus finally completed the curtain call of his double-sided life with a half-skull and half-face horror shape, and also completed the cruel metabolism of this criminal industry.
There is a sentence in the American TV series "Super Detective", saying that the average income of drug dealers is not as good as that of people working in hamburger restaurants. I don't know how many bizarre stories have condensed into this simple statement. There are many drug dealers in "Breaking Bad" who have the guts to make money, and Mr. Bai who has the guts to make money but pay a high price to maintain this income. There was an entire episode in the third season about Mr. White and his partner Jessi fighting a fly in the lab, which seems to have nothing to do with the main plot, just to deeply reflect being in a vortex of sin The anxiety, emptiness and panic in the heart of the protagonist in the novel, the fly trapped in the laboratory actually confirms their inevitable end to destruction. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
