Season Four - Episode Seven: "Problem Dog"
I want in
Episode Overview:
As she is preparing to open the car wash, Skyler brusquely orders Walt to return their son’s new car to the dealer. However, upset at being told what to do when it comes to Walt, Jr. and displeased with being given the cold shoulder, Walt instead sets the car ablaze in a large parking lot. As a result, he’s forced to call his lawyer, Saul Goodman, to get him out of trouble with the law. Having agreed to pay more than $50,000 to make the legal problem go away, Walt then asks Saul for help in getting rid of Gus once and for all. And when Walt takes the lawyer’s advice to ask his young partner to take care of the job, Jesse agrees to kill Gus.
She was so shortsighted, open a detailing shop, open a body shop all would reasonably be aligned with the same sort of work.
Faced with Skyler’s frosty, business-like demeanor, Walt strikes a blow of his own by delivering over $250,000 in cash for her to launder through the car wash along with the news that there is much more to come. Leaving his wife to struggle with finding a way to conceal the millions that are coming their way, Walt returns to the lab to prepare a batch of ricin, the same deadly poison he and Jesse used to kill their nemesis, Tuco. Meanwhile, during a trip to Pollos Hermanos with Walt, Jr., Hank gathers fingerprint evidence he hopes will tie Gus to the meth lab.
Accompanying Mike to the high-security headquarters of the meth empire, Jesse is thrust squarely in the middle of Gus’s meeting with a Mexican drug cartel representative. Though the cartel’s message is clear – get out of the drug business, or else – Gus refuses, though he stops short of Mike’s suggestion that he resort to violence. Yet, after Jesse hesitates to take advantage of the opportunity to poison Gus, he begins to regret it after Mike warns him against harboring any misplaced loyalties. Finally, as Jesse heads back to rehab to confront his own inner demons by venting his anger on the addicts gathered there, Hank presents his former DEA colleagues with evidence linking Gus to the manufacture of the potent blue meth they’ve been trying to eradicate in Albuquerque.
This part of the show is pretty unrealistic. You're telling me Gus pays Walt in cash, and gives him no guidance on how to put it under his name in a licit manner? Risking Walt to make simple money laundering 101 mistakes as someone with no experience, and risking Walt getting caught and by extension Gus?
#WalterWhite #SkylerWhite
Walt's dialogue in this scene was so unsatisfying. Writers' laziness.

what was stopping him from starting a trust and getting donation or buying more cash heavy business like a strip club or buying multiple business.
@adhilk5977Why would 50's be a problem, thats a pretty dumb problem to have
@badghostliveThey should've gone with Laser Tag.
@erictrenbeath9680Starting to think that Walter isn't even that smart of a guy. He was mainly just a genius chemist. Soooo dumb in everything else.
@joshuaip4004he would've made 15 Mil with gus without any extra problems 😀
@TahaZabuawalaJust keep doing your thing with the car wash to get a reasonable income stream, hide the rest in various locations, few millions each.
Every retail operation you do from now on can have a secret +10% bonus income. That's an insane business edge over competitors, you can grow organically from there, over years, just a common success story that nobody will feel the urge to investigate.
After 10-15 years you would be a proper multi millionaire. That's basically what gus did, an what real drug dealers do
Skyler is an amateur compared to Ozark Marty Byrde lol
@late-nightfirefly9317you make 7 mill? it will take ted beneky years to spend it....
@WetGrass1Video Title: “Skyler White Can’t Clean The Money Fast Enough”
That sounds like a Skyler problem. Walt was just the chemist not the bookkeeper yo.
Skyler truly didn't believe how much Walt makes in a year. I love how he didn't even bother to tell her that.
@user-ib1sd4qt9bSkyler was her best when she was helping Walt. Wished they would have kept it going.
@TheHunnyBeeeHe offered her a way out. She didn't take it. She didn't trust him to do things right, live under the radar.
@michaelferrell9245What makes me so sad for Skyler is that she was so proud of his brilliance, she knew it and still was okay with supporting him at a position so below his powers - then he comes back at her with a demand she join his sudden bucket list empire and he’s being unreasonable…
@jackiep594This show is so stupid lmao
@ShaneMichealCuppSaul could have laundered the money. Walt and Skylar were too stubborn to just let Saul do it.
@SC-rc4rsGrand Theft Auto — the TV Show. This is why drug dealers hide money in the walls of their house. They can’t show legit income on paper. Like Tony Soprano said, if you can’t show legit income you’re a prime target for the Feds.
@Adarkane325xiThey can always give their money to me 😂. I mean i definetely need them
@Tristanlouisino949gso instead of a carwash, why not invest in a business that actually brings in a lot of money, like idk a restaurant or fast food joint? then there would be no issue of not being able to launder the money
@h51515hGod i hate skylar
@greenman9123Gus spent decades building up his money laundering and distribution system with Los Pollos Hermanos and Walt thinks some dinky car wash can do the same thing.
@EnycmaPieI hate how cocky Walt is in this scene, especially when you consider the fact that he’s talking to his wife, Skylar here.
@rgkong8783Im obviously not an expert in this kind of stuff but if it was too much money to launder why didn't they just hide most of it and slowly add it to the carwash revenue.
@SifGreyfang2:12 Hear that small beep in the background right when Walter offers Skyler out. This could imply that both Walter and Skyler know that the former simply allowing his wife to opt out of this business of laundering his money while he's bringing it all in is definitely not an option. She's too deep in Walter's chaos to just up and leave, he simply wouldn't allow it, even if he had suggested otherwise. Evil.
@AngeryCLHe is making 7 and a half a year which is 625k in a month, but Gus had him an offer of 3 millions for 3 months, which a million a month. Gus was more than generous and Walt still wasn't satisfied.
@Makhambet-n1lWhy is Walt written to be fiscally stupid? lol
@asiaoharasbutterflies9425We shouldn’t have to explain how we get our money, people are to accepting of how things are
@NotSure876Walter was ridiculously dismissive. That his wife actually got onboard and was trying to help him is one heck of a commitment to wedding vows. He should've been far more supportive as well as assuring her this was only to make sure she and the kids were taken care of when he was gone.
But he was just to greedy, stupid and selfish.
One heck of a series, I should watch it again. 😄
But she really wanted the car wash...
@FrankieWilde2021Still way less than Sophie Rain on OF.
@TomFodderWalt's ego, he tried to be Gus and he made everything fall apart.
@r0dr1g0vfNo one in history deserves an infinity of VIOLATING and AGONY more than Skyler White, fictional character or not...
@markwaggener5380Shou have stayed working with Gus
@tylergnosis2581How was Gus even laundering hundreds of millions? His chicken restaurants can't launder that much money, not even KFC could do that
@GhaltouniSkyler: "I want out"
Roll credits
The worst part is that in the end all the money he makes accomplishes nothing.
@jasonsinn9237Just because you shot Jessie James, don't make you Jessie James! 🔥🔥
@YonkoAkagamiShanksWhen you really think about it, maybe buying a car wash wasn't the best Idea.
A single car wash can launder a very limited amount of money per YEAR.
While it does explain where they get some of their money, they could never go beyond that due to the IRS.
You can't buy a brand new car, you can't buy a new house.
And even if they some how managed to explain how they got the money to buy a chain of car washes locations, you would need a LOT of them to launder 15 millions, let alone 7.5 millions.
They are two smart people and they didn't think to just say, ohhh maybe we should open a chain of locations based on the success of the first and continue to expand as needed ...
@kamiraashe says "I never wanted any of this" and Saul says an almost identical line after Jesse beats him up.
@zbaker330Walter simply should have keep his mouth closed and cook he be good all the problem he had was because of ego Gus would have not done anything if he just cook
@DDbbkyujbOther women: "Oooh money! Can't wait to buy a new Burkin, freshen up my wardrobe, fly to Paris, get a blowout every weekend, etc."
Skylar: "It will take years to launder this. Where do I even keep it? Can't be a bank. Also, are these fifties? Who pays for a carwash with a fifty?"
lol. it was 15 million for an open ended contract per year when he was with Gus fring and he can even just let Saul do all the laundering.
@johnD.llengerAfter watching this series I always wonder why Walt didn't just go to Gus to help him launder the money.
@blakelewison9872Or they could expand the business
