Walter White of Breaking Bad is NOT Dead!

For a fun application of strategy;

God save me, I love Breaking Bad and hate to see Walter White bite the big one.  But, Walter never gives up and always has plan B going in the background. And here’s my take on the whole Plan B thing.

To start with, in my totally fictitious take that does not imply an actual planned episode or even suggest an endorsement by the creators of Breaking Bad, Walt does NOT die! The next episode starts with paramedics arriving just in time to save him. And after a few days in a comma, we discover that, while mounting a Gatlin gun in the trunk of his car, he was working out Plan B in his head.

What we didn’t see in the final episode of last season was one of Jesse’s old cohorts, Badger, now working for Walt, walking in on Lydia Rodarte-Quayle just as she learns she was poisoned as Walt hangs up on her. Badger tells her that, under Mr White’s direction, he’ll give her the antidote, if she gives him enough info to take down her European connections, which she does. Badger gives her the antidote, which is actually more racine. She dies soon after. 

Badger holds onto the info as Walt negotiates a deal with the feds. He’s promised a ton of cash to hang onto it. We also discover that Gretchen and Elliot Swartz are contacted by Saul Goodman, also under threat of exposure by Walt, the day after Walt meets with them to launder the cash. Saul arranges for a safe meeting place where he records a conversation between the Swartzes and the laundry man. 

Meanwhile, the Swartzes, still fearing for their life and at Saul’s insistence, make a donation as directed by Walt to Walt’s family. Walt uses the donation as an excuse to have them visit him in jail with Saul to thank them. Under attorney client privilege, Walt informs them that he wants 30% of the business in exchange for not revealing the recordings to the feds, which Saul plays for them from his laptop, along with testimony that they willingly participated in his criminal ventures.

In the closing segment, Walt negotiates a new identity that he uses to take his 30% of Swartzes business, his family gets the original donation. He then picks up the phone and calls Saul, asking him to find Jesse.

Of course this is how I'd do it, if I were in charge. But I'm not and only wishing.

Now THAT’s business strategy that considers all the angles!
