Breaking Bad S02E01: Seven Thirty-Seven

Breaking Bad is a critically acclaimed American crime drama series created by Vince Gilligan. The show follows Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who turns to producing and selling methamphetamine after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. In the second season premiere, titled \"Seven Thirty-Seven\", Walter and his partner Jesse Pinkman deal with the aftermath of killing Tuco Salamanca, a ruthless drug lord who kidnapped them.

The episode opens with a mysterious black and white scene of a backyard, where a plastic eyeball and a pink teddy bear are floating in a pool. The eyeball is then sucked into the drain while the teddy bear sinks underwater. The episode then flashes back to the events that led to this scene, starting with Walter and Jesse escaping from Tuco's hideout in the desert. They manage to contact Walter's brother-in-law Hank Schrader, a DEA agent who is hunting for Tuco, and inform him of their location. Hank arrives just in time to shoot and kill Tuco in a gunfight, saving Walter and Jesse.

Walter and Jesse return to their normal lives, but they are haunted by the guilt and fear of being caught. Walter tries to reconcile with his wife Skyler, who is suspicious of his erratic behavior and his lies. Jesse tries to clean up his apartment, where he finds Tuco's grill (a gold-encrusted dental appliance) in his couch. He decides to sell it to a pawn shop for some cash. Meanwhile, Hank is hailed as a hero for killing Tuco, but he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. He is also puzzled by the discovery of Walter's car at the crime scene, which Walter claims was stolen.

The episode ends with Walter calculating how much money he needs to leave behind for his family before he dies. He comes up with the sum of $737,000, which he writes on a piece of paper along with the word \"Seven Thirty-Seven\". He then burns the paper in his fireplace, while the camera zooms out to reveal that his house is located next to the backyard from the opening scene.

The episode \"Seven Thirty-Seven\" is the first of a four-part arc that foreshadows a major event in the season finale. The black and white scenes of the backyard are interspersed throughout the season, revealing more clues and details about what happened. The title of the episode refers to both the amount of money that Walter needs and the model of a plane that crashes over his house. The plane crash is caused by a series of events that are indirectly triggered by Walter's actions, showing the consequences and the moral ambiguity of his choices.

The episode also explores the psychological effects of violence and crime on the characters. Walter and Jesse struggle with their conscience and their paranoia, while Hank faces his own vulnerability and insecurity. The episode also introduces some new characters and conflicts that will play a significant role in the rest of the season. For example, we meet Saul Goodman, a sleazy lawyer who helps Walter and Jesse launder their money and evade the law. We also learn that Tuco's uncle, Hector Salamanca, is a former cartel boss who knows Walter's identity and communicates by ringing a bell.

\"Seven Thirty-Seven\" is a gripping and suspenseful episode that sets the tone and the direction for the second season of Breaking Bad. It showcases the brilliant writing, acting, directing, and cinematography that make this show one of the best in television history. ec8f644aee
