After successfully killing Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) following a long feud, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) decides it's time he took over the local meth business. But while Walt is eager to embrace his role as a drug kingpin, his partners—former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and hit man Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks)—are increasingly worried that his ego is getting out of control.
