El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie recap
Jesse Pinkman escapes Jack's compound in Todd's El Camino on the night Walt dies, wanted by the police. He hides with his friends Skinny Pete and Badger and swaps cars. Flashbacks show his captivity, when Todd forced him to help bury a woman he had murdered. Jesse searches Todd's apartment for the cash Todd hid there, but two men posing as police, Neil and Casey, the welders who built Jesse's cage, arrive for the money too, and they split it. Jesse goes to Ed Galbraith, the vacuum repairman who makes people disappear, but is short of the fee.
