Alright, Lydia. My friends here don't know you like I do, so they are very kindly giving you one last chance. [pulls out a notepad] There's your script. Study it. In about 30 seconds, I'm gonna dial Agent Schrader on your line here. You're gonna pass along this information, then we'll see what we see. Now here are the rules: If you yell for help, try to give the man some kind of coded message or otherwise tip him off, I am gonna pull out my pistol and shoot you in the head. Same goes for panicking, breaking down into tears–remember how you like to do that–if it happens this time, I am going to pull my pistol out and I am going to shoot you in the head. [sees Lydia look at Walter and Jesse] Look at me, not at them. Lydia, look at me. [Lydia turns to Mike] If you make Schrader suspicious–in any way, any way at all–tell me what's gonna happen next.
LydiaYou'll pull out your gun and shoot me.
And where will I shoot you?
Lydia
In the head.
In the head, that's right. It's a pistol, not a gun. I'm expecting precision here. [turns to Jesse] We up and running?
[nervously] Yeah, um... computer's set.
Okay, Lydia, if you ever needed to give the performance of a lifetime, it's now. [sets the cell phone down] You're up.
Lydia
Maybe we should order something. Do you want a coffee or something?
Lydia
I think this will play better if you order something.
I think this will play just fine. I'm not thirsty. So let's take a look at the list. [pause] Lydia, I've come all this way. You do have the list?
Lydia
Yes, I have it.
Lydia
It's just not written down.
Lydia
It's in my head. Safer there.
I see. Then I suggest you pick up a pen.
Lydia
Not just yet.
It was my understanding that attending to these nine names was precisely what you wanted.
Lydia
Ten names now. Ten. Counting the lawyer.
Yes, ten, counting the lawyer. So... what? Am I not tying up loose ends for our mutual benefit?
Lydia
You are tying up loose ends, and I don't want to be one of them. Once I give you that list, I've served my purpose, and then maybe I'm just one more person who knows too much.
So you put that list in my hands, and in your mind, I immediately just murder you? Just right here, in this restaurant...
Lydia
No. Not right here, of course.
...Right here in this public place, immediately?
Lydia
It's not what I—
Listen, Lydia. You made me promise on my children's lives that I guarantee your safety.
Lydia
From Mike. You guaranteed that I'd be safe from Mike. There's no way he'd ever go for this, you getting rid of his guys. You wouldn't be doing this–the names–if Mike were still a factor.
[Walter stares at Lydia knowingly]
Lydia
Yeah. That's what I thought.
[Last lines of the series; Lydia calls Todd's cell phone, Walter picks it up.]
Lydia
Is it done? Is he gone?
Yeah, it's done. He's gone. They're all gone.
Lydia
...Todd? Who is this?
It's Walt. How are you feeling? Kind of under the weather? Like you've got the flu? That would be the ricin I gave you. I slipped it into that stevia crap that you're always putting in your tea.
Lydia
Oh, my God.
[Walter drops the phone to the ground, then exchanges one final look with Jesse, before the latter drives away]
