Breaking Bad Granite State (2008–2013) watch online HD

This is the only time in the entire series where the show's full theme song is played in its entirety.

The final phone call between Walt and Walt Jr. had to be filmed a second time because the original production footage was destroyed during shipping as the film canister fell out of the containing truck and was crushed by a 737.

The Extractor (Ed) runs a service providing people with new identities under the guise of a vacuum cleaner repair shop. This role was played by Robert Forster, who once worked as a vacuum cleaner salesman while struggling as an actor.

On the night that this episode aired (September 22, 2013), the series won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series for the first time. Anna Gunn also won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, also her first.

The drink that Walter White orders at the bar is called a Dimple Pinch. It's a rare, 15 year aged form of Scotch Whiskey produced by one of Scotland's oldest surviving distilleries. Also, Mike's favorite drink.

During the interview with Gretchen and Elliot about their Nobel Prize, Charlie Rose mentions a column written by New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin. The column condemns the actions of the Schwartzes' generous charity for New Mexico drug abuse victims as an attempt to white wash the recent news that surfaced that Walter White may have been the co-founder of Grey Matter Technologies. The Schwartzes instead tell Charlie Rose that the only thing Walter White had to do with the co-founding of Grey Matter Technologies was coming up with the name. In real life, this column was actually written, and an excerpt appears on the New York Times' website.

Robert Forster's character name is never mentioned within the episode. Various press materials reference him as The Extractor or The Disappearer. The name 'Ed' is found in the plot synopsis for this episode on AMC's official Breaking Bad website.

The outdoor mountain scenes that take place in New Hampshire were actually filmed in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico.

When Saul Goodman gets a new identity from the Extractor, a monitor shows his new ID from Nebraska. Saul asks, "what's in Nebraska?" and the Extractor says, "You." Bob Odenkirk who plays Saul Goodman also plays a role in the Movie Nebraska (2013).

Michael Bowen and Robert Forster both previously costarred in Jackie Brown (1997)

The hockey game being played in the background at the bar was a game between the University of Wisconsin Badgers and the University of Denver Pioneers, which took place in Denver on February 13, 1998. The game is considered one of the classics in the history of the University of Wisconsin hockey program. The Badgers came back from a 3-1 deficit, scoring six goals in the third period to record a 7-4 comeback victory over the Pioneers.

Vince Gilligan had difficulty figuring out how to get Walt out of hiding until Kevin Cordasco, a devout Breaking Bad fan with terminal cancer, suggested that the Schwartzes be re-introduced and for them to claim that Walt had nothing to do with the creation of Grey Matter Technologies. Sadly, Cordasco died before getting to watch the episode and the finale of the show. Gilligan even offered to reveal to him how the show would end but Cordasco refused saying "No spoilers, man."

Saul tells Walt that with any luck in a month he would be managing a Cinnabon in Omaha. In the opening scenes of Better Call Saul (2015), he is indeed managing a Cinnabon in Omaha.

The scene where Skyler talks to the federal agents is presented in a nearly identical fashion as the scene from the pilot with Walter's diagnosis.
