The new Blu-ray release of Breaking Bad is being advertised as "The Fifth Season" but it actually is only the first half of the fifth season and is comprised of just eight episodes. The final eight episodes are scheduled to begin airing on AMC in August, which means that we will probably see the final Blu-ray release early in 2014. The first episode of Season Five begins with a brief glimpse at what apparently is to come during the final episodes. We flash forward to the future and see Walter White having breakfast at a Denny's in Albuquerque on his birthday. His hair has grown back, he has a full beard, and in general he appears to be disheveled. He now has an assumed name, a New Hampshire driver's license, and a car with New Hampshire plates. A man then enters the restaurant and heads for the men's room. Walt joins him there and slips him an envelope full of cash in return for a set of car keys. Walt goes out to the parking lot and takes a bag out of his car. He then opens the trunk of the new car, and we see what the envelope of cash was for - an M60 machine gun and ammunition.
