El Camino: Every Breaking Bad Character That Appears
6. Todd
Even when Todd was first introduced in the show and brought into Walt’s operation, he was never able to win the favour of Jesse. When a small child stumbled upon their train heist, he was shot dead by Todd without a second thought. This was something Jesse was never able to forgive.
The two then spent a lot of time together while Jesse was trapped in his cell before choking the life out of his captor, yet the time jump at the end of the final Breaking Bad season meant we saw relatively little of this.
El Camino fills in this blank to some degree, showing flashbacks to when the two were left alone for the weekend. Todd took Jesse to his apartment to help remove the body of his housekeeper whom he killed after she found his money stashed away.
Not only did this give a shocking insight into how Jesse was treated for months on end, it also acted as exposition throughout the movie, explaining why he went to Todd’s apartment in the middle of the night, and what he was looking for.
