20 Best Breaking Bad Moments

18. Hydrofluoric Acid

The series€™ second episode saw one of the first bizarrely humorous moments of a very serious situation that would become one of trademarks of the show€™s particular brand of entertainment. When Walter asks Jesse to dispose of the body of Jesse€™s former partner from the Pilot episode Emilio, he gives Jesse specific instructions to use hydrofluoric acid and a plastic tub. The rebellious and lazy Jesse disobeys Walt and uses the acid to literally dissolve the dead body of Emilio in his own bathtub€ leading to the acid burning a hole through the base and the floor below, spilling Emilio€™s dismembered organs all over the floor in front of them.
€œ[...] you see hydrofluoric acid won't eat through plastic. It will however dissolve metal, rock, glass€ ceramic. So there€™s that.€ €“ Walter.
