Fans of AMC's Breaking Bad, which returns for a fifth and final season on Sunday, July 15, will have one last chance to enjoy some of television's most jaw-droppingly creative acts of violence and emotional torment.
It has been an absolute pleasure to watch mild-mannered and desperate Walter White navigate his own private hell and wreak havoc on the world, right smack in the middle of the Albuquerque meth scene. In case you missed some episodes (or if your nostrils simply flare at the chance to re-experience the blood lust), we've collected clips of the 10 most disturbing scenes in the show's run.
