At the end of El Camino, Jesse Pinkman drives into the Alaskan snow with a new name, a new car and no past. A man who runs a vacuum repair shop made it happen, for $250,000.
But the vacuum shop is real. People really pay to vanish, and the FBI really spends decades hunting the ones who pull it off. So could Jesse actually get away with it?
In this video we check El Camino against real life: Japan's "evaporated" people and the companies that move them out at night, the US government's own version of Ed, the Boston mob boss who hid in plain sight for 16 years, and the man who walked away from a $350 million fraud and has never been found.
And at the end: the one thing Jesse does in the last minutes of El Camino that, based on how these people really got caught, is the most dangerous thing he does in the whole movie. It isn't the gunfight.
