Nope. Fortunately, Pinkman managed to bust out of his meth lab prison thanks to the efforts of Walter White. In the Breaking Bad finale, his former partner in crime returned to Jack's compound, mowing down all eight members of the group – and himself – with a crafty mounted machine gun hidden in his car.
He is quickly arrested and interrogated by the APD, who then allows Hank – who now knows that Walt is "Heisenberg", the meth kingpin he has been trying to catch – to question him. Jesse does not confess anything and Saul soon posts his bail.
The series ended with White dying from a gunshot wound after using a remote-controlled machine gun to kill an Aryan Brotherhood gang and free Pinkman, who had been held captive for six months.
Jesse and his 'Camino' to Better Call Saul
Seven years later, fans can finally rest in peace as the final answers are revealed to what happened to Jesse Pinkman after Walter's death. The only thing the fans knew was that he survived the compound stage and made it to Alaska as a free man.

It's been six years since Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) escaped from the cage he was kept in by Todd (Jesse Plemons) and Jack (Michael Bowen) on Breaking Bad, but Netflix's sequel film, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, picks up mere seconds after the show's iconic finale.
When Gilligan was still developing Breaking Bad, he planned to kill off Jesse by the season 1 finale. The move was meant to show that seemingly major characters weren't completely safe on the series. The original story intended for Jesse to die from a botched drug deal.

One of America's most famous criminals, Jesse James, is shot to death by fellow gang member Bob Ford, who betrayed James for reward money.

Jesse Pinkman
After "dueling" with a criminal named Neil over a share of Todd's money, Jesse was able to pay for the service and begins a new life in Alaska. He left a letter for his former girlfriend's son, Brock, but otherwise didn't say goodbye to anyone.
Even as her marriage crumbles, Skyler permits Walt to take care of Holly and defends some of his actions to her lawyer, who advises that she leave Walt immediately. She later finds that Walt has signed off on their divorce and left the house for good.
In the final scene, Hank figures out that Walt is Heisenberg while perusing Walt's copy of “Leaves of Grass” on the toilet. The book is inscribed: “To my other favorite W.W. It's an honor working with you.
Hank refuses to beg for his life and asks Walt how such an intelligent man could be too naive to see that Jack had already made his decision. Hank then tells Jack to do what he has to do and Jack kills him with a shot to the head.
