-WeII, heIIo again. -Hi, I hope we're not too Iate.
-No, no. Perfect timing. -Okay.
-Stan, this is my husband, WaIt. -Hi.
-Good to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-Sandia Laboratories, huh? -Yeah.
I hear some fascinating stuff goes on out there.
Yeah, welI, you know.
Working on anything you can taIk about?
I'm picturing giant space Iasers. Am I right?
HonestIy, what I do would bore you senseIess.
Giant space Iasers? That sounds cooI. I'II bring it up at our next staff meeting.
-WeII, just remember l get a cut. -AIl right. It's a deal.
So this is it, honey. What do you say? Wanna take a tour?
-Sure. -Okay.
Look, how about I give ya'II some privacy?
I'II go out to the car, make a few caIIs. Take as much time as you need.
-AIl right. -Okay, thanks.
-He's a nice guy. He doesn't push. -Yeah.
So as you can see, there's this kind of flow going on here.
-It's a nice big living room. -Yeah.
And this is the dining area.
-Oh, the dining area. Right. -Yes. Oh, and...
...it's got a pooI.
PooI is nice.
Backyard couId be a littIe bigger.
And-- Oh, there's a breakfast bar kind of deaIie here, which is nice.
And, I don't know, the kitchen's realIy spacious...
...and, you know, got good appIiances and....
How many bedrooms?
Three. ToId you.
They're aIl pretty good size and-- Oh, this is the first one here.
And then there's two more at the back.
OnIy three bedrooms?
We're gonna need at Ieast five, don't you think?
-Five? -Yeah.
What, do l Iook Iike I'm about to drop a litter?
No, no, no. We'II have three kids totaI, eventuaIIy.
Yeah, but we'II need a spare room for a study...
...so that I can work at home and you can write.
Yeah, no. I don't think this is gonna be enough.
Okay, what about a wine celIar?
I mean, we certainIy cannot be expected to Iive without a wine ceIlar.
Very funny. l just think we need to set our sights high is aII.
-At Ieast, higher than here. -WaIt, this is a good neighborhood.
It's got a good eIementary and a very good high schooI...
...and beIieve me, because l have definiteIy looked everywhere.
For our price range, this is as good as it gets.
WeIl, then let's stretch our price range.
Truly. I mean, why...?
Why buy a starter house when we'Il have to move out in a year or two?
Did you win the Iottery and not teIl me?
I'm serious.
Come on. Why be cautious?
We've got nowhere to go but up.
-Yeah. -Walter, you see us?
Yeah. l see you.
l'd Iike you to exit your vehicIe and start walking toward us.
And then what? I'm gonna need some....
Some kind of assurance.
l assure you, I couId kiIl you from way over here...
...if it makes you feel any better.
WaIter, you've been busy.
You wanna put your arms out to your sides for me, if you wouId?
You know I haven't sIept since Thursday?
I was out aII night cIeaning up after you.
I need my sIeep.
You said no haIf measures.
Yeah. Funny how words can be so open to interpretation.
-You get your car fixed? -Not yet.
You're gonna wanna get your car fixed.
Let's see how this goes first.
Has your condition worsened?
-Excuse me? -Your medicaI condition.
-Has it grown worse? -Not that I know of, no.
Is there a ringing in your ears?
Are you seeing bright Iights or hearing voices?
-I'm quite weII, thank you. -No. CIearIy, you are not.
No rationaI person would do as you have done.
ExpIain yourseIf.
My partner was about to get himseIf shot.
I intervened.
Some worthIess junkie.
For him, you intervene and put us aII at risk.
Some contemptibIe junkie who couIdn't keep the peace for eight hours.
That's right. He couldn't.
He was angry because those dealers of yours...
...had just murdered an 1 1-year-old boy.
I heard about it.
He shouId have Iet me take care of them.
Maybe.
Then again, maybe he thought it was you who gave the order.
Are you asking me if I ordered the murder of a child?
I wouId never ask you that.
Where is Pinkman now?
I wouIdn't know.
CoupIe of time zones away, at Ieast.
Beyond that, I'd only be guessing.
He has enough money to Iast forever, he knows he needs to keep moving.
You'II never find him.
I don't know, WaIt...
...it's what I do, after alI.
He's out of the picture.
I saved his Iife, I owed him that, but now he and I are done.
Which is exactly what you wanted, isn't it?
You've aIways struck me as a very pragmatic man.
So if I may, I wouId Iike to review options with you.
Of which, it seems to me, you have two.
Option A:
You kiII me right here and now.
ApparentIy, I have made that very easy for you.
You can kiIl me, no witnesses...
...and then spend the next few weeks or months...
...tracking down Jesse Pinkman and you kilI him too.
A pointIess exercise, it seems to me, but that is option A.
What is option B?
I continue cooking.
You and I both forget about Pinkman.
We forget this ever happened.
We consider this a Ione hiccup...
...in an otherwise Iong and fruitfuI business arrangement.
I prefer option B.
You'd need a new assistant.
-I couId get right on that. -No.
This time, I choose.
Your car...
...get it fixed.
Yeah.
RealIy?
It's good to see you.
Thanks.
It's good to be back.
WeIl, shaII we?
By alI means, GaIe, Iet's cook.
What about that rhinoceros? You think he'd make a good pet?
-No. -No?
Don't you think if you caIIed, he'd come running?
I bet he wouId. I bet he'd come running:
You're siIIy, Pop-Pop.
WeIl, a littIe. But he'd probabIy knock everything over.
-PIus, there's that big nose of his. -That's not a nose, that's a horn.
-Is that so? -His real nose is IittIe.
I learn alI kinds of things being with you.
Okay, June bug, these are for you.
-What about the rest? -The rest are for me.
No, they're not. You're too oId for baIloons.
You're never too oId for baIloons. Give me a hug.
I see your mama. Don't keep her waiting.
-Bye, Pop-Pop. -Bye, baby.
Hi, sweetie. Did you have fun with Pop-Pop?
PIease. Please, no.
Chow, you have anything you wanna teII me?
Thank God you're here. They keep me prisoner.
-They keep you prisoner. -I don't do nothing for them ever.
They try and make me. I say, no.
They steaI my chemicaIs. I can't stop them. I am businessman.
You're a business-- The Iady out front--
Hey, Iady, are you stiII there? Ask her if she's stilI there.
She says, yes.
How's her driving? Driving. Is she good behind the wheeI?
Good. She's good driver.
Licensed? DependabIe?
She has a Camry.
Good.
The trucks wiIl be here first thing in the morning.
I strongly recommend that you return our caIls next time.
So have her drive you to the hospitaI.
She's gonna need her shoe.
-Where'd they cross? -Laredo, Iooks Iike.
They didn't exactIy send their A pIayers.
But Iike you said, it's carteI, alI right.
Probing for weakness.
WeIl, they didn't find any.
What about Pinkman?
I'm making inquiries.
Yeah, that's two. AIl right, let's close it up.
AIl right, bring it down.
You ready?
Okay, we're good.
You can take your mask off now.
Does that guy ever Ieave?
When exactIy did that start?
It's new.
We had a....
We had a IittIe drama with the person you replaced.
-Sorry to hear that. -No, it'Il be fine.
Things wiIl continue to smooth out and....
Yeah, it'lI be fine.
By the way, if you're at aII worried about working with me--
No, I'm not.
Whatever my shortcomings Iast time...
...l intend for things to go perfectIy from here on out.
-So if there is--? -Gale, you're great.
-SeriousIy. -I just....
However you Iike things to be done is exactIy how we're gonna do them.
Period.
From here on out, so....
PIease, teach me.
Okay.
GaIe. It's good to see you.
Mr. Fring.
Wow, this is--
I should have caIIed. I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
No. No, no, not at alI. PIease, come in.
Can l offer you something? A crème de menthe?
No. No, thank you.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh, no, no. It's no inconvenience.
I need to taIk to you about something.
Something rather pressing.
If push came to shove, I was wondering...
...how soon you might be abIe to take over the Iab yourseIf.
You and an assistant.
Why wouId...?
-Why wouId push come to shove? -Has Walter ever talked to you...
...about why he got into this particular line of work?
I guess I assumed it was because it pays so weIl.
It is, but specificaIIy...
...has he ever spoken to you about his heaIth probIems?
I'm not surprised. He's a very private person.
What exactIy are his heaIth probIems?
He's dying of cancer.
It is why he does this, to provide for his famiIy, which he's accompIished.
They wiIl never want for anything, he's seen to that.
How Iong does he have?
That is very much the question.
He does not wanna taIk about it. And every time I bring it up with him....
I don't know that he's fuIly accepted the reaIity of it.
And not to sound coId-blooded, but I am running a business here.
-No, I understand. -I have a very Iarge investment in this.
There's so much overhead that I can't afford to shut down.
Not even for a week.
So you understand my concern.
And my desire for continuity.
I do. AbsoIuteIy.
Now, I intend to keep WaIter on as long as he wants...
...assuming that he's physicalIy up to it.
But as he cannot or wiII not telI me how Iong that might be...
...l must prepare for the worst-case scenario.
WeIl, worst-case scenario....
I suppose if we had...
...at Ieast a few more cooks together.
You don't think you're ready now?
WeIl, I mean...
...he is such a....
A master.
There's aIways more for me to Iearn.
But l'm thinking that if we had...
...say...
...one or two more cooks.
One more...
...l guess wouId do it. l suppose.
I beIieve in you, GaIe.
I know that when the time comes, you wiIl be ready.
What's up?
WaIt, is there...?
Any particuIar trick to purging the cataIyst bed?
No, it's pretty straightforward. I'II show you when we get there.
Yeah?
TeII him l'm in conference.
-I'm in conference. -I'm looking to find a cIient of yours.
I was hoping you couId heIp me out with an address.
-Which cIient? -Jesse Pinkman.
Jesse-Pinkman-in-the-phone-book Jesse Pinkman.
How wouId one track him down, I wonder.
-You're stiII here. -I need your fuIl attention, SauI.
Jesse Pinkman. Current whereabouts.
The sooner you teII me, the sooner you get back to whatever this is.
What am I, an 8th-grade haIl monitor? Current whereabouts.
-Let me teIl you something, Mike, you-- -Whoa, you are good right there.
Now, Iet's both get comfortabIe.
Now, when l say, I'm looking for Pinkman...
...we both know why, don't we?
You pretending otherwise only wastes my time and serves to annoy me.
Look, Mike...
...there are ruIes to this Iawyer thing.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
Attorney-cIient priviIege. That's a big one.
That's something I provide for you.
So if I give up Pinkman...
...then you're gonna be asking, "Saul gives them up pretty easy.
What's to keep him from giving me up?" You see?
So then, where's the trust?
I trust the hole in the desert I'd Ieave you in.
Yeah, that's an argument.
SauI...
...don't make me beat you tiIl your legs don't work.
Now teII me where to find him. You know it's the right thing.
I can't teIl you, Mike, aIl right? I....
Look, if I was to teII you, weIl, I just-- I couIdn't Iive with myself.
I'm sorry.
But who's to say I didn't write the address down in my day pIanner?
Or on a scratch piece of paper somewhere?
Who's to say I didn't write down a location...
...strictIy for my own professionaI use?
Do not touch anything on my desk.
I'm gonna Ieave the room, make myself a Nescafé.
I'm just looking out for you, that's aII. Like a mother hen.
Money-Iaundering ain't what it used to be. God, do I miss the '80s.
You're wasting your time. I'm buying the car wash, end of story.
WeIl, one look at this place, you're gonna faIl in Iove, so....
Was I right? Where else you gonna find a cash-onIy business that's this fun?
UnIess we're taIking massage parIors, and, l don't see it. ShaII we?
You ever actualIy pIay Iaser tag?
You know, it's good cardio. PIus, you get to shoot at kids.
You got your bumper cars over there down that way.
Got your arcade here, aII the Iatest video games.
Snack bar's there. Nothing stopping you from selIing beer to the parents.
-That's a whoIe new revenue stream-- -AIl right, aIready. We're good.
HoIy Christ.
We're good? This constitutes good where you're from?
-My car is bugged? -I said, maybe. Maybe bugged.
I'm being foIIowed? What the heII have you gotten me into?
My own PI is threatening to break my Iegs. That's like Thomas Magnum...
...threatening that IittIe prissy guy with the mustache.
Over and above. Service-wise, this is over and above.
You and I survive this...
...l'm seriousIy rethinking my pricing, yeah.
And that goes doubIe for you, Hip-Hop.
Okay, my guy's no dummy, right?
I give us maybe 24 hours before he figures out that address goes nowhere.
You guys do your thing, make it snappy.
I'II go see if they have "Tetris" or something.
So how you holding up?
You?
I got my old job back.
At Ieast untiI they kiII me and GaIe takes over.
-So he's their boy, huh? -He's their boy.
How Iong you think you've got?
WeIl, he asks a lot of questions about the cooking process.
I try to be as vague as possibIe, but I got that guy Victor watching me...
...listening to every word I say.
You know, maybe that the onIy thing saving me is GaIe's fastidiousness.
And once he feeIs confident that he knows my entire method....
So, what do we do?
You know what we do.
There's got to be some other way.
Maybe it's better for you to just go to the cops.
AIl right? I mean, I can't believe I'm saying that and alI...
...but for your famiIy.
The DEA wouId Iove you, aII the shit you couId telI them.
FederaI witness protection, that's a good deaI.
As for me, I'II hit the road, yo. I mean, l'Il make it.
We had a good run.
But it's over.
Never the DEA.
The cook can't stop.
That's the one thing l'm certain of, production cannot stop.
Gus can't afford to.
So if I'm the only chemist that he's got...
...then I've got Ieverage, and leverage keeps me alive.
It keeps you alive too. I think I can see to that.
If l'm the onIy chemist that he's got.
I can't do it, Mr. White.
Like you said, l'm....
I'm not a....
I can't do it.
I'II do it.
I'm gonna need your heIp.
I mean, they're watching me day and night.
They never Ieave me aIone with GaIe, not for a moment.
HeII, I don't even know where the man lives.
He's not in the phone book, I can't find him on the Internet...
...and I can't do it in the Iab, Victor's aIways there.
But if I couId just...
...shake Victor, for even an hour one night...
...l think then that....
I may be abIe...
...to make it look like an accident.
There's got to be some other way.
I'm aIl ears.
But when it comes down to you and me versus him, I'm sorry.
I'm truIy sorry...
...but it's gonna be him.
Now, you are the onIy edge that I've got...
...as Iong as they don't know that you're in town.
But l need you to track him, get me his address.
And I'lI do the rest.
Look, l saved your Iife, Jesse.
Are you gonna save mine?
Yeah?
PIease, teII me you found him.
6353 Juan Tabo BouIevard. Apartment 6.
-You there? -Yeah.
6353 Juan Tabo. Number 6. Got it.
-He's home? -Yep.
Anyone watching the place?
No. Looks pretty much wide-open.
When are you gonna do it?
Tonight.
Once it gets dark.
Don't do this, Mr. White.
PIease. Go to the cops.
We got a problem.
Some kind of chemicaI Ieaking in your Iab.
Better come with me.
I'II foIIow you.
They telI me to bring you, I bring you. Come on, get in the car.
I don't know if it's a barreI Ieak...
...but you got something mighty stinky down there.
After you.
WaIter, the sooner you figure out what this is, the sooner we alI go home.
PIease, don't do this.
Mike...
...you don't have to do this.
Yeah, unfortunately, I do, WaIter.
Downstairs.
I'II cook. I'II cook for free. There won't be any more trouble, l promise you.
-No. -If I couId taIk to Gus--
-No. -...I can make him understand.
If l could taIk to Gus, I can convince him.
Just let me, please-- Please.
-PIease, let me talk to him. -Shut up! Shut up.
I can't do it. I'm sorry.
I'II give you Jesse Pinkman.
Like you said, he's the problem. He's aIways been the problem.
And without him, we wouId-- And he's in town, aIl right?
He's not in Virginia or wherever you're looking.
He's right here in Albuquerque and l could take you to him.
I'II take you right to him.
-What do you say? -Where is he?
-Right now, you give me an address. -I don't-- He moves. He moves around.
But if you Iet me caII him-- No, no, pIease.
No, I just-- My phone. I'lI just--
It's just my phone. l'Il caII him and l'Il have him meet me.
AIl right? Okay?
Okay?
Did you do it?
Mr. White?
Did you do it?
No, I didn't do it.
I can't now.
-It's gonna have to be you. -What? No way, man.
You're cIoser than we are. You'II have a 20-minute Iead.
They've got me, they're going to kilI me.
-Jesse, do it now! Do it! -Son of a bitch!
Do it, Jesse! Do it!
Just what the heII was that exactIy?
You might wanna hoId off.
Yeah?
-Why? -Because your boss is gonna need me.
6353 Juan Tabo, Apartment 6.
Yeah.
Hi. How can l heIp you?
Take whatever you want.
I have money. l have--
I got a Iot of money.
I have....
PIease, don't do this.
You don't-- You....
You-- You don't have to do this.
