1 00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,493 I got it, I got it.

2 00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:19,830 You're like a bee at a damn picnic, Marie.

3 00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:23,333 -Morning. -Hey, buddy.

4 00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,295 -Ready to get your rocks on? -See? I knew it.

5 00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:30,173 "Mineral show" is just some sort of guy code for "strip club."

6 00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:32,759 Yeah. You got your singles?

7 00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,429 -Got it? -Yeah.

8 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:40,809 Don't let him get too crazy, okay?

9 00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:44,646 Cram one more giant geode in here, we'll be sleeping in the garage.

10 00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:47,149 -Got it. I got it. -I'm sorry.

11 00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:56,241 Christ. Longest week ever.

12 00:01:57,826 --> 00:02:00,037 Here's just hoping we get something good.

13 00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,623 Keep your fingers crossed.

14 00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:09,963 Relax, buddy, this ain't no spy movie.

15 00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:12,966 It's more like Rocky, you know?

16 00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:26,271 Get the bad guy.

17 00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:30,317 Yeah!

18 00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,953 -But-- What are you doing, buddy? -Leaving.

19 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,873 You gotta go inside, order something like last time. Avoid suspicion.

20 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,418 Besides, I want a vanilla shake.

21 00:03:30,252 --> 00:03:32,754 We'll use the drive-through.

22 00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:42,597 All right, baby, let's see what we got.

23 00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:03,201 What the hell? Look at this.

24 00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:08,749 That's work. That's home. That's work, that's home.

25 00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:11,168 What, this guy...

26 00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:13,587 ...he goes two places every day, all week?

27 00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:16,047 It's unbelievable.

28 00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:19,676 Chicken-slinging son of a bitch.

29 00:04:21,052 --> 00:04:26,057 Hank, is it possible that maybe, just maybe...

30 00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,852 ...he's not your guy?

31 00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:32,147 A guy this clean has got to be dirty.

32 00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,401 What's the play here, buddy?

33 00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:39,196 How do I get this guy?

34 00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:41,490 Yeah.

35 00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:43,325 How?

36 00:05:43,552 --> 00:05:45,053 Yes, hi.

37 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:50,141 I live on the 4900 block of Doswell Place and I want to report...

38 00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:53,436 ...a very suspicious man lurking in my neighborhood.

39 00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:55,354 He's sitting in a blue sedan...

40 00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:59,860 ...and he's been staring at a particular house for a very long time.

41 00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,653 Thank you. Thank you so much.

42 00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,781 If you would, I would appreciate it.

43 00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:39,190 All right.

44 00:06:39,357 --> 00:06:41,943 I guess we'd better get started.

45 00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:44,070 I already did.

46 00:06:46,448 --> 00:06:47,908 Yeah?

47 00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:54,456 Hey.

48 00:06:57,918 --> 00:06:59,377 Got one of those for me?

49 00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,297 -One of those what? -Cigarette.

50 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,387 Look, it's still in there, all right? I didn't get a chance yet.

51 00:07:13,224 --> 00:07:15,936 Just give me one.

52 00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:43,004 So, what have you been up to?

53 00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:44,798 What?

54 00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:50,053 You know, just a day in the life. What do you do after work?

55 00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:54,641 Go home. Watch TV.

56 00:07:54,849 --> 00:07:56,351 What do you watch?

57 00:07:56,518 --> 00:07:58,061 I don't know, stuff.

58 00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:00,397 Well, like what?

59 00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:06,903 Like Ice Road Truckers.

60 00:08:07,112 --> 00:08:09,489 Ice Road Truckers.

61 00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,241 What happens on that one?

62 00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:14,577 Guys drive on ice.

63 00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:23,003 I am gonna do it.

64 00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:32,012 You gotta inhale, by the way.

65 00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:38,518 What the hell, man? Don't you have enough cancer already? Look.

66 00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:41,271 I said...

67 00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:45,483 ...I'd do it. I'll do it.

68 00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,528 Yeah, well...

69 00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:50,655 ...what does it matter?

70 00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:53,324 We're both dead men anyway.

71 00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:30,278 -Hi. -Hi.

72 00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:32,822 Am I catching you at a bad time?

73 00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:35,450 No. I have a few minutes.

74 00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:37,952 So Mr. I'm-Almost-Sixteen-Leave-Me-Alone...

75 00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:41,956 ...doesn't want a big birthday, just wants to hang out with friends...

76 00:09:42,123 --> 00:09:45,043 -...which is fine by me. You? -Fine by me.

77 00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:50,715 Okay. So I figured a low-key family dinner, no official party...

78 00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,884 ...and we bite the bullet...

79 00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:55,720 ...and buy him a car.

80 00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:59,140 Used, I was thinking, would be best.

81 00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:04,437 But no more than five years old. Airbags, safety-rated, all that.

82 00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:07,982 Do you have any thoughts on what kind?

83 00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:10,902 Or should I just go ahead and--

84 00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:13,905 Yeah. You just go ahead.

85 00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:15,782 Okay.

86 00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:21,871 Listen, on another subject, I just wanted to tell you...

87 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,082 ...that business is good.

88 00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:26,417 Really good.

89 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,839 So good that I'm thinking, maybe...

90 00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:33,216 ...you don't need to even work...

91 00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:35,718 ...your second job.

92 00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:44,644 -You're turning a profit? -We're coming close.

93 00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:50,400 Give us another month or two and, yeah, we'll be there.

94 00:10:51,109 --> 00:10:53,444 All of this to say...

95 00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:57,824 ...maybe you could start thinking about an exit strategy.

96 00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:02,871 I'm working on it.

97 00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:07,000 Okay.

98 00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:39,032 -Hello? -Hey, buddy. Wake you?

99 00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:42,827 No, Hank. I'm up.

100 00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:45,747 Good. What you doing?

101 00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:47,415 I'm....

102 00:11:47,582 --> 00:11:50,543 Hey, listen, I'll cut to it. Another favor to ask.

103 00:11:50,752 --> 00:11:53,880 I'm thinking about . How he never goes anywhere.

104 00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,132 One restaurant, home, back and forth?

105 00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:58,426 I'm even more convinced it's bullshit...

106 00:11:58,593 --> 00:12:01,054 ...because he owns 13 other restaurants. Right?

107 00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:04,349 So I start thinking about this little empire of his.

108 00:12:04,515 --> 00:12:08,394 Fourteen restaurants. Who supplies them? What's the base of operations?

109 00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,772 So I do a little digging, and bingo.

110 00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:13,650 Pollos has a main distribution center.

111 00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:15,401 It's not far from town.

112 00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,111 The place is huge. I mean...

113 00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:20,949 ...I'm looking at it online now. It's a big warehouse...

114 00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:24,869 ...and rows of these long, poultry buildings...

115 00:12:25,036 --> 00:12:27,247 ...or hatcheries, whatever you call them.

116 00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:31,960 Lots of space to hide illicit activity. Sounds promising, right?

117 00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:38,424 So, what do you say, buddy? Got another field trip in you?

118 00:12:41,511 --> 00:12:44,347 You know, Hank, I'm-- I'm-- I'm--

119 00:12:44,514 --> 00:12:48,434 I mean, it sounds great, it really does. But I'm--

120 00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:51,354 You know, I won't lie.

121 00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:54,732 You've caught me somewhat...

122 00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,485 ...indisposed.

123 00:12:58,152 --> 00:13:00,738 What do you mean, like taking-a-dump indisposed?

124 00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:05,451 Yeah. That's embarrassing.

125 00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,953 That's it.

126 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,208 You know, it's just upset stomach and, you know, everything--

127 00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:15,378 -Yeah. -It's out of control.

128 00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:19,549 And it's really explosive. Bad Tex-Mex...

129 00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:22,427 -...at the mall. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it.

130 00:13:22,593 --> 00:13:24,470 You don't have to paint a picture.

131 00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:27,015 One guy in a diaper is enough for this trip.

132 00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,726 -Yeah, and I'm sorry, Hank. -Hey, don't be.

133 00:13:29,892 --> 00:13:34,439 I've been asking a lot of you lately. I appreciate it. I'll find another ride.

134 00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,111 -Another ride? -Yeah.

135 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,031 I'm sure I can get someone else to take me.

136 00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:45,408 My trainer, Chuck. Maybe I'll ask him.

137 00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:49,787 Well, look, I'm-- This is probably just a 24-hour thing.

138 00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:52,040 Maybe 48 hours at the most.

139 00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:58,004 And do you think you can possibly hold off for a day or two?

140 00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:01,674 Jeez, buddy, I mean, I....

141 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,886 You know, I just-- I would just really...

142 00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:08,431 ...love to be the one to be able to take you there.

143 00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:12,310 And, I mean, I've just really...

144 00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:16,147 ...enjoyed, you know, the time with you...

145 00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:19,359 -...and helping you and-- -Well, yeah.

146 00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:22,695 Okay, sure. If it means that much to you.

147 00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:26,366 Just, you know, give me a call when you're feeling up to it.

148 00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:29,827 Thank you. I will. Okay.

149 00:14:29,994 --> 00:14:31,496 Bye.

150 00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:56,145 -Yeah. -Mike, listen.

151 00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:59,440 I just want to say first off, don't be angry.

152 00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:00,858 What is it, Walter?

153 00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:04,737 My brother-in-law, my DE-- He....

154 00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:09,450 Soon, he will probably, in the near future...

155 00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:12,787 ...take a ride out to a certain distribution center...

156 00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:17,166 ...to look around for things.

157 00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:18,835 Just...

158 00:15:19,877 --> 00:15:23,589 ...look around for things. And, yeah.

159 00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:30,763 Mike?

160 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,034 -Where's this all going? -Elsewhere.

161 00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:06,549 Thank you. Please give this to your car-care professional.

162 00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:20,229 So a hand wax for you today?

163 00:16:20,438 --> 00:16:22,064 Okay, great.

164 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,113 Please give this to your car-care professional.

165 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,658 And the black Explorer, we could shampoo your floor mats...

166 00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,661 ...but deluxe detailing is the best for your buck.

167 00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,581 And SUV's are extra.

168 00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:42,126 And please give this to your car-care professional.

169 00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:43,461 Thank you.

170 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,465 Please give this to your car-care professional.

171 00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:52,970 Hey, Sky.

172 00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:56,224 Oh, my God. Ted.

173 00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:57,683 What are you...?

174 00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,477 Someone from the office...

175 00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:03,648 ...said you worked here. So I thought I'd come down and say hi.

176 00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:04,899 Well...

177 00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:07,193 ...hello.

178 00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:08,903 You look great.

179 00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:13,157 No. No, I don't. I probably just look crazed.

180 00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,535 Not at all. You look happy.

181 00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,204 Last time I saw you....

182 00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:24,502 Hi, there.

183 00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:26,546 I guess, Skyler...

184 00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:30,967 ...I'm gonna need to talk to you.

185 00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:39,809 Ted, I really don't think we have anything to talk about.

186 00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:42,311 Actually, we do.

187 00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:47,817 An audit? Wait, an audit tomorrow?

188 00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:52,446 -How long have you had this? -A while.

189 00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:55,950 I debated, you know, contacting you.

190 00:17:56,117 --> 00:17:58,619 Contact me? What about a lawyer, Ted?

191 00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:00,705 Ted, this is....

192 00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:02,832 This is the CID.

193 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,710 The criminal division.

194 00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:09,964 My God, you're facing a felony charge here.

195 00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:13,718 A $100,000 fine on top of the taxes you already owe...

196 00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:16,596 -...plus five years in prison. -Yeah.

197 00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,139 -It's bad. -Yeah.

198 00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:21,601 It most certainly is.

199 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,856 Look, here's the thing. I was wondering, maybe...

200 00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:29,442 ...if you could help with this.

201 00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,277 Help?

202 00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:33,404 Help how?

203 00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:36,991 Well, with your knowledge of how the books...

204 00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:40,828 ...got the way they are, maybe there's some way...

205 00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:43,539 ...you could undo what's in there.

206 00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:46,500 You want me to uncook your books?

207 00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:51,255 Maybe there's some method or some accounting trick you could use--

208 00:18:51,422 --> 00:18:54,342 Ted, it doesn't work like that.

209 00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,594 The damage is already--

210 00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:02,308 My name.

211 00:19:03,225 --> 00:19:04,935 My signatures...

212 00:19:05,102 --> 00:19:07,688 ...are all those books.

213 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:10,524 Skyler, I'm accountable, not you.

214 00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:13,402 Let me explain what's going to happen here, okay?

215 00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:16,572 Once the CID sees this is willful tax fraud...

216 00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:19,950 ...they will build the strongest possible case against you.

217 00:19:20,117 --> 00:19:24,622 Once they start down that path, they have an 80 percent conviction rate.

218 00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:27,708 That's because they're allowed to monitor your mail...

219 00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:32,046 ...and tap your phones, and not just you, Ted...

220 00:19:32,213 --> 00:19:35,466 ...everyone involved in those books.

221 00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:41,347 I can't have this in my life.

222 00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:44,058 I cannot be audited.

223 00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:47,812 Skyler, you're going to be fine, okay? They're after me.

224 00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:51,315 It's the captain they want, not some cashier at a car wash.

225 00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:55,861 No offense.

226 00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:59,115 I'm sorry. I....

227 00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:02,618 Look, I don't want you to worry, okay?

228 00:20:03,577 --> 00:20:08,290 I'm going to figure out a way through this, somehow. Okay?

229 00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,301 Here.

230 00:20:38,446 --> 00:20:40,030 So is he gonna kill him?

231 00:20:43,868 --> 00:20:45,619 Is who gonna kill who?

232 00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:49,665 Gus.

233 00:20:49,832 --> 00:20:52,918 Is he gonna kill Mr. White's brother-in-law?

234 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,675 I mean, he's the reason for all of this here, right?

235 00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:06,932 Because it's totally logical for him to off the dude.

236 00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:13,606 A-hole DEA agent poking around your junk.

237 00:21:15,316 --> 00:21:17,777 Who needs that, right?

238 00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:23,824 Makes sense to get rid of him for good.

239 00:21:29,538 --> 00:21:33,000 But killing a cop...

240 00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:35,085 ...I don't know.

241 00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:38,923 It could look suspicious...

242 00:21:39,089 --> 00:21:43,761 ...if the dude who's investigating you suddenly up and dies.

243 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,019 Then there's-- There's Mr. White...

244 00:21:53,562 --> 00:22:00,236 ...who would be even more apeshit if he had family getting murdered.

245 00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,117 He'd never cook for Gus again.

246 00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:17,294 Guess there's a lot of angles to consider.

247 00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,886 If something were to happen to him, would you have a problem with that?

248 00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:33,394 Who really cares what I think?

249 00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:30,075 Son of a bitch.

250 00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:35,497 You get comfortable, kid. We may be here a while.

251 00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:50,346 Hey.

252 00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:51,597 Get down!

253 00:24:54,702 --> 00:24:56,662 Tell them...

254 00:24:57,913 --> 00:25:01,542 ...the answer is "yes."

255 00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:38,912 -Should I even ask? -I wouldn't.

256 00:25:45,169 --> 00:25:48,922 So, what? Is this going to be a regular thing now?

257 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,634 Meth cooking and corpse disposal? Jesus.

258 00:25:53,177 --> 00:25:55,512 Just grab us a spare barrel, Walter.

259 00:25:57,681 --> 00:25:59,224 What was it this time?

260 00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:02,311 What did this poor bastard do to piss off Gus?

261 00:26:02,478 --> 00:26:04,646 Or did Gus need to send another message?

262 00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:06,106 Shut your mouth.

263 00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:09,151 You shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you.

264 00:26:09,567 --> 00:26:13,614 I don't want you talking to me or Jesse. Just get the barrel.

265 00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:18,576 And if you ever plan on calling the cops on one of my guys again...

266 00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:22,915 ...you go ahead and get two barrels.

267 00:27:01,411 --> 00:27:02,704 Like...

268 00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:07,251 ...I guess I never thanked you for what you did.

269 00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:10,379 Thanks.

270 00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:17,136 Next time don't stand there like an idiot.

271 00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:20,430 Move your feet. Running and so forth.

272 00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:23,142 But seriously, what--?

273 00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:26,019 -What was the deal with Gus? -The deal?

274 00:27:26,812 --> 00:27:30,315 That Terminator shit. Walking right into the bullets.

275 00:27:30,524 --> 00:27:32,568 What the hell was he doing?

276 00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:35,237 The cartel needs Gus.

277 00:27:35,404 --> 00:27:38,656 His distribution network. They're not looking to kill him.

278 00:27:38,824 --> 00:27:41,952 But, what? The rest of us are like open season?

279 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,539 Is he doing anything about that, or do we keep hanging out...

280 00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:48,208 -...for target practice while he--? -Kid.

281 00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:53,463 Enough. You got questions, ask him yourself.

282 00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,351 And here again.

283 00:28:07,311 --> 00:28:09,188 Unreported income.

284 00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:12,774 That's more than a year straight so far.

285 00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:18,655 You want to say something about this? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

286 00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,908 I'd have to...

287 00:28:22,451 --> 00:28:25,913 ...have a look at the copies of the receipts to refresh my memory.

288 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,000 Take all the time you need, Mr. Beneke. That's why we're here.

289 00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:37,758 Oh, I am so sorry I am late.

290 00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:39,968 I got lost. Hey, Ted.

291 00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:44,389 -Sky. -This building is so confusing.

292 00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:46,558 There are doors everywhere.

293 00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:49,937 -Hi. You are...? -Special Agent James Bekaris.

294 00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,314 "Special." Skyler White.

295 00:28:54,024 --> 00:28:56,735 Ms. White, you are the accountant of record...

296 00:28:56,902 --> 00:28:59,446 ...for many of these reports, is that correct?

297 00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,990 -Guilty as charged. -Can you shed light...

298 00:29:02,157 --> 00:29:04,368 ...on this history of missing revenue?

299 00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:06,912 Missing? No, it's there.

300 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,290 No. Revenue most definitely flowed through this company...

301 00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:13,585 ...but it's not all accounted for in your reports.

302 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:20,801 Let's take a look.

303 00:29:21,677 --> 00:29:23,971 Oh, well, you know...

304 00:29:24,304 --> 00:29:27,432 ...this account here, that is Mr. Keller's account.

305 00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:30,269 And Mr. Keller is an old friend of Ted's dad.

306 00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:32,813 He always sends an electronic payment...

307 00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:35,732 ...which I hate, because I'm a real-paper person.

308 00:29:35,983 --> 00:29:38,610 Mr. Keller is one of those environmental people.

309 00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,988 Since there wasn't a physical check...

310 00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:44,992 ...I didn't enter it into the book. But the money is there.

311 00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:50,289 Ms. White, you've read Section 61 of the IRC?

312 00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:53,417 I did not follow what you just said.

313 00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:58,422 How gross income for a business is defined, you're not allowed to do that.

314 00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:00,882 -Well, I think I am. -No, you're not.

315 00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:05,304 Well, you know what they say about opinions, right? Everyone's got one.

316 00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:08,181 But seriously, I am.

317 00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:12,019 It doesn't matter if it's an electronic check or a paper check...

318 00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:15,355 ...income is income. You're not allowed to not declare it.

319 00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:18,358 When I input everything into the Quicken...

320 00:30:18,525 --> 00:30:22,696 ...nothing flashed red, so that's gotta mean it's okay, right?

321 00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:25,324 Quicken.

322 00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:30,370 You used Quicken to manage books for a business this size.

323 00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:33,790 I did. Do you guys use that here? Because it is the best.

324 00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:37,544 It's like having a calculator on your computer. Amazing.

325 00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:40,630 -Ms. White, how did you get this job? -Ted hired me.

326 00:30:40,797 --> 00:30:43,091 No, I mean your qualifications.

327 00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:46,720 What are your qualifications? Where did you get your training?

328 00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,931 Well, I haven't had any training, per se.

329 00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:52,559 I've always been naturally good with numbers.

330 00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:56,188 Got a good instinct for them. Right, Teddy?

331 00:30:59,941 --> 00:31:01,026 Right.

332 00:31:01,610 --> 00:31:05,739 This is all falling into place now.

333 00:31:09,034 --> 00:31:13,080 Ms. White, I just have to ask. You're not managing accounts...

334 00:31:13,246 --> 00:31:17,209 -...anywhere else, are you? -Right now? No.

335 00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:19,669 I'm a cashier at a car wash.

336 00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:25,050 I'm not really clear about what happened in there.

337 00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:28,512 What happened was good news. Ignorance of the law...

338 00:31:28,678 --> 00:31:32,432 ...doesn't equate to criminality. It equates to ignorance.

339 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,893 Pay your back taxes, pay the penalties...

340 00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:37,729 ...and move on from this. Just put it behind you.

341 00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:39,606 Pay with what?

342 00:31:39,773 --> 00:31:42,275 I owe them $617,000. What am I--?

343 00:31:42,442 --> 00:31:46,488 Look, just figure it out, all right? And you've just dodged prison.

344 00:31:46,655 --> 00:31:50,700 Sell your assets. Get rid of the BMW, take out a second mortgage--

345 00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:53,203 Second mortgage? I have a lien on my house.

346 00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:56,540 I don't have any assets. There are no assets left to sell.

347 00:31:56,706 --> 00:32:00,335 Ted, if you don't pay them, they will reopen the investigation...

348 00:32:00,544 --> 00:32:05,006 ...and that little fiction I just spun up there is gonna completely unravel.

349 00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:07,008 You have to settle.

350 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:13,056 Wish I could.

351 00:32:59,186 --> 00:33:00,479 Come in.

352 00:33:16,369 --> 00:33:18,455 I hope you brought an appetite.

353 00:33:20,957 --> 00:33:23,043 Yeah, I guess.

354 00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,424 Mike mentioned you have some questions.

355 00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:34,429 Yeah.

356 00:33:35,764 --> 00:33:39,309 We'll eat first, and then we'll talk.

357 00:33:45,941 --> 00:33:47,442 Right on.

358 00:33:59,996 --> 00:34:01,706 What am I doing here?

359 00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:15,053 I know you have concerns.

360 00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:19,849 What happened yesterday, to my man at the farm...

361 00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:21,977 ...it was a terrible thing.

362 00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:25,397 The dude getting his head blown off? Yeah.

363 00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:29,276 I've invited you into my home...

364 00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:34,656 ...prepared food so we could sit and talk.

365 00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:39,869 Discuss what's going on in this business...

366 00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:43,123 ...our business, like men.

367 00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:47,127 And I will explain everything that is happening.

368 00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:49,504 I will answer your questions.

369 00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:52,257 But first...

370 00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:56,845 ...I need you to answer one question for me.

371 00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:01,558 Can you cook Walter's formula?

372 00:35:03,685 --> 00:35:04,769 What?

373 00:35:05,812 --> 00:35:07,689 Walter's formula.

374 00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:12,193 Can you produce his product without any help? Alone.

375 00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:14,696 No.

376 00:35:18,033 --> 00:35:19,117 Why?

377 00:35:19,909 --> 00:35:23,079 You're asking me if I can cook Mr. White's crystal?

378 00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:25,832 Without him?

379 00:35:26,583 --> 00:35:27,667 Me?

380 00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:31,129 The junkie loser you were about to waste...

381 00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:33,632 ...and dump in the desert a month ago.

382 00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:35,800 This your plan?

383 00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:39,888 Invite me in your house, make whatever this is...

384 00:35:41,765 --> 00:35:43,767 ...be my buddy...

385 00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:47,187 ...and make me feel important.

386 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:54,653 Then get me to keep cooking for you after you kill Mr. White?

387 00:35:56,696 --> 00:35:59,324 You wanna-- You wanna talk like men?

388 00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:05,372 Let's talk like men. You kill Mr. White, you're gonna have to kill me too.

389 00:36:05,747 --> 00:36:08,249 That is not what I asked you.

390 00:36:09,209 --> 00:36:13,838 You are here because circumstances with the cartel are untenable.

391 00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:16,466 And I need your help.

392 00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,512 I need you to help prevent an all-out war.

393 00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:23,556 Now, if you would...

394 00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:27,018 ...answer the question.

395 00:37:28,121 --> 00:37:30,457 Hey, you headed out?

396 00:37:33,418 --> 00:37:34,836 Yeah.

397 00:38:19,672 --> 00:38:24,177 Yo, Mr. White, hey. I really gotta talk to you. I don't know if you're...

398 00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:28,097 ...with your family or whatever, but this is important...

399 00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:31,935 ...so I'm hoping you could come over.

400 00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:42,070 Thank God. Come on in.

401 00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:49,077 -You-- You want a beer or something? -No.

402 00:38:49,369 --> 00:38:53,206 -Should I sit down? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, go ahead.

403 00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:56,125 Okay, so....

404 00:38:56,709 --> 00:39:00,797 Okay, so word has come down that they--

405 00:39:00,964 --> 00:39:03,883 They want me to go to Mexico.

406 00:39:04,968 --> 00:39:08,137 There's some-- Some sort of war brewing...

407 00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:11,975 -...between Gus and the cartel. -"Word has come down"?

408 00:39:12,141 --> 00:39:15,854 The cartel has been-- Has been messing with Gus' operation.

409 00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,731 Like jacking trucks to, like, send a message.

410 00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:21,901 And yesterday, that dude we brought to the lab.

411 00:39:22,151 --> 00:39:26,656 I mean, they shot him right in front of me. Just blew his head open.

412 00:39:27,073 --> 00:39:30,451 Some sniper nailed him from like a mile away.

413 00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:34,914 Anyway, they've been holding them off.

414 00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:37,542 But between the cartel taking potshots...

415 00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:41,588 ...and your brother-in-law trying to throw a net over the whole deal...

416 00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:45,592 ...it's like what you call a rock-and-a-hard-place situation.

417 00:39:45,758 --> 00:39:49,387 So, Gus is-- Is gonna cave.

418 00:39:50,179 --> 00:39:54,100 So the cartel wants half of Gus' entire operation...

419 00:39:54,267 --> 00:39:57,854 ...and they want your formula. And he's gonna give it to them.

420 00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:03,109 Well, I-- I gotta give it to them. I mean, I'm supposed to go to Mexico...

421 00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:07,989 ...and teach a bunch of cartel chemists how to cook a batch of blue.

422 00:40:09,032 --> 00:40:11,242 You know, and Gus doesn't trust you...

423 00:40:11,451 --> 00:40:14,329 ...so I gotta go. I mean, you're the chemist, man...

424 00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:18,082 ...you know, not me. I mean, let's say I go down to--

425 00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:22,337 You know, go over there. Go to the jungle or whatever...

426 00:40:22,545 --> 00:40:25,006 ...and they got like actual chemists...

427 00:40:25,173 --> 00:40:28,259 ...like cartel chemists asking me chemistry stuff...

428 00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:31,512 ...that I don't know how to answer because I'm not you.

429 00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:36,017 And what if all the equipment is in Mexican instead of English?

430 00:40:36,684 --> 00:40:40,480 You know? I don't know. I don't know.

431 00:40:40,647 --> 00:40:43,107 I mean, if I mess this up...

432 00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:47,946 ...I'm dead, you know? All of us.

433 00:40:50,657 --> 00:40:54,619 Mr. White, look, I need-- I need your help.

434 00:40:54,786 --> 00:40:58,915 Okay, maybe you could-- Maybe you could coach me...

435 00:40:59,207 --> 00:41:03,920 ...or something, you know. Or give me some notes.

436 00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:06,172 Mr. White?

437 00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:09,092 So you saw Gus?

438 00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:11,970 What? No.

439 00:41:12,345 --> 00:41:15,223 -You didn't see Gus. -No.

440 00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,018 Then who told you all of that?

441 00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:22,355 It was passed down, like I said.

442 00:41:23,773 --> 00:41:26,234 "Passed down." By whom?

443 00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:29,028 By.... By Mike and them.

444 00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:33,574 -I mean, they did. They-- -So "they" doesn't include Gus.

445 00:41:33,950 --> 00:41:35,451 You haven't been with Gus.

446 00:41:35,618 --> 00:41:38,663 You haven't seen Gus. You haven't spoken to Gus.

447 00:41:38,871 --> 00:41:42,166 -Why are you--? -You weren't at Gus' house last night.

448 00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:43,501 What?

449 00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:48,506 What the hell? Jesus.

450 00:41:50,299 --> 00:41:51,801 Still here.

451 00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:55,972 -It's still here. -Jesus.

452 00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:03,396 You look me in the eye and you tell me...

453 00:42:03,563 --> 00:42:06,649 ...that you weren't at his house last night.

454 00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:08,693 I....

455 00:42:10,486 --> 00:42:13,573 Look, I didn't have a chance, all right?

456 00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:16,617 Okay? I knew you would react this way.

457 00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:19,996 I knew you would freak out and wouldn't believe me.

458 00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:22,623 That's why I didn't say anything.

459 00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:26,210 Look, there was just this one big pot of stew.

460 00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:29,297 He just made this one big pot and we both ate from it.

461 00:42:29,464 --> 00:42:32,008 What was I supposed to do, poison myself?

462 00:42:32,175 --> 00:42:36,429 Two hours, 18 minutes, you couldn't figure out a way to give it to him?

463 00:42:36,596 --> 00:42:39,557 -He never left the room. -You lying little shit!

464 00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:42,310 You had one thing to do, one thing.

465 00:42:42,518 --> 00:42:46,064 That is the only thing, I might add, that would save our lives...

466 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:49,233 ...and you were right there. You were in his house...

467 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,236 ...and you didn't have the guts to do it.

468 00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:58,618 Two hours and 18 minutes?

469 00:42:58,785 --> 00:43:01,996 You never had any intention of killing him, did you?

470 00:43:02,163 --> 00:43:05,291 How did you know I was at his house last night?

471 00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:07,126 Were you following me?

472 00:43:10,713 --> 00:43:14,050 This. This is how I knew.

473 00:43:17,929 --> 00:43:22,308 -You bugged my car? -7:10 to 9:28 p.m.

474 00:43:22,517 --> 00:43:26,479 Two hours and 18 minutes. But you had no intentions, did you?

475 00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:29,190 Not the slightest intention.

476 00:43:29,649 --> 00:43:32,276 Everything that I have done for you.

477 00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:35,029 You put a bug on my car?

478 00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:37,824 I'm sorry, after everything you've done for me?

479 00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:40,034 What you've done for me?

480 00:43:40,201 --> 00:43:42,453 You killed me, is what you've done!

481 00:43:42,703 --> 00:43:47,250 You've signed my death warrant! Now you want advice? I'll give you advice:

482 00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:50,002 Go to Mexico and screw up like I know you will.

483 00:43:50,169 --> 00:43:52,505 Wind up in a barrel somewhere!

484 00:44:18,197 --> 00:44:19,907 You son of a--

485 00:45:45,534 --> 00:45:47,245 Can you walk?

486 00:45:49,872 --> 00:45:51,249 Yeah.

487 00:45:51,958 --> 00:45:55,086 Then get the fuck out of here and never come back.
