I HAVE BEEN CALLED MANY NAMES. SCHIZOPHRENIC. INSANE. MAD. DELUSIONAL. DELULU. BUT THEY HAVE NEVER CALLED ME BY MY TRUE NAME. I AM WALTER HARTWELL WHITE. I LIVE AT 308 NEGRA ARROYO LANE, ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, 87104. THIS IS MY CONFESSION. IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS TAPE, I'M PROBABLY DEAD, MURDERED BY MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HANK SCHRADER. HANK HAS BEEN BUILDING A METH EMPIRE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND USING ME AS HIS CHEMIST. SHORTLY AFTER MY 50TH BIRTHDAY, HANK CAME TO ME WITH A RATHER, SHOCKING PROPOSITION. HE ASKED THAT I USE MY CHEMISTRY KNOWLEDGE TO COOK METHAMPHETAMINE, WHICH HE WOULD THEN SELL USING HIS CONNECTIONS IN THE DRUG WORLD. CONNECTIONS THAT HE MADE THROUGH HIS CAREER WITH THE DEA. I WAS... ASTOUNDED, I... I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HANK WAS A VERY MORAL MAN AND I WAS... THROWN, CONFUSED, BUT I WAS ALSO PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE AT THE TIME, SOMETHING HE KNEW AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF. I WAS REELING FROM A CANCER DIAGNOSIS THAT WAS POISED TO BANKRUPT MY FAMILY. HANK TOOK ME ON A RIDE ALONG, AND SHOWED ME JUST HOW MUCH MONEY EVEN A SMALL METH OPERATION COULD MAKE. AND I WAS WEAK. I DIDN'T WANT MY FAMILY TO GO INTO FINANCIAL RUIN SO I AGREED. EVERY DAY, I THINK BACK AT THAT MOMENT WITH REGRET. I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT I WAS IN WAY OVER MY HEAD, AND HANK HAD A PARTNER, A MAN NAMED GUSTAVO FRING, A BUSINESSMAN. HANK ESSENTIALLY SOLD ME INTO SERVITUDE TO THIS MAN, AND WHEN I TRIED TO QUIT, FRING THREATENED MY FAMILY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. EVENTUALLY, HANK AND FRING HAD A FALLING OUT. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, HANK WAS ALWAYS PUSHING FOR A GREATER SHARE OF THE BUSINESS, TO WHICH FRING FLATLY REFUSED TO GIVE HIM, AND THINGS ESCALATED. FRING WAS ABLE TO ARRANGE, UH I GUESS I GUESS YOU CALL IT A "HIT" ON MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND FAILED, BUT HANK WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, AND I WOUND UP PAYING HIS MEDICAL BILLS WHICH AMOUNTED TO A LITTLE OVER $177,000. 

HA PSYCH YOU THINK I WAS WALTER HARTWELL WHITE WHEN INSTEAD IT WAS ME, HEISENBERG! ZA WARUDO, KONO METHAMPHETAMINE DA!BITEZADUS
