My name is 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.
