__ **Summary of Season One** __
**In episode one (Pilot)..** of Breaking Bad, we as viewers find out that the main character, Walter White, has terminal lung cancer. Walter is a high school chemistry teacher and has a wife, a 16 year old son and a baby on the way, so this is extreme news for him because he doesn't know how he will afford for his treatment without taking money from the family. When he goes with his brother in law Hank, a DEA agent, to bust a drug scene, he runs into a former high school student of his, Jesse Pinkman. Jesse is a meth dealer, and Walter has what it takes to cook good crystal meth because of his career, so he decides to team up with Jesse to make some money for his treatment. Jesse and Walt invest in an RV to use as their lab, and they drive it out into the dessert so they will never be found. When Jesse goes to distribute the lab to two meth dealers he works with, they trap him in their car and make him show them their lab. One of these dealers is Krazy-8 and he has a very big and threatening reputation in the drug trade, so Walter and Jesse know he has intentions to kill them. When they convince Walter to show them his recipe, he poisons them, knocking them out for days.

**In episode two (The cat's out of the bag) ..** Walter and Jesse must deal with the two bodies they have knocked out in the RV. The two are very scared because Krazy-8 wakes up and they know about his scary reputation, if they let the two dealers live they will eventually kill Walter and Jesse, but they are both afraid to kill anybody and do not know how to do it without getting caught. Jesse and Walter flip a coin to decide who will deal with which dealer, and they start planning how they will get rid of them. While Walter is off dealing with all these problems, his wife, Skyler, grows extremely suspicious because Walter comes home very late in the evening, if at all, without explanation. **In episode three (And the bag's in the river)..**Walter is undecided about what to do with Krazy-8, because it is decided that he is dealing with him and Jesse is dealing with his already dead cousin. They put the cousin in the bathtub with an acid that makes his body disintegrate, but because Jesse did not use a proper bin to hold him, the bathtub and his melted body leak through two floors of the house and right into the basement. When Walter makes one of his trips downstairs to bring Krazy-8 his sandwhich, he starts coughing and collapses down the steps. When he wakes up, he has a long talk with Krazy-8, tells him about his lung cancer and learns alot about Krazy-8, deciding that he is not that bad of a person. Eventually, he decides to release the crazed drug dealer, believing he is better then people percieve him as, but on his way up to get the keys to unlock the chain, he realizes that a piece of the broken plate is missing. As Walter tries to unlock Krazy-8's lock, he tries to stab Walter, so Walter reacts quickly and chokes Krazy-8 to death, finally dealing with his and Jesse's biggest problem. **In episode four (Cancer Man)..** Hank, Walters DEA brother in lawn, is on a hunt for the new drug kings in town, unaware that it is Walter because he uses a fake name, "Heisenburg" in the drug field.
