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
|
|
Answers
|
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
|
|
Answers
|
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
|
|
Answers
|
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
|
it
|
failed,
|
but
|
Hank
|
was
|
seriously
|
injured.
|
And
|
I
|
wound
|
up
|
paying
|
his
|
medical
|
bills,
|
which
|
amounted
|
to
|
a
|
little
|
over
|
$177,000.
|
Upon
|
recovery,
|
Hank
|
was
|
bent
|
on
|
revenge.
|
Working
|
with
|
a
|
man
|
named
|
Hector
|
Salamanca,
|
he
|
plotted
|
to
|
kill
|
Fring,
|
and
|
did
|
so.
|
In
|
fact,
|
the
|
bomb
|
that
|
he
|
used
|
was
|
built
|
by
|
me,
|
|
Answers
|
and
|
he
|
gave
|
me
|
no
|
option
|
in
|
it.
|
I
|
have
|
often
|
contemplated
|
suicide,
|
but
|
I'm
|
a
|
coward.
|
I
|
wanted
|
to
|
go
|
to
|
the
|
police,
|
but
|
I
|
was
|
frightened.
|
Hank
|
had
|
risen
|
in
|
the
|
ranks
|
to
|
become
|
the
|
head
|
of
|
the
|
Albuquerque
|
DEA.
|
And
|
about
|
that
|
time,
|
to
|
keep
|
me
|
in
|
line,
|
he
|
took
|
my
|
children
|
from
|
me.
|
For
|
three
|
months,
|
he
|
kept
|
them.
|
My
|
wife,
|
who
|
up
|
until
|
that
|
point
|
had
|
no
|
idea
|
of
|
my
|
criminal
|
activities,
|
was
|
horrified
|
to
|
learn
|
what
|
I
|
had
|
done,
|
why
|
Hank
|
had
|
|
Answers
|
taken
|
our
|
children.
|
We
|
were
|
scared.
|
And
|
I
|
was
|
in
|
hell.
|
I
|
hated
|
myself
|
for
|
what
|
I
|
had
|
brought
|
upon
|
my
|
family.
|
Recently,
|
I
|
tried
|
once
|
again
|
to
|
to
|
end
|
this
|
nightmare,
|
and
|
in
|
response,
|
he
|
gave
|
me
|
this.
|
I
|
can't
|
take
|
this
|
anymore.
|
I
|
live
|
in
|
fear
|
every
|
day
|
that
|
Hank
|
will
|
kill
|
me,
|
or
|
worse,
|
hurt
|
my
|
family.
|
I...
|
All
|
I
|
could
|
think
|
to
|
do
|
was
|
to
|
make
|
this
|
video
|
and
|
hope
|
that
|
the
|
world
|
will
|
finally
|
see
|
this
|
man
|
for
|
what
|
he
|
really
|
is.
|
|
BTW, when it says "Head often Albuquerque DEA" it should say "head of the Albuquerque DEA"
