Sure.

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking... damn,

how wasted was I last night?

I don't even remember recording this...

or you're thinking this

must be some kind of joke.

But here's the thing...

We don't have time for any of that.

You... do not have time.

Now relax. Ok?

Calm down. Everything is gonna be fine.

I just need to show you...

...something.

Now that I have your attention...

You need to listen very carefully

to what I'm about to tell you.

Think back on it now...

It's easy to see where

all this was heading.

It's easy to see all the warning signs.

But uh...

You have to understand that at the time...

...you couldn't see any of it.

Cause at the time all we could see...

...what we wanted to see...

...was her.

Milton?

Milton, was it?

So they tell me you're

really smart, Milton.

Some sort of college boy.

Chemical engineering

degree? Something like that?

Something like that.

Word around the campfire is

your meth lab on campus got

busted right before you graduated.

What do you want?

Just the answer to a simple question.

You see on the one hand

you're bright enough to

almost have a college

degree in chemistry...

But on the other hand you're dumb

enough to have landed yourself in here.

So I guess the real question is this:

Exactly how smart are you Milton?

Smart enough to do this.

I first started using meth...

...when I was 14.

It was...

It was my uncle.

This uncle...

He was physically abusing me...

Raping me since I was 10 years old.

The crank.

Just made it easier to face

what I had waiting for me

in the mirror everyday, you know?

I just... didn't feel like I

deserved any... real happiness.

And then the meth...

Messed me up.

The more I used the more messed up I got.

Well I'm sure there are many

deep psychological reasons

as to why I started using crystal...

But at the end of the day it

really all came down to this...

I noticed that while I was

on the drug I was more alert,

more productive, felt better,

stayed thinner and could f*** like my

ass was on fire for 36 hours straight.

I mean...

I don't know what this sh*t

is the rest of you guys were on

but it sounds like it really sucked.

Um... excuse me... hello.

I don't know if you noticed

but this is a drug rehabilitation center.

Yeah, the entire reason we're here

is because we want to stop using.

No, the entire reason you're

here is because what you want...

what you all really want...

is some crystal meth.

And the reason I'm here...

Is because I need to find

someone who can cook it.

Seriously!

What the f*** is this?

This is pseudoephedrine.

Common cold medication.

But in the right hands...

In the hand of someone who

knows what they're doing...

Skyler, honey...

to be part of this circle you need just

to agree to be completely open and honest.

How much more honest could I possibly be?

I'm telling you all... I'm

announcing it to the circle...

I need to find someone who

can cook high grade crank

and I need to find them fast.

B*tch, what is your problem anyway?!

I just told you my problem, Claire.

You want someone to cook meth for you...

That's your problem?

No, Claire, that's my solution.

Yeah... well... you can take you...

and your problem... and your solution...

and you can go f*** yourself.

I mean why would any of us wanna help you?

Well there's an ass load of money in it.

And besides, it would have to be

a hell of a lot more interesting

than listening to you whine

about how much you miss

getting butt f***ed by

your uncle every night.

You f***ing little...

How can you people just f***ing

sit here and f***ing listen to her?!

F***!

F*** you!

Listen Skyler... um...

I used to do a little bit of

cooking, you know... back in the day.

You know, my uncle's got a job

lined up for me when I get out...

Oh yeah?

Yeah...

On the loading docks at his warehouse.

Stacking furniture, sh*t like that.

Sounds good.

Well you know, it's a

straight job, steady paycheck.

So yeah...

That should be pretty good.

Hey there, Milton, we could use your help.

We?

Hey, Milt, you got a sec?

So uh...

Let me get this straight. You

actually tried to snort this?

I used the basic ammonia reduction,

I've done it a million times...

Yeah, well not in the last

five years you haven't,

they added time release compound now.

You could try running it through

cold filtering and then pass...

Uh, you can get the f*** out now.

So what about you, college boy,

can you do something with this?

With this? In here?

Well, it would take some kind of genius.

Show me.

And so we showed her, didn't we?

You just had to.

Had to show her we weren't

just another loser in rehab.

Had to prove to her that

we were something special.

The answer to all her prayers.

For what it's worth, she uh...

must have believed it.

Or at least part of it.

Or you'd be dead already.

Glass quality crystal from

over the counter cold meds.

Wow, Milton I'm impressed.

Well don't be too impressed with

me yet... this is the real test.

No, this is the real test.

So you get out of here

in what... four months?

Four months, six days.

Then what?

Go back to college?

Finish that degree?

No school will touch me

now. Not with my record.

But you already know that, right?

It was the start of your pitch.

My pitch...

Yeah, your sales pitch.

Well, it goes something like this.

First you remind me that I've got

nothing waiting for me when I get out.

Just, you know... a future of

flipping burgers, pumping gas.

Well, that's probably true.

Right, and then you point out

that I'm too smart for that...

That is would be a shame to

let my talents go to waste.

I sound pretty convincing so

far... what do I say after that?

Well next you insist that I come

and cook crank for you instead.

That's right, you should.

Sure, but here's what

you're not gonna tell me.

When this lab of yours gets

raided, I go to jail... real jail.

And your lab will get raided

it's only a matter of time.

Exactly... a matter of time.

That's why the amount of time

we're talking about here is one day.

One day?

One day and one day only.

That's it.

You're set for life.

Set for life... well uh how

much could I cook in one day?

You tell me... Say you're starting

with a base of 50 kilograms of pure

pharmaceutical grade

pseudoephedrine powder.

That's 100 pounds.

That's 110 pounds.

No one, and I mean no one, can get

their hands on that much pseudoephedrine.

Russell can.

Russell... well who's Russell?

Before we go any further I need

to make sure you understand this.

Russell is dangerous.

A pure 100% psychopath.

Well your psychopath must have

made a deal with the devil...

to get his hands on that much pseudo.

Russell didn't make a deal

with the devil, he is the devil.

He's also my boyfriend.

I see.

So uh... that's the catch.

Nope.

Catch is... this day we're talking about...

It's tomorrow.

Wait.

Like tomorrow tomorrow? As

in the day after today...
