To provide for his family's future after he is diagnosed with lung
cancer, a chemistry genius turned high school teacher teams up with an
ex-student to cook and sell the world's purest crystal meth.
Plot:
Walter "Walt" White (Bryan Cranston) leads a mundane, timid life as a high school chemistry teacher. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn), and his son, Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte), who has cerebral palsy. Walter's life is further complicated when, on the day after his 50th birthday, he is diagnosed with stage-three terminal lung cancer.
Walter decides to enter the illegal drug trade to develop a sufficient
inheritance for his family before he succumbs to his cancer. He uses his
chemistry knowledge to cook remarkably potent methamphetamine, enlisting one of his former students, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).
The two attempt to sell their product to a drug distributor,
"Krazy-8", who believes that Walter is an undercover cop and attempts to
kill him. Walter manages to defend himself, killing Krazy-8 and his
accomplice. Walter, deeply disturbed by the ordeal, breaks his ties with
Jesse. Upon returning home, Walter and his family discuss long-term
plans towards dealing with his cancer. While Walter originally wishes to
slowly succumb to his cancer rather than suffering the side-effects of chemotherapy, his family eventually convince him to undergo treatment.
Walter is offered financial assistance from his brother-in-law, Hank (Dean Norris), who is a DEA
agent, and from his wealthy former business partner Elliott, but turns
down both offers. Instead, Walter decides to return to producing meth,
and tells his family that the money he earns is actually from Elliott.
Walter then convinces Jesse that they should start selling their product
to Tuco (Raymond Cruz), a powerful but psychopathic drug distributor. The two begin to expand their operations by stealing a large drum of methylamine,
thereby allowing them to produce large quantities of meth for Tuco.
Walter begins to come to terms with his secret lifestyle, and creates
the pseudonym "Heisenberg" to conceal his identity.

To provide for his family's future after he is diagnosed with lung
cancer, a chemistry genius turned high school teacher teams up with an
ex-student to cook and sell the world's purest crystal meth.
Plot:
Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) are kidnapped by Tuco after the DEA raids Tuco's Albuquerque operation. Tuco brings them to the dilapidated home of his uncle, Hector, with the intent of moving them to Mexico. After an unsuccessful attempt to poison Tuco, the two manage to incapacitate him and escape. Hank (Dean Norris),
in his search for Walt, comes across a wounded Tuco and kills him in a
shootout. Walt manages to return home, claiming to have been in a fugue state, but this excuse has numerous holes and creates distrust with Skyler (Anna Gunn). The DEA seizes Jesse's "drug" money, straining his partnership with Walter after he demands half of Walt's meth profit to sustain himself.
Jesse rents a new place and becomes romantically involved with his landlord's daughter, Jane (Krysten Ritter), a recovering heroin
addict. With Tuco dead, Walt and Jesse decide to move their business
into new territory, but more problems arise as their enterprise expands
with dealers working for them. One of them, Skinny Pete, is mugged, and
Walt forces Jesse to confront the perpetrators, a man and his wife. The
man is killed by his wife, but Jesse receives the credit, earning him
fear and respect and further solidifying "Heisenberg's" reputation in
the area. Another dealer, Badger, is arrested by the APD, forcing Walt to deal with Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), a crooked lawyer who offers a solution to keep Badger from snitching
while also keeping him out of prison. Walt and Jesse attempt to
intimidate Saul, but Saul makes a deal with Walt for a cut of the profit
in return for being Walt and Jesse's legal advisor in their drug
operation.
Considered a hero for killing Tuco, Hank is promoted and sent to El Paso. In private, he suffers panic attacks due to the unexpected shootout with Tuco. The El Paso job further unsettles Hank after he witnesses the death of a Federale and the wounding of fellow DEA officers by an IED attack. Hank is immediately sent back to Albuquerque by his superiors. Gretchen (Jessica Hecht), Walt's former lover and Elliot's wife (Adam Godley),
discovers Walt has been lying to his family about receiving money from
them. She is taken aback when a bitter Walt blames her and Elliott for
profiting from his research, although she doesn't disclose Walt's
secrets for his family's sake. Skyler goes back to work for Ted Beneke (Christopher Cousins), a former boss who once drunkenly groped her and caused her to quit her bookkeeper job as a result. She increasingly relies on Ted for emotional support due to Walt's frequent absences and unexplained behavior.
Walt becomes worried when he sees a bright white patch within the generally dark hues on the latest PET/CT scan
of his lungs. With only $16,000 remaining of the meth money after the
numerous setbacks, he and Jesse spend several days in the desert cooking
38 pounds of meth to sell off before Walt dies. Later, at the doctor's
office, Walt discovers his cancer has not spread and his tumor has
actually shrunk by 80%; the bright area on his scan was only
inflammation. Walt plans to end the meth operation after the 38 pounds
are sold, but soon finds normality boring.
When one of Walt and Jesse's dealers, Combo, is killed by rivals,
Jesse is sent spiraling into a drug addiction which also drags Jane out
of her sobriety. With their remaining dealers backing out, Walt and
Jesse turn to Saul for help. Saul uses his connections to arrange a
meeting at a fast food restaurant with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito),
a discreet, cautious, yet successful drug distributor. Gus owns and
manages a number of fast food restaurants and has purposely scheduled
the meeting at one of them in order to observe Walt and Jesse. Gus
reluctantly offers to buy Walt's product for $1.2 million and offers him
only one hour to deliver the drugs. Walt frantically attempts to
contact Jesse to complete the exchange, but Jesse and Jane are
incapacitated after injecting heroin.
Walt breaks into Jesse's house and collects the stash, choosing to
complete the deal rather than be with Skyler as she goes into labor.
Walt loses trust in Jesse and promises to give him his share of the
payout only if he agrees to get sober. Upon learning of the money and
Jesse's relationship with Walt, Jane blackmails
Walt into giving Jesse his share of the money. Walt reluctantly
complies and the two agree to go their separate ways, but Walt returns
to Jesse, only to discover that he and Jane have taken heroin again.
During an attempt to awaken Jesse, Walt accidentally moves Jane out of
the recovery position
and onto her back, and witnesses her choking on her own vomit. Walt
lets Jane suffocate and leaves. When Jesse wakes up, he tries to revive
Jane without success. Unaware of Walt's visit, Jesse believes he is
responsible for her death and spirals into a depression.
Walt attempts to help Jesse by taking him to rehab. Meanwhile, Gus
discovers that Hank is Walt's brother-in-law and that Walt has cancer.
As Walt undergoes anesthesia
for surgery, he accidentally confirms to Skyler the existence of his
secret second cell phone. This prompts her to leave him several weeks
later, after she systematically investigates and uncovers his lies. Walt
offers to explain everything to Skyler, but she responds that she is
too afraid to know the truth. After Skyler leaves, Walt sees an
explosion in the skies above his home. Jane's father Donald (John de Lancie), an air traffic controller,
overcome with grief at the loss of his daughter, has accidentally
directed two airplanes into each other in the sky above Albuquerque. In
an image foreshadowed throughout the season, a charred pink teddy bear
lands in the Whites' pool and floats there until it is collected as
evidence by NTSB agents.
