A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal

A few days later, Walt and Jesse meet Tuco and his henchmen, Gonzo and No-Doze, at a junkyard, where they hand him only half a pound of meth.

That night, Walt and Jesse break into the warehouse and use a bag of thermite to melt the lock on a highly-secured door, allowing them to steal a drum of methylamine and escape.

After he and Jesse finish cooking, Walt arrives back home, learns of Marie's theft and asks Skyler what she would do if she found out he had commited a crime, to which she responds with "you don't want to find out".

The episode was written by Peter Gould and directed by Tim Hunter; it aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on March 9, 2008.

Series creator Vince Gilligan originally intended to have Jesse be murdered at the end of this episode in a botched drug deal.
