          INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE

          WALTER sits across from his DOCTOR.

          DOCTOR: I'm afraid it's cancer, Walter.

          WALTER: ...

          DOCTOR: I'm so sorry. Here's my bill!

          CLOSE UP on the Bill. It's similar to an RPG item shop. The
          total for Walter's treatment is $80,000.

          A small MONEY COUNTER in the corner depletes as it pays off
          part of the bill. It runs out with a BUZZING NOISE.

          TEXT BOX: You don't have enough money...

          TEXT BOX: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? ASK FOR HELP/ACCEPT
          FATE/COOK METH.

          INT. RV

          CLOSE UP on JESSE addressing the PLAYER. He's in front of
          meth, bags of money. Jesse smiles and raises a finger.

          JESSE: You want to Break Bad, huh? That's mighty surprising!

          Beat.

          JESSE: ...Bitch.

          JESSE: Cooking meth can be dangerous. Let me explain...

          The cursor SKIPS through Jesse's warnings ultra-fast.

          JESSE: Wonderful! Now let's make some money!

          Beat.

          JESSE: ...Bitch.

          EXT. ALBUQUERQUE SLUMS

          Walter walks through the street, followed by Jesse. He
          approaches people on the street and hands them a bag of
          meth, after which his MONEY goes up with a happy "ching!"

          TUCO and group of THUGS approach:

          TUCO: Hey man! Nobody sells in the ABQ but me!

          BATTLE MUSIC STARTS.

          Walter opens his INVENTORY: EQUIP ITEM > HAT

          Walter puts the hat on. It's kind of anti-climactic.

          TEXT BOX: YOU'VE UNLOCKED HEISENBERG!

          TUCO: Look out! He's wearing a hat now!

          Tuco and his thugs run away. TRIUMPHANT MUSIC.

          HANK and his DEA agents are walking around. A TURTLE WITH A
          HEAD ON IT enters.

          HANK: A turtle with a head on it? What do you think this is,
          Gomie?

          GOMEZ: Don't ask me, I'm a tertiary character!

          From the MENU, Hank opens his FIELD GUIDE and we zoom in.
          It's a book listing different wildlife with little images of
          each next to them: BADGER, PROBLEM DOG (with a picture of
          Gale), TURTLE WITH A HEAD ON IT. The cursor selects TURTLE
          WITH A HEAD ON IT.

          FIELD GUIDE: THIS IS NOT A REAL ANIMAL. IT'S PROBABLY A DRUG
          CARTEL BOMB. RUN.

          HANK: This is gonna mess me up.

          Hank runs away as the turtle EXPLODES.

          SKYLER: Also, you killed your friend's girlfriend and caused
          two planes to collide.
