Hey there, I'm Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Look, I gotta get something off my chest. If you're watching this tape, chances are I'm no longer around because my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader, probably did me in. It's a crazy story, but hear me out.
So, Hank's been running this whole meth operation for over a year now, and he roped me into being his chemist. Can you believe it? I couldn't either. I always thought Hank was this stand-up guy, but boy, was I wrong. See, I was in a tough spot at the time. Just got diagnosed with cancer and it was looking like my family would go broke trying to pay for treatment. That's when Hank showed me just how much money you can make from cooking meth. I was desperate, so I agreed to help him out.
Turns out, Hank had this business partner named Gustavo Fring, a real shady character. Hank basically sold me to this guy. And when I tried to back out, Fring threatened my family. I felt trapped, didn't know what to do. Eventually, things went south between Hank and Fring. They had this big falling out, and Hank ended up getting hurt pretty bad. Guess who had to foot the bill for his medical expenses? Me, of course. Over $177,000 down the drain.
Now, Hank was out for revenge. Teaming up with some dude named Hector Salamanca, they plotted to take down Fring. And get this, Hank made me build the bomb they planned to use. I had no choice in the matter. It was terrifying.
I've thought about ending it all, but I'm too scared. I wanted to go to the police, but I was paralyzed with fear. Hank had become this big shot at the DEA, and he had my kids as leverage. He took them from me for three whole months. My wife had no clue about any of this, and when she found out, she was devastated. It was a living nightmare, man. I hated myself for bringing this chaos upon my family.
Just recently, I tried to quit again, and you know what Hank did? He gave me a beating. Look at this bruise on my face, a souvenir from that psycho. I can't take it anymore. Every day, I live in fear that Hank will either kill me or do something awful to my family. I felt like I had no other choice but to make this video, hoping that the world would finally see Hank for the monster he truly is.
