Episodes Portable — Breaking Bad Season 1 All

We learn about Walt’s past. Years ago, he co-founded a multi-billion-dollar tech company called Gray Matter Technologies with his friend Elliott Schwartz and former lover Gretchen. Walt sold his shares early for a pittance, watching them get rich on his genius.

Walt begins chemotherapy, experiencing severe side effects including hair loss. Needing to move larger quantities of meth to fund his treatments, Walt instructs Jesse to find a high-level distributor to replace Krazy-8. Jesse connects with Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz), a psychotic, unpredictable cartel enforcer. When Tuco steals their meth and beats Jesse half to death, Walt decides to take matters into his own hands. Shaving his head completely, Walt adopts the criminal alias "Heisenberg." He confronts Tuco in his headquarters. Instead of meth, Walt brings a chemically altered explosive material—fulminated mercury—and blows out the windows of the building. Impressed and intimidated by Walt's ruthlessness, Tuco agrees to a lucrative distribution deal.
