Breaking Bad

We interrupt our scheduled programming

to bring you breaking news.

Good afternoon.

In the last several minutes,

KOB has received dozens of reports

of what appears to be a crashed aircraft--

possibly two aircraft--

on Albuquerque's east side.

As of yet, details are scarce,

but callers describe witnessing an explosion overhead,

followed by falling debris. Visible now toward...

...crash investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board

are expected on-site as early as this evening.

But officials warn that,

with a debris field of this magnitude,

the investigation and the clean-up may well stretch--

...are now saying that the Boeing 737

was being re-routed or vectored

through the airspace,

which is standard procedure,

according to a spokesman for the FAA.

The eight-seat King Air 350

was a charter flight

operating out of Saint George, Utah,

bound for Amarillo, Texas.

It sounded like hail.

Like heavy hailstones.

It was just, um...

bump-bump-bump all over the neighborhood.

...indicating that the final death toll now stands at 167.

..67 muertos--

...167.

This mid-air collision has left many wondering

how such an accident could take place

in a system with so many safeguards.

Allegations continue that the collision

which brought down Flight 5

was caused by improper air traffic control.

The bombshell confirmation out of Oklahoma City today,

as the FAA confirmed, it was, indeed,

a lone air traffic controller's fateful mistake...

...que el nombre del hombre es Donald Margolis.

...is Donald Margolis,

a 19-year veteran of the FAA's

Air Route Traffic Control Center in Albuquerque.

...Margolis recently returned to work

after a five-week absence,

which was due to, quote, a personal loss.

While it's now known

that Margolis had recently lost a daughter...

...to a drug overdose a month before.

His troubled daughter Jane Margolis, aged 26,

apparently had a long history of substance abuse.

And friends of the family say the death of his only child

hit Margolis particularly hard.

Coming as it did little more than a month before,

many are questioning the timing

of his return to work,

and are wondering how much blame truly lies

with those who let this grieving father--

No. No, no.

I usually open

with "So sorry you're here."

Where would you like to begin?

I really just need this quick and easy, you know?

As quick as something like this can be.

Okay.

Is that mutual?

Does your husband go along with that?

Does he know?

Well, I mean,

he certainly knows we're separated, so--

Has he moved out?

We're in the process of moving him out.

Yeah. Today, hopefully.

And in the meantime, my--

my son and my daughter

and I are staying with my sister.

So you've moved out?

Well, yes, just temporarily,

only so he could get his things.

That was supposed to happen last week,

but then came the crash, and--

Oh, God.

You weren't one of the-- Right--

Yeah. Right beneath the flight path.

And, um...

uh, we had debris land in our yard

and all of our neighborhood, so-- Mmm. Terrible.

Yeah. Apparently, even, um...

you know, parts of bodies,

and so I certainly couldn't bring myself to--

So awful. I know.

Anyway, I was certainly not ready to move back, but it's time.

And, um,...

I'm sure we're driving my sister and her husband up a wall.

Well, you definitely want to maintain residency

in your actual home.

It just puts you in a better position

in regards to custody.

Two children, you said?

Yes. Holly here,

and then I have a son in high school--

Walter Junior.

They need to stay with me.

Okay.

How long have you been married?

Sixteen years.

And it's not an apartment. It's a house that you live in?

Mm-hmm. Do you own outright?

Do you have a mortgage? Yes.

There's definitely a mortgage. We have, um...

maybe 15 years on it.

What about other debts or assets?

Do you feel you have a good understanding

of you and your husband's financial situation?

Is your husband employed? You know what? Here's the thing.

I-- I'm really not looking

for any, sort of, uh, loopholes or-- um--

I don't know-- just-- No.

No loopholes.

I just intend

that every one of my clients

get a full and honest accounting

of what it is they owe

and what it is they own.

To that end, I say

let's leave no stone unturned.

You'd be amazed what I've seen partners hide from one another.

Hey, Walt?

Hey. Hey, buddy, there you are.

Listen, I, uh-- You know, well--

It's, uh...time.

The s---tiest week since 9/11, okay? Bar none.

Yeah, this is it. Hands down, we're living it.

I mean, I speak with some authority

because we definitely had some s---ty weeks

in the past few months, you know?

But this here, I mean, call, you know--

call freakin' the Guinness Book of World Records--

Call freakin'- Am I talking too much?

Am I? I am, right? I am. I know. Look, look.

But this situation between you and, uh-- uh--

I'm not asking, by the way.

Okay? It's none of my business.

I do not want to get in the middle of you two.

I'm just saying-- Listen, listen-- Okay?

You beat a little tactical retreat.

Yeah?

And regroup.

And then-- bong.

You know, absence makes the--

I'm pulling for you, you know? I'm pulling--

Whoa, whoa. No heavy lifting.

I got it. No, it's okay.

I got it.

J----.

What do you got in there, cinder blocks?

Half a million in cash.

That's the spirit.

I got it. I got it.

Whoo.

Who's here for self-improvement?

Come on, give me a show of hands.

Who among you is here hoping

they can actively improve who they are?

Right.

See, that's your first mistake.

You should be here to learn self-acceptance.

Hey, honey, you, uh--

you want another waffle?

I still got the iron out.

I could cut up some bananas.

Hi, you're reached Walt, Skyler, Flynn, and Holly.

Please leave us a message.

Uh, hey. Hello, everybody.

Good morning. I was just checking in

and thought I'd pass along

the current contact information.

I mean, certainly, you can always reach me on my cell.

I've always got that on me.

But in terms of a mailing address,

I'm here at The Beachcomber.

And you know what? It's actually very nice.

It's very pleasant.

Not as high end as the Oakwood,

but, you know, not as corporate--

Oh, hey, would you please just-

Hey, Dad. It's me.

No, I'm not okay.

I don't know what the h- - is going on.

Nobody's telling me jack s- - around here.

Hey, Flynn. What-- Whatever.

I-- I don't even care anymore.

Can-- Can you just give me a ride to school?

I'll take you to school.

Yeah. No.

I-- I'm ready now.

Flynn, I'm taking you to school.

All right. I'm here.
