"A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal" is the seventh episode and season finale of the first season of the American television drama series ''Breaking Bad''. Written by Peter Gould and directed by Tim Hunter, it aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on March 9, 2008. == Plot == At a PTA meeting, while parents express anger about the recent meth arrest, Walt fondles Skyler beneath the conference room table, gradually arousing her. In the parking lot, the two of them have explosive sex in the back of Walt's car – Walt is beginning to get off on the danger of his situation. Jesse, who is out of the hospital and is now living in the RV, puts his house on the market because he is too traumatized by the deaths of Krazy-8 and Emilio to continue living there. Walt tells him about the deal with Tuco, but Jesse says producing two pounds of meth a week is impossible. His "smurfs" – people who supply him the pseudoephedrine needed to cook the meth – can only supply so much a week. The smurfs acquire the pseudoephedrine through cold medicine like Sudafed, but they only buy two boxes from different drugstores in a scattered area to avoid legal restrictions on Sudafed sales. It also takes Jesse several hours to drive to his smurfs to pick up the Sudafed cache. Walt and Jesse meet Tuco and his men at a junkyard, where they hand him approximately half a pound of meth. Tuco is furious that Walt's end of the bargain was not kept and pays him only $17,500 (but takes away $500 for his wasted time). He gives Walt another chance next week, but Walt says he still wants the $70,000 Tuco promised upfront, despite not having the goods. Tuco agrees to $52,000 (with 25 points vig), which adds up to $65,625. Tuco threatens dire consequences if next week's quota is not met. Walt, to make up for it, promises to have four pounds of meth at the next meeting. At Skyler's baby shower, Marie presents her with an expensive baby's tiara covered in white gold. This seems to irritate Hank. In the yard, Walter and Hank have a philosophical conversation about the dividing line between legal and illegal behavior. That night, Walter tells Skyler that he is planning to spend a weekend at a holistic medicine clinic after she expressed desire for alternative therapy. In reality, Walter is cooking meth with Jesse. Skyler goes to return the tiara and is detained in the store – it turns out that Marie stole it, but Skyler matches her description. She pretends to be going into labor and they let her go. Skyler later confronts Marie about the theft but Marie calmly denies it. Walt has a plan to manufacture the meth using different precursors, and gives Jesse a list of chemicals and supplies to acquire with the cash fronted by Tuco. Jesse gets almost everything Walt requested except methylamine, which is kept tightly controlled. Jesse knows of a chemical warehouse where there are men willing to steal and sell the methylamine for $10,000. Walt decides they will steal the methylamine themselves by using the aluminum powder in Etch-a-Sketches to make thermite. At night, Walt and Jesse trespass into the warehouse, subdue a security guard by locking him in a portable toilet, and place the thermite on a locked door, which eats away the metal when lit. The two steal an entire drum of methylamine and escape. The next day, Walt and Jesse attempt to start the RV when mechanical troubles prevent it from going anywhere. Faced with a deadline, they set up to cook in Jesse's basement, unaware that his realtor has planned an open house viewing for that same afternoon. Jesse guards the door to the basement while Walt synthesizes the chemicals, and once a man asks to see the basement of the home, Jesse demands everyone to leave. When Walt arrives back home, he learns of Marie's stealing and wonders if Skyler would ever turn him in for a crime. At the next meeting with Tuco, Walt supplies 4.6 pounds of meth, and although it has a blue hue, it is still the same quality and Tuco is very pleased. He hands over $91,000 since they were already two pounds in debt. When one of Tuco's men makes an offhanded remark to Walt, Tuco becomes furious and beats the man with his fists until he is unconscious. As Tuco drives away, Walt and Jesse look at each other in shock. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
