It consisted of 13 episodes, each running approximately 47 minutes in length. AMC broadcast the second season on Sundays at 10:00 pm in the United States. The complete second season was released on Region 1 DVD and Region A Blu-ray on March 16, 2010. ==Plot== Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) are kidnapped by Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz) and his uncle Hector (Mark Margolis), lead figures in the rival Mexican drug cartel. They manage to escape before the DEA, led by Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), arrive and kill Tuco and capture Hector. Walter and Jesse expand their meth dealing into the areas formerly controlled by Tuco, and later are forced to partner with sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) to help protect them legally from the DEA. Skyler (Anna Gunn) becomes more suspicious of Walter's current activities particularly after learning that he refused money for his medical payment from his former partner Elliot (Adam Godley) and wife Gretchen (Jessica Hecht). Jesse moves into a duplex owned by Donald (John de Lancie), with Donald's daughter Jane (Krysten Ritter), a recovering heroin addict, living in the neighboring unit. Jane and Jesse become romantically involved. Hank's actions in the Tuco shootout lead to a promotion at the El Paso office, but he suffers from a panic attack after witnessing the death of a Federale during a IED attack by the Mexican cartel, and returns to Albuquerque. Walter learns his cancer may be spreading, and decides to cook up one last batch of meth over a weekend with Jesse, anticipating to leave the profits for his family after he dies, only learning afterwards that his health condition is improving. However, he is still compelled to leave the meth cooking business after finishing the current batch. When one of Jesse's friends and dealers is killed by a rival gang, Jesse falls back to taking drugs, dragging Jane down with him. Meanwhile, Walter worries about further trouble with the rival gang and has Saul arrange a meeting with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), the owner of a restaurant chain used as a cover for a large-scale drug distribution. Gus offers to buy the remaining meth batch for more than $1 million, but requires the product to be delivered immediately. Walter forgoes his daughter's birth to retrieve the meth from Jesse's place. Donald arrives to find Jesse's place a mess and Jane's relapse, and orders her to put her affairs in order before he takes her back to rehab. Jane, aware of Jesse's role, demands Walter give Jesse his share of the drug money, but he refuses. She thus threatens to expose him, which gives him reason to reconsider, and he returns to Jesse's that evening to hand over his share. Later, Walter shares a drink with Donald, unaware of his relationship with Jane. Donald's talk gives him reason to reconsider, and returns to Jesse's the next day to have a talk with Jesse, but again finds Jesse and Jane passed out from drug use. In an attempt to wake them, he turns Jane onto her back, causing her to suffocate on her own vomit. Believing Jane will have a bad influence on Jesse (and that Jane may still expose Walter's identity), Walter leaves without trying to help, and Jane dies. Jesse believes himself to be at fault, and enters rehab. Walter prepares to undergo surgery to remove the cancer, but while sedated, reveals the existence of a second cell phone to Skyler. When Skyler, who has exposed the other lies he has told her, confronts him on this after he recovers, he offers to tell her the truth, but she refuses to listen and leaves with the children. As Walter contemplates his situation by the pool, he witnesses two aircraft collide over Albuquerque, a result of mis-guidance given by Donald, shown now to work as an air-traffic controller and still grieving at the loss of his daughter. The wreckage falls across the city, including a pink teddy bear that falls into Walter's pool - an image used throughout episodes of this season. 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「Breaking Bad (season 2)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
