"Hazard Pay" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American television drama series ''Breaking Bad'', and the 49th overall episode of the series. Written by Peter Gould and directed by Adam Bernstein, it originally aired on AMC in the United States on July 29, 2012. ==Plot== Mike (Jonathan Banks) and his attorney Dan (Chris Freihofer) spend an entire day visiting his former subordinates in jail. Although the RICO Act has taken all of their money, Mike instructs them not to divulge anything to the DEA, explaining that they will still get their "hazard pay" due to his new partnership with Walt (Bryan Cranston). Meanwhile, Walt has moved himself back into the house, to Skyler's (Anna Gunn) silent horror. Mike meets with Walt, Jesse (Aaron Paul), and Saul (Bob Odenkirk), where he declares that he will handle the business end of their operation while Walt and Jesse remain cooks. Walt agrees, but still asserts himself as the leader. Saul shows them numerous potential locations for a meth lab, but none are good enough for the trio. While visiting a pest control company, Walt notices a folded fumigation tent. He decides they will establish a mobile lab, never cooking in the same place twice. He explains that no one looks twice at a tented house, and even if the strange smell of a meth cook is emitted, no one would investigate or enter the tent. Saul contacts the pest control team of Vamonos Pest that moonlight as burglars, who allow Walt and Jesse entrance into the houses they are working on. Junkyard owner Old Joe (Larry Hankin) supplies much of the equipment while Badger (Matt L. Jones) and Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) purchase large music equipment cases to smuggle the lab from one site to another. Jesse and his girlfriend Andrea (Emily Rios) invite Walter to dinner, where Walter feels guilt upon seeing Andrea's son Brock, whom he secretly poisoned. Meanwhile, while discussing Walter's upcoming 51st birthday with Marie (Betsy Brandt) at the car wash, Skyler begins to light a cigarette. As Marie begins to confront her about the harm of smoking, Skyler screams "shut up" repeatedly and suffers a nervous breakdown. The first cook at the mobile site is a success, and afterwards, Walter feigns enthusiasm for Jesse's relationship with Andrea, but hints that Jesse should break up with her after mentioning the problems it would cause if she discovered his secret life. Marie confronts Walter at home about Skyler's breakdown and demands to know the truth. Walter tells her about Skyler's affair with Ted Beneke (Christopher Cousins) and that her breakdown was due to stress over Ted's recent accident. After Marie leaves, Walter decides not to attend to Skyler. When she emerges from the bedroom hours later, she finds Walter, Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte), and Holly watching the final scene of ''Scarface'', which further frightens her. Mike allocates the money earned from the first cook, but Walter becomes angry when so much of it is given to dealers, mules, Saul, and Vamonos Pest. Walter becomes further enraged when he learns of the hazard pay to Mike's old henchmen but eventually relents. Walt deduces that the final amount taken home by the partners was less than what he was making when he was working for Gus. Jesse, who reveals that he broke off the relationship with Andrea, tells Walt that he was "looking at it wrong." Jesse explains to Walt that under Gus, they were employees, but as owners they were actually making more considering the volume of the output. Walt, however, hints that they may need to get rid of some of the other members of the team. 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「Hazard Pay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
