Biography

Upon entering the meth trade, Walter Blanco has his business partner José Miguel Rosas contact Emilio and El Loco, old friends of his, to distribute their methamphetamine. They believe that José set them up to be busted by the DEA, especially when they see Walt, who had been at the crime scene during a ride-along. A fight ensues in which José is knocked unconscious, and Loco holds Walt at gunpoint. To save his life, Walt offers to show them how to cook meth, but in reality synthesizes phosphine gas with red phosphorus, causing a chemical reaction that kills Emilio and knocks El Loco unconscious.

Walt and José dissolve Emilio's corpse with chemicals, but are surprised to find that El Loco is still alive. As José disposes of Emilio's remains, he tells Walt to "deal with" El Loco, whom they have tied up in the basement of José's house. Seeing that Walt is not an experienced criminal, El Loco plays on his fear and compassion, telling him he doesn't have it in him to kill and promising he will not tell anyone what happened. Believing he has formed a bond with El Loco, Walt decides to let him go, and goes to the kitchen to make him a sandwich. Suddenly, Walt passes out on the floor, accidentally shattering the plate he had put the sandwich on.

When Walt regains consciousness, he tells El Loco he has lung cancer, and El Loco feigns concern for his health. Walt sees that a piece of the plate is missing, however, and deduces that El Loco plans to stab him with it once he is freed from his restrained. As El Loco reassures Walt that he is doing the right thing, Walt overpowers him and chokes him to death with a bicycle lock. He and José then presumably dissolve his corpse with the same chemicals they used on Emilio.
