Breaking Bad, Season 5

Hank:
Skyler, my- my head is spinning. And yours... I-I can't even imagine. So much makes sense to me now. You jumping in the pool. You sending us your kids, I get it. I just wished I'd seen it sooner. He's a monster. He's a- Look, I don't know what he did to you to force you to keep his secrets. If he threatened you, or whatever mind games he played. I don't know if there was abuse. But I want you to know that you can be open with me. Don't hold anything back, okay? I mean, I don't even understand if you know the full extent of this, what he's done. Not just the meth cooking, but the lives he's destroyed. But look, that's all behind you. Starting now, you're done being his victim. Because here's what we're gonna do. Sky, here's what we're gonna do: you and the kids are gonna move back to our house where you'll be safe, where he can't get to you.

Skyler:
Hank, does Marie...

Hank:
No, no, we'll get to that soon enough. It's just you and me right now, okay?

Skyler:
Okay.

Hank:
Before we, um, before we get you back to the house, I...

[Hank takes out a recording device and turns it on.]

Hank:
I'm gonna ask you to tell me everything you can. Um, take as long as you like. Just, um, start from the beginning when you first became aware of Walt's activities, and just- just try to be as detailed as you can.

Skyler:
Um, what? Right-right here? Right now?

Hank:
Sure, why not? While it's still fresh, you know? And just, um, just, um, remember to, um, just state your name and the date before you start.

Skyler:
Hank, do... do we have to- have to do this right now?

Hank:
No, we-we don't have to do this right now. No.

[Hank turns off the recording device.]

Hank:
But just here's the thing. You see, I need something solid that I can bring to my people. A statement on the record. So you testifying to Walt's criminal activities - whatever you know - can go a long, long way here. Okay, I mean, you see, building a case this big, gathering all this evidence, enough to get a conviction- we're talking a long-haul proposition here. And I don't want that bastard running out the clock. But with your testimony-

Skyler:
Wait, what do you mean "running out the clock?"

Hank:
His cancer. His cancer's back. So he said. He didn't tell you? Who's to say it's even true? Lying piece of shit. Look, regardless, I mean, we'll just assume. Fine. Okay? You know what? That son of a bitch looks me in the eye and he says if what I know is true, if... he'll be dead before I can prove it. The balls on that son of a- I got all these little pieces. They're all part of the story, right? But they don't mean much on their own. But when you start telling me what you know, when you start filling the gaps, I'll have him in lockup before the sun goes down.
