The following day, Skyler visits Bogdan at his car wash to discuss buying out his business. Bogdan asks for ten million dollars. Skyler counters with an offer of approximately $800,000, based on research that she did on the car wash and the industry, to which Bogdan counters with a price of ''twenty million'' dollars.

At a bar, Walt meets with Mike. Walt clarifies to Mike that everything he had done, from [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E12HalfMeasures killing the dealers]] to [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E13FullMeasure having Jesse assassinate Gale]], was done out of loyalty; but Mike barely heeds his excuses and instead asks about his gun, which he noticed when he visited Walt at the lab.

Walt asks Mike to get him alone in a room with Gus, so he could "do the rest".
