The next day, Walt waits at a local chicken restaurant called Los Pollos Hermanos, where the distributor has arranged to meet them; Jesse comes in late, still [[substance intoxication|high]], and leaves quickly afterwards. Nobody talks to Walt, but he realizes later that the distributor saw him and has refused to work with him. Meanwhile, Jane [[relapse]]s into drug addiction and introduces Jesse to [[heroin]]. The next day, Walt goes back to the same restaurant and waits until closing. He eventually realizes that the man he assumes is the restaurant manager is in fact the distributor, and asks for a meeting. The manager eventually reveals that he is the distributor, and that he cannot work with a drug addict like Jesse. Walt assures him that his product is the best there is, and that he only uses Jesse because he can count on his complete obedience. The manager assures Walt that he will be in touch if he decides to work with the duo, and warns Walt never to trust a drug addict.
 
[[Skyler White|Skyler]] helps the company celebrate her boss [[Ted Beneke|Ted]]'s birthday, where she sings him a [[Happy Birthday, Mr. President|sultry version]] of "[[Happy Birthday to You]]". She later finds, while investigating the accounts, that there are [[creative accounting|many inaccuracies]] in the payments to the company. Ted admits that he has evaded taxation on millions of dollars ofby under-reporting revenue to keep the company afloat and support its employees. Skyler says she will not turn him in, but cannot be a part of his illegal doings; however, she later comes back to work. Walt gets a message telling him to come to the restaurant, where he learns from the actual manager that the man he met is the owner of several stores, and that his name is [[Gus Fring]]. Just as Walt is about to leave, an associate of Gus named Victor blocks him from exiting and tells him to deliver the meth to a [[truck stop]] within the next hour. Walt rushes to Jesse's apartment and breaks in while Jesse and Jane are in a heroin-induced haze. At the same time, Skyler goes into labor and tries to contact Walt. Walt is tortured about his choice, but decides to meet with Gus anyway.
