Inferno is the series premiere of the American television action comedy drama series Pinkman's Rampage. It first aired on FX on September 1, 2013.
Summary
Jesse drives Saul's car onto Walt's driveway and quickly snorts a line of meth. He retrieves a gasoline can from the trunk, breaks into the house, and starts dousing the living room with gasoline. Just as he's about to ignite the fuel, Hank bursts in, gun drawn, and commands Jesse to calm down.
Jesse, frantic and desperate, screams about Walt’s crimes, including the poisoning of a child as a strategic move. Hank tries to reason with him, suggesting there’s a better way to handle the situation. Ignoring Hank’s plea, Jesse lights the gasoline and makes a hasty escape.
Hank hesitates, torn between stopping Jesse and ensuring the safety of the family. He puts his gun down slowly and rushes to the front yard. Jesse, meanwhile, storms out through the rear patio door, sprints to the front, and speeds away in Saul’s car. Hank manages to grab Holly and calls for backup.
Act I
In the aftermath of the fire at the White residence, firefighters and police arrived on the scene, working tirelessly to extinguish the flames and secure the area. The once-familiar home was now a smoldering ruin, with emergency crews diligently assessing the damage and investigating the cause of the blaze.
Walt parked down the street from his house, fury building as he saw Saul's abandoned car in the driveway and the smoldering remains of his home surrounded by fire trucks, police cars, and onlookers. Losing his home was a personal blow, and his anger was palpable. Hank and Gomez, shocked by the scene, continued their investigation, trying to piece together the events leading to the devastating fire.
In the evening, when Skyler and Walt Jr. returned home, they were met with disaster. Skyler was devastated, while Walt Jr. was confused and alarmed. When Walt arrived, Skyler demanded to know what had happened. Reluctantly, Walt confessed that Jesse had discovered something he had done and, in a rage, set the house on fire.
Skyler, furious and shocked, expressed that she had always feared something like this would happen. This revelation led to a breakup, with Skyler, Junior, and Holly moving to a hotel temporarily, leaving Walter White to face the consequences of his actions alone. Walt met with Huell and Kuby, urging them to find Jesse.
Meanwhile, Jesse was on the run, driving aimlessly through the night. Listening to news reports on the radio about the fire and an international manhunt for him, he resolved to dismantle everything associated with Walter White's drug empire. Jesse broke into A1A Car Wash, pouring gasoline everywhere from the cashier counter to the car wash area, and successfully set the building ablaze. This led to an aggressive confrontation with Bogdan Wolynetz, whose initial reaction was anger and a planned desire for retribution against Jesse.
Act II
In response to the burning of the White residence and before the burning of A1A Car Wash, at the offices of Saul Goodman & Associates, Saul retrieves a satchel full of cash from the ceiling while Francesca shreds documents. Saul breaks open the wall behind his desk, adorned with "We the People" wallpaper, and takes out a shoebox, which he places inside his luggage. He hands over two rolls of cash and a lawyer's business card to Francesca, instructing her to take a phone call on November 12. Saul offers Francesca a hug before she leaves to dispose of the shredded documents, but she scoffs and walks out. He then takes a disposable cell phone from his desk drawer and calls Ed Galbraith, asking for an emergency extraction in coded language.
Meanwhile, as Jesse drives away from the burned A1A Car Wash, he realizes he needs money and resources. He finds the address for Neil's welding company, Kandy Welding Co., and drives there. Waiting for the strippers to leave, he enters Neil's office and confronts him. Seeing that Jesse is armed with a .22 handgun, Neil agrees to give up his third of Todd's money if Jesse beats him in an old-fashioned duel. Neil reveals a .45 caliber pistol on his hip. However, unaware of the second gun hidden in Jesse's jacket pocket, Neil is killed just as he tries to draw. Casey grabs his own weapon and attempts to shoot Jesse, resulting in a gun battle that leaves Casey dead. Jesse forces the three remaining men to hand over their driver's licenses and allows them to flee, threatening them if they disclose his presence. Before leaving with Neil's share of the money, Jesse rigs a bunch of propane tanks to explode, destroying the building and covering his tracks.
