## Tour (5 steps)

1. It starts with one man: a high-school chemistry teacher with a diagnosis and no savings.
2. He needs someone who already knows the trade, so he goes to a former student who failed his class.
3. The family he says he is protecting is also the problem: his brother-in-law runs the DEA case against Heisenberg.
4. Going professional means going to work for someone else, a fast-food chain owner running the whole southwest.
5. Scrub the timeline and watch it thin out. Almost everyone he pulled in is gone by 2013.
