A New Life

Friday, May 19th (nineteenth) 2017

Before & After: A New Life!

              Today’s document is a scene from the first episode of the series “Breaking Bad”.
              THe first scene took place in the doctor’s office. The patient looked sad / in shock / lost, because he just learned that he was sick. He had / has cancer.
              In the second scene, the patient / Mr White spoke with his ex-student. Mr White was curious about the ‘activity’ / ‘hobby’ of his ex-student: the drug business!
              HE wanted to cooperate with his ex-student to sell drugs because “he knows the chemistry”.
              It’s not just a simple offer! It’s blackmail because Mr White proposed  a sort of deal to the student, but if the student refused, Mr White would call the police…
              Mr white USED TO have a normal / boring life.
              He USED TO be a chemistry teacher.
              He USED TO be like everybody.
              Not anymore!...

Strange Blackmail…

Today’s document is a teaser / trailer for the TV series ‘Breaking Bad”.
THe first scene took place in the doctor’s office. We saw a doctor and a patient. The patient, Mr White, Looked totally absent / ‘lost’ because the doctor told Mr White he had a lung cancer. Mr White was in shock…
Before this devastating news, Mr White USED TO be a chemistry teacher. He USED TO have a normal / basic life. He USED TO be a good man, etc.
Mr White went to see his ex student. He wanted to begin a partnership with him. He proposed / offered to work him to sell drugs, because he needed money.
“You know the business. And I know the chemistry.”
But this isn’t a simple offer, it’s blackmail!
If the ex student refuses, Mr White will call the police!
