"Cat's in the Bag..." is the second episode of the American television drama series Breaking Bad. Written by Vince Gilligan and directed by Adam Bernstein, it aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on January 27, 2008.
Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) return the RV to Jesse's house, which was previously owned by Jesse's late aunt. When they open the RV to remove the two bodies inside, they notice that one of them is still moving. Emilio (John Koyama) is dead, but Krazy-8 (Maximino Arciniega) is still breathing. The unconscious Krazy-8 is taken into the basement of the house and secured to a pole with a bicycle lock around his neck. Walt suggests that they should use hydrofluoric acid to dissolve Emilio's corpse, so it leaves no evidence behind. Walter and Jesse must dispose of the corpse and kill Krazy-8. They toss a coin to see who will do what. Jesse wins and chooses to dispose of the corpse, so leaving Walter to kill Krazy-8.
Walter instructs Jesse to buy a bin made from polyethylene in which the corpse can be properly dissolved, but Jesse cannot find a bin big enough to accommodate the corpse. Walter is thinking about suffocating Krazy-8, but ends up giving him water, a sandwich and bathroom supplies instead. Jesse returns home and asks how the murder went, and Walter promises to take care of Krazy-8 the next day. Meanwhile, the pregnant Skyler (Anna Gunn) begins to suspect that Walter is doing something in secret. She finds Jesse's address online and questions Walter as to who he is. Walter does not know what to say, so he makes up a lie saying that Jesse sells him marijuana. Skyler then confronts Jesse while he is trying to dispose of Emilio's corpse, warning him that her brother-in-law is a DEA agent. Skyler doesn't notice Emilio's corpse.
