"Confessions" is the eleventh episode of the fifth season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the 57th overall episode of the series. Written by Gennifer Hutchison and directed by Michael Slovis, it aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on August 25, 2013.
Todd (Jesse Plemons) recalls how he helped steal methylamine from the train to his uncle Jack (Michael Bowen) and one of his men, Kenny (Kevin Rankin), at a diner. Todd says the operation was perfect and "No one even knew they got robbed, just like we planned." He neglects to mention that he killed the child who discovered them after the train rolled away. Agreeing to Todd's new placement cooking meth on his own, Jack and Kenny drive back into New Mexico.
Meanwhile, Hank (Dean Norris) enters the interrogation room with Jesse (Aaron Paul) and tells him that he knows Walt (Bryan Cranston) is Heisenberg. Jesse refuses to cooperate. Saul (Bob Odenkirk) enters and threatens a lawsuit unless Jesse is released. Later, Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) comes home and informs his father that Marie (Betsy Brandt) has asked him to help repair her computer and invited him to stay for dinner. Walt manipulates his son into staying home by confessing that his cancer has returned.
