Walt pretends to be a New York Times reporter and tracks down his estranged former allies and colleagues, Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz. He orders them to put his remaining millions of dollars into a trust fund for his son, Walt Jr., and make it look like they were the ones who endowed the trust with the money. He threatens them that they'd better obey, and that he has hitmen who will be watching them, which he proves when red lasers appear aimed at their chests.
After they agree to his terms, Walt leaves, and we learn that his "hitmen" were actually Badger Mayhew and Skinny Pete, whom he paid to point the lasers. The information they bring him also leads him to realise that Jesse is still alive.
