Hank Schrader is Walt's loud-mouthed brother-in-law, a DEA agent who’s as gun-loving and macho as Walt is not. One of Hank's investigations involves Walt's abandoned cook site in the desert.
Hank and Walt slip outside during Skyler's baby shower to share stiff drinks and Cuban cigars. "I did a little favor for an FBI guy," Hank says about the Cubans. When Walt says he was under the impression they were illegal, Hank replies, "Yeah, well sometimes the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest, doesn’t it?"
The men talk about what's legal and illegal, but when Walt concludes that "it's arbitrary," Hank disagrees, saying that a lot of guys in jail talk like that and that sometimes stuff that's legal shouldn't be.
"Friggin' meth used to be legal," Hank informs Walt. "Used to sell it over every counter in every pharmacy in America. Thank god they came to their senses on that one, huh?"
