"All I know is that it's going to happen" Mr. White continued. Jesse raised his arm and aimed the gun at Mr. White. "And I'm powerless to stop it." He froze when he saw him.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Why'd you do it?" Jesse asked him in return. "Why?"
"Jesse… Gus gave me no choice. I had to call the DEA to protect my family"
"No. No, you son of a bitch. You know what you did"
Mr. White raised his hand to calm Jesse down. "Okay, look just, just put the gun down okay? Just put it down and we'll talk, alright? Y-you tell me what it is you think I did"
"Brock" Jesse said simply. "Why did you poison him?"
"Who's Brock?" asked Mr. White confused.
"You saw him in my living room just last night. You came into my door and you looked right at him so don't tell me you don't know him!"
"Th-The boy? Jesse, I-I have no idea who this people are. N-Now please, okay, that's Brock and he was poisoned?"
"The ricin! He's dying 'cause someone gave it to him! And only you and I, we're the only two people on earth who knew about it!"
"No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Maybe he went into your pockets…"
"No! I had it! I had the cigarette with the ricin in my pack this morning." He breathed sharply. "The last time I saw Brock was last night. And this morning I switched the cigarette into a new pack. There's no way Brock took it himself!"
Mr. White was terrified now. "Jesse, you're not thinking clearly. Y-You said it yourself, that you had it this morning, then when could I have possibly gotten it?"
"You, you had Saul do it" Jesse said, unsure.
"What?"
"Yeah, yeah, I went to his office. He called me. He just had to see me today. His big man bodyguard patted me down, that's when he must have stolen off of me, right? That's the plan! Was that the plan?!"
"Jesse…" Mr. White said sadly. "Why? Why in God's name, would I poison a child?"
"To get back at me! Because I'm helping Gus and this is your way of ripping my heart out before you're dead and gone! Just admit it! Admit what you did! Admit it!"
"I didn't do this!" Mr. White yelled desperately.
"Shut up!" Jesse snapped as he shoved Mr. White. "STOP LYING!"
"I'm not, I'm not lying" Mr. White said from the floor. "I'm not lying! Just listen. Listen to me. What would I win from that? What could I possibly…? Who, who would be…? Oh my God…" he suddenly realized. He started laughing at the absurdity of it all. Castiel frowned, he was clearly missing something.
"Stop laughing." Jesse said. "STOP LAUGHING!"
At last, Mr. White stopped. "I have been waiting all day, waiting for Gus to send one of his men to kill me…" He looked right at Jesse. "And it's you. Who do you know, who's okay with using children? Jesse, who do you know, who's allowed children to be murdered, hmm? Gus! He has been ten steps ahead of me at every turn. And now, the one thing that he needed to finally get rid of me is your consent. And boy, he's got that now. He's got it. And not only does he has that but he manipulated you into pulling the trigger for him"
Jesse refused to believe him. "No, only you and I knew about the ricin"
"No!" Now it was Mr. White's turn to shout. "You don't even believe that! Gus has cameras everywhere, please. Listen to yourself!" He scoffed. "No, he's known everything all along. Where were you today? In the lab?! And you don't think it's possible that Tyrus lifted the cigarette out of your locker? Come on! Don't you see? You are the last piece of the puzzle. You are everything that he's wanted. You're his cook now. You're the cook and you have proven that you can run a lab without me. And now, that cook has reason to kill me. Think about it! It's BRILLIANT. So go ahead. Come on. If you think that I am capable of doing this, then…" he grabbed Jesse's hand and positioned the gun to his head "Put a bullet in my head and kill me right now"
Jesse breathed through clenched teeth. "I'll do it"
"DO IT!" Mr. White challenged. "Do it!"
"I'll do it" Jesse repeated.
"Do it" Mr. White said for the last time.
Jesse's hand shook. He was crying. Castiel stood still, watching in suspense for a few agonizing seconds. Heart beating fast. After what felt like an eternity, Jesse lowered the gun. Castiel let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Mr. White exhaled and looked down. Jesse walked away.
"Where are you going?" Mr. White asked without looking at him.
"To find the son of a bitch and I'm going to kill him"
"No! Don't. He'll see you coming" he walked up to Jesse, who had his hand on the doorknob. "You'll die before you get anywhere near him"
"I don't care" Jesse said emotionless.
Mr. White grabbed the other man's arm. "Jesse, just get in your car. Just, go. Just drive"
"No. I'm going to do this one way or another, Mr. White" he said determined.
"Then let me help"
