Rejected Bad: Trans Rights
The following is a rejected script from an early season of Breaking Bad.
INT. JESSE'S LIVING ROOM - DAY
Jesse, sporting a dishevelled appearance, sits on his worn-out couch, browsing the internet on his laptop. Meth Head, his pet samoyed, lies lazily next to him.
JESSE: (deep in thought) Man, I've been having some weird experiences online lately.
He furrows his brow as he comes across a group discussing his gender identity.
JESSE (CONT'D): (confused) What the hell? These people think I'm trans? Where'd they even get that idea?
Jesse glances at Meth Head, who looks up at him with his big, innocent eyes.
JESSE (CONT'D): (grinning) I mean... I'm flattered, I guess?
Jesse pats Meth Head on the head absentmindedly.
JESSE (CONT'D): (softly) Good dawg, always keepin' me grounded.
After a moment of reflection, Jesse's confusion turns into determination.
JESSE (CONT'D): (resolute) You know what? Maybe this is a chance to do some good. Promote acceptance and all that.
He grabs his phone, takes a quick selfie holding a hand-drawn and misspelt "Trans Rights" sign, and attaches it to a post.
JESSE (CONT'D): (typing) "Ayo, everyone! Just so we're clear, I ain't transgender, but I support trans rights! Love and respect for all!"
Jesse hesitates for a moment and then clicks the "post" button. He leans back on the couch, contemplating what he just did.
METH HEAD: (thinking) Yo, Jesse! Can we go get Taco Bell tonight?
INT. GUS' OFFICE - DAY
Gustavo "Gus" Fring sits behind a large desk, his piercing gaze fixated on the monitor. The internet buzz surrounding Jesse's recent post catches his attention.
GUS: (into the phone) Well, well, well... Jesse Pinkman just became
an accidental advocate. Interesting...
Gus smirks as he hangs up the phone.
GUS: That kid might be alright after all.
INT. HANK AND MARIE'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Hank and his wife Marie sit on their couch, engrossed in a true crime documentary about the rise of meth groupies. The TV remote rests idly in Hank's hand.
HANK: (muttering) Damn, Marie. This "Banana Thrower" case is driving me nuts. The guy's one step ahead every damn time. Thankfully mayor Johnson’s clavicle remains untouched.
MARIE: (sighs) Maybe you need to think outside the box, Hank. Sometimes breaking the rules can lead you to the truth.
INT. JESSE'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Jesse's phone buzzes relentlessly next to an empty Taco Bell wrapper. He picks it up, astonished at the overwhelming response to his post.
JESSE: (whispering) No way... This is blowin' up like crazy.
Jesse smiles, conflicted but proud of the support he has received.
JESSE (CONT'D): (to Meth Head) See, buddy? Sometimes you gotta stand up for somethin', even if it ain't about you.
Meth Head wags his tail with approval, but his eyes are fixated on Jesse’s unfinished meal.
FADE OUT.

Y/N’s POV
You didn’t even realize that you had fallen asleep. You were woken up by Maggie gently shaking you awake
You opened your eyes with the sunlight blinding you. You reached out to Maggie and she helped you get up.
“Hey is everything okay” You asked
“Jubal and Tiff and even Scola are here their working on taking care of everything” Maggie said
“What about Omar, is he okay?” You asked.
“He’s good he’s still at the Jail but he’s in protective custody right now” Maggie said
“Has anyone talked to him or at least seen him” You asked
“Jubal has he’s in there with him now he’s not alone okay” Maggie said. Grabbing my hand and giving it a tight squeeze.
“Okay good what do we do now” You asked eager to get this whole thing over with.
“First you need to eat okay and relax. There is nothing for you to do now. We're Just waiting for the warrants to come in and then we're going to be handing them out” Maggie said.
“Yeah but there has to be something I can do to help this get along” You asked.
“No Okay there is some food I brought for you so you eat and take care of yourself okay.” Maggie said, smiling at you.
“What about you, where are you going ?” You asked
“I’m going down to meet with the team and help them okay but I promise we will keep you updated every step of the way” Maggie said.
“Thank you Maggie Really for everything” You told her
“Of course we're family I gotta go okay but I’ll see you later” Maggie said giving your hand one last squeeze and then heading out.
You watched her go leaving you alone in the room again. A knot in your stomach was growing and you tried your best to make it go away.
Maggie was right you probably did need to relax today.
Knowing that the past week has been really hard and stressful. You were getting worried about the twins.
Also Knowing that the stress wasn’t going to be good for them. So you decided it was best to take it easy.
You got up and got the breakfast Maggie got you and headed back to the bed. You laid down ate and watched TV.
It felt like the whole week was catching up to you because your body was hurting and it was so sore. Your feet were swollen and it also felt like your whole body was as well.
The hours were just going by so slow. You kept glancing at the door hoping that Omar or someone would just come in.
They would tell you everything was going to be okay. That we could all go back home.
My anxiety was getting the better of me though. I don’t know if it was better to be out in the field or at home worrying.
Suddenly your phone rang you jumped up and looked at it. It was a unknown number with a text telling you to meet them down by a shady part of town. Now a normal person would have said hell no.
But for some reason you had this overwhelming feeling that you should go. So you got up and threw on some casual clothing and headed out.
You debated on texting someone letting them know where you were going but you decided against it.
They would tell you not to go which was the right thing to do but it was a lot harder said than done.
In Chicago there were so many variants that it could have been. If it was back home in NYC then yeah you probably wouldn’t have gone. Which is way crazier when it’s said out loud.
You headed out to the car and made sure you had all your locations on. The nerves were getting the better of you as you could feel yourself shaking.
It felt like it took forever to get there. Which of course it did.
Finally after a while you reached your destination and got out. There was a person in a black SVU who also got out of the car.
You could feel your heart beating out of its chest wondering who it was.
Then out came Hailey and Voight. You don’t know if seeing the two of them was a relief or should you be more worried.
You hesitantly walk over and they meet you in the middle.
“What do you want” You asked
“You know what it is we want” Voight said
“I thought we were family” Hailey said
You didn’t even really saying anything because you don’t even remember the last time you had a full conversation with her.
“Wow really when was the last time we idk hung out or talked” You said
“And not that any of this matters but I didn’t know what where investigating when we came down to look for OA. We were just worried about him.” You said
“Second of all I’m not the one who started any of this. Your not above the law you can’t do whatever you want and think it’s okay” You said
“I don’t have time for this” You said
“To busy serving those warrants” Voight asked.
You just looked at him and laughed.
“You are going to get everything you have coming to you and I can’t wait to watch” You said.
“Really now I like to see you try” Voight said.
“This is not okay things don’t work like this anymore. People need to be held accountable. For what they do.” You said
“What about your dad” Hailey asked
You looked at her and got upset. He didn’t deserve any of this.
“You were the one who brought him into this. Made him turn into something that he never wanted to become” You said
“If you really loved him the way you say you do then turn yourself in don’t let this become something more than it already is” You said
Of course Hailey didn’t say anything. She just looked down at her shoes. You decided this conversation wasn’t going anywhere and it was best to leave.
You turned and walked away getting into your car. You got in and then your phone went off again. This time it was someone you actually wanted it to be.
Omar’s ID lit up the phone and you quickly answered it.
“Hey where are you, are you okay?” You asked super fast.
“Hey slow down okay I’m fine I technically bailed out and I’m back at the office with Jubal were good” Omar said
You took a giant big breath you felt like a weight had been lifted off of your shoulder and chest.
“I’m coming okay I wanna see you” You said
“Okay of course I’ll be here waiting for you okay so please please be safe” OA said
“I will I love you” You said
“I love you more” OA said
You ended the call and made your way over to him. It finally felt like everything was going okay. OA was safe. And all we needed was to finish handing out those warrants.
You made your way down to the FBI field office. You drove faster than you should have if your being honest. But you were in such a rush to get there.
Finally you made your way there and hurried out the car. Basically running up to where he was.
When you got there he was sitting down at desk by himself. He was in his plain clothes. You could see his face and how tired he was.
“Omar” You shouted.
He looked up and smiled at you and stood up and jogged to where you were. He grabbed you in the tightest embrace you just both just sat like that. Enjoying each other’s embrace.
Finally OA let go and he kissed the top of your head. He let go and looked down at you and took a hand and rubbed your belly for a second.
“How are you really okay don’t lie to me” You asked
“Tired but I’m just glad you here and your safe” OA said
“I’m glad your here to. How much longer until this is all over” You asked
“Not to much longer. We just word that Hailey and Voight are back at the unit and Jubal went over there.” OA said
“They made me wait here but It’s Okay I don’t mind I’m here with you” OA said grabbing your hand.
“What about Maggie and Scola , and Tiff are they okay” You asked.
“There good they made some of the lower arrest and now there meeting Jubal down at the district” OA said
“So this is it really I mean were all done” You said
“Were done and we are headed home okay. Tomorrow I promise and we are going to get back on track. We got our babies to be focused on” OA said.
“I agree we also need a long vacation too. I wanna go somewhere warm and swim and have my feet in the sand.” You said laughing.
OA grabbed you and pulled you in as close as he could and looked down and smiled at you.
“Sounds amazing honestly and I wanna see you in a nice bikini you would look so hot” OA said smirking at you.
“Then once we go home your gonna take me away. We got time before the babies come” You said
“It’s done I got you” OA said leaning down and kissing you.
“Here sit down Let me get you something to drink and eat” OA said
You sat down in the seat and then looked up at him and smiled and thanked him and he went off.
You wanted to say you were fine but you know that was his way of showing he cared. That he needed it so you didn’t want to argue with him.
He came back a few minutes later with one of those vending machine sandwiches two of them some chips and drinks.
He sat allt the food down in front of you and then sat down next to you.
You passed out the food evenly and he gave you a confused look on his face.
“Well I sure as hell am not gonna eat all this myself” You said
He laughed and opened up the food and you two started eating together. You both were hella hungry and devoured the food together.
Omar’s phone rang and he picked it up. It was a little hard to follow what was going on because he wasn’t saying much to who ever was on the other line.
He hung up the phone and looked at you and smiled.
“They got them Hailey and Voight. They served the warrants Maggie and Everyone are on the way back here” OA said smiling.
“Thank goddess I am so proud of you. This was all you” You told him.
“No No it was a joint effort” OA said ]
“No don’t do that your the one who came down here your the one who put themselves in danger this was all you.” You said
OA smiled and quietly thanked you he could never openly admit credit for himself. Even when he deserved it.
A little while later the team came back and you both got up and greeted them. Everyone hugged each other.
“Okay everyone I just want to say Good work out there we did good we got what we came for and thanks to OA justice was served” Jubal said.
“No thank you everyone. This was all a team effort I’m glad we can wrap this up and go home” OA said
“Cheers to that. Now let’s go out and celebrate we can finish paper work up back at home” Jubal said.
“You guys go have fun there is someone I want to see before we go home” You said
Everyone nodded and didn’t fight against it. They all knew who you were going to see anyways.
You headed out and made your way down. You thought this victory would make you feel good. But it always hurt when people were left behind to clean up the mess.
You got into your car and drove down. Looking around at the city you grew up in. It no longer was your home anymore. A sad and bitter feeling it was.
You made your way to his apartment building and went up to his unit. You knocked on the door. The nerves were strong and after a few moments your dad opened up the door.
He looked defeated and upset and you couldn’t imagine what he was going through.
“You just gonna stand there or are you coming in” Jay asked giving you a smile.
You walked in and he shut the door behind him and walked over to you. He gave you a big hug. And you hugged him back.
“I love you” Jay said
“I love you more” You said
“I don’t think that’s possible” Jay said
You both let go and you looked at him with a look on your face that was confused and upset .
“You don’t hate me” You asked
Jay looked at you taken back at what you had just said.
“I could never hate you ever. I love you more than anyone in this world and what happened wasn’t your fault I don’t blame you one bit” Jay said
“What are you going to do now” You asked.
“I don’t know honestly. But I think I need to take a step back from Intelligence. I was in talks before this about teaching at the academy. Making sure things are taught right the first time.” Jay said
“You would be amazing at that and they would be so lucky to have you” You told him.
“What about Hailey” You asked
“I think I need to move on start fresh. Figure some things out for myself” Jay said
“Your gonna be okay I know it” You said
“Well I got my grandbabies to look forward to” Jay said
“We can’t wait for you to come down and be there and meet them” You said
“I can’t wait either” Jay said.
“How about you stay here tonight we can have dinner and watch movies together just like we used to” Jay asked.
“I would love to” You said.
You made sure to text OA and tell him where you were spending the night at.
You went into your old room and found some old oversized clothes you used to have and changed into. Pulling the bedding off and headed back out.
You both headed to the couch and the two of you spent the time together. It was nice and I think you both needed it before you left.
After dinner and a couple of movies together you both fell asleep on the couch. Proving no matter how old you were you still needed your dad with you.
The morning came and you kinda didn’t want to leave so soon. You felt like this was the worst way to come down and bond but you were glad it had a happy ending with him.
*****************************************************
Four Months Later….
You were back in NYC and things were finally normal again. You and OA went on a trip when you came back. A last minute trip to Mexico for a week and it was amazing. It was like you both needed the moment to gather yourself together.
Not to mention OA looked hella hot in his bathing suit shorts all though. You didn’t see him that much.
Also you came back with a nice surprise. OA had asked you to marry him. And of course you said Yes. You both were over the moon.
You guys has been busy getting the nursery together and nesting really was a thing. Everything was going good.
The twins were healthy and strong. OA was thriving and he was doing a lot better.
The babies were coming soon. You picked out names finally. The boy was named after OA’s day with Joseph as the middle name.
The girl was Named after his Grandmother with Maggie as a middle name.
Jay was doing good to. He left intelligence and became a instructor at the academy. Him and Hailey didn’t last. But he was happy working on himself.
Kevin became the new Leader of Intelligence after passing his detective exam. They got a new guy named Torres to Join at Jay’s recommendation.
Hailey took a deal. She avoided prison time by turning in Voight. She left Chicago and started over somewhere else. Part of you felt bad knowing Voight just brought her down with him.
Jay and Will were coming down in a few weeks in order to be there for you when you gave birth.
Justice was severed that day. No matter how hard it is you always have to do the right thing no matter what.
