Breaking Bad (2008)

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Corrected entry: When WW makes the calculation on how much he needs for his family, he gets to $737,000. He explains to his partner they both together make $70,000 a week and tells his partner they have to cook for eleven weeks. But that means his partner will only get $33,000. So they need to cook meth for 22 weeks (double) to get his partner paid as well. (00:05:20)

Correction: He says "you and I both clear about 70 grand a week", meaning both of them each make about $70K a week. He's not saying combined they only make $70K.

Which 70k a week is 11 weeks with 33k to spare. Making his maths correct.

The maths is correct, after 11 weeks Walter would have an additional $33k. However, the mistake suggests that the $70k per week is shared between them. They actually earn around $140k per week, which they then divide equally.
