the one who knocks

In the criminal underworld when a man becomes so powerful he is able to show up at another man's home and kill him without repercussions, there are two people involved in this scenario. The one who opens the door and gets shot, and the one who knocks.
I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!

-Walter White
