Walter received a coded message from his friend Saul. Walter is accustomed to encrypted communication, it is a must in his line of business. However, this time Saul didn't use any of the prearranged ciphers. Perhaps they were compromised. Anyway, Walter started cracking the new cipher right away and it didn't take him long before he figured it out. He circled a couple of numbers (shown in bold) and suddenly ran away without reading the rest of the message.

109 44 7 95 26 100 110 61
73 16 19 69 7 91 18 10
8 95 74 81 3 42 2 101
94 1 52 63 53 21 34 56
99 85 101 51 7 41 71 34
4 85 111 78 109 106 53 2
87 92 10 54 16 49 32 84
20 53 2 17 75 72 45 2

What was the full message?

The numbers represent

chemical elements

and he only circled the bold ones because

you only take the elemental abbreviations in the prime-numbered positions.

The full message is:

RUN FEDS KNOW HEISENBERG IS HERE
