I'm going with Pollos. I think he gave up Hank to save Walt, knowing that Hank probably had a good chance to off the twins.ETA I think Mike made the actual phone call, but acting on direction from PollosDitkaless Wonders said:
Hank had just been run around by a fake call, much to his detriment. He was naturally indecisive due to recent life experience, and lets face it, the call did not come with any bona fides.If it was just a hit I completely agree with you. This was personal and he wanted to make it personal and to send a message. Disgraced DEA agent gunned down is not much of a message. DEA agent axed to death in daylight at popular local mall, well that is a statement.
Hank ShraederSkyler reminds me of the color Sky blue
No problems here. (1) Hank's a cop. He doesn't run. Remember, he left his gun in his car to go back and beat the crap out of the guys at the bar. (2) The one cousin taking his time and getting the axe was in character. Look at their other scenes like walking up behind the Indian cop with the axe, waiting on the bed for Walt with the axe and just sitting in Pollos' place staring straight ahead. Nothing fazed those guys. They moved at their own pace. And yes, it was telegraphed from the minute the bullet was dropped. But that's okay by me.
I don't think Jesse knows Walt was there. He has been blaming himself for her death this entire season.
Jesse has no clue Walt was there when she died. If he did, he sure as hell wouldn't agree to "50-50."

When the scene began I was rooting for Hank to GTFO of there. Then he froze up, as others in here alluded to. Once the scene became completely telegraphed with Hank and the bullet on the ground, I was rooting for the brother to axe him. I wanted to be surprised. That would of been one of the greatest tv HOLY ####! moments of all time.Also, Hank was mean to Jesse in the opening scene so it made it easy to root against him at the end.you may have been the only person I know rooting against Hank.
Not conclusive
is this shtick?
Yeah, I'm just effing with you....btw, Tuco's uncle kind of looks like the silent assassin from Scarface. You know the guy from Colombia that Tony has to take with him to kill the guy in NYC.
Same actor...
He also looks like the guy who was the original head mob guy in Oz.
Good, I would have not been happy dropping you in the rankings in the upcoming May FFA cheatsheet.
That's pretty cool. Haven't seen him since then but I guess I haven't been looking hard enough. His IMDB resume is impressive.
The Cousins are brothers to each other (in real life as well) but cousins to Tuco.
Duh, I shoulda picked up on that.Meh, end of the day brain fart.Thanks.
Just wait until we see the octuplet cousins of dismemberment.
Hank's not perfect, but he's clearly the best of this group. He's good to his wife, he's good to his in-laws, he's a hard-working, honest cop. IMO neither of the two beatdowns he gave were examples of him breaking bad. The two guys in the bar were hardly innocent, and he didn't do anything illegal. What he did to Jesse was illegal and wrong, but it was also understandable under the circumstances, and he took responsibility for it.
Really? I think his insecurity makes him more likeable.
Who instigates fights with citizens. I'm not sure that's better than his wife who has shoplifted. Maybe I'm remembering wrong -- what was the story with the two in the bar (Keith Jardine and friend) -- what did they do that made them "hardly innocent" ?and Cheney, yes, his insecurity does make him more human and likable, but my point in bringing up his insecurity was the fake bravado that he pairs (or used to at the cop station) it with. That's terrible.
Hank saw the two guys in the bar making a drug exchange at the table.
I like Hank a lot. Sure, he's made major mistakes and beating up Jesse was unforgivable. But the guy is very decent at his core.wildbill said:
Why was it unforgivable? He thought he screwed with his family. Justified.
well if thats the case why didnt they have the ax with them in the first place ...in the parking lot ?
I went back and rewatched this episode sober the other night. Originally, they were just going to take Hank out with their guns. I think after the one brother got crushed courtesy of Hank, however, that's would made the other brother change his mind at the last second and go get the axe so he could make Hank's death as unpleasant as possible. Originally, they were planning a regular hit sans axe, but their botched attempt led the one brother to go get the axe. That's my take anyways.
I'm assuming the cousins didn't know that Hank had turned in his gun. They expected him to be armed, and you don't bring an axe to a gun fight.
but the brother that got crushed shot first...so they had a gun ...if its the other brothers M.O to use an ax he should have had it...just sayin
Because they were stalking a cop who they presumed to be armed with a gun. The very cop who gunned down their cousin. There aren't dumb. That was the reason they bought the bullet proof vests. Once Hank was incapacitated and out of bullets, he thought he could take his time with the axe. Ooops.
the indian cop they killed had a shotgun trained on his brother...and yet he took the chance of the cop hearing him walking up behind him armed with nothing but his favorite weapon , jis ax...just sayin...i think it was a slight oversight on the writers part...but who knows for sure
An unpredictable sociopath... Who'd of thunk it?
In the previews for next week it looks like he's still alive.
Does he get a bell?
