So it Ted dead?
That's what everyone is assuming here but there really was no indication that he actually died. Even when the two guys were in Saul's office, it was never mentioned that he was dead. Saul was just lamenting over the fact that "now THIS happens..."
It's clear in the scene with his men in Saul's office that Ted is dead. If he was just injured they would still be with Ted at his house.Saul: I told her you were my A-team

Hench men: It was an act of god...at least the check is in the mail

Doesn't mean he's dead IMO.

Would they have still mailed the check if he had died? Seems like the problem would be resolved at that point.

Yes.

The entire purpose was to keep the IRS from going after Skyler. He dies without paying and she's the next in line.

The final shot...as the camera backs away and Walt looking like he's in a coffin....such brilliant cinematography....

I don't think we've heard the last from the IRS/Beneke.

Only if Arizona Ron keeps him alive. He's as dead as dead can be, move on.
He's alive.
They should have had some long, tracking shot that made it look like Ted was in a grave. That way we'd know he was dead.

You threw two flags. Do the penalties off-set?

I was trying to surround you. :unsure:
 
Maybe I missed it in my quick scan but how did Jesse know where to drive at the beginning of the episode? Gus was out cold and Mike was barely alive. Am I to believe that Mike knew about the doctors and medical tent and directed Jesse there while he was bleeding and losing consciousness?

It was on the GPS. Duh. "Clandestine Medical Tent Hidden in Mexican Warehouse Outside of Town"I have the same thing programmed in mine.

Ahhh...ok. See I thought that maybe it was the people at the tent that were honking the horn and Jesse was just following that so that he could locate them.

I don't know to what extent Jessie knew who was there. But I'm sure it was discussed that there was some sort of "safe house" & people who could be trusted if they had trouble with the cartel.

Mike was conscious and obviously knew what was going down.
 
All the people speculating that Walt is gonna kill Hank or a member of his family are off. Walt is going to go scorched earth now because he has nothing left to lose. If anything Walt dies at the hands of Jesse or Hank to end the series. Skyler will come clean to Hank and he will have to make a choice about whether to bury it or send her to jail.

Mike is not teaming up with Walter. Mike knows the job and he will be loyal. He will be away for a while to give Walt a more reasonable chance of inflicting damage on Gus.

I am not saying that it is unbelievable but it just seems that as detailed as Gus is in his planning, that he was taking an out of character risk (on top of what he had already planned for the cartel) to be sure that Mike would be around to get him to the hospital while he would surely be dying from the poison. I realize that the whole mission was risky and not every question can be answered. I am ok with that. It's just that, my wife and I were just watching the show when we looked at each other and asked how did Jesse know where he was going if Mike nearly dead and Gus is unconscious.

Not a stretch that Mike gave directions or had a map for Jesse when they jacked that car. Mike was coherent at that point. Would it have made more sense if Jesse had known where the safehouse was prior? Yes. Only watched the episode once. Was it possible that Jesse could have known of the safehouse? Either way Mike was coherent if just barely.

I think Walter kills Gus and Mike and Hank becomes Walt's Mike.
 
I don't really like questioning the show, but I was a little shocked that Saul actually agreed to make that call.
:goodposting: I don't see the upside for Saul there. I also didn't really buy Walt's explanation as to why he couldn't do it himself. I'm pretty sure I could call my wife's coworkers and be 100% confident that they wouldn't recognize my voice.A minor quibble, to be sure, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. Otherwise, another top-notch episode in an amazing season.

Or why did Gus and Jesse have to walk the 6 miles?
There's plenty of reasonable explanations for that, as some have offered here. And in any event it wasn't really necessary to advance the plot. They could easily have just edited out that scene. Calling in the possible attempt on Hank's life, however, is a key turning point and it was executed in a kind of strange way.

But that call was probably recorded and will probably receive more scrutiny than the typical phone call, and Hank himself might listen to it to see if anyone recognizes the voice. Of course, since Saul supposedly has TV commercials airing 24/7 in ABQ, that may be the bigger quibble (but maybe he had a member of his "A Team" or his secretary make the call).

But we didn't hear the call, right? I highly doubt Saul made it himself. Remember he had his secretary (IIRC) make the call about Marie being in bad shape at the hospital last season. He probably had one of the guys on his "A-team" make the call.

Clearly Bill Burr made the call.
 
I don't really care who actually made the call but great strategy by Gus to tell Walt he's going to kill Hank. He knew Walt would talk and get word to protect his BIL. This gets Hank off of Gus's back since he'll now be under surveillance. In addition, Gus can now leverage Walt's loose lips as a reason to Jesse why he has to be killed.

He told Jesse to drive so it's pretty clear that he also told him where to go.

Who needs professional writers? That's GOLD, I tell ya.

Nothing has been executed yet. He could have made the call for Walt or didn't. We'll find out next episode.

I thought it was pretty clear from Marie's call to Skyler at the end of the episode that the call to Hank was made.
