If the feds confiscated his money and he took out an insurance policy on himself to take care of whatever members of his family survive to the last episode, he'd need a way die that doesn't trigger the 12 or 24 month suicide exclusion that comes with most new voluntary life policies. I don't think that's the likely scenario here but they've certainly mentioned ricin's difficulty to detect on numerous occasions.
Walt has murdered way, way more people than the Unabomber did. But the Unabomber's brother turned him in.
He has more than nothing right now. Not enough to convict, but not nothing either. He can tie Walt with Gail. He can tie Walt with the missing school lab equipment. He has a picture of Heisenberg that bears a resemblance to Walt. He knows Walt and Skyler have come into money recently that can't be solely explained by owning a car wash. Walt was uniquely positioned to keep Hank away when he was close in the past. And Walt's "tread lightly" and I'll never see a jail cell because of my cancer are not quite admissions, but pretty close. (ETA: He knows Walt has an advanced chemistry background too.)
How can he tie Walt to Gail? He took the book out of Walts house.
He has enough for them to investigate- but THEY will investigate, not him, because his career will be over. As Hank acknowledged, his career is over anyhow. But if he gets enough to turn Walt in, at least he'll get some sort of redemption, and won't be regarded as a total failure.
Don't see that happening. I think they pilfered a little off the top and are happy Walt let it slide.
I don't think Hank or Marie gave Skyler any chances to get out.
That is my guess. When he said "Close Enough" and looked at them, you knew they took more than a few bundles
Oh yeah you would. Especially when you piece together what it means. Hank had a few days to stew on it, and still hasn't put it all together. But he confronted Walt about things. Finding out your brother-in-law killed 10+ people is enough to change your opinion of them in a heartbeat.
Hank still thinks insurance covered his medical bills. Marie knows the whole blackjack story was fake now so Im sure she realizes it now
I think you just answered your own question.
It has ties to Walt.
Submitted where? DQ's assertion was that police investigations -- not convictions -- have started over less. A piece of evidence doesn't have to be admissible to play a role in an investigation.
No, it's a serious question. He knows Walt is a criminal, but that falls under attorney-client privilege unless Saul is aware that a crime is about to happen- has this occurred? He has been given cash to "launder", but hasn't been told explicitly where the money came from, so I have no idea if this is exactly illegal.
Like Walt could even know there was a few stacks missing..he doesn't even know how much money was in that huge stack in the storage unit.Also, where was all the extra dirt from burying the money? Those barrels would have displaced a crapload of dirt, yet when Walt was done, the ground was level/smooth as it was before he started digging.
Flagrantly breaking laws against murder? No problem. But tiptoeing over the line of arcane, unwritten ethical principles relating to conflicts of interest? Unthinkable!
He introduced Walt to Gus knowing it was to sell, then cook meth for him. Took money from each batch.
No, it doesn't. Only communications between Walt and Saul are covered by attorney-client privilege. You'll remember that the lawyer making the Hazard Pay payments was going to testify against Mike.
Now that she's unemployed, I wonder if I could hire Anna Gunn to just follow you around all day and say SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Pretty sure Jesse would qualify as evil. He made a conscious decision to put a bullet in Gale's head.
I don't think that the moral of Breaking Bad has anything to do with who is "truly evil" or not. Breaking Bad is not the type of show that casts people as "good" or "evil" based on a black and white spectrum like that. Breaking Bad recognizes that most people have components of both good and evil within them. That fact has allowed Walter White to remain a relatively sympathetic anti-hero in spite of all of the terrible, seemingly unredeemable things that he has done over the course of the show. Hank is also a blend of both good and bad character traits. He has a fiery temper that he is unable to control at times, such as when he brutally assaulted Jesse Pinkman following the fake phone call. Hank can be a condescending jackass to those around him, including his DEA associates, family, and his own wife Marie. I'm not saying that I think that Hank is "evil," just that he is a combination of both good and bad traits just like most, if not all, humans in reality.
As far as crossovers go, I'm hoping they work Anton Chigurh into the story. Imagine him being the new head of the drug cartel, once again tracking his money in the southwestern US. Also imagine a showdown between him and Walter at the end.
I disagree. Killing Mike was kind of stupid, which Walt realized shortly after he did it.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
There are no saints in this show. Marie and Hank have serious flaws.
After which season? Marie was drinking when she called Walt the devil at the end of season 5a/which was the start of 5b. She also mentioned the vitamins had something to do with her hair looking good.
The season also ended with Hank on the can, and began with him coming out of the bathroom. I'm not sure whether to be more impressed by Marie's ability to have a miscarriage and go back out on the patio drinking in that time, or the length of time Hank was on the crapper.
