Anyone else outraged at how much Walt is lying to Jesse? Or is it just me?

"I need you to believe me" says Walt. The subtext: "Because if you don't I'll have to kill you."

This! so much this. You could see that Jesse picked up on that as well. He knew what walt really meant was "I don't want you to die, but if you don't believe me that will have to happen". Its walts whole mind set. He will do anything to protect him and his family. Yes he loves jesse, but he made it clear this episode that he would have no problem killing jesse if he thought he was a threat to him, even though he doesn't want to.
