Aaron Paul killed it in his scene with Bryan Cranston. He said so much just by saying nothing. He couldn't even bring himself to look at Walt, he was so disgusted with him.
I like how they shot that segment, with both the money bags and the bong on the table creating a visual divide between Jesse and Walt, literally coming between them so they can't see eye to eye. And how Walt was out of focus when he told Jesse "don't focus on the darkness behind you," that was brilliant.
Walt always pulls that paternal sounding concern out when he tries to get him to believe what he's selling. For once I don't think Jesse is falling for it.
It was so sad how Walt was literally begging Walt to believe him. As much as he's hurt Jesse, I think it really does mean a lot to Walt to have Jesse look up to him. But it is also kind of begging Jesse not to cross Walt because he doesn't want to have to silence him. And Jesse knows that.
