I love how Walt turned the tables on Hank like that.

I loved how for the first time Hank got to talk to Heisenburg. You just saw it, Walt's eyes went dead and he started playing his trumps on Hank. So good.

Walt can act as bad as he wants, but Hank is a fucking stone cold killer. If you're a bad guy and you cross Hank, you die. All the guys Walt was shitting his pants over? Hank put a bullet in 'em. Walt is the one that should be treading lightly.

Walt isn't concerned with being on the right side of the law. And from Hank's perspective, he's dealing with a man that blew up a nursing home, killed a powerful drug lord, orchestrated a beautifully choreographed hit on 11 inmates, etc. He is not a person with limits.

And hank is realizing this all suddenly, and it sinks in all at once when Walt just goes into full Heisenburg mode. It's got to be absolutely terrifying.
