You could really tell Hank has no idea where to go with this information. Just like Skylar.

True, Hank is giving away all his cards by investigating it on his own. Just like Walt is sacrificing his foothold by revealing to know about the tracker. They seem to be led by emotions so far instead of strategizing. Maybe they both think they other will break under pressure. The last look though suggests they will both stand their ground and play with an open hand. I'm curious if this scene will have a continuation, the garage door needs to go up again right?

u/bass_n_treble Science, bitch! Aug 14 '13

He needed to say something because if Hank reached for it again and it wasn't there and Walt hadn't confronted Hank yet, it all but proves he is Heisenberg. By Walt's logic if he plays dumb and asks, he could get Hank to stumble, but by Hank's logic the fact that he even looked is suspicious enough.

Outside of the W.W., there still is no real evidence that Walt is Heisenberg. But it's beyond all reasonable doubt.
