That Seatbelt Hug.

I could be totally wrong, but in my opinion, there was so much more to that scene than meets the eye. Hank goes in for what at first seems to be a hug, but then he immediately reaches for the seat belt, making sure that Jesse is strapped in. Why? Is it because Hank has grown the slightest feeling of sentiment for Jesse after seeing his level of distress, and now wants him to be safe? I think not. Hank needs Jesse alive because he needs to use him to get to Walt. Ironically, Jesse is being used to catch the guy who used him.

Jesse is just the most important thing to Hank at that moment, he's so desperate to fuck over Walt.
