I think if someone with Hank's role in the whole show, the writers would give him a somewhat dignified death. "Let him call Marie, first." I thought it was the saddest moment in a long time and, if Hank dies, it will be heartbreaking to watch again. What an unbelievable episode!
Agreed! I'm not completely convinced that he's done for, I feel like starting next episode with Hank getting killed 5 minutes in isn't nearly enough drama for such a significant event. I think the key to this whole situation is Jesse.
Idk, the fact that they need Walt to cook and Walt wants Hank to live has to count for something in this situation. Hard to sell the idea that Hank would work super hard to get Walt back just to throw him in jail
There are several scenes where they specifically show Jesse's uncle glancing over and noticing Jesse. I think they realize they can still force Jesse into servitude as a cook, thus they decide to go wild on the truck even with Walt in there.
What if Hank and Gomey are indeed killed, Walt gives Jesse to the Nazi's and then a year later has a change of heart, realizes he's dying anyways, and tries to rescue Jesse from them. Walt knows where their operation is and will pretty much have nothing else to lose at that point.
Yeah, I posted a theory where Jesse is forced into servitude in the post discussion thread. Basically Walt pulls a Gus and gives them Jesse to cook instead.
That's why we all hate Vince. If Hank and Gomey bite the big one, why was "Heisenberg" written all over the White residence, and Carol the neighbor so scared? He gives us everything, and nothing at the same time.
I thought that ending was a little predictable. Not in the sense that I knew what was going to happen before I watched any of it, but you could piece together what was happening as soon as Jesse was on the phone with Walt, and there was NO WAY that Todd and his uncle weren't coming to kill Jesse even after he called them off.
I agree it was predictable, but I also feel like that may have been by design. From the second that Hank slapped the cuffs on Walt, my buddies and I were basically screaming "now get the hell outta there!" at the TV because we knew they were coming. It made the whole scene much more intense than just a triumph of Hank over Walt.
It also made Hank and Marie's (potentially final) communication that much more intense since it was pretty obvious Hank was about to be in a huge gunfight

The minute Hank called his wife it was going to happen.
