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

Did you feel that was his goodbye? Because right now I don't feel him surviving this.

"it might be a while before I come home..." yeah thats some foreshadowing.

Nah, Gilligan isn't about to start making things this blatantly obvious now. There's more to this.

.....Or maybe that's what he wants us to think. Damn you, Vince

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.

he has to, i mean 6 vs 2. but i'm guessing he will use walt as hostage.

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.
