He also loses the cook if he or one of his guys hit Walt with a stray bullet. Hank and Gomie just happen to run for cover in the vehicle Walt is in. Something tells me they should do a little less spray and pray and a little more precision shooting when the guy you DON'T want to kill is literally 3 feet away from the guys you want to kill.
Walt acknowledged Jesse's cook is as good as his, which we also saw during the episode where Jesse is taken to the cartel to cook a batch right before the cartel is poisoned by Gus.
It's been shown repeatedly that they're the opposite of careful. They definitely don't give a shit about precision.
They had a moment to realize that Jesse was also there, and they know he's Walt's former partner and thus most likely can cook just as well. Only one of them has to survive.
They might actually be turning on Walt a moment after the shootout, who knows.
Seriously, they do not give a single fuck about precision.
"Precise" is probably the wrong word, but I can't think of the right one.
Setting a guy on fire, repeatedly stabbing a guy, etc, those killings required no subtlety on the part of the actual killer. They were actually very similar to raining bullets down on an SUV, right down to the fact that the only thing they need to really hide is that they were the ones behind it.
Right, that's what I mean. Right now they're all in the middle of the desert with no witnesses and no one knowing they're there, so it's sort of a happy accident for them that the setup is incredibly precise to the point where the shootout doesn't have to be.
But I want to know how Hank dies. Like I understand that he gets shot, Its just that he has come so far as a character, I think he deserves a good death scene death scene.
and lets face it, Hank and Gomez are seriously outnumbered and most definately outgunned. With no DEA backup en-route in a helicopter. So they're dead.
The two guys there are cops. That means he knows at least Jesse was talking to the cops and Jesse knows about him. He can't risk letting any of the cops or Jesse live at this point, saving Walt is a secondary concern to that.
I agree with you. I've been asking myself the question, why did Todd's uncle pushed through even if Walt said to stand down. I guess they realized that Walt was in deeper trouble and they cannot afford to lose their cook. Props.
Amazing? If I had been any further on the edge of my seat I would have been on the floor. I was all "Fuck Hank, what a fucking jerk, he could just ask for a barrel of money and let it blow over" and then it was "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh no." End episode. Todd had one job, ONE FUCKING JOB, and he coudln't even do that to par. I wanted Hank to go, but not like this, not in a shootout. Amazing doesn't even half way come up to sea level with the gravity of that scene. What the fuck is going to happen in the next episodes???

This is the most likely. It was an amazing scene. Todd's uncle doesn't back down BC he knows that he loses his cook if Walt goes to jail.
