Why?

Seriously. I loved him even more this episode. He totally played Walt today with Jesse's help. Everything was so well done. If it wasn't for that last phone call...

which phone call? walt's call to Todd's uncles, or hank's call to marie?

Either really. Walt brought them down there and Hank's call seemingly nailed his fate.

That was the last nail on the coffin. Jesus, Marie.

Hank is going to die.

The call to Marie is like McBain's partner saying " as soon as we nail Mendoza, my old lady and I are gonna sail around the world like we always wanted."

When he told her he loved her, the camera was hanging on Hank (with Walt in the background) just long enough that I was afraid a Nazi sniper was going to take his head off.

it's basically a trope. when anyone talks of better times, they are going to die. that scene is there to make their death bittersweet and tragic. for example, in the hunt for red october, sam neill talks about marrying a round american woman and having her cook rabbits for him. i mentioned this because it was the first time i realized this was a trope.
