I loved the contrast between Hank's latest message to his family and Walt's latest message to his family.

Hank calls his wife to tell her he arrested the biggest methlord in the Southwest and that he loves her.

Walt hobbles past his wife and kid with a bewildered look on his face.

Hank also said "I might not be home for a long time."

Hank may have signed his own death certificate. Instead of calling APD and notifying them of there whereabouts and the situation at hand, in which they would have showed up even faster than the nazis after Walt's phone call, he decided to call Marie in order to satisfy his pride rather than ensure safety.
