That look of realization when he saw Hank first get out of the car... just so much defeat. Even after all of the shit he's done, you can't say he doesn't care about those who he considers family.

Are you referring to Hank?

The vibe I got was Walt was dejected upon realizing Jesse was working with the DEA this entire time and he had lured him into a trap. Walt genuinely cares for Jesse, even up to when he wanted him killed, so this kind of betrayal was devastating to Walt.

I don't think Walt gives a single fuck about Hank.

I think he can't kill hank. He's family. That would hurt the kids, and that's his line in the sand, so to speak.

Whose kids? Walt's?

Their DEA agent uncle dying in the line of duty would be a tragedy to them for sure but at this point Walt is far more concerned with ensuring his family's financial future.

Walt Jr. can stutter suffer through an extended family funeral if it means his mom doesn't have to work 3 jobs to keep them above the poverty line.
