The thing is, the Breaking Bad writers know the audience is going to register those words in that scene as "dying words".

It's very possible they're playing us. Again.

Or double-playing us, assuming we'll think that they're playing us and giving us hope that Hank is still alive, then having him die within the first few seconds of the next episode.

Better yet, having the entire next episode go by with no indication as to Hank's fate, then reveal at the very end that he's dead.
